Al Gore accosts Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after Trump official's Davos speech
[NY Post] "You're ruining mah grift!"
Former Vice President Al Gore
…I had no idea he was still alive and active. What do his speeches earn nowadays?
briefly accosted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after the Trump official’s speech on the sidelines of this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, The Post has learned.

During a Tuesday VIP dinner hosted by billionaire BlackRock boss Larry Fink, where several hundred people were invited,
…it was an intimate affair…
Lutnick delivered a speech that was fiercely critical of European allies.

When he stepped offstage, Gore walked up to him and said, "Boo" — like he was trying to scare him, a source told The Post.
In some circles that would count as clever repartee.
Lutnick laughed and someone at the event remarked, "What an honor to have Al Gore boo," according to an insider.

The ex-veep confirmed he’d disliked the speech.

"I sat and listened to his remarks," the avid environmentalist told The Post in a statement.

"I didn’t interrupt him in any way. It’s no secret that I think this administration’s energy policy is insane. And at the end of his speech I reacted with how I felt, and so did several others."
Does he yet realize he was wrong in every single particular, and in general as well?

#3  Al can climb back under his bridge and await the arrival of the Billy Goats Gruff.

His propaganda will draw comparisons to iconic films like "Leni" Riefenstahl‘s Triumph of the Will and D. W. Griffith‘s Birth of a Nation in historical texts about this era.

#7  I think the WEF party planners should be a bit more selective when sending invitations.

#8  al-Gore, a former Nobel laureate. Uh, yeah. And what about that 10 feet of water in NYC? You can't make this stuff up.

'Squad' Dems join GOP to advance contempt resolutions against Clintons in Epstein probe
[FoxNews] Republicans and Dems advance contempt resolutions after Clintons fail to appear for Epstein probe depositions.
I didn't expect a 34-9 bipartisan vote on criminal contempt of Congress charges being sent to the entire House for the Clinton's. It'll pass in the House and I doubt that either will say anything other then variations of "I don't recall" or "On the advice of counsel I take the 5th". I doubt Bill will care very much, but watching the Evil One being forced to testify under oath should be amusing.

We'll also see which Democrats gets primaried or have something worse happen to them for voting to put the Evil One and her husband in this position. /sarcasm, I think

#1  So Pam Bondi is really going to jail the Clintons for contempt of Congress?
Posted by: Super Hose || 01/22/2026 5:08 Comments || Top||

#2  Clinton's usefulness is over and they have become a liability for the political machine now so they are dead. Metaphorically or literally.

#3  I'm taking bets on which of The Squad the Hildabeast decides to "suicide" first

#4  I wish I could see the look on her face when she finally realizes she is no longer important and has no power.
