C&L's Late Nite Music Club: Mozart: The Magic Flute - Queen Of The Night

When I first heard this aria, it knocked me down. ClassicFM: " Known in German as 'Der Hölle Rache', this is an utterly stunning aria of vocal power and virtuosity from Mozart's late opera The Magic Flute. It's written for dramatic coloratura soprano and demands huge range and vocal might, as well as colour and agility. Listen out for vicious long runs and famous staccato notes up to a top F as the mother of the opera's heroine, Pamina, vents her considerable rage."

Pete Kegseth is going to need an extra shot of tequila tonight to soothe his hurt fee fees after losing a big court case today regarding press access to the Pentagon. Here is what happened: In October 2025, Hegseth attempted to force news organizations to sign some sort of document related to their reporting, effectively limiting what they could say, even if the information was unclassified. That was a huge departure from previous administrations.

Ron Johnson: Mullin Has Succeeded In Life. He Owns A Ranch.

Sen. Ron Johnson appeared on NewsNation to speak with Chris Cuomo about whether Markwayne Mullin is qualified to be Secretary of Homeland Security. RoJo's logic was still the same twisted thinking that he applies to everything: CUOMO: I respect that he's an artisan, I respect that he's an entrepreneur, and I respect that he's a pugilist. However, being a good guy is not enough when it comes to running a government agency.

Duffy Gets Confused And Gets In The Wrong Lane

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went on CNBC to talk about something, but exactly what isn't clear. But Democrats, what they really want is they want T.S.A. agents to take their masks off, right?

GOP Senators Nearly FIGHT In Homeland Security Hearing

Without a doubt, Donald Trump and MarkWayne Mullin are...well, let's back up a sec. I was on Tequila Talk, my show every Thurs, 6pm et w/ Joe Walsh. We both love tequila, so we spend Thurs Happy Hour getting folks thru another Trump week. With MAGA mockery, some tequila, a righteous rant or 3. The tequila we choose has symbolism. I chose Espelon this week: "Espolón's name comes from the 'spur' on the back of the rooster's leg. Espolón has a rooster icon.. ." So..bone spur on the leg of a cock--or rooster--strutting around, chest puffed, talking tough on Iran or Teamsters. Underneath? Dumber-than-dirt cowards.

Sen Ron Johnson was being the good little tool that he is and argued for the SAVE Trump's Ass From The Epstein Files Act when he inadvertently said the quiet part out loud: They said it wasn't a legitimate election when Donald Trump first got elected. Four years later, tables were turned. All of a sudden, the other half of America was saying it's not a legitimate election.
