Early UK election returns show a dark horse candidate gaining steam

I'm keeping an eye out for the UK election results. I'll post 'em when I see 'em.
UK's government account advises, "Be sure to bring your photo ID"
Remember when America was a real-life first world country? I do. I 'member.

Trump Golf Video

The murder thriller Deathtrap with Michael Caine is free on YouTube
I like it. The guy who wrote Sleuth wrote this. It does have a bit of a gay vibe, but it's good.
BTW Sleuth is also available, illegally, on YouTube, but it's such a terrible low quality (240 p!) that I turned it off.

Funny article by Emily Yoffe:
She points out the media is continuing to gaslight us, and then notes that the White House is calling those who want Biden to step down the "Bed-Wetter Brigade."

But you don't have to be a doctor, or even a Google doctor like most of us, to conclude that these explanations sound like cover-ups. The people around Biden have also decided to turn the tables on the growing number of commentators and others who have concluded, based on recent observation, that Biden is unfit to have a second term. They have diagnosed those calling for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race as being "bed-wetters." It does seem to be a bad idea to inject the notion of incontinence into this discussion.

"Bed-wetters"... isn't that a political internet insult from like 1998? Isn't that what the left called people worried or offended by Clinton's perjuries and alternative methods of cigar storage?
Even this gang's insults are 25 years past their prime.

Julie Kelly @julie_kelly2 Joe Biden can authorize Seal Team Six to assassinate his political opponent but only between 10am and 4pm

I'll be taking off July 4 and most of July 5. I have a lot of open threads prepared. On Friday, I will post news, if it's big news. (I guess if there's really big news on the Fourth, I'll post that too.)
But I won't search for news if it's a slow news day, which is what it probably will be. The hardest work is on slow news days and I'm not going to put the work on Friday for that. I'll just post open threads of posts with thin content (a link and a quote, basically). I need a little time off. It's Biden Time (TM). I'm going to go for a bike-fall.
If any cobs want to post on Friday (or on July 4), then please do. But don't think you have to or anything. I will be around to cover the site.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Observation: We on the right, and I definitely include myself here, made a tactical error in setting the expectations for Joe Biden so low that only a truly cognitively challenged man could fail to clear them. We set the victory conditions for Biden as just requiring that he form some coherent sentences, some of the time.
We screwed up.
But he still failed to beat the low, low expectations we set. We spotted him thirty points and he still threw six interceptions for touchdowns.

A commenter (sorry, I forget the name) pointed this out: if Biden had "a cold," why did he go to the Waffle House and touch people? Remember a "season of death," Joe? Once again we see the left's highly-contingent rules of "quarantine:" You must quarantine yourselves while they get haircuts, super-luxe French dinners, and chicken and waffles. Not to mention burning down businesses and killing cops.

Greg Gutfeld: They lied, they all lied
Good and necessary mockery and gloating. Liars should be mocked and despised.

Trump: The problem with Biden is not his age, he's the "most incompetent president in the history of our country"
Via John Sexton with more arguing among Democrats about whether to support Joe or flush him

Bari Weiss: "They Knew."

Rarely are so many lies dispelled in a single moment. Rarely are so many people exposed as liars and sycophants. Last night's debate was a watershed on both counts. The debate was not just a catastrophe for President Biden. And boy--oy--was it ever. But it was more than that. It was a catastrophe for an entire class of experts, journalists, and pundits, who have, since 2020, insisted that Biden was sharp as a tack, on top of his game, basically doing handstands while peppering his staff with tough questions about care for migrant children and aid to Ukraine. Anyone who committed the sin of using their own eyes on the 46th president was accused, variously, of being Trumpers; MAGA cult members who don't want American democracy to survive; ageists; or just dummies easily duped by "disinformation," "misinformation," "fake news," and, most recently, "cheapfakes."

Hat tip David Strom at Hot Air. Strom adds:

We need to remind people that they have been lied to. Forty-eight million people watched the debate according to the ratings, and they saw what they saw: that the media lied. We need to focus on that.

Indeed. Do not let them evade responsibility for their own remorseless, conscienceless, unceasing lying by claiming they were mere "dupes" of the White House.

Time's cover: "Panic."

Heritage puts out the call for researchers to help with issues regarding replacing a candidate -- to challenge the Democrats' maneuverings, I assume

So, to get those possibly-drifting Jewish voters back into the Democratic camp, some moron has come up with a Jewish superhero -- a Jewish grandmother named "Bubbie" -- and put together a cartoon of her kicking the ass of the GOP. It's every bit as funny as you'd think. By which I mean: Not funny. Fucking embarassing. I did a Jewish Grandmother schtick the other day. But my schtick was ironic. (Not funny, mind you, but ironic.) I mean, the Jewish grandmother thing is such a cliche that it's only funny when you're playing it as a cliche. Not for real. Then it's just fucking stupid and trite. This asshole really seems to think that Jews need a Jewish cartoon character to inspire them to vote the right way. Eh. Or, should I say: Feh. It remains an amazement to me that I am not yet on television. Update: The Hebrew-sounding synth music is really subtle, too. I'm not saying it's racist or anti-semitic, mind you. It's just... jackass. In order to do my part to convert Jewish voters to the GOP, I'm going to spend the next week talking about nothing except Fiddler on the Roof and Ben Gazzarra. Better Still: I'll get Bowzer to guest-blog. That'll bring the Jewish vote. Because, if I know one thing about politics, I know this to be diamond-hard fact: Jews. Love. Fuckin'. Bowzer. Bowzer. posted by Ace at 05:04 PM Comments I saw this idiotic thing this morning. Pathetic JibJab wanna be. Posted by: blakjack on October 13, 2004 05:24 PM My goodness... that had the potential of being funny... but once the grandmother began spouting talking points I shut it off. You'd think they'd be able to make it at least a little funny. Posted by: Rob on October 13, 2004 05:33 PM This was pretty offensive in of itself. THat it was hosted by an official arm of the DNC is extremely offensive. You would think after that little to-do in Europe 60 or so years ago the JEws would be more sensitive about wildly inaccurate charges made in the form of grotesque caricature. Posted by: Eric Pobirs on October 13, 2004 07:03 PM Fuck This is possibly even more outrageous than that Condi-as-plantation-mammy cartoon. I can't believe Jews were involved in creating this. The part where Perle and Wolfowitz say "we're one of you" and start doing the hora hit me right in the gut; it's very nearly anti-Semitic. Actually this reminds me of that stupid "Choice Girl" animation they had a while ago, down to almost every detail. Maybe next week it'll be "Trial Lawyer Man". Posted by: Yaron on October 14, 2004 12:15 AM Nah, come on. I don't think it's actually anti-semitic. Even if Jews weren't involved with it, I don't think it's anti-semitic. I don't like the left's tendency to take EVERY play on an ethnic stereotype, no matter how inoffensively meant, as an "outrage" (at least when committed by political opponents). The cartoon is fucking stupid and jackass and yeah, trite in its peddling of a very well-worn Jewish grandma stereotype. But I think we have to distinguish bad humor from ill humor. Posted by: ace on October 14, 2004 01:22 AM Well, nearly so. Taken out of context, showing Perle and Wolfowitz doing the hora might seem like an innocent joke (not a funny joke, but that's another story), but given the vitriol at the Jews/"neo-cons" who have been involved in creating our foreign policy, I'd say it's treading on very thin ice. Posted by: Yaron on October 14, 2004 11:16 AM "Pathetic JibJab wanna be." I'm glad someone else noticed the animation style was a poor imitation of Jibjab.
