Ethics group calls out ethically suspect pols

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Back to those paragons of virtue… our legislators. FACT, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, released their annual ethics report – and it ain’t purty. And before you go excoriating just those damn Democrats…  remember that Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Justice apparently blind to the optics of HIS […]

Let’s follow up on some stories from the past. First up – thebesig just did a story about some Washington, D.C. area servers and waitstaff who announced their intention to give lousy service to incoming administration people.

Trump: DO Something! Part 1

Veterans, privates, officers, Coasties, no matter: they love ’em all, until two nanoseconds after the winner is called.

AOC tries to impeach Thomas and Alito

Massie, Trump dissing troops

So little space, so much to discuss. Let’s start with the Iranian bombing of Israel. It isn’t bad enough that we have pro-Palestinian demonstrations occurring on campuses of “institutions of higher learning” but we even have support for Hamas in Congress. As Mr. O’Rourke said, “a parliament of whores” indeed. More than a dozen House […]

Sheila Jackson Lee, a science great

Just ask her. After all, she led the Space subcommittee of the House Science Committee, right?  And we know she never, ever, makes tells a untruth (when her lips aren’t moving.) The latest is, however, noteworthy. “Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete-rounded […]
