Democrats are facing tough polling numbers going into the 2022 midterm elections, in large part because of inflation. They should probably get someone to say something, maybe Joe Biden, but that doesn’t seem like a viable prospect.
Liz Cheney, Hero of the Democratic Party
•
Politics makes strange bedfellows and the enemy of my enemy is my friend but Congressional Democrats’ love of right-wing lunatic Liz Cheney has completely gone off the rails. Yes, she hates Trump but that doesn’t mean she has any integrity.
We’re the Conserva-teases!
•
Whether it’s build back better or a Supreme Court confirmation fight, there’s a certain set of Republicans in the Senate around Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney and Susan Collins who always tease the Democratic counterparts and the media that they might vote Democratic, but they never do.
Time for Accountability on the Uyghurs
•
China’s oppression of its Uyghur minority in the western province of Xinjiang has been well documented for decades but it’s only now, that China is hosting the Beijing Olympics, that the West is finally paying attention. Forgotten in the belated outcry is America’s own role in oppressing the very same people, doing China’s dirty work for it as part of the so-called war on terror.
Can We Make It President Breyer?
•
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was pressured to retire by Democrats who are worried that Republicans would re-capture the Senate and would get to choose his replacement in the event that he were to die at the age of 83. Meanwhile, there is no pressure whatsoever to replace President Joe Biden, even though his mental and physical state are clearly not as sharp as Breyer’s.
Who Do Those Maniacs Think They Are?
•
President Biden gleefully bragged about ordering the assassination of a high-ranking ISIS leader in Syria, which in case anybody forgot, is a sovereign state that is actually at war with ISIS. There is, apparently, little to no legal basis for what he did. But nobody seems to care.
Censorship | Not Censorship
•
The decision of a Tennessee school board to remove a graphic novel about the Holocaust from the eighth grade curriculum has many people crying censorship. But what really is censorship? Why do we not consider economic censorship, the decision not to print something in the first place, less severe than something like this Tennessee decision? Better, after all, to have been printed and sold than to have never been printed and sold.
Death to Stultophobia
•
They’re the last group of Americans it’s OK to mock and insult: stupid people. It’s time for woke people to stand up for these disadvantaged Americans!
Terror Comes to America
•
America’s use of drones against foreign countries is the epitome of might-makes-right policy. It’s extrajudicial, it’s an act of war, it’s brazen murder without justification. The US gets away with it for one simple reason: no one can stop it. And American citizens never put themselves in the position of being the victims, only the perpetrators. What if that were to change? One day it no doubt will.
Democratic Messaging on the Economy
•
It must be frustrating for President Biden to try to convince Americans that they are doing better than they feel they are doing. After all, the stock market is doing well, there is strong job growth and it’s easy to get a raise. But people are really obsessed about inflation and nothing Democrats say is going to change their minds.
