Nikki Haley was making some headway. But she is getting a little ridiculous. And for trumpsters she just is not going to hate foreigners as well as Trump. Plus she is one.

There was a political cartoon which I wished I'd saved. Nikki Haley is tossing a hat in a ring filled with hats -- pro-Trump, Anti-Trump, etcetera -- and she announces that she is throwing her hat in the ring. An observer to one side asks, "Aren't these all your hats?"

“Ken Buck let us down when he failed to push for the Trump agenda,” Holtorf said in a press release. “I’m tired of what I see in Congress and it’s time for a Colorado Cowboy to go up there and fight the out-of-touch bureaucrats.”

Nikki becoming ridiculous/irrelevant

Nikki Haley says recruitment in the military is down because no one wants to be forced to take woke gender pronoun classes. There are no such classes.

The Defense Department said recruitment is down because it’s easy to find private-sector jobs and there are fewer young people to recruit.

But she must be right. You must be able to kill people no matter what pronoun they use.

What she said aligns with the miasma of disinformation that the Fox News demographic lives in. It wasn't a misstep in that regard.

Former county clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That’s in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan County clerk should pay the couple who sued.

Attorneys for Davis had argued that the fees and costs sought by the attorneys were excessive, but U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning disagreed and said Davis must pay since the men prevailed in their lawsuit, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

Attorneys for Davis were expected to appeal the ruling.

Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal, which she based on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

Davis was released only after her staff issued the licenses on her behalf but removed her name from the form. Kentucky’s state legislature later enacted a law removing the names of all county clerks from state marriage licenses.

2 Hollywood stars send pocket change to Colorado, Boebert whines.

“It’s coming from Hollywood when you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat,” she said. “It shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress.”

According to Federal Election Commission filings, Streisand donated $1,000 to Frisch’s campaign in April, while Reynolds donated $500 in March.

She should be able to find some deep pockets to help her out. It seems like there's always funding for right-wing zealotry.

In any event, this ruling is only further evidence of the woke dictators' constant persecution of Christians for following their beliefs. It's right there in front of you!

Also republicans: we are going to shut down the government because of the border.

Elsewhere: Do states get aid for migrants?

Well, theoretically, the Feds are paying. Every state receives federal funding for immigration and asylum seekers based on historical usage. Meaning that Texas, Florida, etc. receive funds already. By shipping these people to New York, Chicago, etc., Abbot is spending his federal funding on shifting people, not on actually helping them. My guess is that shipping is cheaper than helping, so he’s actually adding to the state coffers from the federal funds. New York, Chicago, etc., meanwhile don’t have as large a history of having these immigrants, so their federal funding is lower, causing them to make up the difference somehow.
