"..If you agree murder is bad, but you don't view insurance corporations denying critical medicine to people knowing full well they will die as a result, as a form of murder, then you don't in fact believe murder is bad. You believe rich people should be able to kill poor people and you should learn to be honest with yourself.."

"..Wray's decision to quit as FBI director is shameful, gutless, and damaging to the rule of law. It's another sad example of "obeying in advance," as James Fallows explains.

"..Just weeks ago, Donald was saying, “They call it groceries! Bacon, lettuce, tomato. All the everything is so much higher than it ever was. And we’re going to bring that down, and we’re going to do it very simply.”

Since this story was teed up so perfectly, I actually expected the Press to cover it properly. Wow, was I wrong.

Most outlets just repeated Trump’s garbage about it being “very hard” to lower prices. There were a handful that called it “walking back a pledge,” and only a couple opinion pieces that actually said Trump lied. Which he did.

But the two absolute worst were Fox “News” and CNN. Fox basically ignored the whole thing as if it didn’t happen. And CNN decided to go with this ridiculous headline: “Trump just said groceries will be more affordable ‘very soon.’ He’s also said that it might be very hard to achieve.” Beyond ridiculous.

During the campaign, the Press hammered President Biden nonstop over the price of groceries, and constantly repeated Trump’s propaganda. Now, we all have to suffer the consequences of their failures.

And I can guarantee maga will be silent, when their eggs get much more expensive.."

My brother that died last Summer lived in Texas for 25 years. He lived in both Houston, Dallas and Saint Antonio mostly. He told me there is a huge population of I think Vietnamese fisherman there. Anyway he was friends with one of them. Every year when fishing season started my brother would get a license and his friend would not. He said water should be free. My brother said the cops were so used to him they would arrest him once a season for show.

I got by without a fishing license for years then realized that the fees finance stocking and such that help make the fishing better. I could still sneak by I imagine, we had a 3 year game warden blitz in the area a few years ago, several times I got checked at the same spot 3 times a day. But I don't think they caught many as they were lazy about it and only patrolled very easily accessible spots. The kind of public places only folks with a license fish. 

Anywho, the blitz ended and we are back to only rarely seeing a GW anywhere but local lakes where they have one stationed. I don't bother to carry my license when I fish the river behind my house unless I plan to stay for a long time and carry down a lot of gear as I could see them approach literally a mile away and other than a holiday weekends, they only boat by maybe 3 times a year.
