The Libertarian Party nominated Vermin Supreme's former (proposed) running mate as Jo Jorgensen's running mate.

And the Libertarians wonder why they struggle with relevance.

As the Confirmation Media™ beat you over the head with the opinion you already have while shoving a new one into your ears, you are really missing out on the big stories: Sex Robots Respond with Moaning Sounds

SecDef Mark Esper and former SecDef James Mattis have come out against Trump's domestic policies.

When a guy named "Mad Dog" thinks you've crossed the line, maybe you have.

Trump tweeted this week that the US will classify Antifa as a domestic terror organization. Here's a news flash: DHS classified Antifa's activities as domestic terrorist violence in 2016.

Captain Oblivious' proposed recognition of something that happened four years ago has no effect on the matter.

Only if he designates them as foreign terrorists or enemy combatants will the Patriot Act kick in and obliterate their constitutional rights – and if that happens, he will be Hitler.

Donald Trump gases civilians so he can walk down the street and wave a bible in front of a church.

Susan Rice blames protests of racial injustice on the Russians.

I say it's time to let the aliens take their turn making a mockery of civilization. At least we'll get some ray guns out of the deal.

What if there were no real military threats and so we invented them to justify spending more on the military than the next eleven countries combined?

Theater warfare is gone but not forgotten by the war mongers War College generals. Small unit warfare has been the predominant form of engagement since Vietnam but A) we suck at it and B) there's no money in it.

Big money requires big toys which require big enemies. We keep beating the drum about the big scary Russians, but here's a fun fact:

The Russian Federation's military budget is less than ten percent of America's (8.9%).

We have a greater chance of going to war with Kentucky.

The repugnant state of journalism is well-documented and tiresome to lament, but here is an exceptional example of its depravity. Amazon is now writing the scripts presented as 'news'.

At least eleven television stations aired this piece as written.

A complex systems engineer, his 14-year-old daughter, and a couple of government stooges – A VA MD and an oncologist — convinced the Dubya administration that shutting down the country and 'social distancing' was the answer to an epidemic. Nary an economist or epidemiologist in sight. NY Times article.

NY Post takes a swipe at its peers:

“President John Adams signed a law making it a crime to criticize the government; 20 newspaper editors were imprisoned. Andrew Jackson not only had his own paper, edited by a member of his cabinet, but it got government subsidies. Kayleigh McEnany hurting your feelings is not a constitutional crisis.”

And then there's this guy “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” – JoeBob Biden, May 22, 2020

Our choices boil down to Whackjob A or Whackjob B.

Is it too late to get Bernie the Communist back?

The Trump administration's new Vaccine Czar, appointed to lead the ridiculously named Operation Warp Speed that would include the equally ridiculous notion of deploying a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine using the military, has accepted the position as an independent contractor. 

As a contractor, Moncef Slaoui is not subject to laws that would require disclosure of of positions, holdings, and other circumstances that would present a conflict of interest.

Don't worry, the HHS ethics office has cleared him.

Yesterday Trump wanted to be FDR by nationalizing pharma, today he wants to be Stalin by militarizing the distribution of a CoVID-19 vaccine.

“He's not dangerous for the reasons the left thinks he dangerous. He's dangerous because he doesn't know how stupid he is.” – James Jacobin

Charles Mountbatten-Windsor, a person who holds several silly hereditary titles of social rank in the United Kingdom, has encouraged members of Britain’s recently-unemployed ranks to assist the farming industry with the harvesting of crops to prevent the crops from “going to waste” and conveyed it is a matter of national pride.

How can a country tolerate the sanctimony of a person whose only troubles in life are the ones he created himself?

When I get stuck with the task of shucking the corn, I'm just grateful I'm not the poor sap who had to wrap it.

A 6.4 quake struck Tonopah, NV today. Maybe it's time to let out the aliens.

(People talk about Area 51 because they don't know about Tonopah)

Public pension funds such as CalSTRS, CalPERS (the nation's largest), and the Florida State Board of Administration have invested in UBER.

State workers are having their futures placed in a company that has lost more money than Donald Trump.
