You know how nature abhors a vacuum. And think of the vacuum left in Power Couple Land when Junior and Kimberly broke up. I mean, rilly. Kimberly was photographed at the Super Bowl with Kevin Costner and Junior has been off in Italy shooting endangered ducks with his new main squeeze. So maybe a new power couple will emerge from that. But for the meantime, you’re going to have to content yourself with Lauren Boebert and Kid Rock as your nightmare dream couple. Page Six reports that the pair got into a cab at 2:30 a.m. when Trump was dancing with a sword and making slashing motions towards a sheet cake the night of the Inaugural ball(s).
TMZ posted a story about the pair the day after the Jan. 20 events, when Rock, 54, and Boebert, 38, were photographed chatting at one of the inaugural bashes.
“Lauren was totally transfixed by the rock star, yapping away, doing a little dance, and clapping like she was front row at his concert — basically giving Kid Rock all the hype he needed,” the site said.
Either way, they have much in common.
Both are among Trump’s most die-hard supporters, and they’re both enthusiastic gun-toters (even by rural Republican standards).
And they love Trump and Mar-a-Lago and they go apeshit when not enough attention is being paid to them. Maybe Lauren can do for Kid Rock what Yoko Ono did for John Lennon, ya spose?
And they can do politics together.
Despite (or perhaps because of?) her raucous political antics, wild quotes, and occasional scandals, Boebert won a couple of upset victories in her purple district in Colorado. (In late 2023, though, she left that district to run in a more Republican-heavy one on the other side of the state.)
Meanwhile, Kid Rock teased a Senate run in 2017, using his concert stages to develop what the Detroit Free Press called a “theatrical, rhyming, profanity-filled stump speech of sorts,” rife with takedowns of “deadbeat dads” and single moms who can’t stop having kids and athletes taking a knee during the national anthem and the KKK. He also floated grander ambitions, rap-announcing to a crowd, “If ‘Kid Rock for Senate’ has got folks in disarray / Wait ’til they hear ‘Kid Rock for President of the U.S.A.’!”
(Later, after the Federal Election Commission received a complaint that the rapper had failed to register as a candidate or report contributions, Kid Rock claimed it was all a stunt to promote his album.)
Yes, indeed, this is truly a match made in Hell. Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody, in case we don’t find a romance sufficient to eclipse this one in the next three days. Maybe this will turn out to be the real thing and they can get Mike Pence to marry them. And they can name a kid after DonOld.

Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
You know, for all the crap that Yoko takes, she actually IS a talented artist. Not to mention being an activist for peace and the environment. You may not appreciate her artwork or her music (though she can be “commercial” when she wants; check “Walking on Thin Ice” and “Kiss, Kiss, Kiss”–two of her most “commercial” recordings) but that’s pretty meaningless as many legendary artists were not appreciated in their own lifetimes.
And she certainly does NOT deserve the insult of being compared to Lauren Boebert.
FWIW, I.officially told dios where it could go. Apparently calling Trumpets ‘MAGAts” is dehumanizing and we must play nice and not hurt their delicate feelings. I began blogging there in 2005,almost 20 years. But the political.correctness is ridiculous these days. Got their warning. I posted an official FU post and don’t plan on ever going back. I.wrote as irishwitch.
I caught some of the same shit over there. Conflating the poor little MAGAts with being maggots, cockroaches, vermin etc was ‘insensitive. Who the fuck cares if they get all butt-hurt? Sometimes the only way to fight fire is with fire. As I keep saying if you find yourself in a bar fight you don’t try to make nice, you hit, kick, gouge, bite – whatever you have to do to put down anyone who attacks you and make it out the door! WE didn’t throw out the rule book. THEY did and if they don’t like getting smacked back in their smug, self-righteous ugly faces with the same shit they dish out then fuck em.
