Anti-Trump Republican sums up Gym Jordan

https://twitter.com/JackGrodeska/status/1714464368039961002

For the record, the majority of the citizens of the United States of America, especially real Republicans, are not, as suggested by Representative Keith Self, standing with Jim Jordan. We want a Republican to hold the title and position of Speaker of the House. We do not want MAGA extremists and rebels in Congress. Jim Jordan is not a Republican. He is, by no means, a Conservative. He is a MAGA rebel, an insurrectionist who, along with Donald Trump the Muscovite President, sought to overthrow the government of the United States because Trump could not handle losing the 2020 election fair and square. Jim Jordan’s legislation(s) has NEVER passed in 16 years! He requested a Presidential pardon prior to his acts of sedition on 1/6/21. Jim Jordan will do anything to please Donald Trump. Jim Jordan is a sad clown who hates our country and wants to see it burnt to the ground. He targets Political opponents with his” investigations” which lack solid evidence and are part of the trump vengeance tour.
@Jim_Jordan should never be allowed to be anywhere near the Capitol let alone a congressman or Speaker. He is a Putin Fluffer with the brain power of Cheese Whiz.

Curt Schilling - major league asshole.

The Red Sox released a statement on behalf of former pitcher Tim Wakefield and his wife, Stacy, on Thursday. The team issued a press release after questions were raised about Wakefield's health when Curt Schilling, another former Red Sox pitcher and ex-teammate of Wakefield's, publicly disclosed information without the family's permission.

Here's the Red Sox's statement in full:

"We are aware of the statements and inquiries about the health of Tim and Stacy Wakefield. Unfortunately, this information has been shared publicly without their permission. Their health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease. Tim and Stacy are appreciative of the support and love that has always been extended to them and respectfully ask for privacy at this time."

Schilling referenced some specifics about Wakefield's health this week on a podcast. The Red Sox statement does not confirm any specific condition, so we'll leave it there, but does note that the Wakefields are set to "navigate treatment" and working to "tackle this disease." As such, it appears that Wakefield is dealing with a very serious medical situation.

Tim is said to have a brain cancer diagnosis, his wife is battling pancreatic cancer.

Schilling is a hard-core Trumper and anti-Semite. I’m surprised he didn’t blame the cancer on the Covid shot.

Ohio high school coach resigns after team's 'Nazi' playcall

BROOKLYN, Ohio -- An Ohio high school football coach resigned Monday after his team used racist and antisemitic language to call out plays during a game last week.

Brooklyn High School coach Tim McFarland and his players repeatedly used the word "Nazi" as a playcall in a game against Beachwood High School. Beachwood, a Cleveland suburb, is roughly 90% Jewish, according to the latest survey published in 2011 by the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.

The Brooklyn team stopped using the term in the second half of the game after Beachwood threatened to pull its players from the field, according to a statement from Beachwood Schools Superintendent Robert Hardis. However, several Brooklyn players continued to direct racial slurs at Beachwood players during the game, the statement read.

McFarland handed in his notice of resignation Monday morning. Brooklyn Schools Superintendent Ted Caleris said in a statement that McFarland "expresses his deepest regret" and that he and the school apologize for "hurtful and harmful speech" that will "not be tolerated."

Amazing that this guy thought to call this, even more amazing the players actually doing it.

First Bob Ross TV painting, completed in a half an hour, goes on sale for nearly $10 million

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — What would Bob Ross think?

The artist who brought painting to the people, with works completed for PBS viewers in less than a half-hour with little more than a large bristle brush, putty knife and plenty of encouragement, certainly wouldn’t have envisioned one of his works going up for sale for nearly $10 million.

But that’s the price a Minneapolis gallery is asking for “A Walk in the Woods,” the first of more than 400 paintings that Ross produced on-air for his TV series “The Joy of Painting.”

“It is season one, episode one of what you would call the rookie card for Bob Ross,” Ryan Nelson, who owns the gallery, Modern Artifact, said of the work created in the show’s debut, which aired Jan. 11, 1983.

Episode here. I love watching Bob, but I honestly thought it was one of the worst ones he ever did.

Kristi and Corey sitting in a tree... 😘

A rising Republican star tipped by many to be Donald Trump's running mate should he win the presidential nomination has been involved in a clandestine affair for years, multiple sources tell DailyMail.com.

Married South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, 51 – who stresses her belief in 'family values' – and Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski, who is also married, began carrying on in 2019, if not before.

Now news of the relationship threatens to wreck Noem's chances of joining Trump's ticket in a potential rematch with President Joe Biden.

Neither denied the affair when asked by DailyMail.com. The Governor issued a statement attacking us for the timing of the article, while Lewandowski did not respond to a request for comment

Son of prominent conservative activist found guilty on Jan 6-related charges

Leo Brent Bozell IV, the son of conservative activist and media critic Brent Bozell, was found guilty of 10 charges related to breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6, POLITICO, Kyle Cheney reported on Friday.

In 2021, Bozell, initially faced charges of disorderly conduct, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and obstructing an official proceeding.

Judge John D. Bates said Bozell’s testimony was “simply not credible.”

"Bozell pushed past police lines and entered the Capitol, after smashing two windows with a metal object. He was also convicted of two counts of destruction of govt property," Cheney wrote in an X (formerly Twitter) post Friday.

"He later surged to the Senate floor and, while there, forced a C-Span camera to face the floor so it wouldn’t capture rioters’ movements. In run up to Jan. 6 he texted associates about desire to 'take the Capitol and hang those pedo-satanistic traitors,'" Cheney wrote.

His dad is a real RW douche so this comes as no surprise

August 25, 2023

Well, here they all are.

All 19 co-defendants have turned themselves in to the Fulton County jail ahead of Friday's noon deadline, including former President Donald Trump.

Trump, on Thursday evening, became the 12th of the 19 indicted people to surrender and made history as the first former president to pose for a mugshot.

Five more, including former Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark, were booked overnight. And the final two co-defendants surrendered on Friday morning.

District Attorney Fani Willis has charged all of them with racketeering, alleging they engaged in a 'criminal enterprise' to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 election victory in Georgia.

None of the 19 have yet entered pleas, since the arraignment process is separate from the booking process in Georgia. Arraignments are expected to begin the week of September 5th.

Trevian Kutti, a former publicist for Kayne West, and Stephen Lee, a police chaplain from Illinois, were the final two to surrender.
