Speaker Mike Johnson held a presser and complained that President Biden will have a three to one advantage in the CNN debate even if he's hopped up on energy drinks. The only fair debate moderators would come from Christian nationalists and white supremacists from OANN, Stew Peters, and Sean Hannity. Johnson wildly speculated that the country would hear a positive vision for America. Hahaha. Johnson: Look, my summary is this. It doesn't matter if he drinks a whole gallon of energy drinks.

Newsmax guest host Corey Lewandowski held a phone-in interview with the felonious ex-president, and it was -- I know you're going to be shocked -- packed full of lies, including the usual rant claiming that Joe Biden will be be jacked up on drugs for the debate on Thursday. The right-wing media bubble and Republicans can't decide if the President is Sleepy Joe or Jacked Up Joe. Lewandowski was visibly caught off guard when Trump appeared to have fallen asleep during his interview.

Soon to be jailed Steve Bannon discussed tonight's Colorado 5th district primary with controversial Rep. Lauren Boebert and asked if she was going to get lucky tonight, oblivious about the sexual connotations his words had relating to her infamous hand job at the Bettlejuice event. You can't make this stuff up, folks. BANNON: You may get lucky.

Rep. Eric Burlison, from the House Oversight Committee intimated that President Biden has dementia and needs drugs to be able to stand for ninety minutes during Thursday's CNN presidential debate. Secretary Pete Buttigieg destroyed him back in 2023, so he's looking to get payback by smearing the president with despicable attacks. Speaking with Maria Bartiromo about the upcoming debate, this was his take.

The significant increase in infant death rates in Texas occurred after the state passed its extreme law banning abortions after six weeks and while the national infant death rate dropped. The fact that Texas’ law was enacted about nine months before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade makes the state both a good petri dish for comparing Texas death rates with national statistics and as an omen for what’s to come in other states that have since enacted draconian anti-abortion laws. The Washington Post has more of the heartbreaking details in the Johns Hopkins University research findings: Between 2021 and 2022, the infant mortality rate increased by 8.3 percent in Texas compared to a 2.2 percent increase nationally.

The fury among liberals over news of an upside-down flag — a “Stop the Steal” symbol — flying in Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s yard was the just latest in a constant barrage of ethical controversies tied to the Court. Over the past year, news outlets have uncovered extravagant trips and gifts Justices Alito and Clarence Thomas received from wealthy benefactors, often without disclosing them as required by federal law.
