While Boebert’s problems may simply stem from a mishearing of “All hands on deck!”, Vince Fong, long expected to replace McCarthy, really can’t seem to explain why he registered to be a candidate for two offices in California, which has a one-per-customer rule. Eeew. He insists on asking voters to do something unnatural.

I know this was about her lack of answer on slavery, but I have to point out her answer about personal freedom flew in the face of her party’s stance on women being forced to carry every and all pregnacies to term.

And yet, it appears the judicial system is just fine with this. The cases are dragging on repeated challenges coming from the defendant, who is allowed, apparently, to threaten or give permission to minions to threaten, all the judicial employees.
Every gag order has been made narrower and narrower with every challenge. TIFG is still out there, speaking the gibberish he’s known for, without repercussions or penalty.
We have another year or so of this - he won’t be silenced when he loses in November, trust me on this.

Ken Buck was my congresscritter. I can’t imagine having Boebert replace him–he was bad enough. Please FSM, don’t be so cruel! (My district includes large sections of Weld County, where I used to live; it’s not out of the question that she’d win.)

Exactly. The NYT article about this is terrible. Fortunately, I’d read about this elsewhere before going to the Times last night, and that’s why I was able to cobble together a narrative out of the Times story which, as usual for the NYT, presented the story that ignored the order in which things happened and were said, leaving it to the reader to guess at a narrative arc.
Then there was this: “Notably missing from her answer was slavery, which most mainstream historians agree was at the root of the United States’ bloodiest conflict — specifically the economics and political control behind slavery.” Emphasis mine. Name me one “mainstream historian,” NYT, who would not agree that slavery was the root cause of the CW.

Always remember and never forget:
South of the Mason-Dixon line, the Civil War is known throughout the area as the ‘War of Northern Aggression’.

The odd part is she was campaigning in New Hampshire - I’d’ve expected this just about anywhere else. Truly astounding.

The first Civil War was about holding black people in bondage…
The second will be about holding women in bondage.

Prediction: if there are already mass street protests in the capitol, less than 1 month after his inauguration, and he’s lost the unions, this fascist clown will be gone in less than 2 years.
Wrong. “Getting away with it” would only be accurate if no MSM outlet was covering this gaffe. On the evidence, the converse is happening:
and the Biden WH has already pounced:

Amusing … Or No?
News accounts of Nikki Haley’s remarks awkwardly shoehorned in the basic fact-check that, yes, the Civil War was fought over slavery:
Well, I can see that quite a few school libraries are going to have to ban any books that peg the cause of the Civil War as rooted in the slavery issue. Maybe Oklahoma can kick that snowball down the hill.

Will Biden’s response get the same level of coverage as the Haley statement?
Stay tuned.

Megan McArdle has been wrong about pretty much everything she has ever written about. She’s the one who told us for years what a disaster Obamacare was going to be. I’m not aware that she ever apologized for that one.
Why she gets valuable real estate on the WaPo Op-Ed page has always been a mystery to me.
