Why does no one ever mention the Founding Mothers? Did men reproduce by fission back then, or parthenogenesis?

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

Remember, "the market" can never be "great" if "eggheads" are allowed to share their knowledge and experience.

Holy Hypocrite Mike Johnson: Oh, no, the Convicted Felon in Chief might have to make history with a *third* impeachment, in which a Democratic Senate might convict him and his obvious guilt! Circle the wagons, fellow quislings!

Of the two adorable "little boys" in the Shriners commercials: as of 12/23/25, the brunet is 23, a recent college graduate, while the sandy blond is 16. Both of them have osteoporosis imperfecta, meaning a bone might break if you look at them funny.

Holy Hypocrite Johnson: If Trumpublicans lose the House majority, patriotic Americans will impeach Putin's Puppet for a THIRD TIME. Then who will defend Vladimir Putin while simultaneously turning the US into a Putin-style dictatorship?

What is worse about the trickle of information released so far from the Epstein files? — that the Convicted Felon in Chief is in fact guilty of horrific crimes against young teenage girls, or the knowledge that he will almost certainly escape punishment?

To all ICE agents: Nixon didn't go to prison, but many of his supporters did — and for much less serious crimes than YOU are committing.

I wonder if Secretary of “War” Kegstand knows how many Nixon officials ended up in prison? (*69* government officials were charged, with 48 pleading guilty and *at least* 7 imprisoned. And none of THEM had committed war crimes amounting to murder.)

It's official: Karoline Leavitt has no idea who John F. Kennedy was or what happened to him.

I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but the US is not at war — so he's just a serial mass murderer.

I suppose we have to forgive the Convicted Felon in Chief for renaming important buildings by adding his own name in front, as if *he* had always been the one honored. I'd name a toxic waste burial site for him.

Ezekiel 20:25-26: "So I [God] gave them statutes that were not good and laws by which they could not live. I defiled them through their gifts — the sacrifice of every firstborn — that I might horrify them so they would know that I am the LORD.”
That's the same God "conservative Christians" worship.

Trump 2024: I'll fix the problem on day one.
Trump, 12/18/25: I have solved every problem facing the US on day 333. Now I'll go drive my golf cart onto the green. When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Even crash the economy, start a war with Venezuela, & become king for life.

Cool moment: On the bridge of the Enterprise, Christine Chapel just learned that her fiancé was alive. As Chapel left the bridge, Uhura gave her a BFF hug.

The perennial argument about women serving as priests, ministers, bishops, etc. boils down to: Are women too inferior to serve at the altar, or is Genesis 1:27 a lie, and women are NOT created in God's image? Is Genesis 5:1-2 a lie too.

I just saw Father Mulcahey sing "what were we ever singing for?" for the zillionth time, and for the zillionth time, I thought, what a great pro-peace tactic — building a memorable anti-war song into an otherwise run-of-the-mill MASH episode. What WERE we ever singing for? ... conquering Venezuela?

Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's disease. Despicable Donnie has frontotemporal dementia. Reagan may have hated homosexuality, but at least he didn't ignore the Constitution, raze the Rose Garden and the East Wing, fire more than *300,000* people, and turn the US into an international pariah.
Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

Who is this reasonable-sounding woman, and what did she do with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Even if you don't agree with Rob Reiner politically, there was no reason for his statement ... it was absolutely completely below the office of the president. Classless and it was just wrong."
