Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi was arrested late Saturday night alone in his car in Napa Valley for driving under the influence of alcohol. When questioned, Nancy said it's a family matter and refused comment. He's asked the judge for six months in jail with no visitation rights.

L.A. Museum is displaying magazine ads from the 1890s for patent medicine such as Cocaine Cough Drops, Coca Wine, Opium Cough Syrup and Bayer's Heroin. We were so high in that decade we conquered Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines in one month. Never say we can't win a War on Drugs.

The Consumer Price Index rose faster than forecasts in April indicating that inflation is going to persist and cut into retail sales and discretionary spending. Inflation forces everyone to cut corners where they can. This year, I saved fifteen percent on car insurance by leaving the scene of the accident.

The Huffington Post reported on a study that characterized the Millennial generation as spoiled, lazy, entitled and failures at adulting. My neighbor here in West Hollywood is a Millennial and he lost his parents when he was twelve years old. They never should have threatened to turn off the Internet.

President Biden demanded Congress pass stricter gun control laws Thursday to try to reduce the plague of gun violence. Biden's energy policy is already making a difference.

President Biden flew to Uvalde, Texas on Sunday to speak with family members of the shooting victims and visit the school and attend Mass in the local Catholic Church there. The sermon clearly moved him. Biden felt so bad for the kids in Uvalde, he's letting the town have a case of baby formula.

Fox News interviewed parents in Uvalde whose sadness over the school shooting has turn to rage over the one hour the police waited in the hallway before confronting the shooter. It's inexplicable. I don't want to say that Texans are angry but ten bucks says the next sheriff of Uvalde is Kyle Rittenhouse.

Governor Greg Abbott ripped Uvalde police for waiting around in the hall for an hour during the school shooting before a Border Patrol agent arrived and killed the shooter. It's just insane. Have you ever seen a police department that was so determined not to let anything interfere with their lunch hour?

Winnie the Pooh, due to an expiration of copyright law, was co-opted by a low budget Hollywood producer and now Winnie the Pooh will be seen starring in a slasher horror movie. Let's hope they don't put the bear in an erotic movie next. No one wants to see Pooh in bed, unless you're Amber Heard.
