    UN Confirms Hamas Rapes, Biden Flew Illegals Into U.S., Saving Democracy By Strangling It

    UN Confirms Hamas Rapes, Biden Flew Illegals Into U.S., Saving Democracy By Strangling It
    After a lovely day of all good martinis, there's plenty of bad and crazy for Jim and Greg today. And even the good martini is not pleasant.

    First, the welcome the United Nations taking five months to confirm what we all saw on October 7th last year - that Hamas used rape and other sexual assault as weapons of war. However, the UN also concluded that Hamas is still likely using these heinous tactics against the hostages.

    Next, a two-part bad martini highlighting President Biden's dereliction at the border and new evidence that his administration deliberately and actively flew illegals into the country. They dissect a Daily Mail report detailing how the administration admits, through a Freedom of Information request, that it flew hundreds of thousands of people (with no legal right to enter our nation) to 43 different airports in the U.S. during 2023 alone.

    But they also point out a recent segment on "60 Minutes," in which former Customs and Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz says he never had a conversation with President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris during his two years on the job from 2021-2023.

    Finally, Jim and Greg unload on figures at the Lincoln Project and The Bulwark for their unhinged rhetoric aimed at No Labels, the group looking for a third party candidate to run for president this year. Reporting from Byron York quotes Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project saying No Labels needed to be "burned to the (expletive deleted) ground politically." Jonathan Last of The Bulwark publicly said anyone affiliated with No Labels should "have their lives ruined," including losing their jobs and much more.

    SCOTUS Rules Trump Stays on Ballot, Univ. of Florida Kills DEI, Oregon Backtracks on Hard Drugs

    SCOTUS Rules Trump Stays on Ballot, Univ. of Florida Kills DEI, Oregon Backtracks on Hard Drugs
    It's nothing but good martinis for Jim and Greg on Monday's 3 Martini Lunch!

    First, Jim declares vindication after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Donald Trump must be allowed on the Colorado GOP primary ballot after that state's supreme court kicked him off based on the insurrection clause of Section 3 in the 14th Amendment. Jim says without a conviction or even an indictment for insurrection, taking such action against Trump was a very weak legal position.

    Next, they welcome the University of Florida eliminating DEI ("Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion") programs and personnel. It's not only the right move but it also showcases the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis getting this policy through the Florida legislature and University of Florida Pres. Ben Sasse for implementing it.

    Finally, they cheer Oregon for correcting a 2020 referendum that decriminalized personal use amounts of drugs, including hard drugs like meth and heroin. Oregon subsequently fell to 50th in access to drug treatment and witnesses a spike in overdoses. Jim says this is another example of how reality did not turn out anything like the experts insisted it would.

    Biden's Actual Border Beliefs, Herridge Harassed Over Reporting Again, Senate GOP Leader Race Already Starting

    Biden's Actual Border Beliefs, Herridge Harassed Over Reporting Again, Senate GOP Leader Race Already Starting
    Jim and Greg serve up a clarifying good martini plus conventional bad and crazy ones to wind up the week.

    First, they offer a timely reminder of Biden's promises from 2020 on border security, sanctuary cities, and who ought to be deported. The comments explain why we saw the border crisis explode on his watch and suggest his recent get tough approach is only a political maneuver.

    They also cringe as stellar national security reporter Catherine Herridge is ordered to pay fines of $800 per day for refusing to divulge her sources on a story connection a U.S.-based scientist with the Chinese Communist Party.

    Finally, they groan in reaction to the race already beginning to replace Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, even though the conference elections aren't until November, we have no idea how many Republicans will be in the Senate, and how many current ones will still be there.

    McConnell's Last Year as Leader, Newsom's Shady Favoritism, Trump vs. Biden at the Border

    McConnell's Last Year as Leader, Newsom's Shady Favoritism, Trump vs. Biden at the Border
    Join Jim and Greg for three important martinis ranging from the U.S. Senate to the border to cronyism in politics.

    First, they react to Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing this will be his final year as Senate Republican leader. They break down McConnell's record on reshaping the U.S. Supreme Court by pushing through the nominations of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett. They dig into his willingness to be the villain to protect other GOP members, but also the frustration conservatives have with his failure to fight harder for less spending and not being more aggressive on certain policy goals. And, of course, they preview the fight to replace McConnell as leader.

    Then they document the shady exemption to California's new law raising the minimum wage for fast food workers from $16 to $20 per hour for establishments that bake their own bread on site and sell it individually. This seems to be a specific carve out for Gov. Gavin Newsom's friend and donor who owns a bunch of Panera franchises in the state.

    Finally, they assess today's dueling border visits from Biden and Trump, what we can glean by the different areas of the border they are visiting, and why Biden's eagerness to reverse anything Trump did in office is coming back to bite him hardest at the border.

    NATO Allies Reject Troops in Ukraine, Border Crisis & A Small Town, Biden vs. Reality on Ceasefire

    NATO Allies Reject Troops in Ukraine, Border Crisis & A Small Town, Biden vs. Reality on Ceasefire
    Join Jim and Greg for three big new martinis!

    First, they slam French President Emmanuel Macron for publicly refusing to rule out sending troops to Ukraine. But they were glad to see the U.S., Great Britain, and Germany immediately shoot down the notion that such a move was on the table..

    Then, they dig into a Washington Free Beacon story about how the border crisis is overwhelming a small, fairly progressive community in Whitewater, Wisconsin. The city is scrambling for money after services for migrants put it in a $400,000 budget bind. Meanwhile, drug activity and STD's are on the rise. And this is happening in plenty of other communities in this country.

    Finally, they scratch their heads as President Biden told reporters that he thinks an Israel-Hamas ceasefire will be in place this weekend. Yet the Israelis, Hamas, and Qatar all publicly say there hasn't been much progress at all on any of the major issues that need to be addressed before a pause in fighting can happen,

    NYC Mayor Wants Criminal Aliens Deported, No Blame for Sec. Austin Going AWOL, Hijackings & Protests

    NYC Mayor Wants Criminal Aliens Deported, No Blame for Sec. Austin Going AWOL, Hijackings & Protests
    The good martini is back today, so please join Jim and Greg for that plus the usual bad and crazy ones.

    First, they welcome New York City Mayor Eric Adams embracing a blatantly obvious reality and urging the New York City Council to amend its sanctuary city law and allow for illegal aliens who commit felonies to be handed over to ICE and deported.

    They also sigh as a Pentagon report examining the failure of Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin and his staff to inform President Biden and many other relevant personnel for several days when Austin was in the hospital last month determines there should be no reprimands given out because no one intended any harm.

    Finally, in the wake of the U.S. Air Force service member who fatally set himself on fire to protest U.S. and Israeli policy towards Gaza, they marvel at the viral online lament that people aren't allowed to protest, march, or go on hunger strikes (all untrue) which then adds hijacking rioting, and throwing Molotov cocktails to the same list.

    Policy Failures That Facilitated Murder, Ronna's Awkward RNC Exit, Why Haley Would Be a 3rd Party Flop

    Policy Failures That Facilitated Murder, Ronna's Awkward RNC Exit, Why Haley Would Be a 3rd Party Flop
    There are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg are ready to dig into one horrifically bad martini and two crazy ones.

    First, they're incensed over the death of nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of a Venezuelan man who entered the U.S. illegally. In addition, the suspect was arrested for assaulting a child in New York City but officials there released him before Immigration and Customs Enforcement could take him into custody. In addition, rather than focus on either of those policy problems, the mainstream media quickly decided that the real story here is that women face risks when jogging alone and, of course, that Republicans are pouncing on this terrible news.

    Next, they get a kick out of RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel announcing she will resign in the next couple of weeks and trying to make us believe that major party chairs regularly step down in the middle of a presidential election year.

    Finally, there is increasing buzz about former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley running as a third party candidate. But, as Jim points out, her current campaign creates a very big problem if Haley wants to switch gears for November.

    NY Court Blocks Non-Citizen Voting, CBS vs. Herridge, McCaskill Slams NYT for Fact-Checking Biden

    NY Court Blocks Non-Citizen Voting, CBS vs. Herridge, McCaskill Slams NYT for Fact-Checking Biden
    Join Jim and Greg as they return to their usual good, bad, and crazy martinis and head into the weekend!

    First, they welcome the decision from a New York appeals court that New York City's efforts to allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections is unconstitutional. Limiting voting to citizens is a no-brainer but Jim fears this issue will eventually wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Next, they react to the news that CBS not only laid off stellar reporter Catherine Herridge but seized her files, computers, and records, including information about confidential sources. Even SAG-AFTRA is denouncing CBS in very strong terms. Just how big of a threat is this to the freedom of the press?

    Finally, they shake their heads as former Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (who is now an MSNBC contributor) blasts the New York Times for fact-checking President Biden because she thinks they aren't aggressive enough in calling out Donald Trump's falsehoods. This feeds into the maddening view of some on the left who genuinely see the role the media as doing everything it can to help Biden and defeat Trump.

    A 'Final Solution' for Israel? Way Too Many Think RFK Jr. is His Dad, Biden & Commander

    A 'Final Solution' for Israel? Way Too Many Think RFK Jr. is His Dad, Biden & Commander
    Sit back and enjoy all crazy martinis today, as Jim and Greg survey cringeworthy stories from the United Nations to the campaign trail to the White House.

    First, they sigh as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield says from a prepared statement she is pursuing a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and will tirelessly pursue diplomacy "until we reach a final solution." Does no one in her office have a decent grasp on history or have the sense to take that phrasing out of her comments?

    Not to be outdone in the dim bulb department, a poll taken after the pro-Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ad during the Super Bowl reveals that 36 percent of likely voters think that RFK Jr. is actually his father, Robert F. Kennedy, who ran for president in 1968 and was assassinated during that campaign.

    Finally, reports confirm that Pres. Biden's dog, Commander, is responsible for 24 biting incidents - mostly against Secret Service agents - and nearly half of them required medical attention. This is the second Biden dog known for its rampant biting, and while Jim says this isn't the most critical issue facing our nation, it does reveal some disturbing trends.

    Jewish Voters Bailing on Biden? Stubborn Food Inflation, Ezra Klein Tells Joe to Go

    Jewish Voters Bailing on Biden? Stubborn Food Inflation, Ezra Klein Tells Joe to Go
    Join Jim and Greg for three compelling martinis focusing on major 2024 headaches for Joe Biden, with a bit of relevant pop culture thrown in.

    First, they're stunned by a new Siena College poll showing Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by nine points among Jewish voters in New York. Given Biden's 38-point win among Jewish voters four years ago, that would be a major shift in response to Biden's handling of the Hamas terrorist attacks, the ensuing war, and the rampant anti-Semitism expressed on college campuses and beyond.

    Next, they dig into the ever-worsening problem of food inflation. While year-over-year inflation is down from 40-year highs, we're still paying for all of those increases. Plus, restaurant and grocery costs are still rising and having a very real, devastating impact on American families.

    Finally, even lefty Ezra Klein is urging Biden to pack up and head off into retirement. Beyond the question of whether the president can do the job for another four years, Klein says Biden isn't even in shape to campaign this year.
