President Biden poked fun at his own low approval rating and called the Trump administration a 'horrible plague' as he cracked jokes and roasted the press at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner. 'Tonight, we come here to answer a very important question in everybody's mind. Why in hell are we still doing this?' Biden quipped as he took the stage in the room full of journalists and D.C. insiders. 'I know there are questions about whether we should gather here tonight because of COVID. Well, we're here to show the country that we're getting through this pandemic. Plus, everyone had to prove they're fully vaccinated and boosted,' he said.
Just how doomed are Democrats in November's midterms? It doesn't take a statistician to read the writing on the wall — inflation sitting at 40-year highs, gas reaching an all-time high, a woke Democrat-education complex running amok, and an open border that's triggered drug, humanitarian, and public health crises — and see that the party in power of the executive and legislative branches is in trouble. A new poll out from NPR and Marist shows just how bad Democrats are doing and among which groups their support is trailing GOP candidates by double-digits on the generic congressional ballot question that asks "If this year's election for Congress
A California Highway Patrol officer was shot Wednesday on a major freeway in San Diego, causing it to shut down, authorities said.
The incident happened around 6:15 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 8, located just under Interstate 805 in the Mission Valley area, Captain Michael Harris of CHP said during a press conference Wednesday evening.
The officer “was investigating a traffic collision when he became involved in a struggle with a pedestrian, resulting in a single gunshot,” Harris said.
Google Chrome has announced a significant update for its more than three billion users after detecting 30 security vulnerabilities on its browser — seven of which were deemed highly severe — just weeks after issuing an update for a zero-day vulnerability that hackers exploited.
The company issued a press release on April 26 announcing that it will promote Google Chrome 101.0.4951.41 in the coming days or weeks to the stable channel for Mac, Windows, and Linux, which will offer protection from the dozens of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) found on the browser, which Statista reports is used by 3.2 billion people.
On Saturday morning, The New York Times engaged in quite the hackery against Fox News' Tucker Carlson with "American Nationalist." It's not just a hit piece, but an entire series, written by Nicholas Confessore, who is also a commentator for MSNBC. That Confessore is so involved with a direct competitor of Fox News is not mentioned until more than halfway through the first part of the series, which by itself is over 8,000 words. A source close to the matter confirmed for Townhall that Confessore had been working on the piece for a year. Here's how it was referenced, close to 50 paragraphs into the story:
Vladimir Putin may soon vanish for a period as he is due to undergo surgery linked to cancer, according to a new claim.He has allegedly secretly nominated his hardline security council security secretary Nikolai Patrushev - a former KGB counterintelligence officer - to take “control” of Russia while he is incapacitated.Shadowy Patrushev, 70, is seen as a key architect of the Ukrainian war strategy and the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv was awash with neo-Nazis.The extraordinary unconfirmed claims come from General SVR Telegram channel, which first raised issues of Putin’s health - including abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s - some 18 months ago.
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey claimed the company reinstated the New York Post’s account “almost immediately,” despite the fact the account was suspended for 16 days after reporting on the contents of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop from hell.After a short-lived hiatus from the app, Dorsey took to Twitter to take responsibility for instances in which Twitter “went too far.”“I have tried taking a break from Twitter recently, but I must say: the company has always tried to do its best given the information it had. Every decision we made was ultimately my responsibility*,”
Over the centuries, America has been blessed with more than its fair share of comedians. The exceptional ones often made their name harpooning politicians and politics in general. It’s fair to say some of the best of those skewers were more expert in irony, cynicism, and sarcasm than knee-slapping, pie-in-the-face comedy. In his final years, George Carlin (1937-2008) rose from Top 40 DJ and TV’s “Hippy-Dippy Weatherman” to the pinnacles of popularity, foremost among those who could speak unvarnished truth to power and get belly-laughs, standing O’s, and serious respect for his words and insights.

Court over gag order he claims is unconstitutional replies
Just days after taking over control of Twitter, Elon Musk has now set his sights on going after federal regulators the SEC.The Tesla founder has quietly signed onto an amicus brief filed last week that could prevent the Securities and Exchange Commission from issuing gag orders which prevent people who settle with the SEC without admitting fault from discussing their cases.He signed a supporting petition filed by Barry Romeril, a former chief financial officer for Xerox, asking the Supreme Court to negate a 2003 deal in which he agreed to always stay silent about the fraud case against him,
The White House is considering using income caps to exclude high earners, and those who took out loans for medicine and law degrees, from being eligible for student-loan relief.Officials of the Biden administration are looking at limiting the relief to people earning less than $125,000 to $150,000 for individual filers, or $250,000 to $300,000 for couples filing joint taxes, according to a new report released Saturday by the Washington Post. A source told the Post that there are different proposals being floated around about how to structure this, but no final decision has been made on the plans.

Cognitive Decline After ‘Kleptocracy’
Gaffe — ‘America Is Suffering’ replies
GOP officials expressed alarm over what appeared to be President Joe Biden’s failing cognitive faculties, declaring him “unfit” to be president after he suffered yet another brain freeze this week while stumbling over a phrase in a speech about Ukraine and Russia.
On Thursday, the president appeared to struggle in pronouncing the word “kleptocracy” as he spoke from his teleprompter about the “ill-begotten gains” of Russian oligarchs connected to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
President Biden’s new disinformation czar Nina Jankowicz once belted out a raunchy parody version of a Christmas song — changing the lyrics to ask who she needed to “f***” to be “famous and powerful,” according to resurfaced YouTube footage.“I want to be rich, famous, and powerful! Step on all my enemies and never do a thing,” Jankowicz sang in the clip from 2015. “Who do I f—k to be famous and powerful? I’ve done everything I can and now the rest is up to you,” her version of “My Simple Christmas Wish (Rich, Famous, and Powerful)” went.
Naomi Judd, who with her daughter Wynonna formed the tremendously successful country duo The Judds, died Saturday April 30th from what a press release by Wynonna and her sister, actress Ashley Judd, labeled as “mental illness.” Naomi Judd was 76, the Associated Press reports.
The Judds first came to public attention in 1983 with the release of their debut EP Wynonna & Naomi. Its debut single made it into the Country Top 20, but the follow-up “Mama He’s Crazy” became a smash hit, the duo’s first Number One single. [Video]

In 2011, fourth-grader Mira Bohannan Kumar was thrilled to start her new life at Willowwind School, a private pre-K through sixth-grade school in Iowa City. Kumar "had trouble fitting in" at her old school, she told the Iowa City Press-Citizen, and she couldn't wait to take advantage of the smaller class sizes, individual attention, and advanced curriculum her newfound private education offered.
Roughly a decade later, Kumar's mother, Iowa Democrat Christina Bohannan, is fighting to make it harder for local children to enjoy the same private school experience. Bohannan, who is running to unseat Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R.), has railed against school choice as a state lawmaker.
States are legalizing marijuana use at a stunning pace, sparking a race to better train police officers for traffic stops and develop technologies that can help them determine if motorists are driving while high. Efforts to create a roadside breath test for marijuana, akin to portable tests for alcohol, have lagged behind state legislatures’ rush to legalize recreational use of the drug.(Snip)“We are seeing a lot of different substances causing impairment on our roads. The top two are cannabis and alcohol so it makes sense to have a device for each. Right now we only have one for alcohol and that can limit law enforcement’s ability to conduct
El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a group of more than 50 migrants after they illegally crossed the New River into California. Officials called the river “one of the most polluted bodies of water in North America.” El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino tweeted a video showing a group of more than 50 migrants illegally crossing a polluted border river from Mexico into California. Chief Bovino called the New River one of the most polluted bodies of water in North America. Two of the migrants appeared to be pushing a raft with no one in it. The group appears to be mostly single adult migrants.
Many ideas considered radical a decade ago now enjoy mainstream support in the environmentalist movement. Demands to "decarbonize" electricity production are proceeding apace despite the limitations of generating electricity reliably and affordably from renewable sources alone.
The technology to store energy simply hasn't kept pace with our ability to generate it, leaving renewable sources like wind and solar handicapped by their inherent intermittency. Consequently, renewables provide only a fraction of Nebraska's energy needs and find economic viability only through a regime of heavy government subsidy.
Despite this technological deficiency, clean energy advocates still insist we decommission "dirty" sources sooner rather than later.
The Big Apple is going up in smoke. Hell Square–the section of the Lower East Side known for its late-night drunken revelry–is ground zero for storefront weed sales in the city, with at least 13 pot purveyors in a four-block area. One little problem: Selling pot is still illegal. New York legalized recreational weed last year, but the state Office of Cannabis Management has yet to roll out its regulations and licensing system, which could arrive by the end of 2022.(Snip)Granny Za’s on Orchard Street is technically an art dealer where customers pay $75 for a digital image from a local artist
Elon Musk said Friday people on the far left have a deep dislike for others and themselves, but added he was not a fan of the far right. “The far left hates everyone, themselves included!” he wrote in a Twitter post that morning. (Tweet) He later appeared to clarify his comments, writing, “But I’m no fan of the far right either. Let’s have less hate and more love.” (Tweet) Followers made their opinions on the issue known in their replies. “Less hate requires content moderation. It just does,” one user claimed while another said, “There is no far right. Anyone who is even slightly right of center is
On April 29th, 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shared some major news about the health of Casey DeSantis, his wife, during a press conference, saying.“We really appreciate everybody who’s prayed for her and for us over these many, many months, and at the end of the day it was not an easy thing for anyone to go through but I can tell you the prognosis couldn’t be better and I look forward to her being out and about more so than ever.”Team DeSantis also tweeted out the great news about Casey DeSantis’ health, saying:Florida’s amazing First Lady has completed her FINAL radiation treatment!
An Alabama corrections officer and a capital murder suspect are missing, according to Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton. Vicki White, assistant director of corrections for the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office, and inmate Casey Cole White, who are not related, left the detention center at about 9:30 a.m. Friday, bound for the courthouse, and they have not been seen since, said Sheriff Rick Singleton. Singleton said Vicki White, a 25-year employee of the sheriff's office, told subordinates she was taking Casey White for a mental health evaluation, and afterward would be seeking medical attention herself. He said investigators have since

A Lancaster, Pennsylvania high school teacher has been put on administrative leave after hosting a raunchy drag show for “Genders Sexualities Alliance” club students after school hours without bothering to notify parents or ask for their permission.
The disturbing performance featured professional dancers and occurred at Hempfield High School on Monday. It was announced while school was in session but parents were not told it was taking place. (snip) As for the teacher who put the event on, there were no regrets. According to “Libs of Tik Tok,” she released a statement on social media expressing her thrill over the event taking place.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby delivered an emotional condemnation of Vladimir Putin's 'depravity' in Ukraine on Friday, and came close to tears as he described the horror of looking at images coming from the war-torn country. Kirby has won rave reviews for his unflappable manner and dry sense of humor during briefings, delivering grim news with the minimum of fuss. But on Friday the toll of 65 days of war in Ukraine caught up with him when he was asked about President Putin's state of mind.(Snip)'So I can't talk to his psychology.

A second member of the Oath Keepers has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and obstruction charges in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Brian Ulrich, 44, pleaded guilty on Friday to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding for his actions leading up to, during, and after the Capitol riot as part of a plea agreement to cooperate with the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation. As part of his plea, Ulrich, a member of the Georgia Oath Keepers chapter, admitted to conspiring with other members of the group to use force to prevent the transfer of presidential power from November 2020 through January 2021.
He’s still taking New Yorkers for a ride. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio continues to be chauffeured around town by an NYPD security detail despite refusing to pay taxpayers back nearly $320,000 that city investigators say he owes for misusing the perk while in office, The Post has learned. Since leaving City Hall four months ago, de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray have had a team of six NYPD detectives and a sergeant assigned to be their personal limousine and security service, police sources said. The cops rotate so that least two are always on call to service the former First Couple from early morning to late at night.

Pfizer announced Friday that a recent large, late-stage trial found that its COVID-19 antiviral pill, Paxlovid, failed at preventing symptomatic infection of people living with a person who has the disease.
The trial enrolled 2,957 participants aged 18 and older who live in the same household as another person who has COVID-19 with symptoms. They were given either Paxlovid or a placebo twice daily for five or 10 days.

A public meeting in Kenosha, Wis., descended into chaos Monday night as one resident accused the parks commission of quietly trying to approve a proposal to memorialize one of the two men killed by Kyle Rittenhouse in 2020.
The commission ultimately tabled the proposal after multiple residents showed opposing the placement of a memorial tree and plaque commemorating Anthony Huber at Anderson Park.
Huber was captured on video chasing Rittenhouse and attempting to hit him with a skateboard before Rittenhouse fatally shot him in the chest during protests on Aug. 25, 2020.
The proposal was requested earlier this month by Huber’s girlfriend Hannah Gittings
Old Joe Biden’s ominous Disinformation Governance Board has just been announced, and it’s already expanding the scope of its responsibilities. Of course, that’s what government agencies do. They’re always looking to justify and increase their budgets, and so they’re always looking for new things to involve themselves in. But in this case, the expansion makes the agency in question even more dangerous to the American people than it was already.
When Politico revealed the existence of the Board in an offhanded statement buried 60 paragraphs down in its Wednesday “Politico Playbook,” it said that the Department of Homeland Security was “standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation
One of the things that has made Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter so much fun is he’s driven the left mad with just his claim that he believes in preserving free speech on Twitter. He also has shown that he has a sense of humor. Yes, he wants to preserve free speech on the platform — but he also shows that he wants people to have fun on it.
He has a lot of fun with it himself. On Friday, he proved that again, when he delivered a master-level response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
AOC was sharing one of her typical “I hate billionaires” rants.
New York City’s luxury retail outlook is dim—literally. Swanky Madison Avenue shops on the Upper East Side are lowering lights, locking doors and opening by appointment only in an effort to combat a relentless scourge of brazen daytime shoplifters terrorizing the glitzy thoroughfare. The Carolina Herrera boutique near 67th Street has been robbed so many times it now pretends to be shuttered, with lights dimmed and door dead-bolted shut, even during normal business hours. “It looks closed,” lamented one bride-to-be, hoping to drop six figures on three Herrera dresses for the walk down the aisle and post-ceremony receptions. She noted it’s a “bad look”
April 30th marks the Fall of Saigon, and the end of the war in Vietnam.
But April 30th demarcates more than just the end of the first war America lost; that date could be used as the beginning of the end of many “myths” about the war — the first being, that America’s military “lost.” In reality, the men who fought in Vietnam weren’t allowed to win. The politicians in Washington, particularly Robert McNamara as the Secretary of Defense, hamstrung our fighting men with absurd rules of engagement (ROE) that made it impossible to win.

The Environmental Protection Agency issued an emergency waiver for a higher-ethanol gasoline blend on Friday, allowing summertime sales of the fuel in an attempt to help lower gasoline prices at the pump.
The move represents a temporary win for the biofuels industry and corn farmers, as it will likely expand sales of corn-based ethanol, and a setback for oil refiners, which view ethanol as competition.(Snip)'Coalition for Clean Air is concerned that increasing the ethanol content of gasoline beyond 10 percent could boost summertime smog, which sears the lungs,' Bill Magavern, policy director at the coalition, told DailyMail.com in an email.

New York’s Off Key Tikki Bar is under fire from the left for making an allegedly “racist” joke on their Cinco de Mayo ad.The ad invited people to “join us for a little taste of Mexico (might as well before the whole country immigrates here!)” Michael Bruemmer, the owner of the bar, maintains that he was just playing around and did not mean any harm. “It was a tongue in cheek attempt at humor,” Bruemmer told News 12. “Probably wasn’t the smartest thing I have ever said,
Long before Nina Jankowicz was tapped by Joe Biden to head the Disinformation Governance Board in the Department of Homeland Security, she offered advice to the new president and claimed disinformation is “an American pathology” that has to be cured. In her piece “How to Defeat Disinformation: An Agenda for the Biden Administration” in Foreign Affairs magazine in November of 2020, Jankowicz spelled out what she believed should be done at the White House, including creating her job to quash conspiracy theories about the outcome of the election.The author of books on disinformation not only offered advice to Biden but promoted the idea of a new federal post

The Allianz Group, one of the world's largest insurers and asset managers, published a statement Friday detailing how it will no longer insure and invest in new oil and gas fields starting in 2023. This comes at the worst possible time for extremely tight oil markets as Russian production drops due to hard-hitting Western sanctions, igniting fuel shortages in Europe, the US East Coast, and other parts of the world.

Yes, we know it’s only been three weeks since the last time President Biden was honored as the week’s top knucklehead, but what is our KOTW Committee supposed to do? The man just can’t help himself, and we just cannot ignore his buffoonery. After a thorough tongue-lashing from our Department of Redundancy Department and following only a brief internal debate arguing for the candidacies of other knuckleheads, the decision is in and the voting wasn’t even close.

It’s possible that, without Julie Kelly’s dogged journalistic efforts, almost no one would remember the January 6 martyrs, immured in dirty, cruelly-managed D.C. prisons for the sin of entering the Capitol last January. For 15 months, Kelly has lived and breathed the story, ferreting out every bit of information that the government isn’t hiding from defendants and journalists alike. That knowledge, combined with a book revealing Sen. Mitch McConnell’s feelings about Trump, lead her to suggest that McConnell encouraged the breakdown on January 6 to avoid protest votes against Biden’s assuming the presidency.
Democrat senators on Friday will weigh whether or not Elon Musk should testify about how he intends to reform Twitter.
The senators’ deliberation comes after the Biden administration on Wednesday created a “Disinformation Governance Board” just two days after Musk’s inked the deal with Twitter. It appears Democrats are gearing up for a two-pronged attack on any changes Musk makes to the platform.
“We’re thinking about it,” Commerce Committee Chair Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) told Bloomberg News about a potential hearing. No hearing has yet been scheduled, but Democrats may find a hearing politically expedient.

Britain’s new Elections Act, which has just received Royal Assent, has finally made voter ID compulsory at polling stations — but questions remain about mail-in voting fraud.
The new legislation was widely opposed by left-wing political parties, including the Labour opposition, and activists, with allegations that the poor, ethnic minorities, and “trans and non-binary people” would be disenfranchised being widespread.
However, the government produced research showing that, in fact, “98 per cent of electors already own a photographic document that is on the broad list of acceptable types of identification” allowed under the Act, and the remaining two per cent will be entitled to Voter Cards
Establishment Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on Thursday admitted she may lose her primary bid to Donald Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka.
“I may not be re-elected,” Murkowski told the New York Times about the possible end of her 20-year Senate career.
“It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican,’ she said about Tshibaka who is leading in the polls.
“And if they say that that’s the way that Alaska has gone — kind of the same direction that so many other parts of the country have gone — I have to accept that,” Murkowski added.
There are few types of people “woke” leftists and media figures hate more than members of so-called “minority” voting blocs who refuse to toe the Democrat party victimhood line, people who choose to think differently which, last I checked, was supposed to be okay to do in America.

Newly obtained bodycam footage was released this week showing a never before seen angle of Capitol Police Officer Lila Morris violently beating an already unconscious Rosanne Boyland at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The video was released by The Epoch Times on Friday.
In the video, Morris can be clearly seen using a large wooden stick to club Boyland three times, with blows landing on the head and body as she lay motionless on the ground. Despite countless bystanders screaming for her to stop her vicious assault, Morris continued until the wooden stick was jarred from her hand by a protester who intervened.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday dismissed the shrinking economy and crippling inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrat party.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Thursday that Biden’s economy is shrinking.
The first-quarter GDP contracted 1.4%.
Crippling inflation is at a 40-year high.
The Biden Regime claims the US inflation rate rose to 8.5% but everyone knows that number is cooked.
A reporter asked Pelosi if the shrinking economy and record high inflation is going to have an effect on the 2022 election.
Pelosi dismissed the US GDP contracting 1.4% and said the financial woes are just an “aberration.”
Winston-Salem, North Carolina – An angry customer stabbed a 16-year-old Jimmy John’s employee over a sandwich order.
Demetrius Holeman, 45, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and injury to real property for the damages to the store, WXII reported.
According to police, Holeman was on a ‘do not serve’ list at Jimmy John’s because of past behavior but she entered the store on Tuesday and became violent.
The teen victim suffered non-life threatening injuries, but was badly hurt according to WXII.

PJ’s Rick Moran revealed Thursday that the chief of America’s new Thought Police, Disinformation Governance Board executive director Nina Jankowicz, brings a peculiar wealth of experience to her new job: she falsely claimed in 2017 that Republicans funded the notorious Steele Dossier that was a central element of the Russian Collusion hoax, and she insisted that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a “Trump campaign product.” So it’s clear: this is an individual who knows all about disinformation. She also brings a certain enthusiasm to her Disinformation Governance Board job, as is clear from a video Tucker Carlson broadcast Thursday, in which Jankowicz lustily belts out a song, sung to the tune of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk secured financing for his $44 billion takeover bid of Twitter by pledging to slash jobs and executive pay, among other cost-cutting measures, according to a report.
Musk also told lenders that he would maximize profitability at the social media platform by monetizing tweets, though he did not provide specifics, and floated suggestions on how to boost revenue including a subscription service, according to Bloomberg News. Musk had to convince the banks that Twitter produced enough cash flow to service the debt he sought, according to the report. In the end, he clinched $13 billion in loans secured against Twitter and a $12.5 billion margin loan
The claims that the 2020 Presidential election was wrought with fraud and abuse have been sung from every mountain top in the land, and by every conservative politician or public figure of note. Conversely, claims that it was the most secure election in the history of Presidential politics have been spoken on every liberal street corner and by every mainstream media personality in the country.
The American public has become tired of both sides, having been beaten down by the rights claim of a “rigged” election, and weary of the lefts claim that this was a white glove tested, perfectly executed demonstration of democracy in action.
