Bulls fans were disappointed Tuesday to learn that this year’s big dance against humans in Pamplona, Spain resulted in zero kills and just six injuries – only one of them a goring – suffered by mankind so far in the multi-day battle, Sky News reports on a disappointing streak for Team Bovine.

A new Emerson College national survey conducted after President Joe Biden’s clusterfuck of a debate performance against convicted felon former President Trump finds the Orange God Emperor leading Joe 46 to 43 percent nationally but the gap closes to a 50-50 tie when leaners are included in the head-to-head. When Russian assets Robert F Kennedy Jr, Jill Stein, and Cornel West are added to the mix Trump leads Biden 44 to 40 percent. Emerson of course did not include the Libertarian guy, who’s actually going to be on the ballot in a shit ton more states than Kennedy and West, nor did they mention what the “with leaners” number is in the full field.

Still, if this were the final Emerson number of the 2024 election we’d be feeling pretty confident about Biden’s chances since for at least the past two years they’ve been off by four to six percent in favor of the Republican. Examples: In February they found Dem Congressman Tom Suozzi +4 ahead of that Mazi Pilip idiot in the New York 3rd special election, Suozzi won +8. Last November they put Kentucky Attorney General Dan Cameron was +1 Dem Governor Andy Beshear. Then Beshear won by 5. In 2022 now-Senator John Fetterman was behind Dr Oz by 1 percent in Emerson’s final poll, then Fetterman won by 5. That Tudor Dixon dumbass was trailing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer by 5 according to Emerson, Dixon lost by more than twice that. That Adam Laxalt dickbag was smoking Nevada Dem Senator Catharine Cortez Masto by 5. Then oops, she won in a squeaker.

We could keep going with these but then we’d look like we were taking the polling seriously.

Fox News on Tuesday oversold spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan’s legal acumen and clout by printing a press release laundered as a news article headlined “House Judiciary GOP calls on appellate courts to ‘reverse the verdict’ in NY v Trump in new staff report,” framing it as if it were an appellate brief or something – which doesn’t appear to even contain any actual legal arguments.

From the conclusion of the recycled bullshit embedded in Fox News’s “article,” emphasis ours:

New York appellate courts have been “dubbed the ’13th juror’… because judges are allowed to make decisions based on the facts of the case – not only the law.”204 One former Manhattan assistant district attorney called it “an underappreciated power that the appellate division has” when reviewing cases on appeal. The New York Court of Appeals characterized the intermediate appellate courts power to “review questions of law and questions of fact” as the “linchpin of our constitutional and statutory [appellate] design.” Given that President Trump’s indictment was conceived in legal and constitutional error and the trial exacerbated and compounded those errors, an honest review of the facts and the law will likely lead appellate courts to vacate the conviction and dismiss the indictment with prejudice. This will go a long way in restoring the American people’s trust and confidence in our justice system, although more work is ahead. In the meantime, the Committee and Select Subcommittee will continue our oversight of lawfare and its effect on the rule of law in the United States.

You really have to step back a little bit to appreciate the gap between the lede of the “article” claiming that Jordan’s “findings should prompt appellate courts to ‘reverse the verdict,'” and then the staff report itself simply saying it will all work out because see the previous 45 pages.

Their loss!
You are one of the best and smartest members of Congress.
Back stabbing Bob Good and the Never Trump freedom caucus members are the problem.
They have destroyed freedom caucus and have made it ineffective.
In doing, so they have made our entire Republican majority… pic.twitter.com/6o4iJwxhTr

Ohio MAGA Congressman Warren Davidson was tossed from the conservative klan on Monday for the sin of opposing chair Bob Good ahead of his narrow primary defeat to Trump-backed challenger John McGuire, all of it for Good’s original sin of endorsing heels-wearing Florida Gov Ron DeSantis’s failed Republican presidential primary bid ($400 golden Trump sneakers-wearing Texas scumbag Congressman Troy Nehls also resigned from the Caucasians in protest of Davidson’s ouster).

It’s not clear if white nationalist fellow former Freedom Caucasian Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “I feel you bro” was welcomed by Davidson, since we can’t read likes publicly anymore. Thanks, Elon.

French Fourth Reich-y party boss Marine Le Pen is under criminal investigation for possible illicit financing of her failed 2022 presidential campaign, the AP reports. Le Pen, whose National Rally Party got the shit kicked out of them in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, is being eyed for otherwise non-specific allegations of accepting a financial loan, misappropriation of property, fraud and forgery. No further details were available, but damned if it doesn’t sound very Kremlin-y.

Joe Manchin’s nightmare is coming true: Sherwood.news reports that wind has overtaken coal as a source of US electricity production for at least two months and counting starting in March through April, the most recent month that data is available from the Energy Information Administration, showing that wind turbines spit out 47,688 MWh nationally to coal-fired plants’ 37,223 MWh.

Anti-wind power advocates will no doubt be absolutely horrified by the news. “You want to see a bird graveyard, go under a windmill someday. You will see more dead birds than you’ve ever seen in your life,” said one in remarks last year. That same anti-wind power expert also in 2019 warned of a deadly form cancer caused by proximity to turbines. “They say the noise causes cancer,” the expert claimed at the time. The next year he asserted he knows more about wind than you do.

A very bad dog who was reaching for a treat in a jar stored behind a range accidentally turned on the stove and started a raging house fire in Parma, Ohio on Sunday, Cleveland19 reports.

The owner suffered second degree burns trying to rescue the four dogs present in the home that suffered extensive, though not total, damage in the inferno. Her three mutts were unharmed but sadly a fourth that she was watching for a friend who was out of town went to doggie heaven.

Or hell if they were the one who started to fire. It’s at least the second suspected case of pet-on-stove arson in Ohio in this year, as a Canton cat owner said one of her felines probably ignited a blaze that consumed a home in that city a few months ago. That cat is either in hell or headed there.

Convicted felon former President Trump on Monday commanded the mind-slaves in his party to fall in line behind that bullshit bill redundantly banning noncitizens from voting in federal elections, posting they must pass it, “or go home and cry yourself to sleep. Non citizen Illegal Migrants are getting the right to vote, being pushed by crooked Democrat Politicians who are not being stopped by an equally dishonest Justice Department. Our whole voting system is under siege. Harmeet and David, go to court and get this stopped, NOW.” No idea what the fuck this idiot is saying about going to court to get something stopped when the whole post was supposed to be about passing a bill.

Anyway, Trump continued with “The Dems can’t win on their policies, the only way they can win is to CHEAT. They do it at every level of government, and they do it well. That’s how they get an incapacitated moron like Joe Biden elected. Get tough RNC (Michael W!), Speaker Johnson, and all State and Local Republican politicians. The Justice Department is CORRUPT and won’t do a thing to help. They have no shame! All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time. We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!” with the “ZUCKERBUCKS” we take to mean as warning Mark Zuckerberg to stay away from election office philanthropy.

Also love the bitching at RNC chairman Mike Whatley, who replaced Ronna Not-Romney at the beginning of an election year specifically because she was “not good on election integrity.”

A new national post-Biden debate train wreck survey by Dem internal pollster Bendixen and Amandi finds former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leading convicted felon former President Trump 43 to 41 percent in a 2024 matchup, a lead flip from Trump 43 to Biden 42 that Politico picked up to show that Joe’s a weaker candidate this year than the Dem that Trump originally defeated in 2016.

Vice President Kamala Harris leads Trump 42 to 41 percent in that matchup. Interestingly Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer trails Trump 40 to 36 percent and California Governor Gavin Newsom is also behind at a similar 40 to 37 percent, but that appears to be more of a name recognition thing as the undecided share increases to 17 and 15 percent, respectively, in those tests. The undecided share drops to 10 percent on both Biden and Clinton, and 12 percent on Harris.

And yeah, this is what Politico led their marquee daily newsletter with on Tuesday. Hillary slightly ahead of Trump in the zero chance of happening 2024 matchup, Biden slightly behind.

Convicted felon former President Trump on Monday predicted with “100 percent” certainty that the United States would soon be attacked by foreign terrorists because Biden border something during a pre-taped phone-in interview with Fox News propagandist Sean Hannity. “You always say that,” Trump told Hannity, as if to give him credit for a prediction that has not come to pass yet, leading Hannity to attempt to interject with “I pray I’m wrong,” which Trump ignored as he kept rambling.

Former Oath Keppers lawyer and defacto leader Kelleye SoRelle, who last year was deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial – and she is definitely insane – after she was charged with conspiracy for her involvement in the far right terrorist group’s plot to overthrow the government on January 6th, has reached a plea deal with with federal prosecutors, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

Sunday set a record for the number of air travelers around the country, with the Transportation Security Authority screening more than three million passengers in one day for the first time, ABC News reports.  The big travel day, brought on by the end of an extended Independence Day weekend, topped the 2.99 million passengers last month on June 23rd.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas used he record day to urge Congress to approve pay increases for TSA employees, who work on a different, lower pay scale than other similar government officers.  The Agency has faced recruitment and retention problems because of the pay imbalance, leading to overworked staff in some places and underserved airports in others.

Noting that “President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical,” White House Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor attempted to knock down conspiracy theories relating to visits a Walter Reed neurologist made to the White House, ABC News reports.

O’Connor said Biden sees neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard, an expert in Parkinson’s, as part of his annual exam.  Cannard, O’Connor noted, is a member of the White House medical staff who treats thousands of service members who work at the White House and in support of its operations.

Cannard “has held regular Neurology Clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations. Many military personnel experience neurological issues related to their service, and Dr. Canard regularly visits the WHMU as part of this General Neurology practice.”

Michael Bloomberg provided a grant that will cover tuition and living expenses for medical students at The Johns Hopkins Medical School, making obtaining an education at one of the leading medical schools possible for thousands of students who previously couldn’t afford it or wouldn’t take out loans.

According to the Baltimore Banner, the grant will cover any student whose household income doesn’t exceed $300,000.  With tuition and school expenses at around $70,000 and living expenses at $30,000, a student who takes loans to attend would otherwise end up more than $400,000 in debt.

An undergraduate alumnus of the university, Bloomberg has donated more money to Johns Hopkins than its namesake benefactor.  Bloomberg’s earlier donations provided funds to improve diversity and opportunities for populations traditionally underrepresented at the school.  It also replicates a similar grant made to Albert Einstein Medical School by Ruth Gottesman, the widow of a Warren Buffett business partner.

Three days ago, when the Anchorage Daily News reported that 46-year-old federal judge for the Alaska Federal District Court Joshua Kindred abruptly resigned his seat on the bench just four years into a lifetime appointment, things smelled fishier than a barroom in Dutch Harbor.

It wasn’t until a 30-page complaint of judicial misconduct against Kindred became public Monday that the reasoning became clear.  “In its Order and Certification, the Judicial Council concluded, among other things, that Judge Kindred engaged in misconduct by creating a hostile work environment for his law clerks and by having an inappropriately sexualized relationship with one of his law clerks both during her clerkship and after she became an Assistant United States Attorney,” a statement from the Ninth Circuit said.  “The former law clerk did not appear on any case before Judge Kindred while she was employed as an Assistant United States Attorney.”

Previously known only for blocking an attempt to keep Trump off Alaska’s 2024 ballot, Kindred now gives up a lifetime appointment on the bench, a pension, his future legal career and possibly even his law license for behavior that would be condoned by conservatives if Clarence Thomas did it.

“There are only two people I can find in Washington, DC that want Joe Biden in the race, and that’s the Biden family and his White House physician both of whom are in a lot of trouble in these Biden family influence peddling scheme[.]”

Why does virtually every Republican starting a segment on Fox sound like your drunk uncle on Open Mic Night at the Yuk Yuks at the back of the old mall, where the abandoned multi-plex used to be?  Republican Jamie Comer–the Oversight Committee chair who relied on a Russian agent and an arms dealer for Iran to fuel his last round of committee weaponization–has created a conspiratorial backstory for the White House Physician is a Biden family friend who discussed a business deal with a family member after Joe Biden left office at the end of the Obama Administration.

Two men riding on personal watercraft in a Miami-Dade County canal opened fire at a house hosting a holiday weekend party on Sunday, leaving at least one person wounded, the Miami Herald reports.  The shooting apparently stemmed from an argument between a party-goer and one of the men on the personal watercraft, who pulled out a weapon and opened fire.  The perpetrators were able to flee through the canals to get away from the site of the shooting in Golden Glades.

After hearing Texas Republican Congressman and generations-tardy confederate Chip Roy on what Democrats should do concerning President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign during which he called Vice President Kamala Harris the “DEI Vice President,” rising Democratic star, Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, tells Republicans to “get over their incompetence and come up to [Democrats’] level.” This is how you counter conservative talking points.

Convicted felon former President Trump on Monday raged over President Biden’s accurate statements about which of them is responsible for reducing the price of insulin, posting he “got the price of Insulin for seniors brought WAY DOWN, not Biden. He just inherited this, and many other things, and then always tries to take credit for it. He’s done nothing but destroy our Country!!!”

Surprise, the fat fuck is lying. Political pressure from the Biden Administration led to Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi – the three largest insulin manufacturers responsible together for 90 percent of annual US consumption – voluntarily capping the price at $35 per month for all patients in 2022 after the Inflation Reduction Act capped it for Medicare patients (Senate Republicans had blocked the general cap). Trump’s only “achievement” on this front was a smaller-scale voluntary program.
