In case you haven't heard yet, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy appointed 5 idiot GQP House members to Nancy Pelosi's January 6 "Hang Mike Pence" investigative committee.

Two of them wouldn't certify the 2020 presidential election results. Maybe it was three. I don't remember. Look it up!

Nancy was having NONE of it. She rejected two of them.

So Kevin decided to take his one remaining ball left and went home.

He pulled all five of them. The commish is now left with ONE Republican, Liz Cheney, a very vocal opponent of #TFG.

Should be interesting to see how this plays out. McCarthy has vowed to do "their own investigation."

Kind of like OJ Simpson looking into who killed Nicole and Ron.

Eric Clapton is an idiot. That's the news. Oh, you want to know why?

Well, first off, he's a fucking racist. But that's not his latest revelation. He's an anti-vaxxer now and has vowed to cancel any show where guests are required to show proof of vaccination.

This is a guy who said years before COVID-19 (you know, it happened in 2019) that he suffered debilitating nerve damage that almost forced him to quit playing.

The he got vaccinated (yay!) and had a bad reaction (boo!)...that caused him to almost quit playing.

(Could it have been that his immune system is really messed up after DECADES of abuse? Nah.)

Anywhoo...

 Eric Clapton Will Not Play Shows Where Proof of Vaccine Is Required

Eric Clapton said he will not perform at any venues that require attendees to prove that they’ve been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Clapton issued his statement in response to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement on Monday, July 19th, that vaccine passes would be required to enter nightclubs and venues. Clapton’s statement was shared via the Telegram account of film producer and architect Robin Monotti, who has also been skeptical of the Covid-19 vaccine and expressed other doubts about the U.K. government’s response to the pandemic. (Clapton previously shared a message about his “disastrous” health experience after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine on Monotti’s Telegram page.)

“Following the PM’s announcement on Monday the 19th of July 2021 I feel honor-bound to make an announcement of my own,” Clapton said. “I wish to say that I will not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present. Unless there is provision made for all people to attend, I reserve the right to cancel the show.”

I'm sorry that he had a bad reaction. But he's being irresponsible, which is nothing new for him.
