I watched Alex Wagner's first block of MSNBC News tonight and it was titled Crooked Media

It was about Univison basically giving Trump a free ride and pandering to him. and they would not allow Biden to air ads on there system when Trump was speaking.....this is the same fucking guy that said he would deport and create basically concentration camps.........and this same guy, hates anyone from Mexico, South America or anywhere from that hemisphere.....he even had a journalist kicked out of a news conference........remember this because Wagner brought this up .........Univision anchor Jorge Ramos kicked out of Donald Trump event...

So my question is why did they, Univision start pandering to this asshole......and dissing Biden.........

Once again, Elie Mystal doesn't sugarcoat it.

By Frances Langum — November 14, 2023

As soon as I heard yesterday that SCOTUS had released a fake "code of ethics," ...

...I told my colleagues at C&L, "I hope Joy-Ann Reid is gonna have Elie Mystal on this afternoon."

Got my wish.

Steve Bannon Planning To Sell 'Trump Davidian' Merch

Because they're terrorists, so why not lean into it.

By Frances Langum — November 14, 2023

In case you've forgotten, the Branch Davidians were a right-wing apocalyptic cult that blew up their own building in the midst of an FBI siege. David Koresh, their leader, thought he was Cyrus the Great, and now Trumpers think their diapered king is Cyrus. They're all insane.

So Steve Bannon plays a clip of Jonathan Karl talking about how Bannon is going to be issuing "Trump Davidian" merchandise, and Bannon acts surprised that Karl has that "inside baseball" information.

Bannon has on his program a fellow "we-can't-believe-he's-not-in-prison-yet" compadre, Kash Patel.

He-Man Markwayne Mullin Challenges Teamsters Boss To A Fight

Here is exhibit A on how men are too emotional to govern.

By Karoli Kuns — November 14, 2023

Here is exhibit A on how men are too emotional to govern. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) decided to spend his time in the HELP committee hearing throwing down on Teamsters boss Sean O'Brien, which definitely is not conducive to actual fact-finding for budgetary and policy purposes.

Mullin started out with his time harping on O'Brien, apparently carrying a grudge from last time O'Brien was in front of the committee. Afterwards, O'Brien tweeted some things tender snowflake Mullin did not like.

After reading a couple of tweets, he got to the heart of his hurt.

Opinion/ The death of the New York Times

By D. Earl Stephens- Commentary
Published November 12, 2023 5:24 AM ET

After being a loyal reader for the better part of 60 years, I have officially run out of respect for The New York Times.

I have come to the grudging realization that this newspaper is actively playing a part in undermining our Democracy by convening a political horse race, and backing a burnt-orange, reprehensible, racist traitor, and his dirty trainers, who mean our country harm.

I believe they are doing this because they have lost their way and their morals, and have carefully dug out a tributary that flows from the obscene river of cash that is currently poisoning our politics, and runs directly into the bottomless pockets of the broken decision-makers whose fat asses are comfortably stuffed in the chairs of their front offices.

By Sky Palma

When actor Jamie Lee Curtis mounted the stage Thursday night to receive an Advocate of the Year Award from The Advocate, she delivered a direct and damning message to anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers, according to a Hollywood Reporter report.

"Freedom is the goal for all LGBTQ+IA human beings," Curtis said.

Curtis went on to share what she felt were her responsibilities to two daughters, one of whom came out as trans in 2021.

In Hibbing, Minn., he was just 'Adam': Memories of Adam Johnson, a local hockey hero gone too soon

Michael Russo
Nov 7, 2023


HIBBING, Minn. — In a small, hard-working town of 16,000 in Minnesota’s Iron Range, where there are streets named after Bob Dylan and there’s a sense of pride at having also produced MLB legend Roger Maris and Basketball Hall of Famer Kevin McHale, there is — and was — only one “Adam.”

“If you said the name ‘Adam’ in Hibbing, everybody knew that meant Adam Johnson,” said Scott Pionk, the father of Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk and Wild draft pick and University of Minnesota-Duluth freshman Aaron Pionk. “Like LeBron, he needed only one name: Adam.”

Jim Perunovich, the father of St. Louis Blues defenseman Scott Perunovich, agreed: “Cher. Bono. Everyone knows who Adam is.”

For those of us that watch, played and know this game........ this is really a good article about a tragic and truly a sad moment for the game and for some of us that grew up in this region, because hockey is Minnesota.
It is really great know that T. J Oshie and his partners at the Warroad company have the shirt to protect the players neck and other gear which they are making this game safer for the younger players, the NHL players for those that are now thinking about wearing this shirt after this tragic accident, and for those who are coming up in a sport, playing on a rink in the woods or on a frozen lake, or at the Junior High, Middle School, High School, College and NHL level that is in my opinion is one of the greatest sports, based on teamwork skill and the exceptional skill it takes while moving on a frozen plane chasing an object that is 1 inch tall and 3 inches wide and the passion.

To, Adam, and his family and friends ......... .
