The Coronation of Queen Kamala: Why Are You Peasants Such Racist Sexists?

While I usually watch CNN (so you don’t have to), the past couple of days I’ve tuned into MSNBC to see what the real Kool-Aid drinkers are saying, and oh, boy, let me tell you it’s exciting!

Exit Strategy? Biden Tests Positive for COVID, Retreats to Delaware

Talk about a contrast: While Donald Trump is dodging bullets like an action-movie hero, the elderly resident of the White House contracts the virus that most of us long ago stopped worrying about: President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday, the White House said. The president, who was delivering speeches in Las Vegas, […]

Adam Schiff Joins Dump-Biden Coup

The best week ever just keeps getting better: Internal polling must be showing a disaster is coming for the Democrats because Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) is now publicly urging President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential election.
