Brittle!

Britt gets flack for her flop response.

So as we begin the new week and the campaign for President of the United States is between Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump, the stakes couldn't be much higher.

Biden and Trump will face off again with the polls slightly favoring the former president over the current incumbent.

Republicans hope to have a message that inspires voters to the polls.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) did not offer that message in her Republican Response. The 42-year old is the youngest female senator. She, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) are the youngest members serving.

Britt was ridiculed by the junk food media and some of her Republican colleagues grumbled that she didn't deliver the blows.

What got my attention was the mood changes. One was optimism. One was anger. One was emotional to the brink of tears. One was snark. One was total hyperbole.

She did her response from the kitchen in her upscale Montgomery, Alabama home which she shares with husband Wesley Britt, former NFL player turned activist. 

Britt’s rebuttal, delivered from her own kitchen table, laid out a dark vision for the country under Democrats and warned of violence. She talked about her two children and warned that “life is getting more and more dangerous.” She also called Biden a “dithering and diminished leader.”

Britt blamed Biden for the border crisis and inflation. She claimed that the "senile" president's policies are hurting real Americans.

Britt got heat for telling a story about an activist who was then a sexually trafficked victim. Britt criticized current immigration policies, describing how she had met a woman at the U.S.-Mexico border who told of being raped thousands of times in a sex trafficking operation run by cartels, starting at age 12.

The victim has previously spoken publicly about the abuse happening in her home country of Mexico from 2004 to 2008 — not in the United States during the Biden administration. Yet, Britt used the account to chastise Biden’s action on the border.

“We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third-world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it,” Britt said in the Thursday night speech televised from her home in Alabama. “President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace.”

Britt has made immigration one of her top issues in her first years in the Senate, and Republicans have seized on a surge of immigrants entering the country during Biden’s term to attack the president. Trump blames Biden for the killing of a Georgia nursing student after an immigrant from Venezuela who entered the U.S. illegally was arrested and charged with her murder.

Independent journalist Jonathan Katz revealed in a TikTok video Friday that the sex trafficking of the victim mentioned by Britt on Thursday did not happen during the Biden administration or in the United States.

Britt spokesman Sean Ross on Saturday confirmed to The Associated Press that the senator was speaking about the account of a young Mexican woman who told of being repeatedly raped in Mexico from 2004 to 2008 — when Republican George W. Bush was the U.S. president.

Ross said people are still victims of “disgusting, brutal trafficking by the cartels.”

Michael Whatley and Lara Trump take over the RNC.

Britt traveled to the border at the Del Rio Sector in Texas in January 2023 with fellow Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, according to a news release issued then from Hyde-Smith’s office.

“The Senators held a roundtable with former Mexican Congresswoman Rosa MarĂ­a de la Garza, Fox News Contributor Sara Carter and Karla Jacinto Romero, a survivor of human trafficking,” the news release said. “The Senators learned about cartel activity in Mexico and the work being done to rescue victims of human trafficking.”

Romero — an advocate against human trafficking — has spoken publicly about being a victim of child prostitution in Mexico, including during 2015 testimony to a subcommittee of the U.S. House. Romero, then 22, told the subcommittee that she was 12 when her mother threw her out on the streets, and a pimp trafficked her to more than 40,000 clients over four years. Romero said many of the clients were foreigners who had traveled to Mexico for sexual interactions with minors like her.

Actress Scarlett Johansson had an opportunity to make a point. She did a cold open on SNL and made a spot on lookalike.

Democrats hope that their coalition doesn't break.

Republicans have little plans on how to change the status quo. They are motivated by white supremacy through these ridiculous culture wars. Immigration, the economy, DEI, Israel, Ukraine, abortion, political discourse and loyalty to Trump seem to be the only things motivating Republicans.

Democrats are losing favor with Black, young voters, Arab American voters, Muslims, Hispanics and college educated voters. The party's support for Israel, the president's age, the party not doing enough to fight climate change and banning TikTok are going to be the problems going into the election.

Trump who is facing lawsuits, criminal indictments and concerns about his age is the presumptive Republican nominee. The Republicans also elected two cronies to lead the RNC.

Michael Whatley and Lara Trump will take the helm of the Republican Party. Both election deniers and simpletons, the two will lead the RNC going into Milwaukee.
