Disgraced former 9th Circuit Appeals Court Judge Alex Kozinski, who retired in 2017 over multiple allegations of sexual misconduct toward clerks and junior employees, has been called back into legal action to represent disgraced former President Trump in appealing the dismissal of his stupid lawsuit against Twitter for banning him after the Capitol riot, Reuters reports.

Kozinski, a Reagan appointee, retired after trying the “locker room talk” excuse for his inappropriate behavior, saying at the time he “always had a broad sense of humor” and “may not have been mindful enough of the special challenges and pressures that women face in the workplace.”

Sequoia Rhodes Adams, the estranged 19 year-old daughter of seditionist Oath Keepers leader Stewie Rhodes is organizing a pro-choice rally this weekend in a town in Montana’s remote northwest, per a profile published Saturday in the Daily Beast. Sequoia describes her father as – shocker – an abusive “pro-life” asshole who loaded his ex-wife and kids down with farm responsibilities in order to make it difficult for them to leave. Per Sequoia, Stewie Rhodes kept his ex-wife Tasha essentially continually pregnant – six kids and three miscarriages – the whole time she lived with him until she and her Sequoia’s siblings fled in 2018. Sequoia can’t remember a time growing up when her mom wasn’t breastfeeding a baby.

Obviously it’s no surprise that Rhodes turns out to be a fucking asshole and terrible father separate and apart from his attempted overthrow of the US government, knowing what’s been reported elsewhere about the personal/family lives of the people who threw themselves into the insurrection. Take, for example, 3%er Guy Reffitt who threatened his kids if they informed on him, Matt Gaetz’s ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation, QAdulteress Marjorie Taylor Greene’s adultery, MAGA Joan of Arc Ashli Babbitt’s deeply checkered past, Michigan booze lady Mellissa Carone’s ugly stalking episodes against her boyfriend’s ex-wife, Matthew Beddingfield who violated his attempted murder bond to go attack the Capitol on the 6th, the MAGA rioter arrested for assaulting a woman in a pool hall a few months ago, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne banging “MAGA Hari” Russian spy Maria Butina, and so on and so forth.

These are just a few of the examples of apolitical scumbaggery of those who tried to overturn the 2020 election, forget about shit like Pelosi’s laptop thief Riley Williams being a hardcore Neo-Nazi (and the daughter of a pedophile) and Marine reservist rioter Jia Liu selling fake COVID vax cards.

Now maybe this is confirmation bias. Maybe we’re overlooking the people who were/are actually in fact pillars of their community, paragons of personal integrity, exemplary parents, etc and that their character is real rather than something polished and embellished by a defense lawyer at sentencing. Maybe there are plenty of these people for whom the good really does outweigh the bad. But it’s hard to escape the feeling that most if not all of the hardcore MAGA insurrectionists, whether they violently invaded the Capitol on the 6th or not, are just complete pieces of shit aside from their contempt for democracy and worship of an amoral orange degenerate.

An Ohio doctor who specializes in child abuse cases made a difficult call to a colleague in Indiana last week:  the doctor had a pregnant 10-year-old girl in the office who needed an abortion but the state’s abortion ban after six weeks had just gone into effect, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The problem:  the girl was impregnated six weeks and three days before.  No doctor in Ohio could provide the girl with an abortion, so she needed to go to Indiana for the procedure.  Regardless of the fact that this 10-year-old girl was abused, in the view of Ohio’s leaders, she was old enough to parent an infant.

Abortion providers in Indiana report that they’re getting scores of inquiries from patients in Ohio and Kentucky, which also passed a ban after six weeks.  With its conservative legislature, pundits foresee Indiana passing a similarly restrictive law, which means patients like this 10-year-old girl will have to travel even farther.

Dainty Southern belle Senator Lindsey Graham is among the Trump sycophants encouraging fat former President Trump to announce his run for 2024 soon, which the tubby wannabe dictator now feels an increasing urgency to do as quickly as possible given the legal threats piling up and may just do so in a Truth Social post without a rally, the New York Times reports.

• Whoever takes the VP nomination for the GOP in 2024 does so understanding that his Party supports the right of the President to call for his assassination at any time.   
• Not to be overly dramatic, but I believe we are on the precipice of seeing human rights be rolled back by a group of activist judges who are determined to impose their archaic morals on all their subjects.  If Clarence Thomas et all have their way, we’ll have “separate but equal” facilities again for a variety of traits.
• Trump frequently throwing dishes might be why they only feed him food in paper boxes.
• Biden’s done a lot in office so far–from massive job creation to an actual infrastructure deal to the Covid relief package.  But the two that will have a lasting, historic impact are the expansion of NATO to include Sweden and Finland, and the appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The Official GOP 2024 Straw Poll available online from the Republican National Committee asks people to vote for their favorite candidate to lead the Party into 2024.  Of course, Donald Trump tops the list, but his spawn Don Jr. and Ivanka are one there, too–but there’s no love for Ewic.  Even Tucker Carlson gets a nod.  All of the non-white people on the list–Tim Scott, Ben Carson and Marco Rubio–are grouped together like someone said, “Jeez, this poll is awfully white.”

But of course, it’s not a real poll.  It’s just a way to get respondents’ email addresses, and it directs you to a donation page–where the “recurring donation” box is still automatically pre-checked for you.

The leadership of remote, desolate Loving County, Texas, the least populous in the United States at 64 as of the 2020 census, was in trouble even before their top elected official, County Judge Skeet Jones, was arrested in May along with three other locals on charges of cattle rustling, finding their rule shaken up by the provisions of the new Texas voter suppression law requiring people to actually live where they’re registered to vote, NBC News reports.

Long and complicated story short, because of the oil extraction going on in the area, a county of 64 people has an annual budget of more than $28 million and county elected officials’ salaries are often in the six figures. Dem Commissioner Ysidro Renteria – who actually lives in neighboring Reeves County – makes $55,000 a year for the part-time job, but cleaned up $4.7 million in road maintenance contracts since 2015. Renteria is registered to vote in the county, despite his address being a flooded out and abandoned ranch house. Ten other voters are also registered at the place.

Sheriff Chris Busse says for years he couldn’t do anything about the voters like Renteria, but now that the state laws. Now Busse filed a complaint with corrupt scumbag Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office challenging Renteria’s eligibility for office on the basis of his fraudulent registration. The case could have major implications for Loving County going forward.

Perpetually aggrieved alleged addict who claims to be billionaire’s son Donald Trump, Jr. wants everyone to know that inflation is costing American families $10 more to celebrate Independence Day than it did last year due to inflation. Junior doesn’t mention that we still get to celebrate Independence Day even though his daddy tried to undermine our Constitution and the American public is seeing the evidence pile up.

The Trump Media and Technology Group said in a Friday filing they were “served with a subpoena, issued by a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York, seeking a subset of the same or similar documents demanded in subpoenas to Digital World and its directors. Certain current and former TMTG personnel have also recently received individual grand jury subpoenas.”

Total WITCH HUNT! No former President has ever been treated this badly! When is this federal grand jury going to subpoena Hunter Biden and Crooked Hillary?!? They SPIED on the President, remember?!? And that stupid scumbag lawyer got acquitted by a rigged jury! FAKE SUBPOENA!

That second paragraph was written for our MAGA readers. We’re trying to be more inclusive here of the politically persecuted and victimized and blah blah blah whatever they say it is.

At this point it is easier to ask which Amendments the Democrats HAVE NOT tried to violate.

We cannot verify that when asked to list the Amendments in the US Constitution, Lauren Boebert replied, “Well, the First, the Second, the Third….”

The Secret Service agent who was driving the Suburban on January 6th did tell other agents the fat former President had lunged at the steering wheel when told they weren’t going to be driving him to the Capitol after his Ellipse speech and this account had been circulating long before former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified this week, CNN reports.

The details of CNN’s report do not go so far as Trump actually grabbing the wheel as opposed to “lunging” up toward it, nor were there any details of the purported attempt to choke agent Bobby Engel, but now it would seem like the burden of proof is on Engel and Tony Ornato to testify and definitively deny the incident, as well as all the other extremely damning details Hutch revealed publicly in her testimony to the House January 6th Select Committee on Tuesday.

Even as Republican Governor Ron DeSantis tries to twist his policy to include a fictitious border crisis when his state only borders Georgia and Alabama, the state is suffering from an invasion of foreigners spreading potentially deadly meningitis, MSN reports.

In a transparent attempt to bolster his conservative bona fides by bashing immigrants before the 2024 primaries, DeSantis has convened a grand jury to investigate what he calls “immigration-related issues” like child sex trafficking; shockingly, he has not called Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz in as an expert witness.  As mentioned, Florida does not border any foreign countries, so the real issue is the interstate transport of forced sex workers from other states, which tend to congregate in Florida when major conventions and events like the Super Bowl are in town, something some tourists link to Florida vacations and culture.

But Florida’s real immigration problem is more deadly and more imminent:  thousands of invasive Giant African land snails have been found in Pasco County.  Unlike with the coronavirus pandemic, the Florida Department of Agriculture has set up a quarantine zone around Pasco County and launched an eradication program.

As a massive heatwave encompasses the state, Texas residents will likely not face massive power outages thanks to solar and wind power production that has been brought online in the last year, Reuters reports.

ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas which governs the self-contained Texas power grid, said that the demand on the grid could hit a record 78,532 megawatt level next week.  Thanks to solar and wind power generation sources incorporated in the last year, the state was able to increase its power output to more than 90,000 MW.

The increase in power production will help offset the longterm problems of the fossil fuel delivery systems relied on during the February 2021 winter storm that froze equipment that provided fossil fuels like natural gas to power plants and homes, a situation that left an estimated 246 to 700 people dead and prompted Senator Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo) to flee to his home district in Mexico.

Former Florida woman Sheila Keen-Warren will finally go on trial in a Palm Beach County Court this fall, 32 years after she was alleged to have dressed up like a clown, knocked on the door of her boss’s 40 year old wife Marlene Warren, shot her romantic rival in the face, and then fled in a Chrysler Le Baron convertible the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

It took prosecutors nearly 27 years to develop the evidence to charge Keen-Warren with the crime, even though the fact that she married her boss after his wife was knocked off should’ve been enough. The trial has been delayed since 2017 due to other issues and the pandemic. Investigators had recovered fibers from the orange clown wig from the crime scene and the Chrysler Le Baron as the damning proof of the evil clownery that took Marlene Warren’s life.

“Another useful idiot and probably from the mentally ill sector. The Democrats will use them all”

– The current top comment on the Gateway Pundit article “Angry Leftist VIOLENTLY ASSAULTS Republican Campaign Volunteer in Florida After He’s Caught Ripping Up Signs,” posted Friday.

“Dr. Vladimir ‘Zev’ Zelenko, the man who discovered and implemented the treatment for COVID-19 that over the past two years has been responsible for saving millions of lives worldwide, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was 48. Born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1973, Zev’s family immigrated the United States in 1977 and settled in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. He attended Hofstra University where he earned with a BA in chemistry with high honors. He then went on to the Buffalo School of Medicine where he earned his M.D. in 2000” says the announcement from America’s Frontline Doctors, the group that pushed the hydroxychloroquine batshittery to Trump during the early stages of the pandemic in 2020 and whose most famous member, Dr Stella Emmanuel is known as the “Demon Sperm and Alien DNA” lady.

Twitter famously deleted the misinformation video of Emmanuel, Zelenko, and other right wing quacks pushing the anti-malaria drug that Trump had retweeted two years ago this week.

.@greggutfeld: Cassidy Hutchinson testified before the January 6 Committee about something she 'didn't see' https://t.co/Pk1IsBIQuZ

— Fox News (@FoxNews) July 1, 2022

The twisted visage of its 50 year old mid-puberty adolescent late night “comedy” host Greg Gutfeld reacting to the Tuesday testimony of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson is in many ways the purest encapsulation of Fox News’s very being: The inadequacies of mediocre white men channeled into grievance, that grievance powers self-sustained feedback loop of the “comedy” host’s affronted rage is the subject of a “news article” on the site. Truly breathtaking.

Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann, the moron who greenlit the infamous “Cyber Ninjas” clusterfuck, was among the list of FBI subpoena and search targets from last Wednesday’s sweep of MAGA scumbags, KNPX reports. “I was not part of January 6, didn’t even know it was going on until after it happened,” Fann told some insider-y subscription-only Arizona politics blog. “I saw it on the news like everybody else,” she added, as if the subpoena was about the fucking actual Capitol riot and not her participation in the fake Trump 2020 electors scam.

Also nabbed with a subpoena in the sweep was MAGA Arizona state Senator Kelly Townsend, who was told to cough up any and all emails between her and Trump lawyers from the post-election period. Previously reported to have been served or searched in the sweep were Arizona GOP chair “Chemtrails” Kelli Ward and her husband – both had signed on as fake Trump 2020 electors, .

The UK Conservative Party’s chief deputy whip, MP Chris Pincher, resigned from his party leadership position on Thursday after admitting he “drank far too much,” and sexually groped two other men at the Carlton Club in London’s Piccadilly. “I’ve embarrassed myself and other people which is the last thing I want to do and for that I apologise to you and to those concerned,” Pincher – who will remain in Parliament – wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
