The stock market is booming. Job growth is high. It’s never been easier to find a job already get a raise. But inflation is bumming out the business community and their conservative allies.
Your Government in Action
•
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, the US government should have began immediately shipping hundreds of masks to every American family from some giant warehouse somewhere. Now it’s the third year of the pandemic and everyone is getting one. If it’s the thought that counts, there hasn’t been much thought.
Classic Inanity Was Much More Fun
•
Remember when stupid people talked about stupid things like reality TV and sports? Remember how annoying that was? Covid talk makes me really miss that.
If We Were on the Other Side of the Ukraine-Russia Crisis

Both Political Parties Have Their Own Big Lie
•
Republicans adhere to the “big lie” that Joe Biden cheated Donald Trump out of the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Democrats adhere to a big lie of their own, namely that Donald Trump cheated Hillary Clinton out of the 2016 election.
