First, this is Lemon trying to get a headline. Unfortunately, and I'm guilty of this, we react to his nonsense. We are talking about him, are we not? He probably gets a larger audience when we talk about him.
Second, this is what Lemon has been doing for years. His show is nothing but Trump bashing, which is why most serious Republicans avoided it like a plague.
Turn off the TV, get some real lemons and make some lemonade. You will feel a lot better.
Polanski's wife was murdered, he had sex with an underage girl & won an Oscar. Most directors would be happy with just 2 of those
JWR "The New York D.A. charged a Bodega owner with murder for defending himself against an armed attacker. Big city D.A.s have lost their minds. Next they'll claim the Americans with Disabilities Act requires Bodegas to install wheelchair ramps so disabled robbers have equal access to the cash registers.
• Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince was urged by Western leaders to deliver more oil to the West Friday while just by lucky coincidence, summer monsoons in the Indian Ocean are preventing pirates from seizing U.S.-bound tankers. Everyone at CNN feels utterly betrayed. The climate is saving the oil industry.
• The L.A. District Attorney filed a motion that may allow Roman Polanski to return to Hollywood a free man after 45 years exile. Back then, Polanski's wife was murdered, he had sex with an underage girl and he won an Oscar. Most Hollywood directors would be happy with just two of those three things.
• President Biden arrived in Saudi Arabia Friday for an Arab regional security conference amid worldwide concern for high oil prices. Later he will meet personally with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Joe's been the president for 18 months, it was about time he met with the owners.
• Elon Musk was sued in Delaware by Twitter to try to force Musk to honor the forty-four-billion-dollar offer he made two months ago. The saga has exposed Twitter to be a one-sided bot-ridden noise box. If the newspaper was the evolution of the Town Crier, Twitter is the evolution of the Town Drunk.
"In recent months numerous crisis pregnancy centers, pro-life health centers, and churches have been vandalized, firebombed, and otherwise attacked by radical left pro-abortion rioters. Groups such as “Jane’s Revenge” and “Ruth Sent Us” have claimed responsibility for the vast majority of these attacks, yet the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are doing everything they can not to put a stop to these domestic terrorist attacks.
"Similarly, the mainstream media is hardly covering these events.
"Lives are being destroyed while individuals are threatened and pro-life patriots and believers are targeted by infanticidal leftists.
"Today, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio reads off a list of the many churches, businesses, and health centers targeted and destroyed by radical left sociopaths.". . .
Previous surveys have offered similar findings.
"A new poll out Friday shows Wyoming’s nominal Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney trailing her Trump-backed challenger by more than 20 points.
"According to the joint survey by the Casper-Star Tribune and Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, attorney Harriet Hageman leads Cheney 52 percent to 30 percent a month before the August primary.
“The big story is Liz Cheney is going to get beat,” said Brad Coker, the managing director of the polling firm co-opted by the Star-Tribune. “That’s a foregone conclusion.”
"Together, Mason-Dixon Polling and the local paper interviewed 1,100 registered Wyoming voters between July 7-11 for the survey with a 3 percent margin of error.
“This is the first independent, public in-state poll to be conducted” in the race, the Star-Tribune reported.". . .
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that Dayan “is famous in Israel in part for becoming more religiously observant, embracing the principle of shomer negiah, a prohibition on opposite-sex touching that some Orthodox Jews believe is required. The prohibition is rooted in the idea that any touch can lead to sexual impropriety.”
Issues & Insights "Biden shakes hands with the air … again” is the label on a video clip of President Joe Biden after he receives the Presidential Medal of Honor from Israeli President Isaac Herzog at an event in Jerusalem on Thursday.
"After shaking hands with Herzog, Biden turns and appears to extend his hand again to shake … with nobody. This is the second time Biden has made this odd move. Back in April, he did the same thing, and the clip went viral enough that the “fact-checking” press had to rush in to defend Biden, saying he was simply gesturing to the audience.
"This time, there is no audience, just a couple of empty chairs.
"It’s not entirely clear from the video why Biden extends his hand like this. It almost appears as though he’s giving himself stage directions, as in “now head over this way, Mr. President.”
"Whatever Biden was thinking, it’s clear that he is incredibly enfeebled, as he shuffles stiffly over to his seat, with Herzog literally guiding him and pointing at the chair where Biden is supposed to sit.". . .
"But that’s not the most embarrassing handshake flub at this event.
"After carefully making his way down to his chair, Biden smiles – as though happy with his achievement – and then he and Herzog watch a pop duet sing a Hebrew rendition of “Let it Be.”
"At the end of the song, they walk over to the singers, and Biden shakes hands with Ran Danker (forgetting that he’d promised to forgo handshakes while in Israel because of COVID)." . . .
Then he reaches out to shake Yuval Dayan’s hand. But she refuses to reciprocate. And Biden is left hanging. Click the video below to watch that.". . .

"Who is Ray Epps? We don’t really know—not yet. "
Roger Kimball . . ."But in the succeeding months, the Narrative had changed. The preposterous show trials of the “select” January 6 committee, Loopy Liz Cheney presiding, is not getting the traction it was supposed to get. People who work for CNN, MSNBC, or kindred outlets are all behind Cheney in her mad vendetta against Trump. But the mass of people across the country do not care one whit about the “findings” of the committee. Most people can recognize a partisan witch hunt when they see one, and this Star Chamber performance has done more to engender disgust at Congress than it has to turn people against Trump.
"Moreover, with every passing week, evidence that the entire January 6 protest was planned and abetted not by Donald Trump and his nefarious agents but rather by elements of the anti-Trump regime has been piling up. Julie Kelly here at American Greatness and Darren Beattie at Revolver News have been at the forefront of the effort to uncover the truth behind the Wizard-of-Oz-like spectacle of January 6. Now the regime seems to be panicking.
"Hence the Times is willing to transform Ray Epps from perpetrator into victim in order to influence the Narrative. Their proximate goal is signaled in the subtitle to their maudlin valentine: “Ray Epps became the unwitting face of an attempt by pro-Trump forces to promote the baseless idea that the F.B.I. was behind the attack on the Capitol.”
"Ah. The “baseless” idea, you see.
"Yes, even in that video taken on January 5, 2021, when Epps tells the crowd that the next day they must go “into the Capitol, into the Capitol,” members of the crowd start chanting “Fed, Fed, Fed.” They knew.". . .
Democrats have turned America into a third-world country.
Kim Glass, the Olympian who was brutally attacked in broad daylight in Los Angeles, speaks out against rising crime sweeping the country:

"Court records showed that the homeless man who attacked a former Olympian had a frightening history of assaulting women for the past four years.
"He just came up behind me and he socked me," said attack survivor Irene Lee. "I felt like a car or bike ad hit me and I started stumbling forward and just crying."
She remembers the attack vividly. In August 2020, while she was an attorney at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Lee walked over to a Starbucks with a coworker in downtown L.A. when she was randomly attacked.
"I'm screaming out crying," she said. "Cindy is calling for help and a security guard pepper sprayed my attacker."
The same man who attacked Lee, 51-year-old Semeon Tasfamarean, also assaulted former Olympian and model Kim Glass last week when he allegedly threw a construction bolt at the silver medalist.
"Him or other people like that are going to hurt more people," Glass said in an earlier interview. "He's
Outkick "This is not a story from 2020 or 2021.
"In the year of our Lord 2022, Los Angeles has officially announced their intention to return the county to a universal indoor mask mandate.
"The unelected director of LA Public Health, who is not a doctor, has declared that when Los Angeles County hits the arbitrary “high” level on the CDC’s transmission zone map, she will automatically reintroduce forced masking:
"Local news reported on Thursday that “If the county stays at the high category for two weeks straight, officials would bring back rules requiring the wearing of masks during most indoor public activities.”
"It’s hard to believe that anyone at this point still thinks mask mandates work. Areas with mandates have seen cases break records while areas without mandates have often seen cases fall.". . .
Imagine having to trust Saudi Arabia’s take more than that of Joe Biden. But, their take is more honest than his.
Nick Arama "Joe Biden went hat in hand to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil, even meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after he said he wouldn’t–and after Biden called the kingdom a “pariah” nation. When he came out of the meeting, it was clear Biden had nothing, but he tried to make it appear he had something.". . .
One can't help but notice the look on the face of that saluting soldier.
"Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal — who had previously served as head of Saudi intelligence and an ambassador to the U.S. — told CNBC that Biden was a “much-diminished president” compared with when he was inaugurated in January 2021.
“As an example, on energy issues, he came in with a policy to stop completely fossil fuel usage not only in the United States, but worldwide,” Prince Turki said. Now, Biden has a need for fossil fuel, “not only because of the Ukraine war, but also because of U.S. policy itself that shut down pipelines and stopped issuing….discovery of oil on U.S. soil,” Turki said.
"That’s right on target, but it’s not good when you have the Saudis mocking the person we have occupying the highest seat in the land. That doesn’t help out national security interests or our standing in the world. But, it’s not going to get better until Joe Biden leaves office.". . .
Wait for it......

While I believe even most conservatives would agree with Schiff that America shouldn’t be dependent on anything from “oil-rich autocrats,” discerning readers would also note that one of the reasons we’re dependent on foreign oil is because of people like Joe Biden and Adam Schiff, both of who are opposed to American energy independence in the form of domestic drilling. In fact, one of Biden’s first acts as President was to shut down the Keystone pipeline system, a project Adam Schiff has repeatedly voted against in Congress.
So, why is Newsom doing what he’s doing? The answer is that he’s delusional enough to think the Democrat Party will throw Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg under the bus to nominate a straight, white male in 2024. In an era of absolute liberal devotion to identity politics, that’s just not going to happen. Newsom’s attempts to raise his profile by attacking DeSantis are only going to add to the Florida governor’s legend.
"I’m really thinking it’s time for someone to do a wellness check on Gavin Newsom. The California governor has recently developed an incredibly odd obsession with the governor of a state that resides over 2,000 miles away.
"Of course, I’m talking about Ron DeSantis and Florida, which has become one of the fastest growing, most prosperous states in the union. Emigration from California to Florida (and other red states) has been at extremely high levels over the last several years, and that’s not a coincidence. DeSantis made his state a safe haven from COVID-19 hysteria, including lockdowns and mandates. Newsom, on the other hand, is still running a medical security state out west that has crushed businesses and only exacerbated the wealth gap.
"Laughably, Newsom decided to run ads in Florida trying to present his state as the place of “real” freedom, essentially begging people to return to the hellhole he’s created. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that won’t be very effective.
"Yet, Newsom’s attacks are continuing, and they are getting weirder and more deranged.". . .
