Ted Cruz knew. Lindsey Graham knew. Marco Rubio knew. Rand Paul knew. Kellyanne Conway knew. Mike Pompeo knew. Nikki Haley knew. Glenn Beck knew. Rick Perry knew. Susan Collins knew.
Imagine admitting to the world that you have no integrity whatsoever.
The next time you hear any of these jellyfish talk in support of Trump, realize whom you’re listening to–a gutless coward who would sell his own mother for a handful of votes.
Below is the heart of the discussion I have frequently with people re: the pandemic.
Apparently, the math here is hard for some folks to get.
Once understood, however, it’s easy to understand the unacceptable consequences of what the “open the economy” crowd is demanding. (more…)
The Marquis de Sade once mused, “What are all the agonies of everyone on Earth, compared to a single one of my pleasures?” That’s the level of criminal psychosis required to be the type of person Chomsky is discussing here.
There are people, and they tend to rise to power at an alarming rate, to whom the well-being of others means precisely nothing.
One of them has orange hair and cheats at golf.
When the Greenland Ice Sheet melts, and, according to this article, it’s beyond the point of no return, the oceans will rise approximately 20 feet. Now this may take thousands of years, but check out this excerpt: (more…)
As shown here, it’s possible for top-level Republicans to say literally anything they like and not be ridiculed by the Trump base.
Trump’s results? Let’s think about that, and consider how he’s led this nation in terms of the pandemic, unemployment, trade wars, race relations, respect from other countries, toughness on dictators, humane treatment of children, healthcare, environmental protection, cabinet stability, trade deficit, the national debt, small businesses, honesty, rule of law, military justice, public education, draining the swamp of felons, nuclear de-escalation, and police reform.
Not that I care, but how’s that wall coming along?
24.6 million people watched Joe Biden’s speech last night, and a great number of those viewers believed when they tuned in that they were about to see a blithering, senile old fool. Over the past couple of months, I have heard several people repeating the same propaganda line: “Even if he’s elected, how could he possibly complete his term in office when his mental health is so feeble?”
For just under 25 minutes, Biden was articulate, steady, forceful, and on-message. Even Fox News admitted his talk was a “home run.”
So here’s a question: How did all these people feel by the end of the speech? They had seen the videos of Biden stammering, each carefully stitched together to make the candidate appear to be doddering and failing. How did they deal with the fact that they had been completely deceived?
I honestly don’t know, but I do know that if it were I in that position, I would be angry–yes, at the propagandists, but probably more with myself, for being so gullible.
Question: What’s shown in the photo here?
Most of us are a bit frustrated when we see public figures profiting from the lunacy of today’s world, especially when it is so obviously and so purely corrupt.
Maybe that’s based on one of a seemingly infinite supply of news items. Perhaps you’re cheesed off that the United States Postmaster General, the chief executive officer of the United States Postal Service, while aggressively destroying the post office, holds a huge interest in the institution’s competition. He also functions as a huge donor to the president’s re-election campaign that will be well served by shutting down mail-in ballots. (more…)
I hope readers will take a peek at the meme here, and ask themselves why this is.
There are probably several reasons, but I speculate two things: (more…)
Solar and wind produce 12% of the energy the U.S. consumes, according to this report, a figure that has doubled in the last five years. Teaming up with nuclear, the three carbon-free sources of power are steadily replacing coal. Coal generation dropped a record-breaking 8.3 percent in the first half of 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.
This is happening, but will it happen in time? (more…)
