J. D. Vance is a political novice and klutz. He had no experience in politics before being elected to the Senate two years ago; and it painfully shows. Six days ago he suggested solving America’s day care crisis by asking Grandpa and Grandma to watch the kids while the parents work. Five day[...]

Kamala Harris’s earnings are only earrings
Republicans love conspiracy theories, and their latest is that Kamala Harris cheated during the debate by getting coaching from her earrings. It seems there’s a German company that makes earphones disguised as pearl earrings (see story here). But there’s only superficial resemblance betw[...]

Ma’am, your son is a monster
The parents of Georgia school shooter Colt Gray, who killed 4 people and wounded 7 others, aren’t pillars of the community; but at least his mother, Marcee Gray, tried to warn the school about her son, and now she’s apologizing for what he did. “To the parents and families of those aff[...]
PHOTOGRAPHY: Unity
When Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, Americans came together to fight World War 2. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Americans came together again, and that event still unites us in a way that transcends politics.

I can’t prove J. D. Vance kidnaps and eats cats
Nor does he have any evidence that Haitian immigrants kidnap and eat cats, but that doesn’t keep him from saying they do (see story here). Why is he doing it? Huffington Post said (here) that “it appears Vance was responding to a collection of rumors and baseless internet posts related t[...]
Republicans can’t have it both ways on guns
Austin Theriault, a Maine GOP legislator running for a U.S. House seat “as a champion of the Second Amendment,” called the sheriff in January 2023 because he saw a man carry an AR-15 rifle into his house, Huffington Post reported on Monday, September 9, 2024 (read story here). The police[...]

Worst-ever baseball team plays to empty stadium
Chicago baseball fans must be boycotting the White Sox, because on August 28, 2024, the team played in a nearly empty stadium (video below). As of September 8, 2024, their won-loss record stands at 33-111, .229, which is worse than the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics’ 24-110, .235 season, the prev[...]
