We all saw this Crookie coming.

I need to figure out what #Crookie Award to give to Erika Kirk for 2025. "The bounceback award" seems inappropriate; suggestions welcome.

Here she is this month at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards.

I don’t know, maybe a glamour shots award

And what is with the finger-combing of JD Vance's hair? While wearing leather-ette leggings? Ew!

Due to overwhelming* demand I'm finally weighing in on "the hug". If a woman hugged me like that there's a good chance my wife would kick her ass, then proceed to kick mine b/c she's not the best at regulating anger once fired up.

And we love it for Bari Weiss that ratings for the Erika Kirk town hall were terrible.

Erika is also, believe it or not, not quite ready for prime time, as her lies have already caught up with her. Does that make her the perfect conservative?

Erika Kirk is a liar (and schemer).

Welcome to the big leagues, Erika, and here's your Crookie.
