Looks like someone forgot to scrub his Twitter account. x I was never a big fan of John McCain, disagreed with him on many things including ridiculous endless wars and the lack of success he had in dealing with the VA and our great Vets, but the lowering of our Nations American Flags, and the…

Wow. And I thought Obama was cool as a cucumber. Please enjoy this short video taken of Kamala Harris before she goes live explaining how to brine a turkey.

bringing down a Columbus statue before Trump's protection squad arrives in Chicago
Considering the penchant for bored federal tactical teams to practice their snatch and grab techniques with their rental vehicles, it’s a good thing to take down that statue. Chicago will feature at least 200 members of the miscellaneous DHS protection squad this weekend. x BREAKING: Mayor Lori Lightfoot plans to remove the controversial statue of…
Chuck Todd mercilessly slams Trump before COVID press conference
One knows a president has lost all respect and credibility when his press conference is prefaced by Chuck Todd preempting the lies he is expected to tell. Chuck Todd, where was this reporting before? x x YouTube Video Watch complete episodes here. The segment started with all the asinine statements made by the president on…
“Worse before it gets better” Trump does another presser, can't control his ad libs
Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced that Trump's aides finally got…

The “Negro National Hymn” to be sung before the first NFL games – reactionaries haz a sad
It is a surprise to some who haven’t spent time in African-American cultural institutions that Lift Every Voice and Sing is a standard for many events. It never substitutes for the US national anthem. It is equally surprising not to know the lyrics of a song that is much more fun and more religious to sing…

Whistleblowers to come before House Judiciary to testify about AG Barr's politicizing DoJ
Bill Barr has refused to appear before the House Judiciary committee but other witnesses have not. This could be a bigger deal, if only to remind how Barr’s entire career as a Republican “fixer” might be laid bare. Not exactly impeachment but the basis for post-Trump prosecution might be created. If anything the misuse of…

CEOs were told to remove masks before meeting with Pence
The White House could not be more contaminated right now if it were a pig feces lagoon.

The Michael Cohen book is coming out before election day (and Trump is scared shiftless)
Trump’s ex-lawyer has not been shiftless while hiding his light under a gray-bar bushel. Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has spent his time behind bars writing a potentially explosive tell-all book about life with the president, reports say. Three people familiar with the project told The Daily Beast that Cohen – who is being released early from prison…
Fauci: US needs to double COVID testing before reopening economy
Without sarcasm, Trump’s disinforming claims of the total number of tests have little to do with the number of per capita tests needed. Trump says he disagrees with Fauci comments that U.S. needs more coronavirus testing. In January, Trump did not push for adequate testing. The U.S. should at least double coronavirus testing in the coming weeks before…
US needs to triple the number of COVID tests to 500-700,000 per day before any “reopening”
A new Harvard report shows that testing needs to be immediately ramped up by at least three times beyond its current level.

Sadly the entire system of…
