I am so glad I got the skinny on COVID, especially the big news that no one ever died until COVID came about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uese-6Xln7o Preview Open

I was promised an Apocalypse. Destruction would abound. The economy shut down, there would be death in the streets. Hospitals everywhere would struggle to manage the cases of the disease; beds would line the halls and cots would be placed under tents in the streets. Doctors would fall ill, nurses would succumb to the virus. […]

Princeton & Racism, Mail-In Vote Loopholes, Biden’s Fracking Doublespeak

September 18, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they chronicle how Princeton University’s self-flagellation over systemic racism launched a federal investigation into whether they should no longer qualify for taxpayer dollars. They also cringe as two swing states (and, yes, Nevada is one of them) create mail-in voting loopholes that erode confidence in the system. And they hammer Joe Biden for claiming to be for and against fracking in the same answer.

Young Voter Surprises, Covering Up COVID Data, Kerry’s Colossal Blunder

September 17, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they dig into new polling numbers showing millennial and Gen Z voters very unenthusiastic about Joe Biden. They also react to Nashville officials covering up information showing very few COVID transmissions in bars and conspiring to make sure the public did not know. And they enjoy spiking the football on John Kerry by looking back to his 2016 pronouncement that there would never be Israeli-Arab peace outside of a peace deal involving the Palestinians.

A Strong, Intelligent Woman

Ben Shapiro commented on a Twitter post from a woman who decided that hysterically screaming obscenities was a good thing to share with everyone. Someone purporting to be a doctor apparently thinks that hysterically screaming obscenities is the definition of strength and intelligence:

More Middle East Stability? China’s COVID Whistleblower? Bungled Michigan Ballots

September 16, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the Abraham Accords and hope President Trump is right that several other Arab nations may soon normalize relations with Israel as well. They also discuss the claims of a possible Chinese whistleblower who claims she has evidence that COVID-19 came from a lab rather than a wet market and the Chinese Communist Party has been covering its tracks ever since. Jim explains why she ought to release whatever she has as soon as possible. And as the “experts” keep insisting states are totally prepared for massive mail-in voting, they groan as Michigan can’t even get the names in the presidential race right on the ballot.

Big COVID Breakthrough, Anti-Vax Democrats, Kamala’s Obvious Ambition

September 15, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer what appears to be a major antibody discovery from the University of Pittsburgh that could be a huge asset in the fight against COVID. They also spotlight the “party of science” figures like Kamala Harris and North Carolina U.S. Senate hopeful Cal Cunningham saying they would not trust a COVID vaccine announced prior to the election. And they have fun with Kamala promising what would happen in a “Harris administration” before suddenly remembering she’s not actually the nominee.

Major Middle East Progress, What Biden Won’t Say, Libs & Wildfires

September 14, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the normalization of relations between Israel and Bahrain and indications that Saudi Arabia may soon follow suit. They also discuss the premeditated shootings of two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies on Saturday and why Joe Biden condemns the shooting but not the people blocking the ambulances from reaching the hospitals and chanting that they hoped the deputies died. And Jim explains why the wildfires in the western U.S. are exposing the extreme policies of some Democrats and environmental activists.

Remembering 9/11, Voter Registration Surge, Mueller Team Malfeasance, Teleprompter Tantrum

September 11, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg for a special 9/11 anniversary edition of the podcast. They both share their indelible memories of that horrific day and why it is vital for us to remember the evil perpetrated against us and how the very best of America rose to the occasion. Then they dive into the three martinis of the day, starting with a GOP voter registration surge in Pennsylvania. They also fume as 31 phones connected to the Mueller special counsel team were wiped clean before the Justice Department could examine them. And they react to the Biden campaign spokesman who was outraged that he would be asked if Joe Biden uses a teleprompter during interviews and other events – but never answered the question.

Dem Bashes de Blasio, Trump & Woodward, Trashing America with Your Money

September 10, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they get a kick out of New York Democrat Rep. Max Rose posting a six-second ad just to bash deeply unpopular Mayor Bill de Blasio and hope it means Rep. Rose is feeling nervous. They also wade into the supposedly explosive revelations about President Trump’s coronavirus approach in Bob Woodward’s new book. And they fume as our tax dollars help pay for an event calling for an end to capitalism and even the United States itself.

Hispanics Trending Right, Media Coddling Elusive Biden, Jemele’s Hill to Lie On

September 9, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer numbers in Florida showing Hispanic voters leaning toward President Trump and the GOP much more than four years ago. They also roll their eyes at the media’s fluffy coverage of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Jim explains just how light Biden’s campaign schedule is compared to previous nominees. And in another stellar moment for “The Atlantic,” columnist Jemele Hill publicly to vows to lie about country singer Travis Tritt because he blocked her on Twitter.

Big Labor’s Big Gamble, Kamala’s Fracking Hypocrisy, Gender-Reveal Wildfire

September 8, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three martinis, including one bad one they think could end up being good. They discuss unions planning walkouts from teachers, truckers, government employees and others to demand things like Medicare for all, free rent, and defunding the police – but see tremendous potential for this tactic to backfire spectacularly. They also unload on Kamala Harris for reversing her position on fracking and noting her blatant pandering to Pennsylvania voters in the process. And they vent in reaction to a California wildfire starting from a pyrotechnic explosion at a gender-reveal party.

August Jobs Boom, Atlantic Storm, Biden’s Endless Gaffes

September 4, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the August jobs report showing nearly 1.4 million new jobs and the unemployment rate dropping well below expectations. They also wade into the anonymous allegations in “The Atlantic” that President Trump uttered disparaging comments about our war dead and wounded veterans. And as Joe Biden starts making public appearances, the cringe-inducing moments come with him. Why does Biden never pay a price for comments that might sink other political figures?

NPR & Looting, Cuomo’s Trash Talk, Pelosi Alleges Salon ‘Set-Up’

September 3, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome NPR’s admission that it failed listeners in its favorable interview of a radical author who thinks property ownership is a form of white supremacy, although they wonder why such a person was ever invited onto NPR in the first place. They also roll their eyes as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo warns President Trump he would need an army to return safely to New York City. And they try to figure out why Nancy Pelosi decided to launch a conspiracy theory about her flouting of the San Francisco COVID restrictions instead of just letting the story die.

Well, we finally checked in to our hotel in Rapid City in preparation for the South Dakota Meetup tomorrow. Having driven cross-country to Denver and back a few times, I was always impressed by the flatness of Eastern Colorado and Kansas. Well, South Dakota has eclipsed those two states. Here’s a picture taken from a […]

Kennedy Gets Crushed, Pelosi’s Privilege, Left vs. the Founders

September 2, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Massachusetts voters rejecting the Senate bid of Rep. Joe Kennedy III, who didn’t have a reason to run other than being a Kennedy, and helping dismantle the stupid notion that America has a royal family. They also unload on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for flouting COVID restrictions while constantly lecturing everyone else. And they hammer local D.C. political figures for wanting to “remove, relocate, or contextualize” the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument among other sites – and call out the Washington Post for pretending there was never a call to remove or relocate them.

Back to the Basement, Biden’s Fracking Fiction, Real Cable News?

September 1, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis! First, Jim explains why it’s so weird for Joe Biden to have no public events today and to continue the basement campaign just two months before the election. They also explain why Biden’s recent insistence that he will not ban fracking runs contrary to his repeated promises during the primary season to stop fracking and even shut down fossil fuels entirely. And they welcome a new cable news channel that claims to be focused on facts and not opinion but they also explain the challenges of keeping that promise.

“It’s good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.” – Mark Twain.

The gentle art of good-natured humour in a nutshell. Graceful, cheerful, and honest. It’s also a line that speaks to me. It says: Honesty in life makes life worth living. And always try to keep a light heart and hold on to your sense of humour – they’re the only things keeping you afloat sometimes.

Defunding Rioters, Biden Blames Trump, Wheeler’s Weakness

August 31, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they focus on the mayhem continuing in the streets of American cities. They’re very bullish on the idea of Indiana Rep. Jim Banks to end unemployment benefits for anyone convicted of committing a federal offense at a protest. They also scratch their heads as Joe Biden and other Democrats condemn President Trump for wanting to use federal power to stop the rioting while also trying to blame Trump for the destruction in the first place. And they examine the pathetic case of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who grovels to the radicals more and more as they treat him worse and worse.
