In a statement penned Tuesday, Washington Post senior managing editor Cameron Barr stepped up to defend hypocritical malefactor Taylor Lorenz after she doxed the owner of the Libs of TikTok Twitter account, including her identity and address, all because she exposed the lunatics, groomers, and general extremists of the left. And rightfully, there was a great public outcry against the paper.
Laughably calling Lorenz an “accomplished and diligent journalist,” Barr said her “reporting methods comport entirely with The Washington Post’s professional standards.” But in the rest of the statement, Barr spewed lies to cover for Lorenz’s disgusting style of muckraking. He falsely claimed the identity of the account holder
Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night wondered aloud why Taylor Lorenz, the author of a Washington Post story earlier in the day on the popular Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok, isn’t registered as a foreign agent.
In the piece, the reporter makes note of findings from software developer Travis Brown that helped her reveal the account’s creator, Brooklyn-based real estate agent Chaya Raichik. Specifically, Brown uncovered deleted tweets from the account, including those in which Raichik claimed she attended the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Brown, Lorenz notes, receives support from the German-based Prototype Fund. The fund, according to its website,
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is willing to invest up to $15 billion of his own cash to take Twitter private and will make a bid within 10 days, according to Tuesday reports. The New York Post reported Tuesday that Musk, with a 9.1% stake in the social media company, has tapped Morgan Stanley to help raise an additional $10 billion. (Photo) Musk’s massive $43 billion bid to purchase the company – or $54.20 per share – may require borrowing against both the company and his stock in addition to raising money from private equity investors, The Post reported, citing two sources close to the situation.
The New York Post published an opinion column on Easter Sunday highlighting a “fresh face of the Republican Party, promoting business innovation as well as embracing minority groups. Fans are buzzing that he could be a potential presidential candidate.” This extravagantly praised celebrity, Mayor Francis Suarez of Miami, is a favorite of “the young” and “one of the top Republican contenders to watch in 2024 and 2028, with rumors that he might join Nikki Haley’s presidential ticket if she runs or even emerge as a presidential candidate himself,” according to commentator Jacquelyn Powers Maurice.The major strength of Suarez, the son of a Cuban-born former mayor of Miami,

After Taylor Lorenz doxed Libs of Tik Tok in the pages of the Washington Post, that paper released a statement defending the doxing, and defending Lorenz's journalistic standards. They also lied, claiming that Lorenz had not published the home address of the Libs of Tik Tok account holder, when in fact, she had. The article was later scrubbed to purge those details, but they were there when the article was published at 6 am on Tuesday. They wrote that Lorenz, who cried on MSNBC after getting mean tweets and then blasted MSNBC for interviewing her at all since it led to even more mean tweets, "is an accomplished journalist."
Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake recently appeared on Real America with Dan Ball to discuss the invasion of our southern border in Arizona, where thousands are pouring into our country each day. The Gateway Pundit reported that massive waves of illegal immigrants are preparing to storm the southern border when Joe Biden ends the Trump-era Title 42 on May 23. 18,000 people per day or over 500,000 per month are expected to invade the United States. Many of these people are dangerous criminals and victims of human trafficking.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that “weirdos” are “becoming a majority” in the Republican Party.When asked about Mitch McConnell, Carville said, “Of course, this party, about a third of them are puling for Russia.

These are people that talk about testicle tanning.
Can Biden Buy Votes With Student Debt Relief? The 2020 Democratic presidential primary race was a bidding war in which the various candidates advocated spending trillions of dollars to enact sweeping progressive agendas. Some agendas were a bit more sweeping than others, but they all amounted to unprecedented increases in federal spending. Take the issue of student loans. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the most progressive of the contenders, wanted to cancel all $1.6 trillion in student debt — just throw out all student loans for 40-plus million people and somehow make Wall Street pay for it. Sen. Elizabeth Warren pledged to forgive everyone's student loans up to $50,000.

A mask off Jack Dorsey went after CNN in a series of tweets in which the Twitter founder accused the legacy media network of deliberately creating division in society.

Forty years ago we had a soaring inflation rate, obscene gas prices and interest rates in the teens.
Today, thanks to their incredible incompetence, bad policies and serial stupidity, the Democrats in Washington are bringing back all those problems.
It’s getting so bad, I’m actually beginning to think Jimmy Carter was not such a bad president after all.
People under 40 have no idea how bad things were in the late 1970s under Carter.
They’ve grown up knowing only 3 percent interest rates, dirt cheap gasoline and 2 percent inflation.
They don’t know how miserable things were under Carter or how miserable they can get again under Biden.
The U.S. Department of Justice says it will appeal a ruling that eliminated COVID-19 mask mandates for public transportation if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) deems it necessary.

It's tempting for Americans to get smug about the sinking of the Moskva, the Russian Navy's flagship in the Black Sea. Whether it was destroyed by Ukrainians or — less plausibly — sunk because of a non-combat onboard explosion of ammunition, the result is both a humiliation and a setback for Vladimir Putin's war efforts. If you're cheering Ukraine's defenders, it's hard not to take some satisfaction in that.
But America's fleet might also be more vulnerable than you think.
“My last day on Twitter … I’m logging off.”
What sane Twitter user hasn’t said this a hundred times?
But on Monday, it came from the unlikeliest of sources: Chris Licht, who is about to take over Jeff Zucker’s old role as head of CNN. Though Twitter has long become the go-to for journalists both absorbing and distributing information, the new honcho at one of the nation’s top outlets seems to believe the echo-chamber nature of the platform has become too much of a downside to carry on.
“May 2 will be my first official day in the office at CNN & my last day on Twitter,” he tweeted Monday morning.
You knew this would happen. A federal judge struck down Biden’s handlers’ mask mandate, and now the true mask believers are sure that we are all doomed, doomed, I tell you. The sky is falling because they’re not wearing masks on airplanes, and civilization as we know it, such as it is, is coming to a rapid end, not that we will see its end because we will all be dead. Republican operative Jake Schneider tweeted: “Delta just announced on my flight masks are now Optional!! I’m going to DC, so I was the only one clapping.” And indeed, numerous Leftists were enraged.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) failed to kill a lawsuit looking to stop her from running for Congress again, with a federal judge ruling the legal challenge can proceed on Monday. A group of Georgia voters is trying to block what would be Greene's first re-election bid over her 'support' for the January 6 Capitol riot. In a legal challenge filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, voters claimed Greene violated a provision of the U.S. Constitution passed after the Civil War known as the 'Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause.' The measure was passed to keep people who had fought with the Confederacy from holding federal office.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that Florida will seek ways to hold Twitter's board of directors "accountable" over their response to billionaire Elon Musk's bid to take the company private.
"The state of Florida, in our pension system, we have shares of Twitter," DeSantis said during a press conference. "I didn't buy it. We have people that run the fund, but nevertheless, it hasn't been great in return on investment. It's been pretty stagnant for many, many years." "To me, I think that's probably an injury to the fund, so we're gonna be looking at ways that the state of Florida, potentially, can be holding this Twitter board of directors accountable
At Politico Derek Robertson has asserted that the GOP’s fight with Disney is proof that the culture has passed the party by. Whether he’s being dishonest or is simply that out of touch, the world Robertson is imagining is nowhere near reality.
“Disney has always been an explicitly morally instructive company,” Robertson informs us, acting baffled that the GOP would “demonize one of America’s most beloved and trusted corporations.” Never mind that this “morally instructive” and “beloved and trusted” corporation thanked Chinese officials involved in genocide in Xinjiang, or that a Trafalgar poll showed that Disney pushing sexual ideas in children’s entertainment is very unpopular.
President Joe Biden's Education Department again moved to ease the burden of U.S. student loans on Tuesday, with the federal government claiming its latest reforms will wipe out debts for 40,000 such borrowers and bring 3.6 million Americans closer to ending their payments.Education Secretary Miguel Cardona called the current system a 'life sentence' for millions of low-income borrowers and pledged to correct 'historical failures' that have plagued repayment schemes like the income-driven repayment program (IDR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF).
Borrowers working as public servants are eligible for forgiveness under PSLF once they’ve made 10 years of qualifying payments.

In a world where content is king, I’m always appreciative of those who give me something to talk about, whether it’s for an article or for the live stream.
The account “Libs of TikTok” is a treasure trove of content that gathers and posts bizarre videos from radical leftists and protected groups that fall under their intersectional umbrella. They don’t edit it in any way, they just rip and post. The most they add is a little blurb for the tweet.
They don’t need to add anything, anyway. The content speaks for itself as you can see. The “Libs of TikTok” account became wildly popular doing something that you’d think was counter-intuitive,

Politico Playbook reports that the White House is weighing its options in the case holding its mask mandate to be illegal.

Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz exposed the identity behind the “Libs of Tik Tok” Twitter account in an article that widely characterized exposure of questionable school policy and problematic teacher-student interactions as “anti-LGBT.”Rather than grapple with the issues the account brought to light — some of which resulted in discipline of teachers — Lorenz drew on interviews from transgender left-wing activists at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the left-wing organization Media Matters, who predictably supported the narrative that exposing controversial classroom instruction to the public at large essentially amounts to bigotry for the transgender and gay community.

Joe Biden’s body is still warm, but the vultures in his own party are already picking at his carcass.
Somehow, all the grand plans, all the hopes and dreams of radicals, and all of the fantasies of Democratic partisans about creating an unbeatable, permanent Democratic coalition have fallen by the wayside, and a serious dose of political reality has smacked them all upside the head with a two-by-four. Democrats are currently engaged in a somewhat unseemly competition to see who ends up getting the blame for the failure of Biden’s agenda.

Despite his low approval rating, Biden believes he is the only Democrat who can defeat Donald Trump if he also decides to run, two sources told the Hill.

Republicans will dominate the midterms elections in November, reclaiming the House and Senate, Politico predicted Tuesday.

Politico predicts the House will “likely” flip to Republicans.

Sri Lanka, an island nation of 22 million people, is in the grips of an economic meltdown. This slow-motion train wreck first began in November 2019 when Gotabaya Rajapaksa won a decisive victory in the country’s presidential elections. He immediately placed family members into key government positions and suspended Parliament. Then in August 2020, his Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna party — the Sri Lanka People’s Front — posted a landslide victory. The win gave Rajapaksa the ability to amend the country’s constitution, which he quickly availed himself of. In total control, President Rajapaksa and his brother Mahinda, the prime minister, went on a spending spree

We see it ooze out of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) every time he comes within 50 yards of a television camera or microphone. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) can’t wait to accept invitations to appear on MSNBC or CNN to tell everyone how principled and strong she is. And Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) loves to preach to us about her affection for the decorum and traditions of the Senate, and we usually hear about it right around the time she’s getting ready to vote for a Democratic bill.
Remember this MSNBC segment on online harassment? MSNBC aired it less than two weeks ago. Washington Post tech reporter Taylor Lorenz claimed to have “severe PTSD” over online bullying and doxxing, which she claimed was aimed at her primarily because of her gender. Lorenz’ critics instead pointed to her long track record of targeting people for doxxing and generating cancel campaigns based on her biases and occasionally dishonest reporting:
“You feel like any little piece of information that gets out on you will be used by the worst people on the Internet to destroy your life,” Lorenz said while choking back tears, “and it’s so isolating.”
To this point, Joe Biden has danced around the idea of running for a second term. His handlers have indicated that he plans to while leaving the door open for other circumstances to arise. When the president himself has spoken on it, he’s been even vaguer, mentioning his health and suggesting that Donald Trump possibly running again would be a deciding factor. A firm commitment has been largely elusive.
According to The Hill, though, Biden has committed to staying in the game. The president made those comments to Barack Obama during the latter’s recent White House comeback tour. "President Biden has told former President Obama that he is planning to run
Disney execs worried that Tinker Bell and Captain Hook were “potentially problematic” during their review of content headed to the new Disney+ streaming service, the New York Times reports. The review is part of Disney’s “Stories Matter” initiative, a wide-ranging effort to bring more inclusion into the Disney-sphere. From the project’s website:
As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are in the process of reviewing our library and adding advisories to content that includes negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures.
Tinker Bell (yes, I thought it was one word too) raised concern because she is “body conscious”
The Hunter Biden coverup continues to unravel and, as it does, questions about the president's involvement become harder to dodge. Hunter's nefarious dealings with what at the time was China's largest energy company, CEFC, are well-documented, as are his questionable activities in Russia and Ukraine. The concept is known as influence peddling, a smarmy practice refined to an art form in "the swamp."
Hunter Biden's "take" from Russia while his father was vice president was reportedly at least $3.5 million, for which he did nothing but be Joe Biden's son. Now, Joe Biden is president of the United States
The U.S. government will no longer conduct anti-satellite missile tests, making it the first nation to enact such a ban, Vice President Harris announced Monday. The Biden administration is setting the self-imposed ban as part of a goal to make it an 'international norm for responsible behavior in space,' Harris said. The new declaration comes after Russia in November conducted an anti-satellite missile test to destroy its Cosmos-1408 satellite, a soviet-era spacecraft that's been in orbit since the 1980s. The explosion generated a cloud of at least 1,500 pieces of trackable debris that threatened the International Space Station.

SOB’ Incident replies
Jen Psaki and Peter Doocy clashed on Monday in the first White House press briefing following the infamous ‘stupid SOB’ incident between the media adversaries. Watch: (Video) “Why is it that we can sit here in the white house briefing room with no masks, but people can’t sit in an airplane cabin with no masks?” Doocy asked in reference to the national mask mandate being struck down in a federal court in Florida on Monday.“Well, Peter, I’m not a doctor,” she said condescendingly. “You’re not a doctor that I’m aware of. If you’re a doctor, I wasn’t aware of that today until today. Okay. Not a doctor.
The Transportation Administration on Monday afternoon announced it will no longer be enforcing Biden’s mask mandate after a federal judge declared it unlawful.
United Airlines, Delta, Alaska, American and Southwest on Monday immediately dropped all mask requirements shortly after a federal judge struck down Biden’s mask mandate.A Delta flight attendant broke into tears as she got to take off her mask for the first time in two years.
Travelers celebrated Monday by whipping off their face coverings and cheering after a White House official said that passengers on planes, trains and busses can finally shed their masks after more than two years.The news came immediately following a federal ruling out of Florida that struck down the public transit mask mandate, which had recently been extended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).The ruling by US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, appeared to free operators to make their own decisions about mask requirements. She said the CDC had failed to justify its 'unlawful' mask policy, stretched the meaning of 'sanitation'
The world’s richest man said that he doesn’t own a home and sleeps in his friends’ spare bedrooms for the most part.
In a recent interview with TED’s Chris Anderson, Elon Musk says he has resorted to couch surfing.
“I don’t even own a place right now, I’m literally staying at friends’ places,” explained Musk, whose estimated net worth is $269.5 billion, according to Forbes.
“If I travel to the Bay Area, which is where most of Tesla’s engineering is, I basically rotate through friends’ spare bedrooms,” the father-of-seven added.
Why Mitch McConnell?
replies
If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a million times: 80-year-old Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell is the indispensable man. McConnell’s indispensability, we’re told, stems from his skill shepherding Republican judicial nominees through the process and onto the federal bench. Alternatively, McConnell’s mastery of Senate rules keeps more than a few Democrats off the bench. This is practically lore among Republicans.
But McConnell’s prowess is overstated. As the saying goes, graveyards are full of indispensable men. Okay, give McConnell his due. He’s been an effective manager, advancing and opposing judicial nominations.

Black Lives Matter is dusting off its flags and signs and once again stopping traffic to honor the latest moron who chose to ignore the cops and got himself shot.
Patrick Lyoya, a black man, was pulled over because the car he was driving had the wrong license plate, which is frequently indicative of a stolen car. Lyoya ignored over a dozen police commands, including one telling him to get back in his car, stop resisting, and drop the police officer’s taser, which he had wrestled away from a Grand Rapids, Mich., policeman. At one point, the police officer was on top of Lyoya, who was on his hands and knees,

In today’s installment of Diversity Makes America Stronger, a gentleman attempted to smuggle several pounds of well-done bat steaks into the country by cramming them into his luggage. The traveler, who was returning from a trip to Ghana, made sure to pack plenty of sides along with his protein; 12 pounds of tetrapleura (a fruit primarily used as a spice), eggplants, and turkey berries (pea-sized yellow and green berries) were packed as well.
On April 5, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents noticed an incriminating bat skeleton in a routine scan of the man’s luggage and pulled it aside for a closer look.

Maxine Waters as Ranking Members Under
House Majority replies
House Republicans are considering term limits for committee chairmen and ranking members, a move that could curb many influential Democrats’ power under a potential Republican House majority.
House Republicans already have term limits within the GOP Conference, but adopting the potential rule could significantly curb many potential Democrat ranking members.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), the House Financial Services Committee chair since 2013, could no longer serve as the top-ranking Democrat on the committee.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) would no longer be the top Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee; he has served as the top Democrat on the committee since 2005.
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ),
