When I want to know how things REALLY are I don’t ask the Heritage Foundation and it’s collection of people fantastically rewriting history and a host of other things as they go.

Sure, Breitbart is the gold standard. but Heritage Foundation is right up there too.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Ok… let me put this in a way you understand… it’s the “Inflation Reduction Act”… a name that’s a bit of clever marketing. Just like Trump standing in front of some EXISTING fencing that was being repaired and claiming to be building miles of new border wall that wasn’t actually being built. People believed it. It’s all in the marketing and PR.

Ingrid recently departed the Detroit News for USA Today.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

The Detroit News is hardly a bastion of liberalism.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Was unaware Ingrid Jacques departed The Detroit News.

She definitely was the most politically conservative columnist there.

Who'da thunk that the IRA - Inflation Reduction Act - was catchier than BBB (Build Back Better) as a way to buy votes in the fall and drain our economy in the process?

Look out Madison Ave...
