  1. If you really want to know how bad it is, listen to C-SPAN’s Washington Journal in the morning. It will make you wanna crawl back in bed and pull the cover over your head.
  2. The puppy execution story explains so much about the disordered maga mindset.
  3. You’re right. That’s the saddest part.
  4. What’s happening on campus is reflective of a growing sentiment among Texans who are tired of feeling like we live in an apartheid state. The right wingers have gotten so aggressive in their quest to make us 1950s Texas, that people are finally beginning to pay attention.
  5. Mine too. That horny old biscuit should never have been confirmed.
  6. If there was ever any doubt that Americans value guns more than people, consider what would provoke the greater outrage - wholesale restrictions on your gun rights or your healthcare?
  7. Why aren’t the media in an uproar about Clarence sitting up there asking questions when his wife remains at large?
  8. I’m not sure how well known it has been outside of Israel, but it makes sense of some things I observed while there.
  9. How many of you are aware of this practice/custom within the ultra orthodox Jewish community? Since having come to light, many in Israel have spoken out against the practice, except for BIbi’s security chief, who has endorsed it. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-761490 https://www.aol.com/israeli-police-arrest-five-following-132409235.html
  10. It this what can be called a proportional response? Damn.
  11. A free society reads freely.
  12. It will be replaced with We Don’t See Black History Month.
  13. My church is holding its Justice Revival next week and for the first time ever, one of the three preachers is white and the pastor of a very large, prominent church in Dallas. I think it’s past time for this kind of exchange to occur because white progressives need to be heard from when it comes to role the church should play in advancing the cause Biblically based social justice.
  14. Or in suburban Houston or Austin as well. Let’s keep it real.
  15. Chuckle, no we don’t, Marge: https://news.gallup.com/poll/643601/americans-say-not-helping-ukraine-enough.aspx Fifty-five percent of Americans think the U.S. should continue to support Ukraine in reclaiming its territory, even if that requires prolonged involvement, rather than ending the conflict as quickly as possible, even if that means ceding territory to Russia (43%). These findings are unchanged from the previous readings in October. However, the percentage of Americans who now favor continuing the fight to win back Ukraine’s territory is lower than the 62% to 66% who preferred that approach between August 2022 and June 2023.
  16. Coaches who take this position have to be pretty secure in themselves and the roles they play in high stakes college basketball: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/floor-seats-college-recruiters-pass-160841424.html
  17. If some of the Magalitia are willing to publicly accuse Gaetz of child sexual assault, one can only imagine what they’re saying about him privately.
  18. Dissidents.
  19. Can anybody explain why the Magalitia thinks its conservative to support a guy who blows passenger planes out of the sky, throws political opponents out of windows of high rise buildings, poisons journalists, murders incarcerated dissents and kills thousands of innocents in Ukraine?
  20. McCarthy won’t rest until he sees Gaetz driven from Congress.
  21. I wouldn’t be too sure: How National Popular Vote Works Winner-take-all is not in the U.S. Constitution, and not mentioned at the Constitutional Convention. Instead, the U.S. Constitution (Article II) gives the states exclusive control over the choice of method of awarding their electoral votes—thereby giving the states a built-in way to reform the system. “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors….” The National Popular Vote law will take effect when enacted by states with a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). Then, the presidential candidate receiving the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC will get all the electoral votes from all of the enacting states. That is, the candidate receiving the most popular votes nationwide will be guaranteed enough electoral votes to become President. Under the National Popular Vote law, no voter will have their vote cancelled out at the state-level because their choice differed from majority sentiment in their state. Instead, every voter’s vote will be added directly into the national count for the candidate of their choice. This will ensure that every voter, in every state, will be politically relevant in every presidential election—regardless of where they live. The National Popular Vote law is a constitutionally conservative, state-based approach that retains the power of the states to control how the President is elected and retains the Electoral College. National Popular Vote has been enacted by 16 states and the District of Columbia, including 4 small states (DE, HI, RI, VT), 9 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NM, OR, WA), and 3 big states (CA, IL, NY). These jurisdictions have 205 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate the law.
  22. We only need 61 electors. We should be good by 2028.
