Evangelical leader likes naked children

Jason C. Yates (photo below) is the founder and former CEO of My Faith Votes, which is “part of a loose network of nonprofit organizations rallying support for Donald Trump through get-out-the-vote operations.” In this video, he talks about “the freedom we have in Christ.” Ya[...]

PHOTOGRAPHY: Trump raised flag at Iwo Jima!

Trump has a vivid imagination (see story here), and so does the artist who painted the picture below. In real life, he’s a draft dodger who called World War 2 heroes “suckers and losers.” Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]

Trump assassination attempt 2.0

America has always been a violent country. Several presidents, candidates, and leading public figures have been assassinated, with attempts made on others including FDR and Reagan. What happened to Trump isn’t a historical outlier. It shouldn’t be this way. Political violence is bad for [...]

Republicans can’t have it both ways on guns

Austin Theriault, a Maine GOP legislator running for a U.S. House seat “as a champion of the Second Amendment,” called the sheriff in January 2023 because he saw a man carry an AR-15 rifle into his house, Huffington Post reported on Monday, September 9, 2024 (read story here). The police[...]

Stolen valor

Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, exaggerated his military service by saying he retired as a Command Sergeant Major (CSM), when he only served in that capacity but retired as a Master Sergeant, and carried “weapons of war … in war,” despite never having served in an act[...]

The backstory of “swiftboat” political attacks

John Kerry was infamously “swiftboated” when he ran for president in 2004. Usually, being a veteran is a plus in politics. “Swiftboating” (explained here) is a political tactic employed to neutralize that advantage, or turn it into a political liability. The term implies lyin[...]

Lara Trump lectures on DEI hiring

Trump’s daughter-in-law, whom he installed as Republican National Committee chair, claims Biden chose Harris as his running mate “based on how she looked, based on the fact that this is a woman, based on the fact that she was a minority woman.” Outraged, she said considering gender is “reall[...]

Vance lied about Walz’s military service

Kamala Harris’s running mate didn’t evade combat duty. Republicans are trying to “swiftboat” Tim Walz (the term is explained here), and Vance is their point man. He’s falsely claiming Walz timed his National Guard retirement to avoid deploying to Iraq. But Walz left the Guard to run f[...]

McConnell doesn’t like Biden’s Supreme Court reforms

Good. If he did, I’d be very suspicious. Sen. McConnell broke every rule of Senate collegiality when he blocked Obama’s appointee, using “it’s an election year” as an excuse, then jammed through another Trump appointee right before an election. McConnell engineered a co[...]

Is this man a “cat lady”?

In a now-viral rant back in 2021, when J. D. Vance dissed on “childless cat ladies,” he basically was saying childless people shouldn’t run the country because they have no stake in the future. This phrase has resurfaced in the 2024 campaign as a jibe against Kamala Harris and (oth[...]
