In 1962 a mass conspiracy theory surfaced that there was a bug loose in a textile mill that was biting people causing them to fall ill. It was called the June bug epidemic. Of course, I’ve written about the lizard people which was also a popular conspiracy theory. And who could forget Salem? That is…

A couple of years ago I brought to your attention the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. For those of you who missed it, brothers and sisters, I think that story bears repeating, especially in these turbulent times of information overload and, ahem, “alternative truth.” If Frank Abagnale Jr doesn’t ring an immediate bell, perhaps…

It happened on Sunday. On Sunday, cable news’s sanity and rationality suffered a bit of a disturbance.(That’s putting it mildly.) This is because an orange gnome decided it might be a bright idea to grant a specific network an interview. Let’s say things did not go well. The creepy black widow spider, known as Faux…

Lindsey Graham is up to his old tricks again. Over the weekend, Graham spoke about Iran, condemning President Biden and steering the conversation back to the only thing of importance in the South Carolina senator’s life. That would be Donald Trump. Graham said things would be different if Donald Trump were in office because the…

February is from Latin februa, meaning “to cleanse,” and was named after the Roman month-long festival of atonement. It was also the Roman month honoring the dead. This February 2024 is a calendar-correcting Leap Year. I tragically lost my beloved younger sister on Leap Day 2000. Not only was her sudden absence devastating, but we…

It’s happening. Donald Trump’s biggest civil trials are all in the process of concluding badly for him, and now we’re on the verge of his criminal trials. In the midst of it all, the 2024 election is this year. If you’re still thinking there’s another holiday season and such between now and the 2024 election,…

The bad news: imagine you’re a four times-indicted criminal defendant with millions of dollars in mounting legal fees. You’ve just been handed, in rapid succession, two crushing civil defamation judgments, one for 5 million dollars and the other for a blood-curdling 83.3 million dollars, both for raping and then defaming a woman. Meanwhile a judge…

“This feels a bit like a toddler showing their parents they can tie their shoes.” Those words come from Campaign strategist Susan Del Percio who wrote a column for MSNBC about Trump’s declining mental health. Del Percio writes that Trump’s “declining mental capacity” is now his biggest vulnerability. She writes that Trump is very clearly…

It’s far too early for poll numbers to tell us much about what the 2024 election will end up looking like. But there is some data within the current polling that appears absolutely disastrous for Donald Trump. 2024 polling, on the average, pretty much shows Joe Biden and Donald Trump tied. The media (on both…

I do adore it when Palmer Report is validated. This validation has been happening quite often lately, and with what President Biden just accomplished, the validation is pouring in. President Biden has won the South Carolina primary. In spite of all the wailing of imminent doom, by clueless pundits, President Biden didn’t just have a…

Last month, in a New Hampshire Democratic primary that didn’t officially count for anything, President Joe Biden won in a landslide despite not being on the ballot. Biden’s ability to dominate as a write-in candidate was a solid reminder of how popular he is with voters. It was also a reminder that candidates like Dean…

Over the past several days I’ve been getting more and more messages from alarmed readers, asking if it’s true that Donald Trump’s criminal trials are being pushed past the 2024 election. The answer is very simple: no, it’s not true. What is alarming is that even as we get closer to the start of Trump’s…

Reportedly, Matt Gaetz (failure, insurrection party, poor Florida) is whispering in the ears of some of his fellow Republicans. And this is interesting enough for an article. Because we all know when Matt Gaetz starts his whispers,bad things can and do happen. Reportedly, Matt’s objective is to “drum up support for a resolution stating that…

It’s already well-established that many Republicans in Congress, possibly most, secretly hate Donald Trump, but go along with his insanity because they live in stark, craven terror of both his stupid, ignorant mouth and his psychotic fanbase. But could that attitude also extend to some significant portion of the general voting population? It’s an intriguing…

Watching Nikki Haley running for the presidential nomination on the Republican side, is a remarkable experience. I say this because just when one thinks she’s learning to adapt, she says something so utterly ridiculous that one can hardly believe it. Appearing on the Breakfast Club podcast, Haley eagerly said if the state of Texas wants…

For all the buzz right now about the November 2024 election, there has been alarmingly little coverage of a 2024 election that’s taking place in just ten days. Perhaps that’s because while the election is being held to replace the headline-friendly George Santos, neither candidate in the race is making national headlines. But it’s still…

The question keeps being asked: is Donald Trump crazy or senile? The answer is “both.” He’s been derangedly, violently, malevolently unhinged for a very long time. And in recent years his worsening senility has gotten so severe that it’s finally starting to get serious attention. Of course terms like “crazy” are non-medical-professional descriptions of actual…
