These Neo-Nazis sure love a college town.
Unless, of course, that college is in Harlem, the Bronx, Philadelphia, etc.

Israel calls its operation in Gaza a war, but it is really closer to an extended punitive military action, as Hamas can hardly be considered to be an army. Zooming out to 30,000 feet, it more closely resembles a militarily enforced urban renewal project. Israel is making northern Gaza uninhabitable. After the invasion ends Israel can tell the Palestinians: ‘You are welcome to return, but to what? There is no housing, water, electricity, food or jobs.’

Rosalynn Carter, 1927-2023
Thank you for being a great first lady.

If we try real hard…wit a little help from our friends at the NYT and WaPo we might be able to degrade the image of Biden enough that Trump can walk in. Like his buddy just did in Argentina. Maybe the MSM can suggest that Biden said he invented the internet or was born in Kenya. That seems to work. Too bad Joe wasn’t in the military…they could say he didn’t earn his medals. For now Open Borders, Inflation and ragging on him for a war in Gaza he had nothing to do with seems to be working.
Hail Trump !!!
OT: I just got back from Bilbao and noticed gas was well under 3 dollars a gallon here in Florida. So far I’ve not seen anyone credit Biden for the reduction in price or put a goofy “Biden did this” on a gas pump.

A pastor who coordinates “faith-based” outreach for the Philadelphia chapter of Moms for Liberty is a registered sex offender.
And people accuse me of being a cynic. I maintain it’s not cynical to say that evil people will attract other evil people to themselves.

Jimmy never divorced or cheated in 77 years. He was a Pastor and humanitarian. But the Party of Faith and Family values manipulated a hostage crisis to boot Jimmy out and put Ronnie in and what did we get? Iran Contra and a shift in GOP politics that plagues the nation still.

I think this is so wrong:
“Their choices and emphases allowed the human process of forgetting to proceed as normal.”
TMFWWNBN gets his support because he is the worst human being the world, not despite it. His appeal is his resentment, anger and petulance against anyone with a IQ above room temperature. He’s a Walmart special Mussolini.

There’s a certain “magnetism” there for sure. Just as incompetent leaders tend to surround themselves with incompetents.

I’m assuming he won’t be allowed anywhere near her funeral.
His message will be “she didn’t even have fake kidneys. Sad!”

I think it is notable that the Carters were married the entire span of DFG’s miserable life, during which he has never demonstrably contributed anything positive to the world.

Look, on the Argentina comparisons–we haven’t had 100+ percent inflation for three years, plus lots of corruption scandals associated with the ruling party. Milei also doesn’t have a governing majority for the most extreme measures in his platform.
Meanwhile, Trump is announcing over and over again that he wants to be Mussolini. He’ll be on trial in several places when the general election rolls around. His friends in Congress are embarrassing themselves weekly.
Keep the faith, folks!
