It’s easy to make fun of Donald Trump’s brain vomit unleashed on CNN Wednesday. But one of his Big Fibs is seriously threatening the 2024 election. Trump said,… READ MORE
Saw the leeches? When the Federal Reserve announced another interest rate hike today, did you see the little bloodsuckers crawling out of the pockets of Chairman Jerome Powell?
Because his cure for inflation has much too much in common with

The real issue in Coffee County, Georgia is not hacking the voting machines, but vicious vote suppression. When I entered Coffee County, I was greeted by Confederate flags. The Courthouse has glorious Confederate soldier statues in front of it. It’s 200 miles from Atlanta and 200 years back in time. In Vigilante we tell the story of Coffee County, and how Brian Kemp ordered the arrest of… READ MORE
I’ll be straight with you. I’m not big on the theories that there’s some guy in a cave who flips a switch and changes Democratic votes on computer touch-screen voting machines to Republican. Most vote theft happens before the voting, by… READ MORE

In May 2022, Donald Trump launched the film 2000 Mules, accusing literally hundreds of Black men (the “mules”) of stuffing ballot dropboxes in Georgia and elsewhere causing Trump his re-election. Problem: Every single person accused by True the Vote, the makers of 2000 Mules, has been proven innocent — every one. Now, True the Vote’s operatives will face civil action in federal court and could pay heavily for their… READ MORE
As a recovering economist, I can tell you that Fed Chair Jerome Powell increasing interest rates yesterday was no more than shooting the wounded. The wounded: working Americans who’ve seen their real wages get clobbered, down by 1.9% in 2022 on top of a 2.1% hit in 2021. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, working Americans are … READ MORE
This week, a Texas pol, Ben Barnes, confessed that he was personally involved—and therefore an eyewitness to–high treason: The Ronald Reagan campaign’s successful secret deal with the Iranian government to hold 52 Americans hostages so that Reagan could defeat… READ MORE
The UN’s International Criminal Court in The Hague today ordered the arrest of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin for seizing Ukrainian children from their families and deporting them to Russia for forced adoption.
