Quick Hits: Volume CCCLXIV

 - The latest media and prog (PTR) chanting point has gone out: President Donald Trump's actions has us on the verge of a "Constitutional Crisis." 

This is the same collective who turned a blind eye to President Joe Biden openly admitting to defying a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court  as well as indulged the walking cadaver's fantasy that he alone can amend the United States Constitution. 

For all the leftist media's shrieking over Trump's words leading to violence, they themselves have no issue peddling disinformation in order to stoke anger among their fellow progs. Erick Erickson points out that inconvenient truth. 

In all seriousness, and I do mean I am serious and not trying to be hyperbolic when I say this, the press’s willingness to claim a “constitutional crisis” is going to get someone shot. The left is mentally fragile right now. They are experiencing sensory overload and despair from an election they were convinced they would win. And the press that has lectured Republicans about their shrill and dangerous rhetoric potentially provoking violence is now aiding and abetting the left’s assassination fantasies with this hysterical rhetoric that amounts to a well-coordinated talking point from the Slack channels of the left.

But hey! Assassination attempts make for great ratings and sell papers.

And the prog media will go all "abusive spouse" by proclaiming the Trump's actions will be the reason for any assassination attempt.....like they rationalized after the previous two. 

- Upon being shown on the Jumbotron at the Super Bowl on Sunday evening, Taylor Swift was soundly booed.  

President Trump, who was the first ever sitting POTUS to attend a Super Bowl, reacted on Truth Social. 

Eh. I think it's more attributable to the fact the majority of those in attendance were fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. Given Tay Tay's allegiance to her boyfriend's team (and Philly's opponent), it was for that reason alone she was the target of much of the crowd's invective. Remember, this is the same fanbase who infamously booed Santa Claus. 

- The Minnesota Legislature's favorite felony burglar (allegedly) is having another charge brought against her over an incident last spring. 

Prosecutors filed an amended criminal complaint Monday charging Minnesota Sen. Nicole Mitchell with a second felony.

Mitchell, a first-term Democrat from Woodbury, was initially charged with first-degree burglary last April after she allegedly broke into her stepmother’s Detroit Lakes home before dawn.

Now, prosecutors have added a second felony charge of possessing burglary or theft tools. The amended complaint says police officers discovered a crowbar in the window well where Mitchell allegedly broke in. Mitchell was dressed in all black and in possession of a flashlight with a black sock covering the light, according to the complaint.

The amended complaint also provides new details on comments Mitchell reportedly made during the incident.

“My God my military retirement. Shoot,” she said after being placed under arrest, according to the complaint.

“I have never done anything like this. You are going to find out I am a military commander for God’s sake,” she added, the complaint says.

Mitchell reportedly told police that she was attempting to retrieve some of her late father’s belongings and that her stepmother wasn’t talking to her.

After being read her rights, Mitchell reportedly responded: “I’m just hoping, um, this mistake won’t completely f– up my life.”

Now, compare Mitchell's statements upon her arrest to her depiction of events in her first public response on the incident in question. 

Had there been an honest and impartial ethics hearing last year, Mitchell's conflicting accounts alone should have been enough to expel her from the Senate, regardless of the outcome of her criminal trial. And if Minnesota DFL chair Ken Martin wasn't such a gutless wonder, he would've have called for Mitchell's resignation immediately as opposed to waiting until the conclusion of the 2024 legislative session. But that would've shown integrity over perpetuating a power grab, which would have disqualified Kenny in his ultimately successful run for DNC chair.
