Inhofe, a Republican, was the state’s longest serving senator from 1994 to 2023 and passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his wife Kay, his children and other family members, a former senior aide tells Fox News.
Flashback: When Al Gore emerged from his energy-guzzling mansion to address the Senate in 2007 only to refuse to take his own energy reduction pledge from An Inconvenient Truth when presented to him by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Ann Coulter quipped, “I kind of respect him more, it shows he is not stupid enough to believe all this global warming nonsense. He’s trying to get us to believe. Okay, fine, he may be a hypocrite but at least he’s not a moron.”

BIDEN CAMPAIGN COLLAPSE TRACKER: Denial Ain’t Just a River in Egypt. “It’s Day Five of my Biden Campaign Collapse Tracker and I’m here to tell you that the Aswan Dam couldn’t hold back all the denial that various Democrats have for you today. It’s an ugly thing to see and, if you’re at all concerned about the fate of our Republic, also glorious.”

When special counsel Robert K. Hur concluded in a February report that President Biden should not be prosecuted for mishandling classified documents in part because a jury would view the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Biden and his aides hit back hard.
The 81-year-old president called an impromptu news conference where he angrily denied that he was forgetful. “I’m well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man and I know what the hell I’m doing. … My memory is fine. Take a look at what I’ve done since I’ve become president,” Biden shot back.
But at the same news conference — about 12 minutes long — after discussing the complexities of the current state of the Israel-Gaza war, Biden referred to President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi, the leader of Egypt, as the president of Mexico. That followed a week in which Biden described contacts he’d had as president with former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, and former French president François Mitterrand, who died in 1996.
The president’s aides and allies then went on a blitz to showcase people who had vouched for the president’s fitness, including former Republican House speaker Kevin McCarthy.
He knew — and let the White House use him as a talking point, anyway.
DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY: Chicago Mayor Blames Richard Nixon as Over 100 People Shot at Weekend.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson appeared to suggest President Richard Nixon was to blame for the city’s pervasive gun violence problem.
More than 100 people were injured in shootings in Chicago, at least 19 of them fatally, over the Fourth of July weekend, when there is often a spike in gun violence.
“We are standing here today talking about a violent weekend because of generations of disinvestment and deep disenfranchisement in the exact communities where so much of the violence has taken place,” Johnson, a Democrat who took office last year, said during a press conference on Monday.
* * * * * * * *
“Black death has been unfortunately been accepted in this country for a very long time. We had a chance 60 years ago to get at the root causes. And people mocked President Johnson, and we ended up with Richard Nixon. I’m going to work hard every day to transform this city. That’s what it takes to build a better, stronger, safer Chicago.”
Johnson did not elaborate further on his remarks about Nixon. His office has been contacted for comment via email.
The Richard Nixon Foundation responded to Johnson’s remarks on social media.
“Mayor Johnson’s reference to President Nixon is gratuitous and the facts are not on his side in his characterization of Richard Nixon and the Nixon administration’s civil rights record,” the foundation wrote in a thread on X, formerly Twitter, along with a list of the administration’s accomplishments.

JOHN LUCAS: Some advice for the GOP and some questions for the Dem nominee. “So that I am not misunderstood, it is important and necessary to rebut the constantly changing stories about Biden’s mental fitness for office, but that should now become a peripheral effort, not the main focus. Why? Because if Biden is replaced as the Democrat nominee, as seems increasingly likely, that issue will disappear immediately. The state media will instantly begin crowing about how wonderful Kamala is, or Gavin, or whomever the Democrats run after ousting Biden, no matter who it may be. The GOP and its supporters therefore need to keep focusing the voters now on the ball — what substantive issues will Trump support that the eventual Democrat nominee will fight?”

On the international stage, he wants to make a case for preserving global alliances in an era when many populist and nationalist leaders are looking inward, his advisers say.
But the tougher task will be on the domestic front, where he’ll need to plow through three days of meetings, speeches and dinners — capped by a news conference Thursday — with the vigor and focus that were noticeably absent during his debate with Donald Trump.
The summit should be a friendly forum for Biden, who is trying to stave off calls from fellow Democrats to drop out of the presidential race after his poor debate showing.
It’s happening on his home turf, so he won’t have to grapple with the overseas travel and late hours that he says left him depleted ahead of the debate.
“He’ll be on an international stage,” said William Daley, a White House chief of staff for President Barack Obama. “This is the first big stage for the president to have since the debate.”
It’s cute that NBC is still pretending that it’s Biden doing any of these things — or would be if the stakes weren’t so serious.

WHAT OUR NAVY HAS BEEN DOING INSTEAD OF GETTING READY TO ACTUALLY FIGHT: Ready for a Lean Six Sigma Flashback?
While money and efficient processes are important when you look at the last quarter century, what did we gain?
Did the “business best practices” fads of the 1990s-2000s make LCS better? Did it make DDG-1000 a success? Did it control technology risk assessment with FORD? Did it create a more effective maintenance infrastructure?
Did our proposed cure for perceived ills – spreadsheets and motivational speaker seminars – really address the core problem?
Was it really the system that produced our process – and not the system that selected our people – that needed to be looked at? Was it both problems, but we decided to attack the more comfortable of the two?
The system that selects our political leaders is also deeply flawed, also with potentially fatal results.
