And now, classified documents have been discovered at the residence of Mike Pence, despite the fact that Pence claimed he didn’t have any. Now, don’t get me wrong. It is not a crime to accidentally or inadvertently have some classified documents show up where they shouldn’t be. The crime is to take them intentionally, or […]
Lying Rep. George Santos is the humor gift that keeps on giving. Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL) is an actual recipient of the Wilson Prize for High-Energy Particle Accelerator Physics. Foster welcomes the newest member of the House committee on Science, Space and Technology.
CNN catches Republican Congressman Byron Donalds being completely hypocritical. The replies are pretty hilarious, too! Turns out that Donalds is also a criminal. In 1997, he was arrested for dealing marijuana, and in 2000, he pleaded guilty to felony bribery (as part of a scheme to defraud a bank). And of course, he was one […]
Actually, it is WAY more than twice. One thing about the recent Speaker of the House election that seems to have been largely ignored (including by most media outlets) is that the MAGA 20 keep claiming that they are fiscal conservatives who want to reduce the federal deficit. This is a baldfaced lie. First, let’s […]
I’d like to share an interesting source on the internet with you. I’ve been enjoying watching videos on YouTube from Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a physicist who mainly posts videos explaining physics (such as quantum mechanics) in her series “Science without the Gobbledygook”. She does a good job of simplifying complex subjects (similar to what […]
Today is the anniversary of Donald Trump’s insurrection against Congress two years ago. Notice that the 20 Congress-critters who are currently shutting down the House are some of the same people who enabled and encouraged the first attempted coup, and are now basically doing the same thing, except from within. As an extra bonus, the […]
Why does the economy change? Why do we have economic recessions and even depressions? Tom the Dancing Bug explains it all with a simple example. Now we just have to figure out why most extremely rich people seem to do fine anyway (Hint: see last frame).
In an interview, Michael Cohen makes a good point that Donald Trump is not actually running for president. The whole interview is interesting. Cohen points out that Trump had done exactly two things, he filled out a form saying that he is running for president, and he announced he was running on the “Truth Social” […]
Republicans are very slowly condemning Donald Trump for calling for the termination of the Constitution, but they will still vote for him in the next presidential election.
A federal judge exercised his right to free speech, and told Florida gov Ron Desantis to sit down and STFU. The judge blocked state officials from enforcing a key part of the new “Stop WOKE Act”, saying it was “positively dystopian”. Comparing the law to the book “1984” by George Orwell, the judge wrote that […]
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and said it was up to each state to decide abortion rights, there have been six states that put the fate of reproductive rights on the ballot. The first ballot measure was from Kansas in August, where Republicans outnumber Democrats two-to-one. And yet the measure passed by […]
We may not know who controls either house of Congress yet, but at least we have Stephen Colbert to cheer us up.
Republicans love to blame everyone else (Democrats, emigrants, gays, Jews, Blacks, and on and on) for their problems, but they are now turning on each other. And (hallelujah!) they are especially attacking Donald Trump. According to Maggie Haberman and Michael Bender in the NY Times: Donald Trump faced unusual public attacks from across the Republican […]
The Democratic Party tried a rather risky gambit during the midterm election. During the primaries, they promoted far-right Trump-loving candidates (even running ads for them), assuming that such candidates would be easier to defeat in the election. At the time, there was much concern that it might blow up in their face. But did it […]
Hopefully I’m not being premature (it isn’t even midnight on the East Coast yet), but there seem to be two pieces of good news happening in the midterm elections. First, a “red wave” was strongly predicted. After all, traditionally the party in power in the White House loses many seats in Congress – Obama lost […]
