John Fetterman has apparently engaged in some self-introspection.

The House went home on Friday without electing a speaker. The media is apoplectic that this is paralyzing the country. Last I checked everything is still running smoothly here. The pundits are worried about the country being forced to shut down some unnecessary functions next month.

My question is, “is that really a downside to this situation?”

California has apparently decided that kids should not be held accountable for their behavior in school. From the Epoch Times: ...

Senator Diane Feinstein has died. Feinstein served 30 years in the US Senate. Feinstein was 90 at the time of her death and had been in poor health for some time. Feinstein had missed several months this year when she was sidelined with a case of shingles.

Governor Newsom will appoint a replacement to fill out her term. The Democrats are calling for quick action since many “crucial” votes are coming up.

If one lives in a leftist bubble, one has to do a lot of pretending not to know things. This was evident again Sunday on The Powerhouse Roundtable hosted by George Stephanopoulos. The panel was amazed that polling is showing PDJT widening his lead over his primary opponents. In addition, he is now polling ahead of Joe Biden with a diverse group of Americans.

Multiple media reports are saying that Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash in Russia. For those who may be unfamiliar with the name, Progozhin was the leader (and owner?) of the Wagner Group. This is a significant military group that takes on military actions for Russia.

Starting the fiscal year 2026, Minnesota will give $15 million to those who have been harmed by marijuana prohibition. Yes, you read that right. If you suffered because marijuana was a prohibited substance, the State of Minnesota will see that millions of dollars are available to help you over that trauma.

Sounds like a good program for Hunter Biden.

PDJT has been battered again and again since June 2015 when he came down the escalator to announce his candidacy. Since PDJT embarked on this journey, it has been a moral crusade, one that has resonated with the people of this country and with others around the world. Regardless of what they have thrown at him, the baseless impeachments, the current made-up legal challenges, the people are seeing through the BS and the smokescreens that have been thrown up.

On Monday, PDJT released an op-ed in Newsweek that destroys the woke establishment in Washington. It distills the issues, events and consequences of all that has transpired. As President Trump notes toward the end of his discussion, “there must be a reckoning.”

Some interesting items coming out of a recent Substack post by Seymour Hersh. For those not familiar with Hersh, his story is one of fierce independence. Hersh has been at the forefront of investigative journalism for decades. The My Lai massacre expose earned Hersh a Pulitzer. This was at a time when getting a Pulitzer really meant something.

Hersh’s recent piece examines the state of the Democratic Party as the 2024 election cycle approaches.

We are now beginning to hear about an exit strategy from the morass that the West finds itself in. Ukraine is desperate to find any possible breakthrough to sell to their NATO masters at this point. However, the much-vaunted counter offensive (first in the Spring, then in June) has failed to materialize. No breakthroughs have been achieved despite massive losses of manpower and equipment

One of the fear porn stories coming out of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in June was that the Russians were planning to blow up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). Zelensky claimed that explosives were in place and that the Russians were ready to do this.

Las Vegas has a booking line on just about anything that is up for debate. One of the current lines operating is on whose baggie of cocaine was found in the White House. BetOnline made the first son the top pick that he was the one enjoying a spot of nose candy in the West Wing.

Despite plenty of videotapes and facial recognition technology, the vaunted FBI, who were able to track J6 defendants across the country and around the world, claimed they will never discover whose stash it was.

That’s because the potential offender is a “protected” class.
