Hyperpartisan Democrat and venomous liberal congressman Gerry Connelly has died
He already announced he would not stand for re-election in 2026. His death leaves the Democrat caucus down one until/unless another Democrat is elected to fill out his term. Virginia should do what New York State did and delay this special election until... well, until the next election in 2026.
Audio of Biden's interview with special investigator Hur leaks
He's not just a confused old man with a poor memory, he's pretty much incoherent.
Update: longer clip here. He just rambles and pauses and gets lost and has to be helped every sentence by either his aides or lawyers or by the investigators themselves.

Podcast: CBD and J.J. Sefton chat about the Trump initiatives in the Middle East, and how his desire for a deal might jeopardize long-term stability, judicial overreach, Newark Airport, and more! (Link should be working now, JJS)
Great catch: Alex Thompson claims the videos showing his co-conspirator @JakeTapper repeatedly fulminating at anyone questioning Biden's fitness are "deceptively edited."
Note that this is the exact same "cheapfake" lie used to protect Biden from video evidence of his mental infirmity.
Mark Levin goes off on "schmuck" and "little bastard" Tucker Carlson
He revives Rush Limbaugh's insult of Carlson as "Chatsworth Osbourne Jr."
The dispute is over whether the term "neocon" is being used as a paper-thin euphemism for "Jew" or not. I don't know, I think maybe Levin is flying off the handle over this one thing, but there is no doubt that Chastworth Osbourne Jr. has been getting friendlier and friendlier with the "Jews Manipulate and Control Us" Unz Reader crowd.

Oliver Willis: Barack Obama "Smells Like A Movement"

Ah, ODub. The days when I used to give shit movement.

Just for the sake of nostalgia, I'll note ODub has stepped in crap again in headlining a dump of a pro-Obama post as Smells Like a Movement.

A movement reeking of Filet-O-Fish, Funions, and failure, I imagine.

This is the first time in Michelle Obama's adult life she's been proud of the modern sewage and sanitation system.

Brand Democrat, baby.


Thanks to The Chap In The Deerstalker Cap.

Who's Oliver Willis? Well, no one. Cuffy Meigs wants to know what the backstory is on this.

Basically two people got me into blogging:

Karol from Alarming News was the first person I ever actually met who had a blog, and she told me it was easy to do. I had long thought you had to write your own code and buy your own server and that sort of thing. So she encouraged me.

And then there was Oliver Willis. Around 9/11 when I started reading blogs (as most of you did, I'm guessing), there really weren't all that many. One of them was Oliver Willis, and Instapundit used to link him all the time, despite the fact he was a drooling imbecile.

This pissed me off to no end, and as I have said before, somewhat comically, I decided that if there were dribbling morons out there who would get attention from the public for saying incredibly stupid and/or obvious and/or plainly erroneous shit, well, I was at least 10 IQ points smarter than the average spit-bubbling cretin and should have that attention myself.

I say that comically but it's the truth, actually.

So, the early history of this blog consisted of numerous posts in which I made fun of Oliver Willis and also sometimes Instapundit for linking this braying jackass.

I haven't done that in a long time -- I mean, look, there's a reason you haven't heard the name "Oliver Willis" before -- but I thought I'd slap his silly ass one last time based on this sorta-funny little tip.
