  1. Looks pretty easy to humble me — except for those leaps w/ splits ‘n spins. Yeah, I could do those leaps ‘n splits, but just not enough room in the humble hut. Outside? This is Dixie county, Florida and I’m not about to do it outside. Maybe next time I’m in Gainesville…

  2. Question of the day:

    “Why the hell should anyone pay taxes again after the criminal way our government has stolen from us to fund Democrat campaigns and gun control?…”

    + Bonus quote:
    “According to the Columbia Journalism Review, USAID supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news outlets and 279 media sector civil society organizations in 30 different countries.

    “No wonder the news all sounds the same.”

  3. Jeez – this is going to upset DEMs ‘n their MSM activist puppets. “STATE MEDIA?” – Too funny!

    1) Fox News Adds Lara Trump as Host

    Daughter-in-law to President Donald Trump and former RNC Chair, Lara Trump, is joining Fox News — where she will host a Saturday evening show.

    “My View with Lara Trump,” expected to air on Saturdays at 9 p.m. Eastern, will include a mix of analysis and interviews with influential figures. The network is describing the show as focused on “the return of common sense to all corners of American life,” echoing a phrase, “common sense,” that the Trump administration has frequently deployed.

    2) ‘Stop Licking His Ass!’ Zelensky Accuses Tucker Carlson of ‘Working for Putin’

    3) ‘Trump peace plan for Ukraine’ is ‘leaked’: Talks with Putin, ceasefire by Easter and an end to Zelensky’s NATO dream among details in report – Trump is scared of anyone more powerful…if true, then he’ll give Ukraine to Putin on a golden platter, and help Russia rebuild their military – basically a disaster for America if true…

    US president Donald Trump will try to force Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to agree to a ceasefire with Russia by Easter under a peace plan, according to a report.

    …will include a ceasefire by April 20 that would freeze Russia’s steady advance, a ban on Ukraine from joining NATO, and a demand for Kyiv to accept Russian sovereignty on annexed land.

    On top of this, Ukrainian troops will be made to leave Russia’s Kursk region, where it launched a counteroffensive in August, while a contingent of European soldiers, which could include British troops, would be asked to police a demilitarised zone. American troops will not be involved in this contingent.

  4. If you haven’t seen it, here’s Trump signing the protection of women’s sports. How anyone who watches this as he tells the Secret Service that having a bunch of young girls around him is not a problem as he signs and not get a smile is beyond hope. Of course that will happen with the evil 40%, though I haven’t heard them squawk about this one so far. I spent some 20 years watching my 2 daughters as athletes (4 years old through college, and still playing in adult leagues), so this hits home for me.

  5. This is what happens when you’re drunk with power, think you’ve got EVERYTHING figured out and are thoroughly convinced that you’ll never get caught (since your elaborate, sophisticated, convoluted plot is just too, too ingenious to ever be unraveled)….

    “Shellenberger: USAID Paid for Trump Impeachment Effort”—

    File under: “Don’t do stupid shit”…

  6. The Democrats of the Senate Judiciary Committee have invoked a rule which allows them to stall the vote on Kashyap Patel (due today under regular procedures) for another seven days. It won’t suffice.

    psssst — whispers behind upraised hand: Babe Ruth and Ronald Reagan were also born this day. Cheers.

  7. So you were wondering about the modus operandi of “The USAID Times”?
    (Or should that be, “The USAID Post”? “USAID Today”? Etc…)

    Key graf:
    “…The NYTimes’ primary function isn’t journalism. It’s narrative coordination—setting the frame so the entire political-media machine knows how to think about an issue before it takes off.…”

    Otherwise known as Barack Obama’s most amazing, most splendiferous, most effective standup routine…EVUH!
