#1 – WATCH: John Kennedy Has Tom Cotton Cracking Up While Questioning Pronoun-Obsessed Judicial Nominee — by Teri Christoph
We are all Tom Cotton as this point, having ourselves a good laugh at the Democrats as the vise tightens around them. Not only are they in political exile, they’ve yet to realize that one of the messages voters sent them last week was a total rejections of the pronoun garbage pushed by radicals like Judge Kasubhai. He’ll probably get approved as a last gasp by Senate Democrats, but his brand of nonsense “justice” is quickly being rejected by the American electorate.
Democrats will be busy these next several weeks trying to push these leftist judges onto the bench, and you can be sure there will be more epic John Kennedy moments coming up.
#2 – If Looks Could Kill! Jill Biden Freezes Kamala Harris at Veterans Day Event — by Ward Clark
Look, it’s hard to blame Jill Biden for being peeved. She stood by her befuddled, confused, clearly declining husband for four years in the White House. She’s clearly enjoying the trappings of power and would have loved to have held on to them for another few years – although it’s unlikely in the extreme that old Joe would have lasted four more years, even if he had managed to recover from his disastrous debate performance to somehow beat Trump. And despite what the legacy media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have to say, there’s clearly no love lost between the First Lady and the Vice President.
Do you know what the great thing about all this is?
Come January, they’ll all be gone. Out of the White House, out of the vice presidential quarters, gone from the presidency and vice presidency, gone from government, gone from screwing up the economy and our lives. They can squabble among themselves all they like; it’s a small matter to the rest of us anymore.

#3 – Shocking Video Shows Biden Staggering Through Sand, Almost Faceplanting—Jill Does Nothing to Help — by Bob Hoge
It’s frankly difficult to watch, and it’s astonishing that A) his handlers put him in this situation and B) that no one thought to get their butts over there and help him before he injured himself. I’m no fan of the man, but it’s still disturbing to see a mentally and physically impaired person left unaided and unattended.
Journalists covering the scene were reportedly flabbergasted:
Biden nearly faceplanted as he shuffled nervously over the hazardous terrain and appeared to nearly lose his footing completely, while his wife remained surefooted.
Reporters near by who recorded the scene could be heard gasping as he stumbled down the sands, seemingly anticipating that he was going to fall.
Naturally, the internet was not kind.
#4 – Former DNC Official Proposes Plan to Install Kamala Harris As President, Leaves CNN Panel Floored — by Rusty Weiss
CNN contributor Scott Jennings, often the lone voice of reason in any segment on the network, let out a “Whoa!”
Not surprising. What was surprising is that Dana Bash couldn’t even seem to get a grasp on what Simmons was saying, adding, “Wow.”
Simmons, undeterred by the resistance, fleshed out his argument.
“It would absolve her of being able to – from having to oversee the January 6 transition, right, of her own defeat,” he explained. “And it would make sure that – it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public want to see is a time – this is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.”

#5 – Court Vaporizes 50 Years of Environmental Law, Leaving Trump’s EPA to Build on the Ashes — by streiff
The court goes on to detail the shenanigans by which an advisory body with no regulatory authority was able to write environmental regulations for the entire United States for nearly a half-century just because it decided it could.
Making the case even more awesome is that it was set off by enviro-wackos suing the FAA for allowing sightseeing flights near some national parks. The enviros claimed the FAA used the wrong standard established by the CEQ to permit the flight. They ended up being right in a backhanded kind of way.
This decision throws the entire environmental regulation scheme governing the federal government into chaos. I suspect that many of the CEQs regulations will be reissued by other agencies, but after Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (see The Supreme Court Firebombs the Administrative State and Tells Congress to Get Off Its Butt and Work) that slew the medusa called “Chevron deference,” the survival of those replacement regulations is not assured.
