Biden Ad Goes For The Gut: This Is Trump's Fault

Biden's new ad on abortion reveals horror of 'letting the states decide'.



By Kerry Eleveld — April 10, 2024

Within hours of Donald Trump’s clumsy, lie-filled attempt to blunt the issue of abortion by saying he would let states decide its legality, the Biden-Harris campaign released a new 60-second ad revealing the tragedies unleashed by Republican abortion bans across the country.

The ad, which first aired Monday on MSNBC, centers on a couple in Austin, Texas. Josh and Amanda Zurawski were eagerly awaiting the birth of a baby girl when Amanda's water broke early, at just 18 weeks of pregnancy, and she had a miscarriage.

The ad shows the couple sifting through keepsakes they collected in anticipation of their baby daughter—like the outfit they planned to bring her home from the hospital in—as text relays the horror of their story.

Trump Tries, Fails Again, To Make Fetch Happen

Good try, Lumpy!

By Conover Kennard — April 10, 2024
Poor Donald. Everything is "SO UNFAIR," and it's that big meanie Joe Biden's fault that the former President turned his administration into a crime spree. Except none of this has to do with President Joe Biden, and it has everything to do with the Twice Impeached One being held accountable for his actions, and that would make it the opposite of "unfair."

Trump has tried his hardest to blame the President and recently referred to his criminal trials as the "Biden Trials." Sorry, Donald. These are the Trump Trials.

"The White House Thugs should not be allowed to have these dangerous and unfair Biden Trials during my campaign for President. All of them, civil and criminal, could have been brought more than three years ago. It is an illegal attack on a Political Opponent. It is Communism at its worst, and Election Interference at its Best," Lumpy wrote on Truth Social. "No such thing has ever happened in our Country before."

GOP Senate hopeful suggests nursing home residents are too close to death to vote

By Matthew Chapman
Published April 8, 2024 4:49 PM ET

Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde expressed doubts about the 2020 election results by arguing nursing home residents are too close to death to vote, newly released audio shows.

Hovde made the comments on the conservative Guy Benson Show, in audio obtained by the Heartland Signal, when he was asked where he stood on former President Donald Trump's ongoing conspiracy theories that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

"I'm not going to spend my time talking about 2020," said Hovde. "Do I believe the election was stolen? No, but did things happen in that election that were very troublesome? Absolutely, and I can point them out right here in Wisconsin. We had Zuckerbucks come into Democratic cities to push out — working with cities to push out Democratic votes."

PA election denier Scott Perry begs Republicans to vote by mail

By John Cole, Pennsylvania Capital-Star
Published April 7, 2024 9:24 AM ET

CAMP HILL— U.S. Rep. Scott Perry (R-10th District) made his expected annual visit to the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference on Friday, but challenged his fellow conservatives to embrace a method of voting that is popular with Democrats: vote-by-mail.

“I didn’t pick the battlefield that I was going to have to fight on and neither did you,” Perry said. “It is what it is. We have what we have.”

Perry said that if he had it his way, there wouldn’t be “Election Month or Election Week,” but just an Election Day where voters would provide identification, but that isn’t the case. He said Republicans have to embrace Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots, adding that the legislature “probably” won’t be changing the law.

So you don't want an election month or week for voters.............you do realize traitor that back in the day.........they use to ride horses or walk to make sure that they got to the capital to vote, or to the community center, like church, and sometimes those votes were not counted for days because they had to wait to make sure that everyone that could vote got to vote and get the tabulation done.........and in fact back in the day they didn't go to the white house like some critters did and try to install "FAKE" electors and get them to go and make the vice-president basically null and void the elections or foment an insurrection...........do you by some "chance" know anyone that might have done that RICK............and were you not asked to come in a speak to a investigating committee about these shenanigans of trying to overthrow a government.........well RICK .............cat got your tongue.............you should be in jail............

'I get emotional thinking about it': US and Canada ready for total solar eclipse

Cities expect huge crowds with millions gathering in 115-mile wide ‘path of totality’ for Monday’s exceptionally large and long eclipse

Should the weather gods grant their blessing, a celestial show for the ages will darken the heavens over a large swathe of the US from Texas to Maine on Monday, giving tens of millions of people a grandstand view of a rare phenomenon being billed as “the Great American Eclipse”.

It will be another 20 years until the next total solar eclipse can be viewed anywhere in the contiguous US, lending extra incentive for many who live outside the 115-mile wide “path of totality” to travel in and experience the moments of twilight, stillness and a sudden temperature drop the event will bring.

Such is the interest in the eclipse that countless cities and states in the US and Canada have declared a state of emergency in expectation of enormous crowds; energy suppliers in Texas are warning of a significant, albeit temporary loss in power generation; and numerous schools, offices and public buildings in the 15 states that will experience totality will close.

I Got our solar eclipes glalsses and we are ready...............whooooo....... whooooooo

Dems Hilariously Respond To GOPers Wanting To Name Airport After Trump

This is PERFECT!

By Conover Kennard — April 5, 2024

Can you imagine any elected official wanting to name an airport after Richard Nixon after his crimes were exposed? Welp, House Republicans have introduced legislation to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after twice-impeached multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump. Oh, and he was found liable for sexual abuse, so let's name an airport after him. So many important issues are going on, but they are more concerned with massaging Lumpy's ego.

Via The Washington Post:

The bill was filed Friday by Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.), with six Republican co-sponsors: Reps. Andrew Ogles and Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee, Michael Waltz of Florida, Paul A. Gosar of Arizona, Barry Moore of Alabama, and Troy E. Nehls of Texas.

The measure would change the airport's name, about 25 miles west of D.C., to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Any reference to the airport on maps, documents, papers or other government records to the airport "shall be considered to be a reference to the Donald J. Trump International Airport," according to the two-page bill text.

I have a suggestion to these traitor loving dirt bags.............I don't feel the other DC airport should be named by another racist dirt bag called Reagan.....let alone by a person that has to pay over 83 million as a groper and a racist and on top of that traitor ........

Charlie Kirk Wants To Force Nebraska To Change Electoral Vote Rules

MAGA knows it can't win fairly, so they are trying to force Nebraska to change to a winner-take-all state.

By John Amato — April 5, 2024

Charlie Kirk, the court jester of MAGA, along with the other miscreants from Real America's Voice (AKA the Sedition Network) have been trying to force Nebraska lawmakers to do away with their system of awarding the state’s Electoral College votes for president.

Sounds a lot like election interference, amirite?

Here's the scoop if you've missed it: Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, fueled by a push by former President Donald Trump and Republicans nationally, had made an 11th hour push for senators to return the state to a “winner-take-all” system of awarding all five of the state’s Electoral College votes to the presidential winner of the statewide popular vote.
