MACDONALD: Morality Gap

Tue, 2026-05-05 21:00 +0000

I have not been shy about how hypocritical mail-order abortion pills appear to me. I’m old enough to remember the coat hanger in a back-alley argument made by the baby-killing party. I don’t think anyone ever tried it, and if they did, it was only because Democrats suggested it. Many decades of lying about abortion ... Read more

MACDONALD: Brush Fire Blame

Tue, 2026-05-05 16:00 +0000

Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything is the result of their sky god, while yours is just a fake thing ... Read more

Before I get into discussing the recommended hairstyle for Comrade Rep Laura Telerski, a hat tip to Beth Scaer and username “Progressive New England,” who tweeted about the style of interest I am proposing.  Both of them inspired the creativity for this article.  Beth and I often ridicule the appearances of various members of the ...

Today, on the Morning Update, three dozen Illinois school districts are under investigation, and Gov Governor JB Prickster, sorry, Pritzker, doesn’t like it, not one bit.
