6/2/21: Pastor Rick Wiles, who said vaccines for COVID-19 were part of Satan’s plot, gets COVID-19 and ends up hospitalized.
When
people make fun of the poor man, a church spokesman warns that mockers are
paving their path to hell. (See: 4/12/21.)

SPEAKING OF mockery, if you have $525 (or more) you can pay Donald J. Trump Jr. to create a personalized video for you or a loved one.
For example, “Happy birthday, Marge. You don’t look a day over 40. Dad and I wish you many more.”
Cha-ching. That will be $525.
Don Jr.
also promises that a portion of the loot he rakes in will go to charity; but we
already know what happens when Trumps run charities.

You, hey you! Send me your money. |
We also learn that Hunter Biden is hoping to sell paintings he’s been doing for high prices. Normally, the right-wing types are all in favor of capitalism. If the people who own Walmart have billions, and pay workers minimum wage, that is how the system was meant to operate. But Hunter Biden cashing in? This outrages Jason Chaffetz, at Fox News, and all the other folks who sell outrage as a staple of right-wing “news.” In fact, you can’t cram all the outrage into one show. So you need a second. Then a third. Then, for fun, you can mix in a story about how Hunter’s dad is senile.
My liberal heart tells me: Don’t be a dope. Don’t buy Hunter Biden’s art, even if the price is cheap. In fact, if someone is willing to pay $500,000 for a work the president’s son painted, in finger paints, leftover house paint, or whatever, I might argue this is proof we need to raise taxes on the Top 1%. I’d also say, don’t pay Don Jr. to record your birthday greeting to your wife.
(Also, don’t make Secret Service agents pay to stay at Trump resorts while they guard the ex-president.)

FUN FACT – IF YOU ARE A CEO: According to the Economic Policy Institute, during the pandemic, CEO compensation at 350 major corporations increased nearly 16%. Did you get a 16% raise in the last year?
I am betting you did not. The average worker’s pay “shot up” 1.8%. Just as God and the Republicans and Fox News intended.
