You've Got to Be Kidding?

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 fema...

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 co...

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 righ...

Its being reported Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert ran into each other in a Capitol bathroom, and got into a screaming match over multiple issues - including Boebert’s questionable loyalty to Speaker McCarthy.   Witnesses say Boebert was unaware that Greene was also in the bathroom, and was taken by surprise when Greene confronted her after hearing her voice.   The confrontation apparently ended with Boebert hightailing it out of the restroom while shouting at Greene, “Don’t be ugly!” Wow, how exciting!  Finally, another episode of “Middle School Mean Girls in Congress.”   Hell, we must be up to “Season 2” by now.   Anyway, I’m sure incidents like this are exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they envisioned our “Congress.”   Of course, some might claim Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, and Madison would be very shocked by this behavior.   Perhaps, but as far as I’m concerned, after Michelle Bachmann was appointed to the House “...

Well, it seems Don Jr. now has himself a seven-figure contract to do a podcast for “Rumble,” the cloud services business that is quite popular among America’s extreme-right crowd.   The service (Rumble) is currently most widely known for also hosting Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” platform.   Junior started things off by declaring “Judeo-Christian values are under attack,” and is sponsoring his podcast by selling “Made in America Bibles,” all the while claiming “I am both a former divinity student and a full-time podcaster.”   Two things that aren’t really true, but as George Santos might say, “who cares?” Hey, wait a minute - “American-Made Bibles?”   Now, exactly what the hell is that supposed to mean?   Is this Bible the new “King Donald Version?”   And, if so, is it written in sharpie?   Naturally, one would assume any Bible put out by a Trump, would be replete with scores of grammatical and spelling errors.   Oh well, no problem!   I mean...

In a prime-time address outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden warned that Americans can no longer afford to pretend that democracy isn't under assault, adding that Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are an extremist sect that is putting the U.S. in danger.   Biden went on to point out “History tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy.” In response, MAGA Republican talking heads like Tucker Carlson immediately took to the airwaves, attacking Joe Biden for giving a speech they labeled as “extremely divisive.”  Extremely divisive?  Oh, my word!  Where are the smelling salts and the fainting couch when you need them?  Well, what’s up with that, Brandon?  After all, everyone knows Republicans have always bent over backward to be cooperative and conciliatory. I mean, it isn’t as if Republicans have been repeatedly threatening judges, FBI agents, teachers, ...

Former Trump Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany's sister Ryann McEnany announced in a video on Twitter that she will soon be launching a new dating app, exclusively for MAGA conservatives which she calls “The Right Stuff.”   Ryann says the app will be “invite only,” and “there will be only two options, ladies and gentlemen,” so “you’ll never have to worry about pronouns.”   Women will not have to pay to use the app, but men will.   Ryann finished the ad by saying how sorry she was that MAGAs “had to endure years of bad dates with people who don’t see the world our way, the right way!” No kidding?  An actual dating app for MAGAs called “The Right Stuff?”  Gee, I can see their ad now, “Ladies, have you been looking for a man who truly believes you're inherently inferior, even if his IQ is only in the double digits?  Well, if you have, then you’ve come to the right place.  So, just sit back and relax, keep your mouth shut, and listen to whatever the hell h...
