THE SKUNK SHUTDOWN DEMS ARE STUCK WITH: Capitol Hill Democrats insist millions of Americans will lose health insurance if those “temporary” Obamacare Pandemic tax credit subsidies aren’t made permanent; otherwise, they will keep the government shutdown.
But, as even The Washington Post editorial board has come to see, the fundamental problem is not the Obamacare subsidies but Obamacare itself, which, as I detail this morning on The Washington Stand, has been a catastrophe for American healthcare.

JOHN LUCAS: What is the true story behind why the NJ gubernatorial candidate was prohibited from participating in the graduation ceremony for her Naval Academy class? “Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat congresswoman and candidate for the New Jersey governorship, is under fire for serious ethical lapses. One of those is her still unexplained but suspicious involvement in a widespread cheating scandal at the Naval Academy. She still refuses to provide a full public accounting, by stonewalling any release of USNA’s disciplinary records that would show the nature and extent of both her and her husband’s involvement in the cheating scandal.”

I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have two or three anon handles, plus a gaming group he relaxes with on Tuesday evenings and where he’s known as HotSoup or something and none of the people he games with and who are as close to him as family have any idea he’s the VP of the USA. I’d be really shocked if this weren’t true. It’s how their generation lives.

OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.
CRAZY BERNIE: Bernie Sanders Celebrates Release of Palestinian Murderers, Rapists, and Terrorists.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) welcomed Israel’s release of some 2,000 Palestinian murderers, rapists, and terrorists, adding that Monday’s exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners presents an opportunity for the United States to end its military alliance with the Jewish state.
Sanders, who spent the past two years pressuring Israel to accept a ceasefire deal, said he is encouraged by “the long-overdue release” of Israel’s 20 living hostages alongside “the freeing of almost 2,000 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.”
Sanders failed to mention that this group includes “hundreds of terror convicts serving life terms,” according to the Times of Israel. One Gaza resident Israel released as part of the deal “raped and murdered a 13-year-old boy,” while dozens of others are “responsible for a series of suicide bombings and other attacks.” Another Palestinian set free on Monday was in jail for lynching two Jews.
In February of 2020, “Bernie Sanders says Trump’s pardons are part of a ‘broken and racist’ system,” and likely has even stronger views about Trump’s pardoning of the January 6th political prisoners. But when it comes to the release of Palestinian terrorists, Joe’s perfectly happy to let the Bolshevism hit the fan.
