So glad Evan nailed the phony Graham Platner who is exactly the rich brat he rails against! He thinks that Mainers are too dumb to see through him - some are, but the real men who log and lobster and actually cultivate oyster farms are not.
Good point. Maine’s population is older white very blue collar. They are angry with how Maine has fallen under Mills and the takeover of wealthy outsiders now owning much of their coast and homeland. They are scared for their children and their grandchildren, those I talk to do and will vote.
A very good livestream, Batya! The SPLC once did genuinely good work. But that was thirty years ago. Now it’s obvious they are all about getting donations and lining their pockets and nothing else. They were giving money to the very people their supposed to be fighting so they could stay in business. President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu absolutely did the right thing by doing the strikes in Iran in Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion. There is no good reason to support these strikes. Do we want our children and Israeli children facing down a nuclear armed parish state run by religious fanatics? Do we want them to continue to fund Islamist groups all across the region? Do we want to just let them continue to slaughter peaceful protesters? Do we to let them continue their gender apartheid? The answer to all of the above is no.
It’s hilarious to see the Democrats backing an ex-Nazi like Graham Platner and to see him a rich kid, railing against the rich. People who vote for him in Maine are a moral embarrassment! Israel having the lowest combatant to civilian killed ratio in the history of warfare especially in the very difficult situation they were in in Gaza, is quite an impressive achievement! Your piece on the objectification of men in film and TV was excellent! You made such a great point! The DOGE saved taxpayers fifty billion dollars and did so much good. But it didn’t go far enough and didn’t stay around long enough. It was also a missed opportunity not to cut corporate welfare and not auditing the Pentagon. If J.D. Vance follows Donald Trump, I hope he’ll bring the DOGE back and expand its scope. I was happy to hear President Trump was pulling 5,000 troops from Germany. We don’t need that many soldiers over there. The Germans needs to have a strong military to defend themselves. They need to stop depending on the United States to protect them.
Batya, wrong thread, but wanted to let you know- Andrew Fox was wrong. You were right.🪬 👍🏻 Run for office, get a specially created position in the Trump admin. Ditto Jillian Michaels. Jeffery Mead, Colema Hughes and winston Marshal .. and Xavaier du Rousseau. You rock!
Hmmm not sure what you are implying....I just meant that DOGE seemed to be highly focused on redundancies in multiple government programs that added up to a lot of wasteful spending....As for the question of Did DOGE do what it was advertised as?? I don't really know as it got all jumbled up in the Elon vs. Trump soap opera.
I might be in the minority, but when I signed up for Batya’s Substack, I thought I would be reading some fine articles. I did not sign up with the idea that I would be watching videos all the time. It seems to me the majority of what she is posting is videos. I am going to have to cancel and it’s disappointing because I enjoy her so much.
I just signed up. I don't really care for the JLo video so I didn't watch it. But I love Batya's take on political matters. I have a female Jewish friend who hates Trump. I'm trying to get her to listen to Batya.

Yeah, but do they vote?

Fraud is at mostly, more easily found at the local level. You don't get that level of detail at federal level.
Nick Shirley had help from people inside the California government where to look
Trump has never made the case clearly for why we needed to have this war.
No presidential address to the nation, even if he brought on experts to explain the details and only made open/close argument.
The media has established the narrative 4 public not Trump

I think DOGE looked more at process.....Old computer technology/ filing etc...
K. G. I think more high of the Doge gang than you. I don’t have actual evidence. Do you?

K.G., interesting take on Doge. I didn’t get that from your first post.
I apologize to all my readers, apparently just you and Batya, for using the adjective, high, instead of the adverb, highly. I hope it was a typo.
All the best

it must smell terrible.
We are both “white college liberals” who continued to watch, look and listen!
We’ve evolved.
Keep talking!!!!

No sequels likely planned for any of these movies. Helen Mirren and Judi Dench can only be spread so far. 😂
