people in most Italy do not consider Sicilians to be Italian and most Sicilian don't consider themselves Italian. but that is off topic

This "Registry" story is THE BEST! Haha. I love how MAGA is discovering the loudest among them are latecomers.

Are the MAGAs looking up ancestors on the civil registry bummed when they find out their grade is F because they fought for the confederacy?

Owens will mysteriously be bailed out. We never did get an honest story on Giuliani or Alex Jones.

With all the bribery going on, no whistleblowers watching Russ Vought, all the corrupt multimillionaires, and an FEC that's not watching campaign funds - there are many routes for a corrupt bail out.

Fingers crossed Owens and her "team" are moving money around to try to hide it from a potential judgment. Doing so will open her up to even more liability, and catching defendants doing this is one of the funnest parts of litigating these suits. I'm confident Candace is dumb enough to serve up some fraud claims to the Macrons on a silver platter.

Hi Linda. You should be able to print any webpage regardless of what sort of computer or browser you use. Typically, you click the "file" button at the top left and select print from there. The right-click function on your mouse may also bring up a menu. The webpage itself does not need a clickable button to be printable.

Sweet! I think my GPA on this is an A-. Three out of four of my grandparents are DAR eligible. Sadly they weren’t a bunch of dipshits so they never joined. The other was a late arrival in 1820.

ETA: I hope I get some sort of tax break for this. Do the Lesser Grade Americans have to pay my taxes or tariffs? If not, why not? How about some cool merch? Nothing? Well, crap.

Recently I've heard a lot about Candace Owens. I had to look her up. Right wing podcaster. Okay? There are a lot of them around. Then I read this piece. 100% she's scamming her listeners. I hope they don't buy a T-shirt or hat and I surely hope they don't donate to her scam. As I read on in Will's piece, I also realized that something else is happening here. She's not all there - like maybe some mental illness going on. Just to add fuel to the fire.

The “How American Are You?” people probably don’t realize that based on their own criteria, the “Gradest A” Americans are African-Americans, most of whom have ancestors who came over on ships in the 1600s and 1700s.

Candace Owens really needs help, but not the kind she thinks

Will, I wonder: do you have to have a stiff drink before you sit down and write about this insanity/evil?

Sadly, considering that Alex Jones is still going strong years after his despicable lies about the Newtown tragedy, I'm not holding my breath that Owens will be stopped.

Thank you so much for False Flag. I look forward to every newsletter.

Re: "Because, she suggested, it might link the Macrons to a CIA mind-control program."

Where does one go with this? Who listens to this person? How much influence could someone who believes such nonsense possibly have?

This is the thing that baffles me so much about the MAGA infotainment rage environment. The stuff that's said by these people goes from highly questionable to utterly insane. I get how an INDIVIDUAL might buy into this stuff. People bought into QAnon after all. But what about all the people around those people? Do they not roll their eyes and tell them to "turn that stuff off?"
