Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report
The White House didn't comment Monday on why President Biden was not invited to Barack Obama's sixtieth birthday party. He'd just steal the show. At Obama's fiftieth birthday party in the White House ten years ago, when they lit the candles on the cake Joe recited the story of Hanukkah.

NBC's broadcast of the Summer Olympics in Japan began to draw bigger TV ratings this week as the public became familiar with some of the athletes. All the trans-genders in the Games have given little girls who want to grow up to achieve Olympic stardom a new motto to live by. Grow a pair.

New Zealand transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard was gracious to the IOC, to Japan and to her fans after she failed all three lifts with the whole world watching. Social media won't tolerate any observation unless it's serious. Well, I don't know about Laurel, she looks more like Hardy to me.

Fox News interviewed House Republicans who demand to learn all that's on Hunter Biden's laptop, suspecting it'll reveal shady business deals with his father and uncle. Do the Bidens ever take one day off? Hunter's love child is only two years old and already she's on the USC rowing team.

President Biden's poll numbers slipped as the mood sours over the border and mask mandates but people still appreciate the peace and quiet from the White House. Electing a guy with Donald Trump's personality as the president is like marrying a nymphomaniac. It's fun for about two weeks.

Governor Cuomo was questioned for hours over sex harassment charges. He has responded to accusations he gave unwanted hugs the same way he'd answer if accused of beheading a movie studio owner's horse. He said Italians are emotional people who like to express themselves physically.

Olympic gymnast Simone Biles sat in the stands and cheered her team to victory in Japan this past week. Simone showed tremendous courage by stepping down from the very top because her mental state isn't quite right. People magazine just named her least Likely Ever to Become President.
