Speaking of people with no pants on…

Hunter Biden’s Plea Deal fell apart at the last minute yesterday… after the Judge discovered what appeared to be a “secret agreement” between the Defense and Prosecution that would have seen Hunter basically skate. They now have 30 days to present a new deal to the Judge. In the meantime, Hunter was ordered to abstain from alcohol & drugs and has to look for a job… or he’ll go to jail for violating probation.

- Sounds like somebody took away Hunter’s Big Boy Pants!

- Hey… Maybe Hunter could get a job working for an Energy Company in Ukraine! I wonder if his Dad has any connections over there…

Mick Jagger celebrated a milestone Birthday this week… turning 80!

Hail battered a Delta Air Lines passenger jet bound for New York shortly after taking off from Milan, Italy forcing it to make an emergency landing.

According to a new report, President Biden’s nearly 2-year-old German shepherd Commander bit seven people in a four-month period after former first dog Major was ousted from the White House over similar aggressive behavior.

- Aggressive behavior, huh? Maybe that Cocaine wasn't Hunter's after all???

*****

During her Press Briefing Tuesday, WH Spokesperson Karine Jean Pierre blamed Commander's aggressive behavior on the "Stress" of being a dog at the White House.

- You don’t even wanna hear about the “Surprise” Commander left on the Oval Office Rug.

*****

Congress is holding hearing into UFO's today... and is expected to hear testimony that the Government is in possession of an "Alien Spacecraft".

- And knowing the government... the first thing they're going to do is outlaw it by 2030 because it's "Not Electric”.

- It’s either that… or Nancy Pelosi got caught parking in her old “Speaker of the House” spot at the Capitol again.

*****

During a speech yesterday, President Biden said that "We’re still feeling the profound loss of a Pandemic....over 100 people dead... That's 100 empty chairs around the kitchen table".

- 100 empty chairs around the kitchen table?? They must shop at Big Lots.

- Wow. That sounds like my house at Thanksgiving when my favorite Rutabaga is served. I love it… but everyone else always threatens to leave the table. I call that a Win-Win!!

20 year old Climate Activist Greta Thunberg was carted off by cops at a protest in Sweden this week just hours after getting fined for blocking Oil Tankers.

*****

It’s confirmed! Tom Brady IS DATING Russian Supermodel Irina Shayk - who used to go out with and has a child by actor Bradley Cooper.

There’s a hot new fashion trend in China… The “Face-kini”. It’s a full face & head mask with holes for the eyes, nose and mouth that protects people from the sun, jellyfish, insects and other irritants while at the beach.

- It sounds to me more like it’s another attempt by the Chinese to keep our ships out of the South China Sea.

Elon Musk has joined the backlash against the Barbie film's portrayal of anti-man feminism saying: “If you take a shot every time Barbie says the word 'patriarchy' you will pass out before the movie ends”.

*****

White House aides have admitted that they're making "accommodations" for President Biden’s age - including using larger type on his teleprompter, notecards during meetings, and a smaller shorter set of stairs when he gets on/off Air Force One to minimize falls.

A former defense official in the Clinton and Bush Administrations who is scheduled to testify before Congress on UFO’s tomorrow, says that the US has recovered technology that “Did not originate on this earth”.

- To be honest, the guy in the picture floating in the inner tube looks he just landed from Mars…

*****

A Lioness was filmed climbing the highest tree around to escape the love interest of 7 male Lions that were after her.

Happy Birthday to Michael Richards who is 73 today! Kramer on “Seinfeld” of course! We celebrate with a few of his classic lines…
