Remember the Pam Bondi dynamic: for two decades she's had the "well we have to book SOMEBODY, even that idiot Bondi" role in cable news. Now she has stature and professional hair colorists and ad libs written for her.

She's in Pam Bondi heaven and will do or say anything to stay there

Focus on the files, dammit!

Force them to defend a pedophile.

This doesn’t tell us what we can do about it.

One thing for sure, agreeing with each other in a social media echo chamber accomplishes nothing.

Mar-a-Lago was raided on August 8, 2022.

If he really believes that, he has demonstrated the theological understanding of a six year old.

But that’s irrelevant. What matters now is

Doesn’t matter. The D in Democratic Party stands for Dinosaur to too many young people.

And when I say young, I’m including my forty-something college educated children and their friends. They were saying it about Biden in 2022.

It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it only matters if you win.

Johnson was interviewed on NPR this morning.

He blamed the shutdown on everything but the tax breaks given to the ultra-wealthy that are resulting in skyrocketing health insurance subsidies.

Shameless describes him well.

Why?

54% of US adults can’t read above a 6th grade level.

Implications: Reasoning skills not only suffer but are also devalued.

So it shouldn’t be surprising that literacy and math scores are declining in our schools as well.

It IS worse.

The picture of the pepper sprayed pastor will seem quaint soon enough.

Neil Young’s words will prove prophetic.

β€œGotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should’ve been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?”

Because they have no clue what it means to be Christian

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast β€œsocialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

Call me a cynic, but I don’t think they’re allowing for the possibility of a Democrat being elected.
