Katie Britt has arisen from deep, prayerful reflection on her disaster of a SOTU response to double down on the lie that she didn’t lie about the sexual abuse she called out (the account of the abuse she heard was real, but the abuse itself happened in Mexico during the GWB administration, not during the …
Look Up! It’s a Bird, it’s a Plane, it’s a Turd!
I figure it’s about time for a 737-MAX update. First, if you haven’t seen it, John Oliver’s Boeing dissection from last week is a tour-de-force and worth a watch.

Once in a while someone surprises you, and I’m certainly surprised by this, from Dean Phillips: In 2011, I hosted then VP Biden at my home. Most notable was his empathy and kindness to my daughters and the catering staff, with whom he sat and had ice cream (surprise-surprise). His decency and wisdom were rarities …
You Told A Lie
A couple of Trumpworld items: First, though it was eclipsed by the Supreme Court ruling this morning, Allen Weisselberg, Trump’s wartime CFO, pled guilty to perjury this morning and got a five-month sentence. I assume his lips had to be surgically removed from Trump’s anus before he could plead, because you gotta be a brown-noser …
Sorry, Another Boebert Kid Update
Eighteen and horrible: The felony charges that Representative Lauren Boebert’s eighteen-year-old son, Tyler, got hit with on Tuesday, February 27, stem from a series of car thefts in Rifle, where he and some underage friends robbed several people, including a woman with a brain tumor who said she had just $75 “left to her name,” according to …
