It's Christmastime in Holland, Michigan, and the northerly winds from Lake Macatawa bring a merciless chill to the small city covered in deep snow. The sparkly lights on the trees in downtown luxury storefronts illuminate seasonal delicacies from the Netherlands, photos and paintings of windmills and tulips, wooden shoes, and occasional "Welkom Vrienden" (Welcome Friends) signs. Meet the New Kochs: The DeVos Clan's Plan to Defund the Left Dutch immigrants from a conservative Protestant sect chose this "little Holland" in western Michigan more than 150 years ago in part for its isolation.

  • CNN Laughs Off Trump Sleeping In Court Again
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 05:52 PM

    Apparently, these stories about Lumpy constantly falling asleep in court are getting to him, as he made clear today on Truth Social. And CNN, formerly known as "the most trusted name in news," helpfully went along with this ruse. Source: Raw Story Former President Donald Trump is struggling to hold it together in court, said his former strategist David Urban on CNN Thursday — and one of the reasons could be desperation for a Diet Coke. Since the Manhattan hush money trial began, the former president has been caught on multiple occasions falling asleep in the middle of the trial, and coverage of this has enraged him.

    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:40 PM

    Mike Lindell was a great American success story, coming from nothing to owning a successful business. From being a crack addict to earning millions from his flourishing business. And then he threw it all away for Donald J. Trump, a raging narcissist, possibly a sociopath, who is hungry for power. The pillow salesman is looking rough these days.

  • Cowboy Eric Hovde Keeps Shooting Himself In The Foot
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:39 PM

    Even before he formally announced his campaign to be the Republican candidate to run against Senator Tammy Baldwin, Eric Hovde has been getting hammered on the fact that he is living large in Laguna Beach, California, so that he could do hands on management of his banks out west. In a lame effort to counter this, Eric Hovde made what just might be the most cringeworthy video of this campaign season by going out in an icy lake, because he apparently thinks that is what Wisconsinites do, and then challenging Baldwin to join him in the water: Considering the fact that the only time you will find a Wisconsinite in a frozen lake is during a New Years Day Polar Bear Plunge or if their ice fishing shanty fell through the ice, he didn't convince a lot of people.

  • UN Summit Looks To Form International Tax On The Rich
    Crooks and Liars, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:39 PM

    Tax justice advocates this week are expressing hope that delegates at a United Nations summit aimed at drafting an international tax convention will take the "once-in-a-century opportunity," as one campaigner and researcher said, to place the common good at the center of the global tax system instead of individual and corporate greed.
