Censoring Colbert and Talarico The FCC blocked CBS from airing an interview of Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, and Stephen Colbert was none too pleased

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Yep. I'm lyrics-first; my spouse is music-first (and we have one kid who is lyrics-first and one kid who is music-first). The music-first people often will listen to the importance of the lyrics; we lyrics-first people need to do better listening to them talk about the importance of the music.

What Measles Did to My Family My mom always told me that measles was what made my sister sick. I was 8 when she finally explained the whole thing.

The return of measles will mean the return of SSPE.

If you don't know what that is, read this. www.voicesforvaccines.org/what-measles...

4 times as many measles cases in few weeks than US typically averages in year: CDC There have been 733 cases so far this year, a CDC report said.

Remember: In the prevaccine era, measles would peak in late winter- early spring. Don’t be surprised if in the next few weeks we see a surge

Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a β€œwalking skeleton” and β€œdying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. β€œShe lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. β€œMy little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

South Carolina Republicans are trying to hide the fact that they're pushing legislation to test the water for abortion pills.

β€œCandidate A supports 90% of what I believe in. Candidate B only supports 10% of what I belive in. Therefore, both candidates fail to support 100% of what I believe in and I will not vote for either.”

And that’s how we got here.

I THE RACKET
That this would happen was predictable from the start. As Trump and Congress withheld more than half of the $40 billion obligated for hurricane relief, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority awarded a $300 million, closed-bid contract to a tiny, troubled electric contractor, whose only discernible qualification was that they were headquartered in Trump Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's tiny hometown of Whitefish, Montana. The contract was canceled once the public became aware of it, but not before the contractor had overcharged wildly for man-hours and expenses. Zinke resigned a year later under a cloud of other corruption
investigations.
And Whitefish Energy hasn't even proven to be the most blatantly corrupt electrical contract of the relief effort. Another

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

One of the best ways to celebrate Black History Month is by honoring the Obamas, who made history in the People’s House by bringing us a prosperous economy after the 2008 near-depression and by advancing a positive, uplifting, hopeful vision for our nation.
