Comment on Vibrant festivities kick off the Year of the Dog

Proud insurrectionist Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to spread the Big Lie at this Saturday's Turning Point USA conference, while pretending the MAGA mob on January 6th was just some peaceful protest. Here's Greene getting the cult worked up into a frenzy ahead of Trump's appearance. GREENE: You know, November 4th, 2020 is when the real civil war in this country started.

Donald Trump went to Detroit on Saturday to attend a community forum to chip away Black voters from President Joe Biden ahead of November's 2024 election. But just as Trump supporters had to create AI images showing the ex-president being embraced by Black people, the crowd at the 'Black church' sure looked pretty white to me.

In their latest attempt to put lipstick on a pig, i.e. convicted felon Donald Trump, the MAGA media have published misleading videos from the G7 summit in Italy that Murdoch outlets and others falsely claim caught President Joe Biden wandering aimlessly away from a gathering at the G7 summit in Italy last week. PolitiFact corrected the record in a post labeling the “wandering” claim as “false.” Among the liars promoting it were the RNC, now controlled by Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump; RNC Research, a Xitter account managed by Donald Trump’s campaign; and a Daily Mail TikTok. The Murdoch media did their part to promote the lies for their favorite felon, too.

Above, Daryl Hall (and Dave Stewart) covers the Eurythmic's Here Comes The Rain Again. Yup, climate change is here. What are we gonna do about it? Wonkette proclaims President Handsome Joe Biden is kicking ass on climate change. Diane Ravitch's Blog has something to say to Texas: the two political parties are very different. Cassandra's Grandson rounds up a bevy of climate change links, starting with the recent rains and flooding in Floriduh. The Conversation tells us that the US is losing our wetlands, and suggests how we might save them.

Donald Trump hosted a Turning Point USA rally in Detroit, Michigan, where he sounded (I know this will surprise you) like an absolute nutcase. The former reality TV show star turned President turned convicted felon spun tales of a world collapsing with President Joe Biden at the helm. He told of inflation (inflation is way down, by the way), and "China is on the march." Oh, scary!
