The cultural sensibilities of the state of Texas are unique, and this photo offers a good example of how that is.
God, country, liquor, bans on abortion and thought-provoking books, pride in the number of people they execute, and above all, plenty of guns.
The years that Jimmy Carter led our country were four of only a couple of dozen in its history when the United States wasn’t at war somewhere around the globe.
I doubt that was a coincidence.
Seriously.
I’m not sure I want a job with horrible pay, massive amounts of unpaid overtime, and the expectation I’ll pay for the supplies that formerly were part of the schools’ budget.
Moreover, I’m not sure I want Big Brother monitoring what I teach my students about American history, social studies, religion, and human sexuality. All the while, the most thought-provoking books are all banned.
Folks wanting to learn more about the day-to-day news on the investigation into Trump’s criminality, at least as far as it’s provided by Fox News, need to somehow believe that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland hasn’t the slightest iota of honor within him.
Garland’s “covering up!”
Political life in the United States has boiled down to a choice between believing that Donald Trump is a liar, or that the entirety of the U.S. Justice Department is corrupt. You pick.
The interview below regarding the criminal liability facing Rudy Giuliani is impressive. It shows that Georgia’s Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis, an acknowledged expert in the use of RICO as a prosecutorial tool, is on course to building our country’s largest “conspiracy against the United States” case in its history.
She’s issued 17 subpoenas. If all you want to see is Giuliani behind bars, do all these other people really need to be deposed under oath?
Yes, it’s a bizarre tale, but it’s one about a guy whose career was anything but strange until its very end. Fauci had devoted himself to public health, and gave us 50 years, his entire adult life, using the best of his knowledge base to keep Americans safe from epidemic diseases.
Next thing you know, the whole world, mind you, not just the United States, but all 206+ sovereign countries around the globe got hit with COVID-19 and its variants. Suddenly, the entire world of Fox News acolytes, the Alex Jones followers, and the QAnoners are now suddenly 100% convinced that the “good doctor” isn’t so good after all.
Is he a part of the Deep State? Has he teamed up with all the other world governments to enslave the Earth’s population? Does he work for the Democrats, supporting their efforts to remove the honest and brave President Trump? Is he an anti-capitalist, attempting to ruin the U.S. economy? Maybe he hates our Constitution and the liberties that it formerly provided to us all.
No one knows for sure, but what is absolutely certain is that Fauci is fiercely anti-American, and that his sole motive is crippling U.S. society. Could be pro-CRT and LGBTQ.
Well, Fauci will be gone in a few short months. Soon we’ll be back on our own, looking to crucify a new public health expert whose aim is to cripple the American way of life.
From Hamlet: What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!
Really? Trump supporters are “godlike” in their “apprehension?”
Here’s a thought from historian Will Durant, best known for his 11-volume series The Story of Civilization, written in the middle of the 20th Century.
It’s a horrifying thing to watch a nation whose government, designed to be “of, by, and for the people,” attacked from within by a man bent to usurping power from the American people. And, as Durant noted, it happens in the blink of an eye.
I don’t think anyone, even the people who voted for him twice, believe that Trump hires the “best” people in the sense of their being decent and honorable human beings. Roger Stone prides himself of his “dirty tricks.”
By the time this is over, it’s possible that many dozens of those who participated in the coup attempt (on top of perhaps 1000 foot-soldiers) will go up the river. Think not only of Trump, Eastman, Giuliani and the other top strategists, but all the fake electors who knowingly violated their oaths.
Identifying all these people as felons is one thing. Now it’s time to send them all to prison.
The reason I normally don’t make political contributions is that I don’t believe most of the claims being made in the candidates’ appeals.
Might the idiot Hershel Walker win in Georgia? No. Georgia is conservative, but they really don’t like pathologically lying morons.
Could the fascist Doug Mastriano prevail in Pennsylvania? Sorry. There is a lot of real estate between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, but not enough to elect another Ron DeSantis as PA’s governor.
I’m less familiar with the scene described at left in Wisconsin. Ron Johnson, one of the biggest ass****s in the nation, is the incumbent, and so I have to think he has a real chance to win another term.
For that reason, I’m thinking about sending Mandela Barnes a few bucks. The alternative is a Senate full of people who want to help Donald Trump overthrow the U.S. federal government, and I’m not too keen on that idea.
