Vance is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Ohio. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jd-vance-ohio-senate-flip-flops-trump-ukraine-1325127/ excerpt: "J.D. Vance was famously not a fan of Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 election. The Hillbilly Elegy author and venture capitalist called the soon-to-be president “reprehensible” and an “idiot,” and even wrote a piece comparing Trumpism to opioid addiction. Vance is now trying to win the Republican nomination for Senate in Ohio, and wouldn’t you know it, he’s done quite a bit of warming up to the man he once reviled. He was asked to explained himself Sunday night during a primary debate, and went ahead and called Trump the “greatest president of my lifetime.” “All of us say stupid things, and I happen to say stupid things very publicly,” Vance said of his past comments. “I’ve been very public about the fact that I voted for the president in 2020 and that I was wrong about the president back in 2015/2016, and that he’s been the greatest president of my lifetime.”"

Ex-Trump officials urge Texas to declare border 'invasion' - KTAR.com excerpt: "SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Former Trump administration officials are pressing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to declare an “invasion” along the U.S.-Mexico border and give thousands of state troopers and National Guard members sweeping new authority to turn back migrants, essentially bestowing enforcement powers that have been a federal responsibility. The urging comes as the Republican governor prepares to announce Wednesday “unprecedented actions” to deter migrants coming to Texas after the Biden administration announced last week it will end the use of a public health law that has limited asylum to prevent the spread of COVID-19."
Court orders Jan. 6 defense lawyer disbarred excerpt: "A Virginia state court has disbarred Jonathon Moseley, an attorney who has represented a slew of high-profile Jan. 6 defendants, including a member of the Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy, as well as several targets of the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol. Most prominent among Moseley’s criminal clients is Kelly Meggs, an Oath Keeper from Florida who took on a leadership role for the group that breached the Capitol. Moseley also previously represented Zachary Rehl, one of the Proud Boys leaders charged with conspiring to obstruct Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, though he withdrew from that case in December."
Wait for the uproar over Ukrainians trying to cross the border....we could sure use the skilled labor.
Excerpt: He added that the issue is "personal," referring to his mother's struggles with addiction. The topic of illegal drugs is a key issue in Ohio, one of the states hit hardest by the opioid epidemic. Whatever happened to the Republican edict that said people were responsible for their own actions? Naw, they’re white folks, but they better hurry up and speak American.
Most are taught English in school. I found it a bit astounding that many were being turned away for no visa while all the deadbeats with no real 'asylum' claims slipping out of Mexico / Central America seem to get a free ticket to welfare and Medicaid, but that's just me talking crazy racism again.
Vance calling Trump an idiot years ago was one of his intelligent remarks. Now that he's fully on board the Trump bandwagon, he's making stupid public statements to try to earn a Trump endorsement in Ohio.
In their song Sweet Florida, Van Zant praise DeSantis for telling it like it is. DeSantis staff delayed release of Gaetz associate Halsey Beshears’ spending records excerpt: "Gov Ron DeSantis’s office is coming under fire from advocates of Florida’s open government laws after an investigation published by News 6 alleged that staff intervened in the outlet’s public records request into the financial records of former state official Halsey Beshears, delaying their release for two months. In the documents obtained by News 6, the outlet was able to confirm that the financial records of Mr Beshears, a figure who has been reported by Politico to be connected to Matt Gaetz and the federal agency reportedly investigating him for child sex trafficking, were held up for secondary “review” by the governor’s office. Since the investigation into Mr Gaetz began last year, neither he nor Mr Beshears, both of whom served in Florida’s legislature together, have been charged with any crimes, while both continue to deny any wrongdoing. Just recently, Mr Gaetz told an audience of CPAC attendees that he equates the Justice Department, the body carrying out the investigation, to “cheaters” on a par with Russia’s Olympic team."
Trump and Bossie debut truther narrative film about the alleged stolen 2020 election. Trump debuts movie about 'stolen election' for supporters, says he has 'explosive' new findings excerpt: "The movie "Rigged: The Zuckerberg Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump" was shown for the first time on Tuesday night at the former president's Mar-A-Lago estate. Allies, supporters, and paying club members all gathered to watch the 42-minute film from Citizens United President and David Bossie. "Some of the people here say we shouldn't be talking about 2020," Bossie said during the showing, the Post reported. "I think it's vital that we do. If we don't prove what happened in 2020, how can we stop it from happening again." The picture stars several Trump advisers and alleges Democrats were assisted by Facebook, which gave money to states for voter turnout and education efforts. The poster for the movie shows Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg grabbing money."
OK Gaetz. We're all waiting for the incriminating bombshell evidence you have on Hunter Biden's stolen hard drive - isn't possession of stolen property a crime? Isn't trafficking and fucking under age girls a crime too? Isn't having bad goofy greasy hair a crime, too?
