Opportunity knocked for Donald Trump about 15 years ago. He should have run for president then. Nobody cares what he has to say now.

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

The local chapter of Moms for Liberty embarrassed itself the weekend before the election, effectively “hijacking” the Facebook page of my publication and filling it with mean-spirited comments. It was jaw-dropping. They were like monkeys in a cage, slinging you know what.

IMPORTANT NEWS about @Moms4Liberty: In the home county of @4TiffanyJustice, both Moms for Liberty-endorsed School Board candidates lost by roughly 15 points. Both losing candidates were endorsed as well by @GovRonDeSantis. This is a significant development.

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

Voters in Indian River County, Florida soundly rejected Moms for Liberty, which infamously became known for fanning the flames of “culture wars” at School Board meetings.

Biden cannot recover from his debate performance. We cannot "unsee" what we saw.

I'll make one more plea to @MittRomney to run as an independent. He would be an appealing alternative to the current options (an old geezer in Biden and a con man in Trump).

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

I haven't posted anything on X since November (because I don't like what Elon Musk did to Twitter), but this needs to be said:

@JoeBiden is a good man, but he needs to bow out of the race. By staying, he allows Donald Trump to be like an ominous hurricane gaining strength.

@ChatWitPat @60Minutes Cry harder, Pat.

The pet comparison had me howling. Good job, @traecrowder!

ON BIDEN’S BIRTHDAY AND THE IDEA THAT HE’S TOO OLD TO VOTE FOR

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

Man, beating Charlie Crist by 20 points really went to his head.

DeSantis: I’m the only one running who has laid waste to the left in my state…

5) @realDonaldTrump will eventually pay a price for not participating in any of these debates, right?

6) A debate without a live audience would be far more substantive. All of the cheering is so annoying.

6)

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

Random thoughts on last night’s GOP debate:

1) @NikkiHaley and @ChrisChristie are probably the only candidates who could beat Joe Biden.

2) @RonDeSantis is in over his head. How come he didn’t he didn’t proudly embrace the 6-week abortion bill that he signed?

1/3

3) @VivekGRamaswamy is a clown with “con man” energy (on the same level as Donald Trump).

4) @votetimscott? Nice guy, but ZERO chance of winning.

This is how the right-wing group @Moms4Liberty sees our public schools. So disrespectful toward teachers.

Here in Florida, just saw an ad — a year ahead of the election — for Sen. Rick Scott.

A "Mount Rushmore"-type figure in my home state of Indiana.

Basketball coach Bob Knight has died at the age of 83, his family announced.

@Charles70974426 @SenatorRomney Yes, I am. (I voted for third-party candidates in 1980, 1992 and 2016. Willing to do it again in ‘24!)

I said it before and I'll say it again: If @SenatorRomney ran for president as an independent in 2024, he could win. (Using how Ross Perot fared in 1992 as the benchmark.)

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Once a nominee and now a pariah, Mitt Romney, the last sane Republican, speaks out about the dissolution of the Republican Party.

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

@Charles70974426 @SenatorRomney Thought I could sneak one past you. Well, for starters, Romney would have a decent chance in states such as New Hampshire, Virginia, Iowa, New Mexico and Utah. Then, as momentum builds, more states would come into play.

[Russ Lemmon @RussLemmon]

What an idiot …

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Create-a-Republican Austin Scott is on CNN blaming Democrats for GOP dysfunction

Yes … yes … YES!!!

You have the right to determine what your child reads, but you don’t get to make that decision for all children.

As usual, Moms for Liberty co-founder @4TiffanyJustice plays the "victim" when challenged about her organization.

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

Moms For Liberty leader Tiffany Justice has meltdown when confronted about her group having Ruby Bridges material removed from public schools
