Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report
Fox News reports a grandmother in Indonesia was swallowed by a 22-ft. python. No one argues that grandma makes a great dinner. Once removed, the grandmother of eight complained that no one ever came to visit her inside the snake's stomach unless they needed money or to rob her medicine chest.

President Biden got another Covid booster shot Tuesday a month after he said the pandemic is over. Vaccines are the last thing politicians want to nag voters about now, but Big Pharma won't let up. On Thursday, Pfizer warned that a fourth booster shot may be needed for those who haven't died yet.

Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman received Barack Obama to speak for him this weekend after President Biden campaigned for him last week. When asked what he thought of his debate performance Tuesday night, Fetterman replied, “Fire bad.” No wait, that was Biden's review.

Elon Musk strode into Twitter Thursday carrying a wash basin for employees to cry in because he is reinstating free speech. He vowed that Twitter won't become a free-for-all hell-scape. Under the Constitution's separation of powers, a free-for-all hell-scape is delegated to the cable news channels.

Wall Street celebrated good news Thursday on reports that the economy grew in the third quarter after two consecutive quarters of decline. It was the buccaneer billionaires who got the headlines. Elon Musk is all set to take over Twitter and, not to be outdone, Kanye West vows to take over MySpace.

Kanye West was dropped by his sponsors after he gave an interview saying that he is about to go Death Con 3 on the Jews while discussing his presidential plans. Kanye West has inspired a new dating app that matches you with people who take the very same meds you're taking. It's called RelationScripts.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposed a budget giving her a ten thousand dollar a year raise to two hundred twenty-five grand a year. Her budget gives the mayor a five percent annual raise to keep up with inflation. Nowadays bullets are so expensive in Chicago that nobody gets a warning shot.

The New York tax fraud trial against the Trump Organization for providing free apartments and cars for execs that went unreported is underway. Democrats are anxious to drive a nail in Trump's coffin. Lately theater audiences during Hamilton cheer a little TOO loudly when King George III sings, I'll Be Back!

Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker faced more accusations by women of paternity and abortions undermining his pro-life stance. And now his NFL stats are under review. It's starting to look like Herschel Walker rushed more women to Planned Parenthood than he rushed for touchdowns.

Facebook stock crashed on Wall Street Wednesday but got little sympathy from FB users. These days you get thrown in FB jail for either posting something that is false, or posting something that is too true. The truth will always set you free, except on Facebook, where you'll get a thirty-day ban.

PETA issued a complaint protesting the way turkeys are raised to feed Thanksgiving dinner. They say the birds are over-fed, over-weight, prone to heart attacks and too bloated to mate. It shows Ben Franklin was way ahead of his time as usual when he proposed the turkey be America's national symbol.

Politico reported a Democrat is leading in the Georgia Senate race along with the surprise news that a Democrat is leading for Oklahoma governor. The South has always been progressive. In fact, Southerners produced the only TV show that was identified by its personal pronouns, He and Haw.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeyer denounced any display of anti-Semitism in artwork that might be on canvas in Germany's art show in Kassel. In a related story, I'm sorry to report today was a sad day in the entertainment industry. Kanye West was found alive in his apartment this morning.

Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman sounded stricken in a televised debate with Dr. Oz Tuesday. He struggled to string together coherent sentences. Republicans expressed sorrow over Democrats putting up a stroke victim like this and Democrats described his performance as presidential.

Joe Biden will campaign for stroke victim John Fetterman for Senate in Pennsylvania this week while Trump campaigns for Dr Oz. That's ironic. When Biden gives a speech Republicans wonder if he's having a stroke and whenever Trump gives a speech Democrats wonder if they're having a stroke.

Pennsylvania's progressive Democrats who control the state party were slammed by critics for pushing an addled John Fetterman through the primary over centrist Conor Lamb. While trying to answer questions in the Tuesday debate, Fettermen lost his train of thought. There were no survivors.

CNN said famed L.A. attorney Gloria Allred is charging that Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker in 1993 drove her client to a clinic get an abortion. She says he paid for it and then waited outside to give her a ride home. It's the kind of chivalry that could give him 40% of the Democratic vote.

House Republicans vowed hearings on Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop if the GOP takes Congress. It's nothing Americans can't handle. We already went through eight years of a president's son being a cocaine-addicted stripper hound during the eight years Martin Sheen was in the Oval Office.

The Wall Street Journal reported that major corporations are upgrading their cyber-security. It's to guard against industrial espionage by China and Russia. If your workplace requires password changes every ninety days, just set it to the name of the current UK prime minister and you should be fine.

Britain's Rishi Sunak received the seals of office from King Charles and became England's first prime minister of South Asian origin. Rishi then got President Biden on the phone. Joe Biden gave Rishi the entrance code to the White House gate then ordered chulka, spicy curry and basuni for dessert.

Germany's cabinet approved a plan to legalize marijuana pending approval by EU regulators. It's way overdue, if Hitler had smoked pot he would have only invaded the kitchen. Circle K gas stations in Florida announced that they will start selling marijuana, mostly to increase the sale of cheese nachos.

Kanye West tried to apologize for his anti-Semitic outburst last week when he vowed to go Death Con 3 on the Jews. The industry reaction was one of revulsion. I don't want to say Kanye West is washed up and finished in Hollywood but he needs to be sure he sits nowhere near the curb on trash day.

North Korea's Kim Jung Un was warned by President Biden not to proceed with planned nuclear bomb testing Tuesday. Last year Kim was photographed sampling Halloween candy with a really disgusted look on his face. He looked like he bit into a Kit Kat and it tasted like chocolate instead of cat.

The GOP outrage over Kamala's Harris' refusal to go to the border makes me wonder why people make such a fuss about immigration. All my neighbors are American, all the kids in the nearby local schools are American, and all the local store owners are American. I love it here in New Zealand.
