Republican Jackass of the Week

 Georgia senate candidate Herschel Walker.

This clearly-damaged ex-football player is attempting to take a senate seat in Georgia from Senator Raphael Warnock. But his constant lies, bizarre statements, and meaningless word salads have people scratching their heads as they wonder what exactly is wrong with him.

Herschel was recently asked about his long list of domestic violence allegations from 2001-2008. He refused to directly answer the question but recited a bible verse claiming "he who is without sin can cast the first stone," then said those violent events "are something I was part of 15 years ago," as if that makes it all okay.

His wife at the time told CNN that he held a gun to her head multiple times and threatened her with a knife.

He bragged a year ago to Howard Stern that he frequently played Russian roulette by himself. Audio is here.

He's stated he favors Lindsay Graham's bizarre idea of outlawing all abortions with a federal law, with no exceptions for incest, rape, health of the mother or fetus, or even if it's a 10-year-old girl.

When asked about the barrage of gun massacres in schools, he replied with the incomprehensible word salad, "What about getting a department that can look at young men that's looking at women, that's looking at their social media? What about doing that, looking into things like that, and we can stop that that way?"

One of Walker's most bizarre rants includes the one about America's good air deciding to go to China.

“Since we don’t control the air, our good air decides to float over to China’s bad air,” Walker explained. “So, when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. So, it moves over to our good air space. Then, now, we got to clean that back up.”

He recently stated he doesn't like to brag, but then claimed he was an honorary pilot with TWA in the 70s. And he posted this picture of a card stating he's an honorary sheriff. Does he not understand that "honorary" means "fake"? You make young kids "honorary pilots and sheriffs," not full grown adults.

He claimed he worked in law enforcement but never did according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

He claimed he had a magic body spray that will kill Covid on contact, allegedly approved by the FDA and the EPA. No such thing exists.

In an interview recently, Walker claimed Donald Trump never said the election was stolen, although Trump's been saying it hundreds of times at rallies and interviews for the past two years, even before he lost by 7,000,000 votes. Watch him actually say this on tape here.

And when asked about President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, the little mouse inside his head started his damaged brain-wheel spinning, and this head-scratcher is what spewed from his mouth: ‘A lot of the money is going into trees. We’ve got enough trees. Don’t we have enough trees around here?’

Here's a short compilation of some the mentally-unbalanced and downright frightening ideas he has actually verbalized.

For sanity's sake -- and the sake of the country -- Georgie needs to KEEP SENATOR WARNOCK. If you want to help even if you don't live in Georgia, here's his website.

Roger Stone Belongs in Prison Now

Not a day goes by where more outrageous, incriminating evidence comes out about Donald Trump, his family, his closest advisors, and just about all in his inner circle. As is so often the case, Trump's people themselves provided the incriminating audio and/or video.

Newly released video from weeks before the November 2020 election shows former Trump advisor Roger Stone not only predicting political violence, but encouraging it, and planning to ignore and overturn election results using any means possible.

Video clips from a Danish film crew filming a documentary about Stone will be used in this week's January 6 Committee's hearing.

In one of the clips, Roger Stone told a staffer that Trump should use the courts and federal judges to stay in power even if he lost.

In other clips, Stone predicted the Trump team would use "armed guards and loyal judges" to overturn the will of the American voters. The plan, all along, was to claim victory on election night no matter what the actual outcome. Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and Rudy Giuliani all told Trump to disregard the actual results and simply go out to the podium and declare victory.

On the video, Stone can clearly be heard laughing and saying, "Fuck the voting. Let's get right to the violence. See an 'antifa'? Shoot to kill." He said this multiple times, knowing full well there was a film crew embedded with him. See the video here.

Republican Jackass of the Week

 J. R. Majewski, Air Force combat veteran who served in Afghanistan right after the 9/11 attacks of 2001. Poor guy dealt with such dehumanizing conditions while fighting, that he had to go 40 days without running water or a shower. This wonderful patriot who put his life on the line for America is running for Congress in the Toledo area of Ohio.

Wonderful indeed. Except none of that's true.

He lied. And lied and lied. He lied so much that the National Republican Committee, which had earmarked almost a million dollars of advertising money to support him, has pulled all of it.

Turns out this Majewski guy never deployed to Afghanistan. He was in the service, and spent time in Japan and Qatar, both US allies far from the fighting in Afghanistan. His job was to load and unload equipment on planes. 

No fighting, no guns, no bullets, no enemies, no lack of showers.

He also claimed to be an "executive in the nuclear industry." His employers debunked that false claim.

Majewski is in reality a Trump insurrectionist, a Maga Q Republican, an election denier. He was at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 with the Trump rioters.

Oh, he claims he's not a Qanon supporter, but he has posted Qanon memes to his social media pages many times and wears "Q" tee shirts. He's so embedded in Insane Trump World that he actually painted his lawn with a Trump campaign logo.

This kind of whack job conspiracy theorist -- and liar -- is exactly what the voters in northwestern Ohio don't need.

Why President Biden was Right About the Covid Pandemic Being Over

In a 60 Minutes interview last week President Biden stated, "The pandemic is over, but we still have a problem with Covid. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over."

This set the rightwingers in Congress and all over the conspiracy-driven fringe rightwing media to have nervous breakdowns. How dare he say it's no longer an emergency, said the same yakking heads who never accepted it as an emergency for the past three years. The same people who regurgitated Donald Trump's lies that it would be over by Easter of 2020, that horse deworming paste or the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine would cure you of Covid, that you could cleanse the lungs by injecting disinfectant, or that somehow shoving light into the body would do the trick, are suddenly pretending it's a four alarm fire.

But President Biden's right. According to an infectious disease physician with the American Medical Association, moving from a pandemic to an endemic "means the disease is still around but not at a level that's causing significant disruption in our daily lives."

Dictionary.com defines a pandemic as "a disease prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world." It defines an endemic as "a disease persisting in a population or region, generally having settled to a relatively constant rate of occurrence."

The Biden administration has been monumentally successful in quelling Covid down to a very manageable level. Free test kits and free vaccinations have been available since President Biden took office, and now almost no one who contracts Covid ends up in the hospital, on a ventilator, or in a grave.

Instead of bitching about President Biden's statement, these professional complainers should be grateful.
