Apparently, almost no Republicans are concerned about their party’s abrupt shift from conservatism to delusion.
A friend and I talked about this the other day, during which discussion she said that progressives don’t have a lock on truth. This, of course, is true. But I told her, “All these issues that are based on facts, rather than opinions, are either correct or incorrect. This is a law of logic formulated by Aristotle 2300 years ago (“non-contradiction”).

Here’s a Facebook post of an old friend.
I guess that means she’s an anti-vaxxer. And probably believes the pandemic is a hoax? So sad.
Even worse that she advertises it. It’s bad to be ignorant; it’s worse to be proud of it.
From Carl Sagan: “One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it’s all right not to know anything.”
Keith Olbermann nailed this, didn’t he?
Educated Americans share a deep loathing of Marjorie Taylor Green, her racist hatred, and her limitless ignorance.
Small wonder she wants people out of school.
Fox News personalities Pete Hegseth and Will Cain got all excited Wednesday about the South Carolina House of Representatives approving a bill that would add the firing squad as a method for executing people on death row.
Hegseth kicked off the discussion with a “callous” comment about how there are now three ways to die in the state if you are on death row. “Shoot ’em, stick ’em or fry ’em,” he said, referring in part to the electric chair, which is also used as a method of execution in South Carolina.
Callous? Shee-it. This is what Fox News provides its viewers: the glorification of human cruelty, the ridicule of compassion.
A Brilliant College Student (shown below) Builds a Device To Rid The World of Mosquitoes.
I like the claim here: “ridding the world of mosquitoes.” And I love how all these wonderful new devices are coming out of brilliant young people, army vets, frustrated home-owners, or whatever. (more…)
From Politico:
Embattled Rep. Matt Gaetz had a clear message to a friendly crowd Friday night at The Villages: He’s not going away.
“I’m a marked man in Congress. I’m a canceled man in some corners of the Internet. I might be a wanted man by the deep state. But I am a Florida man, and it is good to be home,” Gaetz proclaimed. “Today, we send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parties: America First isn’t going away. We’re going on tour.” (more…)
A reader commented on the photo here as follows: I wish he (Trump) could die.
I don’t.
Sure, he richly deserves punishment, but I care far more about the fate of this country than I do about the justice that is due to one person, albeit a walking force for pure evil. (more…)
When my kids were little, they used to adore In-N-Out.
Glad to see these folks are refusing to play the “starvation wages” game, one that blends human suffering with the injustice of supplemental nutrition paid for by the taxpayer.
From the PBS News Hour: Brazil formalized a criminal investigation last week into President Jair Bolsonaro’s response to the pandemic. It could lead to his impeachment. The country just passed 400,000 total fatalities so far, with no significant slowdown in sight. (more…)
Yesterday I mentioned this piece in Bloomberg that begins: Dominion Voting Systems Inc. blasted former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell for telling a judge that her claims about a vast election-fraud conspiracy were merely opinions in order to dodge the company’s $1.3 billion defamation suit repeatedly (even though she) had repeatedly and falsely claimed in public that she had proof Dominion rigged the 2020 election against Donald Trump, saying she could “hardly wait to put forth all the evidence” and that “you would have to be a damn fool” not to believe it.
