Quick Hits: Volume CCCXLVII

 - Given the utter bizarre and crazy legislation that the DFL trifecta has passed in Minnesota over the previous 16 months, you'd be forgiven if the reading of these bills sounded as though it came straight from a sketch show. A sketch show like......Saturday Night Live perhaps???? 

If you're tempted to dismiss that notion as hyperbole, check out the floor speech of Rep. Jim Nash (R-Waconia) regarding yet another goofy policy proposal brought forth by MN Dems. 

The DFL's Elections Bill allows a voter to register by describing where they live instead of providing a physical address.

Meaning, as Rep. Nash put it, "in a van down by the river" would be enough to vote. pic.twitter.com/ACCzCz0u3A

I only wish Rep. Nash had the foresight to tell his fellow members that this particular bill should not amount.....to......JACK. SQUAT. 

- Even though the 2024 NFL regular season schedule will not be officially released until Wednesday, there have been a few high profile matchups already announced. 

For instance, the first Monday Night Football game in the 2024 campaign.......

Primetime at our place 🤩

We'll kick off the 2024 season vs the Jets on Monday Night Football. @ESPNNFL x @NFL

Aaron Rodgers leading the Jets in the first MNF game of a season? What could possibly go wrong???? 

- I'm half expecting President Joe Biden's cadaver-looking skin to turn orange any day now. 

I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:

25% on steel and aluminum,
50% on semiconductors,
100% on EVs,
And 50% on solar panels.

China is determined to dominate these industries.

I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

And this just a few weeks after Biden had his own "Charlottesville moment," a circumstance which he proclaimed was his sole motivation for entering the 2020 presidential race. 

Given Donald Trump has consistently lead Biden in the 2024 polls over the past few months, perhaps the President's strategy is to morph into Trump in an effort to appeal to voters?
