From the meme here: Now the American people know that you (Barr) are no different from Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conway…..

Sorry, but there is a huge difference.  Both Giuliani and Conway are liars and buffoons, but the former is his personal attorney and the latter is a spokesperson.  Their allegiance, disgusting as it may be, is to Trump personally.

Barr, by contrast, was trusted to be a servant of the American people.  He has sworn to protect and defend the United States Constitution, an oath he’s blatantly violated dozens if not hundreds of times in his attempts to enable his boss Trump to escape justice and continue to commit the most brazen crimes with impunity.

Giuliani and Conway are revolting people; Barr, on the other hand, is a traitor to the United States of America.  Whether or not he resigns, he needs to be indicted, tried, convicted and imprisoned.

A reader notes: Hilariously delusional—even for Trump.

NO! It wasn’t Barr! It was ME!

Sure, I have a blog that boasts a reasonable amount of traffic, but that’s not what got the job done.  I worked feverishly with my elves in 67 counties in Pennsylvania alone, not to mention the mischief we wrought in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona.

Blaming it on Barr.  What hogcrap.  Bwah-hah-hah.

This pic features a sticker on the rear window of a neighbor’s car.

A great deal is being said about the chasm that grows even larger between the teachings of Christ and the workings of American society in the 21st Century, one that features people dying of treatable diseases, children in cages, 22 million kids going hungry, and a last-minute push for as many federal executions as possible, preferably via hanging, the electric chair, the gas chamber and firing squad.

I don’t think Jesus would be too impressed.

History may have featured worse people overall: Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Vlad the Impaler, Ivan the Terrible, Torquemada, and the rest.  But we’ve never seen, nor are we likely ever to see, a more vulgar, tawdry pig in a position of such power.

It’s clear that the folks at the top of the food chain in the United States will not give the majority of Americans what they want, i.e., a similar socioeconomic system to that found in Europe.  At this point, this country is no closer to Medicare for all than it is to colonizing Mars.  (more…)

A few years ago, the U.S. congress was considering a carbon cap and trade proposal that would mitigate climate change, but it was fiercely opposed by American farmers.  Led by a lobby that had told them that they would face higher prices for commodities like fertilizer, they stormed Washington with hats that read “Don’t Cap Our Future.” Accordingly, the measure failed.

Someday soon, coal-fired power plants will have completely disappeared, at least here in the U.S.  That’s good, but while this transition is taking place, what’s being done to ensure that the soon-to-be defunct companies that operate the mines take responsibility for cleaning up the mess they left behind?

As anyone could have predicted, decades of inaction by coal-friendly regulators in the 30 state governments that were host to mining operations has left us, the American citizenry, in grave danger to toxins leaking into our environment for centuries to come.

We’ve all seen the claim that Trump is going to run for president again in 2024.  Though one should never say never, here are a few questions we must ask ourselves:

• Is this his real intention, or is it a thinly veiled attempt to fleece more supporters to raise cash for his legal defenses, before indictments start to rain from the sky and this whole act is revealed for the sham it is? (more…)

Tasmania, Australia’s island state to the south of its mainland, best known to most American baby-boomers for its cartoon personality pictured here, has declared itself to be 100% powered by renewable energy, in this case hydro and wind.

So what’s the point?  That if Tasmania (population 515K) can do it, anyone can?  Of course not.  Yet it’s worth acknowledging that efforts toward noble causes generally have good results, and, in this case, a state the size of South Carolina will never use another molecule of fossil fuel (or uranium) in its electricity production.

Let’s begin with Poe’s law, which is an “adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.” (more…)
