“Get me on the stage and get your popcorn ready.” — Chris Christie
Don’t sell Chris Christie short
Peggy Noonan calls him “a wholly undervalued executive talent.”
“People forget what a good governor he was …. In eight years (2010-18) in deep blue New Jersey he capped property taxes, used the line-item veto to limit spending, increased school funding, got more charter schools, and got the state through the true disaster of superstorm Sandy.
“… He won public-employee pension reform … despite huge and intense public union opposition.”
And reformed Camden police: “Ten years later murder is down 63%, shootings down 68%, and robbery down 70%. No violence after George Floyd.”

For some time now, American politics has been similar to Cher’s marriage to Gregg Allman. As she herself described their brief union: “It was like doing Disneyland on acid.”
RIP, Gregg.

I have a feeling thar rojo’s staff is gathering at a local pub to discuss their next career moves. I still believe that there are still real conservatives out there. They need to stand up and take their party back.

Evidence? Who needs evidence? Everyone knows the election was stolen and Trump actually won in a landslide. This Rusty Bower guy must be a lying commie. The chair of the WI Assembly’s election committee Janel Brandtjen has much better information (and she’s not a commie).
Here in Wisconsin, we have a very capable, but mild-mannered and impartial investigator turning up important new evidence every day. And the bill so far is less than a million bucks!
Run, Trump, run.

“Prepare for another Summer of Love to Hate.”
C’mon AC, is it beyond the realm of possibility that they might take a little time off for fiery but mostly peaceful attempts to pack the court…?
Anywho, despicable Lefty p!$$ants are like two-year-olds with poopy pants when they don’t get their way.
Their way tilts in the direction of 3rd World $#!tholes where justices are compelled to adjudicate legal proceedings while wearing hoods…necessary to prevent them from being identified which would put themselves and their families in harm’s way.
Lefty Mantra: Your Speech Is Hatred…Our Hatred Is Speech!
