He was 78. “With infinite love we announce that Michael Nesmith has passed away this morning in his home, surrounded by family, peacefully and of natural causes,” his family said in a statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy at this time and we thank you for the love and light that all of you have shown him and us.” Nesmith was known as the Monkee in the green wool hat

I’ve written it before, but with Kamala Harris no longer in the upper chamber, Bernie Sanders took over the “dumbest senator in America” title this year — and he’s hard at work maintaining the crown. The octogenarian continues to misunderstand basic math and lash out with lies.
The Biden agenda — which, sadly, is the Bernie agenda now — is the Vermonter’s last chance to vote for a litany of socialist programs to hurt America.
That’s because 11 months from now, Democrats will have their comeuppance at the ballot box and divided government will be the norm for at least two years; by the time Democrats ever return to power,
Formula 1 could be set for a messy and protracted legal battle after Mercedes vowed on Sunday night to appeal the result of a chaotic season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and have Lewis Hamilton installed as F1 world champion instead of Red Bull’s race winner Max Verstappen.
Verstappen, 24, was formally confirmed as the Netherlands’ first ever champion on Sunday night. But only five hours after the race had ended, and only after Mercedes had had two separate protests thrown out by the stewards.
Mercedes informed the FIA late on Sunday of their intention to appeal
One of Chris Cuomo’s pals got hooked up by the feds for some seriously horrific charges on Friday. John Griffin, who works at CNN, is in a heap of trouble. The Vermont Department of Justice released a statement. "John Griffin, 44, of Stamford, Connecticut was arrested today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation after a federal grand jury in Vermont charged Griffin with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity." [Tweet] According to the indictment from the grand jury, Griffin used social apps Kik and Google Hangouts
Customers attempting to print the popular anti-Biden chant "Let’s Go Brandon" on Titleist golf balls were given an error message and told their orders could not be completed.
"So @Titleist has now banned the phrase ‘Let's Go Brandon!’ on their golf balls," social media strategist Caleb Hull tweeted Thursday, adding that he had been able to print the phrase on golf balls in the past. A report from PJ Media also stated that "Lets Go Brandon" was not allowed on the golf balls. [Tweet] When Fox News Digital attempted to personalize a Titleist Pro V1 ball on the company’s website with the phrase "Let’s Go Brandon", an error message said, "Sorry,

The Unmitigated Gall of Ilhan Omar

Rep. Ilhan Omar is demanding that Congress censure a colleague over offensive remarks. This is a real demand happening right now, and reporters write about her demands without peppering their prose with incredulous exclamation marks. House progressives, in fact, are reportedly planning to introduce a resolution that would strip Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of committee assignments over her stupid and bigoted joke about Omar.
“I have had a conversation with the speaker, and I’m very confident that she will take decisive action next week,” Omar had the temerity to tell CNN’s Jake Tapper Dec. 5. The same congresswoman, who claimed criticism about her smear that Jews were brainwashing the world
Yorktown, Virginia held its annual Yorktown Lighted Boat Parade on Saturday night, and one 50-foot vessel won the coveted “Best in Show” title with a colorful and artfully designed display of lights, plus people dressed as Santa Claus and Old Joe Biden yelling “Merry Christmas” to the crowd, topped off with a pair of American flags at the bow. A splendid time was had by all, but there was one fly in the festive ointment: the winning entry was also bedecked with a sign reading “FJB Let’s Go Brandon” in white lights. Within hours, the Yorktown Foundation, which sponsors the event, had abjectly apologized and stripped the offending boat
CNN anchor Don Lemon is facing "ethical questions," after it was claimed in court that he had warned Jussie Smollett about the police investigation into his alleged racist and homophobic attack.
Former Empire star Smollett is currently awaiting the jury's verdict, after standing trial amid accusations he orchestrated his own alleged attack by two men in 2019 on the streets of Chicago, during which he stated that a noose was tied around his neck.
During a court testimony earlier this week, Smollett alleged that Lemon had sent him a message informing him that the Chicago Police Department did not believe his account of what had happened on the night in question.
When drug dealers complain about the lack of law enforcement protection, the boomerang has come full circle and hit us in the back of the head.
Gangs of smash-and-grab thieves have targeted cannabis shops in the San Francisco Bay Area while firing 175 shots and stealing about $5 million's worth of products. Alphonso "Tucky" Blunt, owner of a legal cannabis shop, criticized poor police protection and the bureaucratic details of business in Oakland: "I was safer, and had more money, [selling] on the street, illegally." Such is the economic reality of the Bay area.
The thieves resell the stolen pot on the streets. City supervisor Rafael Mandeman said,
Nothing is Anybody’s Fault

Some time ago, P.J. O’Rourke was both prescient and witty when he observed:
"Liberals have invented whole college majors -- psychology, sociology and women's studies -- to prove that nothing is anybody's fault."
This week we have more evidence that nothing is anybody’s fault although the reasons for that may include even more than those P.J. named. Narcissistic celebrities, mendacious media and politicians, and blinkered prosecutors and Soros-funded district attorneys like Milwaukee County’s John Chisolm and San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin are also part of the mix. Stupid voters aren’t off the hook in my estimation either.
The Media Blame Shifting
For years the media played megaphone
The second of the two brothers who accuse Jussie Smollett of staging a fake hate crime against himself took the witness stand Thursday, telling jurors that he never was able to put a rope around the actor’s neck during the phony attack.
Olabinjo Osundairo, a former stand-in on Smollett’s show, “Empire,” testified that on the night of the attack he was initially distracted by a nearby car, but sprang into action when he saw his younger brother, Abimbola, wrestling with Smollett on the ground.
He said he pulled one of the strings out of the package of rope they’d purchased at a hardware store and “made it look like a noose.”
Monty Python’s Life of Brian is the most prescient movie ever made, predicting exactly in 1979 the cultural madness you see around you today.
Despite that, the flick was wrongly derided four decades ago by the very people who might find it gob-smackingly funny today. Life of Brian was vigorously protested during its U.S. release by various groups who believed — apparently without having seen the movie — that it was anti-Christian.
Nothing could be further from the truth. There are only two appearances by Jesus in the movie, one of which is off-screen. The first is the night of Jesus’ birth (Brian’s, too) and what little we see

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic Party nominee for president, said Sunday on NBC’s “Today” that if former President Donald Trump won the presidency in 2024, it “could be the end” of U.S. democracy.Clinton said, “If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again. He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he’s not held accountable, then he gets to do it again. I think that could be the end of our democracy. Not to be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this is a make-or-break point. If he or someone
Never-Trumper Chris Wallace announced on Sunday that he is leaving FOX News.Wallace is most famous for joining the Democrat Party, teaming up against President Trump and carrying Joe Biden’s corpse across the finish line in a 2020 presidential debate.Chris Wallace will be joining CNN as an anchor for CNN+, a streaming subscription service – and he is “delighted” to work with Jeff Zucker.“I am thrilled to join CNN+. After decades in broadcast and cable news, I am excited to explore the world of streaming.
MSNBC network national affairs analyst John Heilemann said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there were “30 million people right now who are ready to take up arms” for former President Donald Trump.Anchor Chuck Todd said, “I want to read what Bart Gellman wrote in the cover story for The Atlantic. Some might say it is hyperbolic, but John Heilemann, I’m curious if you think it is? The headline is Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun. ‘Trump and his party convinced a dauntingly large number of Americans, that the essential workings of democracy are corrupt, that the made-up claims of fraud are true, that only cheating can
The top US emergency management official has claimed that more powerful, destructive, and deadly storms will be the 'new normal' due to climate change, following Kentucky's devastating tornadoes. 'This is going to be our new normal,' Deanne Criswell, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told CNN Sunday before heading to Kentucky to assess the damage and help coordinate the federal response.'The effects that we're seeing from climate change are the crisis of our generation,' the FEMA chief added.Warm weather from a La Nina pattern was a crucial ingredient in the tornado outbreak that decimated western Kentucky on Friday,
Well, that didn’t take long for the obvious to hit the news wires. As my colleague Bonchie reported earlier on Sunday, Fox News chief Washington anchor and the host of “Fox News Sunday,” Chris Wallace signed off for good this week in the waning moments of the broadcast. And in doing so, speculated that we all knew where the longtime Fox guy would land. Axios: (emphasis original) Long-time “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace is leaving the network after nearly two decades, he announced Sunday. He will be joining CNN as an anchor for its new streaming service, CNN+. I am thrilled to join
Peggy Noonan doesn’t always get it right (no one does) but when she does, liberal heads explode. Case in point, her column this week for the Wall Street Journal. Noonan hits the nail on the head with her brutally honest assessment of Kamala Harris as vice-president. Leftists are in need of a safe space.
The purpose of the column is to point out that Kamala is rightly being criticized for her unseriousness and incompetence in office. Americans are worried about that because it is a threat to our country. She is a heartbeat away from being the most powerful politician on earth
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday reiterated a warning from the United States and its allies that Russia could face 'massive consequences' if it continued its 'reckless and aggressive' actions against Ukraine. 'We are looking at and we are prepared to take the kinds of steps we've refrained from taking in the past that would have massive consequences for Russia,' Blinken told Meet the Press host Chuck Todd. He also said an in-person meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin 'seems pretty unlikely' while Russia continues on a concerning path. The country's top diplomat was in the United Kingdom this weekend where he met with his counterparts

month: 'No thank you' 37 replies
The husband of U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appears less than enthusiastic about having to repay his student loans.
Chasten Buttigieg, who recently became a father to newborn twins with the transportation secretary, posted a screenshot on Instagram Saturday of a notification that his student loan relief from the COVID-19 pandemic will expire on January 31, 2022.
"These are the guys who complained that they couldn’t afford rent in DC on Pete’s $220K salary (and all their money from writing books)," Republican strategist Matt Whitlock commented. "A good reminder that the left’s ‘cancel student loan debt’ goal would overwhelmingly help financially comfortable people."
Powerful storms like the ones that tore through parts of the central United States this weekend are the "new normal" in an era of climate change, the top federal emergency management official said on Sunday. Deanne Criswell, the FEMA administrator, said her agency was prepared to bolster resilience in the face of more severe weather.
"This is going to be our new normal," Criswell told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "The effects we are seeing of climate change are the crisis of our generation," Criswell said. "We're taking a lot of efforts at FEMA to work with communities to help reduce the impacts that we're seeing
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, one of the few high-profile news personalities who retained a reputation of integrity as the channel he worked for leaned hard into right-wing and conspiratorial programming, announced Sunday that he is departing the network and joining CNN+ to host a weekday show. [snip] Shortly after his announcement, CNN announced that Wallace will join CNN+, the news organization's streaming product launching in early 2022, to host a show featuring interviews with newsmakers "across politics, business, sports and culture."
Chris Wallace, whose stewardship of two presidential debates and penetrating interviews of world leaders made him the leading anchor of Fox News’s reportorial ranks, announced on Sunday that he had decided to leave the Rupert Murdoch-owned network after 18 years.
He will become an anchor for CNN+, the new streaming service from CNN that is expected to debut next year.
A devastating new poll for President Joe Biden released on Sunday shows Americans disagreeing with his handling of nearly every issue currently plaguing the United States. As inflation rises to the highest level in 40 years, just 28 percent of Americans believe he's handing it right while 69 percent disapprove. Biden is losing Americans' faith on the foreign policy front as well. After his two-hour video call with Vladimir Putin on his aggressive actions toward Ukraine last week, only 38 percent of Americans have faith he can negotiate with the Russian leader. Sixty-two percent of poll respondents said they have
