Gun-toting Capitol rioter gets 7 years 3 months
Guy Reffitt is a high-profile Capitol riot defendant who threatened to kill his own family if they turned him in.

Will Trump go to prison?
Trump lied about election fraud, but that’s not a crime, it’s free speech. And while he’s engaged in shady business practices and dodged taxes, many Americans don’t see those actions as real crimes, just “smart business” — and hating paying taxes as much as [...]

Trump wants to tell your daughter who she can date
This requires a little backgrounding before getting into the story. Bear with me, it’s worth your time. First of all, it involves a Republican food fight. Tim Michels (profile here), a rich guy who owns a $17 million Connecticut castle, wants to be Wisconsin’s governor. So does Rebecca K[...]

The sprint seen around the world

Should lack of education excuse civic ignorance?

Why do Republicans lie so much?
Four Republicans are running for Arizona governor, and three of them claimed the 2020 election was stolen in a debate on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 (read story here). The other refused to say whether she would’ve certified the election if she were governor. In Arizona, the ballots were officiall[...]
