Happy Friday! Here are the topics for today’s column:
- Biden – Trump Polling
- Alabama Supreme Court
- Hello Moon
- One More Thing
BIDEN – TRUMP POLLING:
A recent Quinnipiac University National Poll finds that Trump gets higher marks on age, mental & physical fitness; Biden does better on ethics, empathy & temperament.
1,421 self-identified registered voters nationwide were surveyed from February 15th – 19th with a margin of error of +/- 2.6 percentage points.
In a hypothetical 2024 general election presidential matchup, President Joe Biden holds a small lead over former President Donald Trump with 49 percent of registered voters supporting Biden and 45 percent supporting Trump.
The poll also found that voters think both are too old to be President.
If Republican Nikki Haley is matched against Biden, she wins 46%-43%.
One of the key things that stood out to me is that Independents are divided, with 44 percent supporting Biden and 42 percent supporting Trump. The person who wins the Independents will probably win the race.

ALABAMA SUPREME COURT:
You may have seen the report about the Alabama Supreme Court. The court ruled frozen embryos are children under state law and subject to legislation dealing with the wrongful death of a minor, stating that it “applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location.”
All members of the Alabama Supreme Court have a Republican Party affiliation. Surprise! (Source)
According to The Hill, the court issued this majority decision in a lawsuit brought forth by a group of in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients whose frozen embryos were destroyed in December 2020 when a patient removed the embryos from a cryogenic storage unit and dropped them on the ground.
I suspect other states, like Montana, will use the wording in the ruling from the Alabama Supreme Court to introduce legislation to try and make a state law that says embryos are children.
The ruling is causing some hardships. The Associate Press (AP) has the story HERE.
This ruling could actually help pro-choice candidates on the 2024 ballot.
HELLO MOON:
The Associated Press (AP) is reporting that a private lander on Thursday made the first U.S. touchdown on the moon in more than 50 years, but managed just a weak signal back as flight controllers scrambled to gain better contact.
The AP says despite the spotty communication, Intuitive Machines, the company that built and managed the craft, confirmed that it had landed.
So now it’s time for the conspiracy theorists to come out and say this moon landing is fake. Just for fun and giggles, click HERE to read the debunked conspiracies about prior moon landings.
I remember the time I was abducted by aliens, and nobody believed me…
ONE MORE THING:
The song stuck in my head this week is “Take It to The Limit” by the Eagles. The song was written by Eagles members Randy Meisner, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. Meisner sang lead on it.
“You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?”
Check out the live version from 1977 HERE. It is worth your time.
The Western Word 
This is the guy our MAGAs love. That is beyond all comprehension. The requirements to become a navy SEAL must have gone through the bottom. Sheehy models himself as a “trump conservative.” Miss Kitty and Rosie I expect that from. But one would think that the navy SEALs require recruits to be at least smart enough to be able to discern a leader with severe dementia! Apparently not. Semper simpletonis!

As all our Montana MAGAs try to out trump each other, it’s good to remind ourselves just whom they’re cheerleading for. Even Navy SEAL Sheehy, who know better as a military veteran, claims to be a “trump conservative.” I find this all very disturbing. How did we arrive at this point? This explains a lot.
