The betting apps are now literally stealing awards results to determine payouts, spreads, etc

And yet their popularity keeps increasing as every bet is rigged in increasingly corrupt ways

The odds are not based on probability or where the money is, they're based on a pre-determined outcome

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

10 Republican led states are redistricting

California is the only blue state even attempting redistricting

Yes, it works to combat Republican election rigging, but it's not even close to leveling the playing field

More Democratic Governors need to step up with Newsom before it's too late

Dick Cheney got a second heart transplant in his 70's

OF COURSE rich people jump the line & poor people get the shaft

But let's be honest, is there ANYTHING in America that is fair between rich & poor?

We live in different worlds

“Patrek Chase, kidney transplant program director at Parkland Health in Dallas, claimed that patients at his hospital – which generally serves a poorer population – were passed over for a healthy organ in favor of patients at UT Southwestern Medical Center, which generally helps the affluent.”

Whistleblower claims Dallas hospitals kept kidneys from poorer patients

Kidneys that were deemed unsuitable for patients at Parkland hospital were allegedly given to others at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Meanwhile, the headlines ignore the fact that there wouldn't been a peace deal back in 2024 but for the fact that he sabotaged it to hurt Biden & Harris (with help from Netanyahu)

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Any time Hochul, Pritzker, Moore, and the rest want to jump in the fight, the country is waiting

It's insane that Gavin Newsom is the only Governor doing anything to try to combat this grotesque power grab

Enough with the excuses

Make it happen

Of Mice & Men is a horrible, depressing, awful story that we make kids read in school so they realize life is utterly hopeless...look across the river...do you see the bunny?

The Twilight Zone fifth season ep 'Living Doll' is one of the show's rare tips into full horror. Miserable stepdad Telly Savalas finds his kid's new talking doll doesn't take kindly to his cruel ways. The script hints the doll would hate him even if he was nice. Creepy, malevolent, one of the best.

Living Doll title card, the title overlaid on an image of Savalas' hands winding the doll.

Christie, a young girl long hair and a hairband, holds up Talky Tina, a plastic doll in a dress. Christie is smiling and happy.

Talky Tina sat on 'her' own on a shelf, looking ahead blankly. The shot is half in shadow and something about Tina appears off.

Savalas as Erich, in his workshop. He has Talky Tina's head in a vice and is attempting to light a blowtorch so he can burn the doll.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”
