“Cards Against Humanity is offering to pay blue-leaning nonvoters in swing states to create a plan to vote in the 2024 presidential election”

Before the advent of widespread mail-in voting, buying votes was illegal in the United States.  Paying people to vote really is considered an attempt to rig an election. Mail-in voting really has opened the door for all sorts of shenanigans that used to be frowned upon.  But sham certifications...

“Dark oxygen could have been discovered for the first time in history: Experts are worried about what could we do know”

Why do these revolutionary scientific studies magically appear in the nick of time to create controversy?  As reported, the study was conducted in 2013.  The science only became revolutionary when commercial interest in exploiting a natural resource emerged.  And, naturally, the revolutionary...

“Funding represents another example of DHS providing unprecedented resources to support border and interior communities across America”

A proactive political move in preparation for Joe Biden's reelection bid?  A kneejerk response to quench a firestorm of bad press?  Or simply a consequence of unplanned, ill considered policies to pander to migration advocates? If we turn back Mr. Peabody's wayback machine, we find a number of...

“How has immigration contributed to U.S. growth? Are immigrants taking native-born workers' jobs?”

The centerpiece of this article lambasting Trump is that menial work is for illegal immigrants. Real Americans don't do menial work.  But we need illegal immigrants to grow our economy.  So, the single most important requirement for economic growth is menial work that Real Americans won't do....

“Melania Trump is reportedly set to voice strong support for reproductive rights”

In an odd twist of political fate, Democrats are gonna be pissed.  Republicans ain't gonna care. You see, Dobbs v. Jackson took the issue of abortion away from Republican Party deadwood, the unbiased press, and the scholastic dimwits who think they run the country.  The issue of abortion must be...

“President Biden signs legislation exempting semiconductor manufacturing from environmental reviews, despite concerns from Democrats and activists.”

Liberal idealism falls by the wayside when a Democratic President needs something built.  Republicans and conservative can whine about regulatory barriers all they want; Democrats love that shit.  But when those regulations shut down Democrats' political wins, those regulations are quietly set...

“Mexican soldiers fired guns on a truck carrying 33 migrants, killing six and injuring ten. The migrants hailed from Egypt, Nepal, Cuba, India and...”

Not reporting from the unbiased American press.  And even European liberals are mollified by soldiers facing prosecution and a military trial for attacking illegal immigrants.  That's an important highlight of the reporting. You know, if illegal immigration was really an economic powerhouse then...

“As you know, we have recently focused on missile and drone programmes.”

So, Ukraine is upgrading and expand its defense production to build more advanced missiles, drones, and, now, ballistic missiles.  Wonder where they're getting ideas for their new weapons technology?

“The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov, declared readiness for joint development and production of weapons with the largest defense...”

Shouldn't we be absolutely certain that Ukraine will be an ally before supporting their weapons industry?  Ukraine is quite capable of building its own advanced weapon systems.  Ukraine only needs NATO and the United States to supply the volume of weapons and munitions.  While we empty our...
