The Supreme Court is Coming for Gays Next

As if the Supreme Court’s historic reversal of Roe v. Wade wasn’t enough today, Judge Clarence Thomas, husband of insurrectionist Ginni “Release the Kraken” Thomas, announced in his opinion that the Court should target gays next.

The Supreme Court should revisit such historic decisions as the ones that established the right of gays to privacy in their own homes (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003) and the right to marry (Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015), he stated.

Those rulings “were demonstrably erroneous decisions,” he wrote.

That’s not some careless aside.

TFG is Having a Bad Month. Why That’s Great for the Country.

On February 7, 2022 By Mark PerigardIn Politics2 Comments

We’re in Year Two of Joe Biden’s presidency, but TFG (The Former Guy) can’t let that election go.

In a recent statement, TFG actually said the quiet, traitorous part aloud:

While repeating his lies about widespread voter fraud, he said that … ‘Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome … Unfortunately, he didn’t exercise that power. He could have overturned the election!”

The New Yorker celebrates the last of Trump.

There’s a lot to celebrate this week.

For starters, the country is still here. The United States is still a democratic republic.

There seemed to be some doubt that might continue when an angry mob invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, only the second time it has been breached in 200 years.

Then, it was the British; this time, our fellow Americans.

These white supremacists, incited by the president, tried to overturn a lawful election.

They were halted. We got lucky.

I Wrote about Trump. Something Odd Happened.

On May 26, 2020May 26, 2020 By Mark PerigardIn Politics1 Comment

I’ve written a few times on my personal site, MarkPerigard.com, about Orange Babyhands.

As you might guess, it hasn’t been particularly flattering.

Not long after the first post, something unusual happened.

All my posts across my site were bombed with spam … hundreds of unwelcome junk, most of it, judging from the use of the Russian email service Mail.Ru, from Russia.
