Color Me (Un)Surprised
Guess always knew, what with the proof of history (see his NYC apartments in the 70’s) but … wow. Here’s a guy, born into segregation, witnesses the end of segregation, then acts to put it back. Wonder why he didn’t say he was going to do that on the campaign trail … hmmm, reasons. And …
Flashpoint
Oh, Ohio. Read “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison. Oprah should have left that one on the pages. Hard to put the murder of a child to save from slavery on film, but hey. There’s that. Anyhoo, Ohio. Back in February, buncha horsemen riding hard put up some symbols and yelled some things and then got confronted …
Poking the Panther
Ben Shapiro (smart but not) recommended recently that Derek Chauvin, oh he of the knee on neck of George Floyd and impetus of 2020’s global racial reckoning, receive a pardon from the Orange Menace for his federal crimes. Of course he would simply be transferred back to state prison, but the federal charges would go …

Anyhoo … After declaring its independence in 1991, the country had a chance to join NATO but declined, choosing to remain “neutral.” Oops. See …

High Clowns & Maximum Chaos
Rumor has it that the oilymuskyfunk once quipped that the modus operandi of the techbros is“Move Fast and Break Sh!t” … which coincidentally appears to be the approach to doge-ing the Gub’mint. Deport (for all intent and purposes) the entire labor class, gut the federal workforce, install feal moron-cronies into office (was he actually drunk …

Blanca Blanco
Griselda Blanco was the consummate Boss Bae in the late 80’s, early 90’s, turned Miami into the ultimate capital for booger sugar and bloodbaths. Rumor has it after being deported back to Medellín she was gunned down – get this – outside a butcher shop. Heh. GOD does like His irony. {Isaiah 3:11} Apparently, just …
