Covering the important stuff today.
Waiting for the follow-up story in which Kyle Rittenhouse challenges Harris or Biden to a game of b-ball.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Out of curiosity to see how Fox is spinning today's hearing and other events - 4PM my time and it's Jesse Watters. I switched back after ten minutes and he wasn't slowing down talking about Pelosi's husband's DUI :yawn:

Yeah, when the WH squares off against the Golden State Warriors, he'd better not put Harris in the starting line-up. One for six ain't good at that level of ball.

I heard it on F&F this morning, now on to the more *cough* serious *cough* America's Newsroom. Apparently some kind of cheat sheet for Biden for what to do during some meeting was discovered and that's what they're leading the top of the hour with. Dragged in Reince Priebus to help the :horse: along and Biden's not only a dead duck, he's a lame duck says Priebus. :roll:

A meeting 'cheat sheet'?

Is that kinda what I would call a meeting 'agenda'?

It was a bit more than that, but not earth shattering news. Link below is broken, sometimes video on Fox articles autoplays.

No, it would be upside down from his perspective. It was so OTHER people could read it and be reminded of his number.

Checked out the first segment of The Five. No right was removed, the right was never there. It was simply a correction. Guns are totally different, unrestricted access to guns is guaranteed by the constitution, abortion, or health care for that matter, is not. Polling indicates that the majority of the country supports a ban on abortion after the fifteenth week, something-something sixth week. If you don't want to be vaxxed, you can move to Florida or Texas, if you want access to abortion, you can move to California or New York. This is how the tenth amendment works. :roll: RBG had deep problems with Roe v. Wade, despite supporting abortion, this isn't a conservative issue.

Flipped to the Hannity radio show, he had Senator Mike Lee on. They also were talking about RBG, but had taken it a step further. They were in complete agreement that had RBG still been on the court, she definitely would have sided with the majority in overturning Roe v. Wade. There would be no question. If the left were to do even the most cursory research into RBG, they would find that she didn't agree with Roe v. Wade and thought it should be overturned. BS about riots, the right has never rioted, and we still haven't done anything about the 574 riots (yes, I realize that is an oddly specific number, not sure where he derived it from) in the summer of 2020 that did billions of dollars of property damage, injured many police officers, and resulted in the deaths of dozens of people.

Flipped back to The Five. If you want to blame someone, blame Hillary. She is the one who rested on her laurels rather than campaigning against tfg. Most women support this. Something-something let's talk about leftists rioting. There are boards going up in the windows of stores in DC. This never happens with the right. The "liberal" on the panel (was on the radio, not sure who it was, I think they have Tulsi Gabbard on this week? Not sure.) pointed out that abortion clinics got the short end of the stick versus right wing violence in the 70s. Greg Gutfield shut that down, saying that if you want to go back in time all you have to do is go back a little further than that and you will find that all violence and riots have always been perpetrated by the left. Also, polling shows that abortion rights rank really low on the scale of what voters care about. It will undoubtedly be a non-issue for the mid-terms.

Also a free floating point from I didn't catch what RWNJ radio show, the left is decrying contraception and gay marriage. The opinion explicitly states that those are not in danger. Further, abortion pills are available in all fifty states. Also, it was the left that held the line against gay marriage, that was democrats that blocked that for so long, let's not get that twisted.

Le sigh.

Me too. I had to turn off CNN/MSNBC since I'm so upset, and watching comfort TV. Gotta say, Adam-12 is just the ticket for comfort TV, since I've already been through Columbo and Charlies Angels :)

I loved Adam-12. I still have this comic.

In the 12 hours since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Fox had at least 64 men on to talk about abortion.

Not one of these men mentioned the countless women who will die from this decision.

Hadn't thought of AG. I've been binging on Adam 12 for now. Dobie Gillis might be a good choice too.
