Black dead ringer for Malcolm X Steve Cohen announces he won't be running in the new antigerrymandered Tennessee 9th district.

He's retiring to spend more time with his Bucket Chicken.

Cohen said he was retiring from Congress and public life, "This is by far the most difficult moment I've had as an elected official," he said. He claimed the people "wanted me again."
Cohen said he "considered" running in one of the newly-drawn districts, but he said they are "nothing like the ninth district that I've represented."
But even in that, he couldn't make a simple statement without throwing a bit of a fit.

He said he won't run for reelection in his district, with a caveat: "If the courts will give two more years to that district ... I will run for that office."
"I don't want to quit. I'm not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me."

Translation? He knows he wouldn't win.

Also, that Justin X manlet says he's running.

Why do old liberal cows all think they can dance?

Jonathan Lemire, a leftwing propagandist and frequent panelist on Morning Joe, says that Trump now needs to face the same scrutiny about his age that Joe Biden did.

Note that Jonathan Lemire blocked that scrutiny of Biden every step of the way.

A liberal New York judge has, of course, excluded key evidence against the left's Cassanova Killer Luigi Mangione. But the gun and the diary -- the most important evidence -- remains in.

Fox:

A New York judge has ruled that some key evidence seized from Luigi Mangione's backpack during his arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald's is inadmissible at trial, while some of it can still be shown to jurors, including the suspected murder weapon.
Judge Gregory Carro's written ruling was posted online ahead of a hearing Monday morning. He agreed with the defense argument that a search of Mangione's backpack at McDonald's was unconstitutional because it had been moved away from arm's reach, however, he found that a subsequent search of the bag at the police station was lawful. During that search, an officer found the handgun allegedly used in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50.
He also found that most of Mangione's statements to police in Pennsylvania would be admissible, except for some made about his alleged fake ID after police read him his Miranda warning.

🚨 NOW: The judge has just ruled IN FAVOR of assassin Luigi Mangione by SUPPRESSING evidence the cops found inside his backpack
Utter madness.
The jury will NOT learn about:
- Bullet magazine
- Cellphone
- Passport
- Wallet
- Computer chip
TOTALLY OMITTED from the jury.
The judge says the Mangione was ILLEGALLY searched because they took his bag after the shooting without a warrant.
The gun and diary will still be allowed in trial evidence.

Mamdani gave press passes to a couple of antifa-aligned "reporters" who announced, in their "reporting" on the Mangione hearing, that Brian Thompson deserved to be murdered and his children were better off without him.

"I'm saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don't give a flying fuck he died," says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson's teenage sons "are better off without him" and should "enjoy the blood money."

Whoops: I got this one backwards. Dana Loesch tried to book Tom "Pinecone" Massie but he seems butthurt.

Nice work, Mayor Karen: wildfires break out in southern California again.

Still not clearing that brush, huh?

Unfortunately, on Monday, a fast-moving wildfire broke out in Simi Valley, a Ventura County city about 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Over 200 acres have caught on fire and evacuations have been ordered. The images coming out are disturbing.

A Variety "reporter" attacked Spencer Pratt for "living in Santa Barbara."

With his parents.

Omitted from this statement: When Karen Bass burned down his house, he became homeless, and moved in with his parents. He has children, you know.

Marlow Stern
@MarlowNYC
he... lives in santa barbara

Pratt responded:

My house burned down. I lost everything. I can't rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I've had to move into my parents' house, and I'm getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community...if you lose your entire town, "journalists" mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?

🚨 NOW: LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt just dropped an absolute BANGER, drawn from the theme of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Pratt's ads are SO GOOD 🔥🔥

No wonder Karen Bass is terrified.

He's surging.

Pratt's trying to get the much-discussed, little-observed "Preference Cascade" going by letting Karens know that other Karens are secretly voting for him:

“You are not alone.” Yoga moms, silent majority, and a preference cascade all in one. Whether or not Angelenos elect @spencerpratt as LA mayor, he and his team are revolutionizing politics. pic.twitter.com/l4pwOSmNUH

87 Cops used to have it easier before the judges started siding with the crooks.

On Dragnet, prior to that episodes showed how it worked, they would knock on your door and ask “mind if we look around?”. Or they would haul you in for about 8 hours of questioning, and search your place before you got back home.

88 I remember hearing some stupid cop just started searching him at the McDonads because he matched a description. I dont know what the rules are, but of course a judge is totally willing to cut loose one of their street thugs on a technicality. Probably ask for his autograph later

It is possible the cop fucked up at the McDonalds. Warrantless searches are limited to specific sets of circumstances for a reason. If they didn't have separate probable cause to search the bag it's illegal if he wasn't under arrest. After a lawful arrest you can make an inventory search of someone's possessions incident to that arrest. I don't have all the fine details but the cop may very well have jumped the gun and weakened the case as a result. They seem to have piss-poor training on permissible searches under the 4th Amendment as a general matter.

We've had a rough, rough week. When you are so sick you barely bat an eyelash at part of your house being dehumidified and blocked off with plastic walls or a son losing a job, you are sick.

How could anyone seriously vote for that freak? I know, I know, I underestimate the retardation of Dims.

111 Early on in the space program the first astronaut candidates selected were sent to the Lovelace medical clinic, a private firm. Since they didn’t know what to test for, they tried everything they could think of. Sperm count “here fill this bottle”. Enemas, given algebraic equations to finish while feet are immersed in a bucket of ice water. Crazy shit.

. You want to be an astronaut right? Pete Conrad got tired of submitting a stool sample every day, and submitted his all wrapped up in a red bow. They were not amused and he didn’t make the grade for the original 7 Mercury group.

“Not Suitable For Long Duration Space Flight” they said.

Another time they showed him a blank piece of paper, part of the Rorschach testing. He looked at it, flipped it around and handed it back to the guy. “It’s upside down”. The tech kind of flinched. They didn’t like that either. Ole Pete made group 2 though.

Thank you. I have no idea what is going on and will watch Tulsi tonight.

This week has been like one of those toy boxing guys where you get hit and spring back for another hit infinity. My husband tells me something and I say, "Wow" or "ok."

This house is very big. So part of the basement being blocked off with plastic and dehumidified after mold treatment is meh to me. Although we have to wash dishes in the half bathroom sink or use paper plates and cups. Life goes marching on.

We will be going to NOLA and to see my 95yr old mother on Saturday should we survive til then. She knows nothing as we try to keep her from worrying.
She has not yet met her newest great-granddaughter and we are all going. Storms keep knocking out power on the farm and generators are going, so it should be a ton of fun!

I don't worry much to start with but maybe I should now? Eh? Supposed to rain all weekend and grands will go nuts.

All I care about is my birthday dinner at Galatoire's in NOLA the night before we fly back here. This may not be normal.
