The Resistance at Work ... and a Couple of Goose-steppers

Let’s talk again about the Resistance, and those standing against the regime, including a chef, a newsman and twenty-eight women … ending with two of the sickest people on the planet today and the very reason we need to resist … but first:

Chef Joe Gera has exposed  “Doctor” Rand Paul for lying about Dr. Fauci and COVID vaccines by revealing that the MAGA senator was himself vaccinated and Gera knows it. He took on Paul on X after Paul posted:

"Remember: Anthony Fauci was all about 'following the science,' until it came to vaccines. He was all about forcing you into compliance, even though we all knew infection was the best protection."

Gera responded to that post with this:

"You were vaccinated. Multiple times. How do I know? Because I cooked an event you attended in early 2022. The venue’s policy was: if you wanted to attend unmasked, you had to be vaccinated (this didn’t stop until April that year at this venue). You also had to RSVP well in advance and provide a negative COVID test before the event. So if you were there, you met those requirements. But by all means, keep bullshitting."

Gera added if we "all knew" that infection was a better hedge against the coronavirus than the vaccines—and it wasn’t—then why did Rand Paul take the vaccine?

Obviously he’s saying this now to pander to the MAGAt base for political gain; that’s why he now says he wants to prosecute Fauci for his imagined crimes and who exposed the doctor's personal diary to the entire world in a political theater stunt.

But that’s Rand Paul, and that’s the GOP and that’s MAGAts.

And that’s Gera, resisting.

At the recent do-over of the White House Correspondents' Dinner due to the staged assassination attempt, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer stood a few feet from Cankles and anchor gave the Wall Street Journal the Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for exposing Cankles birthday letter to Epstein. The letter is signed by Cankles, who insists the signature isn’t his, with a drawing, in an album made for Epstein's fiftieth birthday.

Cankles filed a lawsuit against the WSJ and exposed reporter Khadeeja Safdar's home address and after several threats her family had to be relocated.

The lawsuit was supposed to make the letter disappear but instead it spurred Congress into subpoenaing Epstein's estate to produce the birthday book, and the letter sitting right there, exactly as reported.

And so last week Cankles’ sat on the dais and then had to shake the hand of every reporter he tried to sue into silence, one after another, while the cameras rolled. He spent years and a fortune trying to make this story disappear and ended the night applauding the people who wrote it.

The Resistance.

And speaking of the Epstein Files … it’s twenty-eight women over three decades saying the president is a predator and rapist and pedophile.

And when the story comes back up those who defend this so-called president by acting like there is just one accusation, one lawsuit, or one disgruntled person; not true.

Here’s the list:

1. Ivana _____ [1989, New York] said in a divorce deposition that after she visited her plastic surgeon that Cankles assaulted her; she is quoted as using the word “rape,” though she later said she did not mean it in the criminal sense.

2. Jill Harth [1992-1993, Mar-a-Lago, Florida] alleges Cankles repeatedly groped, pulled her into a bedroom, and pushed here against a wall. Filed a harassment lawsuit in 1997.

3. “Katie Johnson” [1994, New York] Anonymous plaintiff alleged Cankles and Jeffrey Epstein raped her at age 13. The lawsuit was later withdrawn.

4. Jessica Leeds [early 1980s, flight to New York] says Cankles groped her breasts and attempted to put his hand up her skirt.

5. Kristin Anderson [early 1990s, Manhattan nightclub] says Cankles groped her under her skirt.

6. Stacey Williams [1993, New York] alleges that Cankles groped her while Jeffrey Epstein watched.

7. Beatrice Keul [1993, Plaza Hotel, New York City] says Cankles groped her in a hotel suite.

8. Lisa Boyne [1996, New York dinner] alleges Cankles had models walk across a table so he could look under their skirts.

9. Cathy Heller [1997, Mar-a-Lago, Florida] says Cankles grabbed and kissed her at a Mother’s Day brunch.

10. Temple Taggart McDowell [1997, Miss Utah USA] says Cankles gave her unwanted kisses and embraces.

11. Amy Dorris [1997, U.S. Open, New York City] alleges Cankles forcibly kissed and groped her.

12. Mariah Billado [1997, Miss Teen USA] says Cankles walked into a dressing room while contestants were changing.

13. Victoria Hughes [1997, Miss Teen USA] corroborated the dressing room account and said the youngest contestant present was 15.

14. Karena Virginia [1998, outside the U.S. Open, New York City] says Cankles grabbed her arm and touched her breast.

15. Bridget Sullivan [2000, Miss USA] says Cankles entered a dressing room while contestants were naked.

16. Tasha Dixon [2001, Miss USA] also says Cankles walked in on topless and naked contestants.

17. Unnamed Miss USA contestant [2001] says Cankles barged into a dressing room while she was undressed.

18. Mindy McGillivray [2003, Mar-a-Lago, Florida] says Cankles groped her buttocks.

19. Karen Johnson [early 2000s, Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve party] alleges Cankles grabbed her genitals and forcibly kissed her.

20. Rachel Crooks [2005, Trump Tower, New York City] says Cankles kissed her cheeks and mouth without consent.

21. Natasha Stoynoff [2005, Mar-a-Lago, Florida] says Cankles pushed her against a wall and forcibly kissed her.

22. Juliet Huddy [2005-2006, Trump Tower, New York City] says Cankles kissed her on the lips.

23. Jessica Drake [2006] alleges Cankles forcibly kissed and hugged her, followed by offers of money for a date.

24. Ninni Laaksonen [2006, New York City] says Cankles grabbed her buttocks backstage before an appearance.

25. Samantha Holvey [2006, Miss USA pageant] says Cankles’ behavior was “creepy” and that he entered dressing rooms unannounced.

26. Summer Zervos [2007, Beverly Hills Hotel, California] alleges unwanted kissing, breast touching, and genital thrusting. Later she sued him for defamation after he denied her claims.

27. Cassandra Searles [2013, Miss USA pageant] alleges groping and unwanted advances.

28. Alva Johnson [2016, Florida campaign event] alleges Cankles forcibly kissed her.

And then there is the one case that actually went before a jury.

E. Jean Carroll [1995 or 1996, Bergdorf Goodman, New York City] alleges Cankles sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room. In 2023, a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation and awarded Carroll $5 million. In 2024, a second jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million for additional defamation.

While the jury did not find liability for rape under New York’s specific legal definition used in the case, Judge Lewis Kaplan later wrote that the jury’s findings were substantially equivalent to a finding that Cankles raped Carroll as the term is commonly understood.

After reading all these allegations remember that Cankles was caught on tape saying he just “grabs women and starts kissing them” and that he could do that because he’s rich; he also admitted to grabbing women by the pussy.

Now let’s talk about the Epstein files.

For years, people claimed Cankles’ name wasn’t in the files, then some files were released …

July 2025 during the Phase One Release, Cankles’ name appeared 9 times, including at least 8 appearances in Epstein’s flight logs from 1993 to 1996.

November 2025 from the House Oversight Committee Email Release, we found that Cankles was mentioned at least 1,500 times in released materials. Many references involved Epstein discussing Cankles with associates rather than direct communications.

December 19 and 23, 2025 we got the First DOJ Release, roughly 30,000 pages and we learned that Cankles name appeared relatively frequently in this batch, mostly in address books, flight logs, message logs, and previously released Ghislaine Maxwell interview materials.

January 30, 2026 we got the Final DOJ Release, more than 3 million pages, and Cankles’ name appeared more than 3,000 times according to tracking of the release. While Cankles argued the records cleared him, critics argued the volume alone contradicted years of claims that he barely appeared in the files.

February 2026 in a Review of 5,300-file batch, the New York Times’ search tools identified more than 38,000 references to Cankles, Melania, Mar-a-Lago, and related search terms. Not all were direct references to Cankles himself, but the total showed how extensively his name appeared throughout the database.

And then there was one additional document that drew attention … a separate email contained an uncorroborated sexual abuse allegation involving Cankles. NPR reported the accuser was interviewed by the FBI four times, but only one of those interviews, one which does not mention Cankles, is currently included in the public database.

To be fair, there is a difference between saying someone’s name appears in the files and saying there is evidence they committed a crime. But there is also a difference between saying someone’s name appears once and saying it appears thousands of times. And we know that to prove his innocence all he had to do was release it all, but he won't.......

So the record stands: 28 public accusers, one jury finding Trump liable for sexual abuse, $88.3 million in damages, and thousands of references to Cankles-related names and entities throughout the Epstein document releases.

Draw your own conclusions, but burying your head in the sand like the GOP and the DOJ and pretending none of this exists stopped being an honest argument a long time ago.

Now, onto the blatant hypocrisy of Stephen “Pee Wee German” Miller and his wife Katie and their relationship with Dr. Fauci during COVID.

Katie Miller, a former Cankles administration staffer and her husband Stephen are calling for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be jailed, citing the recent release of his private diary entries as proof that he is nothing but an attention-seeker. 

But the diary entries also tell another story of Katie and Stephen and the type of goose-stepping lying hypocrites they both are now and were during COVID.

During Cankles’ first term, when Katie Miller was then-Vice President Mike Pence’s communications director and involved in the White House’s response to COVID, she appeared quite close with the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases. 

In fact, Dr. Anthony Fauci provided regular medical advice to the Millers, counseling the family after Katie tested positive for the virus in 2020 while she was pregnant, when her husband had Covid-19, and when her newborn child had a medical episode; Fauci wrote in his diary on May 9, 2020:

“I am calling Katie frequently to check on her couple time per day. She is very anxious about getting very ill since she is 10 weeks pregnant. Tonight she had an anxiety reaction. I calmed her over the phone.”

He also wrote in another entry how he called the doctors treating Miller’s child directly to discuss the baby’s medical care. 

Senator Rand Paul, not a doctor, released over 1,000 pages of Fauci’s diary last week and quite a few of those entries showed the extent of Fauci’s interactions with Miller before they were later redacted. News of the United States [NOTUS], a nonpartisan digital political news website compared pages before and after the redactions and found that many of the suddenly redacted passages concerned the Millers’ relationship with Fauci, with the original documents mentioning Katie 56 times, while the redacted version mentioned her just 37 times. 

Katie told NOTUS not to publish details of her child’s medical history, claiming that Paul published them without her permission. She also said that despite her regular contact with Fauci during the pandemic, she thought at the time that he was “incredibly self-centered and sought to promote himself above the good of the people” and also added:

“He was not my doctor. He was not my friend. He was a work colleague who called me for work purposes, and in the course of a phone call, you would discuss other things.”

Sure sounds like she sought out his advice for herself, for her child, and also for her husband; he was quite a work colleague who called only for work purposes.

Dr. Anthony Fauci describes Katie Miller in his diary as someone he saw as an ally to help deal with the administration while the Coronavirus Task Force was active. He also spoke to her multiple times while she was traveling to her parents’ home in Texas later in October that year, after her husband tested positive and wrote:

“Am on phone frequently with Katie and Stephen.”

Funny after all that, helping alleviate Katie Miller’s fears of COVID, talking to her about her infant child being diagnosed with the virus, and then with her husband’s own COCID diagnosis, Kate Miller, who lets’ face it, never met the truth she didn’t deny, now blasts Fauci frequently online, accusing him of caring “more about virtue signaling than science” and causing “decades of harm” to children with his leadership of the government’s response to Covid-19. She now speaks often about not vaccinating her youngest child on her podcast.

Even after all the advice she sought him out for, Katie Miller sinks to a new low.

It’s highly hypocritical how she and her husband are now trashing a dedicated public servant and medical professional who went out of his way to help them during the Covid-19 pandemic, when they dealt with the same fears of the virus as every other American. Now the Millers are happy to pile on and blame Fauci for the failures of the Cankles’ regime’s administration’s Covid-19 response.  

One of the vilest, hate-filled, lying hypocritical couples on the planet who both had COVID, as did their newborn child, and now trash the man who helped them because it takes the heat of their bosses’ pedophile scandal, his inept handling of a war for profit he started, and the rampant corruption in his administration.

Fuck them both.

Stand with Joe Gera, Wolf Blitzer, The Women, and stand against the ilk of goose-stepping Nationalist Christians, AKA Nat-C’s, the Millers …

This Bitch: RFK Jr.

Oh sure, he’s got name recognition, but other than that he’s just one conspiracy theory away from a tinfoil hat.

This week Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a press event at an Upper East Side restaurant and served up some wild COVID-19 conspiracy theories. He claims that the virus was a genetically engineered bioweapon “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people:

“COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately. COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese. We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact.” 

Kennedy’s remark are literally taken from anti-Semitic literature that blames the Jews for the emergence and spread of COVID. In an age where anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise, the spread of this nonsense bull shit is dangerous and stupid, but he doesn’t just say that; he goes on to say the Chinese did this and are planning even more:

“We do know that the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethnic bioweapons and we are developing ethnic bioweapons. They’re collecting Russian DNA. They’re collecting Chinese DNA so we can target people by race.”

To be fair, there is a growing consensus among US intelligence agencies that COVID-19 was man-made and escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China  but there is no evidence it was designed to spare certain religious groups or ethnicities, and Kennedy offered no studies to support his claims.

Cuz it’s all bull shit; Kennedy has also claimed that poppers cause AIDS and that tap water is turning children transgender.

UPDATE: Kennedy is incensed that this story got out and claims it’s entirely false:

“The [Post] story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out—during an off-the-record conversation—that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races.”

Sounds like he’s admitting that he said it, while trying to deny he said it. But what he’s mostly irate about is that he was quoted in an off the record conversation. What I am most irate about is that there is a videotape of him saying exactly what he says he didn't say.

Well, I say that’s a good thing, because it once again points out the lunacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Poppers cause AIDS, water makes children trans, and COVID was designed to kill only certain people. Seriously, you don’t even hear the most wack-a-doodle Republicans try to sell these theories and they never met a conspiracy they didn’t try to peddle.

So, please vote Blue, but not this crackpot shade of Blue.

Bobservations

With Carlos’ vision issues, we’ve had to change the way things are done at Casa Bob y Carlos, and one of the things we changed was the setting of the thermostat. We keep it set for heat at 68-degrees, and for the AC at 80-degrees and it works just fine. But Carlos had difficulty seeing the settings and so I set it for him, explaining that there are three buttons along the bottom of the thermostats and the far right one turns everything on.

“Push once for heat. I have it set at 68 and so the heat will come on if it’s colder than that.”

Carlos thought he needed to raise the heat so a couple of times this past winter I came home to find the heat on at 78 degrees. The same for the AC.

“Push the button twice for the AC. I have it set at 80 and it’ll come on when it gets too hot in the house.”

I came home the other day and it was 67 degrees in the house which, yes, should mean he’d want the heater on but …

Anyway, he found a smart thermostat that is voice activated and wondered if we should get one, and I said:

“If it helps you set the heating and cooling let’s get it, but just remember if we leave the heat set at 68 and AC set at 80, we never have to adjust, we just need to push the right button once or twice.”

“I think the voice activated one is better for me.”

“Why? Does it speak Spanish?”

It doesn’t, but he did, and very colorfully I might add.

After the recent cheering by the right at the thought of Roe v Wade being overturned coupled with this latest vote, it isn’t any clearer that the GOP only cares about a fetus, and not a child.

And they don’t care about women, or mothers, at all.

Eric Clapton who fought against COVID mask mandates for his tour last year has COVID must cancel the remaining dates on this leg of his tour.

If only there was something he could have done …

Sorry, not sorry, Covidiot.

We’ve been watching The First Lady on Showtime, which tells the stories of Michelle Obama, played by Viola Davis, Betty Ford played by Michelle Pfeiffer, and Eleanor Roosevelt played by Gillian Anderson.

I adore Viola, but her performance seems more caricature because she changed the way she moves her mouth, pursing her lips in way that seems unnatural to her, though reminiscent of Obama. Anderson is good as Eleanor, though she comes across as quite frail and I never got that impression by reading about Eleanor Roosevelt.

But Michelle Pfeiffer is brilliant as Betty Ford. Subtle, quiet; she reveals the character sometimes without saying a word. I’ve always liked Pfeiffer and thought her a good actor, but she’s amazing in this. The last episode dealt with Betty Ford's mastectomy and Michelle Pfeiffer slayed that role.

I’d watched her alone as Betty Ford.

In the wake of these two latest mass shootings in the United Sates of Guns, ALLEGED mad of ‘g’od Franklin Graham posted to Facebook that only a relationship with Jesus Christ can stop gun violence.

Really, Frank? Really, Cuz, there have been 198 shootings in this country so far this year so please tell me when Jesus is gonna stop the madness.

Or maybe he’s too busy picking winning basketball teams and baseball games.

Fuck all the way off, charlatan.

Jake Daniels, Blackpool soccer forward, has become the first player in the UK to come out as gay since Justin Fashanu in 1990. At just seventeen, Jake made his senior debut for the Blackpool club this month, but wants to be a role model for others in the game by coming out:

“Now is the time to do it. I feel like I am ready to tell people my story. I want people to know the real me.”

Welcome out, Jake, and please accept as our gift from HOMO HQ a copy of the Gay Agenda and the Official Coming Out Toaster Oven™.

Welcome out.

Ps He’s a hot little nugget.

Talk about a snowflake … according to ex-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper’s memoir, A Sacred Oath, Thing 45 once demanded that former General Stan McChrystal and former Admiral William McRaven be recalled into active duty just so that they could be court-martialed for criticizing Thing 45.

Seriously, what a little bitch.

Amid the political backlash with the GOP over Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law, Disney will be donating ALL the profits from its pride merchandise to charities that help the LGBTQ+ community like GLSEN, PFLAG, The Trevor Project, Zebra Coalition, Los Angeles LGBT Center, LGBT Center Orange County, San Francisco LGBT Center, and the Ali Forney Center.

Mickey has zero fucks to give.

Meghan McCain wrote a book after leaving The View that she called Bad Republican: A Memoir in which she “expresses how it is to feel like you no longer fit in with your political party.” The book first came out as an audio book and when a paperback version was released it sold … 244 copies. Ouch.

PS I imagine that hair pin cost her more than the book made.

This is Carlos Lazo, an Italian fitness model, and the question is quite simple: Would You Hit It?

The Bad and Some Good ... Monday May 16, 2022

These really are the easiest posts to compile because there are dumb people everywhere and it seems they are all trying to out-dumb one another with fear and loathing, but there were a couple of semi-bright spots … so here goes:

KENTUCKY

A homework assignment given to several middle-schoolers at Christian Academy of Louisville [CAL] encouraged them to persuade an imaginary friend to reject homosexuality.

Not so much as Don’t Say Gay, as Don’t Be Gay. Screenshots show the assignment required students to write a letter to a hypothetical friend "struggling with homosexuality" and persuade them "God's design for them is good”:

"Assume that you have known this friend since kindergarten, that you go to the same church and that you have been pretty good friends over the years until now … The aim of your letter should be to lovingly and compassionately speak truth to the person you’re talking to in a way that does not approve of any sin. Instead, TRY TO PERSUADE THEM OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD’S DESIGN for them."

CAL School System Superintendent Darin Long said the assignment had been given as “part of a unit of study which discusses 'What are humans and where is their identity, and how a person could discuss homosexuality with a friend from a biblical perspective with compassion and love.

You’re sinning; you’re wrong: that doesn’t reek of compassion and love. Judgement. Not so Christ-like, CAL.

KANSAS

It seems the GOP’s newest strategy to win votes it to trot out that old ‘Gay Is Bad’ mantra that helped George W Bush take the White House in 2000. And Kansas’ junior senator, Republican Roger Marshall, is taking his culture war fight to Hollywood and cartoons.

Marshall sent a letter to the board of the TV Parental Guidelines asking it to update its criteria for the warnings it puts on children’s programming citing “parents raising legitimate concerns on sexual orientation and gender identity content on children’s TV shows.” When asked for a list of the offensive LGBTQ+ programming, Marshall spoke of Netflix’s “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” and Nickelodeon’s “Danger Force” and the idea that normalizing these cartoons will turn kids gay.

I used to watch Bugs Bunny slap on a wig and squeeze into a pencil skirt to pull one over on Elmer Fudd and it didn’t turn me trans.

I also watched plenty of cartoons that were decidedly straight and they didn’t turn me hetero.

As Popeye said, 'I yam what I yam,' and it ain’t no cartoon’s fault..

TEXAS

Governor Greg Abbott and other GOP state lawmakers shifted about $1 billion in federal Coronavirus aid to help pay for their campaign to arrest migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

We just passed a million COVID deaths in this country and the GOP is using money that could have helped a COVID patient in a publicity stunt.

But, hey, immigrants bad.

AMERICA

Retired Army Lieutenant General, disgraced ex-National Security Advisor and QAnon High Priest Loon Michael Flynn is now spouting another ridiculous lie … that COVID vaccines contain “dormant pathogens” that will be triggered into action when 5G towers issue an 18 gigahertz signal for one minute causing the IP36 gene deletion among the vaccinated to be activated and turning them into zombies.

Looks like Flynn’s brain has already been eaten by the undead.

GOOD

TEXAS

The state Supreme Court has ruled that neither GOP Governor Greg Abbott nor GOP Attorney General Kern Paxton had the authority to order child abuse investigations of families that provide certain medical treatment for their transgender children.

The downside is that the court did not go so far as to order a blanket ban on all such investigations, saying that decision was up to the Department for Family and Protective Services [DFPS].

Still, it’s a step …

FLORIDA

Lyman High School students were upset after school officials announced that they would cover up any yearbook photos that displayed any part of a “Don’t Say Gay” student-led walkout last March, causing a delay in yearbook production so the book could fit in with homophobic school board policies.

But the yearbook controversy has ended and Lyman High School students will receive a complete yearbook, without covered photos and captions, after the Seminole County Public Schools board voted unanimously to put disclaimer stickers in the yearbook instead of covering three … three … photos from that student walkout.

The photos in question? Students holding Rainbow flags and a “Love is Love” sign, along with quotes from students sharing their views on the legislation and why they participated in the protest.

A small win, but I’ll take it.

As I said, not a lot of good this week but that means We The People have to make the Good News happen by speaking up and standing up and shouting out and voting to remove those people from office who are out to harm women in their quest to take this country backwards.,

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!

They're Everywhere ... Part Sept

These really are the easiest posts to compile, because, well, they’re everywhere …

WASHINGTON DC

During a Senate video call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday, GOP Senators Marco Rubio and Steve Daines shared screenshots of the Zoom chat to their social media, despite being told not to do so due to concerns about the Ukrainian president’s safety.

These two fools put the man in danger by revealing his location.

This is what passes for leadership in  this country.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.

CASTA  GODDAMNED BLUE VOTE.

FLORIDA

On Friday, the Walt Disney Company responded to calls for action over the Florida House passing the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill that would limit what classrooms can teach about sexual orientation and gender. Disney representatives sidestepped the bill itself  and instead recommitted itself more broadly to LGBTQ+ rights and then claimed its “inspiring content” is action enough.

Yes, cartoons and Gay Day more than make up for the silencing of the LGBTQ+ community.

AMERICA

The Great Trucker Convoy is making its way to DC to demand an end to all Covid-19 mandates and restrictions.

All those mandates and restrictions should be up by the time the MAGAt Convoy arrives, but go ahead, Red Hats., protest something that’s over while spending upwards of $5.00 or more a gallon for gas on your cross-country road trip to nowhere.

KENTUCKY

During a debate over anti-abortion legislation, GOP Representative Danny Bentley falsely said RU-486, or Mifepristone, a pill taken to induce abortion, was developed during World War II and was called Zyklon B, the gas that killed millions of Jews in the Holocaust. He also claimed that “the person who developed (it) was a Jew” and that Jewish women have a lower incidence of cervical cancer because “they only have one sex partner.”

This is what happens when you let men decide the healthcare choices for women.

WASHINGTON DC

Last week, when the House passed a resolution night to declare support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, only three votes were in opposition, all of them … guess what … from Republicans, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Paul Gosar of Arizona, and Matt Rosendale of Montana.

The good news is that the resolution passed near-unanimously with a 426-3 vote.

Also of note is that when a House vote came up for the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act of 2022, which would designate lynching—extrajudicial killings typically committed against Black Americans, particularly during the Jim Crow era—as a federal hate crime the three Republicans who voted against that bill Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Chip Roy of Texas, and Andrew Clyde of Georgia.

Voted against making lynching a Hate Crime.

Again … CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.

TEXAS

Republican Chip Roy is back again because he is concerned, y’all! He says innocent people are dying needlessly because a tyrannical government has grossly overstepped its bounds, and freedom and democracy are under attack and … wait for it … it’s all Dr. Anthony Fauci’s fault.

Appearing on Fox News Roy, an anti-vaxxing loon, used his time not to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but to peddle his conspiracy theory that the government is failing to report deaths caused by the Covid-19 vaccine.

Roy has no numbers to claim, no science to prove his wacknut theory, but he’ll say it because MAGAts will buy it.

Herd Stupidity.

MONTANA

GOP Governor Greg Gianforte—who once assaulted a reporter for asking him a policy question—killed a mountain lion on public land after it had been cornered in a tree for hours by hounds while he made his way from a different site.

What a man; he has dogs chase a gorgeous animal up a tree so he can get in car and drive over and shoot it to prove he’s so macho. Little bitch. I need a mountain lion to drive Gianforte up a tree, or the Montana electorate to drive him out of office.

TEXAS

A few weeks back, in this very space, we talked about GOP Texas QAnon nutjub Bianca Gracia announcing to the world that God had told her she would win her election, and if Texans failed to elect her they were "going to have to deal with it with the Lord."

Cut to last week and Gracia received 7.5% of the votes.

Even God took a look at her and went, ‘Nah.’

Get educated and save yourselves from The Stupids.

They're Everywhere ... Part Cinq

SOUTH CAROLINA

Recently we discussed South Carolina’ Congressperson Nancy Mace’s desperately thirsty video she filmed in front of Thing 45 Tower in Manhattan practically begging him to support her reelection campaign.

He did not. And so now Nancy is singing a new tune about how she doesn’t need him:

“I’m gonna win without him.”

Then she addresses those of us who questioned her begging for his love and support and, well, stepped into the stupid again:

“If you call it groveling, I would say you didn’t watch the video. I think it’s important to know what I said, but also what I didn’t say—present tense versus past tense.”

In the video, which took Mace six takes to get right, she said she supports his policies.

Present tense.

TEXAS 

Cultist GOP Senator Ted Cruz is lying … again … telling people that President “wants to give crack pipes to minorities to destroy minority communities.”

Yes, he did. On a recent edition of Verdict with Ted Cruz, the podcast co-hosted by Cruz and Michael Knowles, Knowles read a question from a viewer, then prompted Cruz to talk about the “crack pipe” smear.

In other words, Senator Cruz tried to paint President Biden as racist by using a clearly racialized and utterly false smear, while also spreading misinformation about harm reduction strategies that save lives.

Fuck.Him

WISCONSIN

A bill allowing workers to submit proof of a previous COVID-19 infection in place of getting vaccinated passed the Wisconsin State Senate.

If the bill is signed into law, employers who require proof of vaccination or regular COVID-19 tests would have to accept “natural immunity” through an employee’s previous infection.

Seriously. The bill passed the Assembly in January and will head to Governor Tony Evers’ desk soon. Luckily, Evers is a Democrat and doesn’t suffer fools.

OHIO

Hudson, Ohio mayor Craig Shubert is a very concerned individual who is worried that creative writing classes will lead to “child pornography” and has now come out as a believer that erecting shanties for ice fishing will lead to prostitution.

Work with me. Shubert says ice fishing should not be allowed on the local river because fishermen would want to set up shanties to stay warm, and that will lead to prostitutes setting up their own sex shanties.

Does Shubert not realize that prostitutes don’t need a shanty, and fisherman don’t need shanties, to have sex? And does he not realize that a frozen river doesn’t scream Come out here and fuck me?

Get educated and save yourselves from The Stupids.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.
