For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Don’t think for one second this doesn’t matter. 24-year-old Keishan Scott just won a seat in the South Carolina State House by 41 points! Kamala won the majority-black 50th district in SC by 6 points. 4 months of The Dictator has made a huge difference.

NURSERY FAVORITES (1913) is a musical short film. Yes, the date is correct. Thomas Edison's movie patents were expiring and he wanted a new technology to regain control, so he attempted to launch a sound revolution pre-WWI. What he didn't count on was everyone wanting features, not talkies.
