greeted the Pelosi family’s misfortune with mockery or derision, or—

the fact that he was a Bay Area resident to try paint him as some leftist hippie—

despite the fact that DePape’s own writing show him to be an obsessive of right-wing rhetoric and conspiracy theories.

Many on the right have fixated on an absurd, phobic alternate story in which DePape and Pelosi were lovers—

Kari Lake Promises To Arrest FBI Agents Over Policy That Doesn’t Exist

If I were governor right now, and Joe Biden even thought he was gonna send his FBI or DOJ in to start coming after our parents,

they would be met at the airport with the state police and arrested for going after our rights.

We finally, as parents, have to rise up and say,

‘No, we’re gonna take this anymore, and they call us terrorists.

State Police cannot arrest the FBI if they are doing their jobs,

it is unbelievable that the FBI would be “sent” to arrest parent terrorists.

Literally “unbelievable” because none of this exists in the real world,

The actual FBI memo doesn’t mention parents, only the safety of teachers and district staff:

Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values.

Unearthed video shows Sen. Mike Lee saying getting rid of Social Security is why he ran in 2010

Before Hannity could even form his mouth to allege on his show Tuesday that “not a single Republican” has ever said “they want to take away your Social Security and Medicare and cut it,”

a video of Sen. Mike Lee of Utah saying exactly that in his 2010 campaign had already emerged on social media.

“It will be my objective to phase out Social Security,

to pull it up by the roots and get rid of it,” Lee said in the video.

"People who advise me politically always tell me that's dangerous,

and I tell them, in that case, it's not worth my running.

That's why I'm doing this, to get rid of that.

Medicare and Medicaid are of the same sort and need to be pulled up.”

What, Her Worry? Iowa’s Kim Reynolds Is Running a Dishonest and Nasty Campaign

But the Republican governor’s punch-down politics are no bar to reelection.

moved on to public school teachers, equally vulnerable since the Iowa legislature stripped them of their bargaining rights in 2017. No more “critical race theory” in schools, she and the legislature decreed, despite CRT never having been taught in Iowa schools.

Whom to bully next? How about transgendered children and their families?

Reynolds met with parents concerned about school bathroom usage

but has never met with the kids and parents trying to navigate their way through difficult gender decisions.

Her latest television ad proudly boasts that in Iowa,

“We still know right from wrong [and] boys from girls.”

Anyone else to punch down on?

Well, a previous Reynolds ad talked about

crime in a state with one of the lowest rates in the country,

featuring the face of a Black congresswoman from Missouri.

Sheer coincidence that the Democratic candidate for governor is a Black woman.

The current governor has done nothing to alleviate racial disparities in Iowa, content to let

her state rank as third-worst for Blacks in the country.

Reynolds announced last week that the state will

appeal a federal judge’s ruling that a mask requirement is a reasonable accommodation to protect students with disabilities or medical vulnerabilities.

Christian Nationalist BS at USAFA

How ing stupid does the Air Force Academy think people are?

This being the last home game for the Air Force Academy players who are seniors, a banner was put up below

the scoreboard with each of the seniors’ jersey numbers on it.

The players’ numbers were 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9,11,12,15, and 16, and you think they would have appeared on the banner in that order, right?

The 3 was place in between the 15 and the 16, making the banner end with 3 16,


John 3:16, the sports world’s favorite Bible verse —

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,

but have everlasting life.’’

\\\\

a statement from the Academy, which is where we get to the ‘you just can’t make this crap up’ part of the story.

"There was no significance to the order of the senior jersey numbers posted in the soccer stadium during last weekend’s men’s soccer game.

The intent was to recognize the 10 seniors playing in their last home game.

Recognition was conducted in a pregame ceremony with the players and their families and with two banners inside the soccer stadium highlighting their jersey numbers (1,2,3,6,8,9,11,12,15,16).

The numbers were to be printed sequentially and attached to each banner.

After completing the first banner, our staff recognized that the number three was missing.

To correct the oversight, the number three was added to the second banner out of sequential order –

it was done simply to insure the player was represented as one of the ten seniors.

"Again, the only intent behind the banners was to celebrate the senior cadets at their final home soccer game."

This cerainly to high-brow for ST nutcases, but anyway ...

GOP continues moving towards a dark and dangerous tradition

as they abandon 'small government' ideology

backing away from familiar “supply-side” dogmas and

moving instead toward seizing the power of the administrative state

to restore order and public virtue to Silicon Valley technocratic elites and to unruly masses,

all under the tutelage of a “truly” conservative ruling elite.

They’re edging closer to the

Roman Catholic “common good Cons utionalism” of Harvard Law Prof. Adrian Vermeule and several Supreme Court justices,

or to the old Ivy-Protestant, “Good Shepherd” guardianship of the republic,

“the conservative project failed” because it “didn’t take into account the revolutionary principle of technology, and its intrinsic connection to the telos [or over-determined trajectory], of sheer profit.”


want a conservative-led counter-revolution

against a corporate technocracy

whose fixation on maximizing profit has trapped Americans like flies in a spiderweb of come-ons that grope, goose, track, and indebt us, bypassing our brains and hearts on the way to our lower viscera and wallets.

they making only a tactical shift in their strategy to support the scramble for sheer profit and ac ulated wealth, glossed by religiously inflected public discipline?

conservatism was about maintaining traditions and preserving Western civilization as a living and vibrant thing. Well, too late.

Western civilization is dying.

The traditions and practices that conservatives champion…

do not form the basis of our common culture or civic life,

as they did for most of our nation’s history.

conservatives must seize power instead of sharing it. Dems excluded forever.

It's no small thing for conservatives to acknowledge that

they can’t reconcile their claim to cherish traditional communal and family values

with their knee-jerk obeisance to every whim and riptide of conglomeration or financialization.
