The real crooks aren't in prison. They all seem to be congregated at the White House (or, as my friend Tom calls it, "Whitey's House). All are hypocrites, liars, manipulative, disgustingly ass-kissing, racist, misogynistic, power hungry, sociopathic, and ugly in so many ways. Empathy requires a more evolved human, brainpower, and an actual heart. Keep doing the amazing work, Aaron. But get some sleep, for goodness sake!!

The most crooked and corrupt White House in history. No question.

While we're at it as a sort of a national diuretic, or perhaps national appetite suppressant, maybe the president will go golfing in shorts.

Please pass on your knowledge. I’d love to know how it originated

Janice Darling, here is an inadequate description until I can find what I need to share. Thank you for asking.

On the Michael Cohen substack, a reader answered my question with a very long and beautiful explanation, stemming from a technique of a particular ice hockey player, who’s name I cannot think of at the moment, although I am embarrassed to say that since I loved that whole package of information so much. I will see if I can find it and try to paste it here. The credit goes to the person who posted it and did a search plus applied AI help.

It is long, had cited sources, each of which I watched,, and even includes one site of the man’s beautiful funeral with his son as the outstanding speaker. The hockey player was gentle, fair, and kind., yet on the hockey ice, he could be ferocious as he would grab an opponents hockey stick and put his elbows up not only for his own protection, but to bump the opponent. Elbows up became the byword in Canada, meaning to keep your elbows up and fight. I’m sure I did not say that very well, so I will try to find yhstvreply and see if I can paste it here somehow.

I do recommend Michael Cohen’s sub stack. Many of the subscribers are from Canada and support us. Michael has information that I don’t always find other places. I am vouching for his ideas and his sincerity which I totally appreciate. He writes beautifully, but at times he includes I do not use. That doesn’t seem to bother some people, but I especially appreciate that he knows the person who is causing a lot of havoc within our country and beyond, and I admire the way Michael stands up for us and tells everything as he sees it. So “Elbows up” for us, as kindly recommended by the kind hockey fans in Canada, who support us. It is terrible that I cannot think of the name right now, but you’ll see when I can find and share the information I described on here.

Janice, although I am unable to find what I’m looking for on my phone tonight, I did a search and found that the name is Gordie Howe. I am including a site that shows photographs from his eulogy, but I don’t think it is the same site that had the entirety of it. It was so beautiful. I believe it is enough to lead you to more information if you would like to see it. Here is the site I found tonight.

Janice, if you look at the substack I mentioned, please know that I stopped watching the episode tonight because of the language. I was very interested in findings he shared about learning of at least one group of immigrants, who support one person because they do not accept other immigrants. To me that was shocking news because I believe we all should support each other, whether our families arrived pre-Jamestown, pre-American Revolution, during the Irish Famine, or any other time, early or since. We are of the human race and residents of the Earth. Everybody should care about everybody yet not tolerate cruelty or hatred.

Because I had suggested that program for the good of it, I did not want you to think I accept some things I do not.

I strongly appreciate Aaron’s programs because he is honest, intelligent, clean mouthed, organized, dedicated, and outstanding at what he does.

There are other admirable substacks I appreciate. Heather Cox Riichardsin is always admirable, eye-opening, factual, and lists sources. Jen Rubin and Norm Isen on the Contrarian led me to Substack when she left the Washington Post. Robert Reich and Jack Hopkins are definite ones to appreciate, and Scott Dworkin is uplifting. These are regulars for me. It is hard to keep up with everyone, but Aaron’s is the newest one to me, and I consider it a top priority. To me, clean language is highly expected and appreciated. As a result, there are some sites I visit less often, yet many people care and are presenting to support our shared concerns in their own ways and from different angles. This is quite a tangent, yet I felt I should share.

In regards to Gaza: who the hell does the Dumpster Fire think he is to literally take a Country/State because HE thinks it's a profitable entity??

Have fun Aaron! Thanks for all you do.

Now for next week! Please dig into what went on in Los Vegas on Aug 8 th where an FBI sting caught a big fish (Israeli security big wig) and his entourage (I guess) trying to solicit sex from a minor girl (who was really an under cover agent). He paid $10,000 in bail & was allowed to scurry back to Israel. The Left Hook is covering it but no other news media. This is a huge summer scandal & Democrats should be reporting about it not to mention all the Sub stacks but all we are hearing is crickets. Please let us know what you find out about this. Crickets from the White House too!
