Some political humor for the weekend.... Something to lighten the mood from being called lying Trump cultist and such for the past week. Warning, may be triggering for desantis supporters, so they may not want to click on the tweet.

Once a die-hard Trump supporter, always a die-hard Trumper was proven true when the former president attended a town hall on Thursday night with Fox News. Fox News host Sean Hannity was booed by the crowd when he asked Trump about the idea that he should maybe "tone it down" when appealing to moderate voters. Before Hannity could even finish his question, the boos erupted from the crowd. Then, shortly after, they began cheering for the former president, chanting, "We love Trump!" In response, Hannity told the crowd to "leave me alone" as the crowd's disapproval of his question grew...

The rise of generative AI, the buzziest thing in the tech world today, is also on the minds of TV and film writers as they try to reach a fair and equitable agreement to end the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. The dispute between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) has entered its second month, and June gloom is setting in over Hollywood.

[Catholic Caucus] FINDING LA SALETTE: Consecration at the Top of the World ... Introduction by Michael Matt“Rome will lose the Faith and become seat of the Antichrist.” These foreboding words form the most controversial part of the message of Our Lady of La Salette, delivered in 1846 to little Maximin Giraud and Mélanie Calvat in La Salette-Fallavaux, France.Though the message includes not a few hope-filled promises of heavenly intervention and even divine protection, it is described as “Our Lady’s Apocalypse” for a reason. It is not for the faint of heart. Nevertheless, it was officially approved by the Church, and...

U.S. — As tensions between warring camps have reached a fevered pitch, Republicans have taken a significant step in an attempt to make peace, opting to put both former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a "Get-Along" t-shirt. "We tried everything else," said GOP voter Ryan Felix. "We put them each in ‘time out,' we told them to share their toys, and we even limited their screen time, but nothing worked. With them fighting like cats and dogs, the ‘Get-Along' shirt became our best option." Neither party seemed eager to comply with the results of the vote....

MLB legend Steve Garvey is considering entering the race to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) next year, two sources familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner. Garvey, 74, is best known for his nearly two-decade career with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres and winning the National League's MVP award in 1974. The former All-Star has mulled running for public office as a Republican in the past, though he's recently begun meeting with top GOP donors and party leaders as he considers getting in the state's marquee Senate primary next March. “He is seriously considering entering the...

Ron DeSantis isn’t the popular guy he’s made himself out to be.Last Updated on June 2, 2023Ron DeSantis has been attempting to pitch to GOP voters that he gives Republicans the best chance to beat Joe Biden in the general election. However, new polling from swing states proves this argument is another lie from Ron DeSantis.Pollsters informed voters from the critical swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on Ron DeSantis’ votes in Congress. Voters were then asked who they would vote for if the 2024 presidential election was between Joe Biden and Ron DeSantis.When voters were asked,...

The Navy Secretary touted its ships as “beacons in every port of call” for “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” in a message to the force celebrating Pride Month. In the message to the force, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro highlighted Harvey Milk, the first openly-gay candidate to be elected to state office in California, who was also a lieutenant junior grade. In 2016, then-Navy Secretary Ray Mabus named a ship after Milk.

The Count does "Stairway to Heaven." In fact, a combination of two immortal songs, one not even being a Zeppelin song. And in this rendition you actually get to see the stairway to heaven. Wow, what a deal – Zeppelin doesn't give you that! If you like the music please subscribe.

Last week, the Media Research Center (MRC) published a report gleaned from Freedom of Information Act requests that shows how the Biden administration has weaponized the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to target political opponents. DHS provided $352,109 in grant funding to the University of Dayton’s PREVENTS-OH counter-extremism project. The grant application was based in part on the work of openly anarchist Antifa-affiliated Michael Loadenthal, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cincinnati who, by his own admission, is a far-left violent extremist. In 2021, Loadenthal spoke at a “White Nationalism Workshop” and an “Extremism, Rhetoric and Democratic Precarity” roundtable...

Eligible bachelors in the US dubbed “passport bros” are flocking to foreign countries after ditching the American dating pool in search of love overseas — much to the disgust of women on the internet. On TikTok, the tag #passportbros has scored more than 422 million views, featuring clips of men parading their far-flung lovers online while advertising the growing trend. The draw of dating abroad, according to unsatisfied singletons in the US, is finding a “traditional” wife. That is, women who are “raised to be good wives,” dress modestly and submit to their partners. Austin Abeyta is just one of...

Temecula’s conservative school board majority has blocked a history textbook because its supporting materials mention slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk. School board President Joseph Komrosky, who opposed the book, called Milk “a pedophile.” In response, the Temecula teachers union staged a rally and plans another, including before the next Temecula Valley school board meeting Tuesday, June 13. Last month, Temecula Valley Unified School District officials brought the adoption of a book called Social Studies Alive to the board and recommended it be approved for students in first through fifth grades for eight years. The textbook would be used starting...

One of the great secrets of successful institutions is that people are loyal to institutions that are loyal to them. If that pact gets broken at one end then it gets broken at both... This brings me to Donald J Trump. Earlier this week the 45th President sent out one of his trademark insults on his “Truth Social” platform. The target of his ire was not any Democrat or American-hater. It was Kayleigh McEnany, his former White House press secretary. “Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave out the wrong poll numbers on FoxNews,” said Trump. “I am 34 points up on...
