The Other McCain starts things off with May 27: A Date That Will Live in Hilarity

Big hat-tip to Ace of Spades for reminding us that it was on this date — May 27, 2011 — that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) used his official Twitter account to send a photo of his . . . pelvic bulge, and then claimed that his account had been hacked.

Scott Pinsker at PJ Media - The Dems Declare War on the Obama Boys

Folks, NBC News was obviously working on this story for a very long time. They had three journalists collaborating on it, including Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki, their “senior national political reporters.” They name-dropped 50 or so people in the first 30 paragraphs. Donors, activists, and big-time operatives were all interviewed.

A [feces]-ton of resources went into this story.

Matt Margolis at PJ Media - The Media Want Us to Panic About COVID Again

For most Americans, COVID is now just a fading memory, but the media isn’t ready to let it go. They’re back at it again, using the latest variant to stir up fear and push panic.

Joel at The Ultimate Answer to Kings - Youch. No more reloads for the Arex.

Put the pistol back together again. This time I loaded the mags with new Fiocchi ammo, went down the driveway, and blasted away. 36 rounds, bang bang bang, no problems at all.

William Teach at Pirate's Cove Your Fault: Romanian Farmers Devastated By Cold Snap

Got that? Carbon pollution driven extreme weather is causing ….. freezing conditions. Heck, it only made it into the mid-60s here in Raleigh Monday and Tuesday. It’s normally 83.

Mike LaChance at Gateway Pundit - Watch Joe Scarborough Stutter and ‘But Trump’ When Confronted With His Previous Defense of Biden’s Mental State (VIDEO)

Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s Morning Joe was recently confronted by journalist Mark Halperin about his now famous defense of Joe Biden right before the disaster debate last spring, where he claimed this Joe Biden was the best and sharpest Joe Biden ever.

Copilot isn't always bad. It's only almost always bad. (Deplet.ing)
