A silver lining of Trumpism
If Trump can be credited for having accomplished anything positive, it is the fact that he shredded and, indeed, incinerated the idea that Republican christians are …you know… christian. Being lectured by sychopaths about how Godly there were was extremely tiresome. Trump killed the ‘values voter’ wing of the GOP. It isn’t coming back in […]
Texas is not holding anything back
Today the Texas Senate passed a bill to force every public school classroom in the state to prominently display a copy of the Ten Commandments, and set prayer and bible reading times during the school day.

Carney to Run for Carper’s Senate Seat – Rumor Watch
I’ve heard it now from two unaffiliated sources, so I take it to be good news. Carney has a resume that reads like an unimproved 1998 micro-soft word resume template. He has all the charisma of an abandoned dishwasher, and would certainly lose a contested primary.

Show Notes:
“Justice” Clarence Thomas’ Nazi Sugar Daddy gave “gifts” beyond travel
This isn’t even a close call. It is just flat out illegal. Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The comment below, by Former Representative John Kowalko, reminded me of Chomsky’s observation that journalism cannot be a check on corporate power because the very system that produces journalists encourages complicity. Journalist themselves are the product of a lengthy vetting process to ensure only people who stick to the corporate line get to ask any […]
