JEERS <\/strong>to a pointless train. The <\/span>Iowa<\/span> caucuses had been held final evening, and I do know you are sitting on corn canines and needles ready to listen to the outcomes. Right here on the C&J Elections desk, we have you coated. So listed here are the outcomes:<\/p>\n

\n

The outcomes are precisely what you anticipated.<\/p>\n

It was very chilly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For extra, take a look at the AP’s coverage<\/strong><\/a>. Not like my abstract, theirs will not be what you anticipated. As a result of they know that is simply what you will expect.<\/p>\n

CHEERS <\/strong>to the warchestiest conflict chest in all of Warchestdom. One factor President Biden gained\u2019t have to fret about as he seeks reelection is cash. I suppose when the opposition social gathering’s signature agenda merchandise is establishing a Fourth Reich, people have a tendency to open their wallets<\/strong><\/a> and say,”Nein!

Biden\u2019s reelection marketing campaign, together with the Democratic Occasion, ended the 12 months with $117 million, which the marketing campaign notes is the very best cash-on-hand determine for any Democratic candidate at this level within the cycle. [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis historic haul\u2014proudly powered by sturdy and rising grassroots enthusiasm\u2014sends a transparent message: The Group Biden-Harris coalition is aware of the stakes of this election and is able to win this November,\u201d mentioned marketing campaign supervisor Julie Chavez Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Biden-Harris marketing campaign additionally unveiled their successful bumper-sticker slogan for 2024: “Rick ’em,<\/span><\/span> rack ‘em, rock<\/span> ‘em,<\/span><\/span> ruck ‘em, get that ball and<\/span> actually stop ’em from putting in Hitler 2.0.”<\/em>\u00a0 And in associated information: we’re gonna want an extended bumper.<\/p>\n

CHEERS\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>to the conflict hawks\u2019 horrible, horrible, no good, very unhealthy day. Eight\u00a0years in the past\u2014<\/span><\/span>Saturday, January 16, 2016<\/span><\/span>\u2014one of many (many) vital occasions in Barack Obama\u2019s presidency was etched onto the wall of historical past. It began when the White Home introduced that 5 American detainees, together with Washington Publish journalist Jason Rezaian, had been free of Iranian prisons in change for a handful of Iranians we had been detaining on the Hoboken Membership Med (for violating the two-beach-towels-per-person-per-day rule). \u00a0However that was\u00a0<\/span>just the warm-up act for this:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

On\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>January 16, 2016<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, the Worldwide Atomic Power Company verified that\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Iran<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>has accomplished the required steps beneath the\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Iran<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>deal that may guarantee\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Iran<\/span><\/span><\/strong>‘s nuclear program is and stays solely peaceable.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier than this settlement,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Iran<\/span><\/span>‘s breakout time—or the time it could have taken for\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Iran<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to collect sufficient fissile materials to construct a weapon—was solely two to a few months. At this time, due to the\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Iran<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>deal, it could take\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Iran<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>12 months or extra. And with the unprecedented monitoring and entry this deal places in place, if\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Iran<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>tries, we’ll know and sanctions will snap again into place.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I bear in mind it nicely: the American individuals had been blissful, the Iranian individuals had been blissful (they even lowered their catchphrase from “Dying to America” to “barely swollen ankles to the higher Midwest”), and all the opposite nations concerned within the pact\u2014China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and the remainder of the 28 EU states\u2014had been blissful. However not Donald Trump. Drawing on his advantageous command of completely nothing associated to overseas coverage, he simply\u00a0<\/span>had<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>to tug out as a result of\u00a0<\/span>diplomacy bad, bombs good<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>. To be honest, although, it is what the coal miners needed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CHEERS\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>to unusual new previous worlds. The absolutely armed and operational battle station often called the James Webb area telescope continues dazzling we wee parasites right here on this insignificant plastic-encrusted ball of magma.\u00a0The latest discovery, an exoplanet<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0(“any planet that’s outdoors of our photo voltaic system”) has me already packin’ my asbestos-lined luggage:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

NASA’S James Webb House Telescope noticed a planet outdoors of our photo voltaic system which may be capable to help life. Webb found the presence of methane and carbon dioxide on the exoplanet K2-18 b, which is 8.6 occasions the scale of Earth. This means K2-18 b could possibly be a Hycean exoplanet.<\/span><\/p>\n

K2-18 b is within the liveable zone, which suggests its distance from a star could enable water to exist on its floor. These zones are often known as “Goldilocks zones,” taking their identify from the previous kids’s story as a result of situations are “excellent” for all times.<\/p>\n

Not solely did the planet present an abundance of methane and carbon dioxide, but additionally a scarcity of ammonia. This implies an ocean could exist beneath K2-18 b’s hydrogen-rich ambiance, based on NASA.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you would like to hitch me and my merry band of Nigerian finance ministers in our daring flying saucer escape to this galactic Shangri-La, deposit $5,000,000 in my checking account and await the glowing inexperienced tractor beam to hover over your home. With our cruise management set on the most allowable 65 mph, the journey to K2-18 b will take us a couple of billion years, so deliver some snacks and a private cryogenic tank.

Ten years in the past in C&J: <\/strong>January 16, 2014<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

JEERS<\/span><\/strong> to the sake-fication of <\/span>America<\/span>. \u00a0Heckuva job, right-wingers. \u00a0Whilst you pinheads had been obsessed together with your certainty that Obama was going to “take away yer weapons,” <\/span>Japan<\/span> was busy takin’ away our Jim Beam. \u00a0Sure, it is true, they purchased the corporate, so <\/span>get used to it<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0The brand new firm, Suntory, says that past renaming Maker’s Mark “Howdy Joyful Princess Kentucky Tummy Tickle Drinky Time,” they don’t have any plans to vary a factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/p>\n

And only one extra\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

CHEERS<\/span><\/strong> to proving the dummy fallacious. Fourteen years in the past this week I obtained an URGENT e mail from some conservative hack who needed me to know one thing crucial. \u00a0It is\u2014as most of those conspiratorial screeds are\u2014very lengthy, however this is the Loopy Cliffs Notes model. \u00a0Being a fan of alliteration, the primary sentence gave me goosebumps:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The discredited, democrat funded ‘Each day Kos’ website online continues with it is every day doctored, dishonest, democrat funded pro-Obama polling numbers. \u00a0At this time’s doctored ballot exhibits Obama’s approval numbers a full EIGHT factors increased than the typical of all of the revered, impartial, trusted polls and a full TEN factors increased than the revered CBS Information ballot launched earlier as we speak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s be clear, <\/span>Kos<\/span> is taking cash from democrats to physician opinion polls and the boot-lickers and sycophants that help <\/span>Kos<\/span> are afraid to problem <\/span>Kos<\/span>. \u00a0Keep in mind, dissenting opinion, debate and argument should not allowed on the Kos<\/span> website online. \u00a0If you happen to disagree with Kos<\/span> you aren’t allowed to put up articles on the democrat funded <\/span>Kos<\/span> website online so not one of the info relating to doctored Kos<\/span> polls and different <\/span>Kos<\/span> lies will ever seem on his website online. \u00a0Very like the low rated Olbermann program, dissent on the ‘DailyKos’ is forbidden! \u00a0<\/p>\n

The proof and historical past of the phony doctored polls on the democrat funded DailyKos irrefutable and hanging, sadly the nameless so-called writers that put up tales on <\/strong><\/span>Kos<\/span><\/strong> should not allowed to criticize him or they will be banned for all times.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And that is the place yours actually takes the “democrat funded” danger of a lifetime\u2014as I do yearly right now\u2014by stepping off the ledge and testing the emailer’s grand idea. \u00a0As a Each day Kos “bootlicker” that is troublesome, however right here goes: Markos, you’re a butthead.<\/strong> \u00a0The remainder is in God’s arms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a tolerable Tuesday. Ground’s open…What are you cheering and jeering about as we speak?<\/strong><\/p>\n
