The Ratfuckers' Plans to Undermine the 2024 Election in Georgia Are Under Way |
They are out there, scheming like the vicious elves they are, dragging the election deep into the margin of f*ckery. The Republican game plan is now plainly organized theft rather than political victory. The spirit of the Florida Heist of Aught-Aught is with them. According to the emails obtained by CREW and shared with The Guardian, the enterprise is run by an all-star team of veteran ratf*ckers. |

Gee, the Teamsters' endorsement—or, more accurately, their non-endorsement—was subject to lame-ass political expedience. What were the odds on that? O'Brien, of course, made the genius move of speaking at the Republican National Convention, where he was treated like a well-behaved skunk at that garden party. The Democrats thereupon declined to give him a speaker's slot, and he had a well-publicized tantrum about that. O'Brien has to know that no Republican president ever is going to be a friend to labor, and that's been the case for a while. |

The good folks at ProPublica remain on the Judges Gone Wild beat. Their latest subject, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, is Judge Aileen Cannon, the former president*'s concierge judge down in Florida who currently is waiting for an appeals court to throw her ludicrous dismissal of the Pool Shed Papers case back in her teeth. |

We begin in Ohio, where there is mischief and ratfcking afoot again. The state has a grossly gerrymandered state legislature and congressional delegation, and it has been fighting over new maps since shortly after Ulysses Grant left Galena to go off and fight the Secesh. The latest front in the ongoing hostility involves a summary of an anti-gerrymandering amendment to the Ohio Constitution, an amendment that is scheduled to come before the voters this fall. Democratic leaders in Ohio believe that the summary, written up by the Ohio Ballot Board under the direction of Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose, is misleading in that it explains the amendment will do the opposite of what it is intended to do. A lawsuit has ensued. |

For those of you who, quite sensibly, have taken to tripping balls on South American psychedelics every weekend just to get away from it all, here's what you missed over the past couple days. First up: Down in Florida, some other nutball got within five hundred yards of the former president* while carrying an AK-47—nutballs with AK-47s are just what the Founders intended—but you needn't worry. By 4:06 on Sunday afternoon, the former president* was up and grifting by email. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and ...
