Grinchy Paul

Fun fact: Rand Paul is a jerk.

When Kentucky Senator Rand Paul isn’t screaming lies and conspiracy theories at Dr. Anthony Fauci, he’s blocking disaster relief…at least to states that are not Kentucky. How much do you have to suck to be the most despised Senator from your state even when the other senator is Mitch McConnell?

Rand Paul likes to argue he’s consistent in denying disaster relief to places hit by hurricanes, places such as Puerto Rico, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, New York, California, etc, etc. But he’s not consistent as he’s demanding disaster relief for his Kentucky after it was hit by tornadoes earlier this week. Maybe he voted for this one because he’s afraid that if he didn’t, his neighbor would kick his ass again.

During debates over disaster relief (yes, they had to debate this) for Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, Paul said, “People here…

TIME: Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for LGBTQ Youth Can Help Save Lives, Study Finds

Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for LGBTQ Youth Can Help Save Lives, Study Finds
The use of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is significantly related to lower rates of depression, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among transgender and nonbinary youth, according to a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health on Tuesday. The peer-reviewed study comes from researchers at The Trevor Project, a nonprofit focused on suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth, and is the first large-scale study to examine GAHT’s impact on trans and nonbinary young people. The study

Fox’s Flaming Fir

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace surprised viewers and many of his colleagues yesterday by announcing that this would be his last show and he was leaving the network, effective immediately. Shortly after, CNN announced the hiring of Wallace to be an anchor on their upcoming streaming service, CNN Plus.

Wallace turned down a contract extension with a pay raise to jump ship to an actual news network.

Fox News is losing actual news journalists. Brett Bair is probably the only prominent one who remains at the network. Shepard Smith left for CNBC in 2019. Kristin Fisher is another who recently left. Now, goodbye, Chris Wallace, who may have been the network’s best journalist.

Fox News has used Wallace as proof they’re an actual news source while firing Chris Stirewalt two months after he called Arizona for President Biden (which made a huge part of their base leave temporarily for…

It ain’t natural. How does Infidel753 come up with these colossal lists, week-after-week, uninterrupted? I’m not saying he is league with Ol’ Scratch, but I cannot prove that he’s not. It ain’t natural.

And when you are done marveling at Infidel’s place, have you been to our pal Burr Deming’s, who has published his best of the web postcomplete with wry commentary at Fair and Unbalanced?

And to round off your day of avoiding church, you need to spend a few pleasant moments at Scotties Playtime for the Sunday funnies!

Programming note from CalicoJack at the Psy of Life: he’s hit a patch of busitude and will not be posting until next week.

This post will remain on top and fresher posts —if any!— will be below!

Keeping up with the Boeberts

I’m starting to think people like Republican Representatives Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert don’t understand the meaning of Christmas.

Both Congressional goons and full-time MAGATs posted their Christmas cards on social media, which is something politicians do. How nice. Usually, when politicians do that, it’s to display their Christmas spirit and to wish all their constituents happy holidays and best wishes for the new year. Sure, it includes a little pandering but that’s expected. They’re politicians. But, Christmas cards are usually non-partisan. Even Mitch McConnell will send out a Christmas card you can’t disagree with.

But for people like Massie and Boebert, it’s now to express their Christmas spirits as much as it’s to express how vile they are. These people lost their humanity a long time ago, so how can anyone expect them to understand the spirit of Christmas?

Sure, these goons claim to be Christians but it’s not…

Fake Hate Crime Haters

clayjonz's avatarCLAYTOONZ

Quick! Pop Quiz: Name the guy who a Chicago jury found guilty yesterday of faking a hate crime. Now, name the three men found guilty of killing Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.

If you are a MAGAt, you got the question correctly but couldn’t name one of the three white men who chased Ahmaud Arbery down in a pickup truck and murdered him. Hell, you may be a liberal and not be able to name all three men.

This is not to make excuses or defend Jussie Smollett who was found guilty by a Chicago jury yesterday on five counts of disorderly conduct. What Smullett did is not a good thing, but murder is a much more serious crime than disorderly conduct.

Should we be comparing these two crimes? Yes, we should. You may cry that I’m trying to deflect and distract from Jussie Smollett, but Jussie Smollett is a deflection…

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) offered a forceful warning to Republican colleagues during a private lunch on Wednesday, saying former President Trump will come down hard on any GOP senators who vote for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) deal to set up a special pathway to raise the debt limit.
