n the month before Mathew Perry’s death, a doctor the actor contacted to acquire ketamine called him a “moron” in a text message, according to federal prosecutors. A dealer who authorities say supplied the drug to Perry referred to him as “Chandler” — the sarcastic yet sweet-natured character he played on the hit television show “Friends,” court documents say.

Major attack of stupidity on the part of nato/hoho leaders...

The Harley-Davidson motorcycle brand and business model are being "attacked" from within, social-media influencer Robby Starbuck suggested in a new post on X. He cited the words of the company's own CEO, Jochen Zeitz, who's been accused of going woke as he oversees the iconic brand. The German-born Zeitz took over as CEO in May 2020. "Imagine standing in front of CEOs of luxury brands that now think you are the ‘sustainable Taliban,’ as somebody once called me," Zeitz said in a speech at the Zermatt Summit in Switzerland in 2020, referencing his time as board member of Kiering, parent...

It’s been 55 years since Barbra Streisand won an Oscar for Funny Girl but apparently she’s still into comedy based on her latest political narrative. According to the aged actress and singer, corporate media is not getting their questions answered by a presidential candidate.Despite Kamala Harris failing to have a press conference for three weeks, Streisand believes it’s Donald Trump who is ducking the press.“Why does the press let Donald Trump get away with not answering their questions?”

[H]ere are 10 thought-provoking quotes from the first female vice president."It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day." "I am here, standing here on the northern flank, on the eastern flank, talking about what we have in terms of the eastern flank." "Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically, that's wrong.""We have the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what...

President Joe Biden told the American people Wednesday night that he graciously decided to bow out of the 2024 election because he wanted to unite his party and focus on his job as president. It was baloney. In the most obvious display of pure political muscle, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her disciples forced President Biden into withdrawing from the presidential race. More...

Below, I have posted my comments, FReeper threads and comments, followed by the three X.com posts in Biden's account used to withdraw him from the 2024 election.On Free Republic, there are posts and threads asking questions like, "Where's Joe Biden?" and "Who on Earth is running the country?" A Freeper commented that Biden's schedule is blank and he hasn't been seen for 5 days. If Biden is not running the country, then who is in charge of this coup d' etat?The Washington Post published an extremely biased assessment of the fighting in Israeli, noting that Netanyahu is traveling to Washington...

On Wednesday, radical, left-wing Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban went all-in for Joe Biden and jumped up to attack X owner Elon Musk for his strong support of Donald Trump. Cuban said he supports Biden’s bid for a second term but will blindly support whoever the party nominates if it replaces him. The NBA owner’s attack came after PayPal founder David Sacks wrote an X post listing the business leaders who have come onboard the Trump train—such as Bill Ackman, Ben Horowitz, Marc Andreessen, Doug Leone, Joe Lonsdale, Peter Thiel, Cameron, Tyler Winklevoss, and Elon Musk—and adding the message, “Come...

All I can say to Trump’s pick for his vice president: Good luck. The real story is why anyone would want to follow Mike Pence’s fate. After Pence refused to overturn the 2020 election, Trump incited a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol that began chanting, “Hang Mike Pence.” The same chilling question applies to all the people auditioning for Cabinet positions by speaking at this week’s GOP convention. To the men and women trying to move up in the GOP ranks by agreeing to fawn over Trump on stage in Milwaukee this week, and telling lies about a stolen...

A staff member of a Mississippi Democratic congressman took to social media and said she wished the shooter who tried to take Donald Trump's life had better aim. On Saturday evening, shortly after Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, attempted to assassinate the former president during a rally in Pennsylvania, Jacqueline Marsaw, the field director for Mississippi Congressman Bennie G. Thompson shared a vile post on Facebook about the attack. Trump was left bloodied and hurt during the assassination attempt as he was seen suddenly grabbing hold of his ear as loud bangs rang out and whizzed by before he ducked to...

Biden tells a Philadelphia radio station that he's "proud" to be "the first black woman to serve with a black president"

I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

The former vice president condemned Trump’s positioning on abortion in an op-ed (for the National Review), even as he didn’t mention his one-time boss by name. "We must work to advance the sanctity of life at every level, state and federal," Pence said. | Morry Gash/AP By KIERRA FRAZIER 06/24/2024 04:13 PM EDT Former Vice President Mike Pence revived his call for a nationwide abortion ban on Monday — the two-year anniversary of the landmark Dobbs decision — taking an implicit shot at former President Donald Trump in the process. In an op-ed in the conservative magazine National Review, Pence...

The White House is taking heat for statements on the deaths of a mother of five children in Maryland and a young Texas girl who were allegedly murdered by illegal aliens. The recent statements, which were short, did not comment on active police investigations regarding the two deaths, Fox News reported on Saturday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty,” the...

Bill Maher joked that 'we've all been' imagining Donald Trump being raped if he is sent to prison for his 34 felony convictions. The comedian said it was a 'puzzling paradox' that rape jokes were 'completely unacceptable and unthinkable' - unless they were about prison. Maher said such jokes would be made more often since the former president's convictions for falsifying business records last Thursday.

"So we are going to drop ‘A Crockett Clapback Collection,’" she wrote in the caption. "This collection will feature various swag that includes random things I’ve said. The money will go to ensuring that we have a Democratic House! Give me a little time to really get the swag online etc., but B6 will drop first."

Jared Bernstein is perhaps the most influential "economist" in the United States. I put economist in quotes, despite his being an academic who has taught the subject and has advised Congress and the highest elected officials in America. I do so because he is a moron. He is such a moron that Paul Krugman himself admires him for his economic insights. He is that bad. ... This is absolutely priceless. And probably the most frightening clip you'll ever watch on the people in charge of the US economy. Jared Bernstein is literally the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers,...

Social media users trashed Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, after she turned her gaffe about the moon being "made of gases" into a slam of Republicans on social media Tuesday. Reacting to the backlash she received for telling school children that the moon is made of gases ahead of Monday’s eclipse, the lawmaker said that her Republican critics are hounding her because they have a "lust for stupidity." She gave a speech at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston on the day of the eclipse, telling an assembly of students, "Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to...

While Democrats and leftist alarmists decry conservatives for supposedly peddling "misinformation" about "the Science™" related to climate, COVID, and genders (there are two, FYI), their own Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas is out and about telling constituents some real whoppers about the solar eclipse.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ( D-TX) once sat on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee. But understanding astronomy seems to elude her. Jackson Lee attended an event at Booker T. Washington High School where the “Trust the Science” party member clearly does not understand the science. Jackson Lee explained to the crowd, “You have the energy of the moon at night.” What?
