Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s. She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden. The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.” There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed. In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls. Okay, so now let me get this straight. A young Mexican female was thrown into prostituti

Jury Finds LaPierre and NRA Diverted Millions in NRA Donations to Personal Use

A New York jury found that Wayne LaPierre, who led the NRA for three decades, squandered millions on exotic vacations, private jets, and expensive clothes. The jury said he was liable for $5.4 million in damages. Jurors also determined that the NRA failed to include or misrepresented information in tax filings and broke New York law by not adopting a whistleblower policy. Wow, what a shame something like this can happen to a guy like Wayne LaPierre. A guy who has given so much…in brides - to Republican politicians. Now, LaPierre explained in court that he needed to use private jets for safety reasons and the 108-foot yacht as a “security retreat.” Gee, and here all the time, we thought all those folks needed for security was just a “good guy with a gun.” Who knew? Oh, well, I guess its like the old saying goes, “From your “cold dead hands - into my wallet.” You see, with all that money coming in, LaPierre thought he’d pull a “Trump,” but then folks got wise - and instead, it tur

Trump Now Peddling Gold Sneakers

At a rally this past weekend in Philadelphia, Donald Trump received quite a mixed reaction to his announcement that he’s now going to be selling “$399 Gold Sneakers” to his adoring fans, which surprisingly set off quite a bit of booing from his usually faithful audience. Ever the snake oil showman, Trump tried to dismiss all the boos by simply saying, “Wow, there is a lot of emotion in this room.” Oh my! You mean after all the fines and losses in court, Trump has now been demoted from billionaire to shoe salesman? And you say he’s been selling sneakers that look like they’ve been spray-painted gold? Why, “ bless his sole !” Now, in his defense, word has been spreading around greater Trumpistan, that these golden sneakers are especially comfortable for those who may be suffering from those pesky “ bone spurs .” Gee, wonder where Trump’s getting his inventory from, anyway? Naturally, we all know Trump can instantly tell he tell where to get the best “golden showers,” but who

Trump Ordered by Jury to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million

In his second trial in less than a year on the matter, a civil jury in Manhattan took only three hours to decide that disgraced former President Trump must pay $83.3 million in punitive and compensatory damages to rape victim and writer E. Jean Carroll in a drama that began in the dressing room of a New York City department store back in 1995. Gee whiz, $83 million? Seems it turns out that even “when you're a star, they don't always let you do it.” Anyway, so the Orange God used his big fat mouth to talk his way out of a $5 million judgment - and right into an $83 million judgment. Now, that really takes some skill! Talk about “The Art of the Deal!” I’m totally impressed. Why, its almost as if Mr. Trump and his militant, useless attorney don’t fully comprehend the basic point of “punitive damages.” I mean, at this point, Trump defames Ms. Carroll so frequently, she’s almost gonna need to put up an electronic signboard to alert the court about Trump’s latest attacks

DeSantis Campaign Folds Like a Cheap Suit

With a video message and a fake quote from Winston Churchill that actually turned out to be a line from a 1930s Budweiser beer ad campaign, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his Republican presidential campaign on Elon Musk’s far-right social media platform “X” by quoting, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” DeSantis concluded by stating, “It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” and he closed by giving Trump his full endorsement. So, DeSantis bowed out of the race by quoting an old Budweiser beer ad ? Now, I don’t like to sound critical, but about the only person I can think of who would be impressed by an old Budweiser ad - would be Justice Brett Kavanaugh. We all know Kavanaugh’s a guy who really likes his beer. Ironically, DeSantis’ primary super PAC was actually named “Never Back Down.” Better modify that to, “We won’t back down - we’ll just quit inst

Nikki Haley Claims ‘America’s Never Been A Racist Country’

After causing quite a stir a few weeks ago when she told an audience member that the Civil War was fought over “States Rights,” refusing to even mention slavery, Republican Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley continued raising eyebrows again this week when Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade asked her if she thought the Republican Party was racist or if America was a “racist country.” Astonishingly, Haley immediately said, “No! We’re not a racist country, Brian! We’ve never been a racist country.” Wow! The new “female Mike Pence” just said what? That said, and in all fairness, she may have just raised an interesting point here. I mean, other than the slavery, repressive Jim Crow laws, the systematic slaughter and expropriation of Native Americans from their land, the segregation, the lynchings, the laws against interracial dating and marriage, discrimination in housing, education, and hiring, the negative and condescending portrayal of people of color in the media, minority vo
