Oh for the love of God…

Pentagon Pete caused airport chaos by shooting down party balloon

The recent airspace closure around El Paso, Texas, was caused by the U.S. Military shooting down a party balloon amid a behind-the-scenes spat with air safety officials, multiple reports say.

That contradicts the explanation provided on Tuesday by administration officials, which claimed the closure was necessary because drones operated by Mexican drug cartels were being downed as they crossed the southern border.

El Paso, FAA, incompetence, NOTAM, Texas, WTF?

Or probably both.

Phil Lewis ‪@phillewis.bsky.social‬

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — FAA says it has lifted temporary closure of airspace over El Paso, Texas, and all flights to resume.
8:03 AM · Feb 11, 2026

Aaron Rupar ‪@atrupar.com‬

MS NOW: “A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are ‘not in clear communications with each other.'”

FEMA, flooding, incompetence, search and rescue, Texas

Not at all.

FEMA search and rescue chief resigns after frustration with Texas flood response

‘….It is laughable that a career public employee, who claims to serve the American people, would choose to resign over our refusal to hastily approve a six-figure deployment contract without basic financial oversight,’ another DHS spokesman said in a statement about Pagurek’s resignation. ‘We’re being responsible with taxpayer dollars, that’s our job….’

….FEMA leaders were unable to quickly mobilize some critical resources, including these elite teams, in the crucial first hours of the Texas floods. The holdup stemmed from a new rule imposed by Noem, who continues to require her personal approval for every contract and grant over $100,000 before funds can be released – a threshold that FEMA officials called ‘pennies’ during a disaster response….

Apparently, their job:

“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Texas anymore.”

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

On Monday afternoon:

Mark Alford
February 24, 2025
Commandancy of the The Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836
[….]

Some of the responses:

Stop with the God has a plan. No one wants to be preached at by you. You are a US Cingressman who clearly has NO answer for anything! It was painfully obvious at your town hall. You of all people should have known what RTW stood for! Oh and for the record, right to work states’ wages are way less. Look at Kansas, an RTW state… minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Where are these magically high paying jobs going to come from as the economy is tanking?

he takes God’s name in vain…

100 percent!

Mark Alford, SERIOUSLY? This is what you post today after your Monday with Mark in Belton turnout with so many of your constituents showing up wanting answers? Your best answer today was “God has a plan?” You have to do better if you are going to represent us! Your own party constituents are angry with you now. STAND UP and SPEAK UP for us or it will be a short lived political career for you.

we need a new one in 2 years

I love that the town hall of Missourians booing his non answers made national news

I’m hearing he had folks write questions/concerns on 3×5 cards. His staff then screened all of the cards and selected a few for him to respond to, i.e. softball questions.

From my observation the cards were sorted so that people who lived in the district were first in the queue. There weren’t any particularly softball questions.

I am truly ashamed at all of you for being so hateful . God would not approve of your actions .If you can’t say anything positive and nice don’t say anything at all.

Uh, asking a pointed question of an elected official and expecting an actual answer is not “hateful”.

EXCUSE ME? YOU are NOT the one who judges me nor do I answer to! Those of you who say you are “Christians” might want to look in a mirror or realize when you point a finger, three are pointing back at yourself before you start JUDGING OTHERS! Especially when you judge others that you know NOTHING ABOUT! Best of Luck in the future and I hope you do better going forward.

You are an embarrassment! Bootlicker! Your god has a plan crap is as useless as “thoughts and prayers”! Stop being a coward and stand up for your constituents!

You are an embarrassment. You need to stand with Ukraine. You need to remember why you were elected and what your job actually is. Medicaid cuts will devastate your district.

You are a disgrace!!!!!

The reality is the United States cannot afford to give away trillions of dollars to Trump billionaire donors in the form of tax breaks. The USA needs those taxes to run the country. Rational thinking takes priority over personal agendas. To even consider terminating Medicaid and cutting Social Security programs that would jeopardize the lives and make homeless many millions of American children, elderly, disabled, sick and poor many whom are Republican is not only anti Christian but the optics would put a smile on the faces of our international adverseries. What kind of Republican would not clearly see the correct priority.

Your constituents aren’t stupid and your god talk has no place in politics. Grow a pair or step down and let someone in who is not afraid.

Jesus Christ. “People who disagree with me are an enemy army.” No – they’re your fracking constituents, you empty suit. What a disgusting sentiment.

I don’t understand what the story of the Alamo has to do with firing of thousands of federal employees. When there was the month shut down during Trump’s last administration, thousands of people were out of work. My husband and I were considered essential. Only our mortgage company would let us skip a month in paying. If it went on longer we would have lost our health insurance. We were not allowed to apply for unemployment, get a temporary job (you have to have permission that it doesn’t conflict with your government position) and thousands of people were not buying gas, food, doing entertainment things. This month, hurt the local economy. We still had to buy gas to get to our non paying job. KC metro has more employees if the federal government due it’s central location than Washington DC. Kit Bond worked had to get the jobs here, I campaigned for kit for governor and Senate. Ike Skelton did so much to get the B-2 Bomber and fighters to Missouri. My husband worked for 33 years at SSA he loved what he did helping people when a family member passed, making sure benefits were sent for children when a parent dies. I worked for USDA during the time farmers were having to auction their farm in farm loans and disaster payments. I worked at OPM/DOD administering tests to those who wanted to join the military and in high schools. Then later the IRS. I have a degree in accounting, this is what I did, what really loved to do. Help people when grandma died and found out she hasn’t sent in her yearly 1040 for years. People who had changes, got a late W-2, a corrected W-2, what to do when a spouse dies. Now during peak filing time you, yes you as supporting this dismantling of the federal government, you lay off 1000 people from the IRS service center and more to come. Do you know by LAW if a refund is not issued in 45 days of postmark the government pays interest on those refunds?
And FACT Russia invaded Ukraine. My husband’s family is from Poland, lived under Nazi occupation, his parents put in concentration camps, aunt, uncles in factories and farms and his cousin hung from a lamp pole in the street as an example. You just looked them wrong, you were taken or killed on the spot. What was left of his family lived under Soviet Rule. Nearly as bad as the Nazi. Did you know churches were not allowed? Priests held services in basements, if found they were killed.
No, GOD does not have a plan, you Republicans do not have a plan. Just thousands upon thousands with no income. Pantries have send notice their funding has been cut. Do where will people get food? I am a widow. No one cares about the elderly. Except one, Trump who has decided he is King!?! I never thought I would see what happened in the 30’s -40’s. I am glad my husband has passed now, his parents, his older sister, his aunts and uncles. They do not need to see or experience of the horrors if Nazism again. We mean NEVER AGAIN. They were not Jewish but ROMAN CATHOLIC.

Don’t lie about the people who were there, Mark. No one was bussed in.. Most of us were from YOUR district! The crowd would have been much larger if there was more than three days notice. Oh and we weren’t told about the “town hall” meeting in Oak Grove. Hmmmmmm

I can’t believe he tried spouting those lies on tv. What a loser

Trump is spitting in our faces. He is disgusting. He is handing this country to our enemies, and we know who.

Wtf? Are you even in this reality? Stop making yourself the hero and martyr or whatever fictional life you’re leading.
Or Step down

Was this meant to be a comedy sketch? Poor Markie. Well-informed constituents besieged him for answers about poor government and asked him to do his job and protect the Constitution and his constituents. How could they attack him like that?!?!?

So what I’m gathering by your post is you’re willing to die for FOTUS and Musk? Not the constituents who pay your salary…

Stand up against the wannabe kings. Stand up for the people of Missouri. You show us who you are by who you surround yourself with and Sir, it is shameful.

Then God also had a plan when Biden was president but you fought it tooth and nail.

You’re embarrassing the state.

Is this your response to the town hall? We are now the enemy because we smacked you with the truth? Get a spine, protect your constituents & the rule of law – not the law of Donvict.

No, you have been asked to hear the people YOU represent. You are not besieged, sir. You are being asked to listen to your constituents and address their real concerns.

So, you’re a lunatic?

God doesn’t take your advice with planning. How condescending can you be? God DID state a plan for those who harm the poor.

You don’t live in Texas and neither do the people who showed up to call you out.

Excuse me. Am I supposed to conclude that the constituents who took time out of their lives to tell you, their representative, what they think are the enemy?
That is an incredibly disappointing stance for a public servant and representative to take.

Silly. You are better than this.

Evidently not.

Bruh, the sky wizard doesn’t care.

Houston, Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, Texas

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D) [2010 file photo]

U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is dead at 74
The Houston Democrat announced earlier this year that she had cancer.

BY MATTHEW CHOI AND SEJAL GOVINDARAO
JULY 19, 2024
10:04 PM CENTRAL

WASHINGTON — Sheila Jackson Lee, a Houston Democrat who was one of the longest serving members of Texas’ Congressional delegation and a longtime advocate for progressive causes, died on Friday amid her battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 74.

[….]

Jackson Lee was a progressive fixture on Capitol Hill for decades. She was an early opponent of the Iraq War and advocate for gay rights. In 2021, Jackson Lee was arrested for engaging in civil disobedience over a federal voting rights bill. [….] She never shied from speaking on the House floor or before the cameras on causes she cared about.

[….]

Fourteen years ago, in Kansas City:

….All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don’t you be fooled. [voices: “That’s right.”][applause] Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement. Don’t let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America or those who said Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s braids were too tight in her hair had anything to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people. Don’t let them fool you on that [applause]….

To all my Texas friends… would love to have you join us Feb 9th in Baytown Texas for a reunion of sorts and a fundraiser as we gear up for re-election to Congress.
Going to great to see old classmates.
[….]

Some of the responses:

But do they know where you’ve been fraternizing with that guy in Waco?

Texas has nothing to do with politics in Missouri.

Mark Alford [….] but they do have something to do with politics in DC and federal laws and issues we are working on.

Sure, Mark.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

you are MO 4th rep not Baytown TX. You do not represent us and now you are going to Texas. Get in touch with the 4th for god’s sake.

go 4th yourself! [….]

been here in the 4th a long time. MO 4th needs representation full time and not sharing with Texas who had their own representation and problems. We are being over run with trash for one thing locally and truly need representation to realize that as well as the current problems the U.S. is facing. There are a lot of issues needing addressed here before going and worrying about anything in a large county in Texas. Preserving the government of our country sure outweighs the preservation of an ex-president’s ego.

A Texan:

Texas (in addition to every state in the country) has everything to do with politics on the national level. I live in Texas, supported Mark’s campaign and will absolutely support his re-election.

Mark Alford [….] hope to see you at the event

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Texans supporting our candidates in Missouri is exactly one of the problems in our country. He should probably take care of home and keep it clean before working for other states. Drive down Highway 291 and Highway 50. Drive from his community to MCI and tell me what you see.

Your awesome Mark Alford

You’re.

What’s next for the abortion pill mifepristone?
Updated April 10, 20233:29 PM ET

[….]

…The name-brand drug Mifeprex was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration more than 20 years ago. Since then, it has been used millions of times, and major medical groups say it has a strong safety record. A generic version was approved in 2019.

Now, the drug’s future is in jeopardy. A federal judge in Texas issued a preliminary injunction that undoes the FDA’s approval of mifepristone nationwide beginning this Friday….

[….]

As of Monday, there is no change yet to Americans’ ability to access mifepristone.

But that could change as soon as this Friday, when the preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is set to take effect.

[….]

Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, agreed with their concerns and, in a preliminary ruling on Friday, declared the FDA’s approval to be invalid….

Federal judge in Texas hears case that could force a major abortion pill off market
Updated March 15, 20237:39 PM ET

[….]

A coalition of anti-abortion medical groups and doctors called the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine sued the FDA back in November, saying the abortion pill mifepristone was improperly approved two decades ago as part of a two-drug protocol that’s used to end pregnancies in the first trimester.

Erin Hawley, an attorney representing Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, argued that doctors who are part of this group have been forced to treat patients who have experienced complications, which can include heavy bleeding. In some cases, Hawley said, doctors have been forced to provide a surgical procedure to complete the abortion, despite their deeply held beliefs.

[….]

[emphasis added]

Erin Morrow Hawley Is Leading the Charge to Ban Abortion Medication. She’s Also Josh Hawley’s Wife
Reproductive rights activists are raising scrutiny over attorney Erin Hawley’s role in the suit against the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone. The Texas federal judge overseeing the lawsuit made a past donation to her husband’s campaign.

BY ABIGAIL TRACY
MARCH 23, 2023

As a Texas federal judge deliberates his decision in a high-profile case that could impose a nationwide ban on a leading abortion drug, reproductive rights activists are now raising scrutiny about a member of the plaintiffs’ legal team: Erin Morrow Hawley, an attorney and the wife of Missouri senator Josh Hawley.

The case, which is playing out in a courtroom in rural Texas, could have the most far-reaching ramifications on abortion access in the United States since the fall of Roe v. Wade. Should the judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, rule in favor of the plaintiffs in the case and issue a preliminary injunction, it could effectively block the use of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions, which account for more than half of all abortions in the US. Hawley is one of the main lawyers arguing on behalf of conservative legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom, which sued the Food and Drug Administration last November for its approval of the abortion medication.

[….]

It was easy to check:

Lucas Kunce @LucasKunceMO
First, Matthew Kacsmaryk donated to Hawley’s campaign. Then, Hawley voted to make Kacsmaryk a federal judge. Now, Kacsmaryk just ruled in favor of a suit led by Hawley’s wife to ban abortion meds.

Hawley’s name is all over a nationwide effort to ban abortion without exceptions.

cult, Donald Trump, GOP, platform, right wingnuts, Texas

From the 2022 Texas GOP State Convention:

Report of the Permanent 2022 Platform & Resolutions Committee [pdf]

[….]
1581 1. 2020 Election: We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that
1582 various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in
1583 multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020.We believe that
1584 substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in
1585 favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
1586 We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph
1587 Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States. [….]

[line number emphasis added]

“…We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States….”

Curiously, there’s no mention of the multitude of those other race results certified on the very same ballots.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
