THE STREAM/ JOHN ZMIRAK-
Fans of American history will have marked an important anniversary. Two hundred and fifty years ago last week, American Patriots barged into a shrine to Satan near the Boston harbor and threw the goat-shaped idol into the harbor. The Stream ran a piece by historian Gary Smith on this famous incident just a few days ago.

Cassidy pushed over and decapitated the statue before he discarded the head in a trash can.
Attorney Jenna Ellis was last seen impersonating Christine Blasey Ford, going over and above the terms of her plea deal with Georgia to throw Donald Trump and his team under a prison bus, then backing the bus over them just to be on the safe side. Continue reading…
