Stewart Skewers Biden and Trump
Jon Stewart returned to Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” Monday night immediately mocking President Biden and former President Trump for a shared problem.
Minutes into his opening monologue Jon Stewart criticized President Biden and former President Trump for one of the biggest issues this election year. “They are the oldest people ever to run for president — breaking by only four years the record that they set!” Stewart returned to Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” after a nine-year hiatus with his usual and acerbic wit. “I think we’ve got a new name for our election coverage: Indecision 2024, Antiques Roadshow.” Stewart agreed to host the show Monday nights through the 2024 election.

Military Veterans Helped Storm the Capitol
Another U.S. military veteran identified as one of the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol.
A rioter seen in photos and video wearing military gear on the Senate floor during the assault on the Capitol is identified as retired Air Force lieutenant colonel Larry Rendall Brock, Jr. of Texas. Brock confirmed to the New Yorker Friday he’s the man in those photos. The FBI and police are determined to arrest the rioters but military veterans who took part in the siege may also face charges from the Pentagon.

The woman shot and killed by police during the attack, Ashli Babbit, was also an Air Force veteran.
