In a Tuesday appearance on Fox with Laura Ingraham, Texas Republican Lt. Governor Dan Patrick proposed dropping Democratic President Joe Biden from his state's 2024 presidential ballot.
His suggestion is the latest Republican attempt to retaliate against Democrats for holding former GOP President Donald Trump accountable. Trump lost his spot on the Colorado GOP primary ballot Tuesday after a historic 4-3 ruling.
Patrick told Ingraham:
"Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think—except we believe in democracy in Texas—maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing eight million people to cross the border since he’s been President disrupting our state for more than anything anyone else has done in recent history."You can see the moment here:

The Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled he is ineligible to serve as President, so he will not be on their primary ballot, but they stayed their ruling until January 4th as Trump appeals to the Supreme Court.

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.
This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.
Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama warmed hearts when they shared the same photo to their respective social media accounts, showing them with their adult daughters, Sasha and Malia, to commemorate Sasha's 24th birthday.
Sasha Obama was born in June 2001, nearly eight years before the family moved into the White House at the start of her father's first term in January 2009. She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.
So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
