The Epstein files still won’t go away, even after the bizarre and flagrantly transparent distraction of trying to make dirt stick to President Obama. According to the current White House Occupant, Pres. Obama engaged in “sedatious” behavior. He must assume that because he himself often falls asleep on the job, other presidents do too.
Wayne Allyn Root sees the Epstein scandal as itself a distraction. From what? Why, from “the long, superhuman list of achievements that T—p has accomplished to start his second term.” Superhuman indeed.
The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, who seems to be obsessed with the goal of making the Stupid roll at least once a week, chimes in that “either top Obama officials are arrested or Tulsi Gabbard should be fired”. Okay, fair enough.
Not content to appear in the Stupid roll merely once, Walsh shoots for twice, though on the same topic: “The typical pattern by Republicans since forever is to make these kinds of claims, but to make them only on social media and Fox News and to never actually bring it to a court of law so the parties responsible can be held accountable”. He’s so close to getting it. So, so close.
Did we say twice? Make it thrice for Matt. Speaking of (or rather at) Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), he says, “You’re not American. You clearly don’t like this country or identify yourself with it. So there is no we here. You want to talk about we, go back to Cuba and talk about we.” For the record, Salazar was born and raised in Miami. But hey, it’s encouraging to see these people eat their own.
At Fox “News”, Greg Gutfeld says women were more skilled before DEI came along, since “they had to be better than everybody else”. Hey, why don’t we just handicap and discriminate against everybody?
“The Democrats are heading for a mid-terms triumph. It’s the last thing they need” — headline at The Telegraph
Oklahoma Superintendent of Schools Ryan Walters, who wants the Bible and PragerU in every classroom, and wants kids and Oklahomans to live by (his version of) Christian values, was caught watching nudie flicks during an official meeting. The most significant part of this story is not what he was watching on his computer. Anybody should be able to do that. Or the blaring hypocrisy of someone doing this while condemning others for doing it. What’s new? Or that he was doing it on the job. Hey, he’s probably not the first. No, the most significant thing is that, in true MAGA fashion, he blamed other people for his own actions: “Some of these board members are blatantly dishonest and cannot hide their political agenda. It is disappointing that they are more interested in creating distractions than getting work done for Oklahoma families.” Should they be doing the kind of “work” you were doing, Ryan?
Dr. Dawn Michael, a clinical sexologist, tweeted : “Since 1994 we have had no polio in the United States, it’s 2025, yet we continue to give the children the polio vaccine in four doses at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6-18 months, and 4-6 years. Why is that?” Hmmm… I wonder.
Absolutely Right ON!, I love the humorous irony that the extreme right creates every day of the Trump administration, and the way you succinctly reduce their miss, and disinformation to the lowest common denominator on the laughable scale via your blog.
What bothers me most though, is not the dumb mistakes they make, but rather, the shrewd tactics they are effectively using right now to destroy freedom of speech and wipe clean scientifically correct information and data from the internet. They have already shut down the NOAA and the EPA by ordering them to remove all their man-made global warming data and prohibiting them from adding more in the future! And judging from the carnage in MAGA’s past, many more factual and vital environmental organizations will soon follow. So Yup, we have arrived at the Big Brother is Watching and the Fahrenheit 451 book burning orgy times, except it’s our own long respected freedom of speech that’s going up in flames.
What will we do when our fascist like leader has absolutely nothing left to impede his ruthless dictates? For Dictators in power, removing free speech and policing their own media are standard requirements for becoming successful tyrants, and we are rapidly heading their way. Remember the idea that a partisan group of electors could be set up to alter the electoral vote count and block the peaceful transfer of power on Jan 26, 2021? Doesn’t that idea effectively destroy the whole concept of free and fair elections. So in the same way, we need to be alarmed now–because if we lose our awareness of what the Constitution protects, we will no longer know if (any) news story is true or false, and we will have gone past the political tipping point. That means and our Democracy may never return! To think that after 250 years of struggling to make our democracy conform to it own Constitution, while brave men and patriots gave up their lives and offered their most unselfish actions to preserve our noble experience of sustaining a free nation, we still don’t know what is precious, and how to keep it alive, and that is truly a travesty!

Damn, I meant (Jan 6, 2021). Maybe those damn Jewish space lasers are having a seditious effect on me? Could you remove my second comment POP?
