Gustavo Petro Elected President of Colombia
The New York Times is reporting that Gustavo Petro has been elected president of Colombia today. That is shocking. It's not shocking that he won the election as he overwhelmingly had the popularity vote. What's shocking is that they didn't rig another election in favor of the Narco president. The fake news is billing him as a leftist guerilla. Yet the narco candidate was videotaped partying on a yacht with cocaine and prostitutes hosted by Pfizer. Pfizer is part of the World Economic Forum's Communist take over. Petro was a member of a paramilitary organization just like Bobby San... read more

Father's Day and Juneteenth
As today was both Father's Day and Juneteenth, I thought I would be remiss if I didn't write something about it today. Those are my sons Adam and Jake, respectively. They were both born in the early 90s at a time when I confidently thought we were well past the point of racism and that it would only get better as time wore on. So, we celebrated today at the local Applebee's, the first time I'd had the boys together in at least two years. We caught up and talked about movies and comics and AI, the usual free-wheeling conversations my sons and I typically have considering... read more

Pfizer reportedly sponsored Miami yacht party for failed Colombian presidential contender Rodolfo Hernández
Editor’s note: Rodolfo Hernández, lauded in US mainstream media as an “anti-corruption” crusader, was defeated by left-wing politician Gustavo Petro in his bid for the presidency on June 19, 2022.
