Perhaps if Christian Nationalists valued actual education as much as they do the study of Iron Age myths in their Christian “schools,” their kids could compete for good jobs too. Instead they value ignorance of everything but their Bible.

The real question is why a dumbass who is both ignorant AND evil is allowed to run the entire healthcare establishment in the country...and why Americans are not up in arms about it instead of taking medical advice from him and from random TikTok idiots.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

For some reason “Titanic” (1997) has been in heavy rotation on Showtime this month and it’s fun reading the young’uns on Reddit hashing out the same shit we talked about on the “Countdown to” message boards nearly 30 years ago.

It's absurd how corporate media takes such care to separate out Trump conduct from the Epstein files. Given Trump's own history with documented sexual assault, in court and by his own admissions, and his conduct with young women, why is it so hard to believe that he was an active participant?

Rob Reiner, who was killed on Sunday, built a remarkable acting and directing career that went far beyond his comic origins. David Sims on his quiet brilliance and always surprising versatility:

Rob Reiner had one of the greatest movie runs in history.
Look at these classics.
5 in a row.
Doesn't even include This is Spinal Tap. The Sure Thing was between Spinal Tap and Stand By Me, and was a fine movie.
Huge talent. And now it's appearing to be a homicide.

I am just gutted. Rob Reiner gave us so much joy and laughter. If he’d done nothing but “The Princess Bride” it would have been enough. But he did so much more.
I must also note that he was Jewish and an outspoken liberal opponent of the current regime. And it was the first night of Hanukkah.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Remember when people thought Roberts was concerned with his legacy and then that he would become the swing vote? LOLOLOLOLOLOL. The faith that people have in our systems would be charming if it weren't going to turn us into a Christian nationalist kakistocratic theocratic autocracy.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Why is the Fourth Estate completely unconcerned with the fact that Donald Trump always claims to know nothing about what his cabinet members are doing when those things might be a problem for him? Either he's a liar or he's not running the show, and you'd think that would at least pique curiosity.
