Thursday Stuff
Jayar Jackson and Dan Evans of Rebel HQ bring us the story of quack surgeon general Dr. Joseph Ladapo of Flori-DUH!, who was caught changing a study to make COVID vaccines look more dangerous than they are (here)...Ladapo should lose his license at a minimum, and as far as I’m concerned, he should also be prosecuted, but since we’re talking about Ron #DeathSantis-stan, he’ll likely get a medal and a raise instead...
...and speaking of “The Sunshine State,” it looks like “the mouse” has had enough and is hauling #DeathSantis into court; yeah, the FLA guv ended up giving Disney a lot of legal ammunition by yelling about how the company is “woke” in his book (John and Farron Cousins tell us about it...and yeah, big surprise that Disney is using the corporate speech angle to go after #DeathSantis, huh? And great point by Cousins about the timing of going after #DeathSantis when he’s weakest...couldn’t happen to a more deserving scumbag)...
...and Mike Figueredo beings us the tale of this monster named Jake Shields calling for the public execution of anyone helping kids to transition (and yeah, “Apartheid Clyde” and his Twitter butchery of the whole ”blue check” process are definitely a factor here...NSFW/H)...
...and Jesse Dollemore tells us how Dem U.S. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries recently stood up and called out the “party of Lincoln” over their debt histrionics, which (as noted previously) only happens when the “R” party runs at least one chamber of Congress and a Dem is in the White House...
...and given this week’s news of certain cable TV personalities getting ushered out, Rachel Maddow gives us what I thought was an interesting history lesson on Father Charles Coughlin from the 1930s and his influence on public opinion during the years of FDR and the Great Depression...this leads into a discussion of the decline of right-wing mouthpieces including Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly and Carlson and how none of them, big as they were, match Coughlin’s influence in his day...
...and happy belated 70th birthday to Gary Wright.
