In not surprising news, a pro-Israel lobby has been schmoozing people in Congress on both sides of the aisle: "AIPAC Affiliate Has Funded Lavish Trips to Israel for Dozens of Congress Members." 

There are reasons why so many people in power don't criticize the treatment of Palestinians and the need for a Palestinian state. 

One of those reasons is that some think if they criticize Israel that they'll be labeled as anti-semitic.  

But, also, follow the money. 

So many corrupt officials. And so many more since President Adolf has been at the helm. 

At least some people in Congress and the courts upended the corrupt plan of the current administration to create a slush fund for idiots who claim the Biden administration targeted them, such as the traitors who stormed the Capitol building on January 6th. 

However, apparently the settlement will protect the Putin's Pet, President Adolf's family, and Sleepy Don's businesses from I.R.S. investigations, which is total nonsense. 

More goings on here in Dumbfuckistan. 

Lalo Alcaraz sums up our situation well.

After reading last week's Existential Comic about David Hume, it's clear to me that I need to work "dullard" more into my vocabulary. 

There are way too many of them out there. 

Lalo Alcaraz got this right. 

The Supreme Court did the right thing. Well, six of the justices did. The three dissenters are simply obsequious ass-kissers to President Adolf. 

And Joe Heller is spot on with this one. 

The coverup is so clear by the American Fascist Party's Justice department. 

The blizzard that shut down the east coast is something to behold: "Millions Under Road Travel Bans as Blizzard Conditions Slam US North-East."

I was watching an episode of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, and O'Brien used the term "peter out." 

Because I usually have dirty mind, I initially thought the term originated from "Peter" meaning a penis. To my thinking, something petered out when a dude couldn't get it up anymore. 

It turns out my thinking is way off base if you choose to read "What's the Meaning of the Phrase 'Peter Out?'" 

There are about three different possibilities of how the phrase originated, but the one related to the use of saltpeter when mining in the 19th century seems the most plausible. 

This nonsense the U.S. is doing down in Venezuela needs to stop. 

Lalo Alcaraz has done some fine work below. 

Ah, MAGA socialism with the Aid Package that is going to U.S. farmers. 

According to Reuters, "US Farmers Say Trump's $12 billion Aid Package Won't Cover Losses."
