Swalwell Blowout! Hunter Biden Bailout! BM Payout! Route 66 Burnout!

“Swalwell campaign imploding after new sexual assault allegation” (Politico)
A former staffer has accused Eric Swalwell of sexual assault on two occasions, alleging nonconsensual acts while she was intoxicated.
Sacramento has seen many political implosions.
Usually they evolve like a tire losing air.
This one sounds more like a sidewall blowout at 70 miles per hour.
One day you’re polling respectably. The next day your campaign chair resigns and your donors don’t return calls.
Swalwell, in a word?
Toast.
“Disturbing sex attack claims leveled against Eric Swalwell” (NY Post)
The woman, who worked for Swalwell for nearly two years, said the most serious incident occurred in April 2024, when she alleges he sexually assaulted her after a charity gala in New York.
The woman said she became heavily intoxicated while drinking with Swalwell late into the night and has only fragmented memories of what followed. She recalled being in his hotel room, pushing him away and telling him “No” as he allegedly forced himself on her.
“I woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point,” she wrote in a text message to a friend days later.
Yup. Toast.

Charred toast.
“Eric Swalwell suspends campaign for governor of California amid accusations of sexual assault” (Daily Mail)
Charred toast tossed into the trash.

Ah, the sweet smell of burnt toast…
“What Gavin Newsom is spending $19M to hide” (California Post)
That’s your money spent on striving to conceal California’s problems by attempting to make Gavin look less gruesome than the record shows.

Oil 1, Newsom 0.
“Trump vows ‘complete decimation’ in ceasefire warning to Tehran” (The Mirror)
Less talk, more action, Mr. President.
Finish the job, a complete Iranian surrender—and take possession of their oil to cover our military costs.
Otherwise, you will look like LBJ and two Bushes.
“Hunter Biden has quietly bolted from the US and claims he is $17 million in debt” (The Express)
This revelation comes over Hunter’s desire to get out of a lawsuit he initiated against a former Trump aide.
It follows Hunter’s disbarment from Washington, D.C. last May, and getting disbarred from Connecticut in December.
Question: Has Hunter moved abroad to paint canvases?
Speaking of Swalwell, Newsom, and Hunter…
“People making a fortune selling healthy poo” (The Telegraph)
Yes, monetized bowel movements.
There is now a legitimate market for human faeces used in faecal microbiota transplants to treat severe infections and other gut disorders.
Healthy donors can earn up to about $1,200 per month.
For centuries, parents told their children: “Don’t waste your potential.”
Now science has clarified the message: “Don’t waste your waste.”
But don’t reach for the bedpan yet. Fewer than 2% of applicants qualify, meaning the bar for “premium product” is high.
“Musk amplifies ex-Pfizer chief’s explosive COVID vaccine safety claims” (The Federal)
Who: Dr. Helmut Sterz, former toxicologist associated with Pfizer’s European operations.
What: 60,000 people in Germany died as a result of COVID-19 vaccines.
Where: He testified at the German Bundestag (Federal Parliament).
When: 19 March 2026.
Why: Germany is conducting a retrospective audit of pandemic governance.
And finally… “Cruising America’s Main Street—Route 66 is 100 years old” (AP)
Two years ago, on a cross-country road trip, I cruised Historic 66.
I was excited about seeing an old stretch of the historic highway in Tucumcari, New Mexico.
Until I got there.
It should be renamed Route 666.
All the once-charming motels, restaurants, and gas stations along this stretch of “America’s Main Street” are now derelict and in shambles.
Needless to add, all closed.
The only place open was a cannabis dispensary.
Which sort of suggests Route 66 has gone up in smoke.
(Or is it the whole country…?)
What a week—whew!
“WE GIVE A HOOT”
And you should too.

I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s not surprised about these allegations. All he does is give off “scumbag“ vibes. Now it’s confirmed he’s a full-blown creeper. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
"Germany is conducting a retrospective audit of pandemic governance."
What are the odds of a similar (legitimate) review occurring in the U.S....besides zero? Would be a fun betting option on Polymarket.
Sad to see Tucumcari looking like Los Angeles.
