David Gelles….
”SCOOP: California just sued Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips and the API over climate change.
BIG lawsuit seeking multi billion $$$ damages that is likely to bring other states off the sidelines.”
Gavin Newsom..
”NEW: CA is suing some of the world’s largest oil companies.
These companies knew about the catastrophic consequences of fossil fuels.
They covered it up. Suppressed scientific data. Spent millions to cast doubts on climate science.
Time for them to pay.”

Paxton makes threats against Biden... "The truth could not be buried by mudslinging politicians or their powerful beneficiaries," he wrote. "I've said many times: Seek the truth! And that is what was accomplished." He continued, claiming the impeachment was "coordinated" by Biden, despite fellow Republicans being at the helm of the legislature in Texas."The sham impeachment coordinated by the Biden Administration with liberal House Speaker Dade Phelan and his kangaroo court has cost taxpayers millions of dollars, disrupted the work of the Office of Attorney General and left a dark and permanent stain on the Texas House." Turning again to Biden, Paxton concluded: "Finally, I can promise the Biden Administration the following: buckle up because your lawless policies will not go unchallenged. We will not allow you to shred the constitution and infringe on the rights of Texans. You will be held accountable." www.rawstory.com/paxton-flips-out-on-biden/ |

They're all having words about WWII The account for Republicans Against Trump, a group for "pro-democracy conservatives Republicans fighting Trump & Trumpism," said, "Donald Trump is warning America that 'Cognitively impaired' Biden will lead us into 'World War Two' if re-elected. You can’t make this sh-t up." Former Republican Party chairman Michael Steele blasted the former president. "Then there is this dumb-ss," he said Saturday. "'Cognitively impaired', alright. Y’all still buying his sh-t, huh?" Former Republican media consultant Matthew Sheffield said that, "Trump gave a mumbling, slurred speech claiming he's concerned about 'cognitively impaired' presidents while also claiming he'd prevent 'World War 2.'" www.rawstory.com/trump-mental-decline-2665509240/ |

Ramaswamy has had his campaign hats made in Myanmar Not a good place!! They’re made in Myanmar, a country rife with human rights atrocities and led by a military junta. The Myanmar military has propagated torture, sexual violence and mass murders, including killing children, according to press accounts and Human Rights Watch. *** “It’s clearly one of those countries that’s sliding back on the freedom scale very much so,” said Irina Tsukerman, a foreign policy expert, human rights and national security lawyer and president of communications advisory company, Scarab Rising. “The fact that Vivek has chosen that place as opposed to another country where such issues are not really as prominent, like India or the Philippines maybe, it raises questions why. What is he willing to do for money?” Ramaswamy’s campaign acknowledged purchasing the hats, explaining that they were from one “rush order for an event.” “When this was brought to Vivek’s attention, he said we were changing it. He was not aware at all of the source, and it has been changed,” Stefan Mychajliw, deputy communications director for Ramaswamy’s campaign, told Raw Story. The “Truth. Vote Vivek.” hats are made by a company called Otto, which calls itself “America’s largest source for blank caps and custom headwear.” The caps distributed by the Ramaswamy campaign show tags that say “Made in Myanmar,” and the company’s website also shows images of tags that say “Made in China." Two Raw Story sources saw the hats in person and confirmed that the labels indicate they were made in Myanmar. “This is bottom of the barrel,” said Phil Robertson, deputy director of the Asia division for Human Rights Watch. “This is amongst one of the worst governments in the world. It is right at the top of the list of the worst human rights abusers in Asia.” www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/vivek-ramaswamy-campaign-hats-myanmar/ |

This guy is disgraceful
John R Larkinson ABC News..
”As President Biden left church, I shouted quite loudly across the cemetery, “Mr. President, will you pardon your son?!” But Biden did not visibly react or acknowledge the question.”
As Kevin M Krause pointed out …
”You "shouted quite loudly across the cemetery" WHERE HIS FIRSTBORN SON IS BURIED to ask if he would pardon his other son?
Am I getting this right?”

This from Acyn..
”DeSantis: The idea that Trump is some type of lackey for Vladimir Putin is just false. He had a very strong Russia policy. The idea that he wants to be buddy buddy with Putin, I don’t really see that”
Prompted this response from S. V. Date…
”Um…
He accepted Russian help to get elected.
He wanted to pull out of NATO.
He publicly sided with Putin over the U.S. intelligence community.
He called Putin a genius for having launched his war-crime-packed invasion.
I’m running out of characters.”
And a reminder. Mueller was specifically told not to “follow the money” in the investigation when it came to trump and Russia. Why is that I wonder.

Yet my mother, who is furious that Roe V. Wade was overturned, thinks Pence would be a good president. I've spent a lot of time lately, and we have had many conversations about politics that have gone better than I would ever have thought. But man, sometimes, I just smack my head at what she believes. |

This from Ms. Decorum (MTG)
“The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful.
Dress code is one of society’s standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions.
Stop lowering the bar!”
Prompted this from Senator Fetterman..
“Thankfully, the nation's lower chamber lives by a higher code of conduct: displaying ding-a-ling pics in public hearings.”

Oh for heaven sakes…. Gee how did we get to a place less respectful then we have ever been? Hmm maybe it’s because the right embraces the garbage coming out of trump’s mouth.
The Recount…
”Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) attacks Majority Leader Chuck Schumer loosening the Senate's informal dress code:
“It's just another step in the movement by the Democrats to 'Transform America' ... and to take us to a place that is much less respectful than we historically have been.”

The pilot of the missing F-35 was hospitalized. It’s not clear why he had to eject”.
Flightrader24….
”The US military is searching for a missing F-35B in South Carolina after the pilot ejected yesterday and the jet kept flying. If you have seen an F-35 in the woods, please contact the US Marines.

I’ve met several who seem to think Trump walks on water and cares deeply about them. They think it’s great that Trump shared nuclear se rets with the Saudis and that Kim Jung Un is misunderstood. You can’t break the mind meld of some of these people . People who were out of work for 1/2 if Trump presidency who are working fully since 2020 but it’s somehow Biden’s fault that they dudnt work from 2017-beg of 2020. You can’t fix stupid |

This from Haley Talbot…
“Speaker McCarthy: “It's hard to pass anything in this place. We started out in a five-seat majority. I got one member who's now resigned, we've got a couple of members who are out as well. Anything we do is pretty tough”
Prompted this reply…
Parker Butler…
“With ~221 seats, Democrats facilitated a historic economic recovery, passed the largest climate investment in US history, a once-in-a-generation infrastructure bill, lowered prescription drug costs, & more”
With 222 seats, McCarthy may not even be able to fund the government”
Once again the difference between the Democrats and Republicans is the Democrats want to govern and the Republicans don’t.

I don’t understand why some people have a hard time understanding this. I can’t speak for today’s GOP but this is exactly a policy a US Administration would have when it came to foreign countries and any aid we would give them. It’s like a “well duh” policy. Do you honestly think President Obama wouldn’t have notice if Biden had gone off script? Matthew Gertz.. ”John Solomon inadvertently detonated the House impeachment case. Last month, he published a State Dept. briefing memo which irrefutably proves that it was U.S. policy to seek Viktor Shokin's removal at the time Biden was pushing for it as VP.” “The right has claimed for years that when Biden told Ukraine’s leaders in December 2015 that the U.S. would not release $1 billion in loan guarantees unless they fired Shokin, the country’s prosecutor general, he was acting to benefit Hunter by halting his purported Burisma probe” ”Contemporaneous reports and testimony have long showed that this is wrong: Biden was carrying out U.S. policy, Shokin had been widely faulted by Western governments for failing to prosecute corruption, and his Burisma probe had stalled. “But the document Solomon published -- a briefing memo prepared for Biden for the trip -- confirms this. It shows Biden was prepped to urge Ukraine's leaders that reform required "removal of Prosecutor General Shokin, who is widely regarded as an obstacle to fighting corruption." “The tick-tock of how Biden came to use the particular strategy of leveraging the loan guarantee is interesting but fundamentally irrelevant: The memos show that Biden, in seeking Shokin’s firing, was acting consistent with U.S. policy rather than freelancing to help his son.” From Media Matters.. link” John Solomon inadvertently detonated the House impeachment case” |

United Nations is in session.

“ Zelensky looks on as Biden at the UN says "Russia alone bears responsibility for this war" and "Russia alone [stands] in the way of peace"
"The US together with our allies and parters around the world will continue to stand with the brave people of Ukraine, he adds to applause”
“Biden gets a big round of applause as he wraps up his speech at the UN“
The Recount…
“ When it comes to China, I want to be clear and consistent: We seek to responsibly manage the competition between our countries so it does not tip into conflict … Nowhere is that more critical than the accelerating climate crisis.”
— President Biden at the UN General Assembly”

He has a point.

“WOW! The UN audience laughs at Trump after he claims, "my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country."
”Trump lies to the UN, claims "we have started the construction of a major border wall." (Trump hasn't received a cent from Congress for it.)”
“Trump whines to the UN about how unfairly other countries allegedly treat the US when it comes to trade”
“After laughing at Trump, the UN audience remains totally silent as Trump whines about one perceived slight against the US after another”
“The UN again laughs at Trump as he attacks OPEC!”
“Trump mangles the word "expansionist." The German diplomats appear to be mocking him.”
“TRUMP: "Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and, frankly, are our friends... I have told our negotiators that the United States will not pay more than 25% of the UN Peacekeeping budget."
“Trump touts nationalism.
"We treasure our traditions. Above all, we love our country. Inside everyone in this great chamber & everyone listening all around the globe, there is the heart of a patriot that feels the same powerful love & the same intense loyalty to your homeland."
