Biden ripped for repeating debunked Amtrak story: 'This is disturbing stuff'

For at least the eighth time Joe Biden has told the same untrue story about the number of miles he has taken on Amtrak. It is debunkable on at least three items. It's so false that even the leftist fact-checkers have blown the whistle on this tale of malarkey.

Also, when Biden lies, which is a lot, he gives what Dan Bongino calls "the tell." Biden knows he's lying, so he adds a line to the make-believe story, "true story" is what he said this time, to bolster his about his fib.

Democrats on House intel committee reportedly ‘furious’ at uncooperative Biden

2 killed and at least 13 wounded, including a toddler, in Chicago weekend shootings

Over the final weekend of January two people were shot to death and at least 13 others were wounded. 

The two homicides occurred Friday afternoon in the Calumet Heights neighborhood on the South Side. A SWAT team, responding to reports of gunfire, discovered the victims, a man and a woman, on Friday afternoon.

Of those wounded in the other weekend shootings, one of the victims was a three-year-old boy, who was shot early Saturday morning in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the Southwest Side.

Snob alert: Schiff and Swalwell attack McCarthy with "Bakersfield BS" taunt

The two Democrat members of Congress from California who were booted off of the House Intelligence Committee, its former chairman, Adam Schiff, who lied about so-called Trump-Russia collusion, and Eric Swalwell, who had a years-long relationship with a young female Chinese spy, were guests yesterday on CNN's State of the Union. 

Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota member of Congress who has made anti-Semitic comments, was also a guest on the show.

Host Dana Bash confronted Swalwell with the Chinese spy concern, and part of his reply contained snobbery.

"This is some Bakersfield BS," Swalwell answered back to Bash. "It's Kevin McCarthy weaponizing his ability to commit this political abuse because he perceives me, just like Mr. Schiff and Ms. Omar, as an effective political opponent." 

McCarthy is a lifelong resident of Bakersfield.

Swalwell represents a district in that includes prosperous Contra Costa County east of San Francisco. 

Joining in the attack was Schiff, whose southern California district covers the well-off San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles. Schiff is Jewish, and Bash asked him about those anti-Semitic remarks by Omar.

It was back to Bakersfield for this Dem.

"This is, as my colleague said, Bakersfield BS" was how Schiff began his counterattack. 

Bakersfield, which has over 400,000 residents, is a hub of California's agricultural sector. The Central Valley city is often looked down upon by "the betters." You know, people like Swalwell and Schiff. 

Last week Schiff announced that he is a candidate for the US Senate seat currently held by fellow Democrat Dianne Feinstein, who is not expected to run for reelection. 

How will Bakersfield voters respond?

It's time to hang it up, senator.

Van Morrison: "And The Healing Has Begun" live in 1986

Is this the end of Marathon Pundit? Well, I'll keep blogging, but I've been doing very little running since Thanksgiving. Three injuries on my left side have hobbled me, bursitis being the worst.

If I don't run, am I just "Pundit?"

The good news is that the healing has begun. Which is played on my iPod during my rehab walk/runs. Well, the Van Morrison song, "And The Healing Has Begun," that is being played.

In the clip here, the Belfast Cowboy delivers an inspirational performance in his native Northern Ireland of this stream-of-consciousness masterpiece from his Into The Music album. 

We're gonna stay out all night long 

And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field 

Baby, you know how I feel 

When the healing has begun.

Yes, for me, the healing has begun.
