Success in Classrooms

Stephen Colbert’s fans have little interest in the truth, so the “Late Show” host avoids it at all costs. Inflation? The border? Hamas? Crime? Oct. 7? Name the hot-button topic, and Colbert will spin it to benefit Team Biden. He, like Jimmy Kimmel, literally fundraises for the elderly president. What Colbert did last week on behalf of the 81-year-old should have come with a six-figure DNC check. This kind of spin requires a Herculean effort, and Colbert gave it his comic all. Bottom of Form The subject? The Wall Street Journal’s shocking report detailing just how far President Biden’s age has impacted his mental state. We’ve seen this before, of course. The embarrassing gaffes. The meandering public appearances. The sudden squats that fuel comparisons to wee ones.   Anyone with a toddler recognizes that Biden is pooping his pants.pic.twitter.com/u12bIEdPBJ — Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) June 7, 2024   Here’s The New York Post summarizing some of the WSJ details. Others in attendance recalled that it took Biden about 10 minutes from when he entered the room to get the meeting started, and when he did, he used note cards to make obvious points that everyone was already in agreement with and participants could barely hear him. In a February follow-up with House Speaker Mike Johnson, the Louisiana Republican expressed his concern to the president over the administration’s liquid natural gas export policy — fearing it was benefiting Russia. Biden didn’t seem to know the policy was actually in effect and falsely claimed it was “only a study,” according to the report…. Biden would “ramble” and mumble, and his ability to command the room varied from day to day during tense negotiations over raising the debt ceiling last May, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) recalled. Had the report arrived out of the blue it would be stunning. It didn’t. The Biden White House is furiously attempting to stop the audio from Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur from going public months before Election Day. We just read a startling Biden interview with Time Magazine which featured more confused comments. President Biden forgot key facts about the economy, foreign policy and his time in public office during a sit-down interview with Time magazine last month — even mixing up Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He even threatened to fight the Time’s journalist at one point in the exchange.   Senile Biden's Interview With TIME Goes Way Off the Rails, He Even Challenges the Reporter to a Fighthttps://t.co/dgKficb7Q3 — RedState (@RedState) June 4, 2024   Biden ducks most press interviews these days, even softball-level chats tied to the Super Bowl. Instead, he went on “The Howard Stern Show” for a fawning Q&A. His lying is now legendary, witness him claiming he belongs to any nationality to appease the crowd du jour.   Biden lies about his background so often and compulsively that I sometimes wonder if he even knows what’s true anymore…pic.twitter.com/XC54TkkVWH — AG (@AGHamilton29) April 7, 2024   Some 81-year-olds retain much of their vim and vigor. Not Biden. Something is seriously wrong with the leader of the free world. It’s not a partisan matter. And the press is (mostly) covering it up. So, too, are Democrats eager to drag Biden over the finish line a second and final time. Like Colbert. The comedian covered the blistering WSJ report and flat-out misled his audience. They like that. Still, the people watching it at home and via YouTube were likely less pleased. They know the best political satire is served with a serious helping of the truth.     “A reputable newspaper like The Wall Street Journal would never run a headline like, ‘Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping,’ unless they had the receipts,” Colbert said, setting up the spin. Colbert then cherry-picked quotes from the report, leaving the damning bits out to protect His Precious. For example, he extensively riffed on the fact that Biden relied on notes during some of his important meetings, a potentially innocent scenario without the full, brutal context. The Wall Street Journal delivered said context. Not Colbert. Later, he read a portion of the story sharing how Biden would speak softly at times and often paused before talking. Why, that could be the sign of a leader using his voice for emphasis and taking time to collect his thoughts. Except we know the fuller meaning behind the WSJ article. He left it out for comic effect, and the audience cheered in response. We call that … clapter. Watch the full clip to grasp just how far he stretches the truth for his master. Colbert owes the WSJ reporters behind that story an apology. He’ll never utter one, though. Heck, he spent three years telling his audience Donald Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. We’re still waiting for a mea culpa on that front.

The result of the first major abortion case to be brought to the Supreme Court since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022 has disheartened many in the pro-life movement. The case, FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, was an organization of physicians challenging the FDA’s loosened regulations on the abortion pill — which women can now get by mail without an in-person doctor’s office visit. The Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit. “I do know enough about law to be dangerous,” Sara Gonzales comments, noting that the Supreme Court’s decision was “more about whether or not this group even had the standing to sue, rather than all of the nuts and bolts of it.” The opinion was written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and according to his opinion the court found that the plaintiffs had not met the threshold for a lawsuit in the first place. One of the reasons was that they hadn’t proved that the FDA’s relaxed regulatory requirements could result in injury. “So they’re not saying ‘we don’t understand the problem that you have with this,'" Gonzales explains. “This is why it was unanimous, because the decision wasn’t about the morality of it; it was of course just about the technicality.” However, Gonzales believes the abortion pill shouldn’t be so available. “What they are doing, particularly with this drug, is in my opinion criminal,” Gonzales says. “If you go by their own label, go by the FDA’s own label, okay, roughly one in 25 women who take these chemical abortion drugs have to end up going to the emergency room, and that is of course assuming that they don’t bleed out on the bathroom floor first.” “The FDA under the direction of the Biden-Harris regime is allowing these women to take these high-risk drugs without being under care of a doctor, without even physically going in to a doctor,” she continues, relating it to the back-alley coat-hanger abortions the left has threatened. “What is so different about this?” she asks.

President Joe Biden, in his speech at the Everytown for Gun Safety's annual training conference, did what he always does any time he steps on the stage: made a complete fool of himself. Pat Gray and the “Unleashed” team unpack the speech — from the butchered Thomas Jefferson quote to the wildly inaccurate assertion that Biden was once a constitutional professor (plus every absurdity in between). “There is so much here in 2 minutes and 11 seconds,” sighs Pat, playing the clip. At one point during his speech, Biden referenced a “school shooting in Iowa that killed a student and a teacher.” “My predecessor was asked about it,” Biden stated, referencing Trump. “He said, ‘You have to get over it.”’ “That’s way out of context,” criticizes Pat. “More children are killed in America by guns than cancer and car accidents combined,” Biden then stated. “You have to really bend over backwards to try to make that stat work,” says Pat, noting that “you have to include suicides and accidental gun deaths” to justify those numbers. In one of his worst moments, Biden claimed that after he was vice president, he “became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania” where he “taught a constitutional law class.” “No, no you didn’t,” corrects Pat. “It's been fact-checked by all the liberal agencies; everybody has said it's not true, it didn't happen, and he keeps saying it anyway.” Biden then went on to horribly butcher the famous line from Thomas Jefferson’s letter to William Stephens Smith in which he stated, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” But Biden’s version was: “the blood of liberty.” That’s it. “I’ve never heard that phrase,” says Pat. “He wasn’t even close.” To hear more of Biden’s bumbling speech and Pat’s commentary, watch the clip below.

Major League Baseball has announced that it is disciplining umpire Pat Hoberg for alleged unspecified violations of the league's gambling policy. Almost all of the details regarding the suspension - including the length of the suspension and the nature of the violation - remain shrouded in mystery. Hoberg has denied betting on baseball and is appealing the suspension.In a statement, MLB said, "During this year's Spring Training, Major League Baseball commenced an investigation regarding a potential violation of MLB's sports betting policies by Umpire Pat Hoberg. Mr. Hoberg was removed from the field during the pendency of that investigation. While MLB's investigation did not find any evidence that games worked by Mr. Hoberg were compromised or manipulated in any way, MLB determined that discipline was warranted. Mr. Hoberg has chosen to appeal that determination. Therefore, we cannot comment further until the appeal process is concluded."Hoberg did not return requests for comment to multiple media outlets, but he did issue a statement in response to MLB's statement. "I am appealing Major League Baseball's determination that I should be disciplined for violating the sports betting policies. While that appeal is pending, it would not be appropriate to discuss the case. That said, I have devoted my adult life to the profession of umpiring, and the integrity of baseball is of the utmost importance to me. I look forward to the appeal process, and I am grateful that the Major League Baseball Umpires Association is supporting me in the appeal."Hoberg is widely regarded as one of the best ball-strike calling umpires in the game, being consistently rated near the top in accuracy ratings by Umpire Scorecards and other independent internet services that grade umpire accuracy. The suspension comes as baseball and other sports continue to wrestle with the expansion of legalized sports gambling in the United States. Baseball's most famous player, Shohei Ohtani, was implicated in a major gambling scandal earlier this year when millions of dollars was transferred from his accounts to cover gambling debts placed with an unlicensed bookie. The FBI, MLB, and Ohtani have all stated that they believe this action was done without Ohtani's knowledge by Ohtani's interpreter, who has pled guilty to federal charges in connection with the incident. The MLB also banned Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano for life after an investigation allegedly revealed that Marcano had bet on Pirates games while playing with the team. Earlier this year, Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter was banned for allegedly manipulating games at the behest of gamblers.

The Philips Hue Twilight lamp. | Image: Smartlights.de Philips Hue’s next smart bedside lamp will reportedly be called the “Twilight.” The lamp will feature two buttons on top for power, scene selection, and sleep automation, and it also has LEDs in the back that will feature a sunrise or sunset effect, according to HueBlog.com. The rear LED and main light, like the Hue Dymera’s top and bottom lights, will apparently be individually controllable, and when triggering its sleep automation, the site says it will simulate a sunset before turning off. It’s not clear yet when — or for how much — Philips will release the Twilight. Image: HueBlog.com HueBlog published leaked images earlier this week that show the lamp’s odd, fixed lampshade. It will apparently come in black or... Continue reading…
