My latest song. I know the cartoon you're thinking of - I couldn't use it in the video because it's still under copyright.

Musk tweeted Thursday night: 'The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens - this is their standard (despicable) playbook - but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech.' He then finally tweeted a denial in response to Cucumber Capital CEO Tara Bull: 'And, for the record, those wild accusations are utterly untrue.' He also attacked the credibility of the alleged victim's friend, tweeting that she 'is a far left activist/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.' The man currently trying to buy Twitter has recently...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s fiancé has largely dodged the limelight, even though he regularly pops up on the congresswoman’s Instagram stories and has been by her side for the extent of her meteoric political rise. Meet Riley Roberts, the all-but-silent partner to the Democrats’ congressional darling, who has been on her arm since college to the 2021 Met Gala and “Tax the Rich” and every stop in between. Ocasio-Cortez has several times stood up for her man – and his footwear choices – as they have gone from sweethearts at Boston University to engaged in April 2022.

I’m on the road the next few days (wedding season) and will be providing updates on the Sussmann trial that have more transcripts and less discussion from your humble author. Today, it’s the morning testimony of former FBI general counsel James Baker. Yesterday we discussed how Sussmann reached out - not on behalf of a client - yo share the purported Alfa Bank/Trump data. Here he discusses what occurred during that fateful meeting in September 2016. As to whether Sussmann lied? Baker is “100% confident” he did He repeated what Sussmann said about not being there on behalf of a...

Tens of millions of Americans could be thrown into a summer of hell as a megadrought, heatwaves, and reduced power generation could trigger widespread rolling electricity blackouts from the Great Lakes to the West Coast, according to Bloomberg, citing a new report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a regulatory body that manages grid stability. NERC warned power supplies in the Western US could be strained this summer as a historic drought reduces hydroelectric power generation due to falling reservoir levels and what’s expected to be an unseasonably hot summer. Compound the hellacious weather backdrop with grids decommissioning...

A Thai man in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima has been arrested after being caught using free electricity for the past 6 months. He was Bitcoin mining. (Snip) The officer from Nakhon Ratchasima’s Provincial Electricity Authority, Ronnachai Asanaphan, explained that it was suspicious that the building had not been using electricity for 6 months, but there was someone living there. PEA officers visited the site and checked the building’s energy meter. They found that the building was actually using a lot of power, comparable to a small factory, and the building owner will be sent a bill to pay...

A furious female skateboarder has slammed Red Bull for sponsoring a contest where she placed second to her trans rival. Taylor Silverman claims she and other cisgender female competitors were sidelined by officials at the Red Bull Cornerstone Contest, where she placed second and received a $2,750 award. Trans skateboarder Lillian Gallagher was awarded $5,000 for placing first and winning two separate divisions - money that Silverman says should have been given to her. Silverman, who has been skateboarding for 11 years, said when she tried to reach out to officials to 'do the right thing even if it's not...

COVID-19 infections have surged in Connecticut, pushing the state to claim one of the highest rates of new cases in the country this week, data shows. The number of new cases per person over the previous seven days in Connecticut was the highest in the country on Monday and the second highest on both Tuesday and Wednesday, according to data The New York Times collects from state and local health agencies.

Recent events in New York have brought the grim realities of America’s gun violence problem into sharp relief. In both instances the perpetuators took advantage of the nation’s lax gun laws and legally purchased firearms whose lethality would have been unimaginable to the authors of the Second Amendment. The easily modified semi-automatic AR-15 used by the white supremacist shooter who killed ten people in Buffalo on Saturday was two hundred times more lethal than the revolutionary muskets that helped win the American Revolution. This attack came one month after a shooter with a Glock 9-millimeter handgun injured 23 people in...

In patients with serious and long-term COVID-19, disturbed blood coagulation has often been observed. Now, researchers have discovered that the body's immune system can affect the spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, leading to the production of a misfolded spike protein called amyloid. The research team studies illnesses which are caused by misfolded proteins, of which Alzheimer's disease in the brain is the most well-known example. The researchers noted that there are many similarities between COVID-19-related symptoms and those which are observed in illnesses caused by misfolded proteins. Using computer simulation, the researchers discovered that the coronavirus'...

With Pennsylvania’s county election administrators continuing to chew through mail-in and absentee ballots Thursday, the front-runners in the nearly deadlocked Republican U.S. Senate primary offered both argued that their paths to victory remained wide open. That case seemed a little bit easier for Dr. Mehmet Oz’s team Thursday night, as the cardiac surgeon-turned-daytime television superstar still held a 1,123 vote lead over former Wall Street executive David McCormick. As of presstime for this story, that broke down as follows: Oz, 417,719, or 31.2 percent; McCormick 416,596, or 31.1 percent. That’s with an estimated 98.6 percent of the vote in, according...

@mtracey Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on why he voted for the $40 billion Ukraine funding: Putin "has Stalin's taste for blood," and is "working with" China and Iran to dominate the world. "This is not just a fight for the people of Ukraine," it's a fight for "the freedom of Louisiana"

As it continues to wage war against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, the Walt Disney Co. has launched an LGBTQ-themed apparel and accessories line called the “Disney Pride Collection” and will donate all profits through June 30 to groups that support “LGBTQIA+ youth and families.” The merchandise, which is geared for both children and adults, features rainbow-themed motifs imposed on familiar Disney brands, including Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar.

A Russian defeat in Ukraine makes America safer.In April 1941 Germany had conquered all of Europe except England, while its Axis partner Japan had conquered most of Southeast Asia. At this historical moment, the Gallup Company took a poll of Americans on this question: Should America – until then a non-combatant – get involved in the war. 81% of Americans said no. But all that changed with the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 in that same year. If the United States had not entered World War II, we would have faced a world united under Nazi rule ready...

In what is being hailed as the first movie to feature an all-LGBTQ cast in every role, Billy Eichner’s romantic sex comedy ‘Bros’ is here to let you know that yes, gay people do have sex. In the latest movie by Universal Pictures due out in theaters this fall, Bros follows the character of Bobby Leiber played by Eichner, a podcaster who is hired by a pair of movie producers to write a script for a gay-centric romance that will be “something a straight guy might watch with his girlfriend.” Bros will make history as the first R-rated gay rom-com...

Initial findings from the Distal versus Proximal Radial Artery Access for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention (DIPRA) study were presented today. The single center, randomized-controlled trial evaluated outcomes of hand function and effectiveness of conventional proximal radial artery (PRA) access compared to distal radial artery (DRA) access for cardiac catheterization. Current guidelines for patients undergoing percutaneous intervention recommend PRA access. A complication of PRA is radial artery occlusion, or a blocking of the vessel, which can compromise the access of artery for future coronary bypass surgery, dialysis or other cardiovascular procedures. DRA has the potential to preserve the radial access but...

I hate and renounce the corrupt, inhumane governments of the country of my birth, Australia. Ron DeSantis was right to warn Americans about Australia last fall and Americans have subsequently shown very good judgement in lifting him to number three in the opinion polls for the American presidential election in 2024. There are a few wonderful libertarians in Australia who give me hope. There is Krystle Mitchell who served with Victoria Police for 16 years but has resigned to warn that the current socialist left lead government of Victoria has "far more control over Victoria Police than the community should...
