Don Black is a former Ku Klux Klan member and convicted felon, which makes him uniquely qualified to run a neo-nazi website called Stormfront.

Into the ground. He ran it into the ground.

Stormfront has seen its influence wane as younger “alt-right” white supremacists gravitate toward sites such as the Daily Stormer, the Right Stuff and social media platforms, but Black’s site still remains popular with older racists.

Black’s wife Chloe had been paying the site’s bills in recent years and “working full time past retirement age to help support this site,” one user wrote this week.

Now you have to pay $5 a month to use the site. Old racists are gonna have trouble paying that since Trump’s tax cuts are hurting social security.  However, I am certain that they will be willing to suffer just to make black people suffer, too.

Oh good Lord, y’all, they have a senior citizen racist group.  Ponder on the for a minute.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Robert Mercer is a cringe name to start with.  It would be hard to find another man who has done so much evil with his money.

But this one takes the cake.  Open Secrets has dug deep enough to discover that Mercer backed a secretive groups that worked with Facebook and Google to target anti-Muslim ads at swing voters.

And these ads were grotesque.

As the final weeks of the 2016 elections ticked down, voters in swing states like Nevada and North Carolina began seeing eerie promotional travel ads as they scrolled through their Facebook feeds or clicked through Google sites.

In one, a woman with a French accent cheerfully welcomes visitors to the “Islamic State of France,” where “under Sharia law,  you can enjoy everything the Islamic State of France has to offer, as long as you follow the rules.”

Others featured beheadings, brown children with assault rifles, and other “be afraid messages.

Mercer and his friends went to all kinds of trouble trying to hide it, but Open Secrets tracked them down.

It’s a good read.

You will be delighted to know that Rachel Maddow did it.

MSNBC has been experiencing a dramatic rise in ratings, finishing the first quarter of 2018 as the only cable news network to grow compared to Q1 2017: MSNBC ratings were up 30%, while both Fox News and CNN experienced declines.

The March ratings results suggest Fox News’ unrivaled status as the dominant force in cable news may be facing one of the strongest challenges in years.

This is good news for good news.

To tell you the truth, I discovered Rachel when I went out and bought a satellite radio just so I could listen to her on Air America.  Marc Maron also had an extremely funny show on Air America.

Okay, so here’s the deal.

A woman walks to to Ted Cruz in a public place and asks him a pertinent question.  And all manner of nastiness breaks loose.

It went like this:

TEXAN: I just want to read what I want to ask. I’m a woman over 50, who has seven active pre-existing conditions. I’m not counting being female, and a survivor of abuse. I purchase my individual policy on the Health Insurance Exchange. If you force me into a high-risk pool, you will either bankrupt me or kill me. I take your threats of medical aggression personally and seriously; and I can assure you, I’m not the only Texan who does. My question is: Will you pledge to submit to a DNA test, to prove that you’re human?

TED CRUZ: Well, Ma’am, thank you for that. One of the great things about our democratic system is that we can treat each other with respect and civility.

TEXAN: Is that a yes or a no?

TED CRUZ: Ma’am, if you want to engage in insults, that’s your prerogative but I’m not going to reciprocate.

TEXAN: It’s a yes-or-no question.

TED CRUZ: Thank you for being here, Ma’am.

TEXAN: It’s a yes-or-no question.

TED CRUZ: Thank you for being here.

How civil and respectful is it to sentence someone to death?

For you people from foreign states:  Ted Cruz’s species of origin has become a major topic in Texas which includes, of course, teeshirts with “Is Ted Cruz Human?” printed on them.  Several writers have tried their damnest to prove it one way or another.  And there’s this.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Well, I am certain that this is merely coincidence, but here’s how this happened.

EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, who is a Trump Best Leader, has come under fire recently for a bunch of stuff including slapping Trump in the face for overruling the decision to give enormous pay raises to two of his Oklahoma friends by giving them raises with a little trick maneuvering.

On Fox News, Pruitt denied that he knew anything about it.

Pruitt denied his knowledge of the raises in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, and said the appropriate person who had signed off on the raises would be dealt with.

The very next day, Samantha Dravis, the senior counsel and associate administrator in EPA’s Office of Policy, resigned.

The source described the relationship between Pruitt and Dravis as a close friendship, saying the aide was Pruitt’s “best friend” and someone he had dinner with “several times every week.”

Also, come to find out, she is the former girlfriend of Rob Porter and she was the one who made the call to Don McGahn about the abuse complaints by Porter’s two ex-wives.

You know, swampy things.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Hop on over to OutSmart and Enjoy!  Feel free to comment over there.  They are nice people.  Ignore that crazy Republican guy who stalks me.

I’m going to the baseball game today.  You won’t see much of me here today because it’s a day game.

However, between innings, I will be reading my phone to see if I can figure out what Mueller means when he says that Trump isn’t a criminal target.  That means they don’t have enough proof to target him in a criminal investigation.  But that he is the “subject” of an investigation.
