[Law professor Turley of George Washington University makes the case that in the Texas vs Feds border tussle, Biden has the upper hand over Gov Abbot. And it’s got nothing to do with justice, executive responsibility, or what the Constitution requires. It’s all about how our corrupt courts will adjudicate the matter in favor of the administration (more here and here). gjr]

It sure looks like an entrepreneurial opportunity for Ayanna Pressley to step up to help her fellow blacks. She needs to resign her seat in the House, and using her own funds, open another pharmacy in the area. Maybe buy out the soon-to-leave Walgreens. This will put her own funds up for grabs, so to speak, and by working for 3-4 hours daily, reap the rewards of free-market capitalism.
Small business owners are known for their grueling hours (noon to 4 PM daily) and earning millions from their dedication. Sounds like a win-win for everybody. In fact, here’s my $1 to start your own go-fund-myself-Ayanna crusade.

According to the chart Bowyer posted to social media, under Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel the RNC ended 2023 with just over $8 million cash on hand and debt of $1.8 million.

Students at California school struggling after $250K in federal funds spent on ‘Woke Kindergarten’ program
A teacher at Glassbrook Elementary said trainers with ‘Woke Kindergarten’ told him a focus in the classroom should be to ‘disrupt racism’
Students at a San Francisco Bay-area elementary school — where officials hired a for-profit company called “Woke Kindergarten” to train teachers — are continuing to struggle with some of the lowest math and reading scores in the state, according to a report.
The school spent $250,000 in federal funds provided by a program meant to help boost test scores for some of the country’s lowest-performing schools, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, but after two years with “Woke Kindergarten,” students’ scores are reportedly worse.
In a 4% drop in both areas in the last two years, less than 12% of the students at Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward, California, can read at their grade level and under 4% are proficient in math, according to the Chronicle.

Staying in the basement and ducking interviews aint gonna work this time creepy grampa joe –
Nationally, Trump leads Biden by a stunning (in this poll – see the closing paragraph) five points, 47 to 42 percent.
That’s a nine-point swing in Trump’s direction since July of last year when Biden was up four, 49 to 45 percent.
With a 5.25 point margin of error, the shift in this poll of 1,000 registered voters between January 26-30 comes down to only one thing: Biden presiding over the worst first-term presidency since Jimmy Carter…
Currently, Biden’s job approval rating is only 37 percent. His disapproval rating is a full 60 percent. Both numbers represent his worst showing in this poll and put him -23 points underwater. In January of last year, he was down only four points with a 46/50 approve/disapprove rating.
Incredibly, Trump tops Biden with the Hispanic vote, 42 to 41 percent. In 2020, Biden beat Trump with Hispanics by 34 points, 66 to 32 percent.
Even more jaw-dropping, Trump ties Biden with young people (18-34) at 42 percent. In 2020, Biden won 18-29 year olds by 24 points, 60 to 36 percent.
After three brutal years of Biden’s failed presidency, only 22 percent say the country is on the right track, while 77 percent say the wrong track.
Here is Biden’s approval/disapproval numbers on specific issues:
Economy: 36/61, and only 24 percent believe the economy will improve in the next year.
Foreign policy: 34/60
Israel’s war with the terrorists in Hamas: 29/60
Border
Trump: 57 percent (+35)
Biden: 22 percent
Economy
Trump: 55 percent (+22)
Biden: 33 percent
Being Competent and Effective
Trump: 48 percent (+16)
