Keleigh Sperry is married to Miles Teller aka as Rooster from Maverick.
She is also “besties” with Taylor Swift. And I just saw her and her husband are going to be at the Super Bowl to party with Tay if she makes it back from wherever.
It occurred to me that if I had a chance to meet either Tay or Miles it would be Miles because along with Glen Powell aka Hangman I thought they were the best part of Top Gun Maverick.

”Let’s talk about the REAL border crisis. Hear me out…
Would it surprise you to know that 90% of people that try to cross our border end up in the hands of Customs and Border Protection? There is no open border flood of undocumented immigrants crossing into the U.S.
📌 Many turn themselves in to CBP because they want to go through the system.
📌 Last year 2.6M people ended up in the hands of CBP.
📌 850K people left the US voluntarily or were deported.
📌 Less than 3K immigrants got relief after the process.
🚨THE REAL CRISIS🚨
There’s a backlog of >1.5M people because Congress has not approved funding to process them. Plainly put: That’s less than 3K immigrants out of 2.6M.
The crisis is of Congress’s own making because Republicans are holding up the funding!”

Last one for now... “Shokin’s inaction prompted international calls for his ouster and ultimately resulted in his removal by Ukraine’s parliament,” USA Today reported in 2019. “Without pressure from Joe Biden, European diplomats, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations, Shokin would not have been fired, said Daria Kaleniuk, co-founder and executive director of the Anti Corruption Action Centre in Kiev.”“At one point, Biden withheld $1 billion in aid to Ukraine to pressure the government to remove Shokin from the Prosecutor General’s Office,” the paper adds. “Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin’s ouster, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency set up in 2014 that has worked closely with the FBI.”U.S. Rep. Jason Smith, Republican of Missouri, told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that President Joe Biden “could be compromised.” “Have you seen evidence,” MacCallum asked Smith, “that shows a link to money from these contracts that Hunter Biden had, that that money helped to support the lifestyle of President Biden? Have you seen that connection?” Instead of answering the question, Congressman Smith said, “You know one thing people’s not talking about, what we have seen is his video statement in Ukraine, saying that they needed to remove the federal prosecutor that was investigating the Burismo which is the company that his son was sitting on the board getting paid over two million dollars to be sitting on it, and he brags about the gentleman being fired –” Smith said, wrongly naming Burisma. Before he could finish MacCallum interjected, saying, “Yeah, everybody has seen that one,” referring to the video. “That right there is enough in itself to say, something is not right,” Smith concluded. “Alright, we will see where this goes. Representative Smith, thank you,” MacCallum said. Former Lincoln Project executive director Fred Wellman called Smith’s remarks, “Complete bullshit.” “Dozens of countries were pushing to get the deeply corrupt Shokin fired and the Republicans are now using him as a witness. That’s before we talk about all of that happened before he was President. These clowns have nothing.”www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2023/09/everybody-has-seen-that-fox-news-host-smacks-down-republican-pushing-biden-burismo-video-people-not-talking-about/ [/quote] |

Welcome to Nikki Haley's 'not a racial problem here' world... Utah Gov. Spencer Cox was on the receiving end of backlash after he made a post on social media celebrating Black History Month just two days after signing a bill to ban diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs across the state, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.In a post to his official account, Cox wrote: “We honor the resilience, courage and contributions African Americans have made to our state and nation. We celebrate Black communities and remain committed to improving access to opportunity.” But in the comment thread beneath the post, people slammed the governor for what they say are his contradictory stances. “The gall you have to have to post this today,” one person wrote. “How are you not completely mortified by the anti-Black legislation you just signed a few days ago? That will be your legacy,” another added.According to the Tribune, the number of comments criticizing the governor were far greater than comments from his supporters. Cox has made no secret of his desire to dismantle DEI programs in the state's educational and governmental institutions. From the Tribune: "Starting in July, public schools will be required to remove references to diversity from their offices and open programs to all individuals, rather than support a specific underserved race." www.rawstory.com/utah-governor-black-history/ |

Such happy Republicans ..... NOT! Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) appeared to suggest migrants should be extrajudicially murdered in a social media post on Thursday.Collins made the post on X in response to another post by Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-NY), who was reacting to a Fox News clip of an arrested immigrant in a Lakers jersey, giving a double middle-finger salute to the cameras as he was being led away. We feel the same way about you," wrote D'Esposito. "Holla at the cartels and have them escort you back." "Or we could buy him a ticket on Pinochet Air for a free helicopter ride back," replied Collins.
Collins is referring to right-wing Chilean strongman Augusto Pinochet, who seized the country in a 1973 coup and became infamous for his government's so-called "death flights," where civilians kidnapped by the armed forces were thrown out of helicopters into the Pacific Ocean.www.rawstory.com/republican-lawmaker-helicopters/ |

Biden does not have the ability to fix immigration with executive actions. Both Trump and Mike Johnson acknowledged this, despite what they’re saying now. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/01/opinion/america-immigration-asylum.htmlImmigration is an almost impossibly complex subject, but when you peel back the layers of the onion, you get to a core truth: America’s broken asylum system is the most important legal and political factor in the immigration debate, and only Congress can fix it. Federal law requires detaining asylum applicants while their applications are pending, but as the Supreme Court recently observed, Congress has never provided sufficient funds to build the necessary detention capacity. In other words, Congress has not provided the executive branch with the funds necessary to comply with the laws that Congress has passed. Absent sufficient detention facilities, the government’s options narrow considerably. It can’t simply expel asylum seekers while their claims are pending, so hundreds of thousands are simply paroled into the interior of the country. The system is so backlogged that asylum seekers with pending claims can stay in the country for years. And even if they ultimately lose their claims, they’re typically given low priority for deportation if they haven’t broken the law. This has led many Republicans to argue that there is no need for a legislative deal at all. Biden could simply reimpose the Migrant Protection Protocols and vastly improve the situation at the border. But that’s a deeply problematic argument. Remain in Mexico could never be a permanent solution. For starters, Mexico has already said it won’t agree to reinstate the policy. And that’s before we even address the question of whether the policy is legal. The Ninth Circuit said it violated federal law, and the Supreme Court hasn’t settled the dispute. It’s time for reasonable Americans — including reasonable Republicans — to summon up sufficient courage to defy the radicals, bigots and political cynics. Congress has before it an exceptional opportunity to ease the crisis on the border and start reforming the immigration system to be more rational and humane. MAGA hates the immigration compromise, but MAGA doesn’t run America. It’s time for the adults to take charge. Address the crisis on the border. Address the crisis in Ukraine. Pass the bill. |

Pretty sure all that come to California can now get Medi-cal. 3k sounds like almost nothing. I would love to see more real numbers and more information about where they go and what support they are given. So many make it sound like they are given the world when I’m sure it’s not even close to what people are being led to believe. I just don’t understand it’s such an emergency but yet let’s put it off for at least a year. Then if TFG is re-elected he is going to deport them all on day one or put them in camps. On day one. I’m worried that US citizens will accidentally be deported somewhere with the rush to evict everyone. The green card system needs to be revamped. We need more workers than the number that get the cards but the number of cards hasn’t been increased to handle it. We aren’t going to tend the fields so update the numbers. There has to be a better system for seasonal workers. Let’s fix the problems. Close the loop holes they keep complaining about. We will never completely fix it but the longer it goes in the harder it’s going to be. We have to at least try to make it better. |

Surprise, surprise, surprise the FBI missed a locked closet and a hidden room when searched MAL!! Special counsel Jack Smith's team has questioned several witnesses about a closet and a so-called "hidden room" inside former President Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago that the FBI didn't check while searching the estate in August 2022, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. As described to ABC News, the line of questioning in several interviews ahead of Trump's indictment last year on classified document charges suggests that -- long after the FBI seized dozens of boxes and more than 100 documents marked classified from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate -- Smith's team was trying to determine if there might still be more classified documents there. MORE: Attorney warned Trump 'it's going to be a crime' if he didn't comply with subpoena for classified docs: Sources According to sources, some investigators involved in the case came to later believe that the closet, which was locked on the day of the search, should have been opened and checked. As investigators would later learn, Trump allegedly had the closet's lock changed while his attorney was in Mar-a-Lago's basement, searching for classified documents in a storage room that he was told would have all such documents. Trump's alleged efforts to conceal classified documents from both the FBI and his own attorney are a key part of Smith's indictment against Trump in Florida. Jordan Strauss, a former federal prosecutor and former national security official in the Justice Department, called the FBI's alleged failure to search the closet "a bit astonishing." "You're searching a former president's house. You [should] get it right the first time," Strauss told ABC News.

The Republican false narrative that Biden already has the authority to fix border problems is the complete opposite of what many of them said as recently as a year ago. They are just looking for excuses and trying to cover-up for the House Republicans' reversal on the immigration bill and refusal to even bring it to the floor. With this talking point and the unwarranted impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, they are covering for their own dysfunction, incompetence and allegiance to Trump. And trying to pin border security back on President Biden for their own political gains. Even moderate Republicans have called out the MAGA Republicans for their refusal to pass the immigration bill that 4 months ago they insisted was necessary in order to pass aid for Ukraine. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/31/gop-says-no-need-new-immigration-laws-thats-not-what-it-used-say/Republicans are sandwiched between what many of their Senate GOP colleagues say is a critical opportunity to pass conservative border legislation and the political wishes of a former president who seems to view the crisis as a boon to his 2024 campaign.
And increasingly, they’ve landed on a talking point: We don’t really even need new laws.
This argument would have been news to some of these same Republicans just a few years or even months ago. Many saw a border “crisis” even under Trump’s leadership — and the need for laws to address it.
“I will continue to work tirelessly in Congress to convince my Democratic colleagues that we have a serious crisis on the border, and that they need to work with Republicans and take action now,” Cruz said in a July 2019 Fox News op-ed.
Cruz said of Congress not acting: “It’s irresponsible, it’s unjust and it’s heartless to ignore this ongoing crisis.”
Trump, too, saw legislation as a necessity back then — his own powers apparently insufficient to stem the tide.
“The only long-term solution to the crisis, and the only way to ensure the endurance of our nation as a sovereign country, is for Congress to overcome open-borders obstruction,” he said in November 2018.
In July 2019, Trump pointed to some of the specific types of legislation Senate negotiators are working on now: changing asylum laws, which Trump labeled “archaic.”
“What the Democrats should be doing now is they should be changing the loopholes,” he said. “They should be changing asylum.”
“Most importantly, Democrats must change our immigration laws right now,” he said in April 2019.
Rubio, too, has repeatedly spotlighted the need for Congress to change asylum laws — including as recently as early 2023.
“We’ve got to redo our asylum laws,” he said. “They’re being abused.”
He added in May: “We have to change the criteria for asylum.”
Johnson’s commentary on this has been a little more nuanced. While at some points he has flatly suggested that we don’t need new laws, at other points he has simply indicated that President Biden can do a lot via executive action and that Biden’s failure to do so demonstrates a lack of good faith or actual desire.
But Johnson has also said repeatedly in the past that Congress has a major role to play — even a singular one.
In 2018 and 2019, he responded to the border “crisis” during Trump’s presidency by calling for Congress to close “loopholes.” He introduced legislation to overhaul the asylum process, which he labeled a “critical step.”
In February 2023, Johnson stated flatly that “our immigration system is broken. Reforming that system is a job for Congress.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) offered similar comments in 2019 during Trump’s tenure.
“This is a broken system that needs to be fixed,” Scalise said then. “It takes congressional action; you need to change the law.”
The new talking point is part of a two-pronged effort to focus on the Biden administration’s handling of existing immigration laws rather than legislation.
The situation on the border is certainly worse today than it was at any point in Trump’s presidency. But if even Trump’s presidency included a crisis that required Congress to pass new laws, it’s difficult to argue that all we need now is a president with the will to sign some executive orders. (It’s also worth noting that many of Trump’s orders were struck down by the courts.)
And if the asylum process was badly broken then and in need of a legislative overhaul, you can’t really argue today — with no major asylum changes since then — that laws aren’t needed to address it. Perhaps that wouldn’t solve all of the problem, and maybe there’s a role for executive actions.
But the argument suddenly is that laws aren’t needed. You’d be forgiven for thinking it was an excuse to justify capitulation to Trump, who has urged the GOP to reject anything but a hard-line bill passed by the House, which has no prospect in the Democratic-controlled Senate.www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/01/gop-blunders-nihilism/Making matters worse, House and Senate Republicans’ objection to a massive funding bill to secure the border — to make Mayorkas’s job easier — only underscores their cynical disinterest in actually securing the border. Even for some Republicans, this is a bridge too far. “I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said last week. “It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for President Trump to win.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) denounced Republicans’ obstructionism as well. “The border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and Congress people that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem — because he wants to blame Biden for it — is really appalling,” Romney said. “The American people are suffering as a result of what’s happening at the border. And someone running for president ought to try and get the problem solved, as opposed to saying, ‘Hey, save that problem! Don’t solve it! Let me take credit for solving it later.’”
Put differently, Republicans’ brazen objection to arguably the most serious border funding measure in decades makes both their Mayorkas impeachment and caterwauling about the border look absurdly cynical, even for them.

More on the MAL FBI search.. Note the TFG holdover, did not want the search to happen at all!! And how do we KNOW he didn't tip off TFG?? All the more reason to choose carefully in November! It got former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann thinking that there just might be a new cooperating witness on the table."The reports that the FBI missed a 'hidden' room at MAL makes me wonder how the FBI now knows that," the expert wrote Thursday. "Sounds like an insider has tipped the FBI off to that. Ie another cooperating witness." Norm Ornstein, emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, chimed in that it "also sounds like another embarrassing lapse by the FBI-- which did not want to search MAL in the first place.""Yet more for the FBI Director to answer for," he added. Former prosecutor Shanlon Wu noted that the search warrant that allowed the search, also allowed the FBI to conduct a search of the locked closet. The legal expert also clarified that the search happened "BEFORE Jack Smith was appointed to lead the investigation." Allison Gill, who worked for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, also added some clarification on the issue of the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search. "Keep in mind. FBI Trump holdover D’Antuono initially blocked the search of Mar a Lago, then finally relented to DoJ prosecutors," she wrote. "Then he wanted to alert Trump to the search. Then he agreed but not if the FBI wore their uniforms. I’m not surprised the FBI 'missed' some rooms."www.rawstory.com/trump-experts-mar-a-lago-cooperating-witness/ |

If the $50 million in legal fees for Trump wasn't enough, look at these frivolous expenses. And Melania was out of the public eye for most of 2023. On top of that, the GOP's fundraising for 2023 was abysmal How is this legal? I thought there were strict laws regarding what this money could be spent on. What a joke this has become. |
