Asked by CBS News correspondent Ed O’Keefe for his response to Republican Florida Senator and poorly disguised Lizard Person Rick Scott saying, “The best thing, the most effective thing Joe Biden can do to solve the inflation crisis he created is resign.  He’s the problem. … Joe Biden is unwell.  He’s unfit for office.  He’s incoherent, incapacitated and confused,” President Joe Biden chuckled and responded, “I think the man has a problem.”

Scott has made the news recently by presenting an economic plan that would increase taxes on working families while lowering taxes on the ultrawealthy, like himself, as well as terminate all legislation that is five years old or older, requiring every session of Congress to debate things like naming post offices, determining federal felonies AND defund literally everything.

During a Senate banking committee hearing on Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told the committee members the US economy will take a hit from decreased workforce participation by women if Roe v Wade is overturned, Bloomberg reports. “What we’re talking about is whether women will have the ability to regulate their reproductive situation in ways that will enable them to plan lives that are fulfilling and satisfying to them,” said Yellen, adding “One aspect of a satisfying life is being able to feel like you have the financial resources to raise a child, that the children you bring into the word are wanted, and you have the ability to take care of them.”

Fist-pumping Republican Missouri Senate Bro Josh Hawley wants people to know how oppressed he was by pro-Constitution protestors assembling outside of his home in northern Virginia–he didn’t have a residence in Missouri when he was elected, using the address of a relative to qualify to run, in the same way Mehmet Oz did in Pennsylvania–after he encouraged domestic terrorists to overturn the Constitution on January 6th.  And don’t forget: Hawley wasn’t home when the protesters peacefully protested outside his Virginia residence.

No word from the Fox propaganda network on if they will invite on Christine Blasey Ford, who was forced to relocate herself and her family four times when testifying about a sexual assault by a drunken, underage beer drinking Brett Kavanaugh.  Nor will they talk about the death threats received by former Army Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman, who not only received threats, but was fired from his job for doing his job and defending the Constitution.

Next week, for the first time in over half a century, members of Congress will hold a televised hearing on the subject of UFOs, with Defense Department officials testifying on all those weather balloons reflecting the light of Venus that make 90 degree turns at 4,000 mph and swarms of swamp gas that show up on military radar, the New York Times reports.

“Since this is an area of high public interest, any undue secrecy can serve as an obstacle to solving the mystery, or it could prevent us from finding solutions to potential vulnerabilities,” said Indiana Dem Congressman André Carson, a total dweeb who definitely believes in “flying saucers” flown by little purple spacemen, adding “This hearing is about examining steps that the Pentagon can take to reduce the stigma surrounding reporting by military pilots, and by civilian pilots.”

No word yet on if the hearing will be followed by a Congressional investigation into ghosts, vampires, the tooth fairy, and if there are pipes under New York City that lead to the mushroom kingdom but anyway this is all sarcasm because the people who refuse to entertain the possibility of covert extraterrestrial observation of Earth sound just as ridiculous, sometimes even worse than the freaks who believe the British royal family and other leaders are secretly alien reptiles.

Bangor, Maine police responded to a call over a “threatening” sidewalk chalk message in front of the home of Republican Senator Susan Collins on Saturday night, the Bangor Daily News reports. The Antifa terrorist message read “Susie, please, Mainers want WHPA (Women’s Health Protection Act) – Vote yes, clean up your mess.” Police are not investigating and are not seeking any suspects in the heinous chalk attack. “The message was not overtly threatening,” read a Bangor PD report.

Like his fellow MAGA dumbass Maria Bartiromo, Don Jr’s reaction to the doomer COVID comeback warning stories seems more based on the PTSD of the Orange God Emperor losing reelection partially because of his utter failure to take the pandemic seriously in 2020 than the more salient reality that Joe Biden’s approval ratings also took somewhat of a hit during the Delta wave in Summer of 2021 and then more so during the Omicron wave of December 2021-January 2022.

Republicans in Congress indulged the MAGA anti-vax bullshit last year in part because more infections helped them ding Biden’s job approval. If anything they’re probably excited by this forecast. Morons like Junior and Bartiromo meanwhile see it and immediately think “OMFG THAT MEANS MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND LIBS USE MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND MAIL-N BALLOTS MEAN FRAUD!”

Texas man Joey Reed, father of former US Marine Trevor Reed who was imprisoned in Russia for two years on bullshit charges before finally being freed in a prisoner exchange with the Putin regime last month is not happy with chickenshit coward Ted Cruz for staying out of the negotiations over Trevor’s release, the Dallas Morning News reports. “He didn’t do anything. He’s an embarrassment to the state of Texas, let me just say that. I don’t care what or who runs against him, I will work for their campaign to defeat that son of a bitch,” said the senior Reed.

Cruz’s office admitted the weakling Senator stayed out of the talks in a statement to the Morning News, claiming blah blah blah Nord Stream 2. “We were repeatedly advised by Administration officials that my taking a public role in this specific case would be counterproductive, and that because of my role fighting to stop the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, leaders in Russia may well have linked the two issues. That would have endangered Trevor and delayed his release,” said the statement, which did not explain why it was no problem for the other Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn and Congressmen August Pfluger and Michael McCaul to step up and nag Russia to let Trevor go. Cruz, a total dipshit, still called Joey Reed to congratulate him on Trevor’s release last month. “And I told him right on the phone, I said, ‘Where have you been for the last two and a half years?’ I hit him point blank: ‘We are not appreciative.’ He said, ‘Well, anything I can do,’ and I said, ‘We said we needed your help two and a half years ago, not now,'” said Joey Reed.

Russian missiles targeted the vital western Ukrainian port city of Odesa on Tuesday in an apparent bid to disrupt shipments of weapons from NATO allies that have wreaked havoc on Putin’s army, the AP reports. The bombardment comes a day after one person was killed and five wounded in a strike on a shopping center. Meanwhile in the besieged eastern city of Mariupol, about 100 civilians still hiding in the city’s massive steel foundry following Saturday’s successful rescue of hundreds of women, children, and elderly were driven deeper underground by Russian bombardment.

“Georgia officials have concluded that there are no widespread voter fraud by election workers who counted ballots at State Farm Arena in November 2020,” the robotic voice on the announcement aired on OANN says, obviously from a lawyer-written script.  “The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct while working at State Farm Arena on election night.  A legal matter with this network and the two election workers to the mutual satisfaction of through a fair and reasonable settlement.”

The Pulitzer Prize Board recognized the work of the journalists covering the war in Ukraine, where eighteen journalists have been killed covering the Russian invasion, as part of the 2022 awards presentation.

The “failing” Washington Post won in the Public Service category for its coverage of the January 6th domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.  The “failing” New York Times took three awards, two for staff reporting in the international and national news coverage and one for Salamishah Tillet for criticism.

The staff of the Miami Herald was recognized for breaking news coverage of the condo collapse of the Champlain Towers South that killed nearly 100 people.  For the 26th consecutive year, the Fox propaganda network was denied an award.  Any award.

Watch Senator Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo) rewrite history in real time as he equates the peaceful, but loudly, protests outside the homes of despicable Supreme Court justices to the people who stormed the Capitol on January 6th–whom Cruz conveniently forgets… ’cause the attempt to overturn the Constitution wasn’t that big of a deal, or so Ted would like us to believe.

It’s all politics for them.  The ends justify the means.  An-a-an-a-and, ah, it’s complete hypocrisy.  You see this in the corporate media.  You see this among Democrats.  On January 6th of 2021, you had tens of thousands peacefully protesting and yet, the corporate media and Democrats slandered them with th-th-the made-up term ‘insurrectionist’ and yet, in this instance, th-they are not willing to call off their goons, even now, even now, this has the potential to escalate and escalate further.

And “insurrectionist” isn’t a made up term, Ted.  These are the people who want to have control over what gets taught to children in schools, and they fail history and civics.

Still, at the end of the day, abortion will be legal across the country,” Trump advisor Sean Hannity lies, knowing full well that there will be large swaths of states that where women will not have bodily autonomy.  “All the hysteria, all the hyperbole is false even if Roe v. Wade is overturned.  So the idea that Roe, if a, if Roe is overturned that it will somehow end abortion in America is now the big Democratic lie.”

This is outright dishonesty, and even for Hannity, it’s a new low.  You can tell by the harrowing incentive in his voice, sounding like, “C’mon, guys, don’t blame my Republicans for blocking the right to an abortion. It wasn’t their fault.  The Democrats are lying about that, even though Mitch McConnell said earlier today that this is the first step to a possible nationwide abortion ban.”

American artist Andy Warhol’s iconic pop-art silk screen “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn,” depicting sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, was sold at auction Monday for a record $195 million, shattering the previous high price for a work by an American artist, the New York Times reports.

The previous record holder was Jean Michel-Basquiat’s “Untitled” painting, which sold for $110 million in 2017.  That painting broke the record that had been held by another Warhol piece “Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)” sold for $104.5 million in 2013.

“There is a lot of appetite, there is a lot of money and there is a lot of quality,” said the Austrian gallerist Thaddaeus Ropac, who was at the sale. “With all these things, it should work.”

“… so in order to allow it you have to erase Christianity,” failed zygote and Hungarian Marketing Director Tucker Carlson says about some perceived injustice against white people on his Fox cable propaganda show, “and they’ve been workin’ on it a long time.  Ever notice how they call Martin Luther King ‘doctor’ but not ‘reverend’?  King was not a physician; he was a Christian preacher.  They’d like you to forget that.”

It’s true:  the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was not a medical doctor; he had a Ph.D. in Theology.  So recognizing that he was a Doctor means, to an intelligent person, that he was extremely educated in his religious studies.  Only an idiot would think “Doctor” meant King must have been a medical doctor… so thank you for clearing that up for your audience, Tucker.

Zander Moricz, a graduating Florida high school senior and an LGBTQ activist, was instructed by his school administrators to avoid any mention of his activism or his lawsuit against Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over the “Don’t Say Gay” law banning educators from discussing anything relating to sexuality or gender issues with students.

I am the youngest public plaintiff in the “Don’t Say Gay” lawsuit. I am my Florida high school’s first openly-gay Class President. I am being silenced, and I need your help. A few days ago, my principal called me into his office and informed me that if my graduation speech referenced my activism or role as a plaintiff in the lawsuit, school administration had a signal to cut off my microphone, end my speech, and halt the ceremony.

Monday morning.  You’re going to work, getting ready to turn into the office complex with a line of cars behind you, when you spot them:  Protesters carrying signs demonstrating against something or another.

But you’re not just any worker.  You’re a teacher.  And it’s not an office complex; it’s a school campus.  Coming in behind you are the buses carrying your students, not commuters into work, and across the street are protesters picketing signs with aborted fetuses on them.

The guy in the photo above is what Mrs. Jack faced this morning as she started her workweek, with buses of students expected minutes later.  But the guy–and two of his colleagues–didn’t understand what they were getting into. 

Seriously, if the Alitos find their situation untenable, they should just move to a state that is more tolerant of their views and actions.  He doesn’t have to live in a tony Washington, DC suburb.  He could move to, say, West Virginia and commute in, like many people do.  It’s only a two hour drive, across state lines.

If people can do that for a medical procedure, Alito should be willing to do it for his job.

Americans need a plan IMMEDIATELY to solve the shortage of baby formula in our country.

The silence from the Biden administration and FDA is unacceptable as parents across the country are worried about feeding their children.

— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) May 9, 2022

For a guy who’s supposed to have a Rolodex full of business leaders in every industry or knows how to craft legislation, Kevin McCarthy seems awfully feckless and weak while America is hit with yet another supply crisis. This isn’t to defend the Biden Administration’s handling or mishandling of the issue so much as to point out that this cunt seems long on complaining about problems and short on anything remotely resembling using independent action to pitch in, even for the sake of his own interest. Wouldn’t it be smart politics to be seen as trying to get ahead of Biden on an issue like this, especially for a party hell bent on making sure more babies are born?
