With credentials like this, how can he lose? Via Washingtonian Magazine: Derrick Evans, the former West Virginia state delegate who livestreamed himself storming the Capitol while shouting “Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!”, announced a bid for Congress Friday. Evans intends to compete for the seat in West Virginia’s First District, which is currently held by Republican Carol Miller, who campaigned on the slogan “cut the bull out of politics!” Evans intends to run as a Republican. Asked for comment, a Miller spokesperson tells Washingtonian “Her focus is serving her constituents and she is committed to delivering conservative, pragmatic results for West Virginia for many years to come.” Evans claimed after the riot that he attended simply as “an independent member of the media to film history.” (He streamed his video on a Facebook page titled “Derrick Evans – the Activist.”) Nevertheless he was convicted of civil disorder and sentenced to three months in prison with 36 months of supervised release. read more

    Trump’s nominee to run the DEA has withdrawn from consideration after MAGAt lawmakers objected to him (you'll love this) for enforcing COVID restrictions seriously during the height of the pandemic in 2020. Via HuffPost: Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, a Florida Republican, said in a statement Tuesday that he had decided to drop out after the “gravity of this very important responsibility set in.” “To have been nominated to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime,” Chronister said in a statement.

  • Rep. Crockett: Americans Tired Of Dems Bringing ‘Butter Knife’ To Fight
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:48 AM

    I don’t know why any Democrat would allow President Joe Biden’s pardon of son Hunter to turn into any kind of controversy.

  • Your Little Golden Book Of Trump's Terrible Pardons
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/04/2024 - 07:46 AM

    The media is currently clutching its pearls over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter, saying President-elect Donald Trump will use Biden’s act of clemency to justify bad pardons once he takes office again. Politico declared Biden’s pardon “a rich gift to those who want to blow up the justice system as we know it,” while The New York Times said Biden’s act “will inevitably muddy the political waters as Mr.
