These are the issues Republicans should be dying on a hill for.
What was the biggest Republican opposition to Trump?
He might end foreign interventions.
He might end or severely curtail immigration.
They allowed people like Sasse and Cheney to openly oppose Trump on the most important issues of our day inside of some rally cry to protect “conservatism”.
Even today their opposition to Trump, including Mitch McConnell himself, is that Trump won’t just co-sign election fraud.
Because to “not accept the results of the election” is antithetical to “conservative” values.
But don’t worry. They will ensure that transgender women don’t compete in girls sports.
I’m simply saying that their priorities make no sense.
What do we see from Democrats? With the slimmest of Senate majorities, 50 + 1, they are using reconciliation TWICE IN ONE YEAR in order to get everything they can.
All we wanted was funding for a fucking wall. Relatively cheep. Chump change.
We had wide majorities.
Nothing.
The voters couldn’t have been more clear.
BUILD THAT WALL!
Effectively it was “JUST BUILD THE FUCKING WALL ALREADY JFC!!!”
But Republicans, “conservatives”, were like that’s not nice. That’s not culturally appropriate. To do that we need Democrats to give us their approval.
No concern AT ALL for the impact that unfettered illegal immigration has on our culture.
So forgive me if I’m insufficiente worried about a transgender invasion or the implications of a fucking federal holiday.
Imo I care about what matters.
And to use a football or sports analogy it’s like worrying about compiling more passing yards instead of the fact that you are down by 30 in the fourth.
Passing yards isn’t everything.
Maybe get an Oline and a running back and pick up 2 yards on 3rd and 1.

“Given Noem’s ascendant profile among conservatives, the federal PAC registration is “a pretty strong signal that she probably has national aspirations,” Edwin Bender, the head of The National Institute on Money in State Politics, said.”
Of course because the national media can’t accept that the nomination in 2024 will be Donald Trump, they assume the PAC is a signal that Noem will run for President.
But if you look at how these funds can be used I think you find the true answer.
1/ “Ms. Noem is trying to cement her place as the only female Trump ally echoing the former president’s trigger-the-left approach among the upper tiers of potential 2024 candidates.”
2/ “Ms. Noem had a relatively modest profile during four terms serving in Congress and in her first year as governor. By the end of 2020, however, she had gained the notice of Mr. Trump, who was egging her on to challenge Mr. Thune in his primary next year.”
3/ “She has disclaimed any interest in such a challenge. But her coziness with Mr. Trump and her hiring of the hard-charging Lewandowski, the former president’s onetime campaign manager, has put a chill in her relationship with Mr. Thune, the second-ranking Senate Republican.”
But at the same time if the election official said the ballot was valid, whether it was or wasn’t, then by the same token the courts wouldn’t get into the middle of those decisions.
Courts assume election officials are operating in good faith.
Unless...
2/6
Unless you have direct evidence of fraud or conspiracy. Not circumstantial. Direct. It needs to be like an official coming forward or an email describing the intent to violate the law.
Short of that the court assumes all actions were taken in good faith.
Not sure if this will interest anyone but my family and I have had the flu this week.
My two year old son was very sick a few nights ago. Last year he was in the hospital three times with a respiratory virus right at the begging game of the Covid thing.
They weren’t testing then unless you had been in certain countries. So I don’t really know what he had. Anyway, one night he was struggling to breath. We have a nebulizer so we gave him a treatment and he got through the night.
The next morning it started up again so out of caution we brought him to the emergency room of the local children’s hospital.
I was expecting they would ask us all of the Covid questions and do a rapid test but no. They did ask he he had traveled out of the country. That’s it.
