Britain is facing the reality of a massive Labour majority today with Keir Starmer projected for an election rout. Moments after ballot stations closed at 10pm, the dramatic exit poll was released - showing Sir Keir winning 410 of the 650 seats. That would be a majority of 170 - just short of the 179 achieved by Tony Blair. The Tories are expected to be slashed from the 365 secured less than five years ago to just 131 - their worst performance in modern political history. Meanwhile, the Lib Dems could get 61 - and Nigel Farage's Reform insurgents are predicted to have 13 after effectively leeching millions of votes

Conservatives proved to be liars and "RINO equivalents". They did NOT do what they said they would do, and are getting punished. And never forget that in Britain "conservative" would be about where Bill Clinton is on the political spectrum, by US standards, not even REMOTELY conservative. But, Brit Labour Party is pretty much a communist party front.

Rishi Sunak just resigned as Prime Minister. I always have background music playing while I am working. Sometimes I play light jazz, sometimes jazz bar piano music, but my favorite is modern Indian music. Rishi Sunak. Say his name over and over again, Rishi Sunak Rishi Sunak rishi sunak rishi sunak rishi sunak rishi sunak rishi sunak. It sounds like the background instrumentation to modern Indian music.

The left gets into power and rule like tyrants. There is a backlash, and the left lose power. While out of power, they make it impossible for the government to function. Another backlash occurs, and the left comes back into power with even more draconian rules making it harder to force them out. Eventually they get 100% control. See it in Britain and here in the United States. It's part of their MO.

Does Britain want to become Greece economically? Do they want to be like France and other EU countries and be overrun by Muslim migrants who knows interest in assimilation into British culture, turning the country into a bunch of no go zones? Guess they admire those things because that is the path that they just voted for.

Shootings and other violence during the extended Fourth of July weekend have left at least 33 people dead, including 11 in Chicago, and injured dozens more nationwide, authorities said. The Fourth of July historically is one of the nation’s deadliest days of the year. A flurry of shootings around the holiday a year ago left more than a dozen people dead and over 60 wounded. And a year before that, seven people died in a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade near Chicago. Violence and mass shootings often increase in the summer months, with more people gathering for social events, teens out of school and hotter temperatures.

A bronzed Joe Biden made a bizarre claim about inventing a computer chip during his make-or-break interview Friday. Biden, 81, would repeatedly respond to questions in a raspy, weary voice, often losing track mid-sentence and at times ignoring questions in an attempt to make occasionally outlandish claims about his record. The president at one point told George Stephanopoulos that 'we used to have 40 percent of computer chips. We invented the chip, the little chip, the computer chip. It's in everything from cell phone to weapons.'

Longtime Democrats are expressing frustration and dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden as he faces mounting pressure to drop out of the 2024 race. After Biden’s not-so-shocking debate performance, some Democrats are surprised to find that the 81-year-old’s cognitive health might not be up as up to par as they thought. A Los Angeles Times report pointed out that even in the “most Biden-loving” parts of the Democrat state, people are concerned that the president doesn’t have what it takes to win the election against former President Donald Trump. Many residents of the liberal city told the outlet that after watching the debate, the country would be in trouble if Biden

And I’ve had a full physical. I had — you know what I mean — I’ve been in Walter Reed for my physicals. I mean, yes.

Joe Biden did his much talked about interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News tonight and it was a worst case scenario for Democrats. While Biden did not make any flubs that would force him out of the race, he still came across as old, feeble and out of touch with the reality of the election, meaning that he is just as weak a candidate as he was yesterday and he is not dropping out. Democrats are stuck with him. After the interview was over, Stephanopoulos went to his fellow ABC News pundits for comment. The looks on their faces said it all. Look at this. They look like they’re at a funeral.

President Biden failed Friday to stem growing pessimism about his political future in a rambling 22-minute interview with ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos — during which many of the same issues that marred the Democrat’s debate performance last week resurfaced. Biden, 81, gave multiple excuses for his shocking performance at the first presidential showdown against Donald Trump, saying that he was “exhausted” and “sick” with a “bad cold” before whining that he let Trump’s remarks “distract me” — and forgetting whether he had watched footage of his meltdown.

Biden, who says he's staying in the race, has defied calls to drop out of the running, confident he will beat Trump.

Top Democrats are so alarmed about Joe Biden's ailing health some fear a shadowy cabal is keeping him in power so they can pull levers behind the scenes, it is claimed. The astonishing theory was detailed in the liberal New York magazine. Its reporter Olivia Nuzzi revealed that even Democrat elites are stumped as to how and why the fast-declining 81 year-old is being allowed to continue his re-election bid. Nuzzi said she had heard questions being posed by high-ranking Democrats on the east and west coasts about whether Biden is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by another group of secretive Democrats.

When you think of President Joe Biden these days, who does he remind you of? You might invoke your impression of an elderly relative who is similarly struggling with cognitive issues. The less charitable among us might make a reference to Elmer Fudd or some other frequently befuddled character. But that's not the view that Democratic Congressman Don Beyer of Virginia holds. While introducing Biden at a fundraiser earlier this week, Beyer compared the President to none other than Jesus Christ. This was a case of setting the bar very high, to say the least. But what is it about Joe Biden that reminds Beyer of the Savior so much?

Madison, Wis.— The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that officials can place ballot drop boxes around their communities in this fall’s elections, overturning its own ruling two years ago limiting their use in the presidential swing state. The court limited the use of drop boxes in July 2022, ruling then that they could be placed only in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person. Conservatives controlled the court at that time, but Janet Protasiewicz’s election victory in April 2023 flipped the court to liberal control. Seeing an opening, Priorities USA, a progressive voter mobilization group, asked the court in February
