With the kinda-sorta retirement of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Republicans are going to need a new boogieman. They probably have it in Attorney General Merrick Garland. And just like they did with Dr. Fauci, they'll do it by vilifying and making a bunch of horrible shit up to the point that his life will be in... Continue Reading →
SDX Award Plaque
Since I blogged about the RFK bust when it came in, I believe I should give equal treatment to the Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists that arrived yesterday. Besides, I may not ever win one of these ever again, so I'm gonna talk about it now. Also, I want to... Continue Reading →
Threats to Democracy
The issues that are of most concern to voters heading into the midterms elections this November are the cost of living, jobs, economy, immigration, crime, and climate change. But, we have a new number one issue and that is...threats to democracy. Good. Threats to our democracy should be the number one concern for voters. Usually,... Continue Reading →

Bibbidi Bobbidy Hamberder
Either Donald Trump is a dumbass and doesn't know how the president declassifies information, despite being president (sic), or he's lying. Obviously, it's both. He's a lying dumbass. There's a talking point among MAGAts that Donald Trump had a standing order while he was president (sic) that any document brought from the Oval Office to... Continue Reading →
Pence and the FB-Fly
For only the second time in his life, Mike Pence committed a noble act and called on his Republican Party to stop attacking the FBI. But I think Mike Pence forgets this is the same party that called for his hanging after he committed the first noble act of his life. When Mike Pence refused... Continue Reading →
