3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Join Jim and Greg as they did into three major stories and parental discretion is advised on the first one.First, they react to the initial revelations of Jeffrey Epstein's contacts, what it means and doesn't mean about their conduct, and the many important questions about Epstein that remain unanswered.Then they hammer Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas for suggesting the record number of illegal immigrants is due to climate change, poverty, and authoritarianism in other nations - not the failed policies that triggered this wave of humanity since day one of this administration.Finally, President Biden prepares to make his re-election campaign about him being the only one who can save our democracy - at the very same time Democrats in multiple states are refusing to hold primaries and denying Biden's challengers and voters a chance their shot at a democratic outcome.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

After no good martinis to kick off the year on Tuesday, Jim and Greg have two on tap for today!First, they welcome the resignation of Harvard University Pres. Claudine Gay following scandals over her congressional testimony about speech advocating genocide on campus plus dozens of examples of plagiarism in her academic work. They also get a good laugh as CNN wears out its Thesaurus trying to defend Pres. Gay's academic work.Then they dissect new poll numbers showing President Biden at just 38 percent approval and doing very poorly among Hispanics and young adults. Jim explains why Gen Z and some millennials are fed up with Biden.Finally, another year and another round of indictments for New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez. This time the allegations concern his relationship with Qatar but there are still gold bars involved. Jim wonders why so so few Democrats are doing much of anything to force Menendez out of office or at least off of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which has access to classified information.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Happy New Year! Well, after nearly two weeks since our last regular episode, we have found nothing resembling a good martini. Not the greatest omen for 2024. But we do have three important bad martinis, at least one of which has a whole lot of crazy to it as well.First, they weigh in on the Maine Secretary of State unilaterally deciding that former President Trump is disqualified from this year's primary ballot. Plus, they respond to Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin - himself an election denier in 2016 - stating that Justice Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from any decisions on Trump's ballot access and hinting that there may be consequences if he doesn't.They're also disgusted (but not at all surprised) that Congress spent $7.5 billion to produce 500,000 electric vehicle chargers and so far, it either has one or none to show for it. Jim also breaks down how this is another example of how why free market is far better than central planning.Finally, Jim details the shady decision by a Biden official to overrule the unanimous recommendation to build the new FBI headquarters in Virginia and award it to Maryland instead.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite
