You've Got to Be Kidding?

Salon.com is reporting that right-wing, gun-toting, Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, who was recently exposed for not reporting nearly $1 million her husband Jayson Boebert made over the past two years from “energy consulting,” has also been hiding the fact her husband pled guilty to "public indecency and lewd exposure” for exposing himself to two minors at a Colorado bowling alley back in 2004.   An incident that actually took place. while she was present.   Jayson Boebert was sentenced by the court to four days in jail, and given two years probation. Gee whiz, sounds like her husband may actually be an even bigger creep than she is.  Why, given those credentials, maybe it’s Jayson who should be representing Colorado’s 3rd district.  So, let’s see here, we have a guy who has minimal education, and an arrest record for lewd exposure to a minor - pulling in over $400k a year for sharing his “consulting expertise?”  Sounds perfectly legit to me. But, co...

After being relieved of his duties and slated to be ushered out of the Marine Corps for posting an online video questioning senior military officials while in uniform and rank insignia, disgraced Marine Lt. Colonel Stuart Scheller posted a more recent video, with a chess set in front of him, issuing the threat “You have no idea what I’m capable of doing.”   Col. Scheller then continued with a series of additional thinly-veiled threats, warning about a secret society called the “Bellwether Alliance,” and urging people to “Follow me and we will bring this whole fucking system down.” Now, say what you want, but I can relate to how this guy feels, because this is exactly how I felt the other day at Costco, when they asked me to show my club card.  Why, I thought, “you don't know what I'm capable of.”  The thing is, we all have to find that place to take our stand, and - because it was such a hot day, I figured I’d make mine over by the frozen foods. So you see, when you ...

A recent study conducted by Pew Research Center, surprisingly found that 85% of atheists believe there’s a good possibility there could be life on other planets, as compared to only 40% of “white evangelicals.”   That said, most atheists expressed doubt that aliens have actually attempted to make "meaningful contact” with us. I can definitely see their point.  I mean, the thought of aliens coming all the way from outer space, just to abduct a few rednecks from their trailers and conduct anal probes on them, can hardly be considered "meaningful contact.”  That said, I’m sure most rednecks would strongly disagree and argue that you can’t seriously talk about “meaningful contact,” if you’re not gonna include any “anal probing!” The thing is, even if there were intelligent life on planets like those circling our closest star Proxima Centauri, its doubtful they’d want to make contact yet, as they’d probably wanna finish binge-watching all those “I Love Lucy” shows we’ve b...

Never straying far from his promotion of the “Great Replacement Theory,” which claims “leftist politicians are trying to replace white Americans with immigrant people of color,” Tucker Carlson tried to make sure his white nationalist followers remain vigilant, by warning viewers this week that if Afghan refugees are allowed to settle in this country, they will attempt to enact Sharia law in America!   While Tucker did concede that the Afghans have some “good people,” he cautioned that they are “very different” from most Americans.” So, last week we had Tucker and the Republicans complaining about how “Joe Biden has abandoned those poor, poor Afghans!”  Then, come this week, they’re screaming "Don't let those dirty Muslims into our country” and “they’re coming to rape our daughters!”  Really, because statistically, those daughters actually have much more to fear from their church clergyman, than they do from any immigrants fleeing persecution.  Anyway, if I’m under...

The New York Times reports that the National Rifle Association (NRA) announced it will be canceling its annual meeting in Houston, after NRA leaders consulted with medical professionals, local officials, and sponsors over concerns about the rising number of COVID cases, fueled by the Delta variant in the area. Gee, you mean to tell me that the NRA is suddenly becoming concerned about people dying?  Could Wayne LaPierre and his henchmen be going soft?  I doubt it, more likely gun manufacturers just don’t feel confident enough to try and compete with a very deadly virus - in a killing contest.  NRA bosses probably feel that by canceling the convention, they’ve “dodged a bullet.” Personally, I don’t see any reason to cancel the meeting.  Why, I haven’t seen any evidence that a handgun or an assault rifle can come down with the coronavirus.  Besides, with all those guns around in the hands of who knows who, it shouldn’t be all that difficult getting shot in the ar...

Citing exhaustion and frustration with the barrage of unvaccinated patients in their care, seventy-five doctors from various hospitals in South Florida staged a protest over their hospitals being flooded with willfully unvaccinated COVID patients, making it nearly impossible to treat anyone else.  In response, right-wing talk show host Ben Shapiro warned that if these doctors have their way about who gets treated, the next thing you know, they’ll be coming for “the obese.” Oh, my gosh!  Now, I see exactly what Ben’s trying to warn us about.  Why, it’s the old adage “First, they came for the Big Macs, and I said nothing…” all over again.  I can just hear all those MAGA Trump supporters shouting their new mantra at the top of their lungs “They’ll have to pry that Big Mac from my cold, dead, big, fat, ugly, greasy fingers!” Anyway, speaking of obesity, about the only real difference between MAGA Trump supporters, the Proud Boys, right-wing militia groups, and the ...

When gun-toting Lauren Boebert was running for Congress last year, she traced all her income to “Shooters Grill,” a restaurant she and her husband own in Rifle, Colo., failing to mention (as required by law) that her husband made nearly $1 million over the past two years from “energy consulting” for a company named Terra Energy Productions.   Shortly after arriving in Congress, Boebert promptly introduced a bill that would bar the president from issuing moratoriums on oil and gas leasing and permitting on some federal land.   Boebert claims the failure to report the “consulting” income was simply an “oversight.” Speaking of oversight, it sure seems like there’s more “oversight” for prospective Uber drivers, than someone running for Congress these days.  I mean, it’s one thing to forget to report a sum like a few hundred bucks or so, but to completely “forget" about a million dollars you pocketed in just two years?  Why, that’s a helluva lotta “forgetting,” if you as...
