Free Covid tests are once again available from the federal government.

You can order them right here — it takes less than a minute.

These are the rapid antigen tests, which are not as reliable as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests (the kind that are analyzed in a labarotory).  But, hey, you can’t beat the price.

Here is a Washington Post article with more information — including when exactly to take the tests and where else to get them.



Consider the source.

If you give any credence to Donald Trump’s claims of election fraud (or, indeed, ANY claims the man makes) let’s put them in the context of his track record in telling the truth. I’m linking here to The Washington Post’s compiled list of 26,548 false or misleading claims since he took office.

The list was last updated on October 22, so there are more that two full months of steady accusations that have not been subjected to verification.  (Trump’s Twitter feed currently reads like that of a rabid, reality-impaired Don Quixote.) 

Fake news, you say?  Bias?  Take a look at the list.  It’s easy to understand, it’s meticulously detailed and it has links to back itself up.   It … looks pretty real to me.

This is the great truth teller in whom you have placed your trust — the man you’ve chosen to believe instead of The Supreme Court, all the lower courts, election officials, election workers, new reporters and even his own Attorney General.

It makes you think, doesn’t it?



 

Care to read a few banned political cartoons that criticize Donald Trump?

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette refused to run them and they got the editorial cartoonist fired.  But you can find them right here at The Washington Post.

Pass ’em along. They ban it, we spread it.

 

 

 

 

Editorial cartoon depicting Richard Nixon and the GOP, by Herblock, 1974

The macro below originated on Reddit, I think — but I can’t verify that this cartoon was published in The New Yorker.  The cartoonist, Herblock (Herbert Block), was actually a legendary cartoonist who worked for The Washington Post for most of his life.
