The Center for Disease Control reports 76.9% of all Americans over the age of 65 have received at least one shot of Covid-19 vaccine as of yesterday. Some 33.7% of the entire US population has also received one or two doses. The percentage of adult US residents who have been injected...
Equality for a lot of white Americans means acknowledging that black people are human. The difficulty comes when applying equity because that paradigm strikes at the heart of privilege. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) made that abundantly clear with the questions he put to the Biden administration’s nominee for Attorney General,...
Riding with the cops and rooting for the robbers, many members of the Senate GQP have made their decisions, siding with technical arguments as the Republic was threatened. Criming will happen again, even if violating a Constitutional oath while in office, and now further as the potential of returning to...
Because you shouldn’t pay any attention to the attempt to extort votes from Georgia election officials. Remember a current Trump delusion revealed by the latest tape kerfuffle is that because the states near to Georgia went for Trump, it must be a “Trump state”, and he needs to pimp his speech today. President Trump on...
For all the naysayers, and denier(s) who think that Black Lives Matter is an abominable allegory, I point you to the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. I have a good friend who lives in Detroit, which is in Wayne County. The board of canvassers which certifies the election results...
I’m all in for this: President-elect Joe Biden will join the lineup of influential Democrats involved in Georgia's ongoing senatorial campaigns, according to his recently-named forthcoming chief of staff. Ron Klain—who will formally step into the role when become Biden assumes office in January—discussed the outcomes of Georgia's two runoff...
Received this e-mail on Friday from Slate Magazine’s The Surge where they rank these seven U.S. Senate races to watch: 1. Maine Putting this race in the top slot feels a bit like cheating. Sure, there was a Quinnipiac poll this week that showed GOP Sen. Susan Collins trailing her Democratic opponent,...
In August 1619, the first known slave ship arrived from Africa on the American shore. That became the date for the start of slavery in the colonies and later the United States. The “peculiar institution” has been foundational to the country, from the structure of the Constitution to the Civil...
This is awesome: A campaign event for U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., in North Forsyth was interrupted by Black Lives Matter supporters on Thursday afternoon. About four individuals began chanting “Black lives matter” during Loeffler's remarks at the Sawnee Mountain Park community building during a campaign event attended by several...
This guy is such an asshole: Alabama GOP Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville is fundraising and holding face-to-face meetings in Washington this week, defying orders from the city that visitors from certain coronavirus hot spots quarantine upon arrival. Tuberville spent at least some of his time in D.C. at the Trump International Hotel, according...
So much Tom “Lando” Cotton secession in a three block area of Portland, even smaller than Seattle’s CHAZ/CHOP neighborhood. Defenders of the Portland operation point to the unrest — vandalism and fires targeting the federal courthouse — as evidence of the need for federal intervention. The government has the authority...
He isn’t the winner of the Republican asshole of the week, but Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas will be issuing a mandate for wearing masks to combat the coronavirus on…Drum roll please…Monday. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Governor Asa Hutchinson announced he would issue a mask mandate in Arkansas, effective...
Rule of thumb: If Rand Paul and Congressman Thomas Massie are screaming, you are doing something right. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has been pleading for weeks with churches, synagogues, mosques and and other sites of worship to shut their doors to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Beshear has issued...
Apparently, this guy has known all along that Donald Trump is, as he calls him, “deranged” — but he voted for the ocher abomination in 2016 anyway. He reasoned that Trump’s derangement might lessen as the gravity of his office became more apparent. As we all know, the opposite happened. And...
The raging bushfires and intense drought that has plagued the Australian continent for several months have taken a heavy toll on wildlife, particularly in the state of New South Wales. The images of burned koalas and kangaroos are chilling, but they are not the only species that are suffering. In...
I’m not a lawyer nor a constitutional scholar, but the Media has not being doing its job when it comes to covering the upcoming Senate trial of Trump. I know. “A real shocker there Merlin. Have you thought about auditioning for the role of Captain Obvious?” Hear me out for...
Actually her entire quote in the Washington Post is…. ”Trump can hug the flag all he likes, but it doesn’t make up for spitting on the graves of 2,996 people killed on 9/11 and nearly 2,400 American men and women who died in the war in Afghanistan.” Wow. Rubin may...
Because why should he stop grifting us all just because he’s out office? I didn’t watch the entire Donald Trump/Chuck Todd interview because I’d scheduled a colonoscopy. I wasn’t due for one, but it seemed preferable to watching this, and the horse vet was able to squeeze me in at the...
Remember that Noah’s Ark replica here in KY? It was paid for in part by Kentucky tax payers. Well, the company that runs this scam has decided to sue its insurance companies over — wait for it — recent rain damage that the insurers refuse to pay for. The owner of the...
Oof. So much smoke — everywhere. Maybe Trump needs to rake his offices to prevent these wildfires from spreading. The New York Times: Anti-money laundering specialists at Deutsche Bank recommended in 2016 and 2017 that multiple transactions involving legal entities controlled by Donald J. Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, be...
Long, long ago — in the before-times — a married politician’s payoffs to two women to hide sordid affairs from the voting public would have been a kill-shot. Today, it’s known as “Trump being Trump.” CNN could show footage of Trump storing dead prostitutes in a giant warehouse like in the final...
I do not have the transcript, but I was listening to AM Joy this morning. And she and her panel brought up the false equivalency the Media finds between Republican scandals and Democratic “scandals.” In other words, the Hillary Clinton emails. I think most here can agree that the Media...
Truth may not be truth, but gibberish is always gibberish. Rudy Giuliani, whose public meltdown has been more glaring than a Raiders of the Lost Ark Nazi’s, is now weighing in on Let’s-endanger-our-national-security-by-stripping-away-security-clearances-from-former-CIA-directors-out-of-petty-spite-gate: x To John Brennan: Today President Trump granted our request (Jay Sekulow and me) to handle your...
God/Yahweh has not blessed the Noah’s Ark theme park in Kentucky with a deluge of visitors. The Ark Encounter sold a little more than 860,000 tickets between July 2017 and June 2018, according to open records obtained by The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes the separation of...
