You don’t have to like his political views, but you have to respect former Republican House member Adam Kinzinger’s straightforwardness and integrity.  Asked by CNN host Anderson Cooper if he regrets endorsing Biden the day before the President’s unnerving debate performance on Thursday, Kinzinger addressed the chucklefuck who heckled from off-camera and re-upped on his support and said he’d rather stand with Biden than support a “habitual liar.”

Following up on his Christian Nationalist command that schools indoctrinate students on the Bible during lessons, Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters told NBC News that he would revoke teachers’ licenses if they failed to obey.

“Any teacher that would knowingly, willfully disobey the law and disobey our standards — there are repercussions for that,” Walters said. “So we deal with that on a case-by-case basis, but yes, teachers have to teach Oklahoma Academic Standards and this is absolutely going to be part of them.”

Oklahoma’s Attorney General, however, noted that while teachers are already permitted to use the Bible as an educational reference in the state, Walters’ order has no legitimacy.  “There is no legal authority for a memo from the Superintendent to require content,” a spokesperson said.

Saying that President Joe Biden is “not the man he was four years ago” following his disappointing debate performance Thursday night, the New York Times editorial board wrote that Biden should step aside to protect the nation.

Headlined “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race,” the editorial notes how aged Biden appeared in his slow and mumbled responses before saying, “As it stands, the president is engaged in a reckless gamble. There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency. There is no reason for the party to risk the stability and security of the country by forcing voters to choose between Mr. Trump’s deficiencies and those of Mr. Biden. It’s too big a bet to simply hope Americans will overlook or discount Mr. Biden’s age and infirmity that they see with their own eyes.”

More than 51 million people watched the first rematch of the Joe Biden-Donald Trump debate, far less than the 73 million who saw the first debate of 2020 via television networks, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which may give some solace to Democratic hand wringers.  Held five months before the election, the debate didn’t attract viewers who have still largely tuned out of the political drama of the election year.

Employees at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado reported seeing a weird, possibly experimental aircraft in the sky early at around 1 am on June 5th following a concert headlined by mid-2000s punk act All Time Low, describing the craft as “large” and “disc-shaped craft” which appeared to “three levels of windows,” USA Today reports citing a NUFORC submission.

It’s not clear if the aircraft, described as the size of a three-story office building but capable of hovering silently without any visible means of propulsion, was built by the US, Chinese, Russian, or Australian governments or possibly a private concern like Boeing or Airbus. Whichever entity developed the craft seems to have mastered invisibility technology as the witness said “it didn’t shoot off into the distance. It simply dissolved into the ether. We all watched it vanish.”

The witnesses unfortunately did not record any images of the definitely manmade aircraft during the brief sighting, depriving independent experts of the opportunity to scrutinize it and determine that it was simply a lighted, disc-shaped three story office building lifted off its foundation and being moved on a flatbed truck up a steep mountain road at 1:00 AM on a Wednesday, the “invisibility” caused when the truck drove behind smoke emanating from a nearby brush fire no one reported.

Banned from the Nathan’s Coney Island July 4th Hot Dog eating contest for bullshit reasons, world eating champ Joey Chestnut will instead spend Independence Day at Fort Bliss in Texas, facing off against no fewer than four US Army soldiers in a five minute hot dog battle, the Army Times reports.

If not for that the time is half that of the Nathan’s contest’s 10 minutes, we would go ahead and declare Chestnut the de facto winner by proxy kind of like how convicted felon former President Trump declares himself the winner of golf tournaments he didn’t play in because of some bullshit he made up in his head about shooting better than the tourney’s winner at the same course. Maybe he’ll still even beat this year’s Nathan’s winner with half the time anyway. As for the four soldiers we hope a military doctor more qualified than Ronny Jackson is present to monitor their health.

Chestnut’s next big showdown is against rival worldwide champ Takeru Kobayashi on Labor Day.

The US Supreme Court on Friday rejected white nationalist alcoholic Steve Bannon’s final last ditch effort to stay out of prison for the next four months, denying his petition for a stay.

How does Joe Biden look completely different from one day to the next?

I’m extremely confused.

The video on the left is from the debate last night.

The video on the right is this morning in North Carolina.

Lawyers for Georgia 2020 election workers Ruby Freeman and Shae Moss and former Dominion executive Eric Coomer this week asked a Florida judge to cancel the Gateway Pundit’s bankruptcy filing, arguing that scumbag founder and propagandist Jim Hoft is delaying the inevtiable consequences of his far right fake news outlet’s defamation of the three with his lame conspiracy theories about their supposedly rigging the 2020 election, the Missouri Independent reports.

In another smashing victory against reverse racism and other imagined malevolences, rural American retailer Tractor Supply Company on Thursday announced they were killing off their internal diversity, equity, and inclusion human resources policies, NBC News reports.

President Joe Biden’s campaign raked in at least $14 million before, during, and after the not so great time he had debating convicted felon former President Trump, WSJ’s Ken Thomas reports.

The US Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6 to 3 in favor of a Capitol insurrection defendant by narrowing the scope of the obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress law to the letter of whether they used an official document to do so when. Obviously since the rioters were beating cops with their weapons and fists rather than official documents they were not in violation of the statute passed in the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It’s not clear how many January 6th cases are going to be affected by this and/or if some will walk completely but it is a limitation on the cases.

There had been some chatter over whether this would negatively affect Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s conspiracy case against the Orange Tyrant in DC – which by the way the court did not drop its decision for on Friday, of course – but it would seem sort of doubtful given that Trump did in fact engage in conduct that “alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding” with the fake electoral votes scam.

The federal government’s power to regulate business without being normally overruled by the courts was murdered Friday with a 6-2 decision in the “Chevron Doctrine” case. Libs owned big time.

Now would probably be a good time for the Biden Administration act like dangerous cornered animals and doing something crazy to damage convicted felon former President Trump.

Go scorched earth, hellfire and brimstone, full-on nuclear. There’s no way to move past a bad news cycle like creating a worse one for the other guy. Team Biden are uniquely positioned to do so given the orange felon’s former residence in the same building. Let the MAGA media industrial complex scream that it was in direct response to the bad debate. Let James Comer and Jim Jordan scream that they’re going to be firing off subpoenas to find out who leaked it and what their motivations were even though it would be pretty obvious. The mainstream political media are like moths to a mosquito zapper hung on the porch of a double-wide in a Louisiana bayou, so turn a bigger one on.

If there’s anything damning that Team Biden were keeping the powder dry on for a bad day in the campaign cycle well here’s your bad day. A transcript of a Trump call with Putin, unverified intel from foreign sources, hints about the contents of the classified documents he stole, God knows what else exists in the archives of “the Deep State” and can be quickly passed along to reporters. Nothing better than forcing your opponent into reacting, especially when his cult is praising him for his objectively shitty performance that only “won” simply by delivering it with more verbal, but not logical, coherence than Biden did. Make them suffer the consequences of their hubris.

An 83 year-old Perry Township, Ohio man is facing charges of felonious assault, failure to comply with order or signal of an officer, resisting arrest and obstructing official business and the misdemeanors of failure to comply with order or signal of an officer, criminal trespass, driving under suspension and operating a vehicle at a small speed and impeding traffic after a Wednesday incident in which he mowed a neighbor’s lawn without permission and fled at a low rate of speed on his ride-on until responding officers caught up with him, the Canton Repository reports.

It’s not the first time the unidentified codger was caught trespassing on another neighbor’s property to mow the grass as last August after cops had specifically warned him not to do so. That incident ended less acrimoniously as the suspect was fined $50 and sentenced to 30 days in jail – which it’s not clear whether it was suspended – after pleading guilty to misdemeanor trespass.

The Federal Reserve Bank’s core consumption expenditures price index was expected to increase 0.1 percent in May and 2.6 percent from a year ago, per the Dow Jones consensus, CNBC reports.

NASA engineers on Thursday said they’re continuing to evaluate whether the Boeing Starliner spacecraft can bring its crew of two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, back home from the International Space Station after two weeks and counting of delays, Reuters reports.

At issue is the propulsion system which, since it was designed by Boeing, probably requires a congressional and/or federal law enforcement investigation to determine whether any documents were shredded or engineers committed suicide while planning to blow the whistle on its flaws.

Muskingum County, Ohio Sheriff Matt Lutz is again reminding citizens that two years ago the state actually had to pass a bill making it illegal to consume alcohol and light off fireworks because so many people were blowing themselves up while shitfaced, the Zanesville Times Recorder reports.

“People get careless, and they start mixing things with alcohol,” said Lutz, adding that his office spends too much time on the Fourth of July responding to drunkenly botched use of celebratory explosives. “You have to know what you’re doing. A lot of it comes down to common sense.”

Lutz said the most common issues his deputies respond to during the Fourth of July are hand injuries from patriots holding them and they go off too soon, property damage from people firing projectiles too close to homes, debris from aerial fireworks landing in nearby pools and causing damage, or injuries from people aiming and shooting fireworks at each other. The 2022 Ohio fireworks law makes lighting them off while intoxicated a first-degree misdemeanor. Among other provisions, the law prohibits launching fireworks at another person and discharging them indoors.
