If I might take the liberty to add one highlight today, as Item 44: The Times of Israel reports: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-june-08-2024/

“IDF rescues 4 Gaza hostages: Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv” - a cause for jubilation in Israel and around the world!

ITEM 17: The trial of Sen. Bob Menendez and Nadine, his partner, had better trigger a widespread investigation of every single Washington politician. Why? Because it is the tip of the iceberg, and serves as a warning that this is the way politicians get rich. Menendez is a criminal. He amassed a secret trove of gold bars and thousands of piles ofcash for "making bad things go away" during his term as a US senator. The process runs rampant in congress. We'd better get to the bottom of it, because our lawmakers are rife with politicians who create massive, corrupt personal wealth under the table. This case is a giant red flag for honest, highly qualified citizens, who would be a credit to our country by serving at its highest level. And here's the kicker: While Menendez is on trial, he is running for another term in the senate. God help our country!

Here’s another kicker: members of Congress are allowed to work (consult) for the very industries they may regulate or impact through legislation. Need cash fast? Pick a healthy industry, propose onerous laws, begin consulting. Don’t get knocked down by the flash as your Congress races to fix this travesty.

Congress needs pressure applied that forces them to change their ways. For example: voters have to replace life-long incumbents. 80-year olds running for reelection is a travesty. Thin the herd of those over 50 years of age. Dump politicians who have never held a job in their lives. When electing new, younger senators and reps becomes a trend, highly qualified people who never held office will run for congress. Also, a surge of investigations triggered by the Menendez trial is in order. We know damn well that many are on the take...and in more ways than one. expose them, prosecute them, and expel them from congress. Finally, dig into the slush funds that the senate and house use to coverup corruption. How dare they use our tax dollars as payoffs.

DJT Should have his new AG bring a RICO indictment against Congress for colluding to steal taxpayer money.

Talk about opening a can of worms. If taxpayers could get back what politicians stole, we could pave the streets with gold.

ALL of todays Highloghts were especially excellent, and two stand out in particular to me.

First is Item #28 - Musk winning the ongoing Battle for Free Speech AGAIN against the fascists in Australia. Three cheers for Elon Musk dauntless fight to keep us Free!!

Second - and not at all cheerful - is

Item #41 - Biden crapping on one of the most momentous experiences in young kids lives by preventing them from performing at the D Day ceremony, for which they’d practiced for a year!. Despicable doesn’t come close to describing such an act.

When you think you couldn’t hate this administration more, it’s tomorrow and oh yes, you can.

The item about the 2,000 students, plus their families, who practiced and traveled and paid for their travel to perform at the D-Day ceremonies is just another example of how the Left keeps alienating a new block of Americans every day.

They've got 135 days til Nov. 5th-- coming soon-- the alienation of 135 more voter blocks.

I know you believed it was impossible to embarrass a Democrat. I thought so, too. But FJB is such an embarrassment that I heard a Democrat deny he was a Democrat. The Democrat in question is a veteran who had WW II veterans in his family. The trigger was the obviously confused Poopy Pants fumbling, stumbling delivery of a D-Day speech plagiarized from Reagan.

You have described a nation without rules. Thank you for this lesson in what anarchy brings to a nation. We are witnessing a societal breakdown of the first order designed and executed by Democrats in collusion with and financially supported by our foreign enemies. Our federal (and many state) government and education institutions and major corporations are now run by terrorists, tyrants, thieves and pedophiles. The craziest and meanest inmates have been released from the asylum to take charge of our nation's destruction. Donald Trump is our only hope for restoring order and legitimate government.

Jennifer Rubin the former "conservative" writer who was "ruined" by pro-Trump conservatives? That Jennifer Rubin? What a bimbo. And btw, shouldn't DJT be able to use this $400 mil to pay off the two civil cases where he was fined the same amount? After all, they are campaign expenses, no?

"Methodists are catching up with Baptists in the number of their denominations."

Don't worry. Now that they've gone totally Woke (and Insane), the United Methodist Church will only be around for about 5-10 more years. (I say this as a former UM pastor who left with so many others last year.)

ITEM 29: NASA allowed the Boeing Starliner to launch with a known problem. One of the helium leaks had been identified and discussed, with a “management plan” that allowed the go-ahead. The NASA that I grew up with would NEVER allow a spacecraft to launch with a known defect. That’s why a comprehensive systems check was performed, with the slightest problem scrubbing the launch. I’ve seen this movie before, and it didn’t turn out OK for the crew. In addition, two additional helium leaks were identified when the spacecraft was in orbit. Problem solved, but it speaks volumes about quality control at Boeing. Once a justifiably proud aircraft manufacturer run by engineers, Boeing is becoming somewhat of a joke. But, I suppose that in space, no one can hear you laugh.
