30 months ago a violent insurrection inspired by the President sought to overturn a democratic election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

Its leader is not only the leading GOP candidate for president but openly endangering the life of a former Democratic president (https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-obama-justice-department-capitol-mccarthy-27934bbd095111e7eb2bac5b5bb24e06).

Already being forgotten and/or erased from history.

Trump posted what he said was Obama's address, prosecutors say. An armed man was soon arrested there

Federal prosecutors say former President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform what he claimed was the home address of former President Barack Obama the same day a man with guns in his van was arrested near the property. They said Taylor Taranto kept two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country. Prosecutors included the new details of the case in a motion filed Wednesday aiming to keep Taranto behind bars. They said Taranto told followers on his YouTube live stream that he was looking to get a “good angle on a shot” and locate the “tunnels underneath their houses” shortly before he was arrested by the Secret Service.

Give a man a fish, and Republicans immediately blame you for inflation. Teach a man to fish, and they call you a woke Marxist and pass a law banning Fishing Studies.

With the New York Times now trying to take credit for uncovering all sorts of lies told by George Santos, I would like to remind everyone that NYT blew it by not looking into him *at all* ahead of the election https://www.readtpa.com/p/chill-out-barbaro
The New York Times Needs To Chill

Time and again, Times reporters respond to criticism with disdain, even though this is exactly how the paper told readers they should offer their criticism

New plan: get Republicans to turn against the debt ceiling by pointing out that it was a Woodrow Wilson creation.

This is an outstanding reply to, and analysis of that Pamela Paul column in the New York Times that began this way:

"A paper that says science should be impartial was rejected by major journals. You can’t make this up."

Dave Karpf, an academic, takes it apart. He also testifies as a particiant in the peer review system. Worth your time.

Trump just promised to ban "genital mutilation of babies."
