Some Good Economic News, For a Change

One month does not a recovery make, but this chart sure looks better than it did last month:


I don't think it would hurt to point out that our nation's real job collapse started at the beginning of 2008, as Bush Administration Conservative economic policy had its inevitable effect, and bottomed out in March, 2009, a mere 3 months after the adults in the country (that would be Obama and the Democrats) took over.  Since then, there has been virtually continuous progress.  The painful slowness of that progress is due to two factors:  First, the traitorous Republicans have done everything they could to see to it that the American people suffer as much as possible, so that they could make the maximum partisan gain out of our distress.  Second, the damage done by the Bush (and Reagan) administrations was far more than anyone wants to admit.

But here we are, with the Republican party back in a position to loot our economy and leave us even worse off.  What a world.

Well that, or they will claim credit for it.

Sad to say, they will probably do both- simultaneously attack Obama for things being terrible and pat themselves on the back for how great things are.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
