Republican Missouri Senator Roy Blunt isn’t committed to supporting a Donald Trump candidacy in 2024, but a little thing like encouraging a violent attack to undermine the Constitution as well as an ongoing effort to disrupt future elections.

Asked “where is the line?” and why questioning the integrity of American elections “not a disqualifier,” Blunt responds, “He can have his own opinion.  I mean, there’s no-, not a disqualifier because you may have one issue you disagree with,”–even though that one issue is subverting Constitutional law.

Comedian and political commentator Jon Stewart, best known for his turn as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and his widely recognized performance in the movie Death to Smoochie, will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American humor Sunday in Washington, DC, the Associated Press reports.

Stewart will join a long list of distinguished recipients including Carol Burnett, the oldest recipient at age 80; Tina Fey, the youngest at age 40; Eddie Murphy; Jonathan Winters; George Carlin and Lily Tomlin.  The prize has been awarded annually since 1979, when Richard Pryor received the first award; there was a two year gap in 2020 and 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic.

The 2009 recipient, Bill Cosby, had his award revoked following multiple accusations of sexual abuse, rape and other misconduct.

“Whether it’s fraud or legitimate, it’s a real shame that that globalist Muslim flooding demon is still running Franceghanistan” – Top comment at Gateway Pundit’s “Emmanuel Macron Wins French Presidential Election After Marine Le Pen Concedes Loss”. Relatively tame stuff for Gateway.

“Told ya he’d CHEAT win” – Top comment on Breitbart’s “French Election Projections: Globalist Macron Wins Despite Big Drop In Support.” Love the “silver lining” of the “big drop in support.”

“Was there really any question that the globalist Macron would win? Things will only get worse especially now [that] the underlying system [is] firmly entrenched” – The top actually-on-topic comment on Fox News’s “Macron projected to win France’s presidential election” which was about third or forth ranked because the other jerkoffs were just ranting about Biden and gas prices.

“The outcome is not in doubt – WEF puppet Macron will not be allowed to lose. The only question is, will the French accept the result?” – Top comment on ZeroHedge’s “Macron Re-Elected French President, Le Pen Concedes Defeat,” the timestamp of which says “7 hours ago”. Ace prediction, lol.

“The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter” – Non-comment on The Hill’s “France’s Macron is reelected but far-right rival raises game.”

Alumni of the comical “People’s Convoy,” which spent weeks living in a suburban Maryland parking lot while claiming to be disrupting The Swamp in Washington, DC by wasting thousands of dollars of diesel driving around the DC Beltway, tried to arrange a protest in against a single California Assembly member, the SF Gate reports.

A couple dozen cars stalked Assemblywoman Bucky Wick’s house in East Bay because she supports abortion rights, which would seem something that people protesting government mandates would support.  But nay nay, these people decided to undertake a low-speed drive by, which was greeted by a group of young people egging the vehicles as they crawled by.

The liberal opposition Freedom Movement Party of Slovenia took a controlling lead in the country’s national elections Sunday, forecasting a victory over the ruling conservative Slovenian Democratic Party, the Associated Press reports.

The loss is the second on Sunday for conservative movements in Europe, although the SDP and its leader, Prime Minister Janez Jansa, are not as radically pro-Russia as France’s Marine Le Pen is.  Jansa supported the EU efforts to sanction Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.

Freedom Movement won 35.8% of the vote versus Slovenian Democratic Party’s 22.5%, setting up the Freedom Movement to form a coalition among a dozen minor parties that did not get more than 7% of the vote.

French President Emmanuel Macron has won a second term, defeating far-right candidate Marine Le Pen by a 58.2 percent to 41.8 percent margin, the New York Times reports.

Macron’s victory is a show of support for center/center-left politics in Europe, which was once in the throes of far-right chaos brought on by pro-Brexit forces in the United Kingdom, largely supported by efforts by Russian President Vladimir Putin to undermine the European Union.

Polls in France close at 2pm EDT Sunday, and because they don’t have to deal with a bullshit electoral college there, the question of whether French President Emmanuel Macron grabs another five year term or if tonight they’re gonna party like its 1939 and Putin-backed right wing shitbag Marine Le Pen takes over should be resolved quickly. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion.

To be clear, we’re not insinuating or implying that Blake Masters is accused of or guilty of rape, we just think he looks rapey given his hollow, slightly crooked glare and pursed reptilian lips.

COVID piss drinking “cure” expert Christopher Key was arrested Saturday after the organizers of an event headlined by the marginally more respectable anti-vax shitweasels Robert Malone and Peter McCullough called the cops on him for trespassing into the conference, the Daily Beast reports. Key showed up with his “Vaccine Police” car to annoy the “Take Action for Freedom Tour” for unclear differences in anti-vax dogma within the MAGA Cinematic Universe, ignoring repeated warnings from police officers to leave. “This is a bunch of MDs that are pissed off because a chiropractic and a bounty hunter released… information before they ever could,” said Key to his Telegram followers from a payphone in jail late Saturday night, adding “Yes, there is venom in the shots… It is very upsetting to me that some of my freedom fighters’ family is the one that incarcerated me.”

A group of Belarusian railroad workers, hackers and dissident security forces worked to disrupt the flow of Russian supplies, arms and troops being shipped into Ukraine on the railroads of Belarus, a Washington Post report details.

The group worked together and independently to disrupt railroad schedules around the country, primarily by manually or electronically damaging the workings of the junction boxes that control the flow of train traffic on the tracks.

In the early part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when troops were being brought in through Belarus, the network prevented supplies, ammunition and fuel from reaching troops in the field by rerouting trains and randomly stopping traffic.  The chaos that ensued caused the Belarusian government to shut down its rail lines for about four days to clear up the issues.

California law enforcement officials seized nearly 100 pounds of fentanyl that was bound for the Bay Area, not from an illegal border crosser or a massive catapult, but from a good ol’ American entrepreneur running an illicit lab in Alameda County.

The Associated Press reports Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and county Narcotics Task Force located the lab after executing two search warrants in Oakland and Haywood.  One person was arrested at the lab, and police were searching for another suspect.

The 42 kilograms (roughly 93 pounds) of fentanyl was package in kilos for sale.

Former US Senator Orrin Hatch, the longest serving Senator from Utah, died Saturday in Salt Lake City at the age of 88, the Deseret News reports.  Hatch was first elected to the Senate in 1976 and finished his last term, his seventh, in 2019.

“Every film works in a certain anti-family theme or message,” a Newsmax host trying to do his best impression of a 1930s newsman Walter Winchell said.  “But I would be remiss, Bianca, if I said it was only because of wokeness and the Obamas’ influence that the Netflix stock has crashed.”

The faux Winchell failed to note that Netflix stock dropped one-third because it reported its first subscriber loss in its history last quarter–largely due to increased competition and lifting of pandemic restrictions.  Like this clown, conservative pundits are also crowing about the Obamas leaving Spotify, saying they got “canceled.”  In fact, the Obamas chose not to renew with Spotify because the streaming service requires an exclusive agreement, something the Obamas didn’t want.  (And it probably doesn’t help that Spotify pays Joe Rogan a lot of money to be a disinformation fountain.)

Today Utah Democrats voted to join Evan McMullin’s independent coalition and NOT nominate a candidate for U.S. Senate. I’m proud to be part of this coalition. Together we can win this race and defeat Mike Lee. #utpol pic.twitter.com/NuI84mRqSa

In a shocking new revelation, the New York Times reports that the House Select Committee investigating January 6th has testimony from at least one witness saying White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Republican Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and members of the House Freedom Caucus were all on a phone call discussing how to get the people from the Ellipse, where Trump spoke, to the Capitol.

Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Mr. Meadows, testified to the committee about the phone call; her testimony was disclosed in a 246-page court filing made Friday.  The fact that GOP leaders from the White House and Congress were both involved in urging the angered mob to the Capitol calls into doubt the claims by Republican leaders that they were shocked when the mob of incited domestic terrorists turned to violence.

It also calls into question whether Donald Trump’s claim that he was going to lead the crowd on a march to the Capitol was a line inserted into his speech to support this goal, which would demonstrate a conspiracy to incite the mob to attack the Capitol.

In the longest documented infection, a British man tested positive for the coronavirus for 505 consecutive days, setting scientists on a new path for Long-Covid patients, Time Magazine reports.

Researchers were looking for mutation patterns for coronavirus, and studied nine patients who had positive coronavirus tests for more than eight weeks.  He contracted the virus in 2020 and was treated with remdesivir, but died in 2021 of unspecified causes.

The average length of the infection in the patients was 78 days, but one patient continued to test positive for nearly 17 months.  All the patients studied were immunocompromised:  organ transplant patients or people with HIV or MS, for example.
