Good thing Hannity admits he is not a journalist. But the Republicans / right wing have never been bothered by hypocrisy because in their minds it is OK if a Republican does it.
The optics on this are terrible. According to a report from The Daily Wire, while First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was visiting war torn Ukraine —on Mother’s Day —President Joe Biden was working on his golf swing, hitting the links with his brother Jimmy. Meanwhile, across the world and in a literal war zone, First Lady Jill Biden was doing Joe’s job. No word on how Joe’s golf game went.
A man in FDNY clothes seen taunting pro-abortion rights protesters outside a church, in a video that went viral this weekend on social media, isn’t actually affiliated with the department in any way, officials said Monday.
The man, wearing a jacket with various FDNY logos and an “America First” cap, appears to tell the women they do not have a choice in having children; he appears to tell one woman that her body is his and she will have his baby.
The video was shared by far-right members of Congress like Rep. Paul Gosar and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who both called the man and his fellow counter-protesters “heroes”. The video stirred enough controversy that “FDNY” was a trending topic across the United States on Twitter Monday morning.
Read the full article. Watch Gosar’s creepy video.

Christian Republicans support raping and imprisoning women, that’s your daughters, etc, America.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church still claims to represent morality and wants to raise your kids, when the ones they already raised are clearly boorish rapist thugs.
Typical Republican, the rules don’t apply to her. Far too many in congress feel that the job is a golden ticket to increase their personal wealth. I wish the punishment was to take twice the illegal amount away from her but the people making the rules … are the same people that are breaking them.
Rep. Lauren Boebert continues to have troubles with her campaign finance filings. In a warning letter from the Federal Election Commission made public on Thursday, Boebert’s latest campaign finance filing for the first quarter of 2022 shows her campaign accepted as much as $30,000 in contributions that exceed federal campaign finance limits.
The six-page letter notes 20 separate incidents where the campaign took more than the $2,900 that is allowed for individuals to give in any one election. Her campaign has been cited several times in the past for similar filing problems, including accepting donations in excess of limits, and under-reporting beginning and ending balance totals.

Important, I think, to keep in mind what the ultimate goal of today’s Republican Party is: the establishment of a theocracy in the United States. That’s the “command” coming from the party’s puppet masters, the religious right. Any government department that gets in the way of establishing that theocracy is, for them, the enemy.
Readers here will recall the theofascist monster, Betsy DeVos, that the Mar-a-Lago rapist appointed as his Secretary of Education. Fortunately for America, she failed in her mission – which was to destroy the country’s public school system.
Education of the public is a threat to theofascists.

Video footage showed people waving Nazi flags at the entrance to Disney World in Orlando, Florida on Saturday. The original video was posted on TikTok and has garnered over 3 million views as of Sunday.
Many social media users have taken to Twitter to express their outrage and criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for not issuing any condemnation of the incident.
In February, DeSantis refused to condemn a Nazi rally in Orlando that took place over the weekend, claiming that those asking him to condemn it are trying to “smear” him.

Absolutely disgusted to see more Nazis in Orlando and this time they’re targeting Disney; they’re likely motivated by DeSantis trying to cancel Disney for caring about LGBTQ+ kids. https://t.co/5ZNpTgcYPq

As Trump judges prepare to decimate women & LGBTQ rights, recall 2016 front page @nytimes articles assuring US Trump super friendly to gays AND "conservative doctrine" is they don't go after women who have abortion (just providers) https://t.co/itLVFfigPkhttps://t.co/IXbdI7db6S
A 19-year-old Canadian man accused of attacking a trans support centre has been charged for allegedly joining a violent neo-Nazi group that has been designated a terrorist group.
RCMP alleged that Seth Bertrand, of Windsor, Ontario, attempted to join the National Socialist Order, an offshoot of the infamous neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division. Atomwaffen has been connected to five murders since it was founded in 2017.
RCMP said that between February 12 and May 20, 2021, “an individual committed various hate-motivated offences in the Windsor area.”
“As a result of the investigation, RCMP INSET was able to determine that the individual filed an online application to join a listed terrorist entity, the Atomwaffen Division (also known as National Socialist Order), and offered his skills and commitment to do things for this listed terrorist entity,” reads a press release on the arrest.
Last April, Bertrand was charged with three counts of mischief for allegedly throwing a brake rotor through the windows of a Windsor trans support centre and tagging the walls with slurs and a swastika. Local media reports the attack on the centre occurred “sometime on Feb. 21 or 22.” He was also charged with vandalism for throwing a rock through the window of an LGBTQ couple who had a pride flag displayed. Attached to the rock was a note that said “Atomwaffen knows where you are.”
Bertrand has been charged with participating in the activity of a terrorist group “for the purpose of enhancing the ability of any terrorist group to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity.” He faces a prison term of up to 10 years if found guilty.
There’s been a recent rash of neo-Nazi activity in the area where Bertrand was arrested. Earlier this year, a Telegram page was opened, advertising a new “Pro-White activist movement” that was recruiting neo-Nazis in the Windsor and surrounding area. The group’s actions appear to mostly have been pasting “White lives matter” or other neo-Nazi stickers to signs in the area.
“We are a new Pro-White activist movement in Canada,” the organizers wrote. “We are dedicated to preserving our people and way of life.”
Atomwaffen is a neo-Nazi accelerationist group whose main aim is to create chaos to accelerate the fall of society so they can build a white ethno-state from the ashes. The members, who are primarily young men, are recruited online into the violent community. The group aimed to create autonomous cells of neo-Nazis wreaking havoc on their local communities.
Atomwaffen was designated a terrorist organization by the Canadian government in February 2021. The group, and its many offshoots, have been the focus of an intense international crackdown by authorities which has seen multiple members be arrested and sentenced for a litany of crimes ranging from petty vandalism to murder. It’s much smaller and less popular than it was at its zenith several years ago, but it and its offshoots still exist and are active.
Internal chat communications seen by VICE World News show that there have been several Canadian members of Atomwaffen and similar groups over the past five years. Most notably, Patrik Mathews, a former Canadian Armed Force reservist, was found to be a member of The Base and went on the run after being exposed. He was arrested in the United States after an FBI operation found members of the group were plotting assassinations and mass murders. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.
This is the first time someone in Canada has been charged with terrorism offenses for joining a neo-Nazi accelerationist group.

Only the Christian religion should be able to fly flags and push their religion on others. Other religions shouldn’t have any rights in the coming theocracy of the United States of Jesus.
Via press release from the red-caped Catholic loons:
Satanists are trying to fly a Satanic flag over the Boston City Hall to celebrate “Satanic Appreciation Week.” After the Boston City Council refused to allow a Satanic invocation, the Satanic Temple has continued to plague the city to promote Satanic ideology.
Often, the Satanic Temple’s flags contain a goat skull, or other dark symbols of death and decay .
There is no room for Satanism in public. After giving way to a devil group, who is to keep out other hate groups from flying their colors, like Nazis or Anarchists?
Worst of all, flying a Satanic flag would constitute a grave spiritual danger for the city, will break society’s horror for the devil, and will be a serious mockery to God.
Please sign our petition to the City of Boston, urging it to stand strong in its rejection of Satanism.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision that the city of Boston was wrong to refuse the Christian flag when it allowed other organizations to use the flagpole in front of city hall. I’m thankful the cancel culture lost one! https://t.co/qGAyD4UVJP

According to a transcript of the interview provided by CBS, Esper told correspondent Norah O’Donnell, “it’s important to our country, it’s important to the republic, the American people, that they understand what was going on in this very consequential period — the last year of the Trump administration.”
“And to tell the story about things we prevented: really bad things, dangerous things that could have taken the country in a dark direction,” he added.
“At various times during…the last year of the administration, you know, folks in the White House are proposing to take military action against Venezuela, to strike Iran,” Esper replied. “At one point, somebody propose we blockade Cuba.”

Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s cash-strapped campaign for re-election received a donation Friday from the cousin and business associate of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, according to a report filed Sunday night with the FEC.
Andrew Intrater, a U.S. citizen who’s an asset manager for New York-based Sparrow Capital Holdings, contributed $1,000 to Cawthorn’s campaign.
Intrater’s cousin and, at least at one time, biggest investor is billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, who has been under U.S. sanctions since April 2018. Last month, Spanish police, with assistance from U.S. law enforcement, seized Vekselberg’s superyacht on the resort island of Mallorca.
