Teen Trumper at Harris rally punches 70-year-old woman

He’s only 17 years old, but is an in-your-face kind of teenager. He wore a t-shirt emblazoned with the American flag and Trump raising a middle finger (it might’ve looked something like this). He’d gone to a Harris rally with friends to heckle and antagonize Harris supporters. He w[...]

Florida sheriff should say something about mishandled child rape case

The last time I wrote about Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd (photo, left), I wasn’t complimentary. I noted that he “routinely goes on TV to pronounce suspects guilty before they’ve had a trial,” and he referred to “voters up north” as “stupid.” (S[...]

Do you recognize this car?

It’s a 2001 to 2004 Volvo S60 sedan, black or dark colored, with dark-colored upholstery. It likely has Oregon or Washington plates, to be inconspicuous.

Will Hunter Biden be pardoned?

As the Biden administration winds down, many people will start wondering if the president’s son, convicted of multiple felonies, will escape prison time by being let off the hook. Not necessarily by who you think, though. Biden has publicly said he won’t pardon his son (see story here). [...]

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[...]

Yes, government has the power to kill you

George Floyd protests weren’t riots and didn’t kill 15,000 black men

A Republican liar claims “the post-George Floyd riots resulted in excess of over 15,000 black male deaths in this country.” It’s not remotely true. Ryan Gidursky, a rightwing activist (see his website here), made that assertion on a CNN talk show on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 (read stor[...]
