Should powered bicycles be for older people like me or should young teenage boys ride them too? I loved riding my bike with my own young muscle strength, amazed at how fast I could go and how far I could jump. The experience has got to be different in every conceivable way.

“Pretty Boy Floyd” by Woody Guthrie

Speaking of Class Warfare, ever wonder why folks back in the Great Depression idolized bank robbers? I’d guess people hated banks that fucking much.

Our friend @culturaloffering breaks the sad news that pioneering guitarist James Blood Ulmer died.

If you were tuned into the emerging music scene of the 70’s and 80’s when the future of music appeared to be an exhilarating combination of funk, pioneering hip hop like that from DJ Kool Herc and Africa Bombaataa; and unconventional jazz, Ulmer’s name was one you passed around like a secret passcode to the club. Sorta like dropping Big Star into a conversation a block or two away from this scene.

I hadn’t thought of Ulmer for years and I’m kinda embarrassed to admit that. He left some good stuff behind. Dig in.

So long, James

Meet the Press today aired an interview host Kristen Welker taped Friday with President Donald J.

Meet the Press today aired an interview host Kristen Welker taped Friday with President Donald J. Trump. It showed Trump losing control and walking out of the interview when Welker challenged his insistence that the 2020 presidential election and the recent California election were rigged.

Weirdly, he kept referring to the U.S. as “your” country when he was speaking to Welker, and to “your” elections. It was almost as if he was a foreign observer offering criticism of the U.S.

As Welker repeatedly pointed out that he has never produced any evidence for his assertions, he got madder and madder, calling the media—NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN—one-sided and crooked. He insisted “there’s more evidence than ever presented.” When she asked again if he had evidence, he said: “All I have to do is look.” When she continued to ask for evidence, he said: “You’re either crooked or you’re stupid.”

Finally, he got up, pulled off his mic, and left, telling her: “Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you darling. Have a good time.”

One of the things Trump spat at Welker was that “[a] country can never be great with a dishonest press.” With this statement directed at the legacy media, once again, Trump illustrated that he was accusing his opponents of what he, himself, is doing, a classic authoritarian technique to muddy the waters so people stop trying to figure out what is real and cease to believe anything.

In her interview, Welker challenged Trump over more than his election denial. He didn’t appear to like questions about the economy or his war on Iran, either.

Meeting with Trump in Wisconsin, at his team’s request, Welker asked Trump about the economy, noting that “Gas is up. Diesel is up.” Trump answered: “It’s all coming down as soon as the war’s over.” Welker continued: “Seventy percent of farmers say they can’t afford fertilizer.” Trump responded: “The farmers are doing very well.” He added: “All of them support me because there’s nobody been better to farmers.” He continued: “You know I had a great first term. I had the greatest economy ever. And you know what? This one’s blowing it away.”

As for Iran, Trump denied to Welker that he had ever promised to stay out of foreign wars, although Jane C. Timm of NBC News reminded readers that he told Pennsylvania voters in 2024: “I will not send you to fight and die in stupid foreign wars that never end. I will not send our sons and daughters to go fight for a war in a country that you’ve never heard of. We’re not going to do it. We’re going to bring our troops home, and we’re going to focus on America First.”
