CBO projects grim budget outlook under Trump

Look, I hate to be the bad news bearer, but the national debt is the biggest problem we have…and it’s about to explode thanks to Trump tax cuts, out of control spending, and rising interest rates. Hundreds of billions are being spent paying interest now, and as rates rise these amounts will only increase. The end is default. Like a third world economy. Bankruptcy. Trump knows how THAT works, doesn’t he.
This is how wars start. Real wars. Real wars aren’t as easy to win as trade wars.

Americans are world’s most inclusive to immigrant citizens, global study finds

Marijuana-infused oils helped Jesus perform miracles, two experts claim

#News420 – Father’s Day edition.
Weed. Cannabis could explain the entire new testament. Think about it. Take a big bong hit and consider the heresy. The movie Hollywood would never dare to make.
I bet it’s even how he pulled off the whole “life after death” trick…those linaments they wrapped him in were soaked in some “healing oils” and “BAM” his almost dead ass walked right out of that tomb three days later. Miracle? Yup. Weed did it.
Make the movie. I dare you. I got ideas. Let’s talk.

Ford reveals 700HP, WWII fighter plane-inspired Mustang for charity

One thing though, Ford…
Why the fuck would you use an insignia (and design it seems) from a fucking Spitfire when you could’ve just as easily modelled this car after a P-51? I mean, then it would be a Mustang thru and thru. Much disappoint.

We now officially know what the “B” in IHOP’s new name means

Seriously? Trading “Pancakes” from your name, where you are the undisputed leader in the segment, for “Burgers”, where you are a minor also-ran or worse “they have burgers?”…what are you thinking? McDonalds is THE International House of Burgers. You’re behind them…and every other burger chain.
Your name used to mean something. Now it’s just wishful thinking of a few misguided IHOP executives (who need to be replaced).

Prince George has been photographed playing with a toy gun and people aren’t happy

Idiots. Toy guns and video games don’t cause people to go on shooting sprees, and gun control, while helpful in reducing gun related violence, won’t solve the problem. Hopelessness. Depression. Mental illness. Inequality. Discrimination. Racism. Intolerance. Poor leadership. Poor parenting. ALL of these factors and more contribute to gun violence. Solve the ACTUAL problems, the gun violence goes with it. Happy people don’t go out and shoot a bunch of people for no reason.

The risk of ‘contagion’ after suicides is real

Because people are basically sheep, and let’s face it: Life is no fucking bowl of cherries for MOST people in this world. It’s a struggle, and it’s hard to see daylight at the end of the tunnel vision.
Perhaps the greatest lesson I learned from my folks, and live by (to a fault, one might argue) is to avoid following the crowd. Thanks Mom & Dad. Look, any implied sarcasm aside, I will NEVER be led, nor be blind to the slaughter, and nothing you could ever say would cause me to give up trying to make the world around me better. For Everyone.
Our problems are all solvable…we just have to decide that they MUST be solved, or we will ALL fail. Humanity will lose, because a few craved power over human decency; accumulation of wealth over justice and mercy.
It’s no accident so many become confused and lost along the way, and so sadly tragic at the same time.
There IS hope. Times are dark for sure, and we all feel pretty helpless, and our leaders do nothing but make things worse. The thing is though, the true power in the World is in the people, not the leaders. The leaders can easily be forced into action by the people. The people can decide to end these dark times…and the leaders will be forced to follow.
“Every election is a peaceful act of revolution”
So, welcome to #TheRevolution. Please don’t kill yourself. Even a bad movie can have an amazing ending. Embrace change. Change will set you free.
…and vote. Vote for REAL change. Send a message this November. Vote out incumbent obstacles to change. #VoteIndependent #VoteProgressive #EndTwoPartyRule #Vote #Resist

On D-Day’s anniversary, Eisenhower reminds us of just war in action

History amazes me sometimes. Think about it…future president Eisenhower contemplating, prepared for failure on the eve of D-Day, to the point of handwriting a statement accepting all blame. Eisenhower kept the letter, even after the war was won. That’s humble and presidential as fuck.
Then I consider our current joke of a president, and his daily insults to the most honorable office in the nation, and I’m bent over, wretching in disgust. He is worse than an embarrassment to all of us, and must be stopped before the good name of America is tarnished beyond repair.
When will the politicians (on both sides) tire of his bullying and abuse of power? It’s time. Overdue. Come together, impeach this piece of shit, and retire the regime of fools as the accomplices and purjurors they are.

The best ideas die in the shower

I have written some great songs, and even solved many of the world’s problems in the shower. Of course, by the time I got dressed, whatever the songs or solutions I’d devised had obviously evaporated into steam, the traces of which collected on the mirror, as if to mock me behind my back, as I walk out of the bathroom with other things on my mind.

Carbon bubble to destroy trillions of dollars of global wealth and lead to mass unemployment, new research reveals
