And THIS is funny too!! Former President Donald Trump was ordered by a Manhattan Supreme Court Judge to submit to a meeting giving him instructions on how to comply with an order restricting him from using evidence in his criminal case to attack witnesses, reported the Associated Press on Thursday. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan scheduled the hybrid hearing — the former president on a TV screen, his lawyers and prosecutors in court — to go over the restrictions with Trump and to make clear that he risks being held in contempt if he violates them," reported Michael R. Sisak. "The case is continuing in state court even as Trump’s lawyers seek to have it moved to federal court. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who is considering the transfer request, issued an order this week setting paperwork deadlines and a hearing for late June." www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-protective-order/ |

He's had a lot more to say... Thoughtful, insightful.... Some of the bills, inspired by the "Christian nationalist" movement, would require public schools to erect monuments to the Ten Commandments, and allow public schools to hire chaplains in place of secular counselors.
Talarico, a former teacher and a Presbyterian seminarian, is having none of it.
It’s not just a perversion of our Constitution, it’s a perversion of my faith," said Talarico. "Jesus, when he was in the wilderness, was tempted by Satan with, among other things, political power — with all the kingdoms of the world. That should go to show us Christian nationalism is kind of an oxymoron. The idea that this universal faith, based on radical universal love, could be confined to one political subdivision is just contrary to the entire gospel. Furthermore, to use political power to hurt marginalized people — whether it’s folks from other faith traditions like Hindus and Buddhists and Muslims, or whether it’s to hurt LGBTQ people, or women seeking reproductive health care — (is) blasphemous, according to my reading of the New Testament."
Christian nationalists believe that the United States was built for Christians and should be based on Christian law — an idea completely at odds with the First Amendment's mandate of secular government, and the historical record of the founding fathers governing America secularly. The movement has sought new political power in recent years, with one group, the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, seeking to draft model legislation to help state lawmakers impose Christian nationalist law in their state.
Talarico took to the Texas House floor to condemn the Ten Commandments bill — and, he told RNS he has received an "almost universal" outpouring of support over it — from people on both sides.
"I’ve had Republicans calling my legislative office and thanking me for speaking from a Christian perspective," wrote Talarico. "In fact, I’ve been confused for a Republican by people who just see the clip and don’t know anything about me. I’ve had a lot of posts saying, 'We’re so thankful to have Republicans standing up to this thing,' and, you know, 'Glad that a Republican is finally speaking out.' So, I guess that just goes to show how unusual it is for Democrats to be speaking about faith in that kind of way."

Saturday morning chuckle..
From ABC News
“Herd of cows assist police in locating suspect who hoofed it to remote area”
Watch out, K-9 units. There’s a new animal assisting police in their crime-fighting mission.
A herd of cows helped a North Carolina police department track a suspect who fled from officers during a traffic stop on Tuesday, allowing police to locate and arrest the suspect, authorities said.
The cows literally led the officers to where the suspect was hiding,” the Boone Police Department Sergeant Dennis O’Neal wrote in an official press release. “In addition to thanking our officers and deputies for putting themselves in harm’s way; obviously, we want to express our gratitude to the cows for their assistance.”
Boone Police officers initially pulled over Joshua Minton, 34, for a traffic stop on Tuesday, May 9. Minton fled from the officers before abandoning his vehicle and running into a rural area, according to the press release.
Due to the suspect’s fast and reckless driving, our officers were not close enough to see exactly where the suspect ran,” the release said.
As officers struggled to locate Minton in the remote part of Deep Gap, North Carolina, a group of cows emerged to lead the officers to where Minton was hiding.
Apparently, cows do not want suspected criminals loitering in their pasture and quickly assisted our officers by leading them directly to where the suspect was hiding,” the Town of Boone Police Department wrote on social media. “The cows communicated with the officers as best they could and finally just had the officers follow them to the suspect’s location.”
Minton was charged with fleeing arrest with a motor vehicle, driving with a revoked license and disorderly conduct, according to police. He received a $20,000 bond and is expected back in court in late June.
Leaning into the humor of the situation in a parody press release, Boone Police expressed openness to exploring other kinds of bovine law enforcement approaches. Their release included concerns such as the cost of ballistic vests for cows and methane emissions.
“We at the Boone Police Department are always looking for better ways to serve our community. We may be a small town; but we are a progressive, forward thinking law enforcement agency. For rural law enforcement, we want to be the tip of the spear,” they wrote.”

Speaking of bright criminals. The other night in So Dakota, some christians seemingly forgot their glasses when they attacked a 'bull' and his 'goat' guardians, who were 'beheaded' with them removed. A massive statue of a bull's head in South Dakota was apparently mistaken for Satanic imagery by vandals who painted “Satan is defeated” and “Jesus is King" on the base. The owner of Porter Sculpture Park, which was once listed by TIME Magazine as one of the Top 50 American Roadside Attractions, is Wayne Porter. He says the vandals put graffiti on the bull statue, and beheaded the goat heads off of its four "guardians" standing around nearby. Porter has has said it will take several years to repair the damage, according to the local news outlet, Sioux Falls Argus Leader. www.rawstory.com/south-dakota-bull-statute-vandalized-by-people-who-mistook-it-for-satanic-imagery-report/ |

No question there is a real need for immigration reform. But you don’t use people as political weapons.

Welcome to the home of Josh Hawley and some other fools.. How about disgusting... Missouri state Rep. Barry Hovis, a Republican and a former police officer, generated outrage when he claimed during a legislative session that the brutal police beating of Rodney King that kicked off the 1991 Los Angeles riots, actually taught Black people that they should go out of their way to get assaulted by police in the hope of getting a civil payout. The speech, delivered on the final day of Missouri's legislative session and at the end of National Police Week, was flagged by the Riverfront Times. www.rawstory.com/missouri-republican-rodney-king-beating-made-people-try-to-get-beat-by-cops-in-search-of-a-payout/ |

Oh?!?! Wonder what this might mean? FBI agents raid condo unit owned by Russians at Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Jay Weaver Sat, May 13, 2023 at 9:13 AM EDT .... But on Thursday, the luxury high-rise complex drew the attention of law enforcement, namely the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A squad of FBI special agents, assisted by local police, descended on Trump Tower III at 15811 Collins Ave. to carry out a search of unit 4102. It’s owned by a shell company, MIC-USA LLC, that is controlled by two Russian businessmen, Oleg Sergeyevich Patsulya and Agunda Konstantinovna Makeeva, according to state corporation records. On Friday, a spokesman for the FBI’s Miami field office said it “was conducting court-ordered law enforcement activity in the vicinity of that location,” but provided no other information. Donald Trump licensed his name to the Trump Towers condo project in Sunny Isles Beach. Donald Trump licensed his name to the Trump Towers condo project in Sunny Isles Beach. Patsulya and Makeeva could not be reached for comment. Patsulya’s wife, Roza Pereira, who state records show is also listed on the corporate paperwork for MIC-USA, said she was aware of the FBI’s raid. “I can’t talk about it,” Pereira told the Miami Herald. “The lawyer [for my husband] said not to talk to anyone. ... I have no idea what it’s about.” Foreign buyers, especially from Latin America and Russia, flocked to Trump Towers, as they did with other Trump-branded properties in Sunny Isles Beaches. In 2020, BAC Florida Bank, which provided financing for the purchase, sued Patsulya and Makeeva, claiming they defaulted on their $975,000 mortgage. The dispute was resolved later that year, though it’s not clear how from the court records. MIC-USA, controlled by the two Russians, continued to own the 41st-floor unit at Trump Tower III. news.yahoo.com/fbi-agents-raid-condo-unit-131348539.html |

Welcome to the imaginary world of Rep James Comer and his missing informant who is in the 'spy business'... ALL very reliable? "Hold on a second, Congressman," Bartiromo said. "Did you just say that the whistleblower or the informant is now missing?" "Well, we we're hopeful that we can find the informant," Comer said, explaining the informant was in the "spy business" and "they don't make a habit of being seen a lot." "The nine of the ten people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens," he added, "they're one of three things, Maria, they're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing." www.rawstory.com/james-comer-informant/ |

Seems to me if one loses their star witness it either shows incompetence on the part of the Republicans especially when they go on tv and admit they lost their witness or the star witness was a fake and was pulling the Republican’s leg. In either case what we have now is a keystone cop majority in the House.
