ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.
Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him

Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
thanks to weft-cut loop.

This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away

Bear analyzes what a lot of bloggers are complaining about-- the drastic, if inevitable, post-election drop in traffic. He thinks the big fall is over and we're on the road to recovery. This jibes with what I've seen from my own SiteMeter stats. I had an average of 10-15,000 daily visits in the run-up to the election and shortly thereafter, after which followed a long and painful decline to a mere 3,500 or so. Granted, there were many holidays over that period, and holidays and weekends really bring one's traffic down, but still, that was quite a fall. But lately my traffic has crawled back upwards to about the level I was at before the Big September (Rathergate) and Big October (Election) months. I'm back up around 6,000 visits per day -- maybe 7,000 or 7,500 on a couple of weekdays, if I'm lucky, and half that on weekends. Is this another local spike, caused by interest in the tsunami disaster and now the Rathergate report? I hope not. Blogging is a bit like relationships, as described by Woody Allen: blogging and blog-traffic are like a shark, and always has to be moving forward, or else it dies. And what we had there for a while was a dead shark. I hope the shark's both alive and unjumped. posted by Ace at 02:08 PM Comments I'm losing hope and interest. Something has to give. I AM A CITIZEN JOURNALIST! Posted by: Jeff G on January 11, 2005 02:19 PM I was mulling-over this very topic yesterday and, I think, even if the numbers stay kind of low, a pretty great thing has been achieved. All of those people who were checking blogs in September and October now know about the existence of them, which means that they will be back any time something happens where they feel compelled to double-check the media, or at least get more information than they're getting from the papers and TV. So maybe they aren't all news-junkies who will be checking blogs daily, but they'll be back whenever something big or of particular interest to them happens. Of course, as someone who gets almost no traffic, I can afford to be blase about this... Posted by: Deus ex Macrame on January 11, 2005 02:44 PM You want to keep the traffic flowing, keep the cheesecake comin'! Politics 'N' Porn baby. Its a winner. Posted by: Iblis on January 11, 2005 02:47 PM Maybe the reduction in traffic is due to the fact that all you have been doing is wah wah wahing about CBS and Rathergate, or Memogate, or TheConservativesAreBeingHeldDownByTheLiberalMediaGate. Posted by: Ryan on January 11, 2005 03:33 PM It's a good theory, Ryan. I'll look right into it. Meanwhile, you post here all the time, and I don't think I've ever sent you an email or replied to you before. Posted by: ace on January 11, 2005 03:35 PM Who loves ya, baby? Posted by: CraigC on January 11, 2005 08:47 PM Geez Ace. You're talking about traffic slowdowns. . . when you get ten times my hits each day. And let's be honest, I look better in pleather. Be happy. It'll pick up. CBS is bound to do something stupid again eventually. Cheers, Dave at Garfield Ridge Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 11, 2005 10:40 PM I can't imagine how you can possibly do more than you do to draw hits. Perhaps more stories which gossip about something that I will not say but which rhymes with 'bass shucking.'
