• The House Oversight Committee launched a probe of Atlanta DA Fanny Willis for coordinating political prosecutions with Special Counsel Jack Smith. Indeed the Progressives have a modified view of free speech. You can now be arrested in Georgia for shouting Trump Won! in a crowded theater.
• Vivek Ramaswamy stole the debate by opposing the war, supporting oil and a fortified border and cutting off China trade and debunking climate change. It could give us a classic murder mystery, If Vivek takes a trip aboard the Orient Express with a trainload of lobbyists, everybody will have killed him.
• Tropical Storm Harold approached the Gulf Coast of Texas Wednesday bearing high winds and rain. Let's hope the damage is minimal. Victims would be anxious for Biden to come and console them with the story of the time his bathtub overflowed into his basement and evaporated Hunter's stash.
• The Titanic: an Exhibition opened in a Maryland harbor near Washington D.C. and will take you on a tour of the scaled-down model of the doomed ocean liner. Tickets are thirty-seven dollars, which says a lot about inflation. Twenty-five years ago, Blockbuster let me see the Titanic for two dollars.
• Walt Disney reported a profit last quarter thanks to its theme park revenue despite eight of its last nine movies being box office flops. Disney's woke agenda seems relentless. Last week Tinker Bell was stripped of her princess status in the Magic Kingdom and replaced by her plus-sized sister Taco Bell.
• The Times of India reports hundreds of millions of Indians were riveted to their TV's Tuesday to cheer on India's spacecraft that landed safely on the moon. They went right to work. I just got a call from the moon branch of my bank, asking me for my pin number and 7-Elunar is now open for business.
• Rich Men North of Richmond, a song by Oliver Anthony, reached number one on the charts. It's become an anthem of the dispossessed. I think Oliver Anthony could be a modern day Bob Dylan, not for singing songs about the trials of the underclass, but because I can't understand a word he's singing.
• U.S. Women's Soccer star Megan Rapinoe lost her $50 million endorsement deal with Samsung after the U.S. was eliminated from the World Cup when Megan's overtime penalty kick missed badly. I guess Samsung thought Megan was phoning it in. She can also forget about ever playing for the Galaxy.
• Fox News spent Wednesday ahead of the GOP debate in Milwaukee speaking to Wisconsin voters and getting their opinions. The pundits tried to be fair to each candidate's chances. However after the debate, I thought Fox News insulted Chris Christie by calling Trump's absence the elephant in the room.
• Milwaukee held the first Republican Party presidential debate Wednesday and eight of the GOP candidates battled it out onstage. It's the most exciting time in politics. When the Democrats hold their presidential debate, President Biden will be going up against his number-one opponent, Cognition.
• The RNC rules allowed eight GOP candidates onstage Wednesday and typically they spent their time reciting talking points and attacking each other. They were lucky Trump elected not to bother coming. The GOP debate would have been a stage production of Mighty Whitey and the Seven Dwarves.
• The GOP presidential candidates in the Milwaukee debate exchanged ideas on how to reduce the epidemic of gun crime Wednesday. I was disappointed that none of the candidates suggested that to improve public safety we should stand behind Alec Baldwin. It's a lot safer than standing in front of him.
• Governor Ron DeSantis set off alarms in the debate vowing to invade Mexico with U.S. troops the first day of his presidency. They spent two hours shouting, puffing up, posturing, going over time and stepping on each other. At the end of the night both Trump and Biden could say they won the debate.
• GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, whose parents arrived from India forty years ago, vowed to stop supporting the war in Ukraine as president. He's very new to the game. By the time Neo-Cons are finished with him, he'll learn that war is something you can only vow to stop supporting as a podcast host.
• Donald Trump was scheduled to turn himself in to authorities in Atlanta Thursday where he was to be arraigned and finger-printed and photographed by a Democratic judge and DA. It didn't stop there. Elizabeth Warren was spotted at the courthouse in tribal makeup waiting for Trump to surrender.
• Donald Trump refused to show up at the GOP debate in Milwaukee as he was forty points ahead in the polls. Instead the former president discussed his foreign policy with Tucker Carlson. I think we can all agree Donald Trump's the only presidential candidate who could fly safely over Russian airspace.
• Russia's dissident Colonel Yevgeny Prigozhin was shot down in a private jet by Moscow missile defense. Video showed the jet being hit by the missile then spiraling to earth and exploding on impact. The good news is, Colonel Prigozhin set a new height record for Putin's opponents falling to the ground.
