It’s fact-check time.  It’s truth serum time.  It’s an attempt at sanity in these insane times.  And, it starts now. Are you for or against packing the U.S. Supreme Court?  Currently, nine justices preside.  The Democratic majority in the House of Representatives is champing at the bit to pack the court with four new appointees …

Over the weekend our friend Woke spoke out against Georgia and its supposed voter suppression laws.  Never mind that the laws in place in the southern state are actually more progressive now than they were during the recent elections.

The weekend is here.  Time to overindulge a bit.  Start with Ten Pieces of healthy Nuggets first.  They’re ready below.  The NBA trade deadline came and went yesterday.   Were there any blockbuster deals?  If you say so.  It’s early, feel free to yawn.  Dwight Howard flashed a wide smile across his face before the Philadelphia 76ers faced the Los …

For the first time in over 85 years, Monopoly’s 16 Community Chest Cards are about to get a “long overdue” redo, Hasbro announced last Thursday. And, why not?  #metoo has an entirely new meaning these days, DeShaun Watson aside.  Hasbro is following the lead of Dr. Suess and the Potato Head formerly known as Mr. …
