Nikki Haley wants to “save America”
From what? Union wages? Women controlling their own bodies? Queer people? In a townhall on Sunday, June 4, 2023 (read story here), she wouldn’t get specific about abortion. Women voters are entitled to assume she would sign a nationwide ban, because that’s what Republicans are enacting [...]

D.C. has the best protests
Honking horns! sirens! confrontations! You can get that in lots of cities, but only Washington D.C. has a live streamer calling herself “Anarchy Princess” who marches in front of Jan. 6 sympathizers shouting into a megaphone: “Terrorists coming, watch out, there’s terrorists behind m[...]

The debt ceiling is a fake crisis
Wall Street never believed the U.S. would default; Congress isn’t that crazy. But somebody could miscalculate. The 2023 debt ceiling crisis will be a squeaker. The House passed the compromise that Speaker McCarthy and President Biden spent weeks negotiating; the Senate still must do so. It pr[...]
Alaska governor fires adviser for defending Hitler and marital rape
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) has an opening for a “pro-family” policy adviser. Jeremy Cubas (photo, left), was hired for the job last month, but his views on Hitler, race, and rape don’t square with Dunleavy’s family values concepts. When local reporters listened to recordin[...]
How to rumor monger like an expert
Rep. James Comer (R-KY; photo, left), who chairs the House committee tasked with smearing President Biden, has no informants, no evidence, and no facts. He is fishing for an FBI document called an FD-1023 that is basically an agent writing down what someone told him or her. Comer went on Fox News an[...]
