The denial dog that never barked
Fox News has fully exposed itself as the for profit propaganda arm of the GOP. Democrats are now free to stop pretending that it is “news” in a traditional sense. Even members of the media fraternity are now saying that Fox News propaganda arm of the GOP. But here is the interesting thing – nobody in the GOP or at Fox News denies it. They are candid – Fox News isn’t a news service, its a propaganda service.
No defenders of Fox have risen and attempted to make the case that Fox News is legitimate news. Steve Bannon simply says that they are part of the GOP and a part that should be be doing a better job electing Republicans.
Welcome to DelaWOKE – MAGA owned firms wondering when whites will ever get a fair shake in this state as Delaware moves to increase diversity in state-funded construction projects
Delaware using pilot studies to increase diversity in state-funded construction projects Anitra Johnson In a state where Black and Hispanic people make up one-third of the population, the likelihood that Delaware utilizes women-owned, Hispanic-owned, or Black-owned businesses in government-funded activities is low. A 2022 study commissioned by the state found a lack of diversity amongst […]
The Real Target
The New York Times and other Trans-hating media outlets will want you to think that it isn’t the trans youths they hate but the doctors and their diabolical sex change “experiments”. That’s bullshit. They hate the queers.
Expand Social Security Benefits by $2,400 a year & fully fund the program through 2095
Now that… (above) is something Democrats could run on and win, if they only had the guts to do it. Sure they’d have moderate ass-wipes like Coons and Kaine fretting and moaning about it, but fuck those guys. And by the way, I know I tend to view “policy” through the lens of “strategy” but […]
Song of the Day 3/2: Big Louisiana, Willy Rafus and Arthur Davis, “Let Your Hammer Ring”
A bunch of millionaires known as “U.S. senators” have been sitting around in their Washington, D.C., offices pretending that the richest country in the history of the world simply can’t afford to take care of its retirees if they stop working at 67. They want you to keep swinging that hammer until you’re 70. As […]
Jamie Raskin is probably right, we should insist on the correct name
I had kinda given up on paying much attention to this intentional grammatical error because so many Democratic Party dunderheads like John Carney constantly use “Democrat Party” when they mean “Democratic Party”.
What is “woke” anyway?
This is about as tidy a definition as I’v found: “Woke”, in fact, is a meaningless term — a floating signifier you can stuff with whatever you want. As Zoe Williams wrote in the Guardian: “a hate figure has been created, a shibboleth, a means by which bigots can identify one another and give voice […]
It is Going to Be a Rematch – Biden v Trump
There is no escaping the fact that Trump still owns the GOP. And if you look at it in terms of purely mercenary electoral realities- that’s good news for Biden. Paul Campos at LGM sums it up: Two things make this inevitable: (1) A collective action problem: the only way any other candidate would have […]

These House Republicans really are some sick mother fuckers.
House Oversight Chair Laments That Joe Biden’s Dead Son Was Never Prosecuted
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer invoked the late son of President Joe Biden on Tuesday, lamenting that Beau Biden was never prosecuted over an investigation into illegal contributions involving his father’s 2008 presidential campaign.
When he’s not busy threatening pay-TV providers for not carrying his favorite right-wing channels, or warning that Chinese spy balloons may drop “bioweapons” on the U.S., Comer has devoted much of his energy to launching an investigation into presidential son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Song of the Day 2/28: Aerosmith, “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)”
As anyone who follows the news knows, Republicans have a hard on for drag queens — uh, maybe I should rephrase that. Or maybe I shouldn’t. Southern states must be hotbeds of drag shows, because many of them are trying to curtail them or ban them outright. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has been particularly vocal […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to ban Black Sororities and Fraternities on the grounds of extreme wokeness
I would not be surprised to read the headline above sometime. The hate monster needs constant feeding. In the meantime, while we wait for that once unthinkable headline to become reality, did you see the Florida Nazi’s screaming threats at the Jewish residents of Volusia County? Just free speech as far as DeSantis is concerned. Gov. […]

Coons will still fucking go on Fox News. You know he will. The guy just loves being Mr. Important. He loves being he guy with important bi-partisan insights cherished by all news outlet – even the news outlet that is not a news outlet but the propaganda arm of the GOP. @MattGertz Rupert […]
