Highlights of the week

ITEM ZERO: Biden had no comment on the fires that torched Maui. But Obama took a first-hand look, surveyed the damage, and showed his angry side.

The Daily Mail reported, “Trouble in paradise? Scowling Barack Obama inspects the construction of his new multimillion-dollar Hawaii mansion and controversial sea wall which his neighbors fear will erode the beachline.

“Construction appears to be well underway on Barack Obama’s Hawaii beachfront compound.

“Obama was pictured speaking to builders and architects from a local island-based building firm.

“The former President did not look happy in photos snapped of him as he spoke with the construction crew.

“Obama could be seen with his arms folded and making pointed gestures before turning around to walk inside.”

Our first gay president has all the empathy of a dung beetle.

Meanwhile, the fire did not touch the mansions but cleared plenty of acreage for future houses of the unholy. The conspiracy theory is that this was sabotage designed to give the rich third or fourth homes.

Aloha, natives.

ITEM 1: Congratulations to Rory Ehrlich, 6, of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, for winning this year’s Best Mullet Contest, Kids Division. The contest raised $176,799.30 for the Wounded Warriors Project.

It’s a mullet that is worthy of Billy Ray Cyrus.

ITEM 2: Fox reported, “Bear briefly interrupts Tennessee high school’s football practice.”

He left when the coach told the bear he belongs in Chicago.

ITEM 3: The ReMix reported, “American transsexual becomes a spokesperson for Ukrainian forces.”

No, its last name isn’t Vindwoman.

Yes, the Russians laugh and point at him/her/whatever and laugh some more. Zelensky is doing everything he can to prolong this war.

ITEM 4: Fani Willis went down to Georgia and indicted Trump for questioning the state’s rigged election. Among the charges is calling Mike Pence a wimp.

Newt Gingrich said, “'We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850s. This indictment is a desperate effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent, in a way which obliterates the Constitution.”

The indictments show we already are there, pal.

ITEM 5: Breitbart reported, “Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore (R) took the first step on Thursday towards impeaching Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for her actions against former President Donald Trump, a memo exclusively obtained by Breitbart News shows.”

Schedule the trial to coincide with Trump’s.

ITEM 6: The Daily Mail reported, “DeSantis says Trump shares blame for legal troubles because he had three years to fire FBI chief Christopher Wray, let Hillary Clinton off the hook — and failed to fire Soros-backed prosecutors.”

Ron DeSperate.

The Senate would not confirm a successor to Wray, Comey destroyed the evidence, and presidents cannot fire local prosecutors. Other than that, Johnny Hindsight is 100% correct.

The indictments killed DeSantis’s plans for 2024 and his campaign is killing DeSantis in 2028 because a loss by Trump will be hung on all who opposed him in 2024.

A win by Trump makes him the kingmaker in 2028 and everyone who opposed him in 2024 will be rejected.

Ramaswamy is running the smart campaign. Republicans need Trump voters.

ITEM 7: UPI reported, “A federal judge has formally dismissed the two misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden following last month's surprise collapse of a plea deal.

“U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika dismissed the charges at the request of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss who had asked the court to do so last week after the plea deal fell apart in court as both sides failed to agree on whether its terms stipulated that Hunter Biden would be immune from facing future related charges.”

The downside is the government won’t be able to present a lame, half-hearted prosecution.

The upside is, President Trump can still prosecute the bastard thanks to the lifting immunity from any prosecution, or as I call it, the Hillary Blue Plate Special.

ITEM 8: The Washington Post owned by Jeff Bezos said, “She accused her ex of revenge porn. A jury said he should pay her $1.2 billion.”

According to the Bezos Post, she wasn’t named, he wasn’t named and the trial was held in her absence in Houston. If true, some judge (also not named) needs to be removed from the bench because this is a ridiculous award.

I say if true because the Bezos Post still swears up and down that Russiagate is true.

ITEM 9: AP whined, “Transgender youth in North Carolina lost access Wednesday to gender-affirming medical treatments after the Republican-led General Assembly overrode the governor’s vetoes of that legislation and other bills touching on gender in sports and LGBTQ+ instruction in the classroom.”

Those medical treatments consist of castrating boys and lopping the breasts off girls.

The story was written by Hannah Schoenbaum “a proud member of NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists.” It is not just Hamas that AP shields.

PUTTING THE SIN IN CINCINNATI:

ITEM 10: The Gazette in Colorado reported, “Former President Donald Trump called President Joe Biden a Manchurian candidate for China.”

How dare he? That is slander and traitorous talk!

NYT on January 11, 2017, asked, “Donald Trump: A Modern Manchurian Candidate?”

ITEM 11: The government said, “Former Special Agent In Charge Of The New York FBI Counterintelligence Division Pleads Guilty to Conspiring To Violate U.S. Sanctions On Russia.”

So the FBI — not Trump — colluded with Russia. Do I get a Pulitzer for reporting this? I mean it actually happened, unlike Russiagate.

ITEM 12: AP said, “Americans are divided along party lines over Trump's actions in election cases, AP-NORC poll shows.”

Even Captain Obvious rolled his eyes. AP should give up polling and stick to what it does best: shielding Hamas and promoting the castration of little boys.

ITEM 13: PJ Media reported, “The live-action, woke-AF remake of Snow White looks like it’s going to be Disney’s next big-budget flop — and it also looks like the struggling studio already has someone primed to take the fall.”

That would be Rachel Zegler, the Latinx who will play the title role. So much for the character being white as snow. She publicly trashed the 1937 Disney original — a cartoon — and called Prince Charming a creepy stalker.

Zegler first starred in Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side Story. It bombed.

Then she co-starred in the sequel to the hit Shazam! It bombed.

She should have played Fat Man in Oppenheimer.

ITEM 14: Slay News reported, “Transgender Child Molester Found Dead in Jail Cell.”

She was a female-to-male Transformer. A likely suicide, so she saved taxpayers the cost of a trial.

ITEM 15: World News Daily reported, “‘I am in heat’: Ashley Biden’s childhood trauma a ‘red flag’ she was molested, experts say.”

Sad story. It may have been a neighbor and not Joe.

If we looked into the history of some of these trans kids, we might find there really were monsters under their bed too.

ITEM 16: Speaking of the dead, the Wall Street Journal reported, “Target said shopper backlash over its Pride Month collection, as well as cautious consumers, pushed sales sharply lower in the most recent quarter.

“The retailer said it expected sales to decline again in the current quarter and lowered its profit goal for the full year. Executives said they would still mark Pride Month next year but with a more focused assortment of merchandise.”

Pride not only is a cardinal sin but it is a bad marketing strategy.

Meanwhile, after Try That In A Small Town and Rich Men North Of Richmond both became No. 1, all the country singers in the world are begging liberals to boycott them.

ITEM 17: Megyn Kelly tweeted, “This is Joe Biden’s rep (a man posing as a woman — and not convincingly) endorsing the idea of scrubbing the term women for ‘egg producers.’ So jealous he can’t be female he wants to erase those of us who are. IT’S A NO.”

It is the 21st century. They still don’t like being called chicks.

Remember when the blonde woman kicked the dark-haired man in the ratings every night?

That was awesome.

ITEM 18: Hot Air reported, “Tuesday was a banner day for censorship in America.

“Within an hour of each other, I saw two prominent individuals lose access to major publishing platforms. In one case, Apple removed with no warning and no explanation Glenn Beck’s podcast from their platform, and in the other Scott Adams announced that Amazon has permanently banned him from self-publishing his books on their Kindle platform.”

Meanwhile, Amazon still peddles the child pornographic book Gender Queer.

But you must be 18 or older to buy it. Amazon isn’t a school library.

ITEM 19: Legal Insurrection reported, “Oh man, if this keeps up, I might stop hating insurance companies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

“First, we find out insurance companies are refusing to reimburse Oberlin College for the $36 million it had to pay Gibson’s Bakery, Oberlin College [sued its insurers].

“Now, the First Circuit just rejected a $15 million insurance claim by Harvard University against its insurance company for legal fees incurred in defending the Students For Fair Admissions case that ended up with a sweeping defeat for Harvard (and a win for equality and equal protection) in the Supreme Court.”

I cannot wait until insurers stop covering liberal colleges.

ITEM 20: The Washington Examiner reported, “Anheuser-Busch heir Billy Busch said he would be the first to buy back Bud Light should the beer’s parent company AB InBev want to sell it.”

Busch said the old brew masters knew their base. He said, “They knew who their drinkers were. . . . Even my dad at 89 years old, 90 years old, he was still going to the bars selling Budweiser back in those days.”

Even the Clydesdales won’t drink it.

ITEM 21: CNN reported, “Biden administration to invest $1.2 billion in projects to suck carbon out of the air.”

Couldn’t they just have Kamala do it for them? We already are paying her and she sucks.

ITEM 22: Medical Express reported, “How old are you, really? AI can tell your true age by looking at your chest.”

Great. Just what large-breasted women need, another entity staring at their chests.

ITEM 23: The Texas Tribune reported, “The state’s electric grid operator is asking people to reduce their power use between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday, when forecasters expect to see high demand for electricity because of extremely hot temperatures that are baking the state.”

Boo, hoo, hoo.

Texans fell for that Sierra Club “coal is filthy” campaign propaganda 16 years ago. I am sitting across the river from a coal-fired power plant in Poca, West Virginia, with the AC running at 74 degrees 24/7 this summer.

By the way, the coal for Texas would come from Wyoming, the nation’s largest supplier of steam coal.

ITEM 24: CNN reported, “A dual citizen of France and Canada who sent letters containing homemade ricin to then-President Donald Trump and eight Texas law enforcement officials was sentenced Thursday to nearly 22 years in prison.

“Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier sent threatening letters containing the poison in September 2020, according to the federal plea agreement filed earlier this year.”

Homemade ricin. Was it Uncle Ben’s or Minute Rice?

ITEM 25: The Hill reported, “Former President Trump’s refusal to sign the Republican National Committee’s loyalty pledge is putting the organization in a bind as next week’s GOP primary debate approaches.”

They should have just dropped the requirement then. It isn’t like Christie or Pence will keep their word when Trump is nominated.

ITEM 26: Tucker Carlson will interview Trump while Republicans and Fox hold their debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Hahaha.

What better way to show they need him more than he needs them?

Even NYT gets it.

ITEM 27: Via Zero Hedge, Oliver Anthony says he turned down million-dollar from the record companies now that Rich Men North of Richmond is a hit.

He said, “People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don’t want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don’t want to play stadium shows, I don’t want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they’re being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place.”

I don’t think the offer was $8 million but 8 million-dollar offers.

We have enough Taylor Swifts. We need a few more Waylons, Willie and the Boys.
