'dark Money' Provision Dropped From Tax Bill

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts last Thursday, and Republicans are really not taking it well. House Speaker Mike Johnson wants the Supreme Court to wave its magic wand and make the whole thing go away. VP wannabes like South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem took to social media to whine about the unfairness of it all.

Rep. Stephanie Borowicz (R-Clinton) objected, “just another step by the governor and Democrats to have the government provide everything for you, which leads to communism." Borowicz has a litany of stupidity attached to her, including recently trying to decertify the election results in Pennsylvania, introducing a resolution calling COVID God's "punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins," and introducing a bill modeled after Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law.

House Bill 851 would create a grant program to provide public schools with funding to distribute menstrual hygiene products free to students.

Remember when conservatives told us they were the party of family values? I know this will shock you, but they lied. A couple of Hunter Biden's family members have rallied around him while he faces court proceedings. That's what families do. First, Fox News's Jesse Watters took issue with a Black friend of President Joe Biden's showing up to court to show his support.

A new Quinnipiac poll in Georgia finds Donald Trump leads Joe Biden in the presidential race, 49% to 44%. In a six-way hypothetical race that includes other candidates, Trump leads with 43%, Biden receives 37%, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. receives 8%, Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver receives 3%, Cornel West receives 3%, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 2%. Also interesting: When voters were asked how the guilty verdict impacts their vote for Trump, 22% say it makes them less likely to vote for him, while 23% say it makes them more likely to vote for him, and 54% say it doesn’t make a difference to their vote.

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty actually called Rep. Andy Biggs to the carpet over Republicans' fixation on obtaining the Robert Hur Tapes for the sole purpose of trying to embarrass President Biden. Rep. Biggs was named by Trumper Ali Alexander as helping to plan the January 6th, "Stop The Steal," rally that led to the infamous insurrection at the US Capitol. As a member of Congress who helped foment treason, he will do anything to continue to overthrow and undermine this president.

The ironically named True The Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht isn't taking Salem Media Group yanking 2,000 Mules from its platforms, and the apology they issued very well. And really, it's Engelbrecht who should be apologizing, too, after her group told a Georgia judge in February that it doesn't have any evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the 2020 general election and the runoff two months later. Dinesh D'Souza's widely debunked film used research from True the Vote as a basis to prove its false claims of ballot stuffing. "On Friday, we were surprised to read that Salem Media had announced that they had settled in a lawsuit that was filed several years ago by an individual that appeared in the 2000 Mules movie and that individual sued Salem Media and Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote and myself and Gregg Phillips," she said, Media Matters reports. Engelbrecht sees a conspiracy theory behind the well-deserved apology.
