Joe Biden's decision to focus on freedom as the theme of his 2024 campaign is quite shrewd.

By emphasizing this fundamental American value, Biden taps into a moral framework deeply embedded in the American psyche. It's about time!

Two abusive conmen faced serious accountability for their actions on the same day. That got me thinking about what they have in common. It turns out to be a lot, and it carries with it important lessons going forward. I explain in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/two-peas-in-the-gop-pod?sd=pf

The Clarence Thomas bribery scandal widens:

—Leonard Leo and his organization had business before the Supreme Court.
—They sent large sums of money to Clarence Thomas’s wife.
—They deliberately removed her name from the paperwork.

It’s time for the US Attorney to open a bribery investigation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/05/04/leonard-leo-clarence-ginni-thomas-conway/

Went to the funeral of a WWII veteran today. A heavy machine-gunner in the 100th Infantry Division, he helped retake France in 1944. Purple Heart. Two bronze service stars. His division liberated over 100 French villages & towns, never once retreating. Legit war hero.

He was 98.

And he was Jewish.

And he was my father-in-law.

And anyone advocating we teach "both sides" of the Holocaust or questioning the ethics of our fighting Nazis with every weapon we had is asking for a punch in the face.

@Bertrecords i'm talking about the blue check. I was verified. Didn't like having it was there because some of my think I was an idiot and paying for it. In any event I'm keeping the account so someone else doesn't take the name. And then the longshot, hope that someone buys it and brings back some semblance of sanity.
