Truly funny the way he turns to the cameras, smiles and waves as if nothing was happening. Even better than when he made that furtive move on the train with Starmer and Merz to hide the cocaine. And here we thought Zelensky was the comedian.

Come on, man! Who hasn't been smacked by their Mum for misbehaving in public?
[Red State] Last Wednesday, we reported on how fresh revelations surrounding the level of control convicted felon Hunter Biden had over his father, Joe Biden, during the last two years of the elder Biden's presidency had brought renewed attention to the infamous White House cocaine incident from the summer of 2023.
Information shared about the just-released Biden exposé "Original Sin" noted that Hunter Biden "was driving the decision-making for the family" in the final two years of his dad's presidency and "was almost like a chief of staff," according to the book's co-author, CNN's Jake Tapper.
Though there was widespread speculation that the cocaine said to be found "in a work area in the West Wing" on July 2, 2023 likely belonged to Hunter Biden, who has a well-documented history of cocaine addiction, the Secret Service closed their short-lived investigation into the matter on grounds that "Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered."
Dan Bongino, the bureau's deputy director and former conservative talk show host, announced the probes in an X post on May 26. The decision to "re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention" to these cases was made together with FBI Director Kash Patel.
"Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest," Bongino wrote.
[NYPOST] A key House Democrat on Sunday admitted there is ''one little portion'' of the GOP's megabill that he likes — the raising of the state and local tax deduction (SALT) cap from $10,000 to $40,000.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, voted against the proposed One Big Beautiful Bill Act alongside the rest of his party last week — but is acknowledging that his constituents would get a boost from its SALT change.
''That one little portion is going to be good for my constituents,'' Himes told CBS' ''Face the Nation.''
Republicans had capped the SALT deduction at $10,000 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, disproportionately impacting blue states with high state and local taxes.
The new bill would raise the SALT cap to $40,000 for households making $500,000 or less in annual income, amid fierce lobbying from blue-state Republicans.

[NYPOST] JB Pritzker made headlines when he called for ''mass protests'' against the Trump administration. There's no question, the second-term governor of Illinois is positioning himself for a presidential run, as he crisscrosses the country lauding his time serving the citizens of the Prairie State.
But what he's not telling the crowd about Illinois is precisely what Americans need to know most.
Americans are more worried today about the nation's financial problems than they've been in a decade. A recent Gallup poll found that 81% of Americans are personally concerned a ''great deal'' or ''fair amount'' about federal spending and the federal deficit.
A federal government run like the state of Illinois would do little to quell their fears. Today, Illinois has more than $200 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, with the state's government pension systems hovering around 50% funded. (By comparison, even the most conservative estimates place New York state's pension fund at 99% funded.) It's bad news for pensioners, who live with the uncertainty of not knowing if a retirement check from the state could bounce. It's perhaps even worse news for Illinois taxpayers, who are on the hook for such enormous liabilities.

Oh please ...our finances are the least of Pritzker's sins. The man's an autocrat who rules with an iron fist and the State Legislature is a one-party factory of left-wing craziness. Taxes, education, gun laws, immigration, and jurisprudence are all a mess here. He's styles himself as the head of an independent country ...

Cook county is "an independent country," has been for decades.

I still remember hearing on the radio in the middle 1960s - 'Is it true you gave the City's insurance contract to your son's firm, Mayor Daley?'
"Yes, what's wrong with that?"

So we trade a senile president for one who is morbidly obese?

Gosh, that sounds a lot like California.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
