Death by Stupidity

This is horrible: Attorney Mark Mayfield was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday at his Ridgeland home. Mayfield, vice chairman of the Mississippi Tea Party, and is one of the three men charged with conspiring with Clayton Kelly to photograph U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran’s bedridden wife in her nursing home and create […]

GOP Establishment Turns Out Democrat Voters to Defeat Conservative Candidate

Remember that headline, bookmark this page and circle June 24 on your calendar, because the result of Tuesday’s primary runoff in Mississippi was an ill omen that portends Republican defeat in November. Check back here on Wednesday, Nov. 5, to see if my helpless sense of dark foreboding doom is correct, but today it seems obvious: […]

Internet ‘Porn Diva,’ 19, Arrested for Bisexual Video Orgy With Girls 12, 13, 14

The police affidavit in this case is astonishing: Bianca Byndloss, 19, and her co-defendants Christian Hernandez, 19, and Brian Yanes, 18, engaged in a May 25 orgy with three girls ages 12, 13 and 14. All are charged with multiple felonies and it looks like an open-and-shut case because all three suspects and also the […]

Is the Mississippi GOP Corrupt?

The dishonest effort to re-elect Thad Cochran hits a new low: The “super PAC” supporting the senator . . . is paying African-American leaders, including Bishop Crudup, to help lift black turnout on Tuesday, said Pete Perry, a Republican strategist here who is working for the group.

Denise Harvey, 45, molested a 16-year-old Florida boy. Denise Harvey is from Indian River County, the same community that is also home to notorious sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt. Some people may think exiling criminal perverts to Canada would be adequate punishment, but Florida officials want her extradited: Vero Beach fugitive Denise Harvey is claiming refugee status […]

Does the GOP Establishment Endorse Thad Cochran’s Bestiality Nostalgia?

In a speech, the senile old fool distinguished Senator from Mississippi waxed nostalgic about his youth, when he did “all kind of indecent things with animals,” a practice he ascribed to the region’s “culture.” Does the National Republican Senatorial Committee endorse this sort of thing? Are they pro-bestiality or anti-bestiality, or will they need to […]

Virginia Shocker: Cantor Canned

by Smitty Virginia is for lovers of elections and political gymnastics. Since its 2009 inception, the Tea Party had run an insurgency to force conventions for state-wide elections, which resulted in (what I thought) was a dynamite slate for last November’s elections: Cuccinelli/Jackson/Obenshain. Alas, the GOP elite didn’t seem to care much about this off-year […]

Virginia GOP Pulls a Fast One

A Democrat member of the Virginia state Senate has announced he will resign, a move that will likely prevent newly elected Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe from imposing ObamaCare on the state — and this appears to have been arranged by Virginia Republicans in a thoroughly Machiavellian maneuver that will give GOP control of the state Senate.
