“The trend of prominent Democrats being called out by hecklers demanding our leaders pull us back from the brink of nuclear war continued this weekend when a duo of anti-war activists interrupted an Obama rally. Obama turned the opportunity into a teachable moment, insisting that rallygoers not be distracted by the hecklers and their apparently inconsequential concerns about global nuclear annihilation.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the vacuity of Obama’s words, and the distraction techniques he himself uses to avoid confronting his administration’s culpability in the Ukraine conflict.”
“A judge has ruled in favor of a plaintiff suing the FBI to release the data stored on murdered Democratic staffer Seth Rich’s laptop computer. The FBI has asked the judge to reconsider, claiming that the Rich family would be harmed by the release and instead has asked to be allowed to delay the release for – get this – 66 years. Because the FBI has always made its number one priority concern for the family members of crime victims.
Jimmy and his panel of Convo Couch host Craig Pasta and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger wonder why the FBI would be so eager to keep hidden the contents of a laptop they initially claimed they didn’t even have.”
“Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known more familiarly as Lula, has been declared the winner of the Brazilian presidential election, narrowly edging out incumbent Jair Bolsonaro. And as soon as the election results were announced, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement congratulating Lula on his victory – this despite the fact that Lula is generally known as a Bernie Sanders-type leftist, hostile to big corporations and concerned about the poor. Which, frankly, Biden is not.
Jimmy and his panel of Convo Couch host Craig Pasta and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the results of the election and whether Lula is likely to live up to the populist hype.”
It’s pure virtue signaling, of course…Nothing more…They’re doing it for the benefit of their own pubic persona.

How much do they love Oxford?
By The Rotten Pudding
An Original Song
They get on with life as a space man,
They’re a tasty kinda type.
They like playing chess on Sundays,
They like swimming in the week.
They like to contemplate Cambridge.
But when they start to daydream,
Their mind turns straight to Oxford.
Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about Oxford with a smile,
Curved lips they just can’t disguise.
But they think it’s Cambridge making their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
Cambridge or…
Oxford?
They like to use words like ‘rather,’
They like to use words like ‘juicy.’
They like to use words about Cambridge.
But when they stop their talking,
Their mind turns straight to Oxford.
Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about Oxford with a smile,
Curved lips they just can’t disguise.
But they think it’s Cambridge making their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
Cambridge or…
Oxford?
They like to hang out with Becky,
They like to kick back with Tom,
But when left alone,
Their mind turns straight to Oxford.
Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,
I notice the way they think about Oxford with a smile,
Curved lips they just can’t disguise.
But they think it’s Cambridge making their life worthwhile.
Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?
Cambridge or…
Oxford?
They’re not too fond of dirty hippos,
They really hate wasp nests,
But they just think back to Oxford,
And they’re happy once again.
“Twitter is going to be pay-to-play under Elon Musk, and Stephen King is salty as he thinks Twitter should pay HIM to be there. How many people will ACTUALLY leave the platform if verification only costs $8 a month? How many celebrities can afford to leave the platform after sinking countless hours into the hellscape that is called Twitter?”
