Posted By: Imright, 5/3/2024 10:43:32 AM
House Republicans have requested Katherine Maher, who became the CEO of National Public Radio (NPR) in March, provide testimony to Congress about the allegations of left-wing bias at the network, an invitation that could lead to a high-profile clash on Capitol Hill next week. Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) led a letter that was sent to Maher this week, asking the media executive to appear before the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee on May 8 to address claims related to NPR’s coverage of topics related to politics, COVID, transgender issues, audience figures, the network’s own level of diversity, and more.

This number doesn’t include the 14,000 illegal Haitian immigrants Massachusetts has funded since 2022.
On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Biden 2024 Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks stated that President Joe Biden will not accept violence or antisemitism and “believes in what these protesters are saying and he is working to bring peace to the Middle East and bring the situation to a close.”
Fulks said, “[W]hen it comes to this issue, I think it’s important to call out that the president has said, as you said, that he believes in the right for peaceful protest, but that political violence, antisemitism [are] not going to be accepted.

Khan defeated conservative mayoral candidate Susan Hall with an estimated 45.3 percent of the vote. The newly reelected mayor was roundly booed at his victory presser. “Khan killed London," one heckler shouted. But Mayor Khan, who is a member of the Labour Party, was unfazed.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you, London,” he responded amid the boos.
President Joe Biden’s seemingly unassailable “blue wall” appears to be crumbling in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s greatest political comeback in history.
The “blue wall” represents three battleground states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Biden must win these states to prevent Trump from winning reelection.The states are imperative for Biden due to Trump’s surge in the sunbelt states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. In those four states, Trump leads Biden between three and six points in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, FiveThirtyEight’s polling averages show.

During his opening monologue on Thursday night, Greg Gutfeld mocked Democrats and the city of New York for their sham case against Trump as only he can.
Greg spared no one, from Stormy Daniels to Michael Cohen and Joe Biden.
He made the point that New York City can’t keep violent criminals in jail but want to lock up Trump for talking about his case, while all the Trump-haters are allowed to say whatever they want. On Tuesday, Judge Merchan held Donald Trump in contempt of court and fined him $9,000 for violating a gag order. Trump should have reached into his wallet, grabbed the $9,000 in cash and thrown it
New York Police Department (NYPD) Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Tarik Sheppard told Fox News‘ Neil Cavuto on Thursday that pro-Palestinian “encampments” at many universities are run by “outside agitators” with funds from “around the world.”
Sheppard said that the NYPD was “very confident” that “outside agitators and influencers” have been present at protests in the city. Often, these “professionals” manage to escape arrest. “They may just fly in for a day or two, and leave,” he said, adding that they “travel around the country” between protests.(X Video) Sheppard added: “And they have funding. They are funded by private individuals around the world sometimes.”
President Joe Biden doled out Presidential Medals of Freedom Friday to a number of top Democrats - giving a special shout-out to former Vice President Al Gore for conceding his disputed 2020 election gracefully.
Of the 19 new recipients receiving the country's top civilian honor, five were party leaders: Gore, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep. Jim Clyburn - who single-handedly saved Biden's 2020 presidential run - and former New York City Michael Bloomberg.
Adding a big of glamour to the mix was Academy Award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian-American to receive an Oscar, Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky, who is set to compete
Sinister pro-Hamas flyers have emerged on the NYU campus amid fears over rampant anti-Semitism and threatening behavior at demonstrations.
Posters declaring 'Death to America' and 'Long live the intifada' have been plastered around the Manhattan college's Gaza encampment, days after over 100 protestors were arrested in furious clashes with the NYPD.
The police force shared images of the fliers on Friday, noting the 'inflammatory literature and signage' observed at the 'illegal encampment.'
Former President Donald Trump moves from the courtroom in New York City to the banquet rooms in South Florida on Friday, as he headlines a gathering of top Republican donors and teams up with potential running mates.
Trump starts his day in a Manhattan courtroom, where the former president is being tried on nearly three-dozen state felony charges for falsifying business records in relation to hush-money payments during the 2016 election he made to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair with the adult film actress.
Trump has repeatedly denied falsifying business records as well as the alleged sexual encounter with Daniels.
Elon Musk came to the defense of former President Donald Trump following an MSNBC interview with leftwing Hollywood tool Robert De Niro.
The interview, hosted by Stephanie Ruhle, saw the 80-year-old actor on an unhinged rant against Trump, likening his leadership to that of Hitler, a comparison Musk was quick to challenge.
De Niro, who is suffering from severe Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), argued that Trump exhibited traits dangerously similar to infamous dictators, like Hitler, claiming his re-election could lead to chaos akin to that seen in Nazi Germany.
The whole segment is an example of “leftwing propaganda churn” from legacy media.

Actor Jeff Daniels said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed midwesterners were done with former President Donald Trump’s “lack of decency.”
On the New York business document trial, Daniels said, “I know this is costing him where I live in Michigan. This is costing him votes.”
He continued, “There’s just a lack of decency that Donald has kind of hitched his wagon to. He keeps telling us these things. You know, I mean, I look at the trial every day, and you watch what happens in the trial, and then you watch him talk about it like it was an amazing day. No, it wasn’t. It really wasn’t.

A video of what is purported to be Ukrainian soldiers burning Donald Trump in effigy is causing quite a stir.
In the clip, three soldiers are seen standing with a cardboard Trump lookalike as they deliver a message directly to the former president, essentially threatening Trump’s life for opposing the war with Russia — the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee has boasted that he would end the conflict in 24 hours with a brokered peace deal.
“We address Donald Trump. Because of you b*****d President Zelenskyy couldn’t get any weapons. You will never be president again. You are a traitor. You will pay with your blood for what you did,”
Actor Robert De Niro said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” that former President Donald Trump’s rise was like that of Adolf Hitler’s in 1930s Germany.
De Niro said, “He is sick, he is genuinely a sick person that somehow has been allowed into our system. I’m not calling him names, he just can’t be anywhere near the office of the presidency.”
He continued, “I don’t understand it. I don’t I don’t think they understand how dangerous it will be if he ever, God forbid, becomes president. I don’t think they really understand. And historically, from what I see, even in Nazi Germany, they had it with Hitler.

Many on the left, including countless media organizations, keep trying to put lipstick on a pig and tell us it is Cindy Crawford. Yes, even today, some are characterizing President Biden as competent or even above average.
And then there is The New Republic. Proclaiming Biden to be a “great” president, as The New Republic recently did, is akin to saying Pete Buttigieg is a “great” Secretary of Transportation…as trains keep derailing, plane parts fall from the sky, and ports are closed due to errant container ships and bridge collapses. But, keep in mind, The New Republic is to journalism what White Castle is to haute cuisine.
Mark Hamill made a surprise visit to the White House press briefing room after meeting with President Joe Biden.
The Star Wars actor’s visit came a day before May the 4th, an annual day of celebration for the franchise.
“There’s no introduction that really is needed,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “I have a special guest, as you can see, Mark Hamill has decided to join us on this wonderful Friday. And, I am really excited to turn it over to Mr. Hamill.

Illegal immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will be granted access to health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, according to the White House.

Can the Current Universities Be Saved?

Elite higher education in America -- long unquestioned as globally preeminent -- is facing a perfect storm.
Fewer applicants, higher costs, impoverished students, collapsing standards, and increasingly politicized and mediocre faculty reflect a collapse of the university system. The country is waking up to the reality that a bachelor's degree no longer equates with graduates being broadly educated and analytical. Just as often, they are stereotyped as pampered, largely ignorant, and gratuitously opinionated.
No wonder polls show a drastic loss of public respect for higher education and, specifically, a growing lack of confidence in the professoriate.
