November 14, 2024: Rep Abigail Spanberger: As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. Not only is she ill-prepared and unqualified, but she traffics in conspiracy theories and cozies up to dictators like Bashar-al Assad and Vladimir Putin. As a Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am deeply concerned about what this nomination portends for our national security. My Republican colleagues with a backbone should speak out.

Rep. Gallagher's early resignation shrinks already thin House Republican majority
(WLUK) -- Northeast Wisconsin is reacting following 8th District Congressman Mike Gallagher's decision to leave his position earlier than originally thought. Gallagher says he'll be ending his time as an elected representative on April 19. The announcement comes less than two months after Gallagher announced he would not seek re-election. That means a portion of Northeast Wisconsin will be without representation in the House until next year.

Wayne Allyn Root and Kari Lake push conspiracy theory that opponent’s campaign is funded by “the Mexican drug cartel”
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root claimed during an interview with Arizona Republican Senate nominee Kari Lake that opponent Ruben Gallego’s campaign is getting “their money” from Mexican cartels through his estranged father. Lake replied: “Yep, absolutely. The cartels are in operational control here in Arizona.” The conspiracy theory is false. After Lake made similar remarks on Newsmax with right-wing host Greg Kelly last month, PolitiFact examined the claims and wrote: “Gallego’s father has been largely absent from Gallego’s life since Gallego was in junior high school and his parents divorced” and “there’s no evidence that Gallego has ‘links to the cartel’ because of his father’s criminal history. Lake’s campaign provided no evidence to support that claim.” (Media Matters 10/23/24) READ MORE>>>>>

9.2% and 30.4%. When the election is over, these are the numbers most likely to drive a stake into the heart of the Kari Lake machine.

The most profound and deeply damaging impacts of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society were the destruction of the family and crippling of the poor.--Newt Gingrich Twitter 11/9/23
Gingrich is, of course, wrong, and almost appears he is beinbg purposel racist: Historian Alan Brinkley has suggested that the most important domestic achievement of the Great Society may have been its success in translating some of the demands of the civil rights movement into law. Four civil rights acts were passed, including three laws in the first two years of Johnson's presidency. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbade job discrimination and the segregation of public accommodations.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 assured minority registration and voting. It suspended use of literacy or other voter-qualification tests that had sometimes served to keep African-Americans off voting lists and provided for federal court lawsuits to stop discriminatory poll taxes. It also reinforced the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by authorizing the appointment of federal voting examiners in areas that did not meet voter-participation requirements. The Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965 abolished the national-origin quotas in immigration law. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 banned housing discrimination and extended constitutional protections to Native Americans on reservations.
He put that tweet as the lead his article article but took no time to explain what he meant by it. I have no reason to believe it's true. Based on his inability to explain his opinion (or lack of) I have to rate it a lie. I believe his deeply racist attitude is exposed. He should ask his friends about it at his next Klan meeting.

November 6, 2023:
Former GOP House speaker Newt Gingrich said this week that "the Democratic Party is rapidly developing a pro-terrorist wing. When the Vice President’s step daughter raises $8 million for a terrorist organization there is something sick going on. When the Vice President responds to a nearly 400% increase in anti-semitism by talking about Islamophobia there is absolute pro-terrorist bias." What he is purposely ignoring is that Vice President Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, has been actively soliciting funds for Gaza NOT Hamas and aimed at providing immediate assistance to the children in Gaza. The fundraiser has already gathered over $7.8 million in contributions and is managed by the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. The PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine that delivers medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed. The main objective of the PCRF is to locate in the United States and Europe free medical care for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East.
In 1990 GOPAC distributed a memo with a cover letter signed by Gingrich titled "Language, a Key Mechanism of Control", that encouraged Republicans to "speak like Newt". It contained lists of "contrasting words"—words with negative connotations such as "radical", "sick," and "traitors"—and "optimistic positive governing words" such as "opportunity", "courage", and "principled", that Gingrich recommended for use in describing Democrats and Republicans, respectively. So that's a little background info that jump started them to where we are now. Their obtuseness is done on purpose.

Broke Rudy Giuliani Must Cough Up $148 Million for Defaming Poll Workers
A federal jury on Friday determined that Rudy Giuliani, who’d already been found liable for defaming a pair of Georgia poll workers after the 2020 election, must fork over $148 million in damages to the women, who gave emotional testimony about how Giuliani’s lies made their lives hell. Giuliani, 79, pulled out of testifying as planned at the last second Thursday, leaving it up to his attorney, Joe Sibley, to do his bidding. He was photographed smiling as he walked into court Friday, holding a disposable Starbucks cup.

Hateful speech encourages hateful thoughts, which lead to hateful goals of individuals; those, in turn, lead to hateful actions and sometimes violence, resulting in harm to the public. No court would seriously entertain an argument that schools must teach hateful speech on the grounds of academic equality or fairness when it so clearly is antithetical to our values. Hate speech has no role in our society and contributes little or nothing to the free-flowing marketplace of ideas that is essential to protect in a school environment.
