The personal is political

 Show us your ultrasound!  Remember Katie Britt, the other dumbest senator from Alabama?  The one who responded to SOTU from her haunted kitchen?  She's also the author of the MOMS Act (More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed), which would create "a clearinghouse of relevant resources available for pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children."  It would exclude any resource that provides abortions, instead directing women to fake clinics that talk them out of it.  In short, "a comprehensive culture of life."  What about providing poor women with free prenatal testing and care, nutritional support, early identification of medical problems...what are you, a socialist?

Is ICE performing involuntary hysterectomies on migrants in its custody at the southern border?  Jamie Raskin wants the Government Accountability Office to investigate.  Maybe Senator Britt would like to amend her bill.

What would you do for a sparkler like that, ladies?  You may not like the answer.  This is Maria Ryan, named as co-respondent in the 2018 divorce filing of Judith Nathan Giuliani.  The ring, which the Daily Mail estimates at $60,000, is more recent, possibly the result of her fiance's spending spree as he simultaneously files bankruptcy, struggles to survive on $43,000 a month, and struggles even harder to keep his money out of the hands of Shaye Moss, Ruby Freeman, Nathan, Dominion Voting Systems and who knows who else.  Luckily, the happy couple have a radio show said to bring in $400,000 a year, so they won't be sleeping in Bryant Park, but it's still a long way down for America's Mayor.  (I thought New York was a crime-infested hellhole with a murder on every block.  Either Ryan is an idiot to walk around like that or...Trump is full of shit!)

Speaking of fecal matter, Steve Bannon's six-month contempt sentence was upheld by the D.C. Court of Appeals.  He can report like a big boy or he can get one of the surprisingly affordable Supreme Court justices to strike it down.  How much would you pay to avoid having to shower?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has fired the head of the agency responsible for his security after two of his bodyguards were accused of trying to kill him.  Mr. President, get yourself a German shepherd.  They bite bodyguards who they sense pose a threat to their masters.  I can say no more.

I'm shocked.  Far-right troublemakers have been showing up and fomenting violence at campus protests.  They include Proud Boys, Three Percenters and Neo-Fascist Rise Above.  Israel has attracted some interesting allies.

 

Not Henry Luce's Time anymore, is it?

Did you know that Tucker Carlson was "basically the voice of everyone"?  Neither did I until Margie Greene went on the Steve Bannon Show to deliver a trumpian rant about the collapse of Fox News.  They not only fired Carlson, they didn't devote enough airtime to her disastrous attempt to get rid of the Speaker.  They don't carry enough Russian propaganda, they want to control what people think, they attack Charle Kirk, they want to murder poor Tucker.  Yes, the Republicans are way too mainstream for real Americans like her.  Bannon can expect at least one visitor in prison.

Here's some good news for Marge:  The Shenandoah Valley school board is re-renaming two schools for Confederate generals.  Stonewall Jackson High and Ashby Lee Elementary have risen again.
