Please pay attention to weather forecasts involving this storm. This storm is expected to be stronger than the original forecasts.
Now that the Republican campaign season is officially open with the first primary debate over in Wisconsin, it is probably a good idea to see what promises they are making that everyone knows they will not keep. During the runup to these events and in interviews afterwards, the erstwhile candidates to be first loser often go deep into their visions for the country. Again this is just blathering on their part but it is often fun to see just how hypocritical these people can be.
The first Republican debate is now history. Of all the candidates on stage (even the elephant that was in the room), only Vivek Ramaswamy stood out. I will reserve judgement on him until I learn more. The rest of them are cogs in a machine. There is little difference between them and their counterparts on the other side of the aisle.
Horrific images continue to come out of Maui. Reports are now indicating that 110+ people lost their lives in the inferno that enveloped Maui. In addition, more than 1100 people still are unaccounted for. More recently it has been announced that more than 2000 children are not accounted for. Maui is fast becoming one of the worst disasters in US history.
Former Governor Chis Christie is beginning to look a lot like the first loser. Vivek Ramaswamy comes off as the most genuine of the people on the stage in this exchange.
Multiple media reports are saying that Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash in Russia. For those who may be unfamiliar with the name, Progozhin was the leader (and owner?) of the Wagner Group. This is a significant military group that takes on military actions for Russia.
WARNING: Satire Ahead!
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a heartwarming ceremony, President Joe Biden awarded the prestigious Medal of Honor to Kaleo Manuel for his work conserving water during the deadly Hawaii wildfires.
“When people begged for water to save their homes, their very lives – Mr. Manuel had the courage to stand firm and say ‘No’,” said President Biden. “That’s the kind of climate change warrior this administration wants to honor.”
PDJT has announced that he will not be doing the first debate. And that may extend to all Republican primary debates. Murdoch of Fox News is furious at the loss of revenue this will entail. Fox is bleeding viewers since the ouster of Tucker Carlson. Ronna McDaniel is also upset since this will undoubtedly reduce the amounts of money coming into the coffers of the RNC. Let’s always remember that the RNC is a private organization. This private organization is beholden to those who fund it.
Please note that this poll was taken BEFORE the Florida governor decided to compare Trump supporters to “listless vessels.” DeSantis has dropped into fifth place behind Trump, Christie, Undecided and Ramaswamy.
Fox News and the RNC are furious that PDJT will not be present in Wisconsin. This will undoubtedly cost Fox millions in ad revenue.
Not only that, but Brett Baier will not be able to support Jack Smith in his cases against PDJT. While the Hunter Biden laptop was off limits during the 2020 presidential debate, Baier was almost certainly going to use the opportunity to grill Trump about J6 and documents at Mar-a-Lago. They would try to create legal jeopardy for Trump by provoking him into saying something that they could twist and use against him in front of judges and juries. So not attending the debate was the only sane option. Now, the DOJ will have to look for another approach. ...
Ralph Norman (R-SC-5), a member of the US House of Representatives, is one of the 15 House members that are trying to help to make the government more accountable to the people. Norman, along with 14 other Republican “rebels” forced changes in the procedures governing how the House operates. Hopefully this will move us away from the era of omnibus bills that are thousands of pages long that no one can adequately review before such behemoths come up for a vote.
This is the method the elite politicians use to push through legislation through that winds up lining the pockets of the legislators’ families.
