Convicted felon Joe Arpaio, speaking at white nationalist AFPAC conference, claims he’s been labeled “the biggest racist in America”, gets a thunderous ovation, and then confusedly says “Why are you clapping? I’m not!” to total silence. [https://twitter.com/jaredlholt/status/1497449945397448704](https://twitter.com/jaredlholt/status/1497449945397448704) ---

In a small victory over Stupid Republicans, a federal court ruled that part of Kansas’ new voter law was unconstitutional. The new law made it illegal for out-of-state organizations to distribute mail-order ballot applications with the voter’s name and address preprinted on the app. The court agreed with the plaintiffs that the new law violated the first and 14th amendments. The law was vetoed by Democratic governor Laura Kelly but her veto was overridden by the GOP supermajority in the Kansas legislature. > **[Kansas agrees new mail ballot restrictions are unconstitutional, will pay...](https://kansasreflector.com/2022/02/28/kansas-agrees-new-mail-ballot-restrictions-are-unconstitutional-will-pay-legal-fees/?fbclid=IwAR1S8_dru0EzXJM0TAeyaZ2MOhhRnPO97PwadW-GZZ0ExZeeNl1mu_f53do)** > > TOPEKA — A federal court on Friday struck down parts of a new Kansas law that criminalized the distribution of advance mail ballot applications.

With current events as they are, I’m curious about which Ukranian leaders bought artwork at inflated prices from Hunter Biden, and how that turned into the quid pro quo situation they find themselves in now- basking in the benefits and political favors of the bought puppet leader Sleepy Joe. Maybe some folks here who were vigorously ringing that bell have a bead on some crack reporting anout that vile bit of corruption? I mean, all eyes are on ground zero. Surely with the attention that region is getting the under-the-table dealings must surely be bubbling to the surface. ---
