09:55 Princess Kate follow up

18:14 Insurance in the USA

35:18 Student Debt Forgiveness & Ozempic Babies

The breakdown:

—The Supreme Court let a lower court’s ruling stand, stating Texas could act independent of the federal government, and deal with immigrants crossing their border. This caused a second lower court to say, “No, Texas can’t!” which means it’s gonna get kicked back up to SCOTUS. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to run on the border problem, which they could have ended, had they voted for the border bill they wrote. It’s quite fascinating.

—Couy Griffin, a New Mexico resident who founded “Cowboys for Trump,” was kicked off a ballot for public office. “But SCOTUS said Trump couldn’t be kicked off ballots!” he argued. True, but Trump wasn’t convicted of being involved in an insurrection. Griffin was. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.

—Well, we certainly hope that everyone involved with freaking out about Princess Kate being MIA feels bad right now. The poor woman (mom) has cancer. Leave her be, why don’t ya?

—This is pretty amazing: Donald Trump is being honest. He’s taken over the RNC, and is now openly telling donors that their money will first be put to use paying his legal bills… and THEN used to get Republicans elected to office. And yet, people still throw money at him, the “billionaire.” Amazing.

(Side discussions of the idiotic Republican impeachment hearings against Biden take place here.)

—Insurance giant State Farm is going to stop insuring some homes in California. Other insurance companies don’t cover squat in Florida. Yeah, that’s insurance. They want to take your money, and they don’t want to pay out. So if you live in a (say it with me) high risk area, they’re either going to charge you massive premiums, or not cover you. That’s the game.

(Side discussions of Don Lemon interviewing Elon Musk take place here.)

—Julia Reel got kicked out of the Hubbard Inn (a Chicago based bar & restaurant), and wasn’t happy about it. She went on TikTok, made a video claiming she’d been thrown down the stairs, and it went viral. Well, “Not so fast,” said the Hubbard Inn, and then posted security footage of their staff being completely respectful to the newly nicknamed “Julia Smollett.” The Hubbard Inn is fighting back with a lawsuit against Julia. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.

—And in closing… More student debt is being forgiven, and women supposedly on birth control are getting pregnant if they take Ozempic.

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.
