“I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.” — James Baldwin

RAW STORY The most corrupt Supreme Court justice in his-tory, Clarence Thomas, who's taken millions from billionaires and then voted to promote their interests, inadvertently helped us all see clearly the source of this depravity that's permeated so much of our government at all lev-els. Last week, he gave a speech at the University of Texas, Austin, and blamed the ills of the world (and America) on the rise of "progres-sivism." Thomas blamed progressivism for everything from the rise of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao to racial segregation and the eugenics movement that Hitler borrowed from America and Britain to ex- cuse his Final Solution. In fact, Thomas is following an old tradition that was explained a century ago when arch-conservative propagandist Joseph Goebbels famously said, "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty." It's the foundation of the modern saying, "Every accusation is a confes-sion."

I Hate this MF’er!

Yup, decades of brainwashing to create angry, ignorant, broke, broken SINGLE ISSUE VOTERS.

Everyone has to police themselves… don’t allow yourself to be led into the trap of being a single issue voter.
It disconnects you from reality, from seeing the BIG PICTURE.

It happens on the left, too.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

They treat anything marked “public” as part of a giant “slush fund” for them to own… to dole out to their family and friends.
So, I am sure they treat their “donations” the same way.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

My father survived a year with pancreatic cancer but it was a year of terrible suffering. This is very encouraging news.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Suspect dead after 8 children killed, 2 women wounded in Louisiana shooting The suspect, who was the father of seven of the children, was killed after a vehicle chase, police said. The slain children were 3 to 11 years old, authorities said.

This "president" has said nothing-- NOTHING-- about eight kids killed in a mass shooting in Louisiana today. Ages range from 1 year to 14 years. Children.

And they rate not a single comment.

I detest that bucket of filth and the way he's lowered the bar for all.

It seem strange to me when westerners fret about the possibility of a country like, say, Iran having nuclear weapons.

Because the only country that’s ever been so reckless as to actually nuke anyone is the USA.
