Rev. Denise Walden-Glenn, a member of the Buffalo clergy, said this yesterday about the racist murderer: “Somebody filled his heart so full of hate that he would destroy and devastate our community.” That “somebody” would be Tucker Carlson, Fox News, and the GOP. _____ The Quorum Report’s Scott Braddock, put out an item Friday that…

I saw this on the Daily Beast this morning: A handful of Republican senators on Wednesday fired a shot across the bow in the name of wholesome conservative values, demanding that television content ratings be reupholstered so that parents could better defend their children from shows afflicted by the dastardly scourge of LGBTQ+ representation.

Commentary must give a shout out to the Chron E-Board headline writer for today’s hard copy headline. Here it is: Tampon tax is discriminatory – period Nice job. _____ I mentioned something along these lines yesterday.
