An ex-president is dying, but it’s the wrong one. Jimmy Carter, who at 98 has lived longer than any U.S. president, has entered hospice care. Speculation on how Republicans will disrespect his memory has already begun.

Revelations that Fox News is actually a propaganda operation has prompted calls for revocation of Rupert Murdoch’s citizenship. Tucker Carlson agrees: He thinks a rich foreign-born guy shouldn’t be allowed to influence our elections. He was talking about Soros. Wonder how he feels in private about all those foreign-born immigrant gentiles like Murdoch, Musk and Thiel.

See, conservatives only like immigrants when they’re rich and selfish about it. Ghoulish stick insect Ann Coulter let the mask slip with her reaction to Nikki “Nimrata” Haley’s presidential campaign. It ain’t pretty. “Her candidacy did reminds me that I need to immigrate to India … What’s with the worshipping of the cows? They’re all starving over there. Did you know they have a rat temple, where they worship rats?” Sounds like Ann is jealous.

Florida already is home to all America’s dumb old people, so now Meatball Ron DeSantis wants to dumb down the young ‘uns, too. He wants to get the state to reject the SAT and ACT in favor of Christian instruction and testing that glorifies the country’s Christian heritage, as Jesus so clearly intended. I wonder if they’ll emphasize that Jesus was a Jew?

But hope is on the horizon. The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is collapsing. Scientists have dubbed it the “doomsday glacier” because it will raise global sea levels significantly once it finishes falling into the ocean, which would be bad news for Florida. Ironically, the glacier is about the size of Florida — or, rather, the size Florida is today.

Man, that Republican electorate is just throbbing with Incel Energy. Chelsea Handler, guest-hosting “The Daily Show,” did a silly little piece mocking the idea that childless women are miserable, and Tucker Carlson went ballistic. Amanda Marcotte noted, “The way that the right-wing media freaked out over Handler’s video made it clear they see insecure, bitter men as their primary audience.” Trust me, Amanda, they have lots of data proving exactly that.

WordPress is starting to groan about all the links, so that’ll have to do for now. The floor’s yours.
