On this day in 1958, George Harrison joined The Quarrymen, a skiffle/ rock band that was a precursor to The Beatles and was fronted by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The rest, as they say, is history. It was hard choosing, but we're featuring three of our favorite Harrison compositions for The Beatles (of course, he went on to write many classics as a solo artist): "If I Needed Someone" ("Rubber Soul" album), "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" ("White" album), and finally "Here Comes The Sun" ("Abbey Road" album) to play us out on a joyous note for the weekend.
It's been reported that a top Russian military intelligence official has been shot and severely wounded in Moscow. Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev, the deputy head of the GRU, Russia's military intelligence service, was shot in a residential building earlier today. A close ally of Russian war criminal Putin, he's responsible for criminal activities aimed not only at Ukraine but at the U.S. and its allies:
"Alekseyev has been transferred to a city hospital, the Investigative Committee statement said. He is in intensive care and in a serious condition following the shooting, according to Russian state media.
Alekseyev, 64, is the first deputy head of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, the GRU. The Russian general was one of several GRU officials sanctioned by the United States in 2016 for wide-ranging malicious cyber activity directed at undermining US democratic processes.
He was also sanctioned by the European Union in January 2019 following a nerve agent attack in Salisbury, England, which the British government said was carried out by GRU agents to poison a former Russian spy. The EU sanctions describe Alekseyev as 'responsible for the possession, transport and use in Salisbury… of the toxic nerve agent ‘Novichok’ by officers from the GRU,' along with sanctioned Russian military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov.'" (our emphasis)
While Russian officials have blamed Ukraine for the assault on Alekseyev, Ukraine has not commented on it thus far. If Ukraine were responsible, it would be another coup for their clandestine service, the SBU.
Russia has lost a reported 19 generals since their invasion of Ukraine in 2022, many near war zones, but occasionally through attacks deep within Russia. Since their brutal invasion, Russia's losses are estimated to be 1.2 million killed, wounded or missing, with some 325,000 killed.

The lawless Malignant Fascist's latest narcissistic extortion attempt may end up costing commuters in New York and New Jersey:
Trump administration officials made it known to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that the president would release federal funds for a massive rail tunnel project connecting New York and New Jersey on the condition that two major travel hubs be renamed in his honor, according to three people with knowledge of the request.
The three people, granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive negotiation, said President Donald Trump would agree to release the funding for the Gateway project, which has been held up since October — but that his ask was that both Washington-Dulles International Airport outside Washington, and Pennsylvania Station in New York City, be renamed for the president.
Schumer declined the offer, according to two people with knowledge of the request. “There was nothing to trade,” said a person close to Schumer. “The president stopped the funding and he can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers.”
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
The Trump administration has withheld billions in federal funding for the $16 billion project, arguing it is conducting a review into whether diversity, equity and inclusion practices had played a factor in awarding contracts for the job. Since that decision, Transportation Secretary Duffy and Trump have given conflicting public statements on the status of Gateway.
When completed, the project would expand the number of rail tunnels between New York City and New Jersey under the Hudson River.
The end of the Gateway tunnel project could put roughly 1,000 workers out of a job. A judge is expected to hear an emergency order to restart the federal funding Friday.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), in a statement Thursday evening, called Trump’s ask “ridiculous.”
“These naming rights aren’t tradable as part of any negotiations, and neither is the dignity of New Yorkers,” she said. “At a time when New Yorkers are already being crushed by high costs under the Trump tariffs, the president continues to put his own narcissism over the good-paying union jobs this project provides and the extraordinary economic impact the Gateway tunnel will bring.”
He's clearly ... not well? A puerile toddler? Demented? A malignant narcissist? Insane? All of the preceding? Well, one thing for certain: when you engage in extortion, you're committing a felony (something the State of New York already convicted the MF of -- 34 times). Sadly, he has a "get out of jail free" card courtesy of corrupt Republican-in-robes John Roberts.
The States of New York and New Jersey have sued the gangster regime to release the already- appropriated funds. But when you're a lawless tyrant-in-the-making, you likely don't feel bound by any courts.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced he's setting up an investigation of the multiple references to friend of the Malignant Fascist, Russian war criminal Vladimir Putin, in the Epstein-Trump files. There have been occasional theories that the late underage female sex trafficker was financed by Russia through money laundering, and that Epstein videotaped his wealthy and influential "clients" having sex with underage girls at different locations. From The Times:
"Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, earlier this week said he has was setting up a team to examine the numerous mentions of Putin and other Russians in the Epstein files.
He said it was likely that the 'unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services' to harm the Polish state. 'This can only mean that they also possess compromising materials against many leaders still active today,' he said.
There are more than 1,000 mentions of Putin and almost 10,000 references to Moscow, including suggestions of potential meetings with the Russian leader in the files. However, there is no evidence that they met in person. [snip]
This comes as Tusk said: 'More and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services.
'I don’t need to tell you how serious the increasingly likely possibility that Russian intelligence services co-organised this operation is for the security of the Polish state. This can only mean that they also possess compromising materials against many leaders still active today.'" (our emphasis)
This comes across as a classic KGB / FSI "honeytrap" operated by Epstein and financed by the Kremlin, which now conceivably has hundreds, if not thousands, of videos and documentation of political, business, cultural and other Western elites for extortion / kompromat purposes, including perhaps the Malignant Fascist and others in his regime.
If the Malignant Fascist and his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi "Our Friend Tulsi" Gabbard weren't alleged stooges for Russia, they'd be spearheading a U.S. investigation. Instead, Gabbard is stalling serious whistleblower complaints, and doing knock-off cosplays of ICE Barbie at the Fulton County, GA, board of elections to please the MF and feed his lying, narcissistic nonsense about the 2020 election being stolen from him. Maybe "Our Friend Tulsi" will find the "11,780 votes" that her cult leader was looking for in his infamous call to Georgia election officials to corrupt the election. That would please her friends in the White House and the Kremlin.

In a letter (pdf) to House and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairs and Ranking Members on Tuesday, a bipartisan group of former Agriculture Department and farm sector leaders warned of a "widespread collapse of America agriculture" due to "the harmful and compounding effect that Administration policies are having on our farmers and on the long-term competitiveness of U.S. agriculture." The letter was signed by 27 prominent leaders in the agricultural sector. Here are some pertinent excerpts :
We write as a group of bipartisan former leaders of American agricultural commodity and biofuels associations, farm leaders, and former USDA officials. We have spent our entire careers working to build U.S. agriculture and are dismayed at the damage that is being done to American farmers.
Farmer bankruptcies have doubled, barely half of all farms will be profitable this year, and the U.S. is running a historic agriculture trade deficit. These metrics reflect a sharp reversal from record farm export surpluses and farm incomes experienced just a few years ago. [snip]
The reasons for the dramatic turnaround are complex, but it is clear that the current Administration's actions, along with Congressional inaction, have increased costs for farm inputs, disrupted overseas and domestic markets, denied agriculture its reliable labor pool, and defunded critical ag research and staffing. And these impacts are not happening in a vacuum. At the same time that farm country is reeling from these blows to agriculture, rural health care cuts are threatening a vital safety net for America's farm families. Congress needs to assert itself on behalf of farmers if we are to avoid a widespread collapse of American agriculture and our rural communities.
The letter cites all of the Malignant Fascist's dystopian policies in that last paragraph that are making our country -- not just the agriculture sector -- poorer, weaker, more inhumane, and subject to a mad megalomaniac's whims, enabled by a Republican MAGAt cult in Congress. More validation of "when you elect a clown, expect a circus."
BONUS: Hey little people, there's always the $3 meal proposed by Agriculture Secretary Brooke "Schnook" Rollins. America's Golden Age is here!
U.S.-based employers announced 108,435 job cuts in January, an increase of 118% from the 49,795 cuts announced in the same month last year. It is up 205% from the 35,553 job cuts announced in December, according to a report released Thursday from global outplacement and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
January’s total is the highest for the month since 2009, when 241,749 job cuts were announced. It is the highest monthly total since October 2025, when 153,074 cuts were recorded.
“Generally, we see a high number of job cuts in the first quarter, but this is a high total for January. It means most of these plans were set at the end of 2025, signaling employers are less-than-optimistic about the outlook for 2026,” said Andy Challenger, workplace expert and chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas. (our emphasis)
The biggest job cuts were in Transportation (31,243), Technology (22,291), Healthcare (17,107), and Chemical manufacturing (4,701).
Not to worry, though. When he's not covering up his massive presence in the Epstein Files, having his DHS domestic terrorists kill people and execute non-judicial warrants, seizing ballots from 2020 in Georgia, threatening new tariffs based on whims or slights (then walking them back), suing the Treasury Department for $10 billion taxpayer dollars, enriching himself and his family through foreign emoluments, letting a nuclear arms treaty with Russia expire while hamstringing Ukraine's defenses, building his $400 million golden ballroom, approving plans for his grand triumphal arch, critiquing the Grammys and writing promos for his wife's movie bomb, etc., he'll get right on it!
BONUS: Plus, the lowest job openings since 2020.
Yesterday's massive layoffs at the Washington Post by Trump fart sniffer Jeff Bezos shocked and appalled anyone who remembers the Post as it once was under the Graham family. The vulgar, sychophant billionaire has now succeeded in his apparent goal of making the country and world a little safer for Trump. This comes only days after his $75 million bribe bomb movie "Eva Braun Melania" assaulted the theaters. Here's the massacre, with some context, by the numbers:
Amount Amazon MGM Studios spent on the rights to “Melania” the movie: $40 million.
Amount Amazon MGM spent marketing “Melania:” $35 million.
Reporters laid off while in the middle of a war zone: At least one.
Number of Middle East correspondents and editors fired: All of them.
Amount of sports department remaining: None of it.
Reporters and editors in India and Australia: All laid off.
Books coverage: Gone entirely.
Journalists laid off: More than 300.
Presidential endorsements muzzled: One.
Cost of Jeff Bezos’ yacht: $500 million.
Median salary of a Washington Post employee in the Post’s Newspaper Guild: $99,904.
Estimated cost of Lauren Sanchez’s wedding dress: $300,000.
Jeff Bezos’ net worth: $245 billion.
Words Bezos and Washington Post publisher Will Lewis have devoted to addressing the cuts: 0.
Last reported annual losses of the Post: $100 million.
Number of years of losses Bezos could reportedly absorb with what he makes in a single week: Five.
This gutless, amoral billionaire -- who has major business interests dependent upon the corrupt Trump regime -- sacrificed what was once a jewel of American journalism to his greed and lust for power.
Here's a reminder, across the American media horizon, of some of the millionaires/billionaires with Trump ties or sympathies who own or control ...
-- Meta / Facebook / Instagram/ What's App/ Threads, etc. (Mark Zuckerberg);
-- X (Elon Musk);
-- Fox "News" Corp. / Wall Street Journal / New York Post (Rupert Murdoch family);
-- CBS (David Ellison);
-- Los Angeles Times (Patrick Soon-Shiong);
-- Minnesota Star Tribune (Glen Taylor);
-- Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Richard Mellon Scaife);
-- Las Vegas Review-Journal (Adelson family);
-- Baltimore Sun / Sinclair Broadcast Group (David D. Smith)
-- One America News (Robert Herring, Sr.);
-- Newsmax (Christopher Ruddy);
-- Salem Media Group (Stuart Epperson);
-- Nexstar Media Group (Perry Sook) ...
... and so on, but not including much of "new media" companies and outlets that occupy so much of the landscape today. We're still awaiting the outcome of the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns CNN, and is being pursued in a hostile takeover by the same David Ellison who bought (with his daddy Larry's money) CBS ("SeeBS") and turned it into another Trump-friendly property.
But Bezos. Bezos' ambitious, heedless, greedy little fingers have torn down what was once a respected world-class newspaper and a First Amendment check on the powerful. Of all the monsters populating our country in these awful times, he occupies a special place.
BONUS: Former Post editor Marty Baron said,
“Bezos’s sickening efforts to curry favor with President Trump have left an especially ugly stain of their own. This is a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.”
It's especially ugly when you see the foreign and domestic bureaus that have been eliminated, including the one in California that covered tech accountability (including Bezos').
Good times.

"The latest memorandum from the Trump administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) cheerfully announces with bureaucratic calm what once would have been answered by revolutionary era muskets: federal agents may enter private homes without a warrant signed by a judge. [snip]
"In practical terms, it gives the Trump administration license to break down doors without the traditional judicial oversight that has long been a cornerstone of American liberty.
"This is not merely a policy adjustment. It is a confession—of contempt for the U.S. Constitution and for the intelligence of the American public.
"The Fourth Amendment states in plain English that the
government may not search or seize without a warrant issued by a neutral
magistrate. It was written by our nation’s founders – people who had
experienced firsthand the charms of having British agents, on behalf of
King George the third, kicking in doors based on vague suspicions. The
colonists found these encounters repugnant. The 4th amendment was their way of saying: never again. ICE’s memo is the modern Trump reply: just watch us..." -- David Shuster, Blue Amp Media Substack, on the most recent blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution by the lawless Malignant Fascist's regime. These increasingly bold fascists regard the Constitution as merely advisory and obeying judicial orders as optional. We doubt these thugs will pay any more attention to any "restrictions" that might be placed on them when Congress takes up the DHS funding bill over the next 10 days.

Their 2012 Grammy for Best Blues Album (Revelator) and multiple Blues Music Awards since then have put them at the top of their musical genre. They have a new album coming out in March, Future Soul, and we have a track from that album, I Got You, for today's song.
