When photos are deceptive
Those people wearing “Auto Workers for Trump” t-shirts in the photo below? They’re Trump supporters who attended a Detroit campaign rally on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, where J.D. Vance was the featured speaker. They were “stationed in a featured spot” behind Vance as he [...]
Trump sees Democrats in the mirror
When Trump looks into a mirror, he often sees Democrats. Four weeks before the 2024 election, he’s gone on a lying binge. His lies aren’t a bit creative; they’re his own biography. After one devastating hurricane, with another on the way, he’s falsely claiming Biden is divert[...]
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 blowhard absurdly blames Democrats for political violence
It’s a talking point in a campaign season, and an empty one. Most of the political violence is coming from Republicans: The Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, threats against judges and election workers, talk of “civil war,” and the attempts to assassinate Trump. (Both would-be assassins[...]
What’s behind Melania Trump’s support for abortion?

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 [...]

J. D. Vance wins debate with dishonesty
According to viewers, J. D. Vance won his debate with Tim Walz, but just barely. In a CBS post-debate poll, 42% said Vance won, 41% said Walz won, and 17% called it a tie. CNN’s poll was equally close: Vance 51%, Walz 49%, with no tie option. (See Vox story here.) In a USA Today […][...]
Trading barbs ahead of Walz vs. Vance debate
A day before the 2024 vice presidential debate, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins moderated a heated exchange between Van Jones, a Democrat, and Lee Zeldin, a Republican, in the video below. Predictably, Zeldin does two things you expect of a Republican: He lies and defends a despicable candidate. Zeldin r[...]
