If you want to spend a couple minutes watching something that is totally fraudulent, let me offer you this pile of crap on solar energy.  This common criminal does not make a single statement that contains even the slightest element of truth.

It’s unclear how much weight Gaetz has on this matter.  On one hand, you have four-star generals, highly decorated for their intelligence, bravery, and integrity.  On the other hand you have a soon-to-be-indicted sex trafficker and anti-vaxxer.

Hmmmm.

There is a certain truth here, but I’m very gratified to hear what Neil Young et al. are doing vis-à-vis Spotify.

Anything that can be done to apply pressure to the purveyors of anti-science, especially when it’s this dangerous, should receive the support of every decent human being.

None of the Republicans seeking re-election who voted to impeach or convict former President Donald Trump was out-raised by a primary challenger last quarter.

Does this counter the notion of a huge victory for the GOP in November’s midterms? Is it a harbinger of a return to some level of sanity in U.S. politics?

Trump’s dominance in the party is either going to maintain its strength, or it’s going to collapse altogether.  As soon as a few more congresspeople in red states start to defect, an avalanche will follow–one that will leave Trump powerless, alone, and perhaps even more vulnerable to criminal prosecution than he is now.

This will create a stage on which Trump’s erstwhile supporters in Congress will need to answer to voters: Why did you stand behind this criminal conman?

Ouch.  That’s a tough question.

Yes, the world is divisive, and there are nuances associated with a great number of issues.  But here’s a fellow who provides a common sense-based formula to determine if we’re on the right or the wrong side.

Why is it that Finland is still the world’s happiest place (followed by Iceland and Denmark in the top 3 positions)?

Well, it’s likely that there are many factors, but let’s admit that an impoverished and vanishing middle class is not conducive to happiness.

The last 40 years has systematically moved wealth to the top 1%, at the expense of everybody else.  Do American voters care about this?  We’ll learn more in November.

Here’s another thing of beauty from Ken Burns, a man with an unsurpassed understanding of world history.

Doesn’t the banning of books scare the hell out of anyone who might have read Fahrenheit 451 or 1984?

If left to its own, the censoring of ideas dashes our hopes for a free and sustainable civilization.

It’s no secret that anti-vaxxers are putting everyone else at risk, and here’s someone who’s taking this quite seriously.  Good for him.

This type of pressure is the only mechanism that can possibly motivate those who reject science to comply with what it means to be a member of civilized society during a pandemic.  Let’s do what the U.S. military has done to protect its 1.3 million active duty personnel: remove those who refuse to be a part of fighting a life-threatening situation.

As we’ve discussed previously, this is representative of how completely stupid almost half this nation is, and how corrupt these congresspeople are.

If you’re wondering why there is massive resistance to vaccinations, climate change mitigation, etc., look no further.

Rand Paul wants campaign donations, writing: I’m officially announcing my campaign for reelection to serve the people of Kentucky – and the whole liberty movement – in the Senate for another term.

What a joke. I guess this hateful, ignorant BS works in KY. Try taking it to a state that isn’t in the bottom five in education/literacy, healthcare, and income.
