Thank you for calling this out. Needs to be said. And I wouldn’t blame Jasmine. Crockett for telling us all to go pound salt.
I wish these two weren’t competing against each other in this moment. We need them both.
Heather
Cox Richardson has been telling everyone that Jasmine Crockett is
definitely part of our political future. I believe her. Hoping against
hope Jasmine Crockett does, too, and finds her next opportunity. We will
continue to support her.
Re: Talarico
The
MAGA Evangelicals who started to see the light (and it’s a train)
jumped on this option. Better Talarico than any R on the ballot to rally
as many people as possible to fight against the f-ing train.
I want online leftists to kick rocks in flip flops. They don’t recognize their misogynoir and it’s exhausting. Yes, this is about Jasmine Crockett and no, I don’t care if you don’t like what I have to say. If you feel hit, holler and I’ll ignore you like you ignore overly qualified Black women trying to save you from yourself.
These are the two resumes in front of you. They both claim to fight fascism and hold officials accountable. Both have nearly identical beliefs.
Resume 1:
Mild mannered, soft spoken, middle school teacher that gives sermons instead of speeches and promises to sit down and have tough conversations with “the other side.”
Resume 2:
History of activism, civil rights attorney, provided hundreds of hours of pro bono work for protestors, has served at the state level and federal level, serves on the oversight committee, judicial committee and more, and is constantly holding elected officials feet to the fire unapologetically vowing to do the same after November.
Which resume would you choose as the best candidate?
Once again people proved that Black women have to be the second coming of the lord for people be satisfied, and even then their competency would be second guessed.
You can say it’s because she took AIPAC money, she didn’t.
You can say it’s because she’s too outspoken, she’s not. It’s the reason you even know she exists.
You could say it’s because she supports Israel, she doesn’t.
You can make up whatever makes you feel better about why people chose someone that’s mediocre at best when compared to her experience and attention capitol, but we both know it would be a lie.
Perfection is what’s expected. Perfection, or skin that isn’t brown and a body that isn’t female. How do I know this? Because they’ve shown us.
People wanted change in Georgia, Stacey Abram’s answered. People said, not like that.
People demanded politicians speak out against Israel and refuse AIPAC money, Cory Bush said, “bet.” None of those people showed up as loudly when she was being attacked by AIPAC and lost her seat.
People said maybe talk about Israel less if you want to win, but a lot of you want to win. But also say exactly what we all think you should say. Appeal to the far left, but then people said you’ll never win without the middle and poaching some from the right. Kamala took a deep breath and said, “uh…ok. I’ll do my best since I was just tossed to the wolves with less than 4 months to go.”
So when Jasmine Crockett showed up overqualified, confident in who she is and with a proven track record of making things shake, it was not surprising people said, “we’ll take the dude with very little experience, thanks.”
There will always be an excuse to tell a Black woman she’s not right for the moment. People love a Black woman to be no nonsense, direct, and fight for them. They just don’t want them to dare to dream bigger than being someone’s attack dog.
They don’t want Black women to lead. They want them to quietly whisper the answers to the test to someone that has a more palatable demeanor, tone and skin color.
Don’t ask where Kamala is while we all live with your consequences. Shes home drinking wine and booking a silk press.
Don’t ask where Cory Bush is. Shes home spending time with the people that were there after she lost her seat.
Don’t ask where Stacey Abrams is. She’s recording podcasts and laughing with friends.
When January comes around, don’t part your lips to ask where Jasmine Crockett is. She will likely be back to wearing her lawyer hat full time.
As the country burns stop looking around and asking where Black women are. We’re home minding our Black owned business. This is new to y’all. Surviving this nonsense is encoded in our DNA.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

"NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT FOR ISRAEL!": Marine Sgt. Speaks Truth, Gets Hand Broken, and Exposes the Paedophile Empire's Desperate Grip
In which a former Marine stands up, tells the truth, and gets physically assaulted by a senator who claims to be "de-escalating"—while the paedophiles who started this war sit comfortably in their thrones, probably on the toilet again
"No one wants to die for Israel."
U.S. Marine Sgt. Brian McGinnis shouted this during a congressional hearing. He was wearing his dress uniform. He served his country. He deployed to Iraq in 2003. He knows what war costs.
And for speaking the truth, he was dragged out by three Capitol Police officers, physically restrained by a sitting senator, and had his hand broken in the process .
The video is horrifying. You can hear the snap. You can hear onlookers screaming: "His hand! Oh my God, his hand!" .
And Senator Tim Sheehy—former Navy SEAL, now Montana Republican—stood there, helped manhandle a fellow veteran, and later called McGinnis an "unhinged protestor" who was "looking for a confrontation" .
Let's unpack this. With truth. With humour. With the reality that the paedophiles are running scared.
THE TRUTH HE SPOKE
McGinnis shouted: "Israel is the reason for this war. America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel!" .
He's right. Polls show 60% of Americans disapprove of this war. Protests have erupted in New York, Boston, across the country . Marines opened fire on protesters storming the consulate in Karachi, killing at least 10 .
But when a Marine in uniform stands up in the Capitol itself and says it out loud? They break his hand.
THE SENATOR'S "HELP"
Tim Sheehy says he was "helping to de-escalate" .
De-escalate? By grabbing a protester's leg, prying his arm from a doorframe, and participating in an altercation that left a man with a broken hand?
That's not de-escalation. That's assault with a legislative badge.
Sheehy posted on X: "This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs" .
The help he needs? He needs his hand unbroken, senator. He needs the war to stop. He needs his elected officials to stop sending soldiers to die for a foreign country's agenda.
THE PAEDOPHILE ELEPHANT
Let's not forget who's running this show. The man who started this war has 4,728 mentions in the Epstein files. Fifty pages of FBI interviews about a 13-year-old girl. Redacted. Hidden. Protected.
His partner in crime is on trial for corruption in three different countries.
And they have the audacity to call a Marine veteran "unhinged" for speaking truth?
THE IRONY OF SHEEHY
Tim Sheehy is a former Navy SEAL. He ran for Senate as a "decorated combat veteran." His 2024 campaign was dogged by accusations that he falsely claimed to have been wounded in Afghanistan—when a National Park report said he actually shot himself in the arm while trying to reload a gun in Montana .
So a man who may have lied about his own war wound now physically wounds a veteran for speaking out against war.
The irony is so thick you could build a bunker with it.
THE TOILET SITUATION
Meanwhile, the architects of this disaster are running to the toilet. Again. Still.
Trump's approval rating: 37% and dropping.
Netanyahu's corruption trial: Approaching.
US interceptors: Empty.
US bases: Burning.
US soldiers: Hiding in hotels.
US allies: Distancing themselves.
The shart heard round the world has officially reached the Capitol building.
THE MARINE'S MESSAGE
McGinnis was in his dress uniform. He served four years in the Marine Corps, including time in Iraq . He knows what combat means. He knows what sending "sons and daughters to war" actually costs.
His message was simple: "America does not want to fight this war for Israel" .
That's not radical. That's polling data. That's common sense. That's the truth.
And for that, they broke his hand.
THE CHARGES
McGinnis now faces three counts of assaulting a police officer and three counts of resisting arrest and unlawful demonstration .
Meanwhile, the senator who helped break his hand faces... nothing. He's a hero. He "de-escalated." He's getting praise from his colleagues.
THE RESPONSE FROM VETERANS
Social media exploded. Veterans and anti-war activists expressed support for McGinnis. One commenter wrote: "They all support vets except the ones who speak out against their atrocities" .
Another said: "A sitting U.S. Senator just broke the hand of a Marine" .
The outrage is real. The hypocrisy is staggering. The truth is spreading.
THE PUNCHLINE
The joke is that they think silencing one veteran will stop the truth. The joke is that they think breaking a hand will break a movement. The joke is that they still believe the American people want this war.
The punchline is being delivered in every protest, every poll, every soldier who comes home in a body bag, every veteran who speaks out and gets silenced.
McGinnis spoke truth. They broke his hand.
He stood for peace. They dragged him out.
He wore his uniform with honor. They treated him like a criminal.
But the truth is out now. It's on video. It's spreading. And no amount of broken hands can stop it.
"No one wants to fight for Israel."
He said it. He meant it. He was right.
And somewhere, two paedophiles are running to the toilet, because the shart is finally hitting the fan.
In all likelihood even his wife and children — members of a sociopathic family who are incapable of normal human emotion, and for whom all relationships are strictly transactional — secretly look forward to being rid of him. After all, Daddy’s money will be even better without Daddy clinging to it. Trump’s supporters, cronies, and stooges claim to love and admire him, but in reality he is nothing more than a vehicle for their own petty grievances, hate, and corruption; and once he is gone — if not before — they will quickly move on.
We all sympathize with the good people in our lives — parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts — as they grow older and closer to death. We treasure each moment with them, and try to make the end of life as happy and comfortable for them as we can. No such sympathy is possible, however, for so vile a creature as Donald Trump. No sympathy, as his brain increasingly turns into mush and his speech increasingly turns into gibberish. No sympathy, as he approaches the end of life angry and unhappy and unloved, even by his own family. No sympathy, as his face droops and sags. No sympathy, as he falls asleep in televised meetings at the White House. No sympathy, as he loses control of his bowels. No sympathy, as each day becomes more miserable than the day before. No sympathy, as Death comes for the most despised man in America.
Then one fine day we will open the news and learn that he is finally gone, forever. One fine day, we can begin life anew in a world without Donald Trump. One fine day, Donald Trump will get the end of life that he deserves, and will then take the place of abject disgrace in history that he deserves.

Breakthrough research shows cannabis compounds like THC can clear toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease from brain cells.
Researchers at the Salk Institute and Scripps Research Institute have identified compelling evidence that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids can target the root causes of Alzheimer's disease. Laboratory tests on human nerve cells revealed that these compounds help remove amyloid-beta, a toxic protein that forms plaques and triggers damaging brain inflammation. By activating the body’s natural endocannabinoid system, these substances not only promoted the clearance of these harmful proteins but also inhibited the enzymes responsible for plaque production, effectively slowing the cellular damage associated with the disease.
While these findings highlight a significant neuroprotective potential for combined THC and CBD therapies, experts emphasize that the research is still in preliminary stages. Most successes have occurred within controlled laboratory environments and animal models, and rigorous human clinical trials are required to determine if these results translate to real-world medical benefits. Currently, there is no evidence that cannabis can cure or reverse dementia, but this exploratory work provides a vital roadmap for developing future treatments aimed at protecting the brain from inflammatory decay.

The humor in this image highlights the absurdity of a government that promises accountability by investigating itself. It paints a picture of a closed loop—where those in power control the very system that is supposed to hold them accountable. It’s a sharp critique of the bureaucratic systems that often function to protect the status quo, rather than challenge it.
How often do we see this kind of situation in the real world? Where those responsible for oversight are the very ones benefiting from the system? The imagery reminds us of the need for true transparency, where accountability doesn’t come with strings attached. Without real change, the promises of reform remain hollow.
As we look toward the future, the question arises: Can we create systems that hold those in power truly accountable? Systems that don't just investigate but actively seek to fix and evolve? The time for genuine change may have arrived—if we dare to challenge the powers that be.
Accountability is not just a joke—it’s a call to action. We must strive for systems where true justice and transparency are at the forefront, ensuring that those who hold the reins of power are held responsible for their actions. Only then can we rebuild trust in the very systems that are meant to serve us.
