At first I thought Gov. DeSantis was pursuing a smart primary strategy. However, he is making a politically fatal error. The one thing that no U.S. voters will do is vote for a candidate that won’t defend themselves! Gov. DeSantis’ candidacy is doomed if he doesn’t directly confront Mr. Trump.

Interesting interview this weekend in which John Dean speculates that Bragg was asked to delay his indictment until another one drops. I’m ok with that as long as IT HAPPENS SOON.

Rolling Fork, MS is in the Mississippi Delta. Mostly poor folks there. Saw a video by a storm chaser close to it. It was big.

Maybe DeSantis thinks, for some reason, that Trump is not going to be running for anything pretty soon, and he’ll have a chance if he plays his cards right.

At one point, he held his hand over his heart as a video of the January 6 insurrection played in the background;

Would sure be nice if Republican congresspeople were asked about this and not allowed to escape with claims of being busy or not hearing about it or losing their glasses! Because this is chilling, dangerous, anti-American stuff, and it needs to be taken seriously. Indictments soon pls.

France, and now Israel and Germany. I’m jealous at those countries’ ability to actually stage widespread protests and demonstrations against bullshit.

That is exactly what he thinks (or at least, certainly hopes). He is showing himself to be a true bully, i.e., a coward.

With Trump out of the way, everyone will readjust to the new reality.

Bibi Netanyahu wants to get the crowds off the streets by proposing a freeze on this judicial legislation and the crowds need to keep the pressure going until Bibi resigns.

This does make me wonder if Bibi is experiencing the Trump Curse. There is more to the Trump and Netanyahu connection than we know about. During the 2016 election it was not only Russia helping Trump out, but Bibi had a hand in it too. I have a link to an article from The Nation and it is scary. This is the last paragraph to the article:

"The evidence, however, suggests that throughout the summer and into the fall of 2016, Israel illegally interfered in the US presidential election. A top agent of Netanyahu was secretly offering intelligence and other covert assistance to Trump to get him elected—all with virtually no oversight or scrutiny by the FBI or the US media, though both had numerous personnel in Israel at the time. Now Netanyahu is back in office as prime minister, and Trump is once again running for president. All the ingredients are there for history to repeat itself, unless the Justice Department and Congress conduct long-overdue investigations into the real source of secret foreign collaboration and interference in the 2016 election, and both the FBI and the media remove their self-imposed blinders when it comes to Israel."

Hillary Clinton sure does know how to make the good ole’ boys hate her.

They were expecting 15,000-20,000.

They got around 2,500.

Look at all the space they had cordoned off. Look how it remains unfilled. Just like his inauguration:
