Viking Pundit

I can't believe that ABC/Disney extended Kimmel's by a (token) one year after his Charlie Kirk comment.  IF anything, they've freed him up to say even more outrageous things, daring ABC to fire him.  Then, if that does happen, he can spend the rest of his days as a First Amendment martyr.

Trump has utterly broken this man-child and his schtick is a stone-cold bore.

Extra - Speaking of insufferable celebrities, here's Sasha Stone on Bruce Springsteen and his new band: "So here comes No Kings, complete with aging billionaire boomer Bruce, irritating aristocrat Jane Fonda, and screeching socialist Bernie Sanders to remind everyone just how crazy and how unbearable all of them still are and how they see themselves as morally superior."

People like Springsteen and DeNiro and Fonda and Kimmel can't sit down and discuss their thoughts with anybody slightly adversarial...so they don't.

I believe reconciliation can only be used for budgetary purposes so I don't see how voter ID can pass under this structure.

Why would we believe anything the Iranians have to say, given their history?  How can whoever is "authority" now even make that promise, given the chaos over there?

As the post notes, Illinois governor J.D. Pritzker had time to travel up to Minnesota but can't be bothered to say a single word about somebody killed in his backyard.

If the goal here is to help out the TSA and make the security lines move faster, I'm all for that.  But if the goal is to stick it to the Democrats, I'm not sure it's going to open the logjam on funding.  As always, it never would have gotten this far if the mainstream media put appropriate pressure on the Democrats for once.

All you need to do is watch a couple of minutes of James Klug or Kaitlin Bennett to find the limits of the Left's intelligence.

I loathe these soy boy scribes.  Want to know why men gravitate to Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan?  It's because of fem-boys like Gavin Newsom and this "journalist." 

I continue to be amazed to think that Gavin Newsom is considered a serious candidate for the Presidency.  Everything - everything! - in California is a train wreck.

Except for the train.  Because it hasn't been built.

As this article explains, CNN (!) fact-checked Chuck Schumer in real time on his wild mendacity.  This is a litmus test for the MSM.  It's time to report the truth and not the preferred narrative.

That country, man.  I've read so many stories like this.

The 60-vote threshold stops bad bills, but it also makes it impossible for the GOP to pass good ones."

First of all, the Democrats did try to eliminate the filibuster and it was thwarted by Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona and Joe Manchin from West Virginia.  I firmly believe that they were the sacrificial lambs for the Democrats to act tough.  Democrats don't really want to eviscerate minority rights in the Senate and this is especially true for Democrats from smaller states.  Turning the Senate into just another version of the House robs these Senators of the (arguably outsized) power they have in that chamber.

Second, "what goes around comes around."  Republicans will be in the minority sometime in the future and the GOP shouldn't set the standard.  Look what happened when the Democrats triggered the "nuclear option" on judicial nominees and ended up with Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.

I don't think either party in the Senate really wants to get rid of the filibuster so it will remain.

I don't think I've ever seen the word "misfunctioning." 

The governor of New York, shocked at the exodus of high-value taxpayers, appealed to the "patriotism" of these taxpayer to come back from Florida.  When I saw this video, I thought for sure it was a spoof.  Unbelievable. 

Whomp whomp.  Hollywood was digging out of its all-time-low of 2021 but it looks like it was just a blip on the road to irrelevance.
