Hacked into telling lies? It’s just a computer program, folks. Of course it’s hackable.

A Notion of Immigrants 0

At AL.com, Roy S. Johnson notes that Donald Trump, who has been busily slamming the “golden door” in the faces of immigrants, threw said door wide open for 59 South Africans.

Johnson thinks the reason is quite simple:

. . . they’re white.

Farron is less than sympathetic to Donald Trump’s hurt fee-fees about being called out for criticized for accepting a bribe an emolument.

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

And another oxymorinic “responsible gun owner” performs a random act of politeness.

The stupidity of our society absolutely floors me.

Retired professor Peter S. Wenz wonders why Pete Hegseth has purged a book that he coauthored, Faces of Environmental Racism, from the Navy. Here’s a bit of his article:

Hoist on His Own Petard 0

As my old professor of the Early Federal Period delighted in pointing out, “history is irony.”

And some ironies are more delightful than others.

Vaccine Nation 0

Sam and the crew play a video of RFK Jr., Secretary of HHS, saying that people should not take medical advice from him.

So Sam and the crew wonder, what’s the point of having a Department of Health and Human Services if you can’t take health advice from it?

Afterthought:

The Trump maladministration is succeeding at one thing: Undermining the credibility of the federal government.

Which, methinks, may not by accident.
