Oklahoma Superintendant of Education Ryan Walters said, "We have to cover history accurately," and with that, the Bible has been mandated to be taught in all Oklahoma public schools. This follows Louisiana's asinine law of requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in all public school classrooms. Walters also said it would be “academic malpractice” not... Continue Reading →
He Gets Us
If you were one of the many viewers of the Super Bowl playing a drinking game to take a shot every time Taylor Swift was shown, then you probably got hammered depending on your alcohol of choice. If you were ONLY drinking each time she was shown and your shot was one of those weak... Continue Reading →
Hell no, Dalai
The Dalai Lama got himself into some hot water last week, which is something he's kind of been on a roll with lately. In a 2019 interview with the BBC, he said if a female Dalai Lama should succeed him, she "should be more attractive." In 2018, while speaking about African refugees entering the continent,...

Evil SCOTUS
There's a particular trait that's common among conservatives and that is for them to explain their positions, they have to lie. Have you ever heard anyone defend Donald Trump without lying? Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is a liar. But then again, the six extreme right-wing Christian fundamentalist justices that are the majority on the... Continue Reading →
SCOTUS Erode Us
The far-right troglodyte court of religious zealots had a very busy week. First, they ruled that religious private schools can receive taxpayer money. Naturally, this violates the separation of church and state which is in the Constitution. Claiming they can actually comprehend the Constitution, SCOTUS' next move was to allow people to carry concealed guns... Continue Reading →
Slithering SCOTUS
I love that conservatives are strict constitutionalists except when they're not. Conservatives say they love the Constitution and it needs to be interpreted as it was written by the Founding Fathers, but they really only care about one amendment, the Second, and they even ignore half of that one. Hell, they can't even say the... Continue Reading →
Bad Faith
I was born Catholic and then dragged into Baptist churches after my father bailed on us. Later, my mom married a guy in the Chicago suburbs and I was dragged back into Catholic churches. After they divorced, I was forced to move to the deep south and once again attend Baptist churches. So naturally, I'm... Continue Reading →
Grim SCOTUS
The biggest takeaway from the Supreme Court's ruling that churches in New York can remain open, because placing restrictions on them is infringing upon their Constitutionally-protected religious freedom, is where the court will be years from now. The court ruled on similar cases just a few months ago, and ruled 5-4, with Chief Justice John... Continue Reading →
Religious Test Bigotry
Don't take my word for it that Republicans are going to lose in November. Take theirs. Republicans know they're going to lose the Senate (even South Carolina is competitive. South Carolina!). They're going to lose the White House. There is no chance they can retake Congress. Republicans know the will of the American people is... Continue Reading →
If Biden Wins
You would think Donald Trump is talking out of his ass and making up wild bullshit out of desperation from losing to Joe Biden, except Donald Trump always talks out of his ass and makes up wild bullshit. Donald Trump said if Biden wins, he'll, "Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No... Continue Reading →
