I think Neil Diamond did a song about her.

MOUNT OLIVET, Ky. (AP) — Authorities arrested a Kentucky woman after someone found a dismembered body in her mother’s backyard and officers later found human remains in a pot in the home’s oven that “was still warm.”

A man who was hired to work on the property in Mount Olivet, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Cincinnati, called authorities Wednesday after finding the body in the backyard, the Kentucky State Police said. Officers saw the dismembered corpse in the grass, a bloody mattress nearby, and blood stains on the back porch and the back door’s threshold, according to an arrest citation.

Jesse Waters thinks Stephen Miller is a "sexual matador" ?!?!


What Da fuq is a sexual matador? Is it right wing code for creepy bald 40 year old racist? Or someone who chases tail, and both ears.

Watters: We are getting a lot of texts from women about Stephen Miller. Our audience believes you are some sort of sexual matador.

Uh Jesse? Your viewers need to update their text-to-speech modules so they can properly distinguish between “matador” and “predator”.

In her book Melania says Donald first hit on her while he was on a date with someone else. He asked for her phone number while his date stepped away for something.


I assume this was meant to be more charming and less sleazy than it seems to have come off. I don’t know what the context for it was, but even if something like that isn’t entirely unheard of, but it seems like the something Trump would rather keep a lid on considering how popular he is with women.

It's obvious why she (this grifter) chose to release a book now, just before the election. Melania’s pre-nup, will be much, much less if he loses the election. The hope is this book will help his popularity by "normalizing" her disgusting husband and wangle him back into the WH. And ... Because after the election nobody is going to give a fuck what she has to say about anything ever again.

We also learned Trump sleeps in the buff. Have fun with that mental image.

Woman, 3 teens suspected in shooting or killing of more than 100 deer in Wisconsin


A 36-year-old woman and three 16-year-old boys are suspected in the shooting or killing of more than 100 deer within a 200-square-mile area in eastern Wisconsin.

" “Selfies” were taken with one deer that was struck and placed in the vehicle, Sheriff Ryan F. Waldschmidt said in the release.

“They drove around to various locations with the deer still alive and suffering in the trunk or back seat and continued to produce video clips documenting their travels with the wounded deer,” he said."

The choice this election cycle is simple, on the one hand you have the Mighty Trump, Champion of the Common Man and MAGA Savior. On the other, you have evil homosexual lesbian spirits. It’s a simple decision.


Televangelist Kenneth Copeland: "Homosexual Lesbian spirits must be defeated in this election"

Wut? ... As opposed to those heterosexual lesbian spirits?
He just really likes saying "homosexual" and "lesbian", okay?

Crooked 'Pub you say? No Way!!!


CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former New Hampshire state senator accused last year of fraudulently obtaining federal COVID-19 loans and spending the money on luxury cars was charged this week with stealing separate state pandemic relief funds.

Republican Andy Sanborn, of Bedford, was charged with theft by deception, a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison, the attorney general’s office said Wednesday. According to prosecutors, he misrepresented the revenue from his Concord Casino business to receive $188,000 more than he should have from the state’s “Main Street Relief Fund” in 2020.

Where do the republicans find these perfect candidates for every single office? Yet another real winner in North Carolina state wide ballot race:

So what are the exact beliefs and qualifications of the next person that is more likely than not to be in charge of all North Carolina schools and their $11 billion budget? First, a couple quotes from today's Washington Post editorial, then a few from above older article:

- Morrow claimed child traffickers and pedophiles are torturing and killing kids to harvest their blood “The evil, demon-possessed people who worship Satan have been using this to try to keep their youth,” “They’ve been using it as a drug that is more powerful than street drugs. … It is gotten through children who are being tortured and know that they are about to die. Guys, this is deep, it is evil, and it is real. It is truly happening, and we have got to stop it.”

- Morrow, just a couple of weeks ago, she informed the public that the plus sign in LGBTQ+ “includes PEDOPH*L*A!!”

- Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election. "And if the police won't do it and the Department of Justice won't do it, then he will have to enact the Insurrection Act," said Morrow. "In which case the Insurrection Act completely puts the Constitution to the side and says, now the military rules all."

- Morrow had previously called for the public execution of Barack Obama and the death of Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in comments on a since-deleted X account. "I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad," Morrow wrote in a since-deleted post from May 2020 about Obama.

- Morrow, a registered nurse and grassroots activist who homeschooled her children, ... is running on a platform of supporting parental rights and opposing critical race theory.
Call this mud-slinging or just a hard-packed snowball. Just before I started high school 1961, there had been this Australian guy who got much TV coverage. Maybe he appeared on "Joe Pyne" -- a talk show. His name was Schwarz, and his favorite one-liner in every appearance he made was "You can trust a Communist . . . . to be a Communist."

So take your pick of descriptors: Liar, Fascist, Retard, Criminal Facilitator, Lunatic. Plug in to this sentence: "You can trust a Republican to be . . . . . . " Or maybe just "You can trust a Republican to be a Republican."

Don't know if this is good or bad, but after skimming thru it, it talks about how some cases the judge did not help give justice to domestic abuse victims, and in other cases, the judge apparently disregarded conservative Texas laws. Furthermore, the Judge also is being accused of making false statements about the top judge of Texas.

Oh my, I haven't heard anybody ever reference Joe Pyne. I was like 9 or 10 when his show was on, and I found his show amusing at times, but I really hadn't developed my political perspectives at that point. He was like the for runner of the shit to come.
