ROLL UP FOR THE MYSTERY TOUR! Hero of the Democrats: Marianne Williamson boldly volunteers to replace President Biden.

Our democracy is on the precipice of collapse!!

The evil orange dictator looks sure to defeat the aging and decrepit president! Who will save us from this fate worse than death?

One woman is answering the call:

Today, I throw my hat in the ring. I look forward to a meaningful campaign and an open convention in August. It’s imperative that this new process …

(The one that she’s just making up by herself on the spot.)

… not be guided by media and party elites who are playing in the background, engineering, manipulating anything. This must be a genuinely democratic process.

I’ve received half a million votes in the primary season … With my candidacy, I submit to the American people that a better way forward is possible.

Flashback to America’s Newspaper of Record after a Democratic Party debate in July of 2019: Marianne Williamson Not Sure What She’s Doing Up Here With All These Crazy People.

NFL OWNER HAS “FULL CONFIDENCE” IN HIS SOON-TO-BE FIRED HEAD COACH:

UPDATE:

HMM: 2 injured, 1 missing after explosion at Arkansas defense weapons plant. “The Camden plant houses more than 880,000 square feet of manufacturing and storage space, and it supports military programs such as the Hellfire and Javelin missiles and various mortar munitions, according to the company’s website.”

HMM: Form of B12 deficiency in cerebral spinal fluid found to negatively affect the central nervous system. “In 2014, a team of doctors found themselves having difficulty diagnosing a 67-year-old female patient with symptoms typically associated with B12 deficiency—she had difficulty speaking, tremors and ataxia. Blood tests showed no B12 deficiency. . . . The team conducted a spinal tap to analyze the patients’ cerebral spinal fluid. What came back was a surprise—the patient had almost no B12 in the fluid that bathes the brain and central nervous system, suggesting something was preventing it from crossing the blood brain barrier.”

NBC’S KELLY O’DONNELL GOES FULL CRINGE: Watch: WH Journo Rushes to Biden’s Defense After Reporter Wonders Aloud If He’s Currently Awake.

Just NBC the sycophancy! ‘That’s Inappropriate’: KJP, WHCA President Simultaneously Scold Reporter Who Takes Swipe At Biden’s Cognitive State.

Newsmax White House correspondent James Rosen interjected during O’Donnell’s questioning to ponder whether the president is even “awake” to ensure the press he is remaining in the 2024 race. The White House is asserting that Biden is remaining in the race following his lacking debate performance which has raised questions about his ability to serve a second term.

“You’re saying he’s absolutely running,” O’Donnell said during Wednesday’s press briefing.

“Well, he’s saying that and I’m sharing with you his view,” Jean-Pierre said.

“And we would invite the president to come here and tell us that directly,” O’Donnell responded.

“Noted, noted Kelly,” the press secretary said.

“If he’s awake,” Rosen chimed in.

“That’s inappropriate,” O’Donnell replied.

“As you heard from your colleague, the president of the WHCA, that’s inappropriate,” the press secretary said.

Former Daily Caller White House correspondent Saagar Enjeti noted the press corps “encouraged” former CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta “to scream like a banshee” during the briefings held by former President Donald Trump’s communications team. Acosta temporarily got his press pass revoked by the Trump administration after getting into a heated spat with the then-president and refusing to return his microphone to an intern in the room.

Jean-Pierre snapped at Rosen during Tuesday’s briefing as he shouted out whether Biden is “disabled.” The press secretary accused him of “inappropriate” behavior and did not call on him afterward.

The press secretary insisted the president suffered from a cold during the debate and has the willpower to pull through important events. The campaign and the White House never disclosed an alleged illness before the debate.

Biden’s aides have reportedly shielded the president from the public to hide his mental state, Axios reported. Many aides in the White House were also shocked by what they saw at the debate, having been kept at a distance from the president throughout his first term.

As Roger Kimball writes, “The United States cannot afford a 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. president.” But the DNC-MSM are determined to get this administration through its current modified limited hangout while they all try to work out what they’re going to do next.

MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Oh, You Naughty First Amendment. “Since my managing editor won’t let me reply to Wu with any of Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on television — even though all seven would be appropriate and, I promise you, artfully arranged — I’ll have to resort to reasoned analysis.”

THE EV BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Our Fisker Ocean Just Arrived For a Yearlong Test. Then Its Maker Went Bankrupt. “Hanging above all other questions, though, is what happens now that the company is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Will services be interrupted? Will features stop working? Will we be able to get it serviced if we need to, and what will that process look like? We don’t know the answers to any of these questions. We’ve never had a company fall into bankruptcy during a long-term evaluation, but we’ll share whatever happens with you.”

LOL, JEN RUBIN:

In making historical references, it’s helpful to know some actual history.

SOMETIMES IT HELPS TO BE THE CRAZIEST GUY IN THE ROOM: Wesley Hunt reflects on Trump threat to Taliban leaders: ‘My favorite President Trump story.’

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) argued former President Donald Trump was able to keep the United States safe from its enemies, recounting his “favorite” story of Trump when he negotiated with Taliban leaders.

Hunt explained how Trump wanted “a conditions-based withdrawal” of U.S. troops from Afghanistan when he and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were negotiating with Taliban leaders. During these negotiations, Trump told Taliban leaders that he would kill them “if you harm a hair on a single American,” prompting the translator present with them to appear stunned.

“And Trump goes, ‘Tell him. Just tell him what I said!’” Hunt said on The Sage Steele Show. “Reached into his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban’s home, and handed it to him, got up, and walked out the room.”

QUEST REACHES END: Meta to kill off one of its most beloved devices — as annoyed fans beg Mark Zuckerberg to support hardware for longer.

Meta fans have been left outraged as the company announces plans to end support for one of its biggest products.

In an email sent to customers, the tech giant said it would no longer provide software updates for the original Meta Quest 1 VR headset – previously called the Oculus Quest.

Released in 2019, the headset was one of the first to offer head tracking and six degrees of motion – but will now be phased out of Meta’s growing VR line-up.

Die-hard fans will still be able to play and download apps so long as developers continue to support them, but Meta warns there could be severe security consequences.

And on social media, outraged customers have begged Mark Zuckerberg to rethink the decision, which comes into effect at the end of August.

As I wrote in 2022, the iPad was inspired by a prop in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The flip phone by the Star Trek communicator. But apparently the world isn’t ready to move into a clunky impersonation of Star Trek’s holodecks just yet.

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: New Columbia administrator texts show deans discussing Jewish student ‘privilege’ and ‘$$$$,’ and bashing Hillel leader as a ‘problem.’

Columbia University administrators said Jewish students occupied a “place of privilege,” called a Hillel official a “problem” and wrote “Amazing what $$$$ can do,” during a panel on Jewish campus life in May, newly released text messages showed.

Columbia had already suspended three of the four administrators involved after photos of some of the texts were first published last month. Now, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, which is investigating antisemitism at Columbia and other campuses, has obtained and released the full text message exchanges.

While elements of the text messages have been previously reported, the full exchanges show the university officials downplaying students’ concerns about antisemitism, bashing the head of the school’s Hillel and suggesting that Jewish students received attention because of money.

The conversations were conducted while the administrators were attending a May 31 panel discussion titled “Jewish Life on Campus: Past, Present, and Future.”

Why are Democratic Party monopoly organizations such cesspits of antisemitism?
