The Dallas News reported that Lindsey Graham took $800,000 from a Russian oligarch. But not to be out done Scott Walker took 1.1 million. But he was not to be outdone either because Marco Rubio took 1.5 million. But then there’s Mitch McConnell who topped them all at 2.5 million.
A new bill in Oklahoma proposes to charge teachers personally from their own personal resources $10,000 per incident per individual if they teach any biology that offends Christian moral principles. Things are clearly not OK in OK.
The thing I like about Pete Buttigieg is he speaks his mind without malice. He presents as extremely intelligent, which is kind of novel in DC these days. He’s fluent in a number of languages which means he can think in different ways. I think Pete would make a fine POTUS one day
Sad news today. My 8 year old great nephew died in a house fire. His name was Wyatt. Please say a little prayer. He called 911 and broke a window for his brother to escape before succumbing to the smoke. He was an awesome kid.
Bernie Marcus, Home Depot's 93-year-old cofounder who said 'nobody works' anymore because of 'socialism' has donated $64 million to elect Trump and the Republican party over the years. Shop at Lowe’s.
From Forbes: The Dept of Defense released a withering review of Rep. Ronny Jackson’s tenure as top WH physician Wednesday, outlining details of sexually inappropriate behavior, an explosive temper and the use of alcohol and prescription-grade sleeping medication while working.
Sitting in my living room and saw someone out of the corner of my eye in the kitchen. I would think it was just mind eye games except the dog sat up and stared, too. There was no one there. Ever have this happen?
Gov. Desantis says they can’t teach black history in schools because it doesn’t teach both sides. What? That man is destroying education in FL. Wake up Floridians!
Lara Trump show floats theory Obama planted classified documents in Biden's garage. As we all know when the Republicans are accusing someone else, especially a Democrat, it was probably a Republican who did it.
On Thursday afternoon, Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas accused Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California of having said that “pedophilia isn’t a crime.” FALSE. Proves further Ronnie doesn’t listen. He’s a fool. Vote him out Texas
Obama says that over a third of Republicans support President Putin of Russia and that Ronald Reagan would be rolling over in his grave if he knew. Please people, remember to vote blue in November across the board, up and down the ticket.
Stephanie Grisham, former press Secretary, admitted to Jim Acosta this morning, that the admin. did work hand-in-hand with Fox News at the TFG’s direction. “If he didn’t like something, we were immediately to call Fox and have them fix it, or try to make a new story out of it.”
Today Ohio starts constitutional carry law. Concealed weapon, no background check, no training, no permit. There we go, gun deaths will go up in Ohio. Nice job Governor Dewine.
Alexander Vindman accuses Ron Johnson, 45, Mike Pompeo and fox News’ Tucker Carlson as being Russian assets who have blood on their hands for Ukrainian invasion by Russia. In my opinion that’s the short list. Time to prosecute.
Pete Buttigieg slams Ted Cruz & other Texas Republicans for attacking his family
"I can't imagine a situation where I would attempt to undo one of their marriages. So what makes them think that they are fit to pronounce upon mine?” Tell them Pete!
Kari Lake speaking a right wing fringe group today told them that Maricopa county is a house of cards and she’s not going to just knock that house of cards over, She said “we’re gonna burn it to the ground.” She is clearly following Trump’s playbook and needs to be stopped.
Well, the so-called Freedom Caucus is at it again. They are trying to block Direct TV from dropping the conservative Newsmax. Once again, trying to tell a private company what they can and cannot do. Sound like Russia or China to you? It should.
Cool, Russia is near foreign currency default. It will take $1.5 billion to rescue them. In 24 hours the ball drops. First time since 1917. Good going Vlad!
MTG makes 174,000 a year and she’s complaining about her salary. What the hell does she think people living on $800 a month Social Security would do if Republicans cut their benefit?
Can you believe Kyle Rittenhouse has like 928K followers on Twitter? I blocked him. I don’t even want to know he exists. He will always be a murderer to me.
Check it out. Brigitte Gabriel blocked me. My first badge of honor. Thank you Brigitte. I feel heard. You validated me and my opinion about how miserable you are.
Donald Trump has said that no business will stay in New York if he loses the legal case brought against him by the state's Attorney General Letitia James. I think old Donnie is a little filled with self-importance. His exit won’t mean a thing to New York.

I decided to move back to the house that is truly home to me. It was built in 1926, an arts and crafts bungalow. Always has been my favorite house.
A black pregnant black woman, Brittany Martin, was sentenced to 4 years in prison for a verbal altercation with a police officer during a BLM protest in NC. Meanwhile, some insurrectionists have gotten off with probation. Our system is broken.
Sounds like MTG is suffering a setback based on her performance calling the president a liar. A GOP staffer said I don’t think someone who looks and acts like a cartoon supervillain heckling the president on national television is the best representative of the republican party.
Family values GOP candidate Stan Pulliam exposed as part of a swingers club. But he wants us to know he wasn’t into any of “the dudes” in the group because he supports family values. Just wanted everyone to know.
Pastor Andy Allen of Allendale Methodist church plans to teach African-American studies at his church in defiance of DeSantis’ prohibition on teaching black history in public schools. I support this man of God and denounce Florida’s fascist Governor. Vote him out Florida.

The German experience of humanity and blind loyalty verified that there is always a large segment of any human population that buys in. Often the silent majority lives in fear. This is why we are important! We must shout it from the mountains that Trump is corrupt and must go.
It is so hard to believe that Rubio is ahead in the polls by 5%. What the hell is wrong with Florida voters? Val Demings is such a better public servant.
@DanKEberhart
Now is not a good time to lay claim to being a conservative when conservatives not only put the worst President in office, but, have protected him, compromising any conservative values that may have had.
My little lady passed peacefully July 3,2023 at 13:30 in the same room as my father. She was married to the same man nearly 70 years, she served as parish sacristan and seamstress for 50 years, for free. She was born in Moon Run, PA February 7, 1923. God rest her.
This morning I was listening to JD Vance, talk about his views on our policies towards Ukraine. He says that our policies are making the situation in Ukraine worse. Russia is making the situation in Ukraine worse. How about that JD? I am so ashamed of my state because of him.
Now here ya go, the republicans in Ohio have passed a bill in the house to arm teachers. Just 20 hours of training and teachers can have a gun in the classroom. It goes to the Senate. This is the root problem in the party, they aren’t smart enough to come with real solutions.
This is Republican former Mesa County, Colorado clerk Tina Peters, election denier, who has just been convicted by a jury of obstruction of government operations. Sentencing April 10th. Happy Easter Tina.
RS reports that Richard Crist, James Gordon, & Leslie Wallace have all been indicted on election fraud charges in Rensselaer County NY. Guess what party affiliation?
Ukraine offers to return the dead bodies of Russian soldiers to Russia via refrigerated train. Russia said no thanks. Anyone surprised? Imagine the Russian mothers.
52 years ago National Guards opened fire and killed students on the Kent State campus. They were students protesting. We haven’t come very far in 52 years.
I just did a survey and results said 90% of Christians believe their religion is under attack. I say BS. The Christian Right is attacking everyone else.
I cannot believe that all the countries of NATO are sitting back letting Putin destroy an otherwise prosperous country. No matter the threats of Putin, the world should be defending Ukraine.
Why would the Republicans block the cap on insulin? What’s in it for them? There must be something. I hope it wasn’t just to make Biden look bad because in the end they look bad.
Asylum-seekers arrived in Philadelphia from Texas to a warm welcome because once again Philadelphia can do what Texas will not. I know this will be a hot button tweet but I would say that Abbott’s plan isn’t working on the public relations front.

It’s amazing how over the whole world people are fighting against oppression. Man cannot keep down the human spirit and it’s fervent desire to be free.
Some good news from LGBTQ Nation. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held an anti-trans rally at the Capitol this week. A whopping 12 or so people attended and no major media outlets covered it.
Kevin McCarthy is now challenging Mitch McConnell. He says why would you want to work on anything if we have the gavel inside Congress. There it is folks, people like him have no intention of working collaboratively. We will get nothing good done with his attitude.
CNN reported today that Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law Tuesday that enshrines the “fundamental right” to access abortion in the state.
The estate of Brian Sicknick, a Capitol Police officer who died after responding to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, is suing two rioters involved in the attack and former President Donald Trump for his alleged role in egging it on. CNN. Clean them all out.
Let’s see, the Saudis are pumping like 658,000 barrels more a day but fuel prices keep rising. Now they say refineries can’t keep up. Sounds like big oil capitalizing on a fabricated crisis. Convince me this isn’t GOP in overdrive.
Just came out of the oven. Sourdough, black olive, rosemary, infused Tuscan herb olive oil bread. Perfect with yellow perch. An excellent Good Friday repas.
A teacher at a Christian K-12 school has resigned and pulled her own son out of the school after the administration asked parents to sign a contract condemning homosexuality and comparing it to bestiality and pedophilia. Helen Clapham Burns is my hero and I don’t even know her.
OK this is really Rich. Newt Gingrich slams, self-righteous and militant Republicans. Does he forget that he is their birth father? He was one of the key figures to start this whole right wing movement and now they’ve lost control.
Trump had some 400,000 expulsions of illegals. Under Biden there has been 1.7 million. But you know, Biden isn’t managing the border. Wish people would check facts. Numbers don’t lie. The difference is Biden isn’t cruel about it.
This is rich and classic GOP, Jim Jordan will be spearheading the new select committee to probe weaponization of government. Considering he is a target of the DOJ, he should not be in this position.
We celebrated Alex’s birthday yesterday with his one eyed dog. 🥰. I made him a marble cake with a chocolate glaze. Never made one before but he said it was his favorite so I figured it out. Happy birthday to our boy!
