  • Every day, 11,000 Americans turn 18
  • Every time Pelosi passes a bill that's sure to die in McConnell's Senate, she highlights the seeming contradiction of "There's no point in passing impeachment articles when we know Senate Repubs won't budge"

This kind of visual is an important component of what we need if we're going to have any real shot at moving this joint off the slide that takes us down into plutocratic rule.

And we need a lot more just like them.

Here It Comes, Kentucky

Looks like we might get a good one goin' in the Democratic primary to pick who'll have the privilege of trying to kick Moscow Mitch outa the US Senate.

Amy McGrath:


And there's some reporting that says Charles Booker (State Rep) is considering jumping into it too.

Here's hoping for a candidate who stomps McConnell 'til there's nothin' left but a greasy spot on the rug.

Knowing full well that normal people see them as fools when they do it, they make shit up rather than admit they may have been wrong about something.

And that's one of the main points for The Daddy State - there is no Right or Wrong. There is only power for its own sake.

The power to change history - to change the meaning of words - to dictate how we perceive events in the real world - all in service to the power of those few who're in charge of The Daddy State.

Today's Birthday


Eunice Newton Foote (July 17, 1810 – September 30, 1888)

American scientist, inventor, and women's rights campaigner from Seneca Falls, New York. She was the first to suggest that changing the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would change its temperature, in her paper 'Circumstances affecting the heat of the sun's rays' at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in 1856. Because women were not yet allowed to present papers to the Association at that time, Professor Joseph Henry of the Smithsonian Institution spoke on her behalf. In the process, although her experiments did not clearly differentiate between the effect of incident solar radiation and that of long-wave infrared, she detected the root cause of what we now call the greenhouse effect.
