You see? This is what’s wrong with such a large swath of our media lying about, well, everything, all the time. This nutball shooter in Atlanta? The guy who murdered a cop while trying to murder other people? He was shooting at a CDC office – because he believed the Covid vaccine made him depressed and suicidal. When he found he couldn’t get in there, he went over and started shooting at a CVS drugstore, instead.

Oh, he was upset at the recent passing of a dog, too. That part I get. The belief that a Covid vaccine might do anything but vaccinate one against Covid-19? That’s the direct result of a now years long campaign of lies. Now we’ll suffer the effects of our moronic “health” secretary blocking the use of mRNA vaccines because he claims they don’t work.

People who rely on science say the mRNA vaccine saved millions of lives and shutting down work on new channels for it’s use will harm millions who didn’t have to be harmed. And that doesn’t even get into the area of economic leadership. If we abandon research into this new and exciting arena – like we have so many other advanced technologies because Donny prefers coal – we’re surrendering any possibility of leadership in the area. If we’re not leading the way, we’re not profiting from innovation. We WILL fall behind.

So in one move, Team Evil took us backwards in two different ways: We’re going to be sicker and we’re going to be behind in the technology. After hearing about this story, the guy was angry the vaccine made him depressed and suicidal so he shot up a CVS drugstore, I can see we’re already WAY behind in intelligence…

In what can only be described as an amazing coincidence – because in MAGAmerica, we have to pretend actions don’t have consequences – there’s a surge in Covid-19 cases! Here we go again. I guess some people just think it’s bad luck. Why does Covid-19 get so bad when Donny’s in charge? It must be the Dems, right? Biden! It couldn’t POSSIBLY be because Moron 47 insists on stupid over science. It’s like, everything he touches, he destroys…

According to the Guardian, evil Scott Bessent is going to take over control of the IRS. This will make him the (are you ready for this?) SEVENTH leader the IRS has had this year. Bessent replaces a guy named Billy Long, who held the post for an entire TWO months!

All of this is because of a large group of people who believe some of the most amazingly stupid stuff you’ve ever seen in your life. MAGA STILL believes ICE is only rounding up the worst of the worst, rapists and murderers. Nobody’s telling them the ICEholes are just picking up brown people and being as mean as they can about it. MAGA STILL believes undocumented brown people are living the good life on all of that sweet government money they get. They don’t. Mostly, they pay taxes into a system they can’t collect from. But just try to tell a MAGA. These guys are convinced brown people just wander into the country, into a welfare office, and walk out with thousands of dollars in monthly aid.

See, the ICEholes want to use IRS filings to cross-check addresses of brown people for deportation. The unofficial story is that Long, for some reason, declined to use the IRS database to help the ICEholes so he’s out. Of course, the official story is that he was only ever intended to serve in the role for two months because the White House sees IRS Commissioner as a kind of work-study, exploratory thing.

Now Long gets to go be Ambassador to Iceland and Bessent takes the helm of the IRS where he’ll have zero qualms about crosschecking Privacy Act information against ICE target sheets in an effort to help ICE fill their quotas. MAGAmerica sucks. That’s just all there is to it…

NFL football is coming. In fact, it has started. Well, the preseason, anyway. A kicker on the Jacksonville Jaguars made a field goal. A 70-yard field goal! That’s an NFL record. Nobody has ever made a 70-yarder before so you just KNOW that kick, a kick the entire viewing audience watched happen, MUST make the record books for all time and–
Wait, what? What do you mean, “doesn’t count?” Because it’s a preseason game? Records set in the preseason don’t count? Who knew?

I don’t normally watch the preseason. It’s generally more important to the players and coaches than to me. The games tend to be boring. Nobody is running the complex plays they’ll use in the regular season. It’s all about evaluating talent. Most of the time, nobody cares who wins and who loses. But I watched the Niners preseason opener last night. They lost. Who cares? What I wanted to see was Robert Saleh’s defense coming together.

He’s trying to put a new scheme into effect. He can use these games to test ideas while he tests players. He showed some of it last night. Not all of the players were up to snuff on all of the plays but it’s early, yet. I’m glad Saleh is back. There are a LOT of questions about this team going into the season but the skills of the Defensive Coordinator are not among them…

It looks like the MAGA strategy to protect President Pedophile is working. I’m seeing fewer and fewer stories about Trump’s many, many ties to child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein and his moll Ghislaine Maxwell. The stone wall seems to have held. The files will not be released.

So, I’ll just post this bit here. Remember, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were very good friends who seem to have engaged in sex trafficking children together. Epstein is dead and Donny insists it never happened – and who has EVER heard of a criminal who lied about committing the crime? Remember, there are extensive files collected by the FBI on the topic that could well shine a very bright light on who did what to whom.

All the proof he might need to clear his own name but, for some reason, reasons no MAGA could ever fathom, he won’t release it. Oh, well, I guess we’re just going to have to listen to, and believe, the victims…
