Schools Are Opening, Leaving Afghanistan, Biden Team’s Thin Skin

01
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome steady progress in reopening schools, as nearly half of U.S. school districts are now open for in-person learning. While understanding the desire to exit Afghanistan, they’re wondering whether President Biden has learned anything from his botching of the U.S. departure from Iraq that helped trigger the rise of ISIS. And the short fuse of the Biden administration is on display again after left-leaning probability expert Nate Silver criticizes the decision to pause the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Harry Reid Is Right, The J&J Vaccine Pause, Another Minnesota Mess

83
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they update the “incident” at the Natanz nuclear site and enjoy learning how it was much more devastating than first reported. Then they feel very weird agreeing with former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid but believe he right to warn the Democrats against court packing. They discuss the significance of the FDA and CDC calling for a pause in administering the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine. And they discuss the inexplicable error of a Minnesota police officer in a recent shooting death there but also hammer Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for suggesting this case is further proof that we need to abolish police and incarceration.

Iran’s Nuclear ‘Incident,’ Biden’s Inflation Arrogance, Kamala Ignores the Border

42
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome news of a “blackout: at the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran, and whether Israel is behind it or not, they’re glad to see it. They also unload on President Biden who is unconcerned about inflation following his massive spending binge because someone else will likely be in office when it gets really bad. They also call out Vice President Harris for apparently doing nothing about the border crisis since she was put in charge of it and the media who refuse to demand answers. Finally, they offer their well wishes to Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw in the wake of concerning medical news.

I was looking for some Martin Mull stuff on YouTube – I’ve liked his material for a long time, since even before his TV shows “Fernwood 2Night” and then “America 2Night” and happened across an old Dick Clark show called “The Funniest Joke I Ever Heard.”  The Martin Mull one is probably my favorite, no […]

…I’d outlaw a few things:

–Those head-rattling 150-decibel buzzers that signal when your dryer load is finished. I’d specify in my law that if the signal is turned on, it will notify you with a pleasant “ding” sound. Enough to get your attention when you’re in the next room, but not so loud that it sends you springing from your chair in the middle of a good nap.

The guy had timing down perfectly. RIP #RIP Prince PhilipHe told @PressClubDC 5/18/1990: "Thank you for very good lunch. Nostalgic it's nearly 40 years since first time I came to Washington…I came with Queen in President Truman's day…I'm not always as tactless as people make out."

Michigan’s COVID Relapse, Biden’s Court Commission, Font Is Now Racist

00
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis. First, they look at Michigan’s terrible COVID numbers and discuss why Gov. Whitmer is asking but not mandating that high schools suspend sports and in-person classes. They also groan as President Biden sets up his special commission to consider changes to the Supreme Court, including the number of justices and how long they should be able to serve. And they’re glad to see all the real problems in the world must be solved since CNN is busy declaring Asian font to be racist.

The picture below was making the rounds on Twitter a couple weeks ago, with people being asked what table they’d prefer to sit at.  I would not presume to make that decision for anyone, but here’s how I imagine each table would turn out.  Two caveats: I assume that (unlike an actual middle school cafeteria) […]
