As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd.
The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering.
The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978.
48 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

The .@GOP should run this as an ad for the midterms 💥
Unbelievable 🤯
🚨 BREAKING: Files confirm Donald Trump BLEW THE WHISTLE on Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting activities in a 2006 phone call with the police
"TRUMP was one of the very first people to call" 👀
Trump said Ghislaine Maxwell is "evil" and "focus on her"
Democrats are SPEECHLESS.
This is important to note
Our State government has done everything in their power to constrain Keith’s ability to oppose their unconstitutional demands
Keith is just simply following the Constitution & using that check on Governmental authority against them
Here is the statement that I was going to read today at the hearing, but the time was cut from 3 minutes to 90 seconds so I had to adjust. I posted the following on the written record.
SB 5974 Statement
In the interest of time, I’ll skip the fake pleasantries and get right to it. Elections have consequences, and I acknowledge that. Democrats have a super majority in the house, the senate, governor, and every statewide executive office. You have it all except the office of sheriff, and once you have control over sheriffs you think you can impose your will on people like me.
Some of my colleagues naively believe that they can come here and reason with you. They think you don’t understand what’s at stake here. They don’t understand you like I do. You know what is at stake, and you are acting on it. You are not dumb, you are evil. But I am not surprised.
You are going to pass this qualifications bill for law enforcement, but you will not hold yourselves accountable. You say, “We have to hold the chiefs and sheriffs accountable because they enforce the law.” That’s just the excuse you use for the low information people that vote for you. If you really wanted accountability, you would have qualifications for anyone who runs for office. You write the laws that we enforce so why should you not have the same qualifications?
I propose that everyone who runs for an elected office go through a background check, a social media review, a polygraph, and a psychological test. Democrats won’t agree to that because you have convicted felons who are elected officials, and you want more.
I represent almost one million people in Pierce County, many more people than any of you do. I wasn’t elected chief of police. Being sheriff of Pierce County is much more than just police work. Citizens reach out to me all the time regarding overreach of the government by you. Some say they finally have a voice because of me, and you want to silence my voice. If I towed the Democrat line, you would not have any issue with me, but since I know what a woman is and I know transgender women are men, you want me silenced. You want to give an un-elected bureaucracy the ability to de-certify me and remove me from office because you don’t agree with my speech.
You Democrats hate President Trump so much, yet you do the very things you accuse him of doing such as imposing these types of controls over other independently elected officials.
Also, just for the record, my deputies don’t wear face masks, but once you pass the law that they can’t, I will not only allow them, but I will also encourage them to do so.
I don’t recognize your authority to impose these controls over me, and when you try to remove me from office before my term expires, thousands of Pierce County residents will surround the County City Building in downtown Tacoma and not allow that to happen. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I and they are prepared. Are you prepared?
Finally, anyone who votes for this will never have an audience with this sheriff.
I’m in Olympia, and I just testified regarding SB 5974. I only had 90 seconds to speak instead of 3 minutes. This was completely by design. Later today I will share my whole prepared statement.
Dear friend (who thinks I’m unkind - or even homophobic),
Remember how much we loved Boy George and Marilyn when we were growing up? Our parents weren’t thrilled by men in make-up and dresses - but we thought they were cool. They were expressing individuality and challenging rigid gender stereotypes.
You and I both grew up supporting gay rights for a simple reason: people shouldn’t be punished, excluded or shamed for who they love.
That belief hasn’t changed.
But being gay, lesbian or bisexual is about who you’re attracted to. Gender identity is about how someone understands or describes themselves.
Those are not the same thing.
And treating them as if they are puts women and girls
at risk.
Here’s the crucial difference.
Boy George, Marilyn, David Bowie - and others before them - pushed boundaries around gender expression: clothes, make-up, performance. But we knew they were men - and so did they.
They weren’t demanding entry to women’s spaces.
They weren’t claiming women’s awards or competing in women’s sporting categories.
And women weren’t being forced to agree that the man standing in front of them was a woman - or risk social or professional consequences.
We both have daughters now - young women just starting their adult lives. I’ve taught mine that no means no and I’m sure you’ve taught yours the same.
But that message becomes meaningless if our girls are also being told they must say “yes” to any man who says he’s a woman - even when their instincts say otherwise.
If a girl isn’t interested in make-up or stereotypically feminine things, she may be told she’s actually a man - rather than a strong, independent young woman who dresses and behaves as she pleases.
And if she’s same-sex attracted, she may face pressure from men who identify as “lesbians” and expect access to her spaces - and her body - something we'd never have accepted as progressive or 'kind' when we were younger.
Single-sex spaces - toilets, changing rooms, hospital wards, refuges, prisons - exist because women need them. Not because all men are dangerous, but because male violence is a reality and sex-based boundaries reduce risk.
Women cannot know which men pose a threat and which don’t. That’s why all must stay out of women's spaces. Good men understand this - without question.
I know you want to be kind. So do I.
But kindness isn’t asking women and girls to surrender their privacy, dignity or safety in order to prove they’re “tolerant”.
Or calling them 'homophobic' or bigoted for saying no.
With love,
Janet
Let me add this, from the jump, so there’s NO confusion. I started in this movement as a candidate during the Tea Party movement, and I began my political commentary career shortly thereafter. I helped build this movement and I sure as hell am not going to let it get hijacked by a group of black-pillers, life-losers, grifters and bums.
We are a movement guided by truth. The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of eternal truths. We are not the “latest thing” group. We are not political cannibals. I’ve watched quietly from the inside while doing the job I was hired to do, but I’m back now, and it’s time to restore balance to the force (that one was for Gui).
As we get ready to make some announcements about the future of the show, I also want to warn the haters and the zeroes - we’ve been at this a long time. We live for this stuff. This isn’t our first, second or tenth rodeo. We’ve seen a lot dipshits come and go. We revel in making you angry enough to show your asses. It’s glorious.
We’ve got midterms coming up, and there’s no time for bullshit. This administration is cooking and REAL change simmers. If you’re spending your entire day bitching and whining with 3/4ths of the term still to go, then please find the exits. There’s no time for it. It’s not “infighting” when you excise a cancer killing the host. It’s “outfighting” because you’re not part of any movement I’m familiar with.
Looking forward to big things ahead. Can’t wait to tell you about it.

This morning I was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside of St Paul, Minnesota
Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, a man knocked on my window.
I rolled down the window and asked, "What's going on?"
“Americans have surrounded the entire somalian community, and they want their $18 billion dollars back,
otherwise, they are going to douse it in gasoline and set it on fire.
We are going from car to car, collecting donations."
"How much is everyone giving, on an average?" I asked.
The man said, "Roughly a gallon."
