The Rev vs the reviled? No, not quite yet, but a good analogy to the political morality plays ensuing there. Making global headline news in The Guardian was the real-life tale about a heroic Georgian and at CBS/AP headlined 20-month-old sheepdog named Casper fights off and kills 8 coyotes that attacked his flock, farmer says.

  1. The Guardian story:

    If anyone has earned the title of very good boy, it’s Casper, a 20-month-old Great Pyrenees from Decatur, Georgia, who single-handedly killed eight coyotes trying to prey on his owner’s sheep.

    Last week, a pack of 11 coyotes attacked the flock of farmer John Wierwiller, according to a report from a local television station, WAGA-TV. Casper defended the sheep furiously in a fight that left some of his skin and part of his tail torn off, Wierwiller said.

    The heroic sheepdog killed eight of the coyotes and chased the three remaining off the field of battle, but he didn’t immediately come home, so Wierwiller put out a call for help in finding Casper on social media, CBS News reported. Two days later, Casper returned on his own to the household for which he was willing to put his life on the line.

  2. not newsworthy enough for you?  how ’bout the usual media fare out there according to cartoonist Rivers

     

  3. news by noah

    Trump calls for certain parts of the Constitution to be terminated, the U.S. is out of the World Cup, a Tampa police chief who was illegally riding in a golf cart resigns after trying to get out of a traffic ticket, the Supreme Court hears another same sex marriage case about whether a wedding designer can refuse to serve gay couples, and a new AI writing tool called ChatGPT has remarkably human-like skills.

  5. I suppose today is when I can finally mention why I think the cruelest joke on repub voters in Georgia is funny.  The “brains” somehow came to the conclusion that by running a Black man against a Black man would somehow make the Dems decision on who to vote for confused.  I cannot imagine the White gqp folk thoughts on being forced to vote for a Black man.  I had relatives who were some of the most racist people I every met and they would never vote for a Black man or woman, even if it meant being represented by a Black person of the Dem party.  Yeah, own the Liberals you fools.

  6. BB, you’d think that if the GA GQP wanted to confuse black Georgia Democrats causing some to vote for the black GQP candidate they would have chosen a better candidate – instead they made it a stark choice between a smart, articulate minister  who preaches from the same pulpit as MLK and an idiot. Not much of a choice IMHO.

  7. Except NBC decided to air the clip of a black, woman who said she is voting for Walker because she wanted someone who would vote for “conservative, Republican values.”  So, in Walker’s case, an effing hypocrite.  Does she realize, or does Walker, that they are disposable to the GQP, if they ever get enough power? 

  8. https://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2022/12/watch-mcconnell-and-mccarthy-shunned-as-congressional-gold-medal-recipients-refuse-to-shake-their-hands/

    “Watch: McConnell and McCarthy Shunned as Congressional Gold Medal Recipients Refuse to Shake Their Hands”

    “Law enforcement officers, some of whom gave their lives to help defend the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, are being awarded for their bravery with the Congressional Gold Medal, but in Tuesday’s ceremony several refused to shake the hands of Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.”

    Well, why would they shake hands with those aided and abetted and/or continue to give comfort to the enemy?

  9. McConnell: “Let me just say, anyone seeking the presidency who thinks that the Constitution could somehow be suspended or not followed, it seems to me would have a very hard time being sworn in as President of the United States” 

  13. Weisselberg fell on his sword for tRUMPsky under oath. He must either be brainwashed or afraid of the mob family.

  15. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/05/asia/indonesia-new-code-passed-sex-cohabitation-intl-hnk/index.html

    “Indonesian lawmakers unanimously passed a sweeping new criminal code on Tuesday that criminalizes sex outside marriage, as part of a tranche of changes that critics say threaten human rights and freedoms in the Southeast Asian country.”

    “The new code, which also applies to foreign residents and tourists, bans cohabitation before marriage, apostasy, and provides punishments for insulting the president or expressing views counter to the national ideology.”

    “The world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia has seen a rise in religious conservatism in recent years. Strict Islamic laws are already enforced in parts of the country, including the semi-autonomous Aceh province, where alcohol and gambling are banned. Public floggings also take place in the region for a range of offenses including homosexuality and adultery.”

    So, road trip, anyone?

  22. The DOJ dropping supeenies on election officials in key states . It seems that Mr. Smith  has arrived in Washington. 
     
    Mr. Trump’s ass is in a real sling , his pack of grifters is melting like the Greenland ice cap. Kari Lake  got Dope Slapped in court when  she tried is blue print. 
     
    His taxes are a whole new stream troubles , the lenders  he screwed over the years will be looking at every penny.
    And now Mr. Walker is about to board the midnight train to Houston.

  23. The more I saw of Walker , the more I saw the past ……….. The ceramic “Darkie eating watermelon” .
    And at the end the GOP was saying that Warnock’s IQ was too big to serve in the Senate. 
    \This is moral bankruptcy.
    We saw it in the Rotonda today as well. 
    The GOP is a parliment  of whores.  

  27. Bob, I don’t know whole lot, but I do know this Herschel walkers IQ is definitely not too big to serve in the US senate.
    This is insane. 88% of votes in, 3,250,000 votes reported and the margin is < 11,000 votes. 

  30. …less concerned with Hershel’s intellect than the 1.65 million people that voted for him??
     
    Anyway, good job Senator Warnock 🫡 🇺🇸 

  32. +1 without the VP tiebreaker does mitigate a lot of Sine-manchin influence, the threat just isn’t as effective

    …wouldn’t be surprised if Manchin flipped though, he obviously craves attention
