John Kenady climbs out of his 1977 four-tone Chevy van in a Longmont church parking lot, his leashed Rottweiler, Bella, and black-and-white cat, Robbie, in tow. Several empty plastic bottles fall from the passenger seat of his overstuffed home on wheels, bouncing on to the pavement. Kenady picks them up and heads into the church for a hot meal and to use the bathroom — one of 11 homeless people using this parking lot as a secure overnight sleeping spot. “It gives me a place to shower; it gives me a place to eat,” said the 67-year-old mechanic, who has been sidelined from work by a debilitating injury he sustained 20 years ago.

    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 05/14/2024 - 07:13 AM

    If you don't love Jasmine Crockett, well, I just don't know about you. She is a happy warrior, slicing & dicing Republicans--particularly those right in front of her like sad-sack-propagandist, Jim Jordan. In fact, she calls Jim Jordan a Russian propagandist in this video, RIGHT TO HIS FACE. She impugns the integrity and patriotism of Jim's GOP colleagues too--God, has this group of MAGA creeps earned it--and even calls Donald Trump the "C" word!! Yep, Jasmine, like Eric Swalwell, Stacey Plaskett, Gretchen Whitmer, Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, AOC, Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Adam Schiffand I could go on, are our future.

    During breaks with Donald Trump's criminal trial, the former President typically meets reporters off to the side to whine about how cold it is in the courtroom; then he reads snips of articles by people in his toxic right-wing media bubble. Monday was not a good day for Lumpy, so he read Fox News columns aloud as proof that he was innocent.
