Two measures - Senate Bill 30 by Sen. Nathan Johnson, D-Dallas; and House Bill 309 by Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park - proposed wide-ranging regulations for the hemp industry that did not include banning its products entirely.

Did NOT include banning? 😁

"A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a $83.3 million jury award against President Donald Trump for defaming magazine writer E. Jean Carroll.

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals said the jury award was “reasonable” given the evidence presented at trial."

Texas Tribune - 9/5/2025

After 8 months of hearings, etc., a surprise decision by Gov. Greg Abbott to veto a total ban of hemp in June and last-minute negotiations on Wednesday, the status quo will largely remain in place for the industry, for now.

Hemp-derived THC products will remain legal 😁

Right now, the Democratic Senators are grilling Bobby and his creepy voice, and it's a joy to watch. It's almost like they're tossing strands of spaghetti on the wall to see if any of them stick.

Good times 😂

"DOGE put the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by uploading Social Security data to a vulnerable cloud server, a whistle-blower complaint said."

Tonight's South Park episode will be "Sickofancy” described as "Towelie goes to Washington D.C."

I wonder if Krusty & Her Hair will make an appearance in her Starship Troopers outfit 😱

The Texas Tribune 8/20/25:

"An El Paso judge this week temporarily stopped Attorney General Ken Paxton from prosecuting former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s political group, Powered by People, after Paxton moved to block the organization from financially supporting Texas Democrats who left the state."

President Zelenskyy's ally isn't the only person who hopes Vance calls in sick tomorrow.

Cowards 😏

I had to look up Julie Johnson to find my current district on her website. I'm writing it all down in pencil in case I get moved again.

I usually see them (as well as Krusty's ad bragging about her "ICE wants you" app) during Jeopardy! Let me know if you see any of these. And my district (TX32) WILL be impacted.

Loving it that Newsom and California will step up in this illegal fight. This GOP crap has to stop... now!

At least the Democrats have included Gooden and Van Duyne in its current TV ad (theme is "oh hell no"). The ad usually airs after that laughable Cornyn ad that makes JC look like what he is: A little man who is scared he's losing his seat to Paxton as well as a puppet for the orange tyrant!

Krusty Nome & Her Hair got a huge shout-out on South Park ("Got A Nut") last night.

Spoiler alert: There were lots of shot-and-killed puppies, ICE's recruitment drive with signing bonuses, ICE going to heaven to find and arrest Mexicans, Krusty's face kept sliding off, ad infinitum.

Good times 🤣

Thank you for your efforts on our behalf, Senator Johnson 😘

This one is truly hysterical! I sure hope South Park makes Satan a recurring character on the show. We'll see...the next new episode is scheduled to be aired on August 6th.

Only slightly less?

When Pandora opened that box. she released all the sickness, death, and other troubles into the world.

Only one thing was left in the box - HOPE.

I still have hope that our country will survive after all the destruction being inflicted on us by that evil monster and his ilk.

What if?

What if Stephen Colbert invited both Trey Parker and Matt Stone to visit Stephen's show next week, and they discuss the South Park episode "Sermon on the Mount" for the entire time and show ALL the naughty bits.

He should strike while the iron is hot 🔥

Donnie Doll Hands and his gal pal, Krusty Nome (and her hair), came to Kerrville yesterday to spray a little orange stink all over the suffering in Texas, and then lie about Krusky's response regarding FEMA.

Krusty did see a few mourning parents she wanted to send to a gulag in another country.

Happy Birthday, America.

When Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government was established in 1787, he replied "A republic if you can keep it."

If we all stand up and fight, we will keep it.

My my... what tiny hands that vulgarian has 🤣

A Nobel Peace Prize for Durwood? Sure. Fine. Whatever. If a sexual predator should get a prize for being a shitfaced coward who loves to tweet threats to the world because he's old, weak, scared, and just plain stupid... Sure. Fine. Whatever.

Let's get one for Idi Amin while we're at it. I'll wait.

Hot Wheels is hot to trot on this unconscionable attack on America and democracy by declaring he's one with Fearless Leader, and he will deploy the Texas National Guard in San Antonio to quell the notion that protesting in Texas should be a crime (First Amendment and the Constitution be damned).

The 60-day deployment of the California National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles will cost at least $134 million, basically covering travel, lodging, and meal expenses.

That $134 million would help to keep Medicaid safe from Dirty Don and his Nine Nasty Nosepickers as well as the GOP.

The Tiananmen Square protests have come to America and have settled in California. The Orange horror decided to show his contempt for Americans and deploy the National Guard to kick some heads in.
