The Hunt for Hunter 0
The Arizona Republic’s E. J. Montini highlights the hypocrisy of Republicans’ attempts to smear President Biden by proxy. As background, Hunter Biden agreed to testify in public before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and Judiciary Committee, declined to do so in private. Now Republican’s are threatening to hold in contempt.
Montini reminds us:
One of those representatives was tough-talking Rep. Jordan, he of the no “special treatment” promise.
Jordan, along with Republican Reps. Kevin McCarthy, Scott Perry, Mo Brooks and Arizona’s own Andy Biggs were subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee.
Biggs, Jordan and the others ignored those subpoenas, refusing to testify.
Today’s Republican Party is a vile and loathsome thing.
Election Insurrection 0
David talks with a Capitol Police officer, one who voted for Trump in 2016, about the events of January 6, 2021, when Donald Trump tried to overthrow the goverment of the United States.
Election Insurrection 0
Farron suggests that election rejection is tantamount to insurrection as he discusses a Pennsylvania Republican who conspired to subvert the 2020 election.
Afterthought:
Methinks that attempting to overturn the results of a legitimate election is about as unAmerican as it gets.
But, apparently, none dare call it treason.
Still Rising Again after All These Years 0
Field tries to understand Nikki Haley’s attempt white-wash history in ignoring the uncomfortable fact of America’s Original Sin.
Here’s a bit of his article (emphasis in the original); follow the link for the entire post.

The Graham Cracker 0
His name is Graham, and he’s a cracker.
You can’t argue with facts (unless, of course, you are a Republican).
None Dare Call It Reason 0
False equivalence and weasel words.
“Moms for Liberty Libertines”
0
Michael in Norfolk reviews the implosion of the con artists culture war cult, “Moms For Liberty” (which Grung_e_Gene aptly tagged, “Moms for Lebensraum“).
Still Rising Again after All These Years 0
Farron comments on the irrationality of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s most recent call for secession. (Of course, he’s wasting his breath; irrational persons can’t deal with rationality.)
Our Welfare State 0
Robert Reich (emphasis added):
“We renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country,” Donald Trump has said.
Someone should alert him that America is already a hotbed of socialism. But it’s socialism for the rich. Everyone else is treated to harsh capitalism.

Woke to the Misdirection Play 0
LZ Granderson argues forcefully that the “wokeness” at universities is not the issue that some persons are trying to make it out to be. In his article, he calls out the misdirection play (emphasis added):
The criticism is all part of a larger bid to dismantle the attributes of diversity in general and on campus specifically. That’s why the question of merit arises from affirmative action programs, not from legacy admissions or the power of the donor class.
Follow the link for his reasoning.
The Fifth Column 0
Afterthought:
If Dwight Eisenhower, Ev Dirksen, and Nelson Rockefeller came back from the grave, they would be deeply ashamed of what their Republican Party has become.
Heck, for that matter, even Richard Nixon would likely be less than pleased.
