Turning Point Unspun
A Facebook friend posted a meme from Turning Point USA: Since it wasn’t sourced, I figured I’d do a little fact checking. It turns out that the only accurate parts of it were the photos and logos. Here we go with the sourced data: Donald Trump has never topped 50% in polling averages. His disapproval […]

What the NRA Delivers
In the wake of mass shootings, it’s not uncommon to see articles like this one come out discussing the number and size of the donations the National Rifle Association makes to various politicians. While these articles are informative, they don’t really reach why the NRA is so effective. After the Sandy Hook Massacre, universal background […]

As dealings with Iran go, the answer would be: sell the Iranian government weapons in violation of an embargo, in order to illegally fund Central American terrorists […]

Scolding Polemic Bun Toons! YAY!
Originally posted on Ty Templeton's ART LAND!!:
Sometimes, I feel more like a good scolding than a good laugh. If you don’t know what this is about, go to a news site that doesn’t have the word “Fox” on it. It astounds me that there’s something called a “controversy” about removing the reprehensible symbol…
