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 turned out what he actually did was take a “dump.”  Now, in his defense, one does have to admit that who could have possibly even guessed that using non-profit money for purchasing lavish mansions, $25,000 custom-tailored, three-piece suits, using private jets, and just lounging your days away on great big yachts could be considered a bad thing?


Ironically, it was Iran-contra ex-felon Oliver North who helped bring a lot of this misappropriation of non-profit NRA funds to light.  The thing is when folks like Oliver North have somehow become the voice of reason, you pretty much know things have just about hit rock bottom.  Why, word has it on the street that things inside the NRA have become so chaotic that its almost enough to make folks like Putin and the Russians wanna ask for those tens of millions back that they they funneled into the NRA to bribe Republican politicians.


Of course, it’s always been pretty damn obvious to everyone but half-witted, MAGA sycophants that the NRA is really just about all the money - and not really the Second Amendment as they claim. Even so, it sure seems like this time, Wayne LaPierre let his greedy ways end up shooting himself right in the foot.  That said, because this is only a civil suit and not a criminal trial, no one will be going to jail over any of this.  


Naturally, that’s gonna really piss off those pesky Libtards and start them wondering why stealing millions and millions in non-profit donations is not a criminal act?  Well, come on, now!  That’s easy enough to answer - because these folks are privileged, wealthy, white Republicans.  I mean, what else do you need to know?

Iowa Republicans Pass Bill to Repeal Child Labor Laws

The Republican-dominated Iowa Senate just passed a child labor bill that "allows 14-year-olds to work six-hour night shifts" and "allows 15-year-olds to work in plants on assembly lines moving items up to 50 pounds.”   In addition, “16 and 17-year-olds will now be permitted to serve alcohol.” Good grief!  Sounds like these fun-loving Republicans wanna make every day a “Bring your child to work day.”   Well, I suppose they figured all those fetuses that aren’t getting aborted - gotta have something to do.   “All aboard!   Next stop, the 19th century.”   Gee, I can hardly wait to see what’s next.   Indentured servitude, debtors' prisons, poor houses?   Hell, they may as well bring back the poor houses, given that its nearly impossible for regular folks to afford to buy a home or even rent an apartment these days. Anyway, now that Republicans have pushed this through, perhaps its time for patriarchal Christian fascists to begin working on other pet projects.  You know,

Study Finds Habitual Nose Pickers Have Greater Chance of Contracting COVID

Researchers in the Netherlands found in a new, peer-reviewed study of hospital workers that people who pick their noses habitually have a three times greater likelihood of contracting COVID than those who don’t.  Nearly 85% of those surveyed reported they picked their noses at least once in the previous month with varying frequencies. Gee, whiz!  Now that’s some interesting news!  Hell, now I'm all set for trivia night.  That said, and if I’m understanding this correctly, this study conclusively proved that “most hospital workers pick their noses.”  Who knew?  Now, if you ask me, the REAL NEWS here has nothing to do with COVID.  It’s that “a whole bunch of hospital workers actually admitted they pick their noses.” The funny thing is, there was a small group of those nose-pickers who were kind of bold about it all and proudly pointed out that, “The beauty of nose-picking is that each of us have two completely separate nasal cavities, so there’s never any waiting .”  When asked which

Trump Leads Chorus of Conservative Cheers Over US Women’s Soccer Loss to Sweden

Former President Donald Trump led a chorus of conservatives who cheered this past Sunday after the U.S. women's soccer team got knocked out of the World Cup by Sweden.   Posting on his “Truth Social,” Trump wrote, "The 'shocking and totally unexpected' loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden,” adding that "Many of our players were openly hostile to America - No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot, Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA.”   The “Megan” reference was about US star player Megan Rapinoe with whom Trump has maintained a long-running grudge after she refused to accept an invitation to see him in the White House after leading her team to victory in the Women's World Cup four years ago. Wait a minute!  The guy who has just racked up 78 felony charges against him - including trying to violently overthrow th
