Greg is still out, so guest host Craig Collins gets to enjoy a rare day of three good martinis with Jim.

Join Jim and Greg as they look at how the GOP's odds for a U.S. Senate majority seem to be improving, how Tim Walz was a massive failure on COVID deaths in nursing homes and much more, and how Chuck Schumer utterly failed to do his most important job - but will still emerge as a winner.

And several...

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Gov. Ron DeSantis for his deeper explanation for why Florida definitely needs to be conducting its own investigation into this past weekend's attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

First, they agree with Gov. DeSantis that state officials do need to be...

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss many Hezbollah figures being injured by exploding pagers, Hillary Clinton demanding a more negative media "narrative" about Donald Trump, and the Teamsters Union on the brink of an endorsement. First, they marvel once again at the ingenuity of (probably) Israeli operatives getting explosives into pagers, the pagers into the hands of thousands of Hezbollah figures, and then detonating them simultaneously. It's the latest in a very creative summer for Israeli...

But some frustrating...

Join Jim and Greg as they close the week with an important correction from Thursday's edition,  strong thoughts on Trump's rejection of another debate and the questionable characters in his inner circle, and startling indications that the performance of the Secret Service on the day of the Trump assassination attempt was even worse than we thought.
