Mayor Casey Urlacher, pardoned by Trump, wins another term in Illinois town excerpt: "METTAWA, Ill. - Voters in a small Illinois town reelected a mayor who ran a write-in campaign after President Donald Trump pardoned him in a gambling investigation. Casey Urlacher, the brother of former Chicago Bears star Brian Urlacher, defeated Jess Ray in Tuesday’s election in Mettawa, 151-105, according to the Lake County clerk’s office. "These residents really rallied for me. It was a team effort," Urlacher told the Lake County News-Sun. "There were a lot of people working behind the scenes. I’m honored to be elected for another four years." Casey Urlacher was charged by federal authorities in a gambling investigation, accused of recruiting bettors in exchange for a cut of their losses. He had pleaded not guilty and was pardoned by Trump before the president left office."
It’s a heavily democratic district but the Mayor is the brother of a Chicago Bears Football legend which I guess eclipses even politics
Gaetz vows to fight, tries to stay on offensive amid scandal excerpt: "Gaetz is emulating the former president's approach and appealing to his most loyal supporters. The sponsor of Friday evening's event also organized the Jan. 6 “March for Trump” rally in Washington that ended with a mob storming the U.S. Capitol in a deadly insurrection. Gaetz repeated baseless claims that the election was stolen from Trump and suggested for the cheering crowd that he was a “wanted man by the deep state." “When you see the anonymous sources and insiders forecasting my demise, know this: They aren't really coming for me. They're coming for you," he said. "I'm just in the way.” Republican strategist Rick Wilson said, “Trump sees in Matt Gaetz what he wanted in everyone else," adding that, in many ways, the congressman is “the son he never had.”"
I hope Gaetz does fight just like his best friend Joel Greenberg who locked himself up in his house in a 5 hour stand-off with the police before eventually giving up. During the stand-off Greenberg threatened to kill himself, and told the police he would set off an IED if they rushed the house....lol..
OMG, we SO need a huge counter-protest at this event! Oh great, there's a QAnon "Patriot Roundup" event in Dallas next month (avclub.com)
To defend Trump, Gaetz illegally stormed a hearing in the U.S. House during Trump's first impeachment in a vein similar to Trump's siege on the U.S. Capitol. Gaetz was the grand poobah of the raid that delayed the testimony of a military official, similar to Trump's riot at the Capitol that delayed the electoral count certification. Gaetz's office released a statement saying that he has always behaved with the utmost professionalism. Matt Gaetz: What Joel Greenberg's plea deal might mean for Gaetz excerpt: "As news of Greenberg's possible plea deal broke, Gaetz's office released a statement from female staffers defending the congressman. "Congressman Gaetz has always been a principled and morally grounded leader. At no time has any one of us experienced or witnessed anything less than the utmost professionalism and respect. No hint of impropriety. No ounce of untruthfulness," according to the statement, which does not list the staffers' names."
The spring roundup in cattle country is also when they brand the newborns and cut off the nuts from the males to turn them into steers. After that work is done they peel the nuts and deep fry them to make ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS. Dallas is in cattle country.
