Through the kindness of their hearts, a SuperPAC named the Texas Patriots PAC, has built a list for us.  It’s a handy dandy Idiots List, complete with the names and addresses of the biggest idiots in Texas.

You can click right here and then right here to see the complete list of people who bought tickets to a “Trump Event” in Texas. They spent upwards of $50,000 of perfectly good cash American money to see Donald Trump.

I even noticed a $1,667 donation from the “Friends of Cecil Bell.”  Cecil has friends?

So there you have this handy list but then comes how this PAC spent their money.  And here.

They have one paid staff person.  Oddly, considering the multiple trips to the hardware store, you gotta wonder if maybe this guy has taken it upon himself to go ahead and build a big ole wall at the border.

Click the little one to see the big one.

So, that’s way too much money for hand painted signs.  Plus, there’s no indication they bought a dictionary.

Verdelia thinks they were buying lotsa hammers and sacks, so that if Trump ever needs a brain transplant, sack of hammer would raise his IQ by 50, 60 points.

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

The Rick Perry SuperPAC, Opportunity and Freedom, says that they are going to spend one. million. dollars. in advertising to insure that Rick Perry comes up enough in the polls to secure a spot in the first GOP presidential debate on Fox News on August 6th.

One. Million. Dollars.

Hell, I can’t imagine who would spend one.million.dollars. for the opportunity for Rick Perry to say, “oops” on national teevee again.

This is the ad they are going to run.  And they will run it —

Barbour noted the radio advertisements will run on the conservative Salem radio network, which boasts an estimated 10 million listeners a week and includes talk shows hosted by Bill Bennett, Hugh Hewitt and Mike Gallagher.

He said the ads were aimed at reaching a “really dedicated, loyal group of conservative activists, and it’s really important we reintroduce Perry to them.”

Hell, with loyal conservative activists, just do an ad of him saying the n-word, shooting off a bazooka on a busy street, and hollering at “baby killer” to random women.  He’s be in first place before the sun set.

Thanks to Donald for the heads up.

So here ya go —

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he has authorized the adjutant general of the Texas National Guard to arm Guardsmen at military facilities across Texas.

Abbott joins governors in Florida and Louisiana in the call to arm Guardsmen after a gunman attacked a recruiting center and a Marine-Navy reserve facility in Chattanooga earlier this week.

Well, good luck with that, Governor.  Have you told the crazy Jade Helm people about this?

Cheeezzzz…. that man would arm the Girl Scouts if he could.

Costco makes birthday cakes.  Pretty good ones.

Even the birthday dinosaur cake is yummy  ….

… but that’s only because it promotes satanism.

Jessica Eckerdt of Queen Creek, Arizona, sent an email to Costco.

“I was extremely shocked and upset to see a demonic symbol written clear as day on my six-year-old son’s birthday cake. What was supposed to be a whimsical dinosaur became something very distasteful. I was extremely surprised at Costco for allowing such an inappropriate joke be sold to an unsuspecting victim.”

Having trouble find it?

It’s the 666 that the dinosaur legs make.

Personally, I thought it was weird that the dinosaur was pooping birthday.

Y’all, this is my favorite story in a while.

Okay, it starts with congressional Republicans.  That right there ought to clue you that something crazy is fixing to happen.

There is a must-pass omnibus appropriations bill if congress expects to keep their August recess.

Here’s the crazy:  The bill for funding the Interior Department adds a little ditty about displaying Confederate flags on graves in federal cemeteries and the sale of Confederate flags in national park gift stores.

Oh hell, no.

So Democrats have hunkered down and said, “Okay, Boys, let’s play this game.”

Democrats have offered a deal.

House Democrats are floating a legislative deal linking the thorny Confederate flag debate with expanded voting rights. […]

Rep. James Clyburn (S.C.), the third-ranking House Democrat, said Thursday that Democratic leaders will drop their push to attach flag-related amendments to appropriations bills, freeing Republicans to pursue their spending agenda, if GOP leaders will agree to consider an update to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, a central part of which was gutted by the Supreme Court in 2013.

That kinda says, “Oh hell yeah you can fly your crazybutt flags as long everybody knows what you stand for and what we Democrats won’t stand for.”

It’s not that big a stretch.  Let me remind Republicans that President Bush and 98 members of the United States Senate – Republicans included – voted to extend the Voting Rights Act in 2006.  That’s like 7 years ago which might be a tad more contemporary than some damn flag created in 1861.

“[T]he members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the full Democratic Caucus are willing to sit down with the Speaker and work out a way for us to allow the proper display and utilization of … the flag in certain instances if he would only sit down with us and work out an appropriate addressing of the amendments to the Voting Rights Act,” Clyburn said during a press briefing.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

I know this is kinda old news, but now Donald Trump is taking on John McCain.

First shot:

McCain gets upset with Trump’s appearance in Phoenix and says that Trump is hurting the Republican Party by “firing up the crazies.”

Trump trumps:

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump, a Republican running for president, said of McCain. “I like people that weren’t captured. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

Followed by giant cringing sound that is not heard by Trump.  When asked if he owed McCain an apology …

“No, not at all… Very importantly, I got a standing ovation, the biggest ovation they had all weekend, by far. When I left the room, it was a total standing ovation. It was wonderful to see. Nobody was insulted…. I’m very disappointed in John McCain because the vets are horribly treated in this country.”

We can only hope he keeps it up.  I can’t wait to hear what he says about Lindsey Graham.
