America's Greatest Cartoonist^TM weighs in:

At first I thought it might be a terror attack—maybe even a false flag. After all, Robert Kennedy Jr. was to announce his running mate. Biden’s team knows RFK Jr. will take more votes away from Joe than Trump. Maybe they planned a distraction. Or perhaps the crash was a way to pull eyes away from the launch of Trump’s stock—with the ticker of DJT. It flew up on Tuesday on its first day of trading and added several billion dollars more to Trump’s coffers. So much for Biden’s joke about Trump being ‘broke.’

Some people are saying it was most likely an accident and not a conspiracy. After all, accidents happen. Yet the same people saying it was an accident are the same people that said the covid vaccine was ‘safe and effective’ and Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. This is a developing story so we will have to wait for more details.

You read it here first: the new bridge will be named after Baltimore native Barbara Mikulski.

What about John Waters?

The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man, as we were recently reminded.
