Tuesday, January 20, 2025. More insanity on the op-ed pages of NYT, if Chump's trying to invade Greenland over not getting a Noble Peace Prize what will he do Thursday when the Academy Award nominees are announced and he's not up for any prize? All that and more.
Let's start with garbage in THE NEW YORK TIMES. Zaid Jilani, has a piece attacking the Democratic Party. He does his usual assault on facts to carry his attack out -- we're not linking to trash. Around 2020, people began assuming that Ziad was a Republican. He's not. He's a Socialist. DSA. And you won't find that at the bottom of the article. If they want to publish attacks on the Democratic Party, they have to identify the part of who is writing the piece. And were it a Libertarian or a Republican, they would. But they give the Socialist a past. He's not a Democrat He's a Socialist and that's why his past includes all that praise for Josh Hawley. Also goes to why he can't keep a job. When you're in a political closet, it makes it hard to honestly interact with others. The piece is garbage and shouldn't have run to begin with. If you can't grasp that, I hope you can at least grasp that DSA is and always has been at odds with the Democratic Party. So when you publish them, you owe it the reader to explain wat the writer is. Zaid is a Socialist and no one should publish his work ever again if they're unable to acknowledge that basic fact.
The second item is also an opinion piece. I normally ignore the opinion pieces because they're pretty much always worthless. I'm not referring to the editorials. This piece of garbage identifies the two writers:
Tessa E.S. Charlesworth is an assistant professor of management and organizations at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Eli J. Finkel is a professor of psychology at Northwestern University and a director of the Litowitz Center for Enlightened Disagreement.
I do so love when the social sciences bring in someone who's an expert and professor in management. That was sarcasm.
Two idiots thought it might be a better time for gays -- I'm assuming gay men, they just say "gay" over and over. But this is how stupid they are: Six episodes. They're starting out with a premsie that it must be a great day to be gay man based on the success of HEATED RIVALRY.
Are they truly that stupid? Probably not. They're desperate for clicks so they mention a show that many are writing about currently and pretend like they've done something. They've done click bait. They never explore HEATED RIVARLY (which Ava and I have praised at least twie THIRD) the series. They're just two little whores trying to get their bad writing published and maybe including HEATED RIVALRY will help?
So by the indicators of polling that one of them has been doing -- shoddy polling, let's be clear, the second portion of it requires interpretation and judgement on the part of the pollster. But that's what you get when you move management into social sciences.
What they conclude is that strides in acceptance for gay men are vanishing and will soon be gone. The data doesn't really back that up. The date shows a trending which our two idiots are too dumb to grasp and that trending is when you've got an administration that attacks everyone, it emboldens people to not feel constrained so they express their hatred out right and don't hide it or sweeten it up.
At one point, in sort of a sotto voice, they acknowledge that their 'research' and 'findings would apply to all sub groups in American society -- including those who are overweight.
The research doesn't back up their conclusions. They have produced junk science at its worst.
The most anyone can say from their 'research' is that the influence of hate merchants does have an impact. Nothing they provide demonstrates a true shift as opposed to just a bunch of whiners (MAGA) who are already imploding on themselves.
Again, I don't read the garbage that is NYT's op-ed pages. I saw the titles this morning and thought, "Oh, they just wrote bad titles. Surely the two pieces themselves are not this bad." We got junk science and a Socialist who hates Black people (he was part of the DSA attack on Adolph Reed).
Let's go to Ben and MEIDASTOUCH NEWS.
President Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a text message he sent to Norway’s prime minister over the weekend.
Jonas Gahr Store, Norway’s leader, received the text message on Sunday, an official in the prime minister’s office said on Monday.
“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Mr. Trump wrote in the message, which was first published by PBS.
Mr. Trump also questioned Denmark’s claim to Greenland, saying, “There are no written documents,” and adding, “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!”
This is where you move from talk about impeachment to talk about following the 25th Amendment and remove Chump from office due to his obvious mental decline and being a threat and to this country. See Ruth's " Chump is a Make A Wish child but doesn't realize it" and Marcias "Remove Chump from office" for more on these topics.
Abd see , , ,
No, don't see. I'm not interested in one MS NOW video. One specific one. Of the host last night talking about Greenland and alarmed by all that's happening. It's not even a full week since that host told viewers Greenland wasn't a real story, it was a distraction and they were wasting time by following it as though it were a real story.
Okay, the remarks never should have been made to begin with.
Maybe MS NOW needs to create a little cubby hole where hosts can go to get their viewer blaming out of their system before they go on air?
But if you said that on air -- and he did -- don't come back the following week insisting Greenland is important unless you have the guts to say, "Hey, folks, I got it wrong."
Here are some videos -- some from MS NOW -- worthy of your attention if Greenland is of interest to you.
Next up a press release from Senator Ron Wyden's office that I missed unti I checked the spam folder this morning:
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden said today he is joining legislation that would ban sitting presidents from putting their names on federal buildings while in office.
The bill follows December’s announcement that the State Department is renaming the U.S. Institute of Peace after Donald Trump. Two weeks later, Trump’s appointees to the board of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts voted to add his name to the website and the front of the building. Both decisions violated existing federal laws.
“Donald Trump is more focused on putting his name on buildings than he is on helping families in Oregon and across the country afford food, housing, or health care,” Wyden said. “This legislation will help ensure that presidents can’t abuse the Oval Office or taxpayer dollars with shameless vanity projects while depriving families of the help they need.”
The Stop Executive Renaming for Vanity and Ego (SERVE) Act would:
- Prohibit the naming or renaming of any federal building, land, or other asset in the name of a sitting president;
- Prohibit the use of federal funds to do so; and
- Ensure this applies retroactively to the Kennedy Center and Institute of Peace by returning any federal assets named for the current sitting president to the name given under United States Code.
The SERVE Act was introduced by Senators Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Angela Alsobrooks D-Md. In addition to Wyden, this bill was cosponsored by Senators Cory Booker D-N.J., Adam Schiff D-Calif., and Chuck Schumer D-N.Y.
The text of the bill is here.
And let's wind down with this from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse' office
Department of Justice filed a bogus disciplinary complaint against Chief Judge Boasberg in July as part of pressure campaign targeting judges who have ruled against Trump administration
Washington, D.C. – Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Courts Subcommittee, sent a letter yesterday to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking her to disclose, as soon as possible, the result of the Department of Justice’s disciplinary complaint against Judge James Boasberg, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Chief Judge Boasberg, a distinguished federal judge who has found the Trump administration in violation of federal law in several high-profile cases, has been the target of a coordinated campaign of threats by the MAGA movement and the Trump administration. These threats appear intended to intimidate Chief Judge Boasberg from examining potential contempt of court by the MAGA Department of Justice. Last week, Federal Courts Subcommittee Chairman Ted Cruz (R-TX) held a hearingcalling for the impeachment of Chief Judge Boasberg, during which allegations from the complaint were amplified.
“Your Department of Justice filed a disciplinary complaint against Chief Judge James Boasberg on July 28, 2025. As you know, I believe that complaint was unfounded and without merit. It appears to be part of a campaign to harass and threaten Chief Judge Boasberg as he investigates whether your Department committed contempt of court and requires your team to answer questions under oath versus on X,”Whitehouse wrote to the Attorney General in the new letter.
“It is my understanding that the resolution of a disciplinary complaint such as yours is not released publicly until any reconsideration request is final, but it is released to the complainant after an initial decision is made. I would therefore request that you disclose the results of your disciplinary complaint as soon as those results are disclosed to you,” continued Whitehouse.
“Should the result of your complaint be its dismissal, or a finding of no misconduct, then continued use of your complaint as a rhetorical weapon to bring pressure against a federal judge would be both improper and unfounded,” added the Senator.
In July 2025, the Justice Department filed a complaint against Chief Judge Boasberg alleging that, at the Judicial Conference’s March 2025 meeting, Chief Judge Boasberg privately conveyed to the Judicial Conference his colleagues’ concerns that the Trump Administration might defy court orders. In April 2025, Chief Judge Boasberg initiated contempt proceedings into the Justice Department’s potential defiance of court orders in J.G.G. v. Trump. Chief Judge Boasberg found probable cause that the Trump Administration had committed criminal contempt of court by willfully disobeying his court order to immediately halt unlawful deportations. Several credible whistleblower complaints have since alleged that Emil Bove, the then-Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, instructed Justice Department attorneys to be prepared to tell courts—including in the J.G.G. case—“f*** you” if they ruled against the government.
Shortly after Chief Judge Boasberg initiated contempt proceedings, Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both of whom were appointed by President Donald Trump, suspended the contempt proceedings over a dissent by a third judge on the panel. The two Trump-appointed judges stalled the contempt proceeding for over three months, just enough time for Senate Republicans to confirm Emil Bove to serve as a United States Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit on a 50-49 vote, without any judicial record of his possible contempt of court. After the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, Judge Rao and Judge Justin Walker, another Trump appointee, further stalled the contempt proceeding in a ruling last month.
Whitehouse has repeatedly spotlighted this bizarre series of events involving the MAGA Department of Justice, Trump-appointed judges, and Republicans in Congress targeting Chief Judge Boasberg. In July, Whitehouse and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) wrote a letter to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, urging him to look into the extraordinarily long administrative stay issued by the two Trump-appointed judges blocking the investigation of Emil Bove and other Department of Justice lawyers’ potential contempt of court. Whitehouse sent a similar letter to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts alerting him to the troubling series of events.
Whitehouse, Blumenthal, and Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) also filed a FOIA request to the Department of Justice demanding records and communications between the Department of Justice, the Trump-appointed judges, and their staff related to the delay of Chief Judge Boasberg’s contempt of court proceedings.
The text of the letter is below and a PDF is available here.
January 12, 2026
The Honorable Pam Bondi
Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20530
Dear Attorney General Bondi:
Your Department of Justice filed a disciplinary complaint against Chief Judge James Boasberg on July 28, 2025. As you know, I believe that complaint was unfounded and without merit. It appears to be part of a campaign to harass and threaten Chief Judge Boasberg as he investigates whether your Department committed contempt of court and requires your team to answer questions under oath versus on X.
Last week, at a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing that I contend was another part of that pressure campaign, a member of the Subcommittee read long portions of your complaint into the record, as if it were true or meritorious.
It is my understanding that the resolution of a disciplinary complaint such as yours is not released publicly until any reconsideration request is final, but it is released to the complainant after an initial decision is made. I would therefore request that you disclose the results of your disciplinary complaint as soon as those results are disclosed to you.
Should the result of your complaint be its dismissal, or a finding of no misconduct, then continued use of your complaint as a rhetorical weapon to bring pressure against a federal judge would be both improper and unfounded. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that. Therefore, since clarification of the results of your complaint once you know them would be in the public interest, I request that you disclose them as soon as you know.
Sincerely,
Press Contact
