Thank you for your service, sergeant
This Memorial Day, let us take time to honor the fallen and all who served. Thank you, Sgt. Nicholas Ranstad, for your service, including a combat tour in Afghanistan. As a disabled veteran, he had so many problems with V.A. health care, he now chooses private health care over free V.A. health care.[...]
All these chickens are under arrest!
The Libertarians held their 2024 nominating convention in Washington D.C. on Saturday, May 26, 2024. They invited Biden, Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but only Trump and Kennedy showed up. Trump was accompanied by a Secret Service detail. Trump isn’t popular with the Libertarians. Or with [...]

Lara Trump, RNC co-chair and daughter-in-law, complained “debates are always ‘rigged so heavily’ in President Biden’s favor,” The Hill reported on May 16, 2024 (read story here). Of course they are. Biden ate Trump’s lunch in 2020 and will in 2024. Trump is weak on i[...]

Sen. Mitt Romney (aka Pierre Delecto, pictured at left; for explanation, go here) declared Biden “should have pardoned Donald Trump on all federal criminal charges the moment they were announced,” The Guardian reported (here) on May 15, 2024. This should instantly strike you as anomalous (it did[...]
“Can Biden draw a crowd like this?”
Said GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone after posting the photo below. Personally, I doubt it; the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Rod Stewart concert (depending on which you think this is) were more popular than Biden is (see story here). And Stone isn’t fooling anybody by flipping the image (see ph[...]
