You've Got to Be Kidding?

The Associated Press reports that during a protest organized by Native American advocacy group “ The Red Nation” to stop the relocation of a statue of brutal conquistador Juan de Oñate to outside an official county building in northern New Mexico, a 23-year-old man in a red MAGA cap named Ryan Martinez pulled out a gun and opened fire on the crowd, wounding one man.   Martinez then fled the scene in a “white Tesla” but was soon apprehended by sheriff's deputies. Great, so now we have “pro-conquistador” terrorists?  Who knew?   Now, I’m sure his MAGA attorneys will try and argue that this is all nothing but a “false flag” and that the real perpetrator was a George Soros-financed ANTIFA radical in a MAGA costume.   Of course, the success of that defense is a bit of a longshot, given all those cameras Teslas have onboard.   Hell, his entire getaway was probably recorded in living color and 4K. But seriously?  A MAGA terrorist actually fled the scene of a right-wing political shooting

After creating a disturbance and getting escorted out of the theater during a presentation of “Beetlejuice,” Lauren Boebert went on the Jesse Watters Fox News program to do her penance after being captured acting like an immature high school brat on theater security footage.   In her interview, Boebert assured Watters that she wasn't drunk but just really “into the show” and that she's “learned her lesson.”   She then added, "It is my responsibility to bring levity to my constituents' lives, never gravity.   Never should my action burden those who I represent, ah, so, ah, I will, ah, work, ah to only bring levity to them and, ah, try to bring as many solutions as possible.” Gee, wonder if Boebert has any idea what “levity” actually means?  Hell, only Lauren Boebert could think her job is to “bring levity to her constituents' lives.”   So, she thinks voters sent her to Congress to make them laugh?   Now, I don’t know about her constituents, but I do have to admit s

In a tense exchange with CBS Evening News’ Norah O’Donnell, Florida Gov. and Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis said he wouldn't rule out launching missiles into Mexico to combat drug cartels shipping drugs into this country if elected president.   This wasn’t the first time DeSantis has threatened the use of military force against Mexico.   At the presidential debate in August, DeSantis said he would send U.S. special forces over the border.   When asked if troops would be allowed to shoot migrants crossing the border, the governor said: “A woman carrying a baby would not be the focus, but when somebody’s got a ‘backpack on,’ and they’re breaking through the wall, you know that’s hostile intent, and you have every right to take action under those circumstances.” Wait, the little Floridian dictator said what?   Now, let’s see.   So far, DeSantis has declared war on teachers teaching history, LGBTQ+ folks, drag queens, free speech, women’s healthcare, educational instituti

During a segment on Fox News, while discussing climate change, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) made the claim that the world is not really facing a climate crisis and that it is all just so much hysteria based on “bad science.”   He further claimed that alarmists were "ignoring the impact of clouds to basically act as a heatsink."   Then, without missing a beat, he astonishingly proceeded to claim “windmills are killing the whales.” Wow, the nation’s dumbest senator said what?  Clouds will stop climate change?   Makes sense, just like umbrellas will stop it from raining.   So, if it’ll be clouds that’ll stop climate change, I guess that would explain why Johnson spends so much time in his backyard in his underwear yelling up at the clouds.   Frankly, the only way I can imagine Johnson’s cloud scenario possibly working would be if Johnson were to release that massively dense, dark cloud that inhabits most of the interior of his skull. Of course, Johnson’s Republican pals will natur

Wisconsin Republicans are threatening to impeach newly elected liberal state Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz, even though she hasn’t as yet heard even a single case.   Republican legislators are demanding she recuse herself from any and all cases where she might have at one time expressed a general opinion on a subject or face impeachment.   This is a rather interesting position, given that many of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s conservative justices were “anti-abortion activists” before being elevated to the court. Oh, wait!  Now I get it.   Wisconsin Republicans want Justice Protasiewicz to be more like Trump’s US Supreme Court nominees - who never once even “ thought about overturning Roe v. Wade” before their nominations to the court.   And that’s why a “women’s right to choose” is still safe and legal throughout the country, and “Roe” is still the law of the land today. Besides, we all know this Janet Protasiewicz person is only sitting on the Wisconsin Supreme Court beca

On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson decided he’d give a platform to a guy named Larry Sinclair to resurrect an old tale of his in which he claimed to have had a sexual encounter with Barack Obama.  Sinclair told Tucker Carlson he met Obama in a bar back in 1999, adding that he gave Obama $250 to pay for cocaine and that afterward, they had gay sex while Obama smoked crack. Gee, now there have been one helluva lot of insane conspiracy theories Tucker has spun over the years, but I have to admit, I did not have this one on my Bingo card.  That said, who could seriously doubt a story from this guy?  I mean, take a look at the dude.  How could Obama resist this hottie - especially with all those missing teeth?  Why this guy could be a role model for “Dental Positivity.” What’s rather odd is Sinclair claims this all happened way back in 1999.  Now, how could that possibly be?  Wasn’t Obama still a resident of Kenya back then?  Didn’t Donald Trump prove that with his team of “crack” private eyes he s

Trump’s Financially Troubled ‘Truth Social’ Facing Key Funding Deadline A complex deal to take Donald Trump’s social-media platform Truth Social public faces a crucial test next week that could determine whether it becomes a multibillion-dollar company that the former US president once vowed would stand up to “big tech,” or just languish in financial limbo.  Trump’s Truth Social network’s “blank check” ally Digital World Acquisition, once considered a stock-market star, is now just days away from potential total liquidation. Ah, what shame!  It seems Humpty Trumpty is falling down.  Now, a lot of people will claim Donald Trump is totally useless, but I disagree.  They all seem to forget there are two things Trump does extremely well - spending other people's money and conning morons.  They say suckers are “born” every minute - and Trump is right there in the nursery to reel them in.  That said, you didn’t exactly have be Nostradamus to figure out how this grift would end. You’d
