My take-home message is that mainstream white America doesn’t think white supremacy makes him an awful person

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

No one in US political life has used more divisive, demeaning, condescending, bullying, threatening, hateful, violent, or incitement to violence in rhetoric, meme or call to action than the malignant narcissist President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

Matthew Dowd just got fired from MSNBC for...wait for it...telling the truth about who Charlie Kirk was and what he represented. We have no press.

MSNBC issues grovelling apology over analyst’s ‘disgusting’ remarks following Charlie Kirk’s death
MSNBC has been forced to issue an apology for comments by an analyst following the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. The founder of ‘Turning Point USA’ was shot and killed during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. Following the shooting, MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd placed the blame for the shooting on Kirk himself due to his rhetoric. Dowd also suggested that Kirk’s shooting came from a “supporter shooting their gun off in celebration.” The online response to Dowd’s comments was so severe that the network’s president, Rebecca Kutler, has issued an apology. Dowd’s comments quickly went viral online with several users slamming the analyst’s “disgusting” remarks. “Statement from MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler: “During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable. We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise”,” MSNBC wrote.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments.

Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

@theguardian.com - people who describe themselves as Terfs, like John Boyne and J. K. Rowling, aren't "gender critical writers".

They are transphobes and bigots.

Call them what they are.

ALERT: Trump isn’t “threatening” democracy. He’s gutting it in broad daylight. Gavin Newsom’s new ad isn’t a warning — it’s a damn autopsy.

California, Nov 4, vote YES on the maps or enjoy life under the boot.

After the shooting at CDC, Sen. Blumenthal is calling for HHS Secretary Kennedy to fire Dr. Robert Malone — whose Substack posts and other writings are objectively unhinged and tinged with violence — from ACIP and restore the expert panel Kennedy gutted. www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
Secretary Kennedy: On August 8, 2025, a gunman opened fire on the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), killing DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose and leaving public health workers at the CDC and around the nation fearing for their safety after years of increasing threats following the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 While the investigation is ongoing, early reports suggest that the gunman, who fired nearly 500 rounds during the attack, was motivated by his misinformation-fueled belief that his depression and suicidality were caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.2 Just hours before a police officer was brutally murdered and CDC headquarters would be scarred with bullets, forcing hundreds employees into lockdown, Dr. Robert Malone, whom you recently appointed to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), uploaded a post to his personal blog that included an image of a revolver loaded with a single bullet and the words “Five out of six scientists have proven that Russian roulette is harmless.”3 Less than 48 hours after the attack, Dr. Malone issued a meme-filled post that included violent and threatening images that appeared to be directed at government officials, writing, “if you need a disarmed society to govern, you suck at governing.”4 Dr. Malone has displayed an unfathomable failure of judgment and heartlessness for the family of slain Officer Rose, and for the thousands of CDC staff on whom the work of ACIP depends. Dr. Malone’s escalating and violent rhetoric—including in the aftermath of this tragic incident—has no place on a panel responsible for determining immunization recommendations for children and adults throughout our country. I therefore call on you to immediately fire Dr. Malone from his role on ACIP. The shooting of a police officer in the line of duty is not only a criminal act—it is an assault on the stability and safety of our communities. Law enforcement officers and public health officials already face serious risks in their work protecting the public. Those risks are heightened by ideologically motivated attacks, which send a chilling message about the normalization of violence in public discourse. A federal agency must absolutely avoid even the appearance of legitimating such statements by keeping in a position of power someone who makes them. 5 Last week’s profound tragedy shows the harms that result from replacing science with zealotry – not only the increased risk of disease, but also ideologically motivated violence. Appointing Dr. Malone and retaining him in this role would seem to legitimate incendiary rhetoric and dangerous misinformation. Your response must begin with the immediate firing of Dr. Malone, but should rightly include restoring the entire ACIP panel that existed before it was decimated last June. At that time, you replaced 17 sitting members, whose qualifications and expertise were unchallengeable, with conspiracy theorists and purveyors of misinformation. In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about these firings, you lamented that, without your actions, “the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028.”6 Your comment shows how thoroughly the Trump Administration has confused independent scientif… I sincerely hope that last week’s attack will demonstrate to you what should have been obvious from the beginning: Dr. Malone has no business being on ACIP, and the firings you ordered to put him there should never have occurred. Sincerely, Richard Blumenthal Ranking Member Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations

It’s not talked about enough, the fact Kristi Noem has been having an extramarital affair with her security head, Corey Lewandowski, for quite a while. They’re both married. I’m sick of the fake GOP morality vomited by the most ungodly people.

Shreveport,Louisiana has a higher murder rate than San Francisco: in 2023, about 18.3 murders per 100,000 people, while San Fran had about 4 per 100,000.
Mike Johnson, why aren't you working to help your OWN constituents, instead of screaming about crime in blue cities?

No ceasefire

No framework for a peace treaty

No promise to stop bombing civilians

No commitment to withdraw from Ukrainian territory

Plus-war criminal Putin was treated as a respected leader and got to spread propaganda without being held responsible for his actions

Trump is an utter disgrace

Gavin Newsom plans to redraw California’s congressional map to favor Democrats in the 2026 midterms, countering Republican gerrymandering backing Trump. This move signals a defense of democracy, challenges Trump’s long-term influence, and could reshape state and national politics significantly.
