MAGA doesn’t care if the Orange Menace lies to them
What does the current presidential administration have in common with professional wrestling? Well, a cabinet officer used to run pro wrestling, and will probably go back to that job (or to jail like other cabinet stooges) when this nightmare of a presidency is over. And, the photo at the top is real. The Orange Menace…

Why does MAGA fall for this?
The cartoon above shows how easy it is to manipulate MAGA devotees. Their worship of their incontinent Orange conman, rapist, felon, racist leads them to parrot the most inane stupidity ever spewed by an American president, and this president is the one that has spewed the most. But why is MAGA so venomous? Perhaps this:…

Poverty, thy cause is Hal Rogers
The map at the top of this post says it all. The purple doesn’t signifying the political climate is a mix of red and blue. It shows counties where at least 20 percent of the population lives in poverty. So, let’s focus on Eastern Kentucky, where there is a major saturation of purple. That’s the…

Ky. MAGA Trump fluffer wants us not to notice this
Here’s a screenshot from the campaign site for the racist Garland Hale Barr IV, who’s running for the currently vacated seat of Schroedinger’s senator, Mitch McConnell: Hmmm?

This is Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg’s fault: A Louisville-area family is calling for answers after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained a Ugandan woman at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, and her family says she was denied critical medication for sickle cell disease for more than 24 hours. Sarafinah Bukirwa arrived in the United…

The Bluegrass Blues Podcast: Episode 30
Visiting our neighbor to the North. Where is our senior senator, and what are our government officials doing while we have limited representation? Was our MAGA U.S. Senate candidate behind a controversial billboard? The curse of Louisville’s “Can Opener.” The rise against data centers. And superheroes are just as depressed as the rest of us. …

‘Paw Patrol’ villain: Donald Trump
It’s babysitting time, and I can’t believe a children’s cartoon offers a better representation of the Orange Menace than much of our national media. The guy at the top of this post comes from “Paw Patrol”: Mayor Humdinger of Foggy Bottom (WOW! I have a place in D.C. and have walked by Foggy Bottom tons…

A political sports diversion
I am a huge fan of watch parties for major sports events. I was in Paris in 2007 when the Rugby World Cup appeared on a big screen on the Eiffel Tower. I was in Brussels in 2006 when the FIFA World Cup was on a big screen at the Bourse downtown. I was in…

Andy Barr’s campaign, illustrated
A quick rant. Andy Barr is running for Mitch McConnell’s U.S. Senate seat with the campaign message, “I love kissing Donald Trump’s ass.” The image above shows one of the key platforms in his campaign. Every struggling Kentuckian who votes for this sycophant deserves to suffer for the rest of their life. (Let’s throw this…
