Sixteen years before this action, my newlywed mom was student teaching in Yelm, WA, to finish her state teaching certificate. She related that the principal fired her because "We can't have a pregnant home economics teacher." Oh, the rich irony of 1962. I was born just a few months later.

This came 16 years after my mom was fired from her job as home economics student teacher in Yelm, WA. "We can't let students see a pregnant teacher," the principal told her as he showed her the door. I arrived a few months later.

That feels like it's a blatantly illegal violation of civil service laws. Maybe it's just me.

Poor, poor Dear Glorious Leader didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize, but he's a shoo-in for any and all Ignoble Awards this year.

No one is above the law. Especially complicit traitors and insurrectionists.

I believe Dear Glorious Leader is projecting again.

See the horrifying new comedy, "Double Indumnity," starring Donnie "I Love Epstein" Trump as Fat Man and Pete "The Kegerator" Hegseth as Little Boy.

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but
when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

You can always trust medical advice from the stable genius who can't pronounce "acetaminophen" because he's in the Epstein Files.

What are we as Americans if we no longer have the First Amendment to protect our free speech?

Just to be clear, Living While Brown is now more criminal than:
β€’ Falsifying business records to pay a porn star
β€’ Tax evasion
β€’ Defrauding a charity
β€’ Bilking "university" students
β€’ Inciting Jan. 6 insurrectionists
β€’ Bombing a boat in international waters
β€’ Sexual assault
β€’ Slander
β€’ Pedophilia

Da fuuuu? So, "working while brown" is officially a crime now?

I mean, in Hotwheels's dead eyes and polluted brain, what's not fair about cutting the power of Democratic voters in half?

Nor should her family get $5 million for her willful lawbreaking.

There's exactly 5 million units of waste, fraud and abuse right there.

We never address the ammosexuals or gun access because we always have thoughts and prayers. News flash: All these prayers clearly ain't working.

That's an absolute gut punch to this former journalist of 30-plus years.

Sadly, that doesn't fit her typical MAGAt talking points.

Is that so Japanese drivers can carry their Kei-class cars and trucks in the Lightning's bed?

In other words, Gov. Abbott is manufacturing a whole new class of felony, "just because he doesn't want to disappoint Dear Glorious Leader and his dubious power grab."

Oh, that doesn't reek of desperate fascism at all.
