Oh Lord, Georgia, y’all.

Theresa Lyons, a member of the Pauling County Board of Education, found herself at a Board meeting discussing school in the time of Covid.

No, seriously.

Seriously, you can see it for yourself.

Honey, you can just see her doing the spic ‘n span motion with her hands and announcing, “problem solved!”

Holy cow. So we expose more children to the sick child but, by gawd, we beat those pencilheads with their fancy pants stethoscopes and thermometers over at the County Department of Health.

Thanks to Alan in Austin for the heads up.

Franklin Graham has clearly taken sides in the Covid battle.

He’s holding a “prayer march” on September 26 in Washington, DeeCee., starring … ta da!  Franklin Graham!  He’s hoping a million people will show up and do a two hour walk while praying on the mall.

Ya know, with the people meeting in Sturgis and this deal here, maybe herd immunity ain’t such a bad idea.

Graham tweets —

I’m announcing today that on Sept. 26, I’m going to be in our nation’s capital to pray—& I hope thousands of families, pastors, & churches will join me! Our nation is in trouble, & we need God’s help.

Because Lord knows hat Donald Trump ain’t helping the situation any at all.

I wonder if Graham has an explanation of why America got to be such a godless craphole of a country under Donald Trump’s leadership?

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Well, lookie here.

Jessica Denson is a former Hispanic outreach director for the Trump campaign.  She filed a sexual discrimination lawsuit against them.  To strike fear in the soul of any woman who claims that the Trump campaign did anything wrong, they have sued her for violation of her NDA with anything Trump. The suit is for $1.5 million.

Under her agreement, Denson was not allowed to disparage Trump during her time with the campaign “and at all times thereafter,” and she cannot disclose whatever “Mr. Trump insists remain private or confidential,” as defined by him.

All times thereafter?

I can understand why Trump has these NDAs.  The only person he has ever come close to establishing a long term relationship with is Roger Stone.  Everybody he meets eventually becomes his enemy.  Face it, he can’t even trust his kids not to turn on him and that’s why he’s never given up control of his businesses.

Denson is fighting back and has already cost close to a million dollars for Trump’s lawyers to keep Trump’s hand over Denson’s mouth.

Ya know, we ought to feel a little shame about gloating over the imminent demise of the NRA.  Everyone should be extending their thoughts and prayers to Wayne LaPierre because he is apparently suffering from a serious medical condition.

This news was buried in the middle of the New York Attorney General’s complaint:

320. 320. LaPierre also used the pass-through arrangement to conceal private travel and trips that were largely personal in nature. Upon information and belief, LaPierre directed Ackerman to pay for expenses related to NASCAR events, country music events, and even medical visits, and bill those through to the NRA. For example, in 2018, LaPierre asked the president of Mercury Group [Tony Makris] to accompany him on a visit to a medical clinic. In connection with this visit, the president of Mercury Group and LaPierre flew on a private charter and stayed at the Four Seasons for several days. The cost of this hotel for both the president of Mercury Group and LaPierre was paid for by Ackerman, but ultimately borne by the NRA. The lodging alone cost the NRA $9,550. The NRA also directly paid for the private travel associated with this visit to the medical clinic.

The name of the medical clinic wasn’t included in the complaint, but one can only surmise that LaPierre and Makris went to the California Health & Longevity Institute diagnostic clinic in Westlake Village, California and stayed at the nearby Four Season.

Seems like the kind of place you would go with your wife or girlfriend, but then LaPierre and Makris have a long-term personal relationship.  And there’s more abut their relationship here.

Tony Makros took LaPierre “on free hunting safaris.”

I’m sure that Mr. Makris was a source of great comfort to Mr. LaPierre in his time of need even though they have since had a spat.

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

Okay, so as all of you know, Jerry Falwell, Jr. showed up on Instagram looking like this:

… and the biggest thing he was worried about was the adult beverage in his hand?

Okay, well, here we are.

But, he went on the electric radio and apologized for it.

“I’ve apologized to everybody,” Falwell said in an interview on the Morningline show on WLNI 105.9FM, a local radio station in Lynchburg, Va., Falwell’s home town and that of the Liberty campus. “And I’ve promised my kids I’m going to try to be — I’m gonna try to be a good boy from here on out.”

He explained that the woman is his wife’s assistant. She is listed as an employee of Liberty University. And there’s a simple explanation of how this happened.

Falwell described the scene leading up to the photo. “She’s pregnant so she couldn’t get her — she couldn’t get her pants up,” he said. “And I was like, trying to like — my — I had on pair of jeans that I hadn’t worn in a long time so I couldn’t get mine zipped either. And so — and so — I just put my belly — I just put my belly out like hers.”

Yeah, happens to me all the time.

Y’all, we have to quit saying that Republicans can’t make the bar any lower.  They see that as a personal challenge.

Elliott Abrams, who was convicted of misleading Congress about the Iran-Contra affair, has been named.a special representative to Iran.

To refresh your memory.

He pleaded guilty to lying to Congress in 1991 as a part of the Iran-Contra affair and was later pardoned by then-President George H.W. Bush. Abrams, who was assistant secretary of state at the time, admitted he had unlawfully withheld information from congressional committees in 1986 when he testified about the secret Contra supply network and his role in soliciting a $10 million contribution for anti-Sandinista rebels in Nicaragua. Abrams also served in the George W. Bush administration and was an advocate of the Iraq War.

He should still be in jail.

As my friend Deb T says, “Next up,  Yogi the Bear: Secretary of Picnic Baskets.”
