Discussion:

Andrew Kaczynski / @kfile:   Just weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Zacharia also posted seemingly in support of Vladimir Putin, reposting a post that the Russian president was fighting a secret network of powerful elites. https://www.cnn.com/...

Andrew Kaczynski / @kfile:   In another deleted tweet, she shared a post accusing the DOJ of covering up for people implicated in the Epstein scandal.

Andrew Kaczynski / @kfile:   NEW: President Trump's incoming White House press secretary echoed the debunked pizzagate conspiracy theory, accused Hollywood elites of being pedophilic cannibals, and said Michelle Obama had a penis in posts, reposts, and deleted tweets.

James Tate / @jamestate121:   She spreads Russian propaganda like a good communist.

Nina Burleigh / @ninaburleigh:   This is the new White House press secretary. She is paid by taxpayers to inform the public.

Isabel Keane / The Independent:   Trump's new press secretary has a history of pushing banana conspiracy theories

Mehdi Hasan / @mehdirhasan:   Despite now being one of the high-profile members of the US government these comments of hers will get 1% of the media coverage and outrage of that a Twitch streamer's got. Our media is broken. Support independent journalism like Judd's and like Zeteo: https://zeteo.com/...

Aaron Rupar / @atrupar:   Between Natalie Harp and now Zacharia, Trump is surrounding himself with women who believe some very strange things. If a friend told you Democrats are a bunch of “sick pedo cannibals,” you've [sic] back away slowly and seek professional help for her

PseudoIntelligence-generted telebision for viewers w/ "lower scores on a vocabulary test commonly used to measure cognitive ability".And for the literate:

“One of the most consistent predictors that Americans adhere to Christian nationalism is that they have lower education,” Perry told PsyPost. “But there have also been a number of studies that find that persons who subscribe to Christian nationalist views (even after accounting for level of education) exhibit significant knowledge gaps across a variety of different domains.”

For example, people who strongly endorse the ideology tend to score poorly on tests about “American history or scientific knowledge,” Perry noted. “They are also more likely to hold factually incorrect beliefs about vaccines,” he said, referencing a 2021 study he co-authored, which was covered by PsyPost. “And related to that last point, they are also more likely to affirm ridiculous conspiracy theories related to COVID-19, January 6th, or QAnon.”

“The dominant explanations for these substantial knowledge deficits and the apparent credulity of Christian nationalist adults have been motivated reasoning and siloed information sources,” Perry explained. “Both of those theories are no doubt true. But we have yet to consider whether there may be evidence of a gap in cognitive resources, one that can’t be explained solely by educational background or other relevant factors.”

Common sense tells us these "people" are cretinous morons. Sg't. Schulz Syndrome: "Zey Know Nozzing!". This reporter is quite certain most of them have psychological or psychiatric problems as well, like delusions & hallucinations.

Senator "I Know Nutting! Nutting!"

In sad contrast w/ an American giant like John Coltrane, more of Alabama's Senior Senator & his tiny, simple mind:

To follow on from the furry kerfuffle (furkuffle?), the following caught my attention. Via RawStory: EXCLUSIVE: Close Trump ally admits he doesn’t read — as only his opinion matters.

“No, I read very little,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) told Raw Story. “I want my own opinion, not somebody else’s.”

Cheeses, this dumb-ass mo-fo is exactly 364 days younger than this reporter. Let's hear it for the State of Alabama & Southern Arkansas Univ. Good job, cracker morons!

There's more. (He may already be under robot control. Seriously.) I s'pect Sen. Potatobrain is functionally illiterate. People who say they don't read or don't like to read usually have trouble reading anything. That's why STOP signs are red & octagonal (For the illiterate, that means "eight-sided".) Because many of the sub-humans out there couldn't read their way out of a paper bag. And illiterate fucking dimbulbs are everything wrong w/ this shithole nation. When do we start dealing w/ this clear & present danger, & by any means necessary?

Brainstorming: How 'bout having the illiterate crackers replace the migrant farmworkers they want deported, & have the goobers work in the fields for board & room? The South seemed to like the idea 150+ yrs. ago.

Via Ten Bears; I thought this was an amusing addition.

Does anyone really believe this Red-baiting? This reporter is a child of the '50s, but by the mid-'60s this stuff was laughable propaganda. Joe McCarthy, anyone? Maybe you have to be 80 & stupid to swallow this now. Yet who's sucking up to Comm-u-niss China at this moment?

Republican racist (Redundant?) Bo French has retrieved "Bolshevik" from the dustbin of history.

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.

Alexander Bolton / The Hill:   Cornyn won't vote for Bo French in Texas race

Carlos Nogueras Ramos / The Texas Tribune:   One group has stayed mostly mum on Bo French's racist post — Texas' oil and gas industry

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.

Proof from the states: the right wing attempt to repeal the 20th century

We read the legislation introduced across all 50 states this session and pulled out the worst of it. 1,182 bills, 48 states, everything from abortion bounties to studying chemtrails to a proposal to legalize cockfighting against robots.

Abortion bounties, brass knuckles, chemtrail studies and a bill to bring back the gas chamber. All of it introduced this session.

Republicans are trying to make a case at their convention in Dallas this week that they’re responsible stewards of the government, while their opponents are extremist ideologues. However, a review of legislation introduced across all 50 states indicates that they are the ones with an extremism problem. From banning no fault divorce to studying chemtrails, the Republican Party has gone off the rails.

Delusional paranoids, sex criminals, & racist pigs, every last one. It's long past time to commit them to the asylums & throw away the keys.

Shorter Trump Appointee: "No Jewish Science!"

Heard this one before?

In a 2023 interview, Trump’s new FDA pick laid out a vision for ‘conservative-based’ science

Probably not, because you are ignernt buffoons. Learn something, it probably won't kill you.

When the Nazis entered the political scene, Lenard quickly attempted to ally himself with them, joining the party at an early stage. With another Nobel laureate in Physics, Johannes Stark, Lenard began a campaign to label Einstein's relativity as Jewish physics.

Lenard and Stark benefited considerably from this Nazi support. Under the rallying cry that physics should be more "German" and "Aryan", Lenard and Stark embarked on a Nazi-endorsed plan to replace physicists at German universities with "Aryan physicists". By 1935, though, this campaign was superseded by the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. There were no longer any Jewish physics professors in Germany, since under the Nuremberg Laws, Jews were not allowed to work in universities. Stark in particular also tried to install himself as the national authority on "German" physics under the principle of Gleichschaltung (literally, "coordination") applied to other professional disciplines. Under this Nazi-era paradigm, academic disciplines and professional fields followed a strictly linear hierarchy created along ideological lines. In his 1938 paper, "The Pragmatic and the Dogmatic Spirit in Physics", Stark contrasted a "pragmatic spirit" driven by experimentation, against a "dogmatic spirit" dominated by theoretical frameworks. He claimed that pragmatic spirit was exhibited primarily by men of the Nordic race while physicists with dogmatic spirit were primarily Jewish.

This awful person will be soon killing your children w/ "conservative-based race" science & anti-vaccination lies.

Mass-Grave Monday

You fucking Yankee pig-dogs beat the Nazis & the Nipponese, came home & let the very same fascists, wrapped in the flag & carrying the cross, take this shithole nation over because you sissified weakling losers in this nation of closet cases were scared of colored people & Commies. What sad losers.

Every trembling, fearful white pansy in this world of shit & pain should be taken behind the barn & shot in the head, & I'm the man for the job. Ignore me the & the sad truth (or even call the police because you don't like the truth) long enough, & I kill you. Simple, innit?

Or we put them in the barn, seal it & introduce the insecticide/release the whirlwind!

Late to the game, but this relevant number slipped what's left of my mind until today.P.S.: This isn't historically accurate either.Nor is this. Where's the historical outrage? Oh, no colored people to get racist about? O.K., gotcha.

You can also note that the word "classic" is now, like everything else, competely w/o meaning.

Notes & Additions

Blow 46 mins. & 23 secs. on this, which is also linked two items below. Ornstein pulls few punches. Check what will happen to health care, at (26:50). Unfortunately, like many basically square types he seems to think he is obligated to be optimistic about the whole mess.

May I remind you fools of the truth of nihilism:

1. An approach to philosophy that holds that human life is meaningless and that all religions, laws, moral codes, and political systems are thoroughly empty and false. The term is from the Latin nihil, meaning “nothing.”

There is no objective ground for truth. Burn it all down!

And don't mention Trump & his flunkies w/o noting they are the absolute proof that everything is nothing.

We are also amused by John Harwood, who used to be a fairly even-handed reporter for the Wall Street Journal ('though not a bofesideser) & is now at radical Commie "anti-semitic" Zeteo.
