A whole bunch of stupid GOP posturing going on. Old men yelling at clouds, pretending they understand the modern world.
Yawn. Ok boomer.
Watched Senator Mark Warner (D-Granstander) railing against RFK jr. for not knowing how many were killed by Covid. How could anyone know? If you had stage 4 brain cancer, a stroke, congenital heart failure and Covid and then died, your death was labeled a Covid death.
Recall the several gunshot deaths were labeled Covid …. until they got caught.
RFK JR is returning accountability and the senators are braying in ritual indignation. The Department of Defense has not changed, but is now acting in defense of Americans, which is a novel fetus... feature in the modern family.
“Braying” is the appropriate description of what these Democrat clowns in the Senate are doing.
O’Keefe shared a video that, he said, showed an undercover operative eliciting eyebrow-raising statements from a top DOJ official, acting Deputy Chief of Special Operations Joseph Schnitt, about the department’s files on the notorious late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, as well as a supposed deal with Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files,” the official said over lunch. He also noted that Maxwell was “transferred to a minimum-security prison too recently, which is against [Federal Bureau of Prisons] policy because she’s a convicted sex offender.” He added, “They’re offering her something to keep her mouth shut.”
So Senator Pocahontas received $800k from Big Pharma. Who knew? Hopefully everyone does now.
It would be nice if all the congress critters were similarly outed.
I’m watching RFK, Jr., facing down the Senate Democrats. He literally has no fear.
"Old men yelling at clouds"
Projection again.
This is the first anti-Trump protest that came up in a search on "no kings." Notice all the gray hair, which is not the only whiteness that dominates the photo.

FIFY, Mark, you ignorant fool. Though one of the Senators that was engaged in posturing, Bernie Sanders, is technically an independent.
"They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files,” the official said over lunch..."
Joe Biden constantly surprises me, that he sat on the information that could have destroyed Donald Trump for four years, and instead went after him on a lot of flimsy charges.
It must be true because Trump is just the kind of guy who would do this. kind of stuff, and we know he is that kind of man because the stuff that is in those files that Biden sat on probably proves it. All of the evidence of a man who lived one of the most public lives of our generation has disappeared, but I bet there is some in those files that Biden never released!
One thing I’ve been following- Atlanta Fed GDPNow predicting Q3 GDP at 3 percent. Blue Chip consensus forecast average is at one percent. Now these are all fallible I can’t recall a spread that big between the two numbers before. Have recent TDS variants hit economic forecasters extra hard?
Didn't get a chance to talk about this last night because of the heavy traffic. So I have been watching the grand cycling tours: Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, etc. The end of the season, the Vuelta a Espana, is going on now.
There's a tradition of people bringing flags to the roadside of the grand tours. Definitely the national flags, but also the regional flags: Isle of Man, Wales, Brittany, Occitane, and of course the Basque and Catalan flags, which could have gotten you a Falangist boot in the face not too long ago.
Since October 7, there have also been a lot of PLO flags on the roadside. Like lots more than any of the national/regional flags. Especially at the starts and finishes. Ok, whatevs. But this year there have also been demonstrations blocking the route. Yesterday, there was a demo blocking the finish line. The race director called the race off, with no stage winner that day, and the day's contribution to the cumulative time taken at 3.7 km short of the finish.
Just crap. RR, JSM
Our current culture is in desperate need of a Rectification of Names: 正名. Changing the name to War Department is a small start.
Fentanyl
Fentanyl can also cause serious health problems and even death from overdose.7 Like other opioids, fentanyl affects the parts of the brain that control breathing. When a person takes a higher fentanyl dose than their body can handle (an overdose), their breathing can slow to a life-threatening level.
Missed an opportunity to split into depts of offense, defense, special teams,
Philly Eagle lineman Jalen Carter was ejected 6 seconds into tonight’s first NFL game of the season. Setting the tone for brains.
Yesterday marked the six week anniversary of my second knee replacement. Better surgeon, quicker recovery than the first. Took a bike ride today.
On “Prime Time” Jesse Waters asserted that 98% of all senators receive campaign contributions from Big Pharma. If you do the math, that means only one senator does not receive money from Big Pharma. I wonder who it is? It’s not Bernie Sanders, who reportedly received almost $2 million.
uh what?
Senator Michael Bennet yelled at RFK jr - and it was sick and embarrassing.
ey - Turns out Elizabeth Warren pocketed 850,000 from big pharma.
Big Mike:
I think you need to "do the math" again: 98% of all senators is 98 senators out of 100, so only TWO do not receive money from Big Pharma.
According to OpenSecrets, which tracks money from the pharmaceutical and health product industry since 1990, the following senators have received some of the largest sums in total:
Mitch McConnell (R-KY): $2,024,061
Bernie Sanders (I-VT): $1,949,772
Marsha Blackburn (R-TN): $1,361,176
Tim Scott (R-SC): $1,140,580
Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): $1,222,965
Bill Cassidy (R-LA): $1,267,596

Via Instapundit: 'The learning comes from wrestling'
While most students are using AI to do their school work, a hardy minority is "determined to keep learning the hard way," writes Maya Sulkin in The Free Press. They fear losing their ability to think and communicate, their self-respect and their "humanity." (more at the link above)
Humperdinck - I have Knee #1 replaced in a couple of weeks. Any tips for recovery?
"Big Mike:

Hey, dividing by 100 is hard!
"The proceedings devolved into a shouting match when Kennedy confronted Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) over the risks associated with the mRNA vaccines. [..]
Bennett snapped: “You can make, you can characterize it any way you want,” ... “I quoted them today. What I said was accurate. What you said were lies.”
Kennedy immediately pushed back, demanding that Bennet answer a simple question. “Senator, are you saying that an mRNA vaccine has never been associated with myocarditis or pericarditis in teenagers?”
Caught off guard, Bennet stumbled. “I am saying, I am simply saying—”
Kennedy pressed harder. “Is that what you’re trying to tell us?”
Rather than give a straight answer, Bennet deflected, attacking Kennedy’s credibility. “I am simply trying to say that the people that you have put on that panel, after firing the entire—”
“You’re evading the question,” Kennedy said, cutting him off.
Bennet grew visibly agitated, insisting, “No, I’m asking the questions here, Mr. Kennedy.”
But Kennedy didn’t let up. “You’re evading that question.”
The exchange devolved into a heated standoff, with Bennet accusing Kennedy of failing the public. “I’m answering the questions for Mr. Kennedy on behalf of parents and schools and teachers all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership.”
Kennedy, undeterred, fired back with the point that struck at the heart of the matter: “Senator, Senator, they deserve the truth, and that’s what we’re gonna give them for the first time in the history of that agency.”

the problem for Kennedy is his voice. He struggles to speak over the yelling and lies of one hack named Michael Bennett.(D)
Biden's illegal pool of cruelty.
We are finding out that all sorts of un-accompanied illegal minors where taken away by shadowy people who did not have any family ties with the children- and many of these children became tantamount to slaves or disappeared into the illegal sex trade..
Colorado - a known sanctuary state - is one of 10 states used as a clearing house for illegals and illegal sex trafficking.
@Jamie. If you are getting the traditional knee replacement, stay ahead of the pain. That is, don’t wait for the pain to rear its ugly head before you take the pain med. Take the med in advance. You can anticipate when it’s coming.
My second knee replacement, the surgeon froze the 4 nerves in the quadricep above the knee 3 weeks ahead of the surgery to reduce post surgery pain (they are still numb, but will be normalized in 1-2 months).
Learn to love rehab.
And to make the situation at the Vuelta worse, the media were 'speculating' about (unnamed, of course) riders who want Israel Premier Tech to withdraw from the Vuelta in the interests of 'Safety'. Which, quite rightly, they have refused to do. Today seems to have passed without any serious issue; my suspicion is that those pro-Hamas/Palestine protestors, who are doubtless (there as elsewhere) decently well organised, are just waiting for a 'better' opportunity.
the problem for Kennedy is his voice
Can he not require ADA accommodations as vocally challenged selectively against D " invectors"
They loved Kennedy when he was a democrat.
Maybe half as much as they loved Trump.
That includes the leftys here
Having seen the inside of this before in a previous life, pharma gives more money indirectly than directly. I can pretty much guarantee that every Senator and House member gets pharma money whether it is publicly traceable or not.
@Dr. Weevil, @Original Mike, the University of Illinois is on the phone and they want me to return the B.S. I earned in math in 1968. I must have been thinking 50 states, which as you kindly point out means 100 senators.
@Big Mike: Stand firm. Hold out for a remedial arithmetic course. I think they have those now.

Words have meaning, and that meaning should be tethered to reality. Unfortunately, we live in an age of euphemism and corruption of the language where that is not the case.
So, has Trump been seen in public the last 6 hours or is he dead again?
