New Edition tomorrow! Thank you for your patience.

 Well, my A/C isn't leaking anymore so I can use it in this awful heat. I feel bad complaining after seeing all the tornado and rain destruction around the world.

I just have a few thoughts to share.

Thank you Michael Cohen for unveiling Maga Habermann. It's about damn time.

The Debates: Biden is going to chew Trump up, spit him out, hop on his bicycle and ride offstage while licking an ice cream cone.

A few memes for your pleasure:

My first thought after seeing this portrait of King Charles was -- did Diana commission this painting?

Peace.

 

I might as well take a vacay for a few days

Marjorie Taylor Greene Loses It on Fox News, Bizarrely Claims They Want to 'Murder Tucker Carlson'

Marjorie Taylor Greene Loses It on Fox News, Bizarrely Claims They Want to 'Murder Tucker Carlson'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) let loose on Fox News in a wild rant claiming the media network wants to “control what Republicans think.”

Greene made her comments during a Friday interview on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast. The pair also laid into House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) with Greene continuing her effort to oust him from his position.

House Republicans normalized Marjorie Taylor Greene for years.

And now America is paying the price.

Sad.  - Rep. Hakeem Jeffries

Hillary Clinton: I have had many conversations with a lot of young people over the last many months and you’re right, they don't know very much at all about the history of the Middle East or, frankly, about history in many areas of the world, including in our own country.

Netanyahu Knows His Audience

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat down for an hour-long interview with none other than Dr. Phil McGraw, more popularly known as simply Dr. Phil.

In the lengthy exchange, aired Thursday, Netanyahu discussed his disagreements with President Joe Biden and vowed that Israel’s mission to eliminate Hamas will not stop even if they have to fight with their “fingernails.”

Ronald Reagan paused the delivery of F-16s to Israel after it bombed an Iranian nuclear reactor in 1981. Then, after Israel invaded Lebanon and bombed Beirut in 1982, Reagan refused to deliver 75 F-16s and limited military aid until Israel withdrew its troops from Lebanon. - James Surowiecki

This Is Ghoulish

A trio of lawmakers is asking the Government Accountability Office to take up an investigation of medical care provided to migrants in detention facilities, knocking an earlier report they say failed to thoroughly review “unnecessary surgeries.”

The ask, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, comes after a string of reports detailing inadequate medical care in some cases, while in other instances invasive surgeries like hysterectomies were performed on migrants who were in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Authority (ICE) custody.

MSNBC Legal Analyst Calls Trump's Trial Strategy Against Stormy Daniels the 'Nuts and Sluts Defense'

MSNBC Legal Analyst Calls Trump's Trial Strategy Against Stormy Daniels the 'Nuts and Sluts Defense'

MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin chalked the Donald Trump defense team’s Stormy Daniels strategy up to a “nuts and sluts defense” after attending the former president’s hush money trial in Manhattan on Thursday.

"You’re celebrating the indictment by selling things from your store?" Necheles asks.

"Not unlike Mr. Trump," Daniels responds.

Arwa Damon, a veteran foreign correspondent who has spent decades reporting from wars across the globe recently returned from a trip inside Gaza. She said it was unlike any place she has covered before.

“I’ve been to Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Libya, Syria, you name it. And there is something different about Gaza,” she said. “It’s the complete and total, sheer and utter psychological obliteration on a mass scale. You don’t see life, in the sense of life within a person.”

Will Biden Be On Ohio's November Ballot? At This Time, NO!

Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday failed to advance a plan to put President Joe Biden on the state's November ballot, underscoring bitter divisions among Republicans who control the state Legislature.

The state House and Senate floated separate proposals this week that would change the certification deadline to 74 days before the Nov. 5 election. Under current law, state officials must certify the ballot by Aug. 7 − 90 days beforehand − but Biden won't be nominated until the Democratic National Convention 12 days later.
