GOP senate candidate blames loss on vague “irregularities”

Eric Hovde is a silver spooner, the scion of a Wisconsin banking and real estate family. He wants to be a U.S. senator, but so far no dice. Hovde (photo below, profiled here) lost in 2012 to a popular GOP governor, and lost again in 2024 to Sen. Tammy Baldwin (bio here), the Democratic incumbent. [&[...]

The tides of political change

Tides flow and ebb, and so does America’s political center. From 1980 to 2005, the progressive left “was mostly irrelevant to national politics,” a Vox article says (here). “The Cold War was over, and capitalism reigned ascendant.” The parties shifted — the GOP to[...]

America is their land, not your land

They’re Christian nationalists, and they have a vision of America that doesn’t include you. They aim to “take over America for Jesus,” and J. D. Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, is their hero and torch-bearer. “They are extremely online, constantly posting on myr[...]

Are mass deportations feasible?

Sure they are, our government could do that if a political administration is committed and organized enough, and invests enough taxpayer resources. During World War 2, the U.S. rounded up and imprisoned 120,000 Japanese-Americans, two-thirds of whom were American-born citizens. This violated their c[...]

How the Middle East could cost Harris the election

Grossly simplified, the Middle East conflict boils down to two peoples living in the same space. As you know, the latest stage of the conflict began Oct. 7, 2023, when Palestinian terrorists from Gaza invaded Israel, massacred over 1,100 people, and took about 250 hostages. Israel responded with a m[...]

Is Tim Walz a liar?

J. D. Vance (image at left), Trump’s 2024 running mate, is a prodigious liar. The most egregious of Vance’s lies is “telling stories” about Haitian immigrants that are untrue, racist, and caused bomb threats and school closures. But Vance also drastically flip-flopped on Trum[...]

GOP rep is criticized for spreading lies about FEMA relief funds

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) has a track record as a conspiracy theorist. Now, she’s falsely asserting that FEMA relief funds were “redirected” to illegal immigrants (read story here). Rep. Cammack (photo, left) is an election denier who voted against certifying Biden’s 2020 elect[...]

Arrest made in Springfield, Ohio, goose killing

Well, if they weren’t eating pet dogs and cats, then they’re killing ducks and geese. That was the charge leveled by Republicans against Springfield, Ohio’s Haitian immigrants, who are in the U.S. legally on work visas. A cat did go missing. It turned up alive in its owner’s [...]

Attacking the messenger

The postal carrier was only delivering the mail. So why did Russell Frank Valleau (photo, left), 61, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, chase her with a knife? Because his mail that day included a Kamala Harris flyer. After yelling “derogatory, racist and sexual remarks,” he lunged toward h[...]
