Republicans Align with Russia
Russia wants Ukraine back. (And I’m sure, England wants the 13 colonies back.)
Neither is going to happen, but that doesn’t prevent the Republican party from backing Putin and standing against the free world.

“Woke Razors?”
The ad here reads: “Jeremy’s Razors isn’t for liberal white women. It’s for men. Conservative men.”
I would change “conservative men” to “extremely stupid, gullible, easily manipulated men.”
Seriously, I’m a marketing guy too, and I understand the need to position my client’s product according to the unmet needs of the target market. I just find it hard to believe that, unless the average member of that target market has the IQ of a head of lettuce, he’s actually looking for a razor that has some sort of ultra-right-wing political standing.
From the Washington Post: Rudy Giuliani Disbarred in D.C. for His Role in Election 2020 Subversion
From the article: The D.C. Court of Appeals agreed with a disciplinary committee that found Giuliani’s challenges to the 2020 election results “utterly false” and “recklessly so.”
Now an interesting question arises. Suppose you’re a Fox News viewer and you’ve been convinced that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. Do you now believe that the entire justice system, along with the District of Columbia Bar Association, is corrupt?
Or maybe it’s time to give up on the most obvious of the lies, and turn your attention to something real. Perhaps Kamala Harris is a Marxist and an asset of the Chinese Communist Party.
Republicans Coming Out for Harris, But What Does this Mean?
Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen hundreds of top Republicans come forward and say essentially what Mesa, Arizona mayor John Giles said here: it would be a huge mistake to re-elect Donald Trump, given his moral failings and mental health issues.
The question, of course, is what this means to the MAGA base. Mesa is the third most populous city in the state, and its people are generally well educated, thus it’s going to go for Harris anyway. But suppose you live in a rural part of the state and the nearest college graduate is 50 miles away. Are you going to change your position based on what some sissified city liberal says?
At a Chick-Fil-A
I actually didn’t need another good reason to stay out of Chick-Fil-A, but it looks like I got one nonetheless.

Project 2025 and Climate Change Denial
One of the many casualties of Project 2025 will be NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its subsidiary, the National Hurricane Center. The motive for dismantling NOAA? It’s “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.”
However, as one might suspect, all this comes at a huge cost. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 million people who live in hurricane-prone areas of the southeastern part of the United States whose property–and very lives–are endangered by these storms each year. Project 2025 will shut them off from the information that could keep them safe.
What we’re seeing here is quite typical of Trump: a reckless disregard for Americans’ well-being and a disdain for science itself.

Autocracy
Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen probably wrote the content of the meme here as it applies to the Russian people under Putin.
Americans need to hope that it has no real applicability to their lives here in the United States.
In truth, this could go in either direction.

“Weird” Isn’t the Word We’re Looking For
The meme here is from a reader (who misspelled “tantrums.”)
If I were a Democratic political strategist, I wouldn’t be trying to pin the concept of “weirdness” on Donald Trump and JD Vance.
That’s because, if we’re being honest with ourselves, we’re all weird in some way. To be weird is to be nonconforming. Are men who cry weird? Are people who don’t have televisions weird?
The problem with Trump and Vance is that they are profoundly hateful and dishonest people. They have no regard for basic moral principles, and they’re aware that most of what they claim is patently untrue.
Driving an EV Won’t Make the Need for Gasoline Disappear Immediately, But Isn’t that Obvious?
The author of the meme here seems to be suggesting that driving an EV while the world is still transitioning away from gasoline is hypocritical.
That doesn’t show much insight or intelligence.
Yes, maybe his house has a gas generator for backup power (or perhaps he’s getting gas for his tractor). Is there something wrong with that?

GOP: A Cult without Principles
The former chairman of the Maine Republican party understands the profound and tragic changes that the GOP has undergone, and its current status as a cult of dishonesty.
Fortunately, a great many other Republicans have had that precise realization.
