... just because, ya know, TACOS!

T. = Trump

A. = Always

C. = Chickens

O.  = Out

Just a fact that after each and every "deal" Donald backs away because he knows he's defeated. 

... and finally, this little gem:

 

 

Gives "Taco Tuesday" a whole new meaning! 

Happy Birthday, Sir Paul!

 Happy Birthday, Sir Paul McCartney!

 

 

Wish you the best birthday ever! 

Secrete of Homeland Scrutiny, Krusty Gnome

This is the seal of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or DHS.

This is the Secretary/Director of the 
Department of Homeland Security, 
Kristi Noem, a.k.a. Krusty Gnome.

You may not recognize Gnome because she's 
not wearing one of her many cosplay outfits put together by 
her team of "hair, makeup and lighting."

Maybe one of these will refresh your memory:

As far as we know that's not the late Cricket next to Gnome.

Note the $60,000 Rolex, a necessary accessory

I think this one is a much more fitting 
picture of her "non-serious" mug:

"Krusty Gnome"

 

And yet for all of that bullshit "cosplay", we're expected to take her seriously. 

She doesn't take any of the harm she's doing seriously 
so tell us again why we should do so?  

Belated Birthday Greetings, Don-OLD (*raspberry sound*)

Failing health

Temporal Frontal Dementia

White Supremacists

Misogynist

Oh, and weeping, crying at his 79th birthday/military parade 

The "turn-out", attendance in Washington D.C. apparently was a "pretty average Saturday". 

And then there was the crazy security measures, because, ya know, Don-Old.

 Apparently there were tons of drones, too. I bet those things caught a bunch of empty, open spaces.

 

 

Ah, but wait. There's more:

 As if that's not enough, widdle Donnie is still fuming angry about the turn-out for HIS birthday celebration.  

 

 

 

I almost forgot the most important thing -- the price tag:

a measly, paltry bit of pocket change

$45,000,000   

only the thumb

...only the teeny, tiny fat orange grubby hand holds that delicate thumb:

 

 

 

And, yes, feel the love.

"Legacy Media" Has A Staffing Problem

“Legacy Media”, traditional broadcast news orgs, have a major staffing problem:

They continue to send the pink slip/fire/terminate/let go some of their most seasoned, long-time journalists.

Get rid of them rather than discuss the issue(s) or problem(s) internally. 

Former ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross, along with his team, reported on the issue of dangerous and recalled products being sold on Craigslist. In November 2014, they aired a segment on "20/20" called "Recall Roulette" that highlighted the problem. Ross attempted to interview Craig Newmark, but Newmark, who claimed to be retired and only a customer service representative at the time, refused to answer questions. The report described Craigslist as "morally irresponsible" for not implementing stricter filters to prevent the sale of recalled items. 

Brian Ross's departure from ABC News in 2018 was linked to a significant error in a report about Michael Flynn and his alleged contact with Russian officials during Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Ross initially reported, during a special report, that Flynn had been instructed by Trump to make contact with Russian officials during the campaign, which was later retracted and corrected. While Ross was suspended for four weeks without pay after the error, The New York Times reported that he and his longtime producer ultimately left ABC News. 

Here's a brief breakdown:

The Erroneous Report:

Ross reported, citing a source, that Trump had directed Michael Flynn to contact Russian  officials during his 2016 campaign. 

The Suspension:

ABC News issued a four-week suspension without pay to Ross after he made the error on the air, according to The New York Times and ABC News President Ben Sherwood apologized. 

The Departure:

While Ross was suspended, he and his producer, Rhonda Schwartz, subsequently left ABC News. 

Other Notable Errors:

Ross also had a previous error where he incorrectly linked the Aurora, Colorado shooting to the Tea Party. 

But he’s not alone.  More recently, they let go yet another one,  Senior National Correspondent, Terry Moran over a Twitter/X post:

Terry just recently completed an interview in the Oval Office with Trump.  One of the questions was in regards to the Maryland man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, his alleged "gang" affiliation and his subsequent Supreme Court order to return Mr. Garcia to the U.S. promptly.

ABC News’ solution, again, can him, fire him, send out a pink slip.

Now, I don’t know the “process” for what specifically, exactly gets or causes a journalist to be removed in 2025, but it seems very arbitrary, very random, and very hap-hazard. 

Kinda sloppy from the outside looking in.

It seems like a pretty simple solution, yet it’s doubtful ANY OF THESE NEWS ORGS will heed any of this: 

1)     Allow your journalists/reporters/correspondents to exercise their 1^st Amendment right to free speech.  Then, IF THERE’S AN ISSUE WITH IT,

2)     Have that person(s) add a disclaimer to it. You folks in the media are great at those.

"These comments reflect the views and opinions of the writer exclusively and not ABC News, The Walt Disney Company or any of its subsidiaries."

That seems like a pretty simple fix. 

But if that’s still not enough, how about some re-training or re-education or something more along those lines rather than just simply DUMPING VALUABLE ASSETS?
