Well, Blunt is back and is providing all Americans with a perfect case study of how The Swamp works.After not seeking re-election in 2022, he is now joining a lobbying firm connected to his former chief of staff and his own son.

Do these swamp dwellers who supposedly represent various states ever live in those states? It seems they go to DC and stay there.

Congress needs to pass strict laws prohibiting Congresspersons from using their current or former offices to enrich themselves. Like that is going to ever happen!

Re #2, I was never quite sure that those "fightin' Roy Blunt" comments weren't just pure sarcasm. Blunt never impressed me, but he was Missouri, one state over, so I didn't watch too closely, but his commercials were on in the KC Metro area, even though I'm on the Kansas side, I saw some of them.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Tuesday in a remarkable move intended to keep him from interfering in the criminal indictment of Donald Trump. The suit accused Jordan of a 'brazen and unconstitutional attack' on the prosecution of Trump after the committee has subpoenaed Bragg's former employees, demanded documents and planned a field hearing in New York City to disparage his office. The 50-page suit said Jordan was launching a 'transparent campaign to intimidate and attack' Bragg after he unveiled 34 felony charges against Trump last week over hush money payments.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) makes his first campaign stop in the 2024 cycle to one of the most competitive “toss-up” congressional districts in New Mexico, currently occupied by a Democrat, in an effort to try and expand the Republican majority. McCarthy’s first stop in the 2024 cycle, where he plans to try and expand his majority in the House, is New Mexico’s Second Congressional District to support candidate Yvette Herrell (R). The congressional seat is currently occupied by Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez (NM), who ousted incumbent Herrell in 2022 by less than 1,400 votes.

Alissa Heinerscheid, the Vice President of Marketing for the Bud Light brand, part of the Belgian InBev global brewing empire, is featured in a Twitter video (hat tip: Steven Hayward of Powerline) explaining her approach to convincing enough customers to drink her product. Although the hiring of Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesfigure (is that really a word?) is not mentioned, the move is implicitly part of the strategy she outlines, which is in essence, to forget about the existing customers, who are “fratty and out of touch,” and instead acquire new, younger customers, presumably the products of the indoctrination factories we call public schools and universities.

Fox News Digital reached out to a psychologist in New York City for professional input into the situation. The poster described herself as a 27-year-old woman whose 32-year-old girlfriend "finally moved in" after they'd been dating for three years.

Why are IQs dropping? 23 replies
Posted by Hazymac 4/11/2023 8:19:53 AM Post Reply
For decades IQs were climbing in the Western World. It was called the “Flynn effect.” Average IQs were defined as 100 in each succeeding iteration of the IQ test, as by definition the average was normed to 100. But if you rescored earlier IQ tests based upon prior norms, the average IQ would have increased by about 15 points or one standard deviation. In other words, if you took an IQ test in 1942 and scored 100, by today’s scoring you would have an IQ of 86. That is, until the past 10 or so years. In the past 10 years, IQs have been dropping, and dropping pretty fast.
