🇺🇸 ONLY EIGHT DEMOCRATS! - Bill Maher did the math on his own party last night and it did not go well.
Two Democrat congressmen, Tom Suozzi and Adam Gray, put out a pledge called Promise to America. Three lines. We are capitalist, not socialist. We want safety, not lawlessness. We are proud, not ashamed of America.
That's it. That's the whole ask.
Eight House Democrats signed it. Out of 212!
Maher's punchline was that, "there has to be an easier way to lose the swing states!"
Sit with that for a second. Two hundred and four members of Congress looked at "proud of America" and decided that was a bridge too far. Not a policy. Not a spending bill. A sentence.
These are people who put their hand on a Bible and swore an oath to the country. Apparently saying you like it is where they draw the line.
Maher also said his vote is in play. When you have lost the guy who has spent twenty years explaining Democrats to Democrats, the problem is not messaging.
Eight out of 212.
You cannot poll your way out of that.
@keithellison I didn’t write the story, Keith. KSTP did.
Maybe someone who allows $9 billion in fraud shouldn’t be Attorney General.

Sylvester Stallone says the night he was nominated for an Oscar is one of the saddest days of his life
Sly: “A year before, I was destitute. I had nothing, I was broke. And it came out, and a miracle happened, and I’m with some of the best films in Hollywood. I’m like, God, I’m in the same category as Best Picture. These are great writers, great people. And they gave me a front-row seat.”
“And I invited my mother. I told her I’m up for an Oscar, I was a bum a year ago. She goes, ‘All right, but you have to invite Vivian.’ I go, ‘Who’s Vivian?’ She goes, ‘My hairdresser.’ I go, ‘I don’t have a seat for your hairdresser. It’s you and me, front row.’ She goes, ‘If you don’t invite Vivian, I’m not coming.’ I go, ‘You haven’t seen Vivian in ten years, she lives in Washington DC.’ She says, ‘I want to see Vivian with me, and then I’ll go.’”
“Well… she didn’t go. So I went alone.”
“So when people go, ‘Ah, you must’ve loved the Oscars’, well not really.”
Sistine: “In your entire acting career, I’m not even going to say Rocky, did they ever acknowledge how proud they were of you?”
Sly: “No, not even once.”
John Thune pulled the Senate into session at two in the morning with only five members present and teamed up with Schumer to force through the Democrat funding bill before leaving town so the president could not make any recess appointments. This late-night stunt is pure establishment sabotage against the mandate voters gave and the video of the empty chamber is circulating as proof that some Republicans are still more interested in protecting the swamp than delivering the change people actually elected.
One of Ayn Rand's very best observations, which has aged like fine wine:
"Socialism is not a movement of the people. It is a movement of the intellectuals, originated, led and controlled by the intellectuals, carried by them out of their stuffy ivory towers into those bloody fields of practice where they unite with their allies and executors: the thugs."
Cancer was practically unknown before vaccination began.
In 1909, Dr. W.B. Clark — a well-known physician declared:
“Cancer was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began… I have dealt with 200 cases of cancer. I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person.”
Even more disturbing: the exact same warning appears in ancient cuneiform records from 1500 BC.
For thousands of years the pattern has been clear:
No vaccines = virtually no cancer.
Vaccines introduced = cancer appears and explodes.
The 1950s–60s polio vaccine was later confirmed to be contaminated with SV40, a cancer-causing monkey virus that infected up to 30+ million Americans.
Today we are told “vaccines are safe.”
The same institutions once assured us the polio shots were safe too.
Still no sign of cancer without cancer-causing injections.
The evidence has been staring us in the face for over 4,000 years.
Question everything. Protect your family.
Bill Maher shuts down Scott Galloway on the spot after he says “everyone should be” on a GLP-1 “within 24 months.”
GALLOWAY: “Every time we find out something new about GLP-1, it's a positive. They're now saying that it reduces the likelihood of stage one cancer going to metastatic cancer... by 50%. Every time we keep waiting for another shoe to drop, we find out, ‘Oh, it's actually a good thing.’ Everyone at this table is going to be on a GLP-1 within 24 months.”
MAHER: “No, not everyone at this table!"
ERIN BROCKOVICH: “No.” [Shakes head]
GALLOWAY: “Everyone should be.”
MAHER: “Well, it’s not been around long enough, I don't think.”
GALLOWAY: “It's FDA approved. I trust our agency.”
MAHER: “Oh, and when did they ever lie?! When did they ever get one wrong?”
GALLOWAY: “Fair enough. I set myself up for that one. I think when you look at the studies around the upside versus the downside here, it's the most transformative technology in the world.”
MAHER: “It is very transformative. It also saps — they have found — people's drive. I mean your drive to eat, but also like your drive to work. Companies don't like it because that kind of like eye of the tiger... goes away in a lot of people when they take this.”
GALLOWAY: “Well, the fear is it doesn't want to make you eat less, it just makes you want less. That's the fear. Right?"
MAHER: "I don't want to want less!”
GALLOWAY: “Fair enough.”
MAHER: “I can control my eating without a drug!”
GALLOWAY: “I think you're blessed with genetics that make it easy for you, and you have the money to eat well.”
MAHER: “Okay. But I've showed this picture before of people like in 1969... There's no fat people in the crowd. And trust me, cake was delicious in 1969. Somehow they controlled it.”
When Will Ferrell and Jeff Goldblum went live with SNL's "Space: The Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray" sketch, the first part was scripted and on cue cards for both actors, but halfway through, Ferrell started improv'ing insane questions and you can see Goldblum holding on for dear life answering them 😂 I forget how good this era of SNL really was
You are guaranteed to become dumber about wildlife if you read FactPost. It’s outrageous what they put out here, and it makes it harder for actual conservationists to advocate for species protections.
Under Biden and Inteior Sec Deb Haaland The Fish and Wildlife Service listed the dune sagebrush lizard as endangered for two main reasons. They said its habitat in the Permian Basin, specifically shinnery oak, could not be restored after well pads/roads were put in by oil and gas, which just isn’t true, they just declared it so. The second reason to list the lizard, of course, was climate change (Biden).
But in court, the Fish and Wildlife Service admitted two glaring omissions in its own work: failure to consider the state of Texas’ Conservation Plan and the additional conservation agreements with private industry and landowners called “Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances.” These are extremely robust conservation efforts, and they weren’t even included when deciding whether to list the lizard. They do things like requiring oil and gas to avoid high quality habitats, minimize impacts and reclaim certain ecological impacts, and pay for research/monitoring.
The FWS, when deciding to list a species as endangered must consider what a state is already doing and any additional private land or industry led conservation mitigation, these were ignored in the listing.
There was also a glaring lack of range wide population data so everything was based on a habitat model, when FWS itself conceded the lizard still occupied much of its historical range and could persist for decades as is. Also, the FWS ruling gave no guidance to oil and gas, agencies, land owners etc about permissible land use, leasing, well plugging, ranching, pesticides, any uses at all.
This whole mess is due to nothing other than the Biden Admin’s war on domestic oil and gas development in the Permian Basin. Say what you will about libs but man do they punish their enemies (even it if means previously apolitical science-based agencies like the FWS are now viewed with suspicion).

In 1998, Serena and Venus Williams said they could beat any man ranked outside the top 200 in the men's division.
So, little known and 203rd ranked men's player Karsten Braasch took them up on the challenge.
Braasch after a night of drinking and smoking with zero practice, destroyed Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2 in straight sets.
The Williams sisters are the greatest female athletes of all time. And they barely made Braasch break a sweat.
It wasn't because Braasch was very good. He wasn't.
But, as a male, he possesses biological advantages even the best female athletes can't compete against.
That's the very reason we established women's sports to begin with.
To even the playing field.
That shouldn't be controversial. And you shouldn't need a biology degree to understand it.
