If I heard correctly, CNN is going to have the TX lawmaker who clashed with Hegseth on air shortly.

Just checking in on Ivory Hecker and April Moss. Hecker is still giving interviews and has begun producing independent news reports on bitchute, not sure what Moss is doing. But the real news is that Hecker has grifted $192k so far, and Moss is up to $125k. Not bad.

In other news, Kim Klacik continues to say silly things.

They should enjoy it now because 125 - 200K doesn't go as far for as long as they may think. Unless they can keep it going or have whittled their monthly expenses down to a bare minimum, they are both going to have to find a job at some point.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

Eh, true, but what do you think they make? A quick interweb search indicates maybe $50-60k/yr? At that rate, IF THEY BUDGET ACCORDINGLY, they'll have a good two years or more to secure other employment, yes?

That said, I don't know these two, but my experience has been that people in this situation generally get a new car, new this, new that, etc. and blow it all within six months.

Shirley when Cruz spouts off about the TX Democrats who left the state about running away and not doing their duty, Bartiromo will push back and ask him about Cancun during the winter freeze and power outage, right?

Yeah, but you forgot about Mark Levin -- he's always good for a whiny screaming tantrum into the microphone while shaking his fist at the clouds (just so you know he's really, REALLY outraged).

I had F&F on for a bit this morning. When did Rachel Capos-Duffy become a medical expert? Apparently the Delta variant is coming through the Mexican border, so just close it and everything is fixed!

Full disclosure, I was nodding off, so maybe I reamed it :shrug:

The Delta is already in the US for several months. Was her intent to speak of the Lambda variant that has hit Peru to something like 90% of cases and is spreading thru S.America?

i considered putting this in the Katlyn Jenner thread since she's in Oz bor Big Brother too, but I reckon it belongs here.

Far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins to be deported after boasting about undermining COVID-19 quarantine
Ms Hopkins had been brought to Australia by Channel 7 to join its reality television program Big Brother VIP, but was dropped from the program after boasting about the ways she was undermining the hotel's safety protocols, describing the lockdown as a "hoax".

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews told ABC News Breakfast Ms Hopkins's visa had been cancelled.

"We will be getting her out of the country as soon as we can arrange that," she said.

In a video that has since been deleted from Instagram, Ms Hopkins said she had been "lying in wait" by her door for workers delivering food to her room, so she could "spring it open and frighten the shit out of them and do it naked with no face mask".

Kilmeade: That's not their job, it's not their job to protect anybody!
Obviously time to disband our military. (we would save almost a trillion tax-payer dollars/year).

I'm sure that if that were true, there would be something in the Constitution about promoting the general welfare of the citizens.

Honestly, I'm sure this is why so many Republicans are on board with defunding the police.

That has been obvious.. Nothing. No Government since Regan's drowning the government in a bathtub would be a a government that was still bloated and too big. Thimble size would be too big.

However, they get confused and suddenly love government as long as it decides who can get married, where somebody can live, where the children of color can go to school, and enforcing "Christian" doctrine and prayer.

Oh, and somehow, the government also exists to give big bloated contracts to large corporations.

General welfare is a very limited term. My General Welfare and nobody else's.

One of Shrubya’s professors described him as having a typical Republican outlook. Whereas most people think the job of government is to protect citizens, Shrub believed it was primarily to protect rich people and corporations from the unwashed masses.

I remember a joke that Republicans are in favor of small government; just small enough to fit in your bedroom.
