‘Jewish Space Lasers’ Greene Thought She’d Wish Jews A Happy Purim – BIG Mistake

For some reason known only to her, Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene decided she’d send out Purim greetings to Jews via Twitter, but it didn’t take long before she likely realized that had been a really bad idea.

Here’s the tweet:

Purim, it should be noted, commemorates a story from the Biblical Book of Esther in which Queen Esther was able to thwart a plan that would have completely destroyed the Jews who were living in ancient Persia at the time. The holiday began Monday and ends this evening.

Greene would seem to be the last person who should wish anyone anything on any Jewish holiday. After all, she’s the same person who also:

  • Suggested that Jewish space lasers were to blame for wildfires in the United States
  • Appeared at a rally in 2022 with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who has said the Holocaust didn’t occur
  • Has advocated that the Republican Party be the party of Christian nationalism

And now Greene wants to make nice with the Jewish community? People weren’t buying what she was selling, and they let her know what a putz she is.

Lauren Boebert Says Conservatives ‘Have The Weapons To Win’ In Militant CPAC Rant

Colorado Republican extremist Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was one of the featured speakers at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) today in Maryland, and the speech she gave reeked of militancy and threats as she suggested that right-wingers “have the weapons to win” in a battle against Democrats.

Pacing the stage like a caged animal, Boebert repeatedly fired off scripture from the Bible and denounced “the left [that] wants to silence your speech.”

“We are going to make sure that all of these agencies that have been working against you … have an audit and if there is any woke program in these agencies, it is immediately defunded. Every diversity, equity, inclusion program … every woke initiative in our military … must be uprooted and completely defunded.”

The ardent Second Amendment extremist also remarked, “We have truth on our side … This fight has come to us. We didn’t ask for it, but we have the weapons to win this battle against actual evil.”

Near the end of her comments, Boebert told the sparse audience:

“We have just begun winning. Don’t let anyone grow weary in this fight.”

Boebert’s CPAC comments shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. After all, this is the same deranged lunatic who said Jesus wouldn’t have been crucified if he’d had more AR-15 assault rifles around him.

At an event hosted by the Charis Christian Center in 2022, the Colorado Republican said:

“They like to say: ‘Oh, Jesus didn’t need an AR-15. How many AR-15s do you think Jesus woulda had?’ Well, he didn’t have enough to keep his government from killing him.”

She also made reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel:

“Cancel culture has been here since the very beginning. Cain canceled Abel. And guess what, it wasn’t with a big, scary AR-15, it was with a rock. So I don’t think it’s a firearm issue, I think it’s a heart, a sin issue.”

Trump Launches A Disgusting Homophobic Attack On Pete Buttigieg Via Social Media

Throughout his career in both business and politics, disgraced one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump has been fond of giving people nicknames, probably as a way to pretend that he’s superior to everyone else he encounters, even though the truth is that he’s one of the most insecure losers ever born.

And yet, the failed ex-president decided he’d stoop to a new low with a disgusting attack he launched at Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg via his failing Truth Social site, which is reportedly desperate for cash and on the verge of financial collapse.

Referencing an article from a newspaper he hates, The Washington Post, Trump made a clearly homophobic reference to Buttigieg, writing:

“Wow, is The Washington Post becoming legit. They just reported that the weak and totally ineffective Secretary of Transportation, Pete ‘BUTTedgeedge’ LIED when he said that the Trump Administration’s great and effective reduction in regulations, a giant job producer, had NOTHING to do with the East Palestine Train Derailment. It was just more Dem DISINFORMATION in order to deflect from their gross incompetence.” Trump added: “Really good investigative journalism by The Washington Post. Keep it going!”

This comes just days after Donald Trump Jr. also took a cheap shot at Buttigieg based on his sexual orientation, Newsweek reported:

“Peter has no business in that position, but he’s the guy who had no business running for president. But they let him do that because he was gay and they check off a box and then he didn’t win, but, well, he’s the gay guy, so ‘we’ve got to give him something, let’s make him Transportation Secretary.’

“What does he know about it? Nothing. His failure, after failure, after failure are truly affecting the American people.”

None of this should surprise anyone. After all, both Donald Trump and Don Jr. have repeatedly proven that they’re proud bigots and will stoop to any level if it will help distract from their own massive failure in everything they’ve attempted.

Matt Gaetz Gets Shredded When He Quotes From A Chinese ‘Propaganda’ Publication: Video

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) thoroughly humiliated himself during a session of the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, quoting from a Chinese state-run publication to “prove” that U.S. aid to Ukraine was being used improperly.

Gaetz was questioning Colin H. Kahl, Under Secretary of Defense, and he asked the official:

“How about CIA? Are they training folks in Ukraine?”

Kahl replied:

“Not going to talk about that in an unclassified setting. Happy to talk about that further in the classified briefings.”

Gaetz then inquired, “Is the Azov battalion getting access to U.S. weapons?”

Kahl:

“Not that I’m aware of, but. If you have information…”

The Florida Republican announced:

“I intend to enter into the record The Global Times investigative report that talks about training. It’s from the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Lab. Citing the Azov battalion was even getting stuff as far back as 2018.”

After the article had been entered into the record, Gaetz asked Kahl:

“Any reason to disagree with that assessment?”

Kahl responded:

“Is this the, I’m sorry, is this the Global Times from China?”

Gaetz: “No, this is…”

Kahl: “Well, that’s what you read.”

Clearly unsure of what he had read, Gaetz was forced to admit, “Yeah, it might be, yeah. Would that be a reason?”

Kahl told the congressman:

“I as a general matter, I don’t take Beijing’s propaganda at face value.”

Rather than move on, Gaetz asked Kahl: “Yeah. Just tell me if. If the allegation is true or false, I mean.”

Kahl reiterated what he had just said:

“I don’t have any evidence one way or the other. As a general matter, I don’t take Beijing’s propaganda at face value.”

Before moving on to another topic, Gaetz remarked:

“Fair, fair enough. I would agree with that assessment.”

Could it be any clearer that Matt Gaetz is a complete idiot?

QAnon Members Angry With Trump For Eating McDonald’s Because ‘They Use Human Meat In Their Burgers’

During his visit to East Palestine, Ohio, disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached ex-president Donald Trump decided to stop by a local McDonalds, where he bragged that he probably knew the menu better than the people who worked there.

As Newsweek reports:

Trump told employees that he knew what was on the restaurant’s menu “better” than they did on Wednesday while visiting a McDonald’s in the eastern Ohio village, near the site of a toxic train derailment earlier this month.

A clip of the moment captured on video and shared to Twitter by The Recount had been seen more than a million times as of Wednesday evening.

“What’s your specialty today? Hello everybody. That’s a nice, beautiful group of people.
“So, I know this menu better than you do. I probably know it better than anybody in here.”

However, some of Trump’s most ardent constituents in the QAnon movement were not happy with the Donald being at a McDonald’s because they claim the fast food chain uses “human meat” in their hamburgers.

Take a look at some of the madness that circulated on social media:

That led to endless mockery of the QAnon nuts.
