RFK Jr. and Kid Rock Bizarrely Strip Off to Push MAHA Agenda
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again campaign just got even more bizarre.
The health secretary, 72, enlisted the help of Kid Rock, 55, to promote his MAHA agenda through a shirtless workout posted to X on Tuesday.
“I’ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD,” Kennedy wrote, attaching a 90-second clip titled “Secretary Kennedy and Kid Rock’s Rock Out Workout.”
A federal judge in Texas declared a mistrial on Tuesday after a defense lawyer wore a shirt in court with images from the civil rights movement, delaying a closely watched case in which the Trump administration is accusing a group of protesters of being terrorists and says they are part of a “North-Texas antifa cell”.
US district judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of Donald Trump, declared a mistrial only hours after jury selection began at the federal courthouse in downtown Fort Worth. He abruptly halted the proceedings after MarQuetta Clayton, an attorney for one of the defendants, had been questioning potential jurors for about 20 minutes, taking issue with a shirt she was wearing underneath a black blazer. The shirt contained images of civil rights movement leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr and Shirley Chisholm, as well as images of protests from that time.
Clayton was present in the courtroom all day with her shirt visible to Pittman, but the judge did not stop the proceedings until Clayton began questioning the approximately 75 potential jurors who had assembled.
Pittman claimed the shirt sent a political message that could bias jurors and equate the actions of the defendants in the case with that of the civil rights movement, adding that the decision to wear the shirt may have been intentional. Pittman also argued that the defense lawyers would be outraged if prosecutors were to wear shirts that showed pro-ICE or pro-Trump imagery in front of a jury.
Here is a twelve-minute video of a white guy showing another white guy running for a senate seat. The best thing is that neither pretend to know what it's like to be black.
Ta, Dok. Keep hope alive, even when it's difficult or even seemingly impossible. Jesse Jackson's memory will always be a blessing. We dined on "meat"balls made of shiitake mushrooms, the rest of Meccalopolis's lovely tomato sauce, and penne made of red lentils. It was scrumptious. I got way too little sleep last night, so I intend to crash early. For now, I'm just going to lurk in the non-comments. Good night, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please, please stay safe.
Today was rough, just had this heavy bad feeling just come over me. Maybe it's just depression, but I think I may just watch a sad movie and bawl my head off.
Any suggestions?
Mr said "Field of Dreams" - which confused me a bit bc all I remember is ghosts playing baseball. But then he said, "Well, it's about a guy trying to bound with his dad" and suddenly I'm crying. Again.
True fact*: I vaguely registered Fuckface Orange was planning to do a ‘State of the Union’...
... and promptly short path forgot it. Like anyone really cares how well his handlers got the doses right that night.
Might watch excerpts in rerun if he dies on camera tho I guess.
(*originally wrote ‘True Fact from Beyond’ and tossed that. Okay so I kinda am from Beyond. Not sure that’s relevant here. If halfway through the cloud of dark matter to the Andromeda spiral they heard this story, they were as quick to say whatever jowly junkie.)
GF and I just weighed ourselves. We are slowly gaining, which is what we needed. She's above 100 lbs, and I finally got back to 150, which is about 10th-11th grade level. Need to get to 160, which is my 18-year-old self, maintained mostly over many a decade. Ya see? My cooking is paying off. Either that or it's temporary winter coat stuff. Tomorrow some home-made pizza.
Later this week, another hail Mary on the Bug. If that don't work, do the valves. After that doesn't work, then tow to the expert shop. I've freaking done everything a shade-tree mechanic could do. Conversation:
Mechanic: "Well, there's your problem right there."
Me: "Make it go. Girlfriend is paying half. She fears the Big One and wants us to have an off-road capable bad boy, in case Highway 62 gets all busted up. And the Baja Bug is just the ticket."
Also too a live version, perhaps the only functional live one on yertoob worth noting, but here I think it's not Greg but Xan McCurdy capably acquitting himself at Greg's erstwhile duties:

Did they snort cocaine off a toilet seat beforehand?
A. JFC EW; and 2. Barf.
Okay. That segment about the Dilley detention center in TX nearly broke me.
Time to wander off for a bit.

I never realized, but Oregon does not have any East/West interstate through it...
I-84 is almost that, although it kinda hugs the Northern border and has no reason to end at the ocean.
Real quote or The Onion?

I can't even joke about that.
Why not both?

Hamnet is a tear jerker - it took me days to recover

It will be equal parts braggadocio and bellyaching and covered in lies. There, I saved you the trouble.
He'll remind us how much we enjoy having masked goons raid our communities.

Anything you can share without going there?
It's Trump sitting on a toilet, as the shit flows through pipes into the mouths of people wearing maga gear.
I wouldn't use Facebook either, but I'm 8000 miles away from home and it's the best way to kerp in touch.
This, by the way, is exactly why as much as I miss the cat pics, I'm glad you can't just post images and gifs on substack.

Here's the camera at Namibia!
It's a beautiful day there, and drinking at the water place are wildebeests (gnu), zebra, and a rhino.
There's a wild boar in there now, and a tiny antelope too.
The antelope is called... the dik-dik.
You're welcome.
So it's a Dik-Dik Pic?
I'm going to lie to myself that I got enough sleep and go and get some dinner.
And maybe sleep a bit more after dinner and before more work.
No point being tired 𝘢𝘯𝘥 hungry.
Here's our latest Friday Night track. Kinda dubby. Real accordion! Its about being spied on by billionaires.

That’s nice. Someone’s watching!
I sent the audio to my stereo; it’s excellent in high fidelity, particularly since I’m a bit intoxicated!

(I'll get the "brother price.")
Uh, some advice, if I may. Sell the bug, get some groceries.
Ummm. A Baja bug will survive the EMP blast that kills every car with modern technology.
Properly sorted, it’s not particularly picky about the quality of the gas, and a Baja bug can travel places where modern AWD vehicles struggle.
It’s absolutely what you want when the shit hits the fan.
Eat, bubeleh.......
Apropos of topic and my mood: Greg Brown (also recently RIP) playing hot riffs on a song he co-wrote. Catchy as fuck.
