Committee Chair Jim Jordan: This hearing of the Select Subcommittee on Random Right-Wing Grievances will come to order. Our fist witness''an extremely aggrieved Republican. (To the witness) Do you swear to be very resentful of societal trends you find personally threatening, so help you God? Witness: I do. Jordan: My first question for your, sir--do believe that the biggest problem facing our nation today is all the wokeness? Witness: Absolutely, Mr. Chairman. The pandemic was a hoax--but our society won't survive the woke virus. It's everywhere you look. Our universities are woke. Half-time shows are woke. Disney World is woke. M&M candies are woke. People should just stay the hell asleep, if you ask me. Jordan: Good point. Moving on to our next grievance, what about the FBI treating concerned MAGA parents like common criminals. Witness: It is my opinion as an aggrieved Republican, it is a clear violation of their First Amendment right to make violent threats against the school board members of their choice. Jordan: Thank you for your honest and compelling testimony. Do you have any special insight into social media bias against conservatives? Witness: It's undeniable. I posted an extremely amusing meme about pro-abortion women being fat and ugly--and it only got fifteen likes! Jordan: Shocking. Well, before we recess, what are your thoughts on all this gender crap? Witness: Congressman, my pronouns are

At the Des Moines Register, Steve Westerberg dissects the lies that lying liars are spreading about public schools and libraries to advance an agenda of racism and privatization.

He focuses on Iowa, but it’s happening all over the country.

Here’s one bit of bunk he debunks; follow the link for more.

Spreading widely rumors that there are public school students identifying as cats, and that those students are being accommodated by schools providing kitty litter in the bathrooms. This ridiculous rumor has no basis in fact, yet continues to circulate across the country, including Iowa.

Man: Sure. Rat: Great. Well, I think we all bring different prespectives to the issues. Man: Right. Rat: Perspectives based on our past, our experience, or education. Man: Agreed.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
