A Storm of Lies and Lying Liars 0
The Charlotte Observer debunks de bunk being spread (mostly) by right-wing nutbags about the aftermath of hurricane Helene.
Here’s one bit (emphasis in the original). Follow the link for more lies by lying liars.
Rumor: The government created the hurricane
Facts: Helene formed from an organized band of showers and thunderstorms in the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center in Miami reported.

The Parody Party 0
Cliif Schecter argues that the Republicans no longer have a party.
They have a parody.
Via C&L, which has commentary.
Vance Planning 0
. . . in case you needed any more evidence that today’s Republican Party is little more than the party of the New Secesh.
