    This brings to mind something that Vicki said…about Putin needing a base in Syria…and if that puzzle was fixed…he would abandon Assad….

    My city is reeling under once in a century (literally. see #chennaifloods and #chennairains). Whole day of was spent organizing rescue of my own brother, his brother-in-law and my niece’s UK friend and her parents who were stranded in different places. All brought home/hotel safely. #missionaccomplished

    Our First Lady is truly an amazing speaker and her presence phenomenal. We’re so fortunate.
    Just heard Josh Earnest say:
    GOP “is whistling past the graveyard of a Government Shutdown” and “larding the budget up with Ideological riders”, earmarks to benefit special interests, undermine Wall Street Reform, undermine PBO’s Clean Power Plan, limit health care access.
    Josh: “They can go and ask former Speaker John Boehner how well that worked”.
    The following article directly relates to the above:
    Please read “Inside Groundswell….the Memos of the New Right-Wing Strategy Group Planning a “30 Front War”:
    “a group of prominent conservatives in Washington—including the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and journalists from Breitbart News and the Washington Examiner—has been meeting privately since early this year to concoct talking points, coordinate messaging, and hatch plans for “a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation.”

      as if the entire major “news” stations and papers isn’t enough for them to spread the lies, they feel the need to go even further. someone posted a link here a couple days ago showing that sunday’s “news” shows were 100% republican guests. not one planned parenthood spokesperson. not one democrat. yet john mccain and lindsay graham were on for the 1000th time despite being proven wrong by history over and over. that’s still not enough for these truly evil propagandists. gotta have more!

        I did something wrong.. if so how?
        We all know that ALEC, KOCH and other con groups have all kinds of plans to disrupt and obstruct President Obama’s agenda.
        Most of us know about the 15 GOP seditionists including Paul Ryan, who met on Inauguration day of January 2009.
        I prefaced the 2013 link with GOP’s most recent budget games.
        Groundswell is the organization which did more than any other to get the faux Planned Parenthood videos sent out widely.

      Ah, the ‘group of prominent (1%) conservatives’, not a single one of whom is a duly elected member of our government.

    we can assume we’ll get some truly accurate reporting from this group. refreshing.

      Cannot believe what has happened to this country (as GOP/MSM stoke fears about Syrian families try to escape unimaginable hardship).

        Yep. THat’s southern California about 50 miles from LA.

      • December 2, 2025 at 2:40 pm

        No problem Nena. Hoping it’s the usual incorrect information you get when one of these stories breaks, reading wild speculations, eg there are 3 shooters which means it must be ISIL. :roll: We’ll see, but whatever it is, sounds horrific.

        Angela from Bloomsberg News just asked Josh Earnest about this shooting, but of course the reports began after daily WHPB.

        San Bernardino is now a hub for RWNJ, SoCal Inland Empire where hate and fear loom large.

        No doubt inspired by the despicable #ColoradoSprings shooting, Google tells me that the Inland Resource Center “Inland Regional Center offers sex education classes for individuals with a developmental disability, but this is not commonplace.”

    Of course, early days, can’t rely on initial reports, but Fox 11 reports police looking for 3 white men in military gear. Again, just an initial report.

    • December 2, 2025 at 2:43 pm

      Heard that LL, sounded scary, although I heard someone else say they might be SWAT guys.

      Another mass shooting. How long will we put up with this? As long as people value their second rights, more then they value life. As long as pieces of crap politicians is bought and paid for by the NRA.

    Oh, so this must be @gregpinelo’s source.

    Also this (recall that except for Columbine and the Las Vegas police shooting (done by #BundyRanch RWNJ bonnie and clyde wannabes, most mass shootings have been “lone wolves.”

    Another horrific shooting multiple casualty situation. Never ending bloodshed.

    No other country on earth encourages civilians arming themselves with military weapons. We are “exceptional” all right.

    Until we vote OUT every NRA supporter this carnage will continue.
