Biden's Earpiece, beloved by all LLR's and NeverTrump pedophile defenders, has announced they will "solve" the Ports logjam by....(wait for it) .....(wait for it) .....fining the shippers!!!

Yes. Biden's Earpiece policies, which were praised endlessly by our own LLR Chuck, created an impossible chokepoint in our ports and now Biden will be fining the shippers.

What utterly "perfect" neocon/democratical/LLR/NeverTrump policy.

Perfect.; 10/28/21, 3:40 PM

A great Homecoming event gets dissed by some goo-goo with an education advocacy group (membership 1?) and all the photos get taken down and somebody is getting "disciplined" -- not the good kind. That is so wrong! Finally someone is getting life right, with a little fun and happiness -- in fact, "Happy" is the principal's nickname. So apt!

Some Temperance lady comes in with her axe and all those good feelings get turned into shame. Will the prudes never stop?; 10/28/21, 4:20 PM

Seems like only yesterday LLR Chuck was crowing about the amazing Biden's Earpiece economy.

Now?

I suspect we will shortly see a joint effort by the Dispatch/Bulwark/HalfofNationalReview to lob out a column or 2 on "The Conservative Case For Stagflation" along with supporting quotes from Pelosi's pet rocks, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.; 10/28/21, 4:23 PM

This...mindset? must be influencing quarterback Patrick Mahomes little brother to make cringey TikTok dance videos. (Link to a critique video of the tiktok videos)

It may sound cruel, but like the song goes, "you gotta be cruel to be kind" with stuff like this.; 10/28/21, 4:55 PM

Daryl Watts scored twice, including the game-winning goal during overtime, to lead the Badgers (12-3-1, 12-3-1-1-1-1 WCHA) to their fifth WCHA regular-season title in the last six years. This also marks Watts' second OT game winner of the year.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it “up to here” with Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. For the good of the Republic, we should all chip in and buy them a one-way ticket back to West Virginia and Arizona. And keep them there.

In fact, the most insane rumor floating around Washington this week was that Manchin might leave the Democratic Party and become a Republican. Are you kidding? He’s never been a Democrat, and neither has Kyrsten Sinema. They’re not team players. Each of them is in it only for themselves. And each of them is willing to single-handedly destroy the legacy of President Joe Biden just to make headlines and satisfy their own warped ego.

Consider the damage they’ve done so far. With control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, Democrats literally had the opportunity to transform America, passing the single greatest for-the-people program in history, surpassing even the record of FDR and LBJ: Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill.

But that will not happen, thanks to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Whatever bill, if any, emerges from the current legislative chaos will be smaller, weaker, less effective, and less transformative, thanks to those naysayers. The political landscape is littered with the bodies of important social safety net programs the two senators have killed.

[Lists all the "free stuff" that Manchin and Sinema are blocking]

In a way, it’s worse dealing with Manchin and Sinema than with Donald Trump. Because at least, going in, you know he’ll never agree with you on anything. He doesn’t pretend to be with you, then stab you in the back.

Worse than Trump! LOL!; 10/28/21, 8:25 PM

'We got to take white people out': Rutgers University professor, 41, calls white people 'villains', says 'Critical Race Theory is just the proper teaching of American history' and praises dwindling white birth rates in online discussion

Brittney Cooper, 41, said that whiteness 'totally skews our view of everything,' adding that she 'thinks that white people are committed to being villains'

She made the shocking comments to The Root Institute's Michael Harriot during an online conference titled Unpacking The Attacks On Critical Race Theory

Cooper also said that 'white people's birth rates are going down' because they can't afford children but was sure to note that 'they kind of deserve it'

The Root Institute's description of the conversation called it 'a healthy dose of reality'

Cooper is a professor at Rutgers University where she teaches classes on women's and genders studies

Seems that at least some proponents of Critical Race Theory qualify as deep-dyed racists themselves.; 10/29/21, 1:27 AM
