Okay, please feel free to enjoy democracy while Louie Gohmert defends his “good friends,” Diamond and Silk.  They are such victims. And Louie feels so bad for them that he gave them $5,000. to “entertain” his event.

And then he’s paying an awful lot to feed himself in the Member’s Dining Room.

And there’s the usual kickback to Trump.

Trump International Hotel 725 5th Ave  New York, New York 10022  05/17/2019 Hotel 995.10

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

I thought we were probably stuck with Trump’s tariffs until …

Well, we can’t be having that, can we?  Come to find out, two of the major Bible printers in America outsource the printing to China. Evangelical preachers hand out these Bibles to get donations back. If the Bible starts costing more than the donations, these poor preachers will have to give up their mansions and fancy cars.

This article claims that 150 million Bibles are printed every year in China and shipped to the United States.  Ya know, I counted and that’s plenty. The way I figure it, we only need two years worth to cover everybody. What are people doing with the Bibles already here and handed out for free by preachers?  Burning them or something?

And get this free walk for Donald Trump.

HarperCollins Christian Publishing President and CEO Mark Schoenwald recently told the U.S. Trade Representative that the company believes the Trump administration “never intended to impose a ‘Bible Tax’ on consumers and religious organizations,” according to a transcript of his remarks provided by the publisher.

He initiated a Bible tax but, y’all, he didn’t mean to do it.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Alabama, of damn course.

There was a road rage incident that concluded with somebody needing to die.

Erica Cole, a 31 year old pistol packing momma, got mad enough to kill someone and she certainly gets points for trying.  But, instead of killing the other person for taking up too much of the road or for trying to pass in the right lane or for driving with their blinkers on when they had no intention of turning, she shot her husband instead. In. The. Damn. Head.

He is in the hospital in stable condition and she’s still claiming it was an accident.

She was arrested on charges of attempted murder, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and exceeding the Alabama pissed-off guidelines.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Just coincidence? Is London giving Trump the bird?

I do not know who the editor of the Times of London is, but they deserve a raise.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

I knew Fox News would find a way to blame Barack Obama for Epstein’s plea deal with Acosta.

President Obama was elected six months AFTER the plea deal. But, as we know, Obama has magical powers to make things happen even before he was born in Kenya.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

When I saw this chick click ….

I had this vision of some woman who predicted earthquakes when her left knee got sore or her cat started acting weird.  You know, like your granny could always tell when it was going to rain because her elbow started acting up.  It seems to me that’s what you think of when you see “Earthquake Lady” in quotation marks.

But no.  Oh hell no.

Here’s the “Earthquake Lady” —

Dr. Lucy Jones is a renowned seismologist, who rarely depends on her cat to predict earthquakes.  Unless, of course she’s in a real bind because her husband’s boss is coming to dinner and she has to whip up a damn turkey or something.

Isn’t this kinda like if you called Neil deGrasse Tyson the “Full Moon Fellow.”

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
