Topic 1: Lindell Social Media "Experiment" a Complete Disaster
Mike Lindell's "Frank" is a dumpster fire in action....
1. Technical glitches preventing sign-ups, which he's attributed to "Antifa cyberwarfare."
2. Censorship preventing free speech: The "Big Four" swearwords are banned: the C-word, the N-word, the F-word, and the taking of God's Name in vain. (Actually, I don't mind this one so much, so long as it doesn't devolve into topic censorship.)
3. An argument could be made that it's not truly "social media," largely because the "launch" was so jacked up (see 1).

4. In an act to trumpet the site, Lindell got pranked by a "call" from 45....

Good catch!
Lindell and Jimmy Kimmel have been in a Twitter feud culminating in Lindell appearing on Kimmel’s show next week. Lindell is simply too good to be true...a perfect surrogate for MAGA.

Topic 2: GWB Announces 2020 Presidential Vote
Former President Bush announced that instead of voting for Donald Trump OR Joe Biden, he went off the board with Condoleeza Rice. That, to me, validates my stance that "protest votes" are OK. The very idea that if one votes for "anyone other than the anointed party nominee" is really voting for the other party is utter nonsense. I had BOTH parties tell me that in the last several years. I should NEVER have let my GOP "friends" bully me into voting for that sleazeball Trump just to avoid the "perception" of having voted for Biden (or, even worse, Hillary).

Topic 3: Chiefs TE to Convert Entire Salary to Bitcoin
OK, I wasn't sure if this was one for sports or for politics. I opted for politics because of the controversy over cryptocurrency. Anyways, journeyman Sean Culkin out of Mizzou is planning to do this if he makes the Chiefs this year....
Dude stands to either make a bundle or lose his shirt!

Topic 4: Texas Donkey Faces Calls To Resign
Gary O'Connor, the Lamar (TX) County Chair of the Democratic Party is facing calls to resign after he publicly called Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) an "Oreo" following Scott's rebuttal to President Biden's national address this past week. Apparently, "Oreo" is liberal slang for an African American who has adopted the attitudes of the majority to the detriment of their own heritage. In other words, liberals claim to have the right of control over minority speech. Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) is calling for O'Connor to apologize and resign over this bologna.
Bogus in my book....

Topic 5: Trump FINALLY Gets SOME Form of Vindication
Enough to secure the win? Probably not, and probably not even close. But it IS something to consider.
The Michigan Court of Claims has ruled that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D-Detroit) violated her authority by significantly loosening election rules by fiat rather than in consultation with the State Legislature, specifically regarding voter signature verification.
The article, though, should be taken with a grain of salt, as it comes from a right-wing group, and the language makes that very clear. I would have preferred a non-partisan presentation of this. And I found one from the Detroit News....

Topic 7: Is Biden REALLY on the Upswing in the South?
Perhaps not. A special election was recently held in Texas for the House under rules similar to California's "Top Two" System, whereby there's a mixed primary and the top two contenders, regardless of party, move on to a runoff. Two Republicans were the top two in THIS race, and Susan Wright, wife of the late Rep. Ron Wright (R-TX), one of those two, has received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump (dubious as that may be). Democratic candidates barely totalled 36% of the vote in a District that Trump won by a whopping 3% in 2020. Some are claiming that, in Texas at least, Biden and his cronies had better prepare for a shellacking.

Republicans win in Texas. Is this a surprise?
BTW - I love how Fox says this means Biden is losing popularity but when Republicans lost seats, it wasn't b/c of Trump. They are consistently inconsistent.

Topic 8: #ohflorida
An aspiring homecoming queen has been expelled from school and her mother (an assistant principal at the same school) has been indefinitely suspended pending board hearings to terminate her, and BOTH have been charged with adult-level felonies and misdemeanors in an attempt to rig the homecoming election. Apparently, the girl openly logged into Mom's district account over the span of months (with witnesses!) to cast hundreds of fraudulent votes for herself.
Only in Florida, right?

You are correct, 88. I read it too quickly. Mom is at a grade school in the same district....
