TCN Morning Note: The End Of John Fetterman?

The End of John Fetterman?

*** begin quote ***

A new Wall Street Journal report published Thursday might mark the official death of Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, a pro-Israel ogre who has cast a spell on far too many Republicans and conservatives by appearing on Fox News praising the only policy overlap between him and President Trump: WAR.

The WSJ revealed several damning text exchanges between Fetterman and his staffers.

For starters, the guy barely worked. Fetterman devised a system with his staffers to work as little as possible, according to the WSJ. During hearings, he sent a staffer to make sure he was seen by the Senate Clerk, then he would dip out early. He was marked present for 26 out of 31 full hearings of his assigned committees, but in 20 of them he didn’t even say a word, the WSJ reported.

Sounds like a shirker, a slacker, an image without substance, and a grifter all at once. 

Very disappointing.  

I too, thought that the D’s had finally found someone of substance that was not a crazy loon.  I could even look past his manner of dress (i.e., casual slob).  He almost had everyone fooled.

Argh!

Send him off to the “no zip” sorting bin of future historical odd-balls before he does any real damage.  

p.s., sitting silent in a committee meeting isn’t the worst sin; skipping out on disabled vets and deceased firefighters is unforgivable.  You go even if you carry a barf bag and shit your pants.  After all Joe did it.

Argh! Argh! Sigh!

Own a gun? Go to church? Do yoga? AI can find out in seconds.

  • A series of demos on the Hill has both Democrats and Republicans alarmed about artificial intelligence’s ability to plumb commercial databases for information on Americans.

Republicans and Democrats across Capitol Hill are getting a glimpse of artificial intelligence’s latest power: its ability to churn out instant dossiers filled with details about ordinary Americans, from a gun store owner’s leaked email passwords to a church member’s yoga workouts to people’s visits to abortion clinics.

Hard not to read this article and NOT be concerned.  

With all the Karens and other crazies out there that seem to think killing people is “socially acceptable”, everyone needs to be concerned.

Hell, I won’t even react to “driving bullies” on the road.  Who knows what will be the result?

Argh!

p.s., while POLITICO is a left-leaning progressive site, in this case, I think they have done a great job “nailing this to the politician’s office door”.  Well done!

Important to keep an open mind and open ears even to those who you assume are just always “wrong”.

HEALTH: Don’t become complacent about pesticides?

An Idyllic Enclave in California, and a Mysterious Cancer Problem

LADERA RANCH, Calif.—In 2019, Kara Bell began firing off a series of emails to her homeowners association, hoping to find out what kind of herbicides gardeners were using on the many sports fields, pocket parks, and schools that pepper the hillside community of Ladera Ranch, a private enclave in the southeastern corner of unincorporated Orange County.

Hard to imagine being lulled to “sleep” only to be “awakened” by being in a “cancer cluster”.  Can’t imaging the reaction of husbands, fathers, mothers, parents, and just plain old ordinary folks.  Time to get out the pitchforks and torches.  In this case, there is a litany of “bad guys” —  the landscaping company, the HOA, the Gooferment’s Gooferment Skrules (i.e., they should be very very interested in ANY chemical used around on their grounds and especially sports fields), and let’s not forget the “Skrule Board” of highly paid politicians and bureaucrats, the many City, County, State, and Federal “regulators”.  Argh!   I suggest that all “Skrule Board” meeting be held in and on the freshly spray “sports” fields; wonder if the politicians and bureaucrats would be then very interested in what they were sitting on —  other than their own arses!

Argh!
