Clip of the day:

Daily Wire @realDailyWire

Doocy: "Classified materials next to your Corvette? What were you thinking?" Biden: "My Corvette is in a locked garage." Doocy: "So they were sitting there in a locked garage." Biden: "Yes, as well as my Corvette."

More Classified Documents

Another batch of classified documents belonging to Joe Biden during his time in the Obama administration was found at a second location according to one source who spoke to NBC on the condition of anonymity. The White House issued a statement.

Details: There aren’t many. We don’t know the number of documents or the classification level of the documents. What we do know is the documents were discovered in the garage of one of Biden’s two homes in Deleware. The Biden team tried to reassure everyone the documents were really safe because "it was a locked garage." Yikes. Go read the original story from NBC.

Flashback: After classified documents were discovered at Mar-A-Lago, Biden told Scott Pelley: “How that could possibly happen, how anyone could be that irresponsible?”

Gas Stoves

The failed attempt from the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ban gas stoves relied on data that was deeply, deeply skewed. In short, the commission claimed gas stoves were unsafe due to harmful emissions based on a study that tested a stove in an uninsulated kitchen wrapped in plastic sheets. Go read this wild Twitter thread:

Steve Everley @saeverley

How did they arrive at that conclusion? The environment they created involved encasing a kitchen in plastic sheets, removing any ventilation, and then turning on the gas. No, really. From the study itself. 13/x pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

This did not stop CNN’s resident climate alarmist from claiming a gas stove is as dangerous as inhaling the fumes from a parked car.

Tom Elliott @tomselliott

CNN's @BillWeirCNN: "The science is showing us having a gas stove, in a small apartment especially with bad ventilation, is like having a car idling there. If you have young kids, it can affect cognitive abilities, as well as asthma."

Axios Goes After Pete Buttigieg

Two writers at Axios did not hold back in chronicling the disastrous reign of Pete Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary. Here’s the paragraph that matters:

A historic string of air, rail and supply-chain meltdowns has plagued Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's first two years in office, placing him — for better or worse — at the center of crises affecting millions of people.

Nadler on the bill to ban killing babies born alive: "The problem with this bill is that it endangers some infants [born alive] by stating that that infant must immediately be brought to the hospital."

Pete Buttigieg couldn't organize a one-car funeral. He was never remotely qualified for this role.
