Sarah Palin just endorsed Donald Trump.

That’s all I can say.

Seriously.

Rick Santorum has come up with a good way to feel good about being bad.

Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum says the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants would be a “blessing” to impoverished Latin American countries that would benefit from skills they have learned in the United States.

You wanna know the only good thing about that?  The word “former.”

He said many undocumented immigrants are from poor countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, all of which he described as a “mess,” and would benefit from a large influx of people with American work skills and a knowledge of democracy.

Yeah, and they love America for kicking them out.  So, you know, there’s that, too.

My friend Evelyn Burleson says that conservative is just a political excuse for being greedy. Now Christianity is just an excuse to treat people like trash.

Most of you have heard by now that Blue Bell Ice Cream has found “the potential” of more listeria in their Texas factory.   This is after they killed three people and made ten people horribly sick.  And after their employees told some pretty disgusting stuff about the sanitary conditions at their factories.

But, do you want to know what’s not dirty at their company?  Money.  Their money is still very desirable.

Yeah, that’s $5,000 to Governor Greg Abbott at the height of the last shameful listeria outbreak at Blue Bell.

And here’s $500 to Joe Straus, the Republican Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

I wish they’d spent that money on handiwipes or something.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Headed up to the cold in New Hampshire.

A civilian student suffered an accidental gunshot wound to the leg during firearms training at Sig Sauer Academy Wednesday night, police said.

Police Chief Michael Wallace said police were called to the facility on Route 27 around 7:15 p.m. after the student accidentally shot himself in the leg.

Ya gotta wonder where the target was.

I think maybe the need to scratch out that bottom line.

Y’all, Louie Gohmert loves him some barbeque.

Take a look right here to see how he’s spending some of  the money that the rightwing sends to him.

He buys gas from Dr. Ken Dance?  And what kind of car holds $111.01 in gas?

Somebody with a calculator please add up how much he spends on telephones.

My personal favorite?

Do not buy barbeque at Target.  Just don’t.

Or Sam’s Club …

Oh dear God …

I was blessed to have a high school teacher at my all-white high school who assigned Dr. Martin Luther King’s Letter From a Birmingham Jail as a reading assignment.  It was written in 1963 in the margins of newspapers while King was jailed.

That letter awoke defiance in me and it remains strong in my soul.

You might want to read it today.  It is especially timely this year.  Click here.
