You've Got to Be Kidding?

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison Thursday in the first punishment to be handed down for “seditious conspiracy” in the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.   Speaking to the court before his sentencing, Rhodes, who actually has a JD from Yale (Doctor of Jurisprudence), told the court that his only crime was "opposing those who are destroying our country" and contrasting the Oath Keepers with Antifa, who "will throw bleach, urine, and other substances you don't want in your eyes.”   Then adding, “Antifa will stab people,” before portraying his conviction as part of a left-wing plot that included the Biden administration, the media, and anti-fascist activists. Yes, but other than that, I'm pretty sure he feels remorseful about everything. Now, not to be critical, but I’m guessing after a speech like the one he gave in court, he’s unlikely to be someone who gets released early for “good behavior.”  Of course, for those deepl

At a recent House Oversight hearing on drug prices, Boebert told a personal story about her access to contraception, saying, "I left a prescription at a pharmacy once," she recalled. "I went to get birth control, and I was there at the counter and went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high. I said, wow, is this a three or six-month prescription? 'No, ma'am, this is one month.’" "And I said, it's cheaper to have a kid," the lawmaker added. "And I left it there, and now I have my third son." Gee whiz, I’ll bet that story makes her “third son” feel really great about himself.  She does feed her kids, right?   Am I right?   Now let’s see here, data shows that raising a child in a middle-income family in the US costs about $288,610.   I mean, what the hell pharmacy was she going to - for crying out loud?   It must have been on Rodeo Drive? Now, we all knew Boebert was a high school dropout, but this person is seriously bad at m

The Washington Post reports that while Republicans claim they only want to keep “harmful” material away from children, new state laws are quickly being passed in Red States that will permit criminal prosecution of school and library personnel.   So far, at least seven states have passed such laws, with 12 more considering similar “Thought Police" crackdowns where librarians could face years of imprisonment and tens of thousands in fines for simply having books someone considered to be “obscene” or “harmful” to children on their shelves. Of course, when Repubs say they “want to keep ‘harmful’ material away from children,” that wouldn’t include guns.  Let us not forget that in this country - school children have a “God-Given Right” to die in a mass shooting.   Why in 2022 alone, we had approximately 650 mass shootings, with more than 44,000 people dying from gun violence overall.   Well, Republicans aren’t dumb and immediately concluded that means they had better start passing laws

According to the Colorado Sun , US Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Co) is filing for divorce from her husband, Jayson Boebert, issuing a statement that "it is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband" and "am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult. This is truly about irreconcilable differences.” Wait, the mother who sends out Christmas cards showing her and her children armed to the teeth with assault weapons is doing what?  Good grief!   This announcement comes right on the heels of her chief rival for Trump’s attention - Marjorie Taylor Greene - announcing she is getting divorced also.   What’s happening to the party of “Family Values?”   I’ll bet George Soros, Hunter Biden, and Antifa have somet

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has just signed Senate Bill 1580, the “Protections of Medical Conscience,” into law, allowing Florida healthcare providers and insurance companies to refuse services based on their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs.   That’s right, folks; patients in Florida will soon be facing denial of care or insurance payment for almost anything if some medical professional or insurance company claims they have a moral objection.   You know, like if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, or perhaps you’re of the wrong religion or political beliefs, or maybe you’re an “unwed mother.” Holy shit, who the hell lobbied for this bill, anyway?  The Undertakers?   Talk about “Death Panels!”   I mean, only Florida and Gov. DeSantis could turn Doctors practicing the cherished “Hippocratic Oath” into a bunch of “Hypocritic Oafs.”   Of course, insurance companies are all in for this new law.   Turns out they’re “morally opposed” to any medical procedure which might cost them money.  

The Washington Post reports that investigators say the gunman who opened fire on an outlet mall in a Dallas suburb on Saturday, killing at least eight people, had an apparent fascination with white supremacist or neo-Nazi beliefs that are now being examined by investigators as a possible motive for the attack.   While a motive has not yet been released, authorities say a patch on the killer’s chest that reads “RWDS” is an acronym for Right Wing Death Squad.   This is the second mass killing in Texas in just a week.   Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Keith Self, who represents Allen, Texas, appeared on CNN and offered more "thoughts and prayers.”   When CNN's Paula Reid pointed out that “most Americans demand more concrete actions,” an offended Rep. Self claimed that “those are just people who don’t believe in almighty God, who is absolutely in control of our lives.” Okay, but if its actually almighty God who is “absolutely in control of our lives,” then how come everything seems to

The Daily Beast reports that Marjorie Taylor Greene is disgusted that websites like “ Pornhub” exist and even more “horrified” that Hunter Biden may have used them.   During her keynote address at Ohio’s Putnam County “Lincoln Reagan Dinner,” Marjorie Taylor Greene discussed at length her discovery of adult film sites like Pornhub.  She told the crowd that “There is a website, you may or may not have heard about it - called Pornhub ,” Greene said.   “It is a disgusting porn website.   As a matter of fact, it should be illegal. I don’t even know why it exists.”   A disgusted Greene also claimed that “porn” will lead to the “Global downfall of manliness.”   Greene then claimed that the “only reason” she had become such an expert in adult videos is because of Hunter Biden and a laptop computer that once belonged to him, adding that she recently found out that Hunter Biden had “multiple accounts on this Pornhub , pornography, sex website,” prompting her outrage. Wait, the QAnon lady said
