Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards “swatted” my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time & resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family.

Ann & I want to thank @NaplesPolice & @CollierSheriff for all they do to keep us safe.

Reporters with the Bucks County Courier Times this week found court documents revealing that Doylestown MAGA school board activist and failed Republican 2022 lieutenant governor primary candidate Clarice Schillinger was charged with assault, harassment, and furnishing minors with alcohol over her daughter’s 17th birthday party in September that devolved into a drunken melee.

The 36 year-old Schillinger, who like many other Karens of her ilk launched her political career during the COVID-19 pandemic, founding PACs called “Keeping Kids In School” and “Back To School PA” in 2020 and 2021, respectively, for the pretty self-explanatory purpose of backing Republican school board candidates who opposed remote learning, flipping 113 of 182 seats on Keystone State district boards during the 2021 mini-red wave. The next summer Schillinger told a local radio host she was taking her PAC nationally. “Back To School USA is really going to be focused on putting candidates in place that will put our children and their education first,” she told WPHT’s Dom Giordano. “Right now, we are not doing that. We are more focused on these woke and gender ideas.”

This was after Schillinger had launched her 2022 lieutenant gubernatorial campaign and came in 4th in the Republican primary. The winner, now-former state Representative Carrie DelRosso, then got crushed by Dem now-Lt Governor Austin Daniels by 15 percent in the general, so Schillinger was spared further embarrassment… until her daughter’s September 29th, 2023 birthday bash.

Court and police documents state that the liquor-fueled celebration featured entertainment such as Schillinger’s now-ex-boyfriend Shan Wilson grabbing a 16 year-old boy by the neck for intervening in a fight between him and Schillinger, and then hitting a 15 year-old in the face during an argument over football. Schillinger’s mom Danette Bert punched the older kid in the eye and chased him around the kitchen. When some of the kids tried to leave, Schillinger ordered them to stay and ended up punching a boy in the chest, according to cell phone video acquired by police. Wilson and Bert have since reached plea deals with prosecutors with the assault charges dropped down to disorderly conduct, but Schillinger herself still faces a hearing late next month.

It’s amazing how conservatives continue to fail history when discussing the United States Civil War especially when they’re so enthusiastic to claim Abraham Lincoln as one of their own.  In this clip from CNN of a New Hampshire town hall, former Republican South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley–remember she once led the state where the first shots were fired in the Civil War–claimed the cause of the Civil War was “how government was gonna run, the freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do.”  You know, like determine where they lived, or if they got an education, or if their children were ripped from their arms to be sold for labor.  Or as Nikki Haley says, what the slaveholders who owned them wanted the freedom to have them do.

New York Mayor Eric Adams instituted restrictions on when buses transporting migrants can arrive in the city, Gothamist reports, in an effort to thwart Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott from dumping dozens of people on the streets in the middle of the night to “own the libs.”

After his communications head called Abbott’s manipulation of migrants “inhumane” when a plane of migrants was diverted from New York to Philadelphia because of weather, Adams announced that buses carrying migrants can only drop off their passengers during weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and noon–and the buses must give 32-hours before discharging passengers at a single location in Manhatten.

“We can not allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night,” Adams said. “This not only prevents us from providing assistance in an orderly way, it puts those who have already suffered so much in danger.”

She’s been sanctioned by the court.  She hasn’t won a single case for the client she’s representing.  In fact, she was doing so poorly that she was removed by her client, but kept on the team to be a PAC spokesperson.  But according to Dracula-in-plain-sight Sebastian Gorka, Alina Habba lies to the media with effortless grace, a skill Habba ascribes to her “patriotism,” claiming that she’s never had training in PR, but she just loves Donald Trump so much, she’s become a professional spokesperson known around the world.  Like Baghdad Bob.

Facing a fundraising juggernaut in returning Dem challenger Adam Fritsch who came up just barely short against her in 2022, 37 year-old grandma idiot Congresswoman Lauren Boebert will drop out of her Colorado’s 3rd District race in 2024 and run instead for the 4th District seat to be vacated by retiring “RINO” Ken Buck – on the complete opposite side of the state, the Colorado Sun reports.

This probably fucks Adam Frisch as Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman has immediately shifted CO-3’s 2024 rating from “toss up” to “Lean R” as the Boebert herself was the problem there, not the GOP. What’s less clear is how well Boebert will do in CO-4 as, again, the problem is her, not the Republican Party. And she lives hundreds of miles west of the district. Some bald asshole had already declared against Buck back in October, who knows how much money he has or whether the “name recognition” thing will be good or bad for grandma on the high plains east of the Rockies.

Apologies for the back-to-back Colorado GOP stories. Could be worse though. Like a Texas day.

The Colorado Republican Party says it has filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court to challenge the state Supreme Court’s ruling that Donald Trump is disqualified from appearing on the 2024 ballot by the 14th Amendment, CNN reports.

After a lower court declared Trump had participated in an insurrection but opted not to declare him ineligible after a half dozen voters–five Republicans and an independent–sued to get Trump taken off the ballot.  The state Supreme Court then ruled that Trump was ineligible for the ballot based on the 14th Amendment Clause 3, known as the Insurrection Clause but which should be renamed the Maya Angelou Clause (“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”) which bars people who violated their oath to protect and defend the Constitution from ever being elected to a position with a similar oath.

Republicans are set on keeping Trump on the ballot, even though his lead seems to be eroding in early primary states and he’s still facing multiple criminal and civil cases; he’ll likely face more, too, after the judgment in Rudy Giuliani’s Georgia civil defamation case.  To prepare for losing an appeal, Colorado’s GOP is considering holding a caucus, not an official primary, to assign their delegates, avoiding the spirit as well as the letter of the law.

Something’s up with this guy. You’d think that he’d be feeling refreshed after nearly two weeks off from the daily grind of not accomplishing anything and letting his and Jim Jordan’s staffers do all the hard work of writing some stupid letter accusing Hunter and Joe Biden of colluding, but no, here he is plainly pissed off and exhausted with the futility of it all. Can’t even come up with anything more clever or original than the exact opposite of reality for the tail end of his rant. Very sad.

For those feeding the money pot belonging to liberal media magnate/space explorer/local retail killer Jeff Bezos by holding an Amazon Prime membership, their television experience is about to get less stream-y and more cable-y as Prime Video membership include commercials starting January 29th.

Per the Washington Post, customers will be able to opt in to pay an additional $2.99 for a commercial-free entertainment experience, although there are a lot of questions about how exactly the cost will be charged for people who pay annual memberships.  Commercials will be added to programming in the United States, Britain, Germany and Canada in early 2024, with France, Italy, Spain, Mexico and Australia getting ads later in the year.

Disgraced former President Trump is demanding that his minions’ Larry Kudlow, Rick Perry, Linda McMahon, and others start paying him his cut out of their America First Policy Institute “think tank” scam operation as he believes they improperly raised money off his “brand,” Rolling Stone reports.

“It’s my fucking money!” the fat bastard reportedly screamed with rage at his underlings, who tried to explain to him that there’s no legal means for a non-profit organization to simply cut a check to Trump or his campaign for whatever he thinks they owe him. “I don’t even know if she would legally be allowed to give him all that money, to be honest with you,” a source said “It’s not like [former Trump White House aide Brooke Rollins] got caught selling a bunch of knockoff Trump ties.”

Trump tells his minions that he’d be fine if Rollins would just settle for “half” whatever the amount he thinks she owes. The most recent filings indicate that AFPI took in $38 million in FY 2021-22, but Trump believes it’s up to $60 million. He keeps asking if “the lawyers” can get involved and his sycophants keep telling him that’s a very bad idea. When asked for comment, large-headed spokesman Steven Cheung’s massive cranium emitted a typically combative statement. “None of these conversations ever happened, and these sources who pretend to speak for President Trump clearly have their own agenda so they’ve fabricated elaborate stories to make it seem like they know what’s going on. America First-aligned organizations exist because of President Trump and the movement he created, and we look forward to their continued work,” said Cheung.

A Wyoming woman sentenced to five years in prison for setting fire to the state’s only abortion clinic has been ordered by a federal judge to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution to the clinic operator, its insurance company and the building owner, the Associated Press reports.

Lorna Green admitted to making the two-and-a-half-hour drive from Laramie to Casper on May 25, 2022, breaking into the building that was under construction to become the Wellspring Health Access, scheduled to open in that June.  Green then poured gasoline around the interior of the building and set it afire.  While Green said she was anti-abortion, she never expressed such views or any politically militant views online; she claimed in her trial she was experiencing anxiety and nightmares about the clinic’s opening.

A student at Casper College, Green will repay $240,000 to the insurance company that covered the fire damage claim, as well as $33,500 to the building’s owner and $24,500 to the woman who founded and led of the clinic.  After the attack, the clinic finally opened in April 2023, becoming the only operating abortion clinic in the state.

“Crooked Joe Biden’s errand boy, Deranged Jack Smith, is obsessed with attacking your favorite President, me, and with interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am Dominating. Deranged Jack is so Viciously and Desperately Angry that the Supreme Court just unanimously rejected his flailing attempt to rush this Witch Hunt, that he is ignoring the Law and clear instructions from the DC Court that this ‘case’ should be stayed, and there cannot be any more filings.”

“Today’s pathetic motion is not just Illegal, it is also another Unconstitutional attempt to take away my First Amendment Rights, and to prevent me from saying the TRUTH — that all of these Hoaxes are nothing but a political persecution of me, the MAGA Movement, and the Republican Party by Crooked Joe and his Despicable Thugs. The Radical Left Communists, Marxists, and Fascists are petrified of me speaking the TRUTH because the American People don’t want them destroying our Country. Make America Great Again!” writes fat former President Trump, as expected plainly unhappy over Smith proposing restrictions on Trump’s defense case on Wednesday. There’s nothing illegal about Smith continuing to work in anticipation of the stay being lifted and complaining about it while the special counsel faces no consequences simply exposes Donald’s impotence.

In a motion that will likely be repeated in the various state and federal criminal cases Donald Trump faces, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion with the DC federal court asserting Trump’s defense team should not be allowed to make arguments citing irrelevant or fictional claims.

Among the claims Smith wants barred from Trump’s defense:  the assertion that the prosecution is selective and vindictive, a claim that, as well as being false, does not contradict the facts to be presented and may adversely influence the jury; potential outcomes from a guilty or not guilty verdict in the trial, including political campaigns and potential civil unrest; and how federal and local agencies dealt with the Republican-led domestic terrorist attack on Congress January 6th (“[T]he defendant cannot argue that law enforcement should have prevented the violence he caused and obstruction he intended,” Smith writes.).

The Heritage Foundation on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense for a cancellation of screenings the QAnon fan-favorite Sound of Freedom at the Miami-area headquarters of US SOUTHCOM, shitty right wing clickbait site TrendingPoliticsNews.com reports.

“Plaintiffs seek to understand the basis for SOUTHCOM’s decision and to determine whether factors outside of the stated reasons played a role in the cancellation and subsequent refusal to reschedule the screening. The American people deserve to know whether this decision was motivated by political concerns or other factors apart from issues of copyright law and intellectual property,” says the complaint. This was filed months after anti-sex trafficking “activist” Tim Ballard – a former DHS agent played by conspiracy-pilled Jesus freak Jim Caviezel in the film – was himself publicly and credibly accused of basically running his own sex-trafficking operation by coercing Mormon housewives into sex acts while posing as his fellow “buyers” during his “undercover operations.”

So by all means the Defense Department should settle and immediately say “Hey so we didn’t think our personnel should be watching this piece of shit movie about that sick fuck. There’s nothing ‘Christian’ about what he – and his buddy who fondled that teen girl’s boobs – did. Go ahead and sue us again for violating your First Amendment rights. Tell the jury how good of a guy Ballard is.”

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is still in New York State this week, fighting hard for the interests of, um, Chick-fil-A by lobbying against a state bill that would force a very narrow set of locations of the fast food chain, ones that haven’t even been built yet, ones only to be located at state-owned rest stops on the New York State Thruway, to remain open on Sundays.

Graham’s Wednesday spot on Fox News marks at least the second time in four days that the Palmetto State Republican was in Manhattan to advance the righteous cause of the Christian-themed fried chicken joint, as he made a public appearance at a Midtown Chick-fil-A on Saturday.

It’s not clear if Graham returned to South Carolina or Washington, DC in the intervening days. During his Fox News interview Graham assured the hosts and viewers that he wasn’t in the Empire State to force his personal beliefs about Chick-fil-A upon others, saying “The bottom line is Conservatives are tolerant, we are kind of get out of your business, you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone.”

“House Majority PAC is placing $5.2 million in initial television and digital reservations to run in the weeks ahead of the February 13 special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District. House Majority PAC is additionally announcing an initial $700,000 mail program for NY-03. ‘With these initial television and digital reservations and mail program, House Majority PAC is making it clear that we will do whatever it takes to take back the House in 2024 – and NY-03 represents the opportunity to make that happen,’ said House Majority PAC President Mike Smith. ‘Tom Suozzi is a fighter who has a proven record of lowering costs, strengthening police, and working across the aisle to get things done. House Majority PAC looks forward to flipping NY-03 blue'” – House Majority PAC statement.

The top story on Breitbart’s home page on Wednesday morning titled “In Memoriam: 14 Americans, Legal Immigrants Among Those Allegedly Killed by Illegal Aliens in 2023,” lists nine homicide and four vehicular accident victims dead at the hands of undocumented immigrants, plus an edge case of a Florida sheriff’s deputy who tragically collapsed and died of a “cardiac dysrhythmia” after a lengthy struggle with an illegal alien suspect who was nonetheless charged with murder.

This compares with 18 dead in Lewiston, Maine in October at the hands of Robert Card, a far right militia cosplayer who hated trans people and was a fan of Jim Jordan, Tucker Carlson, and Donald Trump Jr, 8 dead in Allen, Texas at the hands of Mauricio Garcia, a 4chan incel Nazi who wore far right patches when he went on a shooting spree in a mall in May, three Black Americans dead in Jacksonville, Florida at the hands of white nationalist incel Ryan Palmeter in August, a six year-old Palestinian-American Illinois boy who was stabbed to death by his MAGA landlord Joseph Czuba.

Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday filed a motion in the still in-stasis pretrial stage of disgraced former President Trump’s post-2020 election coup attempt case asking DC Judge Tanya Chutkan to ban the fat fuck’s defense from telling the jury he’s being “targeted” by the Biden Administration with a politically motivated prosecution, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

“Following his indictment in this District, the defendant has made unsupported and politicized claims of selective and vindictive prosecution, indicated that he intends to explore irrelevant issues related to the Government’s investigation, and complained that the grand jury’s indictment and the Court’s trial date will interfere with his political activities. None of these issues goes to the defendant’s guilt or innocence, all of them should be excluded… The Court should prohibit the defendant from introducing evidence, making arguments, or framing questions to advance a theory of selective or vindictive prosecution, or to otherwise improperly inject politics into the trial. The defendant has made a baseless claim of selective and vindictive prosecution, and repeatedly has levied the false accusation that the indictment – returned by a grand jury of citizens of this District on a finding of probable cause was directed by the current president as a form of election interference. In addition to being wrong, these allegations are irrelevant to the jury’s determination of the defendant’s guilt or innocence, would be prejudicial if presented to the jury, and must be excluded,” Smith’s team wrote.

The Michigan state Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a lower court decision deeming disgraced former President Trump is still eligible for the 2024 primary ballot despite having engaged in insurrection. The ruling does not close the door on a crack at removing the fat fuck from the general election ballot (should the US Supreme Court sidestep the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling), as the opinion concerns only the court’s lack of jurisdiction over the Michigan Republican Party’s process.

“The Michigan Supreme Court has strongly and rightfully denied the Desperate Democrat attempt to take the leading Candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election, me, off the ballot in the Great State of Michigan,” the orange bastard later posted on Truth Social, making it plain he doesn’t understand that he’s not out of the woods yet there and everything’s on the line at the US Supreme Court.

“They cheated on the Election in so many ways. Ballot stuffing, the 51 Intelligence Agents, not getting approval from state legislatures, FBI/Twitter Files, and much more. The Election was long over, I wasn’t campaigning, I was just doing my job. I am entitled to IMMUNITY!!!” wrote fat former President Trump on Truth Social on Wednesday morning, at least the third time in the last four days that he posted some version of the same rant falsely stressing the “I was not campaigning” aspect of his bullshit “presidential immunity” defense as he faces a crucial DC Appeals Court hearing on January 9th in a desperate bid to avoid going on trial before the 2024 election.

Trump even pinned a post saying more or less the same shit on Tuesday night, as if there was any doubt about just how important it is for him to tell his fans he wasn’t campaigning, even though it’s beyond dispute that he continued collecting donations from them after election day in 2020 and that the January 6th Ellipse rally in which he incited the Capitol riot was a political and not official event.

“They illegally spied on my campaign, lied to Congress, cheated FISA, didn’t get approval from State Legislatures, lost control of ballot counting, stuffed ballots, 51 Fake Intelligence Agents, FBI/Twitter Files, and much more, and they come after me for Election Interference. Only in America!” Trump continued in another post. This one’s great. Love the “They illegally spied on my campaign, lied to Congress, cheated FISA,” as if the grievances from 2016 are supposed to matter now. Even better are the repeats of the “FBI/Twitter Files” bullshit – sorry fucking Hunter’s laptop didn’t help swing the 2020 election your way like you paying off Stormy Daniels helped you big time in 2016 – and the “didn’t get approval from State Legislatures,” which is both completely false and implies he’s still butthurt that more people simply were able to vote by mail than in prior elections.
