Opinion: What the Kate photo controversy is really about

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/20/opinions/catherine-princess-wales-photo-royal-history-beers/index.html

The Brits (and the people who follows this garbage) need to get a life.  This royal family nonsense is so.... pitifully vicarious.

 

And to bring it back Statside: Until the GOP truly purges itself of the Trump disease, normal(ish) people do not stand a chance of representing it.  The tolerable republican is about as rare as the tolerable democrat these days.

US Troops on Chinese Border.  
 Now, that’s news.  
certainly fell below the radar.

Part of it is that the royals bring money to the country.

will Trump file for bankruptcy a seventh time in his life?

Only time will tell.

Why would he need to do that?  He's worth BILLYUNS!!!!!

 

It's interesting (or maybe not....funny...that's the word I am looking for) that 30 different companies rejected his inquiry about them covering his bond.  Why oh WHY would they be concerned about doing business with him?  They could stand to make a cool $10M off the deal.

 

I guess they could also be out almost half a billion dollars, so there's that.

All 30 are part of the deep state.  It's a conspiracy.

It also applies to the Democrats who have become radical like AOC and Omar.

Next level invasion tactics.

Squatters Rights you now.  Absolute hell getting them out.

This was so avoidable. 
Enforce our border.  No brainer.

Interesting reading if you search Venezuela.  Their jobs, economy, and leadership are all in the dumper.
Then corrupt Maduro is up for re-election.  The oil industry collapsed and in general it’s all corrupt and in the toilet.  
Mexico and Venezuela are in worker negotiations and some conflict. 

Also,  Mexico is to Offer Venezuelans Jobs, a $660 Stipend to Return Home. 
Just what do they expect here. It’s hardly the land of milk and honey.  Our economy isn’t exactly stellar.  
Since the start of this 2.6 million Venezuelans have left and come North.  
And where’s that border Czar, btw??

Even though he has already locked up the nomination and she has dropped out, Haley is still polling in the 15-20% range within the recent primaries. 

OH: Haley 15%

IL: 14%

KS: 16%

AZ: 19%

FL: 14%

It seems like there is roughly that percentage of the Republican Party that are 'never Trumpers' and I would bet might not run home to the party to vote for him in November. If that's the case, that'll be an issue considering he captured 94% of the party in 2020 and still lost. 

Then how do you explain the general election polls? Many of these voters will vote for Trump, some like you will vote for Biden, some will go third party, and many will go home. Independents, Blacks, Hispanics and other low propensity voters are flocking to Trump as you go further down the Matt Drudge apostacy rabbit hole.

The train wreck continues:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced that she filed a motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after the House passed a budget bill that angered some Republicans.

Your “guvmint” in action. 
I could use a cool $1.2 mil for a few improvements. Sure. Gotta check out that DEI zoo

Joe Biden just signed the $1.2 trillion spending bill that Congress sent his way. What’s in it?
- Schumer’s spending $1.5 million to encourage kids to play video games
- Tammy Baldwin’s spending $2 million to give migrants therapy
- Liz Warren’s spending $1 million to amplify Latinx small businesses
- Fetterman’s giving nearly $400k of your money to podcasters
- This is on top of what Primetime found in the bill last week: cash for gay retirement homes, Egyptian tuition, tuckems for kids, a DEI zoo and trans elementary school curriculum

You could go through ANY spending bill going back at least the last 30+ years and find stupid stuff in there.

Pork Barrel spending at it finest

[Chewbacca Defense]

Just watching a discussion on all of the issues/resignations within the Republican Party right now, and one of the people said "the Republican Party is so dysfunctional right now they wouldn't even be able to name a Post Office after Donald Trump"

 

So true....

I think if the republicans could grow some stones and kick MTG to the curb, they would be a lot better off.  Goetz has enough problems on his own, I don't see him rocking the boat too much if MTG is gone.

How true.  
To expect any of them to be accountable for their “management” of budgets might be far too taxing.

Riley Gaines is everywhere these days. And unlike left wing icons like Mayor Pete or Dylan Mulvaney, she isn't bad looking. Though she looks too much like my ex-wife for comfort.

I’m all for alternative energy.  I co built and operated a chemical recycling plant.  However…… building a solar farm in Hail Country somehow rings of Washington DC.  
Ask any Texan

Hail took out a Tx solar farm.

You sure are obsessed about looks.  You and trump are like 2 peas in a pod. 

Soon you'll be talking about how attractive your own daughter is.

Looks matter. If you think they don’t you are probably ugly.
