I consider the name of this blog to be a proper noun, a name. You are not worried about the title. You just want to sneak in
a dose of sarcasm.
Nope. This blog has a track record of dismissing any comment or link that is not favorable to the democratic party. Sarcasm is not required to detect this.
Ok let's run with it. How about this for a democratic topic. "How will the Harris administration deal with LLNL and NNSA?" Will it just be more of the same. Will it be cut or is it possible it will be ramped up? I have no heard any policy she would have for nuclear weapons. I doubt Trump will get it since he is now polling 35% points behind and falling, or so the news tells me. However if he does get in I suppose it will be pretty much live the first term.
Are you sure there is a problem? Almost everything I've posted of a serious nature goes through fine. Here's a video for example, of the Budget Hearings for the 2025 DOE in the House, which I would view as appropriate material for a serious discussion:

“Are you sure there is a problem? Almost everything I've posted of a serious nature goes through fine.”
I don’t think I’d call it a problem, I think this blog has value. Having said this, commenters aren’t aware of what never makes it to a new proposed topic or comment.
Example 1:
I tried to post a link to a study quantifying the buying power lost in the last few years directly linked to inflation, and how future retirees may need to work additional years to make up for the erosion of their respective nest eggs, which has and will impact current and future retirees at LLNL.
Example 2:
I tried to post a link to a recent RFK Jr. video where he is very concerned about the health and obesity of Americans, especially our youth.
As I said though, I still like this blog, and Scooby continues to put his valuable time into it.
Thank you for finding value in this blog.
I filter out extremism and RFK is an extremist and is anti vaccine and as MAGA as the orange man.
.I am not going to give him a voice. All blog readers and contributors: what you think?
Scooby runs pretty lib. Having said that, what can you expect from a left-coaster?
What's wrong with being great?
RFK is not extreme...he is however just a tad, odd. I thought he dumped a dead bear in Central Park. Pretty odd, but he actually bragged about it years latter which is even odder. I am going to go out on a limb and say he probably is not that relevant to LLNL but who knows. I am sure he is concerned about fat young Americans but it is bit of a stretch to think this is relevant to LLNL.
That's a compliment. Thank you!
And why would I give a voice to someone who doesn't believe in public safety?
I have my doubts whether posts are chosen with a bias towards a specific political party. Rather it's more plain outlook. Scooby does prefer opinions that lean to the Left. Submissions with a Right-Wing outlook do tend to be culled, there is empirical evidence to back-up that claim. A more important question remains, is the blog despite any bias a worthwhile site to visit and comment at? I would say "yes", even if begrudgingly so.
