Virtually everything happening around the world is horrible. It is hard to imagine a good outcome in Ukraine. At best, Russia will be humiliated, but only after inflicting an incredible amount of damage, both in lost lives and in destruction of property. At worst, this will start World War III. In a world where a lot of people have smart phones and access to the internet, we are watching much of this play out in real time. Obviously, there is more we don’t know, but the damage, chaos and human tragedy is beyond obvious.

During times like this, it is always great to discover something that is at least fun to watch. There are two female representatives in congress who are clearly not afraid of crossing red lines when expressing their opinions. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greenie heckled Joe Biden during the State of the Union address. Now the State of the Union Address is a solemn event, and their behavior showed disrespect for the office. But it is impossible to criticize them without considering the disrespect shown to President Donald Trump by the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. She literally tore up the text of his speech, while he was delivering it. Sadly, respect for the office of President of the United States has largely disappeared. Thank you, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

In any event, these two are really good at drawing attention and heckling people, who certainly deserve it. Democrats and the MSM, predictably, are deliberately distorting what really happened. Boebert heckled Biden when he talked about caskets draped with flags by saying “You put them in, 13 of them.” She was obviously referring to the people killed during the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Shortly after that Biden, again, brought up the death of his son Beau Biden. So, she was accused of mocking him regarding that. Typical deliberate misrepresentation by the media and particularly Democrats.

In the meantime, these two are reminding me of Heckel and Jeckel. The two cartoon talking magpies. Following is a picture of the original Heckel and Jeckel:

Here is a picture of the updated version of Heckel and Jeckel:

Enjoy! Now both of these women sometimes say and do dumb things. They frequently deserve at least some of the criticism targeted at them. But at least they are trying to do something, and they are obviously skilled at getting attention. If nothing else, it is fun to watch them, successfully, get under the skin of people like Nancy Pelosi. They are also providing a valuable distraction from the horror show we see everywhere else.

Democrats will try to expel them from congress, but then they want to expel a lot of Republicans from congress. Heckel and Jeckel, fun to watch then, fun to watch now.
