• Israel has an ingenious plan to clear the tunnels under Gaza. After securing some of the entrances, the plan calls for setting up high volume sound systems and beginning non-stop broadcasts of Kamala Harris’ cackle. Some are denouncing the tactic as torture.

• Greta Thunberg has taken the side of Hamas and the Palestinians. They must be strong advocates for climate change.

• Since Jim Jordan was summarily ousted from the running for Speaker, ten additional Republican representatives have thrown their hats in the ring. Maybe if the House can stretch this out for 20 more weeks all Republican representatives will have had a chance to declare their candidacies.

• Hey Joe! Don’t you wonder if the hostages are enjoying a weekend at the beach?

• Biden is really getting serious now! He’s added a third “don’t” to his warning to others contemplating their possible involvement in the war between Hamas and Israel.

• Senator Fetterman says we aren’t sending the best and brightest to DC. President Biden defensively questioned, “Is it that obvious?”

• NOW THE MULLAHS ARE REALLY MAD!! Biden has failed to give them the credit they deserve for the Hamas atrocities in Israel.

• So what about these White House dogs? Snarling, bearing their teeth, and far to often drawing blood from sun-glass wearing guardians of the Oval Office. Well, pooch lovers know that canines will often take on the demeanor of their owners. Huh, it would seem that Major’s and Commander’s behaviors fit their master to a tee.

• So we’re all very familiar with the meaning of the word “lid”, right? Of course, it’s the removable top of a container. And if you’re British, it’s slang for a person’s cap. WRONG! It’s now the initiation of a game of hide and seek between our President and the media. The game signals a departure from the President’s normal duties and almost always starts before noon on any given day. Some people may go so far as to define it as Presidential paid-time-off.

• This war in Israel could escalate prompting us to want to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. But wait,…, it’s empty.

• Hillary calls a large faction of people on the Right a “cult” and in need of de-programming. Funny, at her age she still doesn’t know the Right from the Left.

• Karine Jean-Pierre’s statement regarding the Administration’s reversal on the border wall: “We are complying with the law because if we did not comply with the law we would be in noncompliance. This is an Administration that always complies with the law because there are laws that require us to comply. To not comply with the law would be in stark contrast to the example our President has set. He has never violated the law in his entire life; and among other things, attributes that to being a devout Catholic, which requires him to follow the laws of his religion, and by inference, the laws of the country. The president is proud of the fact that the name Biden is synonymous with following the law. And that’s the truth because the law requires me to tell you the truth.”

• Safe to say Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy aren’t teeing off at 10:00 this morning?

• It must be a San Francisco thing. Nancy Pelosi is now “homeless” as she’s tossed out of her plush Capital office.

• The first thing kids are taught in preschool is not to pull the red lever on the wall unless there’s a fire. I guess Representative Bowman was absent that day.

• Don’t be surprised if Senator Menendez soon declares his candidacy for president, since by the Biden standard, he appears to be fully qualified. The current indictment against him confirms that he is able to lie and take bribes with the best of them.

• Bill and Hillary’s bank accounts must be running low. The Clinton Global Initiative has announced that they will be seeking more commitments to address climate change, health care issues, gender-based violence, and the war in Ukraine.
