If anyone knows about republican ‘cancel culture’ in action, it is the Dixie Chicks. They committed the offense of asking if it was the best thing for our government to spend a trillion dollars on war with Iraq to find non-existent WMDs. Perhaps Ted Cruz can be a warm-up act for the Dixie Chicks, telling jokes and stuff.

It’s not “cancel culture.” It’s cry-baby culture. The more Cruz reminds people, the better!

The idea of “cancel culture,” is similar to the rigged approach they tried against being “politically correct.” A while back, some pseudo-intellectual republicons tried to create a bruhaha about political correctness, as they wished to define it. The clear implication was that the republicans are better then those who go around trying to do the right thing because it’s considered to be correct by people they are trying to please, rather than doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

“Cancel culture,” is in the same vein. We’re better than you because we don’t criticize others. Yeah, right.

Slow news day? How about some real news?

On the MyHeritage site, historical figures such as Queen Victoria and Florence Nightingale are reanimated. And earlier this month, to mark his birthday, the firm put a video of Abraham Lincoln on YouTube using the technology.

The former US president appears in colour and is shown speaking.

I’m eagerly awaiting “Abe Lincoln, Standup Insult Comedian.”

So by implication, Orlando is also better than Houston?

Fact check: Orlando is not better than Houston. And I don’t even like Houston.

Never forget: Cruz was born in Canada. And he kept his Canadian citizenship until 2013. He wasn’t just born there.

Ted Cruz is the worst kind of political whore, no ethics, no integrity, no honesty, no compassion. He lies through his teeth. He is worse than scum.
