1. How I wish Teddy could've given today's quote to the Nuggets last night, preferably before the game was over in the 2nd quarter. Dude continued with his 1912 campaign speech after getting shot!

4. Stormy is on the witness stand and "Tiny" has to sit there and take it without speaking. Even with the Nuggets being down 0-2, today is a great day.

5. HoBo's white Christian Nationalist slip is showing again. So she has a problem with individuals volunteering their homes to immigrants? As an at of compassion? Love? Empathy?  What a g@#%>!m embarrassment this clown is to Christianity based on the brown-Jesus' life.

   2. What exactly is the basis for her knowledge of what "the entire world" thinks? Like her role-model, Sarah "Moose Souflé" Palin, I'm guessing that Lauren has never ventured outside of the United States.  

      I certainly do not profess to speak for the entire world but I have found myself here in Mexico trying to explain things like Q-Anon, the Jewish Space Laser, Donald Trump/MAGA, and Electoral College to my in-laws who react with shock and disbelief. 

      Yes, she is right that there are people in other parts of the world who laugh at us but not for reason she cites.

   3. Boebert apparently has an annotated Bible

      • For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger [from within the borders of our country] and you welcomed me,

      • “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.  ]This command void if it involves people from "down there."]

      • You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.”  [So, don't welcome natives into your home, either.]

      1. A few more edits ……

         "For I was hungry and you gave me food GOVERNMENT-FUNDED CHEESE WHILE ALL OTHERS WERE LEFT TO EAT THE PORK SLIDERS, I was thirsty and you gave drink, I was a WHITE stranger FROM WITHIN THE BORDERS OF OUR COUNTRY and you welcomed me"

6. Mike Littwin give his take on the Boebert phenomenon and the likely outcome of the upcoming primary:

   All Boebert needs is the MAGA base to win the 4th CD. And she’ll chase down protesters to keep them.

   This is the way Boebert would prefer you perceive her: as a fearless fighter, ready to take on anyone for the benefit of the MAGA cause.

   Or you could look at her this way: as a heat-seeking celebrity politician who is unafraid to embarrass either herself or her constituents so long as there are enough TV cameras nearby. I mean, returning fire at hecklers is small change when compared to her viral heckling of Joe Biden at a State of the Union address.

   However you see her, Boebert was clearly playing to the MAGA base when deciding to visit the D.C. university. That’s because the way she looks at it — and the way virtually every political pundit looks at it — is that since she’s in a six-person race, overwhelming support from the base is pretty much all she needs to win.

7. Conservative Judges Have a Cow.

   More than a dozen conservative federal judges are threatening to not hire law clerks who attend Columbia University or its law school starting this fall — an attempt to show the judges’ displeasure over the institution’s handling of pro-Palestinian protests.

   The lead signatories include Judges Elizabeth L. Branch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit; James C. Ho of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit; and Matthew H. Solomson of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, who became known across the nation for his decision to suspend federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, also signed onto the letter.

   1. Are they required to hire from Clumbia? If I were on the bench and hiring a law clerk, I probably wouldn't take anyone from Liberty University. Or anyone who studied under John Eastman.

      1. And what law student from Columbia would possibly want to clerk for Kacsmaryk.

   2. I remember when Republicans said those who protested the Iraq war would never get jobs. Now they vote for trump and say bush was a criminal and admit Iraq was a mistake… 

      The older I get the less Republican I get

   3. Funny that a judge on the court of claims is making that threat.  Who the hell wants to clerk there, except for people that want to be perpetually bored?  And want protestor is going to want to clerk for Judge Ho?  Let the federalist society law students fill the ranks of the originalist lickspittles.
