I am in a meeting but I did not want you to miss this.  Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.

Awww, shucks, Blake Farenthold got a letter from the Federal Elections Commission saying he has to return a whole big pile of his campaign contributions.

This is just for one month.

To see all 4 of them, you can see the missive from the FEC right here.  They are attached after the letter.

Sorry, Ducky Boy, but you can’t take illegal contributions and you can’t sexually harass a staff member.  What’s there left for you to do in Washington?

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

You know how Republicans are constantly saying that we folks who hate for people to get mowed down with a semi-automatic weapon ate playing politics?

Well, they need a mirror.

Under the “Name One, You Old Witch” category, we have this.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of politics in it. And it’s interesting that so many of these people that commit the mass murders end up being Democrats, but we don’t want to, the media doesn’t talk about that either.”

— Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY)

Under the “Don’t Show The Pain” category, we have this.

“Many in legacy media love mass shootings… Crying white mothers are ratings gold.”

— NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch

And the final one for this evening is from the Prince of Twitter.

Crooked Hillary said that I want guns brought into the school classroom. Wrong!

Donald Trump, May 21st, 2016.

Please feel free to use the comment section to add any you have.

Thanks to BillyJoe for the heads up.

From here, these people were listed as of Jan 18:

• President Donald J. Trump
• Sheriff David Clarke, Jr.
• Katie Pavlich
• Senator Ted Cruz
• Mark Geist

Now, from here, only these are listed:

• Sen. Ted Cruz
• Mark Geist
• Rep. Richard Hudson
• Tomi Lahren

Hey, ya gotta hand it to Ted Cruz – he’s a genuine idiot.  He’s the only senator to hang around.  Damn, that’s bean dip dumb.

Thanks to S Grey for the heads up.

Oh Florida, you suck.

I kinda suspect this ain’t gonna solve the problem.

With the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High shooting still looming large, its students in the Capitol to lobby for gun controls, the Florida House overwhelmingly passed a measure Wednesday its sponsor said aimed at bringing “light” to the schools.

The bill (HB 839) would require all public schools to post the state motto, “In God We Trust,” in a “conspicuous place.”

And they wash their hands and was away, even though the last shooting was at a Baptist Church here in Texas where I suspect there were a multitude of God things on the damn walls.  Well, at least they died trusting God.

Okay, I’m not ready to predict that congress will be regained in November.

However, I do recognize that something is happening.

• In deep-red Kentucky, Democrat Linda Belcher sailed to victory in the state’s 49th House District seat with 68% of the vote on Tuesday.
  .
• Belcher’s win marked an 86-point swing from the 2016 general election, when President Donald Trump won the district with 72% of the vote.
  .
• This is the 37th state legislative seat Democrats have flipped from red to blue since Trump’s election.

All you can say to that is holy damn cow.  That right there is really something.

So, it appears to me that the only thing we have to fight in November is the damn Russians stealing our elections because the Republicans are handing it to us.

I never dreamed I’d ever say Go Kentucky!
