bo bo says she is not screwing him

Lauren Boebert shuts down rumor of romance with right-wing musician

News that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) filed to divorce her husband of nearly 20 years has fueled rumors about her love life, and the far-right congresswoman shot down one of them on Monday..

Boebert told The Daily Beast that rumors linking her romantically to right-wing recording artist and pastor Sean Feucht are untrue.

“How can I be with a man with better hair than me?” she joked.

Feucht, who is married with four children, denied the rumors too, tweeting on Friday “This is false. And it’s defamatory.”

Black newborn baby taken from mother who smoked weed at a family barbecue: report

A Black woman had her newborn baby removed from her care by children's services in New York City after she legally smoked cannabis, according to a report.

Chanetto Rivers has filed a lawsuit against the Administration for Children's Services, which she said directed the hospital where she delivered her son not to allow her to take her baby home -- although the agency isn't supposed to remove children because a parent used marijuana unless they found it had impaired the child, reported the New York Times.

“While ACS is tasked with protecting New York State’s interest in the welfare of children, ACS has long known — through the State’s own data — that Black families, like Ms. Rivers and [her son], face separation and surveillance by ACS at much higher levels than white families," the lawsuit alleges.

The suit claims the BronxCare Health System hospital where Rivers gave birth tested her and her baby for drugs without consent and reported the positive test to a state agency, which then triggered the ACS investigation and the instruction not to release the infant to his mother.

'Is this funny?' Marjorie Taylor Greene flips out after witness laughs at her during House hearing

During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on "left wing violence" on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed that "we experienced some left-wing extremism of our own" as the hearing was underway.

Greene said that a left-wing group of protesters were arrested outside the hearing room. "You kinda can't even make this up," Greene said, claiming that "George Soros funded" the protest outside.

Greene went on to say that since members at the hearing brought up the subject of white supremacy, she wanted to point out that the real white supremacists are people who support abortion, since "20 million Black babies" have been aborted in America "since Roe vs Wade."

As Greene was speaking, an expert witness at the hearing -- executive director of Integrity First for America Amy Spitalnick -- apparently began to laugh, which clearly angered Greene.

Georgia fake-elector defendants accept immunity in Trump probe

May 5 (Reuters) - Prosecutors for Georgia's Fulton County have granted immunity to at least eight people under investigation for conspiring to overturn Georgia's vote in the 2020 presidential election, according to a court filing on Friday.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to disclose this summer whether former President Donald Trump and others will be charged with crimes related to interfering with the 2020 election.

Attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow represented 10 of the 16 suspected fake electors who may have offered to cast electoral college votes for Trump even though Democrat Joe Biden won Georgia and the right to all of the state's 16 electoral college votes.

Debrow said in a court filing on Friday that prosecutors "made actual, written offers of immunity to these eight electors in April 2023 but not to the remaining two." That led to the non-immunized clients getting new lawyers, Debrow said in the filing.

Also in the filing, Debrow said, "All eight of the electors who were offered immunity accepted."

Talking with my maggot relative re: gun reform....

This person suggested that we don't need gun control because then citizens couldn't resist the government. I then pointed out that we live in an area that has border patrol checkpoints that could totally choke off any citizen movements. I then asked "what will you do when they cut off water, power, and cellphones?" This person is totally crazy to think that "they" could take on the federal government and the US military.

These people are off the charts.
