Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they break down President Trump’s call for a new census, the Associated Press portraying terrorists as sympathetic victims, and James Carville’s idea of “saving democracy” through undemocratic means.

First, they size up President Trump's call for a new census to be taken that does not include people in the U.S. illegally. Given the huge undertaking of the census, Jon and Greg suggest making sure the 2030 census makes that distinction. They also note that Trump tried to include a citizenship question in the 2020 census but was blocked by the courts.

Next, they hammer the Associated Press for publishing a sympathetic piece on Hezbollah terrorists injured in last year’s Israeli pager bombings. The AP even explicitly laments that one Hezbollah terrorist "realizes it's impossible now to find a role alongside Hezbollah fighters" after being blinded by his exploding pager. How did we get to the point where the AP wants us to be sad that this guy can't try to kill Jews anymore?

Finally, longtime left-wing political strategist James Carville says that democracy is in danger. So if Democrats win control of the White House, the House, and the Senate in 2028, he wants them to unilaterally add states and pack the Supreme Court. You know, to save democracy. Jon has a far less dramatic suggestion for Democrats.
