[DailyFetched] The first episode, released on Wednesday, features her older brother, Craig Robinson, where they recalled their "diverse and changing neighborhood" and guidance from their late parents, Marian Shields Robinson and Fraser C. Robinson III.
However, the show is failing to connect with viewers.
The show's first three episodes failed to clear 20,000 views on YouTube's disastrous start for a former first lady who even has big tech propping her up.
------------------------------------------ The less than 20k is the average. The first podcast hit about 40k, the second and third were much less. The low viewership is to be compared to the much higher viewership she had back in 2020, although that was for just one podcast and also, it was in the pioneering stage of podcasts. Also she shares the screen with her brother in the 2025 podcasts which may offput some women Continued on Page 47

Perhaps she can do a podcast with Meghan "Sussex"? The vacuity, narcissism, and hubris would be outstanding

[X] I’ve made no secret of the absurdity (and the hypocrisy, in my opinion) of opposing fossil fuel production in this country, while supporting the policies that allow us to import those very same fossil fuels from other places. In fact, I’ve described those policies the "height of duplicity," and the epitome of a "Not-In-My-Backyard.
I still stand by that criticism, mostly. I say "mostly," because I’ve just learned that we do the exact same thing with lumber, to a degree that's no less befuddling. Our reliance on wood is extraordinary, and we’re blessed to live in a country with over 800 million acres of forest. That’s literally a third of America, covered in trees. Unfortunately, we've decimated out timber industry. Today, we act as if forest land and timber reserves are in short supply. They are not. In fact, according to Mike Albrecht, President of The American Loggers Council, our forests are burning and rotting at record levels, due to decades of mismanagement, and we are, at the same time, squandering one of our most valuable resources.
Obviously, some people will doubt this claim, but one thing is indisputable: In spite of our unprecedented abundance, America imports more wood products than any other nation. In other words, we could easily be "wood independent," just as we could easily be "energy independent." And yet, we choose not to. We choose instead, to rely on other countries to provide us with the raw materials we need.
The question is why, and I suspect the answer will not sit well with everyone.

Going to the big box hardware store I was noticing plywood marked "PRODUCT OF FINLAND". Finland? Why are we importing bulk construction plywood all the way from Finland? ...Oh, treehugging Greens pushing NIMBY silliness.

If Newsom was to allow a bit of tree harvesting in California, it just might reduce the frequency and severity of our wild fires.

RICHMOND CO. So far has collected 4.8 million cubic yards of trees due Hurricsne Helene. There is no shortage of wood for lumber just using this area as a resource.

A lot of the problems harvesting timber are applications of the regulation regime. Getting permits for cutting, getting permits for road construction in forests, approval of remediation plans, etc. are a big part of the problem.

getting permits for road construction in forests,
Easy, just use some buzz words in the application, like COP30, and they will think you are one of them, which could be useful if you end up on a Director's Board.

The Tahoe bowl had drought/bug infestations that led to clearly observed "dead" areas of trees around 5-10 years ago. The "Enviros" tried to stop all haulout of diseased/dead trees to avoid temp roads being cut in. Short story: Roads cut, harvested dead trees and the basin looks healthy

[IsraelTimes] The prestigious Johns Hopkins University says it is being forced to lay off more than 2,000 employees in the aftermath of the Trump administration’s massive reduction in foreign aid funding.
The poor darlings. Cut off from government monies that were being improperly spent… at best. Enjoy your slimming diet as you are right-sized, guys.
“This is a difficult day for our entire community. The termination of more than $800 million in USAID funding is now forcing us to wind down critical work here in Baltimore and internationally,” the school — a top research institute barely an hour’s drive from the US capital — says in a statement.

I am happy they are winding down strong>internationally, work using US Taxpayer $$$$. Maybe the strong>international will now pay for what it gets free, at our expense.
Out of curiosity, were they charging for the services paid for by the US Taxpayers?

Don’t have to fire tenured faculty when you get rid of faculty positions, Grom, and then shut down the department. Over the past decade, my sister has twice been the last man standing after the university retrenched. This May when she turns out the lights and locks up, she’ll leave academia, too — and she teaches computer programming, not the fluff courses we all love to mock.

If you have no pay for classes to indoctrinate teach, grants to whore, facilities to use, or access to internal communications...you are effectively fired

We need to face the fact that we're not all cut out for college. It's for people whose families can afford to support them while they stay in school until their mid-20s and for people who have an aptitude for science, technology, engineering and math. If you're not one of those people you'd be better off going directly into a trade of some sort.

Bypass college. Bypass frickin high school. Get into an apprenticeship program to be a plumber. You'll be making big bucks and laughing at all your friends who are still studying French literature at the university.

John Hopkins has an endowment fund of over 13 Billion dollars. But they don't want to dip into their own pocket to pay their employees - they want someone else to pay for their own staff.
[GEO.TV] A US federal judge has ordered six government agencies to reinstate thousands of recently sacked workers, ruling that the mass dismissals carried out under President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th and 47th President of the United States... 's administration were improperly enforced.
The ruling by US District Judge William Alsup during a hearing in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... was the most significant blow yet to the effort by Trump and top adviser Elon Musk to drastically shrink the federal bureaucracy. Government agencies face a Thursday deadline to submit plans for a second wave of mass redundancies and to slash their budgets.
Alsup's ruling applies to probationary employees at the US Department of Defence, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and the Treasury Department.
The judge said the US Office of Personnel Management, the human resources department for federal agencies, had improperly ordered those agencies to sack workers en masse even though it lacked the power to do so.
''It is a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that's a lie,'' said Alsup, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is... , a Democrat.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a statement, said Alsup lacked the power to issue the ruling and that the administration would "immediately fight back."
''The President has the authority to exercise the power of the entire executive branch — singular district court judges cannot abuse the power of the entire judiciary to thwart the President's agenda," Leavitt said.

" I'm getting tire of all those judges trying to usurp he authority and powers of he POTUS." 'getting tired'?? I was disgusted with the insanity of the federal judiciary since early 2017. Next to nothing done about this from then to now.

The problem with the judiciary is the same problem with any government that relies upon 'the right people'. There are no 'right people'. Much of the power and purview the American judiciary exercises are powers they granted themselves, not by Congress. It has devolved into a priesthood that restricts any citizen, as those who fill Congress or the President, from attaining. You must go to the right schools, get the right degree, be anointed by the judicial gate keepers of whom are all members of the caste. That they sit for life is an anathema to very nature of a republic no different than life long bureaucrats (ie. Fauci).
#8
Fed workers will restart their jobs only to rehired a couple weeks later. This will go on and on until the supreme court steps in and reminds the judge that he is not the president.

The issue with lower courts making nationwide rulings will continue until Barrett or Roberts agrees to stop the abuse. Alternatively, Kagan and Sotomayer could step down for health reasons.

[X] Senator John Fetterman has indicated his intention to vote in favor of the GOP's continuing resolution (CR) to prevent a government shutdown. This move has sparked a significant reaction within his party, with some Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... viewing it as a departure from expected party lines, while others see it as a pragmatic decision to avoid economic turmoil. The debate around this decision reflects internal party dynamics and the broader implications for government stability.

Fetterman is demonstrating that he's one of the last few liberals left in what is now a commie kleptocracy party. The rest have gone RINO joining the country club GOPe.

If Fetterman votes for the CR, then it is no longer just talk.

He still votes with the Dems.
Senator Fetterman is an old-fashioned liberal Democrat, not a rabid Progressive. Some issues he’ll vote with the Republicans on, others with the Democrats.

Much of Chuck’s power was derived from his ability to bribe McConnell to provide the required GOP votes to thwart a conservative agenda. That vehicle brake down like an 87 Nissan Sentra on the Cross Bronx Expressway. Musk will have it on blocks minus all four hubs and the catalytic converter over the course of the next several election cycles.

Gotta wonder if somebody from DoJ is investigating old Chuck. Some of the threats he's made against POTUS (seven ways to Sunday) and SCOTUS (reap the whirlwind) just might be actionable. Then again, you never know what other dirt they might have on this scumbag.

In May, the DSA debated whether to endorse Ocasio-Cortez. Some members argued that she was more committed to the Democratic Party and that her positions on Palestine had become weaker.[128] On June 23, the DSA National Political Committee (NPC) voted to endorse her so long as she fulfilled its list of demands, most concerning Palestine. The New York City chapter, which endorsed her, rejected the deal. On July 10, the NPC withdrew its endorsement of Ocasio-Cortez. It mainly cited a panel she held with Jewish leaders that supposedly conflated antisemitism with anti-Zionism. Other concerns included her support for a resolution that characterized denial of Israel's right to exist as antisemitism and her support of the Iron Dome defense system.[129][130][131]
Investment banker Marty Dolan, a moderate Democrat, ran against Ocasio-Cortez in the primary. Ocasio-Cortez won overwhelmingly.[132]
Ocasio-Cortez again easily won the general election against Forte.[133] Notably, some voters in her district split their tickets, voting for Ocasio-Cortez and for Trump in the presidential election.[134] Harris won 65% of the district's vote and Trump 33%, an increase from 2020. A political analyst said this was because both Trump and Ocasio-Cortez "were leading with the message of working-class pocketbook issues".[135] Ocasio-Cortez asked those who split their tickets why they did so; some said that they both cared about the working class and were "less establishment", while others cited the Israel-Hamas war and the economy.[136]
