Ryan Coogler's Michael B. Jordan-starring vampire flick is off to a solid start, especially for an original, R-rated chiller. Now we just hope that it's not frontloaded and that the good buzz entices the unconverted.
Is Xabi Alonso still worth the hype? A pretty hot take from me on the latest Gegenpressing podcast:

Whilst PSG (1st) have already wrapped up the title, they’ll be hoping to achieve an unprecedented ‘invincibles’ season. A relatively comfortable set of fixtures await, but a potential Champions League semi-final could prove to be a distraction. 🏆
Who will finish on the podium with PSG is still very much undecided. Only 5 points separate 2nd from 7th & it’s becoming increasingly difficult to predict wh…

Schedule F was created by EO 13957, and Biden killed it with EO14003, the first executive action of his administration. However Schedule F was used to reclassify the positions tha Trump's appointees would occupy, and vacate them so that his appointees could take their place. Thus DOJ, DHS, NSA, DOD are chock full of Trump appointees now protected civil servants.
My complaint with Biden, is that he could have used the same EO, to replace Trump's appoiintees, but instead he tied a hand behind his …
I really don't think most Americans can comprehend what the the right wing oligarchy is about. Since most Americans, especially the right wing type, have never gone hungry or without healthcare or shelter, a day in their life thanks to FDR, who they hate! It is pretty obvious to me that Biden and Garland did not prosecute the GOP traitors, why would they replace the chosen GOP traitors? As you know, Biden already gave the GOP the house and the supreme Court. I suspect the GOP will have another October surprise right before the next presidential election. And the elected GOP president will pardon Biden, or not have his attorney general prosecute Biden. Trying to get the GOP Cult to understand why Medicare shouldn't have to pay so much money for drugs shouldn't be so hard. If Trump did it, they would all get on board. Religion and party before country, is not very patriotic to the country.
