Judge Tells Alex Jones to Stop Chewing Gum/Dental Gauze During Trial
A defamation trial over Alex Jones’s comments about Sandy Hook victims’ families continues this week and it’s been full of wacky moments by the conspiracy theorist talk show host. At one point, Judge Maya Guerra Gamble noticed that Alex Jones was chewing on something and ordered him to “spit your gum out, Mr. Jones.” Jones clarified that he wasn’t chewing on gum but that he had gauze in his mouth earlier since he recently had a tooth pulled out. The baffled judge responded, “so you’re chewing on your gauze?” Alex then said it wasn’t gauze but that he was massaging the inside of his mouth with his tongue. He then opened his mouth to show Judge Guerra Gamble what he was doing. She followed up, “I don’t want to see the inside of your mouth. Sit down.” The matter bringing everyone to court is indeed serious, but every aspect to the proceedings has been an absolute joke as it pertains to Alex Jones and his wacky attorney.
RED STATE SHOCK: Kansas Voters Keep Abortion
The red state of Kansas voted to keep abortion legal in the wake of states having more leeway to make their own rules on the topic with Roe vs. Wade recently getting overturned. By twenty percentage points, the public rejected a constitutional amendment that would have allowed the state legislature to do anything up to making abortion completely illegal. President Biden said about the victory, “This vote makes clear what we know: the majority of Americans agree that women should have access to abortion and should have the right to make their own health care decisions.” The fact that the pro-choice side was able to win in the deeply conservative state of Kansas shows that in this election cycle, running on abortion rights may be the correct course of action for Democrats to take.

Charlie Kirk Thinks Trumpists Not Dumb Enough to Fall for Fundraising Cringe
Charlie Kirk turned on Donald Trump’s fundraising team for sending out too many annoying emails and texts to his supporters. Specifically, Kirk made the case that Trump voters are too intelligent to fall for the over-dramatic and persistent donation requests. Charlie said, “I’ve tried my best to tell the Trump team to stop sending these stupid emails and no one listens to me so I’m going to have to do it on the show. You are going to lose your supporters if you keep on sending out this unfiltered garbage. . . . People are not this dumb, okay?” While Kirk does deserve some kudos for accurately calling out the Trump fundraising team for their annoying messages, where he goes wrong in his analysis is that Trump supporters really are “this dumb” and fall for any excuse to give supposed billionaire Donald Trump their hard earned money.

Bobo Boebert: If We Ban Guns, People Will Eat Dogs
Lauren Boebert went on Sebastian Gorka’s Newsmax program recently and made the claim that banning assault weapons would lead to people eating dogs in the United States. The Colorado congresswoman said, “if the citizenry in America is disarmed, then we are no longer citizens, we are subjects. Here in America. We have gourmet treats for puppies. We have these amazing groomers for dogs. Well, in Venezuela, they eat the dogs. And it started because they don't have firearms.” A great way to test Boebert’s hypothesis is to look at the countries around the world where guns are heavily restricted and to see if they correlate with people eating dogs. Of course, no such connection exists, but that didn’t stop Lauren from delivering this idiotic talking point.
