Democracy Now On The Levi Tillemann/DCCC Scandal
We recently published a short piece on how the Democratic Party leadership has been attempting to force progressive candidates out of state and local races in favor of their own hand picked darlings. In particular, the story revolved around Levi Tillemann, who was pressured by the Party Elite to drop out of a race for…
Read MoreFood of the Clods
By Michael Jay Tucker Okay, so, apologies to H.G. Wells. Food of the Gods was one of his novels, you see. But “Clods,” as in lumps, globs, dullards, twits, and idiots is a bit more fitting for this particular tale. That’s because it involves Alex Jones, the belligerent boss of Infowars. And to explain why…
Read MoreMemo To Fired RedState Writers: Join Us!
So, we learned from The Daily Beast this week that RedState, a formerly conservative but now increasingly merely Right-wing website, has “purged” a number of its writers…including some of its most popular and well-read writers…for the crime of being insufficiently pro-Trump. According to Andrew Kirell and Lachlan Markay, the purge was both sudden and brutal.…
Read MoreDCCC Trying To Force Progressives From Races
There is an interesting piece over on the Intercept’s Website, Secretly Taped Audio Reveals Democratic Leadership Pressuring Progressive to Leave Race by Lee Fang. On the off chance you didn’t know about it, the Democratic Party’s elites have allegedly been working rather diligently against progressive candidates in state and local elections. The DNC and the…
Read MoreStormy Daniel’s Lawyer Says 45 Is Toast
So here’s a lovely thought. We all know, now, about Stormy Daniels and her alleged affair with der Drumpf (you’d think an “adult entertainer” would have better taste in partners, but not for us to judge). We also all know that the Great Orange One has more or less admitted that he did, indeed, employ…
Read MoreWe’re Looking For A Few Good Reads
And from around the web, we have all sorts of interesting stories this week. Presented, now, for your consideration… Wondering why it is that Trump supporters seem to ignore reports of his obvious corruption and incompetence? Well, says the Washington Post, it seems that in a recent poll, half of all Republicans said that the…
Read MoreNotes From The Editor’s Desk: Cohen Takes The Fifth
So, here’s news of interest. We now all know that Michael Cohen, Trump’s expensive lawyer and buck-passer, is going to take the fifth in the lawsuit brought by “adult entertainer” Stormy Daniels. At least that’s what the Washington Post is saying in a recent article (Michael Cohen to invoke Fifth Amendment right in…
Read MoreThe Masochism of Melania Trump
Donald Trump seemed happy this week as he entertained French President Emmanuel Macron, consistently getting so touchy feely about procedings that Macron made a joke about it. Again: Trump is too handsy for THE FRENCH. Perhaps this is due to an overall lack of physical contact, because one person who sure as hell won’t touch…
Read MoreParody Project’s Take On Tom Petty
Remember Parody Project? The musical “group” that does inspired and politically charged covers of major pop songs? Covers which, strangely enough, are really rather good? Well, they’re back. They’ve just done a rather hysterical take off on the late Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” but taking as a theme the current Trumpian…
Read MoreBOYCOTT The Fox News Propaganda Machine
by Marc Keyser, author of TheResistance.blog i Joseph Goebbels was Hitler’s propagandist, just as Sean Hannity is Trump’s propagandist. The only difference between the two is the blue Trump neck tie. What is Propaganda? Propaganda is this litany of sick ideas, fake facts, and false allegations spread deliberately by Trump and his followers…
