Even when I was a Trump supporter I didn't have much time for this under achieving trust fund kid. Like DJT, Don Jr continues to say and do things that damage the GOP.
(2) Former President Trump has lost the support of many Americans, esp. where LEOs and military are concerned.
He did not have their back on 1/6. He, like all of us, knew that political violence was likely that day, and he did absolutely nothing to try to prevent or reduce it.
(3) Tucker's comments about women in the military were monumentally stupid. Women are allowed to enlist and, as such, their uniforms should fit properly, especially life-saving body armor. Most military personnel are not in combat zones most, let alone all of the time.
(4) If a woman deploys and then learns she is pregnant, that is something that her commanding officer will take into account in decision-making. She's entitled to things like maternity clothing. It might take months before she can return home, for example.

(1) Actor Stacey Dash spoke to the Daily Mail & as per usual the far left are calling her the Devil incarnate no matter what she says, & the far right (aka the Trump faction of the GOP) don't like her now, either.
(1) After decades of studying & working in politics, I finally realized it's better to have a leader who is a team player than someone who goes it alone.
That's essentially what Trump did, esp. during the 2020-2021 transition. He took advice from the wrong people.
Using a (very) well known Nazi symbol as the literal stage design at a conference is not just about antisemitism.
Many groups were brutally attacked by the Third Reich.
(3) The MAGA talking points about Nazism always incl. mention of the Jewish people, which is good, but then they claim no one in their mvt could be antisemitic bc MAGA policies have been so good for the Jewish ppl.
(Those MAGA policies were a big part of why I was once MAGA.)
(2) Abbott said: "By next Wednesday, about 7 million shots will have been administered in Texas and over half of seniors in Texas will have received a vaccine shot. By the end of March, every senior who wants a vaccine should be able to get one."
(3) And "The vaccine supply continues to increase so rapidly that more and more Texans will soon be eligible to receive a vaccine."
IMO it is foolish for a governor to send a message that life can return to normal because mitigation factors "should be" effective for all.
(1) Dear old Prince Philip is still in hospital, & has been moved to a specialist heart hospital after 13 days in the more "general" King Edward VII's hospital. They say he doesn't have Covid, so that's something. I love this man; Father of the nation.
(2) Prince Philip was born on June 10, 1921. So, there is a big birthday coming up. The Queen can't visit him in hospital bc of the pandemic. They've both been vaccinated but aren't taking any risks. I can understand that.
It's a miracle he has lived this long. We're grateful.
(3) The royal household hasn't been very forthcoming about the nature of the prince's condition. He is being treated for an infection and is said to be feeling much better. He had cardiac stents placed in 2011. I think it's good that he's now in the heart hospital.
