If you’re Louie Gohmert and you have a serious opponent this year, you need some deep-pocketed donors. Seriously, if it ain’t five numbers, you can forget approaching his throne to kiss his Jesus ring.

So, it was nice to discover that male housewives were helping Louie.

Just kidding!  John Soules is actually CEO of John Soules Foods – a major supplier of food service to public schools throughout Texas.

But, I’m sure John helps his wife with the housework while fooling people who are looking up Louie’s contributions.

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

And Alfredo found another one!

Come to find out he’s the owner and president of Texas Timberjack.  And then come to find out, Texas Timberjack has gone into partnership with Liugong Dressta, which is a Chinese company.  I wonder if them folks out there in East Texas know that their congressdope is taking money that probably started off in China.

On Saturday, Richard Parker laid out a great argument for restoring our Republic, using history as his guide.  He’s virulently anti-Trumpism, but also opposes Bernie, and for good reason.  Tough read, but a good one.

Five Thirty Eight has posted a Super Tuesday simulation so you can pick your scenario, and now that Buttigieg and Steyer have finally dropped out, the various scenarios are much clearer to see. Warren, Bloomberg, and Klobuchar supporters will hate this exercise since it won’t let you pick an individual primary simulation that has  less than .5% chance of winning.  I couldn’t come up with a scenario that shows a path to the nomination for Warren and Klobuchar, but if you pick Bloomberg even in states he’s trailing, the simulation gives a path for him to at least have a seat at the table during the convention.  I played with the model for a bit, and was able to come up with wins for both Sanders and Biden.  The model recalculates probabilities with each selection, so it’s interesting to play around with it.  If you look at their primary forecast, “No One” is leading since there are still too many zero percent candidates diluting the votes of actual candidates.  Bloomberg’s entry has also lowered the odds for everyone.  Once Warren and Klobuchar finally drop out, the battle against Bloomberg will begin in earnest, and that will be a battle royal.

If you’re in a Super Tuesday state, be sure to vote tomorrow if you haven’t already.

I just watched Mike Bloomberg’s $1.5 million three minute teevee whatever the hell that was.

So he told us two things that we already knew.  That you need a smart, sane person leading this country and we don’t have that.

Okay Mike, whatcha gonna do about that?  What’s your idea?  Where should we start?  We can’t fart around until January just waiting to see what you’d do.

What a waste of one point five million dollars.

So Buttigieg is dropping out. I’m proud of what he accomplished and I’m going to miss him and all he had to offer the conversation. Not as much as I miss Kamala, mind you. But, I’ll miss him.

16 men 0 women because they couldn’t find a woman more knowledgeable than Larry Kudlow when it came to epidemiology or crisis management.

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
