This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

Voting Machine Lobbyists realize too late
that they could have saved themselves a ton of money
that they gave to "Moscow" Mitch McConnell to block election security bills.
The last thing Republicans want to do is prevent Russian interference ...
after all - that's how Trump got his job in the first place
Offering McConnell huge sums of cash to block election security
is like offering Donald Trump a no-limit credit card to buy hookers.
In both cases, they would have gladly paid for it themselves.
By the way, remember this one?
Ivanka has a patent on voting machines
(I'm sure they're related to her fashion empire)
After all, what ensemble would be complete without a ... voting machine.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ... R.I.P.
Ginsburg dies of pancreatic cancer at age 87
Her goal was to outlive this Republican presidency ... she almost made it.
Remember when Republicans refused to fill the Supreme Court vacancy in Obama’s last year?
Remember when Republicans said that the American people should decide?
In case you forgot, here's the quote from Senator Mitch McConnell ...
"
The American people are choosing their next president,
and their next president should pick this Supreme Court nominee."
Show of hands ... how many of you believe
that they will remain loyal and consistent with their previous position?
Just as I thought. No hands.
There isn’t an honest bone to be found
inside a single Republican anywhere.

This is a long read (about an hour and a half).
Invest the time ... and you'll thank me for it.
Or you can read my brief summary
and then decide whether or not to invest the time.
Highlights from Philip Agre's treatise (2 pages)
Conservatism explained in detail (including its history in the U.S.)
That was written 16 years ago in 2004.
I wonder what this professor thinks about Trump?
The professor failed to see the resurgence that conservatism would enjoy.
But we can hardly fault him for not having psychic abilities.
I doubt if anyone (including Republicans) ever dreamed
that the U.S. would find itself under the influence
of a lying tyrant who would betray his country
and every principle that we hold sacred;
and be responsible for the deaths of countless Americans.
One change that I would make to his excellent treatise
would be to update his term "Aristocracy" to "Oligarchy."

How to defend yourself against ...
psychological projection
The tactic of projection is learned by kids on every playground in America by the third grade.
Sadly, it is so successful, that it often gets carried into adulthood, where ...
it works just as well!
Since this tactic makes up the majority of attacks that a rationalist will experience,
it is imperative that we learn how to deal with these infantile, but very effective, attacks.
As the lady said ... "Don't let them get away with it."

The Trump administration increases its assaults on freedom of the press ...
and particularly on veterans
Our freedoms are being stripped from us faster than our wealth.
Like Russia (Putin), China (Xi Jinping), and so many other countries
we will soon find ourselves under the boot of a dictator ... for life.
And Republicans are doing everything in their power to enable it.
UPDATE - (same day)
Trump backs down
Don't get your hopes up.
His style is to let people cool down ...
and then sneak around through the back door.
Stars and Stripes might as well start packing up their things.

FEMA, under Republican control,
refuses to pay for PPE for public schools
after threatening to pull funding from schools ...
that did not open for in-person education
The fact that conservatives are willing
to send their own kids into these death camps
proves they are no better than the parents in the Jim Jones cult
who killed their children with Kool-Aid.
Behold the awesome power of brainwashing

Bad news - you can catch Covid again ...
and the second time might be worse
Ghost worshipers and other reality deniers are learning the hard way:
Covid don't care about your invisible friends or your political propaganda.
Covid knows only one thing ... how to kick ass and put people in the ground.
So play all the delusional little games you want - Covid simply doesn't care.
