“Lost in Space” was a sci-fi TV series in the 1960s about the Robinson astronaut family that was, well, lost in space. The series featured a robot who would say “danger, danger” and “danger, Will Robinson” and “it does not compute” when sensing a dangerous situation or not understanding certain predicaments in outer space.

Bozo MAGA Cong. Chip Roy is running for Texas AG. Here is what he had to say: “Texas is under assault — from open-border politicians, radical leftists and faceless foreign corporations that threaten our sovereignty, safety and our way of life. It’s time to draw a line in the sand. As Attorney General, I will…

“Today” had a feature this morning on cassette tapes making a comeback or revival of sorts. I did not know that. When I go to Target and I mosey over to the area where they sell flat screens and books, they have vinyl on sale. I have not seen any cassette tapes on display.  I…

The fella in the featured photo wielding the gavel represents the current crop of MAGA stooges running the Texas state government. Let’s see, the MAGA stooges sent DPS troopers to the border for years and it turned out to be an economic stimulus for border communities. They sent DPS troopers to sit outside of a…
