Ann Coulter has told Trump lackey and US presidential hopeful Nikki Haley 'Go back to your own country'. Haley was born in South Carolina.
It's fun, watching them eat their own.

Republicans in West Virginia have filed a bill saying teachers "may teach intelligent design as a theory of how the universe and/or humanity came to exist."
https://friendlyatheist.substack.com/p/w...-file-bill
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Not to cover myself in tinfoil hats, but it seems like the word "may" is doing some serious dog whistling, in the wording of the bill.
What's the over/under on how fast this is going get amended to "teach the controversy" if this passes?

...it seems like she dropped off the map, for a bit, there. (As ever, I could well be wrong.) That said, I'm forced to wonder if she's got a new book coming out, or something.

Boru She also said Nikki Haley had no right to criticize the confederate flag because Hindus worship cows. Leave it to ann to compare worshipping cows to defending monuments to white supremacist traitors.

Why is this nitwit still talking?
Trump Jr thinks there's about to be an alien invasion and it’s Biden’s fault (msn.com)
Donald Trump Jr seems to think that the 'foreign objects' the US has been shooting down in recent weeks are to do with aliens - and Joe Biden is going to screw everyone over when they land.

Virginia governor clears path for ‘extreme’ bill allowing police to seek menstrual histories
The Republican governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, appears to have thwarted an attempt to stop law enforcement obtaining menstrual histories of women in the state.
A bill passed in the Democratic-led state senate, and supported by half the chamber’s Republicans, would have banned search warrants for menstrual data stored in tracking apps on mobile phones or other electronic devices.
Advocates feared private health information could be used in prosecutions for abortion law violations, after a US supreme court ruling last summer overturned federal protections for the procedure.
But Youngkin, who has pushed for a 15-week abortion ban to mirror similar measures in several Republican-controlled states, essentially killed the bill through a procedural move in a subcommittee of the Republican-controlled House.
“The Youngkin administration’s opposition to this commonsense privacy protection measure shows his real intentions, to ban abortion and criminalise patients and medical providers,” said Tarina Keene, executive director of Repro Rising Virginia, in a statement provided to the Guardian.
Youngkin has insisted that any abortion restrictions would target doctors, not women who have the procedure.

These people need to mind the business of running the gov without sticking their noses up uteri.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Republicans unanimously voted to put this on the Homeland Security Committee.
