Thank you.

Memo To News Media: “Hogan’s Heroes” Likewise Was Just Entertainment, Not an Instruction Manual

Depopulating the U.S., Biden-Style
Hmm: First Biden’s Mind Fails and Then the Live Stream?
Townhall | 6/25/20 | Bronson Stocking
Another day, another example of Joe Biden’s mental decline.
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee spoke on health care at an event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on Thursday. An entire event dedicated to health care and the subject of dementia never came up.
Biden, who confuses his wife for his sister, hopes to position himself as the go-to expert on the coronavirus. To demonstrate his profound knowledge on the subject, Biden familiarized himself with the latest statistics on the disease.
“You have, unnecessarily, now we have over 120 million dead from COVID,” Biden declared.
…
So what on Earth is Joe Biden talking about? The campaign must have been wondering the same thing because, just as Biden says something baffling and closes his eyes in frustration over another mental failure, the live stream freezes. The image stayed frozen for well over a minute. Coincidence?
Previously:
The former vice president claimed that 150 million people have died from “gun violence.”
“150 million people have been killed since 2007, when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. More than all the wars! Including Vietnam! From that point on, carnage on our streets, and I want to tell you, if I’m elected [turns awkwardly to camera and points], I’m coming for you, and gun manufacturers, I’m going to take you on and I’m going … blurble [drowned out in cheers].”

And, if it helps with the depopulation:
The [Washington] Free Beacon’s Joe Schoffstall reported: “Nearly two-thirds of the money the Biden Cancer Initiative spent since its founding in 2017 went toward staff compensation and six-figure salaries for top executives. The group spent far less on efforts to eradicate cancer.”
According to Schoffstall’s report, the Biden Cancer Initiative was only around for two years (2017 and 2018) and $3 million out of the $4.8 million they raised in that time “went to salaries, compensation, and benefits.” “That is well above the 25 percent charity watchdogs recommend nonprofits spend on administrative overhead and fundraising costs combined,” he noted.
So, Biden’s charity was paying its executives 65 percent of their fundraising…

A Non-Political Respite
Hello, Geico?
Lamborghini Wrecked Just 20 Minutes After Leaving the Showroom
CNBC | 26 June 2020
A Lamborghini was destroyed in a collision on a highway in West Yorkshire in the U.K., just 20 minutes after the car left the showroom.
The car is said to have been a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, which can fetch as much as $266,325 depending on the model, according to Carbuzz.
The “brand new” Lamborghini stopped due to a mechanical failure and was then hit from behind by an “innocent motorist” on Wednesday, the West Yorkshire Police roads policing unit said on Twitter.
Straight Line of the Day: How Did They Do It?
You’re Here To See IMAO? Are You a Bank Examiner? This Isn’t Embezzlement!!
Question of the Day
We’re talking baseball.
Well hopefully.
They want to start up Spring Training on July 1st. At least they hope to because who knows how the worry warts are going to deal with the reality that testing positive for the Chinese Flu is NOT a death sentence. Sigh.
On the bright side we may have Baseball again. Yipee!
So the question of the day is this, how do you feel about the return of baseball?
I know I will watch. How about you?
