Re: Clarence Thomas: D’s Are Total Wusses. The usual suspects doing the usual thing. Nothing: Given his wife’s role in encouraging the effort to overturn the election that culminated in the awful events of that day, Clarence Thomas should obviously recuse himself from any case having to do with Jan. 6.

Money For Nothin’. The coming-together of Carney’s brain-dead ‘budget-smoothing’, the lack of virtually any guardrails on that windfall of Federal money, and the cynicism of the Delaware General Assembly.

The Trumpiest Item Of The Day. Yep, he’s negotiating with the Saudis for them to underwrite at least two yu-u-u-ge golf tourneys at his ailing clubs. The golfers? Multi-millionaires who don’t think they’re getting paid enough by the PGA. Headed by Greg Norman, who uses the typical ‘I’m not a politician’ line to justify forming […]

Time To Crack Down On Methane ‘Ultra-Emitters’. Satellite technology now enables us to spot these polluters. We have the technology to do something about it. A growing constellation of methane-detecting satellites is giving researchers new and disturbing insights into “super emitters” around the globe — from pipelines in Russia to North America’s oil fields. But […]

MAGAts Call Trump A Wuss. What kind of would-be insurrectionist doesn’t rally his supporters in their time of need?: Edward Jacob Lang, a 25-year-old from upstate New York charged with assaulting a police officer with a bat, made his last-ditch, Trump-focused cry for help during a Wednesday evening interview with far-right personality Stew Peters. “You […]

‘Kyle Rittenhouse And The New Era Of Political Violence’. Might as well go back and place the burgeoning movement featuring Rittenhouse and like-minded individuals in context. Add to that blatantly-biased judges, and the notion of justice in America is more besmirched than ever, at least in recent times. Yet another supporter of armed ‘self defense’ […]

Floridians Turning Against DeSantis? Signs point to yes: Covid infection rates continue to climb as the state faces shortages of health care staff, morgue space and even oxygen for patients. About 16,000 people are hospitalized. Child infection rates have shot up. School districts — even in Republican strongholds — have rebelled against DeSantis’ anti-mask mandates. […]

Why would a guy, a Florida governor let’s say, dissuade people from getting vaccines or wearing masks, but go all-out on a treatment for people once they come down with Covid? Why do you think? Um…could it be that his second-biggest political donor owns a big chunk of the treatment company? Didn’t have to turn […]
