Knucklehead Of The Week: After Mar-a-Lago
Raid, Entire GOP Has Trump’s Back, With
One Exception… Chris Christie

One thing we must give Democrats credit for is their unity. Yes, certain members of the party such as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) will occasionally diverge from the party line and oppose particularly radical pieces of legislation, but when it comes to big moments and key votes – on impeachment, for instance – Democrats circle the wagons. Contrarily, Republicans tend to fracture at the most inopportune moments, which is why it was refreshing to see virtual unanimity amongst the GOP after Monday’s outrageous raid on former President Donald Trump’s residence Mar-a-Lago. Almost all notable Republicans supported Trump after the ordeal; all except for one.

One of former President Donald Trump’s strongest and most endearing personality traits is his relentless sense of humor. He’s a very funny guy. Depending on the day’s events and available subject matter, a television interview can come across like a sitcom script, sprinkled amongst some profound takes on political topics, and rants at some of his rallies can rival those of some of today’s best stand-up comedians.
We’ve had humorous presidents before, with Ronald Reagan quickly coming to mind, but none at the level of Trump. And despite the intense friction in today’s political climate and national tensions having been ratcheted to previously unseen levels after last week’s outrageous Mar-a-Lago Raid,
Was Jamie Foxx’s movie ‘All-Star Weekend’
too provocative for cancel-culture comedy censors? 5 replies

Is this the funniest comedy you’ll never see — because of cancel culture?
In 2016, Jamie Foxx, 54, and Jeremy Piven, 57, started filming “All-Star Weekend,” a movie about two NBA-obsessed friends in Indiana. Piven’s character is Steph Curry’s biggest fan, while Foxx’s worships LeBron James. The pair win tickets to the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles and on their way out west, they run into a cast of wacky characters and find themselves in a dangerous situation with their hoop idols.
The premise and the cast, which includes Robert Downey Jr., Benicio del Toro, Gerard Butler and Eva Longoria, seem like a slam dunk.

Less than a week ago, the tragedy of four brutal murders in New Mexico appeared to be a windfall for Democrats. It was a perfect, yet bloody, scenario for the party that doesn’t hesitate to try and exploit every and any tragedy that fits their larger narrative. And while we can’t be sure that any Democrats were actually happy about four men being dead, we know that internally they were thrilled about the circumstances. We could almost see them doing cartwheels in their heads as they discussed the matter.
Muslims, of course, are included in the Democrats’ intersectional hierarchy of victimhood.
Hours after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate, former President Donald Trump posted an apocalyptic-sounding campaign-style video saying the US has become a “failing nation” — as his daughter-in-law said Democrats were “terrified” the 45th president would announce another White House bid “any day.”
During an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Lara Trump claimed that Monday’s hours-long FBI action was “about weaponizing the justice system,
Elon Musk questioned President Joe Biden’s ongoing effort to release WNBA star Brittney Griner from a Russian prison while thousands are locked up in the US for the same offense.
Griner was sentenced to nine years in Russia for cannabis possession and Musk noted others locked up on American soil aren’t getting the same attention from the White House.
“If the president is working so hard to free someone who is in jail in Russia for some weed, shouldn’t we free people in America?” the Tesla CEO asked on an episode of the “Full Send” podcast this week.
If politics and society mirror the natural world, then we might conclude that for every phenomenon there is a counter-phenomenon there to balance things out. In the context of our weekly tribute to stupidity, therefore, we would declare that for every knucklehead, there is an anti-knucklehead. That theory might not hold true in every instance, but it certainly holds true in this situation. Andrew Warren, an elected prosecutor in Hillsborough County Florida, inexplicably determined that he wasn’t merely elected to enforce the laws, he was there to write and adjudicate them as well. And then Warren ran into anti-knucklehead extraordinaire: Governor Ron DeSantis.

After Devastating Guilty Verdict And Stiff Sentence 51 replies
In February, American basketball star Brittney Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport after attempting to bring cannabis oil into the country, which is illegal according to Russian law. In the almost six months since being apprehended, Griner has lingered in a less-than-comfortable prison cell. On Thursday, the legal proceedings of the case came to a close when a Russian court delivered a guilty verdict, followed by a harsh sentence of nine years behind bars.
None of Thursday’s developments should have come as a surprise to anyone. As we’ve noted before, 99% of all Russian prosecutions end with a guilty verdict, and with a maximum available sentence of ten years,
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been deploying body doubles at recent public outings to hide health problems, said a Ukrainian military official who claimed that the decoys have different ears than the strongman.
Ukrainian military intelligence chief Major General Kyrylo Budanov suggested on Ukrainian television this week that Putin’s ears looked different across several of the leader’s public appearances.
“The picture, let’s say, of the ears, is different. And it’s like a fingerprint, each person’s ear picture is unique.
For anyone who doubted the level to which Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is disconnected from the average American, as well as the overwhelming majority of conservatives and/or Republicans, they need not look any further than Cheney’s embracing of a recent Hollywood endorsement. Cheney is apparently thrilled that actor Kevin Costner has thrown his support behind her candidacy in the GOP Wyoming Primary election in two weeks.
The 56-year-old congresswoman is fighting for her political life, attempting to win a fourth term in office. Thanks to her inexplicable disdain for former President Donald Trump, her continual Democratic hobnobbing on leftwing media outlets,
Elon Musk’s dad held nothing back when asked by Australian radio talk show hosts to weigh in on his Tesla founder son’s life and career, revealing he was not proud of the billionaire businessman and favored his brother Kimbal.
Errol Musk, 76, on Monday called into Kyle and Jackie O’s show on the Australian radio station KIIS FM for a brutally honest 20-minute interview, in which he downplayed Elon’s success and took a swipe at his physical appearance — claiming that he even suggested the 50-year-old take diet pills after seeing his shirtless photos on a boat in Greece.

Fix For Monkeypox… Just Change The Name 15 replies
There’s an approach by Democrats to problem-solving that is becoming increasingly common, and it’s a tactic that focuses on our language. Rather than fixing problems, they instead attempt to either eliminate words from our daily lexicon or simply change the definition of the word. In March in the deep blue state of New Jersey, for instance, we saw the practice in action when state lawmakers eliminated the word “inmate” from their criminal code in favor of “incarcerated person.” We saw another example of it this week when the Biden Administration insisted on trying to redefine the term “recession.”

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said in an interview with The Hill TV that the “majority” of Republican voters are “stupid” and “evil.”
Discussing the brand of the Democratic Party, Carville said, “So much of what has happened to my party is we tend to get defined by some over-educated, totally doofus coastal elites that are out trying to write dictionaries or something unrelated to anybody’s life. And that kind of stuff has a tendency to be very sticky, to stick with people. It is not who the party is. They are a very small part of the Democratic Party.” He continued, “These people have the ability to irritate.
It’s abundantly clear that former Vice President Mike Pence is going to run for president in 2024. He’s been putting in the leg work lately, with a scheduled trip to New Hampshire coming up. He’s also positioned himself as a Trump foil in the mid-term GOP primaries, taking a contrary position to the former president in several states, most recently in Arizona.
For my part, I think Pence’s pursuit is delusional. There is exactly one person in the GOP who would be palatable to Trump voters if Trump himself weren’t the nominee, and his name is Ron DeSantis.
We sure dodged a bullet.
New York – Bill and Hillary Clinton were spotted strolling down the beach in the Hamptons on Tuesday.
Hillary looked haggard in an oversized blue button down shirt and baggy pants as she walked next to hubby Bill during their annual getaway to the Hamptons.
The Daily Mail reported:A haggard-looking Bill and Hillary Clinton are seen strolling down the beach during their annual getaway to The Hamptons.
Dressed in matching blue tops, the former first couple walked barefoot side-by-side on the sand followed by two Secret Service agents Tuesday afternoon.
CDC Admits Its Covid Performance Was Lacking
36 replies
Today CDC Director Rochelle Walensky released a video to the agency’s 11,000 employees that was sharply critical of CDC’s covid performance:
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled.
“To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes, from testing to data to communications,” she said in a video distributed to the agency’s roughly 11,000 employees.
Dr. Walensky said the C.D.C.’s future depended on whether it could absorb the lessons of the last few years,
Elon Musk has warned Republicans to 'stay out of people's bedrooms' and be more supportive of migrants if they want to be electorally successful.
The 51-year-old billionaire was speaking on Tuesday night at a gathering of Republican donors, hosted by John Nau - chairman and CEO of Silver Eagle Beverages, one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the nation.
Musk was invited by Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, whose constituency encompasses the Bakersfield, California location of SpaceX.
Musk and McCarthy held what was billed as 'a fireside chat' for the audience, which took place close to where the state's sole US representative Liz Cheney was losing her seat
Fox News host Laura Ingraham recently said Americans might be ready “to turn the page” on President Trump as he decides whether to run for president a third time.
Ingraham said the following during an appearance on Lisa Boothe’s podcast.
"The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.”
Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men. Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself — both anal as well as oral intercourse — is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission. The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor.
It’s astonishing how, by the time we normal folk first hear of a new Globalist Socialist initiative, it turns out there’s already a significant amount of infrastructure in place. Take eating bugs, for example. Did you know that there are currently sizable cricket farms in many parts of the world, including Canada and the United States? Or that cricket flour is already used in some foods?
For example, Entomo Farms in Canada currently produces a weekly harvest of 50 million crickets, which it mills into 9,000 pounds of “protein.” The owners plan to triple production within a year. Some of the “cricket flour” goes into pet foods, while some
The Democrat strategist behind Bill Clinton's successful 1992 presidential campaign said Wednesday that the FBI's unannounced search of Donald Trump's property is 'the biggest story since' the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
'Ragin' Cajun' James Carville predicted that the raid of Mar-a-Lago would become a 'very tricky' issue for Republican lawmakers if the Justice Department's investigation of Trump uncovers illegal acts.
'The problem the Republican Party has is, they got really stupid people that vote in their primaries,' Carville told The Hill TV. 'Really stupid people demand to have really stupid leaders.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who earned former President Donald Trump’s primary-race endorsement in April, is going down in flames according to a new GOP poll.
Republican-affiliated Public Opinion Strategies reports that surgeon-turned-TV-host Dr. Oz trails Democrat John Fetterman by nearly 20 points. Trump gave Oz his “complete and total endorsement” before the wide-open GOP primary of six candidates, a move that probably sealed the deal with Pennsylvania Republicans.
The doc won in a squeaker, barely beating out second-place finisher David McCormick, 31.2% to 31.1%.
The former president praised Oz’s positions on abortion, crime, the Second Amendment, border security, the military, education, energy independence
CNN has cancelled Brian Stelter's Sunday show after new boss Chris Licht vowed to clean up the network, according to Yashar Ali.
Chief media correspondent and Reliable Sources Host is the first casualty of the network after Licht took over in early 2022.
Stelter confirmed in a statement to NPR that he would be stepping down from the show, which he has hosted for the past nine years and celebrated its 30th anniversary in March
The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly told U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart Thursday that it wants the affidavit that authorized a search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home sealed for fear he will destroy documents.
The report, by Mark Meredith of Fox News, came as Reinhart indicated that he was prepared to release portions of the affidavit, giving the DOJ one week to prepare redactions to the text. Meredith (via legal scholar Jonathan Turley) reported: (Tweet) As Turley noted, however, the DOJ’s argument, if delivered as reported, was odd, because it placed less emphasis on protecting confidential informants (CI’s) and other aspects of the ongoing investigation.
