Is There Going To Be A Resurrection of January 6th ?

Refusing to commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election has become a litmus test for Republicans jockeying to become former President Trump’s running mate, but that’s making their Senate GOP colleagues uncomfortable about the prospect of another Jan. 6-style standoff if Trump loses.

Apparently, Bill Maher Has Caught The Dennis Miller Disease

Bill Maher has come under fire from Democrats who claim his rhetoric toward them has flipped — but he says it’s the left that has changed.

“I haven’t turned. Yes, people have said to me, ‘You made fun of the left more than you used to,’ and guilty, I have, because the left has changed,” Maher told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria during a sit-down interview.

“School choice” sounds an awful lot like “send public funds to our for-profit, religious, indoctrination camps.” - John Collins

Cannes Film Festival Gives "The Apprentice" 8 Minute Standing Ovation But Not One Award. Ouch.

“The Apprentice,” a new biopic about former President Trump’s rise in the real estate industry, did not clinch any awards at the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend.

The biopic is directed by Iranian Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi and stars actor Sebastian Stan playing the then-New York real estate developer Trump and Jeremy Strong as Trump’s real-life former attorney and mentor Roy Cohn. The movie reportedly received an eight-minute standing ovation after it premiered at the festival.

UPDATE:

Well, my link problem still exists. I have not found a problem as mine searching online for 3 days. Nothing, Nada. I tried a forum for Google blogger problems run by non-employees and hope to hear back from them.

Interesting aside: the day before I had link problems, I received a pop up notice from Google. They wanted to know if I was a robot as I had a large amount of searches, which is odd because I have been searching the same for 20+ years, and yes, it is a lot of searches.

I had an idea. Why don't I just get another blogger address? Okey dokey. So I did and guess what? I had the same problem. Apparently, it isn't just my current blog that won't link it was also the new one I started.

I don't know what to think. Can you see my site?

I will be back online asap once I find out what the hell is going on so it can be fixed.

Sigh.

I do not know what happened but I can't post any links. All I get is null at the end of the text with the link in it.. Blogger has no answer for this but I am still looking. Ay yi yi yi. I checked my settings to see if anything was disabled but nah.

I will post some memes for your viewing pleasure or anger. Thoughts and prayers are very welcome.

Former FBI Director James Comey Crawls Out Of The Woodwork

Former FBI Director James Comey sat for a wide-ranging interview with Dan Abrams on NewsNation on Wednesday, where he said he believed former President Donald Trump would be convicted following his hush money trial.

It was a disagreement with Abrams (the owner of Mediaite), who believed that the trial would result in a hung jury.

This traitor McGonigal pressured Comey to sabotage Clinton

The rest is history
