Yep, Trump's the Antichrist alright

Just say it: radical christianic terrorism. Marjorie Taylor Greene supported Donald Trump but now she's convinced he’s the Antichrist. The End Times fulfill a prophesy and welcome a supernatural extraterrestrial to create a one-world government but no higher being could be anything but predatory. It's dystopian fantasy run amok. Trump’s people are broke, broken, disaffected, debt-ridden, desperate and determined to destroy civil society to wipe their slates clean so they can string up the bankers who enslaved them.

The signs are not exactly subtle…

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

ND Senator wants bigger bailout pool for welfare farmers

Welfare farmers in South Dakota are reporting the worst wheat crop in over forty years and some fifty percent of planted acres will be plowed under.

Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Hoeven, R-N.D., said today he favors increasing the $30 billion per year borrowing limit for the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Agriculture Department’s line of credit at the Treasury Department. The CCC was set up in the 1930s to stabilize farm income and prices, support agricultural exports, and provide disaster assistance. [Hoeven wants CCC limit increased]

The Murphy Fire is threatening homes and structures three miles northwest of Hermosa. And yes, the grassland fire danger index will reach the high and very high categories again Thursday for most of the chemical toilet, sacrifice zone, perpetual welfare state and permanent disaster area.

Flat Earthers denying a warming planet

In 1991 after the Soviet Union fell Republicans began their war on the environment substituting a new Green Scare for the old Red Scare. This blog was established in 2010 as a vehicle for rewilding the American West. 

In 2023 the CO2 Coalition was booted from the National Science Teaching Association’s convention in Atlanta.

At a conference hosted by the prominent science-denying think tank the Heartland Institute last week, a crowd of mostly middle-aged men in suits claimed the world is finally waking up to the idea that the climate crisis does not exist. “I feel wonderful,” James Taylor, president of the Heartland Institute, said in an interview. “The truth is winning out.” As people entered the event, held in the basement of a hotel near the White House, they were greeted by wares promoting climate denial. “Good news,” read a banner outside the main ballroom, erected by the CO2 Coalition, a climate-denying nonprofit that co-sponsored the conference. “There is no climate crisis.” [Inside That Weird Anti-Science Conference Where Trump’s EPA Chief Delivered the Keynote]

Gambling still a leading source of anguish in chemical toilet: part n

According to WalletHub, gambling is a leading source of anguish and despair in South Dakota with a high suicide rate and few avenues for treatment. The state is tied for first in the number of casinos and machines and second in overall addiction to the poison. The reasoning is hardly mysterious. It’s all about the money video lootery, a too big to jail banking racket, a medical industry triopoly, prostitution, the Sturgis Rally, policing for profit, sex trafficking, hunting and subsidized grazing bring to the SDGOP destroying lives, depleting watersheds and smothering habitat under single-party rule.

South Dakota ranks as the second-most gambling-addicted state, with some of the most casinos and gaming machines per capita. It also has a high prevalence of gambling through lottery tickets, with the 11th highest lottery sales per resident age 18+. South Dakota has legalized betting on fantasy sports, regular sports and horse races, and it allows gambling machines to be put in stores. With so many different legal ways to gamble, it makes sense that many residents have a problem. The grip that gambling has on the Mount Rushmore State is evident in the fact that it has a high number of Gamblers Anonymous meetings per capita.
