The Greatest Of All American Philosophers…
The Incomparable George Carlin

Over the centuries, America has been blessed with more than its fair share of comedians. The exceptional ones often made their name harpooning politicians and politics in general. It’s fair to say some of the best of those skewers were more expert in irony, cynicism, and sarcasm than knee-slapping, pie-in-the-face comedy. In his final years, George Carlin (1937-2008) rose from Top 40 DJ and TV’s “Hippy-Dippy Weatherman” to the pinnacles of popularity, foremost among those who could speak unvarnished truth to power and get belly-laughs, standing O’s, and serious respect for his words and insights.

The ease with which insane leftists confidently, albeit horrendously and erroneously, go through life is something worthy of a larger study. How can self-confidence and attachment to reality be so far removed? It is simply a marvel. Nina Jankowicz, suddenly a young woman with frightening authority in the United States, has been tasked with leading this new ministry. Who is she? Well, among other things, Jankowicz has produced a series of cringy and humiliating videos, replete with off-tune singing, exaggerated facial expressions, and lyrics that would make Joseph Stalin blush under that Siberian mustache.
If Hillary Clinton deserves to be locked up, then Joe Biden deserves to be retired to a long-term care facility. What other human being would still be in charge of his own house, let alone an entire nation? I feel no pity for Joe, who spent his entire life chasing money and power, and has now been reduced to a soulless tool of the globalist machine.
Instead of pity, I feel outrage. I am livid that my countrymen voted for this demented fool. Put differently, didn’t vote for Trump, thus enabling his victory all the same. Was it worth it?
Octogenarian House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the third in line for presidential succession, is slated to appear in a drag show hosted by RuPaul. The show, titled RuPail’s Drag Race All-Stars, is scheduled to premiere on May 20th.
Perhaps more amazing than the fact that Pelosi is appearing in this event at all is the fact that this isn’t the first time she’s done it.
Personally, I do not care what the Obama girls – Malia, 23, and Sasha, 20 – are now up to. Aside from unique circumstances in their childhood, they are people like anyone else leading lives interesting only to themselves. For my money, only Barron Trump’s suborbit height is worth following.
Politically, however, it’s worth pointing out that far-left dad Barack and America-hating mom Michelle raised two girls who got quite accustomed to wealth, luxury, privilege, and elitism. Now, as the latter recently shared on Ellen, both are quite content remaining secure in the upper echelon of society’s wealthy influencers. Peons need not apply.
Stephen A. Smith is someone with whom sane people rarely agree. He is loud, obnoxious, and intentionally controversial. Rational dialogue doesn’t get clicks, and credit to him for carving out a niche where people love to hate him. I mean, I don’t know who can stand watching him and he’s absolutely part of the corporate media problem, but he gets paid by ESPN for doing his schtick, so there’s that. The free market works.
Somehow, though, this raving leftist lunatic saw the light.
Elon isn’t just buying Twitter. He’s exposing corruption that goes all the way to the top.
There aren’t a lot of new insights I come across where I sit dumbfounded, but this was one of them. A huge kudos to Sundance over at Conservative Treehouse for shedding some light on the mostly-unknown world of Big Tech.
Two new polls, from left-leaning outlets CNBC and Quinnipiac, show more devastating – albeit unsurprising – news for the Brandon administration. Evaluating Biden on issues ranging from the economic situation, Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and overall sentiment for the president as a whole, polled voters emphatically reject the leftist policies being spewed from America-hating pols.
It’s not a shock to you or me that CNN+ is crashing and burning. We could have told the CNN bosses this idea wouldn’t work… and we could have told Chris Wallace that his move to CNN+ would be an epic disaster. Axios is reporting that investment and projections for CNN+ are expected to be cut dramatically in response to a low adoption rate, two sources tell Axios.
ICYMI: The Entire Gretchen Whitmer “Kidnapping”
Case Was Exposed As A Fraud – A Full Recap 13 replies
Case Was Exposed As A Fraud – A Full Recap 13 replies
Just weeks before the 2020 election, the FBI announced that it had thwarted an attempt by rightwing terrorists to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan. At the time, Whitmer was taking intense criticism for her draconian handling of the COVID pandemic. The FBI arrested Daniel Harris, Brandon Caserta, Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Kaleb Franks, and Ty Garbin. The case was a propaganda bonanza for the left in general, and Whitmer in particular – who blamed the inflammatory language of Donald Trump for inspiring the would-be kidnappers.
Can Mitch “the RINO” McConnell be trusted to stand up for conservative interests and the values that his ruby red voters presumably elected him to fight for when he ran as a Republican?
No, no he can’t. His spine is weaker than overcooked spaghetti and Mitch rarely has the guts to stand up to the radical left on anything other than judicial appointments.
Barack Obama made a return to the White House last night to revive the dying Democrat brand ahead of midterm elections. It can’t be overlooked that saving Democrats might have to include aborting Brandon, because if anything was accomplished in his first official visit since welcoming Trump at the North Portico, Obama utterly shamed the sitting president.

For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.
—George Washington Washington was on to something. There is no more vital safeguard of our liberties than freedom of speech. Without it, we are, as Washington graphically notes, “like sheep led to the slaughter.”
Benjamin Franklin (writing as the widow Silence Dogood) said it as plainly as it could be said. In those wretched
Establishment Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on Thursday admitted she may lose her primary bid to Donald Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka.
“I may not be re-elected,” Murkowski told the New York Times about the possible end of her 20-year Senate career.
“It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican,’ she said about Tshibaka who is leading in the polls.
“And if they say that that’s the way that Alaska has gone — kind of the same direction that so many other parts of the country have gone — I have to accept that,” Murkowski added.
Jill Biden is not an inherently interesting person. She’s been a teacher for some decades now, wrote an undistinguished thesis to get a meaningless Ed.D., and now functions as her husband’s nursemaid. She also lacks charm. And, of course, she’s White. Why someone thought a biography of her would be interesting is impossible to understand although a biography that took two people to write hit the market this past week—and completely bombed. (snip) Julie Page and Darlene Superville, both of whom are AP reporters, thought there was something there, something people would pay $26 for a hardback to learn about.
Jill Biden’s biography was a total flop and only sold 250 copies in its first week on the market.According to far-left Politico, the dulling of the Biden White House isn’t due to lack of talent in the press briefing room, but rather due to fulfillment of a central Biden promise: to beat Trump and make DC news boring again.And because DC is boring, sales of Dr. Jill’s biography: “Jill: A Biography of the First Lady” have been a little slow.It has nothing to do with the fact that Jill Biden is tacky, uninspiring, cheated on her first husband with Joe Biden and now
An innovative face mask for cows, designed to reduce methane emissions and slow down climate change, has won a prestigious design award. The wearable device for cattle, created by UK-based design group Zelp, was one of the four winners of the inaugural Terra Cart Design Lab competition. Prince Charles, who launched the competition as part of his Sustainable Markets Initiative, hailed the ground-breaking design as "fascinating" at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday, The Telegraph reported. The design, a smart harness for cows, converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Cows expel significant quantities of methane, an odorless
Winston-Salem, North Carolina – An angry customer stabbed a 16-year-old Jimmy John’s employee over a sandwich order.
Demetrius Holeman, 45, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and injury to real property for the damages to the store, WXII reported.
According to police, Holeman was on a ‘do not serve’ list at Jimmy John’s because of past behavior but she entered the store on Tuesday and became violent.
The teen victim suffered non-life threatening injuries, but was badly hurt according to WXII.
WXII reported:
A High Point woman is facing charges after, police said, she became aggressive toward a Jimmy Johns employee over her sandwich order.
Democrat senators on Friday will weigh whether or not Elon Musk should testify about how he intends to reform Twitter.
The senators’ deliberation comes after the Biden administration on Wednesday created a “Disinformation Governance Board” just two days after Musk’s inked the deal with Twitter. It appears Democrats are gearing up for a two-pronged attack on any changes Musk makes to the platform.
“We’re thinking about it,” Commerce Committee Chair Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) told Bloomberg News about a potential hearing. No hearing has yet been scheduled, but Democrats may find a hearing politically expedient.
Since Musk’s successful bid to take Twitter private, congressional Democrats have become interested
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Disinformation Governance Board would not infringe on free speech or monitor Americans.Anchor Dana Bash said, “Let’s talk about what your department is calling, The Disinformation Governance Board that you unveiled this week. Republicans are calling it Orwellian and comparing it to the ministry of truth in the novel 1984. Can you clarify what exactly is this? What exactly will this disinformation governance board do? Will it monitor American citizens? ”Mayorkas said, “Dana, I’m very pleased to do so. It’s clear, I mean, those criticisms are precisely the opposite of what this
The White House is considering using income caps to exclude high earners, and those who took out loans for medicine and law degrees, from being eligible for student-loan relief.Officials of the Biden administration are looking at limiting the relief to people earning less than $125,000 to $150,000 for individual filers, or $250,000 to $300,000 for couples filing joint taxes, according to a new report released Saturday by the Washington Post. A source told the Post that there are different proposals being floated around about how to structure this, but no final decision has been made on the plans.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in a secret visit to the war torn country’s capitol city, footage released Sunday shows.
Zelensky shared the footage showing him joined by an armed escort coming to meet Pelosi at the steps of a building in Kyiv as Ukrainian forces continue to resist bombardment from invading Russian forces.“Nice to meet you, thank you for coming,” Zelensky tells Pelosi in English.
Pelosi, the highest-ranking US government official to visit Ukraine, was joined at the meeting by Rep. Adam Schiff and other congress members, the video showed.

as Investigation into ‘Rust’ Shooting Continues 24 replies
Actor Alec Baldwin pushed gun control Friday just months after Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in an on set sequence in which Baldwin was holding the gun.
In a Friday Instagram post, the Boss Baby star wrote “We regulate many things in this country in the interest of public health and safety. Drugs, cars, professional licenses, etc. We need gun control reform. Now.”
Alec Baldwin did not describe the kinds of “gun control reform” that he wants to see, but he did post video in which numerous shots rang out near a South Carolina little league baseball game on Monday.
A California Highway Patrol officer was shot Wednesday on a major freeway in San Diego, causing it to shut down, authorities said.
The incident happened around 6:15 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 8, located just under Interstate 805 in the Mission Valley area, Captain Michael Harris of CHP said during a press conference Wednesday evening.
The officer “was investigating a traffic collision when he became involved in a struggle with a pedestrian, resulting in a single gunshot,” Harris said.
