It never was about the fetus with the antiabortion nutters. It was always about punishing women for having "illicit" sex.

Speaking of nutters, there are more than a few of them--some 500--who are making bids for public office this November.

These "theobros" are nothing more or less than a revamped KKK.

"Conservatism" should be seen as the dirty word that it is, and it should go into the trash bin of history.
A "conservative" is nothing more than somebody who is a greedy, selfish, bigoted asshole.
Ronald Reagan and his ilk made assholery into a virtue.

Obituary: 2000 Preakness winner Red Bullet, 29, who denied 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus a chance at a Triple Crown, has died. He died August 7, years after he was pensioned from stud duty in 2011.
Snip:
Red Bullet (Unbridled—Cargo, by Caro) began his racing career as a 3-year-old, winning his first three starts, including the Gotham Stakes (G3). In his fourth start, he ran second to eventual Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G2) before defeating that rival in the Preakness.
Red Bullet was retired from racing with six wins from 14 starts and earnings of $1,161,920...

How low can he go? Trump's approval ratings are under 30 percent, 29 to be exact, the lowest he has ever gotten. And there is still two more years to go.
Speaking of politics, Karl Rove has decided to vote Democratic this election.
Snip:
“I’m gonna go get hats made up that say on the front of ’em, ‘Stone Cold,’” Rove said Friday during the 2026 Atlantic Festival in New York City.
Rove, who has defended the disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq, denounced his party in a fiery Wall Street Journal op-ed Wednesday. In it, he wrote he decided to vote against French after the candidate posted a photo of non-white University of Texas football fans, writing, “The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”
_______________________________
No matter what, Trump is really dumb. This is why too many people support him--they are equally dumb or even dumber, and they identify with him because he is dumb.

It's hard to take a New York Times columnist seriously when he doesn't understand Stephen Miller cannot be impeached because he is a White House staffer and not an appointed bureaucrat or cabinet member.

Obituary: Prominent thoroughbred breeder Arthur B. Hancock III, owner of Stone Farm, which is adjacent to Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky, has died at the age of 83.
He owned and bred Gato Del Sol, who won the Kentucky Derby in 1982. He became even more famous as the owner of 1989 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Sunday Silence. He had been the owner of Sunday Silence's infamous sire, the ill-named Halo, who was anything but an angel.
His brother, Seth, ran Claiborne Farm for many years after their dad, Arthur "Bull" Hancock, Jr, died in 1972. After Seth retired a few years ago, his son took over the reins of that farm.
Snip:
As his Racing Hall of Fame bio notes, Hancock certainly had the pedigree to become an influential figure in the game simply by following in the family footsteps, but circumstances dictated he journey down a different path. Hancock's grandfather, Arthur B. Hancock, founded Kentucky's legendary Claiborne Farm, while his father, Arthur B. "Bull" Hancock Jr., expanded the business to where it became arguably the most important breeding farm in the United States during the 20th century, and whose sales and influence also impacted European racing.
After graduating from Vanderbilt University, Hancock moved to the New York City area and worked for a year as an apprentice under future Hall of Fame trainer Edward A. Neloy. He then returned to Claiborne as the assistant broodmare and yearling manager under the tutelage of his father. However, after Bull Hancock's death, Claiborne's leadership wasn't passed to Arthur. Instead, those duties went to his brother, Seth.

He was also known as a songwriter and musician.
