Friday's Frightful Absurdities: Big, Crazy Sister Is Watching You

Today’s cover headline at the New York Post is perfect:

I wrote more - much, much more - in today’s Campaign Update for subscribers only.

Please subscribe. I don’t ask that often enough, or offer sincere thanks for those who have done so.

Thanks to all of you.

Ok, enough commercials - on with the Absurdities…

Elon Musk’s perfect response of the day:

Asked, and answered.

Man, nobody could’ve predicted this would happen!

Oh, wait…

[Checks notes] "I'm not concerned about recession [Checks notes] but I'm always concerned about recession."

The Hill @thehill

Reporter: "How concerned are you about a recession, given the GDP report today?" President Biden: "I'm not concerned about a recession. I mean, you're always concerned about recession, but the GDP, you know, fell to 1.4%." hill.cm/8VOPbfJ

Holy crap. Stop letting this absolute clown take questions. It’s elder abuse, and it needs to stop.

Credulous corrupt media headline of the day:

What do you suppose tipped them off?

Friday's Misleading Corrupt Media Headline of the Day: I kid you not, the New York Times tweeted the following:

"Breaking News: The U.S. economy shrank in the first quarter, but the numbers may mask the recovery’s resilience."

I have not confirmed it but it seems safe to assume that the "newspaper of record's" next tweet will read:

"The Cincinnati Reds’ 3-16 record and 5.76 team ERA may mask the team's true excellence"

You just cannot make this stuff up, folks. Don't even try.

Poetic Justice Tweet of the day:

Left-Wing Pressure To Cancel Joe Rogan On Spotify Appears To Backfire As Company Releases New Numbers dlvr.it/SPM4vB

Here’s an excerpt from that story at DailyWire:

Spotify did not cave to pressure earlier this year to take action against Rogan over claims that he had spread misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic with comments that he made and with some of the people that he chose to bring onto his show.

“Despite the backlash, Spotify saw its paid memberships increase, and the platform now has 182 million premium subscribers — up from 180 million in the previous quarter and 15% higher year over year,” CNN reported. “Total revenue was up 24% over last year.”

Keep the pressure up, you woke nitwits!

The list of top staff leaving the White House increases by two

hotair.comThe list of top staff leaving the White House increases by twoTime to go?

Here’s an excerpt from that Hotair story:

Two more top-level staffers are leaving the White House. Resignations began in February and as the weeks go by, more are heading for the exits. Up until then it was mostly Kamala’s staff leaving her office in a steady flow. Look for more White House staff to suddenly need more time with the family or secure a more lucrative job in the private sector. November is coming and working in the White House is not going to be so much fun anymore.

The latest to announce resignations but not actually leave yet are deputy White House communications director, Pili Tobar and White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy. Both are said to be leaving “soon.” McCarthy announced her resignation two weeks ago but somehow I missed it. It’s good news for those of us who oppose overregulation of the oil and gas industry for the sake of halting exploration and drilling.

Axios is reporting on both of the resignations. Earlier this week, I wrote about Cedric Richmond, director of the White House office of Public Engagement, being asked to leave the White House and go work with the DNC to try and save incumbent Democrats in the November midterm elections. Good luck with that, Cedric!

Glorious. Absolutely glorious. Have a great weekend.

That is all.
