The Hits
OK, so—Sen. Mike Lee’s text messages to Mark Meadows prove that he was actively engaged in coming up with a strategy to overturn the results of a free and fair election (starting even before we knew the results of that election). Texas governor Greg Abbott created a massive traffic jam by requiring completely superfluous security checks on cargo coming in from Mexico in an effort to worsen inflation, which I assume he would then blame on Pres. Biden. Elon Musk, who is the poster boy for why no single person should ever be able to amass that kind of wealth, attempted a hostile takeover of Twitter. Sarah Palin is running for congress.
We really need a Good Human.
Who do you think deserves a vote this week? And let us know why.
I’ll post the results tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m. ET.
GOOD HUMAN OF THE WEEK: Vladimir Kara-Murza - the Russian dissident leader of anti-PUTIN/pro-freedom movement in Russia who, despite being poisoned in two attempts on his life for speaking against Putin and his policies, chose to return to Russia during this time of war to help lead the freedom movement and give hope and energy to that effort. he gave interviews to MSNBC and CNN and then a week ago, was arrested by Russian forces and sentenced to ‘15 days’ which nobody believes will actually be 15 days. This man was nearly murdered twice for speaking out against Russia’s Putin-led horrors but chose to return because as he said ‘Russia is his country.’ And how could he expect Russian citizens to keep fighting back against these horrors if their leaders fled the country. He went back knowing they would take him into custody (at best) and kill him (at worst). That’s a kind of bravery and dedication to cause and humanity that I think we all strive for and wish to hold in our own hearts.
