Bernie attempts to push the next generation of Tulsi Gabbard and John Fetterman on us.

Tulsi, Fetterman, Crooksy
I’m an OG Bernie hater. When his online weirdos put me on their hate list in 2017, it was a badge of honor. I knew then that he was a grifter. His campaign, his super pac (Our Revolution), an…

Mamdani actually really did poorly in his Mayoral run.

Mamdani Really Didn’t Do That Great
If you listen to the Branch BERNidians, BROhan Zohan Mamdani taught Democrats the way forward. We need more charismatic candidates like him, candidates who promise to defund Israel and give away a …

Why Did Allentown Go With Crooksy Over Carol?

I’m Thankful for Senator Fetterman’s Health Care, but he’s Not as Thankful for Mine
John Fetterman was hospitalized last week, and has since been discharged. Thank goodness he’s ok. I think he’s a bad apple as Senators go, but we don’t cheer for people to die or …

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.
