THE THESIS: The coming red wave in the elections has nothing to do with the RNC or professional Republicans, it will happen despite them. Plus: the Figuread thinks inflation is hilarious; MSNBC find domestic terrorist mothers in yoga calsses; “Republican” AGs race to surrender to leftists.
THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Matthew 17:14-20: Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” [21] [a]
THE NEWS & COMMENT:
[AUDIO] - Jenn Psaki did some acting for the White House spit-swapping with the media event
[AUDIO] - The figurehead thinks radically increasing costs and inflation is hilarious
The Free Beacon reported that Republican AGs are ready to flee the organization . . . GOP critics say the organization has become a legal "deep state" that allows liberal career staff in red-state AG offices to coordinate multi-state actions with limited interference from their Republican bosses. And they fear the settlement funds that NAAG administers have devolved into left-wing litigation slush funds.
Nebraska attorney general Doug Peterson (R.) will take over as NAAG's new executive director when he leaves office later this year, according to two sources with knowledge of NAAG's plans. The Peterson hiring has not been previously reported . . . Peterson is expected to be little more than a caretaker. He's in the twilight of his career, and he will be joined by a deputy who will likely take over in the medium term—Vermont attorney general T.J. Donovan, a Democrat.
Peterson is popular and respected in the AG community, but his more conservative brethren worry he'll be a stooge for NAAG's liberal staff. And with Peterson's deep experience as a trial lawyer, conservatives fear he'll keep NAAG's hands in the public pocket. The organization has landed tens of millions of dollars from nationwide settlements involving car emissions and the opioid crisis, incensing Republicans who say that money belongs to victims of wrongdoing.
"Doug is remarkably well liked personally," said a second senior official in a Republican AG office. "But no one seriously considers Doug to be a conservative firebrand who could reform a left-leaning organization, especially as he enters the beginning of his retirement."
The former official characterized Peterson's hiring as "kabuki theater" and noted he has a natural successor in Donovan, a "young, mid-career liberal."
AND, she's a wanna-be yoga teacher! … which MSNBC says is where right-wing extremists recruit moms to become domestic terrorists
MSNBC: How right-wing extremists weaponize the idea of motherhood; Women play a more significant role in far-right extremist movements than is often acknowledged
A new report on the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack published this month by researchers at George Washington University detailed the role that women have played in American far-right extremism over the past century, including how many are leaning heavily into their identities as mothers to justify their engagement and to recruit and mobilize others.
