ITEM 1: Robert W Malone MD, MS, reported, "Project Veritas has broken Pfizer's Gain-of-Function Research Program Wide Open.

"Pfizer's research is dangerous, immoral and must be shut down now."

What Pfizer is doing by mutating covid violates the Geneva Conventions.

ITEM 2: In a post about water being wet, excuse me, about CNN's ratings falling, John Nolte gave some of the reasons why:

• Russia Collusion Hoax
• Hands Up, Don’t Shoot Hoax
• Jussie Smollett Hoax
• Covington KKKids Hoax
• Very Fine People Hoax
• Seven-Hour Gap Hoax
• Global Warming Hoax
• Russian Bounties Hoax
• Trump Trashes Troops Hoax
• Policemen Killed at Mostly Peaceful January 6 Protest Hoax
• Rittenhouse Hoax
• Eating While Black Hoax
• Border Agents Whipping Illegals Hoax
• NASCAR Noose Hoax
• The Georgia Jim Crow 2.0 Hoax
• Trump Assaulted Secret Service Agents and Grabbed Steering Wheel of Beast Hoax
• Frame MAGA for Alleged Paul Pelosi Assault Narrative

Hoax is a polite way of saying lie.

Cable TV news is dying like newspapers. Fox is the closest to having any credibility. Becoming a tool of The Party is bringing them down. I don't watch them because I am too busy following the news.

ITEM 3: Battleswarm reported, "Texas Sues Biden Administration Over Border."

The story said, "Texas isn’t alone in this fight. The lawsuit filing itself shows that Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming have all signed onto the lawsuit."

I know what you are thinking. West Virginia? Hey, we need to keep Virginians out. They hate us because they want to date us.

ITEM 4: Matt Taibbi reported, "Move Over, Jayson Blair: Meet Hamilton 68, the New King of Media Fraud."

His story said, "Hamilton 68 was and is a computerized dashboard designed to be used by reporters and academics to measure 'Russian disinformation.' It was the brainchild of former FBI agent (and current MSNBC disinformation expert) Clint Watts, and backed by the German Marshall Fund and the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a bipartisan think-tank. The latter’s advisory panel includes former acting CIA chief Michael Morell, former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, former Hillary for America chair John Podesta, and onetime Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol."

The story is behind a paywall but no one else is going to do a story because they work for Hamilton 68 now.

ITEM 5: The race for RNC chairman is over.

Congratulations to Ronna McDaniel for finally winning an election after six years.

He said it before I could.

The RNC immediately passed a resolution condemning Kanye West and Nick Fuentes. That's the message the American electorate has waited for. 

ITEM 6: Ace reported, "Paul Pelosi Police Bodycam Footage Released."

Bizarre. 

ITEM 7: The Washington Post (paywall) reported, "Downtown D.C.’s struggles mount as many workers remain remote."

New Yorker magazine (paywall) reported, "New Yorkers Never Came ‘Flooding Back.’ Why Did Rents Go Up So Much? Getting to the bottom of a COVID-era real estate mystery."

They shut down an economy that was three centuries in the making. They wonder why it did not just pop back up in three years.

ITEM 8: The Daily Wire reported, "On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled against Masterpiece Cakeshop baker Jack Phillips, arguing he violated the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act by refusing to bake a cake for a gender transition celebration.

"Critics of the ruling point to Phillips’ earlier win at the Supreme Court, which narrowly ruled in his favor, as the reason the baker continues to be targeted by activists. In 2017, former Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion that some have argued essentially said Phillips could have lost his Supreme Court case if it hadn’t been for Colorado officials openly disparaging Phillips and his Christian views."

A court with 5 actual conservatives and John Roberts needs to make it clear: Americans do not have to kneel to the Zods of LGBT.

ITEM 9: Breitbart reported, "Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the prospect of peace talks with Vladimir Putin while dismissing his Russian counterpart Thursday as a nobody."

Well, if he is a nobody, then why should Americans give a dime to stopping him?

ITEM 10: Bloomberg reported, "The U.S. Treasury Department refused Wednesday to provide House Republicans any suspicious activity reports it may have on foreign banking and other business transactions by Hunter Biden and other members of President Joe Biden’s family."

Democrats called someone renting a room at a Trump hotel an emolument.

Now they say collecting millions in foreign bribes is not a crime.

ITEM 11: AP tweeted on Thursday, "We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing 'the' labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant."

Thus the word "the" is now The Forbidden. After the French complained about being lumped with the mentally ill, AP deleted the post and apologized. Oddly, the college educated didn't complain about being lumped with the mentally ill. Maybe it is because so many of the conspiracy theories taught nowadays in college are crazy.

ITEM 12: The Epoch Times reported, "Chicago Crime Rises 61 Percent in 2023, Violent Offenses Spike While Governor Insists Crime ‘Coming Down.’"

Having shattered the credibility of the media by feeding it lies, Democrats are free to lie at will knowing none of their supporters will believe the fact-checkers.

ITEM 13: The Blaze reported, "29-year-old woman arrested after attending high school as a freshman, suspected of luring teens for trafficking."

No, it wasn't Gabrielle Carteris.

FINALLY, today's Substack column is, “With all due respect, I am against dumb.”

I laughed so hard writing and editing it that the cat freaked out. Do yourself a favor: Read it!
