Know The Facts and ...

Here's some more information, more facts, of what's happening in this country and what  we want, what we’re getting, and how do we make our needs heard …

Start small … Every Democrat who votes for Jeffries as Speaker deserves a primary in 2028!


Nearly 35 years since measles was eradicated in America Pennsylvania has confirmed two measles-associated deaths; of note is that neither person had received the measles vaccine. One of the deceased was a newborn who contracted the virus before birth; state health officials classified it as a measles-associated death due to positive postmortem test results.

Pennsylvania has reported more than 420 confirmed measles cases across 30 counties this year. Two doses of the MMR [measles, mumps, and rubella] vaccine offer about 97% protection against the virus so people don’t have to start dying from measles again.

Vote Blue to end this anti-vaxxer bull shit and keep people from dying.


A Minneapolis rally organized by Jake Lang—a former GOP candidate for Senate in Florida and January 6 thug who Cankles pardoned—descended into chaos on August 23 when a counter-protester dressed as Spider-Man appeared to punch Lang in the face.

Lang was holding a sign containing an anti-Black racial slur during the rally outside Minneapolis City Hall which was organized in response to the conviction of Shiloh Hendrix, a white woman who was found guilty of disorderly conduct after directing the same slur at an autistic eight-year-old Black boy at a playground in nearby Rochester.

Racists do stick together. So, Lang and his supporters were at City Hall for only a few minutes before the demonstration devolved into violence and they fled the area but video from the event clearly showed a man dressed as Spider-Man, later identified as William Nicholas Love, striking Lang in the face.

Love was among 11 people arrested and has been charged with assault, while Lang was also arrested and charged with inciting a riot.

Lang, who is filled with hatred for nearly everyone, had previously staged anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim protests in Minneapolis, and tried to burn a Pride flag during an anti-LGBTQ+ demonstration and has long been the subject of violent confrontations with counter-protesters.

So there’s that, but there’s this, too:

The Spider-Man footage has since gone viral online and a GoFundMe  for William Nicholas Love’s legal defense has raised almost $90,000 and counting …


Listen up MAGAts …

No matter what he says it’s still the Gulf of Mexico and always will be.

No matter what he says it’s still the John F Kennedy Memorial Center and always will be.

No matter what he says it’s still Lake Ontario and always will be.

No matter what he says it’s still the Department of Defense and always will be.

And lastly, no matter what he says he is still an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon who is in the Epstein Files.

 

In Texas Hood County Constable John Shirley took action last week when he disabled and covered up all three county-owned Flock Safety automated license plate readers. The defiant move came after a unanimous decision by the Hood County Commissioners Court to terminate its contract with the tech company amidst rising citizen pushback and contract performance issues.

In a public statement on social media, Constable Shirley shared photos of the covered devices, telling the surveillance company to ‘come get your garbage out of my county’ and asserting that the protection of everyday privacy must come before indiscriminate data collection.

While law enforcement agencies advocate for Flock Cameras as indispensable tools for locating stolen vehicles, missing persons, and suspects, civil liberties advocates argue they facilitate continuous, warrantless government surveillance.

Big Brother is watching … but not in Hood County thanks to Constable John Shirley.


Pay attention…

You cannot hack a mail-in ballot.

You cannot keep a mail-in ballot in line all day.

You cannot tell a mail-in ballot that the machines aren’t working.

That’s why Cankles’ and the Regime are so desperate to stop mail-in voting.

 

Democrat Alexander Vindman blindsided the GOP after losing his Senate primary to Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon by announcing that he's transferring $250,000 from his war chest to key Democratic races:

“Voters across the country, especially here in Florida, know that nothing is more important than flipping the U.S. Senate. The only way to cut costs for working families, root out corruption in D.C., and finally hold [the Regime] accountable is to deliver a Democratic majority this November. I am proud to invest in Florida and across the country to make sure Democrats win big on Election Day up and down the ballot.”

The money will flow into the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to boost the campaigns of Senate nominees Charles Booker, Sherrod Brown, Roy Cooper, Abdul El-Sayed, Troy Jackson, Chris Pappas, Mary Peltola, Josh Turek as well as Dan Osborn, who has no formal party affiliation, in Nebraska.

On top of that, Vindman’s defeated campaign has donated an additional $400,000 to the Florida Democratic Party to help win elections across the state, including Angie Nixon's, whom he promised to support.

This is what true patriotism and resistance looks like.

Thank you Alexander Vindman!

 

Nearly 2 out of every 3 hired farm workers in this country were born in Mexico but if they’re taking “our” jobs where are all the American farm workers? Where are all the MAGAts who complained they were losing jobs to Mexican immigrants?


Gary Indiana has been without power for 2 weeks now.

Gary Indiana’s population of 68,000 is 775 Black.

Gary Indiana has eight data centers draining its power grid.

The president has not uttered one word about Gary Indiana.

Pay attention and vote accordingly.

 

There is something deeply funny about billionaires convincing a man making $52K a year that the greatest threat to his freedom is another worker who speaks Spanish and makes $14 an hour.

That immigrant didn’t outsource your job.

That immigrant didn’t buy your hospital.

That immigrant didn’t raise your rent.

That immigrant didn’t eliminate your pension.

You are being pickpocketed while somebody points dramatically at the guy standing next to you.

 

On March 19, 2026, Chinese customs rejected a 22-ton beef shipment from an ArreBeef plant in Argentina after finding it contained Chloramphenicol, a dangerous chemical banned in livestock production since 1995.

And that’s the beef Cankles’ wants Americans eat because he says it will save us money.

 

And if you don’t think your vote matters, think about this:

Your landlord will vote for the party who will help him raise rents.

Your boss will vote so more money goes into his pocket and not yours.

Anti-abortionists who want to take away a woman’s right to choose will vote.

Evangelical Christians who want to use their faith to govern you will vote.

Your racist uncle, brother, neighbor, co-worker will vote.

So CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE!!!


And on a personal note to the people of South Carolina …

If you’re ever feeling like you don’t believe in yourself or can’t achieve your dreams, remember that Darline Graham became a sitting member of Congress while knowing literally zero about anything, and admitting to that, and thinking that one-seventh of the entire population of the US lives in South Carolina.

We can do better than stupid so do the thing in November.

We’re in a bit of a fire warning stage here in South Carolina because of the heat and while Carlos and I were out running errands on Tuesday we must have seen four or five fire trucks racing down the roads and here’s what gets me …

PEOPLE DON’T GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!

They speed up and maybe move slightly to the right but they keep driving and it pisses me off so I began a rant to Carlos about people not getting out of the way. As you know, my rants go on and on and on and how I think fire trucks should have cameras and any car that doesn’t get out of the way their license plate should be tagged and they should be fined. When I finished I looked at Carlos for his reaction.

Asleep.

“Are you sleeping???”

“No!”

“What did I say?”

“You were talking about the drivers.”

And so I guess he was awake but then I thought again …

“What about the drivers?”

“That they all drive too slow and brake too much.”

“And the fire trucks?”

“What fire trucks?”

Gotcha!

This Tale of Tuxedo is from January 2011 …

You know, what goes around........

Tuxedo was my feline caregiver when I was sick--with Carlos being my human nurse. He was sitting at my side, or rather, he would sit on me, leading me to think he was one of those Death Cats, waiting for me to, ahem crossover. Now, I know that all he wanted was for his Daddy to get better.

And I am getting better.

So, when Tux needed a little pampering, well, he got it. He curled up in a Afghan my mother made for me, and napped, while I periodically checked on him, and brought him snacks, and sat on him, well, by his side.

Here's to my Round-The-Clock Nurse, Tuxedo.

Ian Charleson [left] told the theater company he was recovering from sinus surgery when he was actually dying of AIDS and had just agreed to play Hamlet at the National Theatre. The part became available after Daniel Day-Lewis walked off the stage mid-run, collapsing during the scene where Hamlet meets his father's ghost; Day-Lewis later claimed he had seen his own ghost. So, Ian  Charleson took over, and outside a few close friends only the director, Richard Eyre, knew what it was costing him to stand up there.

He opened on 13 November 1989 and actor Ian McKellen was in the audience that night and so overwhelmed by Charleson’s Hamlet that gifted Charleson his own Best Actor award. But after that first night Charleson never appeared on a stage again. He died eight weeks later, on January 6, 1990 at age 40.

But this isn’t about his brilliant performance it was about what he did after he died, something nobody in Britain was doing in 1990: he left instructions that his cause of death, AIDS, be made public and his was the first show business death in the country openly attributed to AIDS.

A hero and an icon even in death.

American audiences know Charleson from Chariots of Fire, where he played Eric Liddell, the Scottish runner who wouldn't race on Sundays. And now Andrew Scott [right], an out gay actor and quite a handsome fella, is playing him now in Elsinore, the story of Charleson’s life and death, which opens in London in October and reaches US theaters in November.

I only found out the neighbors were having a party when the cake deliveries began showing up … I’m looking forward to my invitation.

I’m gagged … South Dakota ex-Governor and ex-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi DogKiller Noem has unveiled a statue of herself.

Seriously. But the best part of all this was the influx of alternate Noem statues with her cross-dressing husband, or her love of plastic surgery, or her audition statue to play Freddy Krueger, or the one of her killing her dog.

The only one I couldn’t find was of Kristi on all fours taking it from behind by her married lover Corey Lewandowski.

Noem is said to be mulling over her future in politics but I think she’s better suited to statuary.

Recently, under orders from DUI Hire Pete Hegseth the Navy ended a 43-year contract with The Sewing Box, a Black-owned family business who made the Blue Angel uniforms. The last five-year contract with The Sewing Box paid out $400,000 to the business but rather sticking with a long-term arrangement Hegseth signed a new contract with another company and is paying them $1.69 million.

Sounds about white for a racist, misogynistic, transphobic drunken former Fox News talking head.

Taylor Fresh Foods (Taylor Farms) has issued a recall on 20 ready-to-eat products containing jalapeños due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall follows a prior July voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce over Cyclospora concerns.

Boycott Taylor Farms until they can prove their products are safe.

It's not so much that Cankles snuck away in a catering container because of some threat that Iran was going to shoot the plane down; it's that he left the entire Air Force One crew and the innocent Press Pool behind as decoys while he crawled into a food truck.

He doesn't have a single moral fiber in his body though he does have an ass the size of a VW that had to be lubed with Hellman's Mayo to squeeze it into that food cart!
