Democrats were promising that the prime-time TV extravaganza presented by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2020 riot at the Capitol last Thursday would be “must-see TV.”
Apparently, most Americans decided it was “must miss.” The Nielsen ratings for that night are out, and it appears that the audience for the event was smaller than for a Young Sheldon rerun episode that CBS ran in the same time period the previous week.
The audience for the “Capitol Assault Hearings” was about the same size as nightly news broadcasts last week, according to the ratings. Nearly every major news network and the Big Three of CBS, NBC, and ABC covered the hearings.

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) has given the world plenty of examples showing why America should run from socialized medicine, such as soulless, bureaucratic decision-making and long wait times for planned procedures. Now, a shocking new video shows yet another reason: insufficient service for the community, resulting in waits of seven-and-a-half hours and up for emergency room visitors to see a doctor.
A video that was taken in the Harlow A&E (Accident and Emergency) waiting room, part of the Princess Alexandra hospital NHS trust in Essex, UK, has gone viral. Filmed late Monday afternoon, the footage shows a nurse addressing the people waiting in the crowded room.

Call it bad timing or Trump luck, but most people today are talking inflation. This is from Fox News:
The Labor Department said Friday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods, including gasoline, groceries and rents, rose 8.6% in May from a year ago.
Prices jumped 1% in the one-month period from April. Those figures were both higher than the 8.3% headline figure and 0.7% monthly gain forecast by Refinitiv economists.
It marks the fastest pace of Inflation since December 1981.

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden told television host Jimmy Kimmel in an interview that he is considering signing an executive order to protect abortion in the event the United States Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This comes after a leaked draft opinion from the Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization showed the Justices poised to overturn Roe.
“I think if the Court overrules Roe v. Wade and does what its draft –”
“Well, we fear they will,” Kimmel interjected.
“Well, if that occurs, I think we have to, we have to legislate it. We have to make sure we pass legislation making it a law, that is,

No one can say we didn’t warn you that gas prices would go up under Joe Biden.
President Trump predicted it on the campaign trail.
“It’s an incredible thing that’s happened over the last few years, a lot of great things, and you’re paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? That’s okay,” he said. “You know what that’s like? That’s like a tax cut,” he pointed out. “That’s bigger than a tax cut. If Biden got in, you’d be paying $7, $8, $9. Then they’d say, ‘Get rid of your car.'”
And boy, was he right. As gas prices hit historic highs,

The decision to send Todd’s program out to pasture is starting to make sense.
It has been a tough go of things for Chuck Todd over the past few weeks. Increasingly, MSNBC programs are seeing plummeting ratings, from the newcomers like Symone Sanders to the more established lineup. Then, the man who often bristles at the idea the press is partisan–while stumping favorably for Joe Biden on the regular–had a bit of reckoning himself with his own show this week.
The host of Meet The Press (which airs on the broadcast network Sundays) also has a weekday entry, entitled MTP Daily (MTPD), and it too has been facing eroding ratings in 2022.

Roughly a dozen students at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, were alive for over an hour before law enforcement made it into their classrooms, according to a new report by the New York Times.
There were 33 children and 3 teachers in the path of the shooter, but police reportedly waited an hour- and-17-minutes before four officers entered the classrooms in question–despite 60 officers having arrived at the school, the report says.
From the NYT:
Investigators have been working to determine whether any of those who died could have been saved if they had received medical attention sooner, according to an official with knowledge of the effort.

Democrats are doing all they can to distract from the horrible inflation which just hit new heights of bad. Their hope was the Jan. 6 Committee. But that isn’t going over so well. Now, we know we’ve had a lot of Jan. 6 coverage, but before I head off for more salient things, I couldn’t help but comment on the reaction of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Delusional-NY).
AOC was teary, saying on Instagram she was “so angry” having to “relive that footage.” Her Instagram post said, “I’m shaking all over again.” “We were trapped on the campus with no way out.”
“On a personal level, I wasn’t expecting it to feel like this,”

There’s a blessed consistency to the solutions radical left-wing Democrats have offered for America’s problems. As far back as the 1960s, liberal Democrats have been agitating for the government to “spend more money.” In the ’60s, it was spending six zeroes more for the government’s schemes.
But that just won’t do for today’s government Gargantua. Today we must speak in terms of nine zeroes to solve any problem created when the government was spending only six zeroes.
Senator Bernie Sanders remembers when he was agitating for the government to spend billions of dollars on the welfare state in the 1960s. There were warnings from mainstream economists back then too —

While the members of the Democrat-stacked Select Committee on the so-called “insurrection” on January 6, 2021, will get their chance to bask in the glow of the media spotlight during the nationally televised spectacle of public hearings beginning Thursday, little attention will be paid to the protesters who have been rotting in a special D.C. jail after their protest that went badly awry.
One protester who has been caught up in the living hell that was unleashed by the Biden administration and congressional Democrats and who, despite making a plea deal is still being sent to prison, reached out to conservative podcaster Steve Deace

The results of a drug trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 18 rectal cancer patients are now completely free of the disease.
The handful of patients were part of a study conducted at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in Manhattan and resulted in a success rate of 100 percent. Each patient was under the age of 50.
“I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer,” Dr. Luis A. Diaz Jr, the author of the paper, told The New York Times.
The drug used in the study is called dostarlimab and was designed to retrain the body’s autoimmune system

I’m old enough to remember watching news reports about the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states describing electricity blackouts, showing stores with empty shelves and people standing in long lines at shops to purchase scarce necessities.
Commentators explained how only government officials had access to nice homes or cars and how only government employees and Communist Party members were exempt from the rules they established for the populace.
I saw it for myself in the early 1960s when I visited East Germany, crossing through Check Point Charlie, into East Berlin. I visited again 20 years later in the early 1980s before the “Wall” came down.

Apt description, sadly enough.
