Y’all remember the Texas state representative who decided that Muslims are not welcome in the office that the citizens of Texas provide for her?

Well, even some of her Republican colleagues disagreed with both her motives and her methods.

So Molly decided to dig in.

She held a press conference to call the reaction to her statements,“blown out of proportion.”

Seriously.

In an interview with KWTX, White said “I always treat everybody with respect and listen, but if we have some things that are diabolically different then I need to let them know where I stand and they let me know where they stand.”

Diabolically?  She does know what that means, right?  Yeah, well, that doesn’t answer the question of who is the devil.  Yes, Molly, I am looking at you.

So, she’s drawing a line in the sand and that line is at the door to the office that the damn citizens of the State of Texas provide for her.

It also appears that she had doubled down.  Her Facebook —

In June of last year, she shared a photo of two Texas men arrested on terrorism charges, with a call to root out homegrown jihadists and terrorist training camps.

A Temple man commented on the post and said the Muslim community in Bell County appeared peaceful.

“Read what I said,” White replied, referring to the original post. “Then again, Muslims cannot be trusted no matter how peaceful they appear.”

“If they come here and convert to the American way of life I may be more willing to trust,” her reply continues. “When they come here to advance their way of life, Islam, then no trust there.”

I just want to say one little thing to Miss Molly.  Honey, that picture of you that you use everywhere is 20 years and 40 pounds ago.

Yes, this is what happens to you if you’re mean and hateful.

Let that be a lesson.

Rick Perry is having some difficulty getting people to believe he’s actually a viable candidate for President.

You’re shocked, right?

Rick has been spectacularly unsuccessful in raising money for his Presidential campaign.  This reporting period he raised a grand total of $103,537.00.  That would be okay if he were running for a safe Republican House seat in Nebraska.  Which, come to think of it, is something he ought to consider doing.

Here’s the paperwork.  Click the little one to see the big one.

By the way, in case you’re wondering – only 8 contributions came from outside of Texas.  And seven of those came from the Wildwood Mental Health Facility in Greensboro, Georgia.  Okay, so I made that last part up.  So sue me.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Let’s mosey on over to New Mexico, where a couple was living in a hotel room with a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and another baby due next month.

Authorities said a 3-year-old boy got hold of a handgun from his mother’s purse and fired just one shot that wounded both his parents.

Albuquerque police said the toddler apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon.

Both parents are only wounded.  Had I been living in a hotel room with two adults and two toddlers with another on the way, I’d have shot them a long time ago.

Local media reports said police believed Saturday’s shooting was accidental.

So the kid is a nicer person than I am.

Thanks to Zyxomma for the heads up.
