Republican Family Values, American Stasi Dept. 0

In the midst of a longer article about conditions at a privately-owned ICE detention center concentration camp, New Jersey Congressman Rob Menendez offers his theory as to why the Republican-controlled House and Senate are resisting efforrs to look into conditions at said locations:

Menendez, who was making his eighth visit to Delaney Hall, said Republican members of the GOP-controlled House and Senate were ignoring conditions at detention facilities nationwide, because “they want to hide from the fact that they’re tearing families apart.”

Methinks he may be onto something. Follow the link for the context of his comment.

And, while we’re on the subject . . . .

A privileged position can help you to think that you are entitled to everything, and are above others. Reverse that and you can see how it isn’t true.

Still Rising Again after All These Years, Reprise 0

I’m a Southern boy. I grew up under Jim Crow and attended segregated schools. I know how to decode de code.

Today’s Republican Party wants to bring those days back.

Indeed, they’re not even trying to you-will-pardon-the-expression white wash it any more.

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Yet another responsible gun owner decides to expose his portable phallus.

The victims said that a man was showing off a gun and it accidentally went off, striking himself in the stomach and a woman in the leg, police said.

Just another day in the NRA’s Garden of Bleedin’.

The Job Requirement 0

In a longer article by John Young about the defilement of CBS, this comment particularly caught my eye:

DEI? Anyone revolted by the comical hires by this president — the Noems, the Bondis, the Hegseths, the Patels – knows “FUI” is his method.

It stands for “finding useful idiots.”

Methinks he has a point. Go read the article and see what you think.

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Once again, politeness goes for the dogs.

Jonathan told WAVE he came home last Saturday to find Rex hurt, beaten up as if he’d been run over. So, he checked his Ring camera.

“Everything was fine, everything was fine, everything was fine, until a gold F-150 pulled up and everything was not fine,” he said.

The camera shows a man reach out of that truck and point a gun at Rex, shooting him in the leg.
