Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary by 10 points and immediately blamed Israel. Bridget’s not buying it.
She breaks down why Massie lost his own constituents, why Israel derangement syndrome is the new woke, and why the anti-woke comedians who’ve gone down this road are starting to sound exactly like the people they used to make fun of.
Also: Trump trolling the right by saying he’ll run for prime minister of Israel. Here’s a new edition of The Dumpster Fire from Bridget Phetasy.
While the victories by Trump-backed candidates are encouraging, the wins by antisemitic and outright Jew-hating Democrats are downright terrifying! Let’s take a look…Here’s more from Lori Colley.
Thomas Massie is the latest lying Libertarian and RINO flake to be thoroughly trounced by Republican voters. The seven-term U.S. Representative from the 4th District of Kentucky lost his primary Tuesday night to Ed Gallrein, who had been endorsed by President Donald Trump. With 96 percent of the vote counted, Gallrein led Massie 57,053 to 47,018 votes, close to a 10 point advantage.
Massie had perturbed Trump more than any other member of Congress. Trump, in fact, had tweeted urging Massie’s defeat and calling him “the worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country.” They had tangled over the Iranian Conflict, the border wall, the Big Beautiful Bill and the Jeffrey Epstein revelations.
Massie’s ouster follows Louisiana rejecting two-term U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican who voted for the impeachment of Trump, and Indiana voters ousting State House members who refused to redistrict the state’s Congressional seats. These successes have emboldened Trump to support Ken Paxton in his bid to oust another RINO — U.S. Sen. John Cronyn of Texas.
The lesson here: Republican voters want legislators who will deliver results, not snotty-nosed RINOs and Libertarians blocking GOP legislation, citing personal whims. In short, we’re taking out the trailer trash. Here’s more from Doug In Exile.
All eyes are on Kentucky as Thomas Massie faces a primary challenge today in the northern 4th Congressional district. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump retweeted his disgust for Massie, calling him “the worst and most unreliable Congressman in the history of our nation.”
Trump’s call for action comes after Louisiana voters handily defeated two-term U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, who had voted in favor of Trump’s impeachment, along with the Democratic extremists. The arrogant and unreptentant Cassidy didn’t even come in a close second — he could barely claim a distant third place showing! In recent weeks, Indiana also weighed in, knocking out nearly all of the state legislators who had voted against redistricting Indiana’s congressional seats as Trump has requested.
One by one, state by state, Trump supporters are making it clear. If you are a RINO, and especially a loud-mouthed RINO who casts shade on Trump, you better have another job lined up. Because Republicans by wide margins will no longer re-elect you to office. Like Mitt Romney, you’re destined to become little more than a forgettable, historical relic. Here’s more from Steve Turley.
Latest polls show Massie trailing Trump-favored candidate Ed Gallrein by 5 or 6 points. Polls close at 6 p,m, so we should know the results fairly early, unless it’s a nailbiter.
Sen Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, has publicly feuded with Dr. Anthony Fauci over his handling of the pandemic. Fauci lied to Congress, denying the role his federal agency played in funding the Covid-19 research at the Wuhan lab in Communist China.
Will Fauci be punished? He is most certainly no better than a common criminal. But we’ll see if our Congress has the will to enforce law or not.
Regardless of whether he serves time, it’s safe to say: What a miserable excuse for the medical profession. Owing to this man’s arrogance, they have lost much of their status among everyday citizens. Here’s more from John Stossel.
Winter Storm Fern swept across much of the nation Saturday but weather watchers say we haven’t seen the worst of the storm yet. That’s because roads had become icy Saturday, causing an increase in traffic accidents, but the ice hadn’t reached the point where it was causing trees and power lines to snap.
That’s much more likely to happen in the early hours Sunday, and continuing to spread through the day. We’ll see the damage from these widespread outages as the weekend winds down, particularly in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Piedmont region of North Carolina.
We’ll also see the heaviest snowfall on Sunday. A band along the Ohio River, from Louisville through the Cincinnati area, is expected to pick up about a foot of snow. Heavier totals will fall from Pennsylvania into New York and points farther east. The Mid Atlantic and New England states could see 12 to 18 inches of snow.
So far, air traffic has been more impacted than ground travel. Some 16,000 flights have been canceled over the next three days. Here’s more from meteorologist Max Velocity.
Even more of the United States is now coming under extreme winter weather warnings. The warnings stretch more than 2000 miles, from Santa Fe in the Rockies all the way east and north to Boston along the Atlantic coastal shores.
Heaviest snowfall totals are projected for the Mid Atlantic states as well as the Midwest states lining the Ohio River — Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois onto Missouri. Heavy snow will fall between I-40 and I-70, with the Midwest states likely receiving at least a foot of snow. Snowfall totals will increase as the storm — dubbed Winter Storm Fern — approaches the Atlantic Ocean, entering Pennsylvania, New York and New England. The snow could pile up as much as two feet in some locales.
The South won’t get whacked by snow, but faces potentially deadly ice storms that could bring down grown trees and powerlines, while sending citizens shivering in homes reeling without energy. The ice will stretch eastward from Texas and Oklahoma, encompassing much of Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia, including the city of Atlanta. Snow already began falling Friday night in the Texas Panhandle, with expectations for ice to slam into Dallas and Tulsa.
Brutal cold weather will aggravate conditions as winds from Canada push chilling temperatures southward. The storm will linger through Sunday, although cold weather will remain entrenched over much of this vast region on Monday and Tuesday. So travel isn’t advised. Best to hunker down at home, and be sure to have supplies of food, water, batteries and life-saving gear.
Here’s a short, but comprehensive report from CBS News. Best to check your local stations for up-to-the-minute news and forecasts for your vicinity.
When It Snows in Texas. Here’s an iconic look at a Panhandle panic from the cartoon King of the Hill. The town of Arlen doesn’t exist, but it’s based on King of the Hill creator Mike Judge’s memories of growing up in Texas, and specifically, the suburbs around Dallas and Ft. Worth.
