Jeff Tiedrich - elderly golfer spent the weekend spewing dangerous lies. the press snoozed through it.

hey, remember those adorable Hitler-quoting madcaps, the Mothers for Liberty? they were hot fucking shit a couple of years ago.

in case you’ve already forgotten these charmers, let me catch you up. the Moms began as a pandemic-era ‘parent’s rights’ group, railing against mask mandates and school closures — so naturally, they were the immediate darlings of ignorant Republicans everywhere.

high on their own supply, the Moms branched out into banning schoolbooks and trying to get LGBTQ+ teachers fired. it was at that point that they wore out their welcome. in one school board election after another, parents decided enough of this shit, and voted the Moms off the island. then one of their co-founders got caught up in a sex scandal and the group fucking imploded.

the Liberty Moms have a lot in common with Donny Convict these days. he, too, is past his sell-by date and struggling to regain relevance. so it’s only natural that the Moms invited Donny to be the keynote speaker at the third annual summit.

or make-believe news reporters on the numerous YouTube channels popping up right and left, feel like it's their duty to tell us, warn us, etc., etc. etc. Must be at least 10 of these people out there on YouTube.

I'm sick and tired of these. Right and left, there's something new on (or it's a different take on a thing that has been reported on 10 different ways from A to Z).

I knew and remembered about the Liberty Moms (a joke of all things). Thus, I knew enough to not waste my damn energy reading the article, getting my energy levels up again, etc. Don't waste any time or energy on these creeps, it's not worth it.

I do like Jeff Tiedrich and his articles as he injects a little pointed jab at these people that he writes about. And it's usually worth the laugh in reading. The rest of the articles, hmmm, I sit and think, do I want to spend 4 hours or so reading all of the new daily write-ups or not? Sometimes the answer is obvious, NO. I have noticed that when some event happens, you'll have roughly 5-10 related articles on that event. Other times, it's an editorial decision to read or not read (by me, the editor).
