Few sci-fi films quite captured the zeitgeist like seminal 1987 film "RoboCop." (Few films have been as prescient either, given the state of Detroit in both the movie and in real life.) The film, which is about a fatally injured police officer given a second lease on life thanks to...

Tim Walz went to the Minnesota-Michigan game yesterday. He took in the action from a suite along with former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who wanted to go door-to-door taking everyone’s guns in Texas. He must have a suicidal streak. The 12th-ranked defending champions came away with a 27-24 victory.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went after CNN’s Jake Tapper during an interview over the weekend for criticizing former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric against Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail. Tapper specifically honed in on Trump calling Harris “mentally impaired” during a campaign rally. “Kamala is mentally impaired. Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way,” Trump said. “If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country.” Tapper said that Trump was “insulting” people who had mental impairments and claimed “Vice President Kamala Harris is not mentally impaired.” Graham explained that Trump was simply calling Harris a “crazy liberal” and then proceeded to highlight numerous examples of how far-Left and disastrous she has been, including the devastation that has come from her being put in charge of the border, her refusing to show up to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in the U.S., the withdraw from Afghanistan, Medicare for All, Green New Deal, and other “crazy stuff.” “I’m not saying she’s crazy,” Graham said. “I’m saying your party, your policies are bats*** crazy.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Well, they’re not my policies,” Tapper responded. “I will just say, she didn’t boycott Netan…” “She didn’t show up,” Graham fired back. Tapper tried to change the subject, saying: “But let’s focus on Trump’s rhetoric, because that’s what I’m actually asking you about, because…” “The problems with the world are not Trump’s rhetoric. They call him crazy,” Graham noted. “Pelosi wanted to invoke the 25th Amendment. Why don’t you ever talk about that?” Tapper completely ignored Graham calling him out over his pro-Democrat/anti-Republican bias and moved on. WATCH: “I’m not saying she’s crazy.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said during an interview over the weekend that Israel needed to finish off Hezbollah for good, even if it means invading southern Lebanon. The senator made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” while discussing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killing Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a targeted airstrike late last week. “I’m not sure that Israel is expanding the war so much as it is trying to end the war. I think it’s important to stress just sort of how huge a blow the last two weeks have been against Hezbollah,” he said. “Israel has absolutely devastated the entire leadership structure of Hezbollah — whether it’s at the attacks that came just late last week, killing not only Hassan Nasrallah and all the other leaders, or some of their other actions, or hitting their weapons depots and manufacturing sites in Syria. Now is not the time for a ceasefire or to de-escalate, as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want.” “Hezbollah is on its knees,” he continued. “The United States should help Israel drive Hezbollah to the mat and choke it out and finish it off once and for all. That means for the first time in decades, Iran would be exposed on its flanks with no terror proxy capable of devastating Israel or our troops and our friends in the region. That’s what we should do. Not demand that we have a cease fire. De-escalate at a time when Israel is trying to win. We should let Israel win.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! When asked if he would support Israel invading southern Lebanon to push Hezbollah back to create a buffer zone so Israeli civilians can return to their homes, he said yes. “If that’s what Israel needs to do to eliminate the remnants of Hezbollah’s leadership and its arsenal, then yes, of course,” he said. Cotton also addressed the hundreds of attacks that U.S. forces have faced in the region over the last year from Iranian-backed terrorist groups, saying that it was a direct result of the Biden-Harris administration’s weakness. “There’s been continued attacks on us again — just like we should support Israel in striking back against these terrorists, we should be striking back harder again,” he said. “But that’s not Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s policy. From the very beginning, they’ve appeased and conciliated the ayatollahs. Kamala Harris, for instance, opposed Donald Trump’s strike that killed Iran’s terrorist mastermind in 2020.” “Over the last four years, they’ve given away tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief,” he continued. “They’ve looked the other way as Iran violates sanctions. They’ve continually put more pressure on Israel than they put on Iran’s terrorist proxy. That’s why Kamala Harris is the Ayatollah’s handpicked candidate, and while the ayatollahs are hacking into Donald Trump’s campaign and trying to kill him.” WATCH:

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) ripped Vice President Kamala Harris over the chaos that the Biden-Harris administration has unleashed not only on the rest of the world, but also domestically with its disastrous immigration policy. Cotton made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” while discussing new numbers that were released last week by federal immigration officials about the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. who have been convicted of specific crimes. “I just want to say, the chaos that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have unleashed across this world isn’t limited to the other side of the world. It happens right here,” Cotton said. “The administration just acknowledged that they released more than 13,000 convicted murderers who illegally entered this country. More than 15,000 convicted sex offenders.” “That’s 28,000 rapists and murderers who illegally entered our country who Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have let roam our streets,” he continued. “That’s the kind of chaos that they have unleashed for the last four years, and that Donald Trump will put an end to.” Fill-in host Robert Costa immediately changed the subject, pivoting to former President Donald Trump not wanting to engage in any further debates with Harris. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “I think [the voters] deserve to hear a lot more from Kamala Harris, because she’s been lying to them for the last three months,” Cotton said. “If you look at her record, she’s been trying to run. She’s been trying to run away from it from the very moment she took the nomination from Joe Biden. She wants to ban gas powered cars. She wants to give reparations based on race. She wants to ban fracking. She wants to take away private health insurance on the job. These are not positions that she took as a teenager in high school. These are positions she took as a 54-year-old woman running for president in her own right.” WATCH: The chaos that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have unleashed isn’t limited to the other side of the world.
