Hillary Clinton was interviewed on CNN Sunday and she declared that if laws aren't passed in Congress to moderate speech and content on social media that we will lose control. She charges groups on the banquet circuit a $200,000 speaking fee. Hilary's topic is The Importance of Free Speech.

Iran's Ayatollah Khameni appeared at Friday prayers in Teheran and blamed Israel and the U.S. for regional hostilities. However as a gesture of goodwill, the Iranians plan to send relief supplies to North Carolina in the wake of the storm. They're loading the missiles now.

Kamala's husband Doug Emhoff was accused by an ex-girlfriend Thursday of slapping her for flirting with another man. He also impregnated his daughter's nanny. Last week a female reporter confronted Doug about his past behavior and he didn't know whether to knock her up or knock her out.

The White House drew charges of foot-dragging hurricane relief to Appalachia. The Democrats may be playing the long game. I think the reason that the White House is delaying helping the poor rural communities affected by the flood is because they are hoping to get rid of any future J.D. Vance's.

The Weather Channel reported that Hurricane Helene dumped forty trillion gallons of rainwater on the U.S. after making landfall last weekend. The fall is already unseasonably hot all across the South. On top of that, last night I checked the Weather Channel and the 5-day forecast for Iran is 2 days.

President Biden urged Israel to keep its response to Iran's missile attack proportional in order to keep the hostilities from getting out of hand. President Biden's previous public warning to the Ayatollah was one word and that word was Don't. This week it was updated to Don't Answer Your Pager.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the U.S. Navy for helping to shoot down incoming Iranian missiles and he thanked the U.S. for the Iron Dome anti-missile systems. The Iranian military fired 181 missiles into Israel and killed only one Palestinian. The Chicago White Sox had a better record this year.

Billboard magazine listed the musicians involved in the 2024 presidential election. Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala last month and Bruce Springsteen just posted a video endorsing Kamala. The next day, Ozzy Osborne endorsed one of the candidates but no one could tell if he said Trump or Kamala.

The Secret Service provided extra tight protection for Donald Trump's return speech to Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The site of the speech was the Butler County fairgrounds. However to add extra drama and lure MSNBC viewers to Trump's speech, the fairgrounds added a grassy knoll.

The Wall Street Journal predicted that the presidential race between Kamala and Trump is going to be decided by efforts to turn out supporters on Election Day. I'm sad to report that I won't have any say in the election. I have a birth certificate and a photo ID, so I'm not allowed to vote in California.

Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law Thursday that bans local governments in California from requiring a photo ID to vote. The new law overrules a new Huntington Beach rule. The beach town residents say so many Salvadorans are living in Huntington Beach it hardly feels like Vietnam anymore.

Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket flew two astronauts to the Space Station last week while Netherlands astronomers claimed Friday that radio waves from Elon's many satellites are blocking their view of the universe. We all live in the shadow of Musk. This year the U.S. even developed a self-driving country.

President Biden appeared for the first time in 43 days to take credit for settling the ports strike in 3 days but the panic buying was embarrassing. In 3 days, stores sold out of toilet paper again. Back in my day, the only time Baby Boomers engaged in panic buying was when the bartender shouted Last Call.

Politico reports Generation Z in their 20s are voting in much larger numbers than the millennial generation did. These kids were literally baptized on the cell phone. Gen Z believes as an article of faith that if you press the gas pedal and brake pedal at the same time, your car will take a screen shot.

The State Department offered citizens free flights out of Beirut Monday to escape any kidnapping attempts by Hezbollah. Officials said it had to be done because Beirut has no record of protecting U.S. citizens. When President Biden was told this he congratulated Hank Aaron on breaking Beirut's record.

Donald Trump was targeted again Tuesday, this time by Special Counsel Jack Smith who released an update of his January 6th indictment of Trump. He's pretty much getting it from every direction now. In yet another effort to try to take out Trump, Iran just named him regional manager of Hezbollah.

President Biden and Kamala visited parts of North Carolina Wednesday which remain without power or cell phones after five days of no help. They'll be okay. In a move sure to get the federal disaster aid money moving faster in their direction, North Carolina just changed its name to Ukraine.

The White House refused to endorse peace talks with Russia Monday after giving $8 billion more to Ukraine in military aid. Ukraine and Russia are white, Slavic and Eastern Orthodox. I'm afraid that without any racial, ethnic or religious differences to exploit, the Democrats may be flying blind here.

JD Vance was the consensus winner of the debate with Tim Walz Tuesday although 92% of the country expressed appreciation for the debate's civility. Forty-four million Americans were riveted to their TVs watching two politicians compete for the most useless job in the United States government.

Tim Walz was panned by his own Democratic media for his poor debate showing. At his lowest and most absent-minded point, Walz blurted out that he was friends with school shooters. Right away school shooters denied any association with Walz, saying their reputation was bad enough as it is.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. denied claims by three women Wednesday who say they have had intimate affairs with Bobby this year, in addition to reports of his alleged affair with New York magazine star writer Olivia Nuzzi. It confirms the one thing political junkies love about Bobby. He stays on top of everything.

The Daily Mail reported Kamala's husband Doug Emhoff forcefully slapped his girlfriend for flirting with another man while they stood in a valet line at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. He maintains he didn't give her a slap, he was awarding her the Palm D'Or. It's the festival's highest award.

The International Longshoremen struck U.S. ports from Maine to Texas Monday. It threatens to cut off many popular medications manufactured in Europe. Without today's memory enhancing drugs, families are going to have a lot less time to make the tough decision and place Grandpa in the U.S. Senate.
