End-times prophecy, pro-war prayer circles, Democrats as demons: Christian dominionism’s influence is everywhere in the second Trump administration—and increasingly, within America itself. Can democracy survive the assault?
“When it comes to something like the relationship between the U.S. and Israel, I think they’ve been incredibly influential,” Taylor told me. “American bombs are accomplishing in the physical realm what they are also trying to accomplish in the spiritual realm.”
These bitches & the sons-thereof might bamboozle Lumpy into nuking us into The Appocalypse. Interestingly, the author doesn't mention that Rafael Cruz (TX Sen. Rafael "Ted" Cruz's parental unit) is a Dominionist.
Wage-slave until you drop dead. Then imagine how cheap your funeral will be in the booming economy. Win-win!
Dr Oz: "I'll give you a number you'll never forget -- if we can get the average American to be so healthy, so with it, so vital that they just want to work a little longer, it's worth a trillion dollars to the US economy"
I'd like to know if Dr. Oz has ever done physical labor in his life. Fuck him & the bullshit economy, which benefits only the already over-monied.
Further hypocrisy: Why aren't Republicans tarring this bastard w/ their Muslim/Islamist brush, as they do to virtually every other Mohammaden? "Making America Healthy Again" sounds like Sharia Law to me.
And I'd like to thank all for the sincere good wishes, presents, surprise party & so forth. It's so wonderful to have friends! (Who will cheerfully call the fucking police on me because I was righteously angry. W/ friends like that ...)
One classic & a tolerably stupid Todd Rundgren production, recently & often heard over & over & over in truncated &/or covered forms in adverts on the telly.
NB: Hank Snow (The Singing Ranger) is Canadian, b. 1914 in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. He penned both the above classic* & "I'm Movin' On", which were enough for a lifetime career. Go Canada!!Still don't get it. Are ancient tunes less expensive, or are ad agency music directors admitting that today's music sucks may not even be up to yesterday's drivel?*Originally from an Australian number. Hank changed the locations.
These deluded buffoons live in a sad fantasy world.
Lies? As Long As They "Resonate", It's Fine
Axios: House GOP's top messenger: Socialism attack line “doesn't really resonate” — House Republicans' top messenger has three pieces of advice for candidates trying to survive the midterms: Call Democrats “communists,” don't gaslight voters on inflation — and trust your district if it tells you to deviate from President Trump.
French has begun to direct his venom Rosenthal’s way. Texas Monthly’s Robert Downen, the foremost chronicler of French’s rise and the Texas far-right, recently reported on a fundraising email from the campaign that accused Rosenthal, who is Jewish, of “mocking Christianity” and compared him to the Bolsheviks who killed Russia’s ruling Romanov family—a trope with a deep antisemitic history.
“Democratic consultants are privately encouraging their battleground candidates to avoid talking about artificial intelligence regulations out of fear that powerful tech groups will unleash a tidal wave of spending against them ahead of November,” Politico reports.
Even more imminent than the robot danger is filthy rich tech group Nazis screwing things up w/ their lying advertising & propaganda. No more private financing of elections, dammit!!
The Mother Jones item has more hot poop on Bo French:
In 2025, around the same time the Tarrant GOP demanded Texas leaders acknowledge new Islamic centers as an “invasion” and “dangerous threat,” French polled his X followers: “Who is a bigger threat to America?” The two choices: “Muslims” and “Jews.”
Of course he's astoundingly ignorant:
To the extent that his candidacy is focused on the Texas Railroad Commission at all, it is because French believes the oil industry, too, must be purged of “the influence of radical Islam.” French, who did not respond to a request for comment, referred to Jim Wright, the Republican commissioner he defeated, as “Jihadi Jim” and alleged that Wright’s ties to a Saudi-owned company’s petrochemical facility had allowed “Islamic values and laws” to infiltrate the commission.
Bo's 90+ yrs. late on that. And RNS looks at football as religion & identity in Texas.
Count in one hand & crap in the other; see which piles up sooner: Shit, or Fat Donnie's bribe money. Cultist cretins & suckers. It'd be funny if any of the chumps figured it out. They couldn't be any denser.
Jamelle Bouie has an important piece in the NY Times today (gift link) about the GOP’s Nazi problem, and it is a problem. He points out that there is a whole generation of younger staffers, some of whom have been exposed during this campaign and others who are actually working in the top reaches of the government under Trump. His administration is crawling with white supremacists and neo-Nazis. But he also provides some important historical context to show how we got here.
How did we get here? It is a mystery. Just guessing, but a long tradition of white supremacy, Yankee religiosity, chattel slavery, & the Confederacy might have somethnig to do w/ it.
People are tired of taking crap. Block those roads, & whack a copper for me!
What initially started as a peaceful demonstration at Victoria Square later descended into chaos as protest participants clashed with security forces and tried to block surrounding roads. (AP Video and Production by Nicolae Dumitrache)
Th' hell's the Romanian gummint doing to Romanian farmers? Doesn't the power structure like to eat?
Finally realized my problem was from constipation, so cleansed the colon, then slept for about 10 hrs. Still yawning, however, because humanity & all its works are still unspeakably dull, inane, boring & mind-numbing (image above) except, of course, for the parts where you horrid pieces of murderous shit are trying to kill anyone in your way.
