Rep. Elijah Cummings’ daughter caught making money as Lyft driver with daddy’s congressional license plates. For many Democrat politicians, stealing from the government is the family business.

Economy adds measly 36,000 jobs in May. And only 25,000 of that 36,000 were in the private sector. To put this number in perspective, we need more than 100,000 new jobs every month just to keep pace with population growth and more than 200,000 every month to make a reasonable dent in unemployment.

Networks cover gorilla shooting 54 times more than Chicago shootings. 69 people getting shot in Chicago over Memorial weekend barely makes the news, but one gorilla getting shot in Cincinnati…?

Georgia ACLU leader resigns after daughters frightened by men in women’s restroom. Progressives are always distraught when they come face to face with the result of their endeavors.

Elephant charges RINO. An African safari confrontation loaded with symbolism.

Glenn Beck kicked off SiriusXM for suggesting assassination of Trump? That’s what virulently pro-Trump Brietbart says.

Trump talks about Memorial Day: “It’s our day and we have to be very proud of it and we are very proud of it.” Say what? He’s a dead veteran now?

Libertarian frontrunner Gary Johnson gets booed at party convention. Looks like maybe another political party has outlived its principles.

Santa Monica College students marry the ocean. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but the whimper of morons.

Republican Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton tears into Harry Reid. Guran-damn-teed to make your week. Enjoy.

U.S. military uses 70s-era computers with floppy disks to coordinate nuclear forces. Not. Exactly. Reassuring.

Katie Couric caught lying deceptively editing anti-gun documentary. Hey, give her a break: if she wasn’t dishonest, she wouldn’t have a job.

NY police hit man with five bullets, Carhartt jacket stops four of them. We knew Carhartt made tough stuff but damn…

Investigative reporter finds hundreds of dead people voting in Los Angeles. One example: John Cenkner died in Palmdale in 2003 but somehow voted in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010. When asked how this was possible, his daughter replied, “He took a lot of time choosing his candidates.”

Kenneth Starr: from righteous warrior to pusillanimous academic. After investigating and prosecuting him in the 90s, now he sings Bill Clinton’s praises:

“President Carter set a very high standard, which President Clinton clearly continues to follow.”

Say what!?

“His genuine empathy for human beings is absolutely clear. It is powerful, it is palpable and the folks of Arkansas really understood that about him—that he genuinely cared.”

We wonder if Juanita Broaddrick “understood that about him.”

U.S. officials worried about military coup in Venezuela. Here’s the $64,000 question: Why?

Hundreds of oil tankers anchored or barely moving off the coast of China. The price of oil is so low they don’t want to dock and unload. ZeroHedge spotted the same thing off Galveston in November.

Meet Spot, Mr. Puppy UK for 2016, who likes to dress as a Dalmatian. His former fiancée, Rachel (above), left him because, in her words, “I didn’t understand it. I didn’t want to understand it.” Sounds ruff.

Trump campaign admits it didn’t raise $6 million for veterans. From the 2016 We-Told-You-So files, IHTM told you so back in February: Remember that $6 million Trump promised for veterans groups?

Black Lives Matter leader with “social justice charity” turns out to be… a pimp? You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Portland Public Schools board turns into book burners. The board passed a resolution Tuesday which will eliminate all books which “cast doubt on whether climate change is occurring and that the activity of human beings is responsible.”

Iran orders Hezbollah to target Saudi Arabia instead of Israel. LOL. Israel will no doubt enjoy the break. Iran is that neighbor from hell with multiple pit bulls chained to the bumpers of multiple abandoned cars in his front yard, who sits on his porch wearing camo pants, infantry boots, and no shirt, repeatedly field stripping his AK-47 while staring at your kids.

Is Trump backsliding on climate change now? He’s been a vocal skeptic but now that he’s got the nomination sewn up, listen to his “energy adviser:”

“My advice would be, while I’m a skeptic as well, he is a product of political populism and political populism believes that there needs [to be] some addressing of climate change.”

Huh?

And you thought abortion was bad:

“A handful of scientists around the United States are trying to do something that some people find disturbing: make embryos that are part human, part animal.”

States renamed for countries with similar gun ownership. I live in Turkey. Our two presidential candidates come from Pakistan.
