Yea, I get a solid dose of that hooey.  The nuttier they get, the more independents and real Republicans can't hold their noses long enough to vote for them.  The Kerri Lake effect...even Arizonan's couldn't.  Might even be forced to vote for a communist liberal.   :o

Today is Wednesday, March 6, the 66th day of 2024.
There are 300 days left in the year.



Today’s highlight in history:

On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Dred Scott v. Sandford, ruled 7-2 that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and therefore could not sue for his freedom in federal court.


On this date:


In 1834, the city of York in Upper Canada was incorporated as Toronto.

In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell as Mexican forces led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna stormed the fortress after a 13-day siege; the battle claimed the lives of all the Texan defenders, nearly 200 strong, including William Travis, James Bowie and Davy Crockett.

In 1912, Oreo sandwich cookies were first introduced by the National Biscuit Co.

In 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aimed at calming panicked depositors, went into effect.

In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II.

In 1964, heavyweight boxing champion Cassius Clay officially changed his name to Muhammad Ali.

In 1970, a bomb being built inside a Greenwich Village townhouse in New York by the radical Weathermen accidentally went off, destroying the house and killing three group members.

In 1973, Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, 80, died in Danby, Vermont.

In 1981, Walter Cronkite signed off for the last time as principal anchorman of “The CBS Evening News.”

In 1998, the Army honored three Americans who’d risked their lives and turned their weapons on fellow soldiers to stop the slaughter of Vietnamese villagers at My Lai (mee ly) in 1968.

In 2002, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report in which he wrote that former President Bill Clinton could have been indicted and probably would have been convicted in the scandal involving former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

In 2016, former first lady Nancy Reagan died in Los Angeles at age 94.

In 2022, a second attempt to evacuate Ukrainians from the besieged city of Mariupol collapsed as Russian attacks made it impossible to create a humanitarian corridor.

And as for Trumpf, as usual, instead of reaching out to the Haley Republicans, instead of extending an olive branch, he basically said, you lost, now get in line with MAGA.

This is true. But I think they really dropped the ball shutting Haley out. I think if she goes through as the candidate, she mops the floor with Biden. But that's all I've got to say about that.

Last time, Biden wasn't on the ballot, and a whole lot of Republicans were effectively punishing Republican candidates for not being loyal to Trump.  Whie I'd have liked to see Haley take the nomination, I think either Trump or Haley beats Biden in November. 

The thought of another four years of Trump doesn't excite me.  At the same time, I don't feel any less enthusiastic about throwing wrenches into politics now than I did four years ago or eight years ago.
