Apparently, Troy Nehls (T-Tex) had one too many pops the other night, and got on the wrong bus back home.  When he woke up, he was in E. Palestine Ohio, where the chemical laden train derailed last week.  Him falling asleep on the wrong bus is the only logical conclusion one can draw since he represents a radically gerrymandered district in Texas, not Ohio, and he has no business there.  Since he happened to be there anyway, he apparently decided to bring his message of good will from the great state of Texas to the townspeople by lecturing them (and YouTube) asserting that the water is safe to drink, air is safe to breathe, and everything is Oooooooookkkaaaaaaayyyy!  I wasn’t aware that Nehls had advanced degrees in environmental sciences and worked for the EPA.  If you can stomach it, here he is showing people he doesn’t know in a place he doesn’t live that the water is fine to drink.

Rep. Troy Nehls is in E. Palestine and assures everyone that the city’s water is safe to drink, then demonstrates it by drinking a cup of tap water from the China Cafe. “The Fire Chief, everybody says the water is clean to drink.” pic.twitter.com/TFYcMWEZhF

Love the cute personalized vest he’s wearing just to make sure everyone knows who he is.  What is it about Republicans today where they run around all over the country sticking their noses in to other states’ business?  Paxton, Abbott, and Paxton are well know for it.  Added to clowns like DeSantis and Graham, Nehls is in good company as far as arrogant showboats go.

Go home, Troy.  People in Ohio don’t need (or want) your “help”.

South Carolina’s governor Nikki Haley has officially chimed in as the first TFGist to try to out-TFG TFG as she announced her candidacy in the 2024 presidential.

There are sure to be a score more.

But crafty ol’ Nikki executed an early end around this week as she had on stage San Antonio Texas’ own Pastor John Hagee to introduce her in a rally this past Wednesday.

Pastor of the Cornerstone Church in SA, Hagee has been the darling of Republican politics when he has not been called out for giving Adolf Hitler credit for Jewish repopulation of The Holy Land.

In 2008, presidential candidate John McCain disavowed Hagee’s support for that little bit of anti-semitism.

But that tidbit of information, which has been common knowledge for years now, has not fazed Haley, who gladly accepted his ringing endorsement and admitted that she wants to be Hagee “when [she] grow[s] up”.

Haley is 51 years old.

So Nikki Haley scored the first coup of the pre-presidential. With Hagee clearly in her corner, who could be next? Could it be David Duke or Viktor Orban?

Could it be…Satan?

Okay, you’re reading a story in the Washington Post right now that says Alex Jones’ filings in the bankruptcy court says that he is “Holding firearms for certain January 6th participants.”

It’s a joke.  A very bad joke that the Washington Post fell for hook, line, and sinker.

Okay, the questionnaire for the bankruptcy court asks Jones to “identify property he owns or controls for somebody else.” And Jones, who continues to disrupt and poke fun at the judicial system responds thusly,

Crap like this has been Jones’ way of demeaning the courts and the media throughout this ordeal.

Think of it this way, just when you think Jones has hired every lawyer on the bottom of the writ twit stoopid barrel, he digs deeper and finds lawyers who let this slip past them in filings. It will probably get them some hefty sanctions because judges are rarely thrilled with people signing documents and swearing to them when they contain made-up “jokes.”

The filing, on the whole, is significantly deficient. So, focus on that, not the jokes.

Okay, I just got sent the long form of the joke.  Please note that everything else on it is left blank, unlike any other positions or payments he filed.

Excuse the typos and click on the pictures to make them full size.  I wanted to get this up quickly.

I guess you gotta know Jones and how many other times he’s done stuff like this.  My best guess – and this is just a guess – is that it was Jones’ employees Owen Shroyer or Bob Dew who did this because they are both arrogant little punks.

Here’s the deal – I am not a big football fan just like I am not a big wrestling fan.  We are asking young men to sacrifice their brains for our entertainment. (Booing is allowed, just not in my presence.)

However, I like half time.  Mainly because it pisses off the rightwing.

And Boy Howdy – this year’s halftime did not disappoint.

First, Lauren Boebert just had herself a hissy fit over a song written in honor of President Abraham Lincoln’s birthday 123 years ago.  I guess Boebert is still peeved over the whole Dixieland thing.

Well, I don’t hear her complaining about America the Beautiful being sung so I guess that’s okay.

And then there’s this guy on Fox News giving the secret meaning of Rihanna’s dance.

Rihanna’s performance was apparently satanic: “She’s dressed in red, and she falls from the sky surrounded by people dressed in white. Like angels? Do we know the story from the Bible? When Satan fell from heaven and he brought down those fallen angels with them? pic.twitter.com/CUy3vcscMT

I just love how self righteous this dude is.

My friend Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen sent another You Tube he thought about.  It’s 70 years old and still relevant today.

Okay, no more Super Bowl for dumb people.

This is how used we are to killing kids.

A Michigan State University student who was on campus during Monday’s deadly shooting is also a survivor of the Sandy Hook massacre.

Jaqueline Matthews, 21, is originally from Newtown, Connecticut.

She was in 6th grade when the shooting happened in 2012 and is currently majoring in international law at MSU.

“I don’t ever think you ever get over something so traumatic or so tragic, even if it’s not in your community,” she said. “I think things like this, people feel and it never really goes away.”

She suffers from a PTSD fracture in her back due to crouching and hiding in a corner during the Sandy Hook massacre.

I just don’t know what to say.

Okay, we have a saying in Texas about people who are a bad shot. Mostly, we just call it hunting Dick Cheney style, but there’s also this one: Honey, he couldn’t hit the side of a barn, even if he was shooting from inside.

So here we have an airplane that cost about $30 million dollars to build and about $85,325 an hour to operate. Each Sidewinder missile cost $400,000. Each. No buy one, get one free deals on this stuff.

And this little Cloud Captain fired and freekin’ missed. (I get to call the Air Force names because my family has a service history with them going back to the Army Air Corp.)  It was pretty much a stationary target and they had been close enough to know it was octagonal.

They still don’t know where the sidewinder landed.

Aunt Thelma’s solution is looking better and better.  Crop dusting is a helluva lot more complicated than most people think. But, she wouldn’t charge you but maybe $100 an hour and that includes her plane, her ammo and delivery system, and a really cool leather aviator cap.  You don’t get to keep the hat, though. Aunt Thelma wears that – sometimes even on bad hair days.

They missed.  Holy cow.  A lot of shocking, but short on the awe.
