I haven't done quick hitters in a while. A couple of things that struck me and spurred my thoughts as I looked at the newspapers and social media this morning with my coffee:
1. President Joe Biden is not very good as our Chief Executive. Nowhere is this more evident in our country than his border and immigration policy. On a scale of 1-10, where 1 equals zero immigrants and 100% deportation of illegals, and 10 equals open borders and totally mismanaged immigration policy, Joe is a solid 9. It could be worse, a 10, but I think one would have to be fairly imaginative to decide how to make it worse. Personally, I run at about a 3 or 4. I believe in legal immigration, and I believe a number of immigrants can and should be real asylum seekers. I don't support absolute deportation of all illegal immigrants, but a bunch ought to be sent back where they came from. Im migration is our biggest national embarrassment.

2. Speaking of illegal immigrants, an illegal immigrant shoots 5 people in Texas. The media refers to him as a "Mexican national". The guy has been deported in the past, perhaps multiple times. And heaven forbid he be labeled an illegal immigrant. Heavens, no! Democrat influencers on Twitter blame the NRA. You can't make this shit up.

3. Trump influencers, surrogates, and supporters on Twitter are attacking Ron DeSantis from every quarter for every absurd reason they can conjure up. All I can say is that these people saying this stuff aren't serious people, and they shouldn't be taken seriously. Plus, they're going to hand Joe Biden a second term.
4. That's because Governor DeSantis' chances to beat President Biden in 2024 are better than Donald Trump's are. That's why Democrats and the media are fanning the anti-DeSantis nonsense being spread about by the aforementioned Trump people.
5. Mother's Day is coming up. Mothers are adult females. They are women. Yes, they have an uterus. Yes, they give birth. If you're afraid to call them "women" or "mothers" because some infinitesimally small number of trans-women are jealous of what real women really are, and these trans-women will feel bad because they're not that, get a grip. Find a way to support trans-women by NOT pulling the rug out from under real women, who have spent the better part of 200 years fighting for equal rights. Happy Mother's Day ain't that hard to say, and it isn't offensive except to some really troubled people who need help.

| "Happy Mother's Day!" GTFOOH! |
6. Not a single person, not one, has every explained to me what Donald Trump's path to victory is in 2024. He will lose the same way he did in 2020. He has done and is doing exactly nothing to widen his base and court independents and moderates who turned against him.
7. Abortion is a bigger issue for the 2024 electorate than many on the right are willing to admit or accept. It just is. Ignore that fact at your own peril. Like immigration, there is a reasonable place smewhere in the middle. The absolutes of both the left and right, on both of these important issues, are self-destructive. Many in the middle of the opinion spectrum, on both immigration and abortion issues, are afraid of the respective extremes and won't speak up. I'm speaking up.
Have a great day, friends. Those are my quick hitters for May 1, 2023.
