It was carried into the ER on a litter and pronounced “really, really, dead on arrival.” Florida House Bill 7, a Gov. DeSantis venture passed in 2022, in essence banned critical race theory from schools and DEI training from workplaces, characterizing these forms of education as discrimi[...]

Patrick Byrne (photo, left) was a long-time CEO of Overstock.com, an e-commerce company, until he resigned because of an affair with a Russian spy. Nowadays heR[...]
Will Vance hurt Trump?
It increasingly appears Trump chose his #2 too hastily. Vance’s youth and inexperience Vance’s toxic ties to rightwing venture capitalists Vance’s connection to extremist “Project 2025” Vance’s awkward “childless cat ladies” slur Vance’s idea to tax people for not having chil[...]
Three kinds of facts
There are three major categories of facts. Real facts represent reality. Legal facts are used to decide legal cases, and may bear a resemblance to real facts. Political facts serve partisan interests, and range from half-truths to fantasy. The FBI director’s testimony on July 25, 2024, that [...]
Is Oklahoma the worst state?
It’s sure trying to be. Peruse the list below of my previous posts about Oklahoma. But first, the reason for this post is the state schools superintendent’s thinly-disguised efforts to impose mandatory Bible instruction on Oklahoma public schools. This isn’t especially shocking, gi[...]
GOP legislator demands speeding privileges
Justine Wadsack (photo, left) was pulled over by a Tucson cop for driving 71 mph in a 35 mph zone on March 15, 2024. She wasn’t immediately cited because she’s a state senator, and Arizona legislators enjoy immunity from arrest while in session, but they can be prosecuted after the legis[...]

Tuberville rode into the U.S. Senate on name familiarity and sports mania, defeating the former U.S. Attorney who sent two Klansmen to prison for the 1964 Birmingham church bombing. The last time I posted about[...]

Lying tweeter busted
Baloney. The poster’s name is Joey Mannarino, he’s a white male, and MAGA Trumper. He claims he forgot to log out after using “a friend’s device.” If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge for sale. Read story here. Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]

J. D. Vance’s lying campaign video
In the video below, J. D. Vance says, “I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across the border,” referring to drugs. That’s a lie; his mother, a nurse, fed her addiction by stealing drugs from her patients. He would’ve had little reason to lament “losing” h[...]
