Liberals love to bleat on these days about how Republicans have been breaching “democratic norms,” but late today one of the most sacrosanct norms of our political order was breached: Someone leaked a draft Supreme Court opinion striking down Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in the pending case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Association.
The opinion, drafted by Justice Samuel Alito, is 98 pages long, and I’m going to want to read through it carefully before offering conclusions or analysis. But some of the language in the opinion on a first skim seems promising, such as “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” Heh:
As news of the possibility of infamous Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade being overturned is breaking, pro-abortion Democrats appear to be defending the possibility of a leak from the nation’s High Court.
Lauding the potential “brave clerk” who may have leaked what appears to be a preliminary decision by Justice Samuel Alito to overturn Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, former national press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign Brian Fallon said the apparent leaker took the “unpredecented [sic] step of leaking a draft opinion to warn the country what’s coming in a last-ditch Hail Mary
Whoever leaked the alleged draft of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has committed the “original sin for judicial ethics,” said Jonathan Turley, criminal defense attorney and Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University.
Politico published an alleged draft on Monday of the Court’s decision to overrule Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. The case revolves around Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban and is the most significant challenge in decades to the Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which declared abortion to be protected by the U.S. Constitution. The draft was seemingly written by Justice Samuel Alito and has circulated
President Biden on Monday mixed up his job title, telling a crowd at the White House that he was the nation’s first senator from Delaware when he meant to say president. Biden, who turns 80 this year, is the oldest-ever US president and Republican critics routinely accuse him of being in mental decline, citing gaffes and instances where he appears to lose his train of thought. “There have not been many of the senators from Delaware. It’s a small state. As a matter of fact, there has never been one. And so I want to take advantage of making sure I introduce [a fellow Delaware native],” Biden said
“Just minutes” after Politico reported that the majority of the Supreme Court’s justices were leaning towards striking down legal abortion nationwide, barricades around the court building were being erected, according to a journalist with the Washington Examiner. Cami Mondeaux said on Monday night that she received Politico’s alert as she was passing the Supreme Court building, and that “barricades were going up right then.” The high court’s leaked memo, an early draft decision penned by Justice Samuel Alito, labeled the landmark case Roe v. Wade “egregiously wrong from the start.” Though Supreme Court decisions can change while still in the draft stages, Politico reported the exceedingly rare leaked decision
The leaking of a Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion prompted outrage Monday night including accusations by Republican senators of a liberal-left effort to intimidate the justices into changing their ruling.
Legal scholars also were calling within hours of the Monday night report in Politico for Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. to find and punish the person who ended in the unprecedented leak.
Josh Blackman, a constitutional law professor at the South Texas College of Law Houston, said Chief Justice Roberts “has an absolute obligation to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation.” “And at the end of that investigation, Roberts must publicly identify
Politically motivated leaks are no big deal in today’s partisan politics. But something happened today that is utterly unprecedented.
A draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked. To my knowledge, this has never happened before.
The leak was obviously by either one of the three Justices in the liberal wing of the Court, or one of their 10-12 clerks who have access to the internal deliberations of the Court. It was presumably for the purpose of ginning up a public outcry to pressure one or more of the majority justices to change his or her mind.
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO. The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.”
Vice President Kamala Harris will speak at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s graduation ceremony on May 18, the academy announced.
“We are honored to host the vice president and look forward to having her present the Coast Guard’s newest leaders with their commissions,” Rear Adm. Bill Kelly, academy superintendent, said in a statement Friday. “This will also be a memorable moment for our graduates before they head out across the country and around the globe to take their places in the fleet.” Vice presidents traditionally address the graduating class at one of the service academies on a rotating basis. Ms. Harris last year delivered the keynote speech at the Naval Academy
POLITICO is at it again, trying to manipulate the news, rather than report it.
Peep this headline:
Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court.
Excuse me? Since when do you leak draft opinions? When you’re trying to gin up the bloodthirsty pro-abortion crowd into a frenzy, that’s when.
Between May and June is when the SCOTUS rulings on the cases of consequence—like Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health—begin to come down, and Americans watch with bated breath.
However, with the way things have been going for the Left and the Democrats

Gowdy nails it: Media only likes Republicans

‘who are dead, who lose, or vote with Democrats’ replies
Trey Gowdy, the host of “Sunday Night in America” on Fox News, schooled the media, explaining why Americans could care less about leaked audiotapes from House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy where he talked about Jan. 6 and what happened afterward as opposed to the “euphoria” leftists feel over them.“I try to be helpful when I can, so I’m going to do something which may surprise you. I’m going to help The New York Times, Politico, CNN, and The Washington Post. Those media outlets are struggling right now to understand why no one cares about the leaked audio tapes wherein Kevin McCarthy was talking about January 6th and the aftermath,”
Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance on Monday night at the Met Gala, which showcases high fashion. Watch: (Video) In an exclusive clip from Vogue, Clinton revealed that a secret message was hand-embroidered onto the maroon gown by the designer Altuzarra.“I knew that I wanted the dress to have a personal component for her,” Altuzarra told Vogue. “When someone like Hillary goes to the Met, it’s not just like, ‘there’s Hillary at the Met and she’s wearing a dress.’
So much for Democrats’ obsession with wokery, eh? It’s been clear for months that going all-in on critical race theory and other progressive obsessions undermined Democrats’ appeal to working-class and conservative Hispanic voters, about three percent of whom embrace the preciously woke “Latinx” as a label. Black conservative Darvio Morrow, the host of Outlaws Radio podcasts, warns that this approach is backfiring among voters in the demographic this strategy was supposed to woo.
The “Emerging Majority” theory is taking a beating, Morrow argues in Newsweek:
The Democratic Party has a huge problem. For decades now, they have been hemorrhaging white rural and working class voters to the Republicans,
The last several weeks have been full of consternation from the left and right over Gov. Ron DeSantis’ move to strip The Walt Disney Company of its special-governing status. That followed a fierce public battle in which Disney trashed Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, vowing to see it overturned. That law simply forbids the teaching of sexuality or so-called “gender theory” to small children, K-3rd grade.
Things really touched off, though, once a leaked video from an internal Disney meeting showed producers and executives talking about a “not-so-secret gay agenda” and the forcing of sexuality into programming meant for kids.

Global warming hysteria is lowering living standards around the world, but the real disasters are generally a ways off in the future. If countries actually try to meet their foolish carbon reduction pledges, the result will be a human disaster rarely paralleled in history.
A small preview of what is in store comes from Northern Ireland:
Northern Ireland will need to lose more than 1 million sheep and cattle to meet its new legally binding climate emissions targets, according to an industry-commissioned analysis seen by the Guardian.
The large-scale reduction in farm animals comes after the passing of the jurisdiction’s first ever climate act, requiring the farming sector to reach net-zero
Clean energy has a dirty little secret, just revealed by MIT science writing student Shel Evergreen: Its “unsustainable” appetite for minerals and the dirty ways they’re obtained. From Evergreen’s report for Ars Technica:
In South America’s Atacama Desert, salt flats are dotted with shallow, turquoise-colored lithium brine pools. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, children chip at the ground for cobalt. In China, toxic chemicals leach neodymium from the earth.
All that extraction “presents humanitarian, environmental, and logistical challenges,” Scenes like those might already be familiar ground for those who aren’t wedded to the green fantasy of clean energy.
Project Veritas on Monday released records from a government insider revealing numerous suspected terrorists are freely walking around in the United States despite being flagged by the Terrorist Watchlist.
Despite being flagged by the Department of Homeland Security for violent offenses like murder and using explosive devices, the US still admitted the terrorists from Afghanistan because of Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome.”One suspected terrorist who arrived in the US on August 31, 2021 was taken off the Terrorist Watchlist – then re-added a month later “under the “Tier 1”
Former CBS and MSNBC producer Chris Licht formally took the helm of CNN on Monday morning and, in a 650-word note to employees, said he wouldn’t be in “the weeds of day-to-day editorial decision making” (like former CNN head Jeff Zucker), will take on “‘group-think,’” and ensure CNN is “respectful of differing viewpoints.”
Licht — who followed through on his April 18 promise to quit Twitter by May 2 — began with the usual platitudes by thanking everyone he’s met with as “[t]here truly is no substitute for in-person interactions.” He also graciously thanked the three CNN executives (Michael Bass, Amy Entelis, and Ken Jautz) who led CNN after Zucker’s overdue ouster for their “incredible work...leading this extraordinary organization
A special grand jury was selected Monday for the investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia.The investigation has been underway since early last year, and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took this unusual step of requesting the special grand jury to help it along. She noted in a letter to the chief judge that the special grand jury would be able to issue subpoenas to people who have refused to cooperate otherwise.The chief judge ordered the special grand jury to be seated for a period of up to a year, beginning Monday.
There must not be all that much journalisming that needs to be happening at CNN right now, even despite the CNN+-induced layoffs, as Brian “The Potato” Stelter, decided that he had the time to write a book and try and go after FNC host Sean Hannity in it.
In fact, there’s a part of the book that seems especially reserved for trying to slam Sean Hannity, with a story that tries to make Hannity look like a jerk.
In reality, it makes Mr. Potatohead look like an absolute wimp and Hannity like a gigachad, as was pointed out on Twitter:
Sunset Park, Brooklyn—Batteries from e-bikes and scooters sparked a Monday morning fire that left a number of Brooklyn residents without homes, official said. A fire broke out in a Seventh Avenue building near 54th Street around 7 a.m., officials said. By 7:50 a..m. it had been escalated to a three-alarm blaze. More than 130 members of the FDNY workers to knock back the fire.(Snip)The building has 39 units and 15 of them were vacated because of the fire, according to the Red Cross. The agency is helping displaced residents with temporary lodging. After discerning the fire was caused by lithium ion batteries
Much like how many in the establishment raced to stop Donald J. Trump’s 2016 ascendancy to the GOP presidential nomination and eventually the White House, donor class and swamp forces are swooping into Ohio to try to block Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance from winning Tuesday’s primary to replace retiring Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH).This 2022 primary for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate has been particularly revealing, showing what campaign consultants, donors, and politicians, both those from Ohio and elsewhere, are really all about when it comes to not just Trump himself but also key policies that Trump championed such as tariffs on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake and Trump-endorsed candidate for AZ Secretary of State Mark Finchem recently filed a lawsuit against radical leftist Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and the corrupt Maricopa and Pima County Boards of Supervisors to ban the use of Voting Machines in the 2022 Elections.The historic lawsuit seeks to prohibit the use of the corrupted machines “unless and until the electronic voting system is made open to the public and subjected to scientific analysis by objective experts to determine whether it is secure from manipulation or intrusion.” The lawsuit states, “The machine companies have consistently refused to do this.”
A public elementary school in Washington, DC, gave children as young as 4 a lesson on “anti-racism” that asked them to identify racist members of their family. According to a Nov. 30 letter from Janney Elementary School Principal Danielle Singh, students in Pre-K through 3rd grade participated in an “Anti-Racism Fight Club” presentation by speaker Doyin Richards.(Snip)Richards’ “Anti-Racism Fight Club Fistbook for Kids” explains that “white people are a part of a society that benefits them in almost every instance,” and that “it’s as if white people walk around with an invisible force field because they hold all of the power in America.”
New York Times (NYT) reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns alleged Monday on CNN’s “New Day” that President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama have an ongoing “rivalry.” CNN’s John Berman asked the pair about the relationship between Biden and Obama while discussing details from their upcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, And The Battle For America’s Future.” Burns recounted how Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi allegedly told a friend in 2021 that Obama was “jealous” of coverage of Biden’s accomplishments in his first year.
The same leftists who claimed social media isn’t censoring conservatives are melting down over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter.Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion dollars last week and the left is not taking it well. Musk has stated that he believes ‘free speech’ on social media should match the law of the country. The vermin at CNN and MSNBC are freaking out and openly admitting they do not believe in free speech. NBC’s Mehdi Hasan lashed out at Elon Musk and asserted that all Republicans are Nazis.
Less than a third of Americans approve of President Biden’s handling of the economy — and an overwhelming majority admit they are “upset” or “concerned” by soaring inflation, according to the latest unflattering poll. More than nine in 10 Americans (94%) say they are worried about spiking prices as inflation climbs to a 40-year high under the 46th president, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted last week. As a result, only a meager 28% “approve” of Biden’s job performance when it comes to the economy. The biting results don’t bode well for Democrats heading into the midterm elections.
Monday, Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley reacted to the Department of Homeland Security’s appointment of Nina Jankowicz to run its so-called “Disinformation Governance Board.”Turley said the Biden administration tabbing “one of the most outspoken critics of free speech” to police what it deemed “disinformation” was “telling.” He argued that President Joe Biden was “arguably the most anti-free speech president since John Adams.”“I think it’s telling that the Biden administration went out and recruited one of the most outspoken critics of free speech,” Turley stated on “America Reports.”“[M]y expectation is that they are going to now try to minimize this group,” he added.
Christina Pushaw, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R-FL) spokeswoman, hammered Disney on Monday, saying the politically woke company “owns an island in the Bahamas” where there’s “no same-sex marriage or civil unions under the law” exists and “people are not allowed to change gender.”
“LGBT rights in the Bahamas: No legal protections from discrimination or harassment. No same-sex marriage or civil unions under the law, which states a Bahamian marriage is composed of a man & woman. People are not allowed to change gender,” Pushaw tweeted on Monday.
Naomi Judd, one-half of the iconic country music duo The Judds, reportedly died by suicide after years of struggling with mental illness.Naomi’s daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, said they lost their mom to “the disease of mental illness” in a statement released on Saturday.On Monday, multiple sources told People that the 76-year-old country music icon had killed herself. No further details were provided.The Post has reached out for comment from representatives of the singers.Larry Strickland, Naomi’s husband of 32 years, had also previously made a statement. “Naomi Judd’s family request privacy
NBC News issued a letter to its readers Monday admitting that a reporter plagiarized several stories over the past year.The outlet told readers that 11 stories by the unnamed reporter contained passages from other news organizations without attribution and did “not represent original reporting.” The network’s editorial team placed an editor’s note on each of the plagiarized articles and removed the copy and pasted passages.“A review by NBC News has found 11 articles written by a reporter over the last year that did not meet our standards for original material,” the note said.
Elon Musk slammed NBC News on Monday in response to a rant from a far-Left MSNBC host who claimed that Musk bought Twitter and turned it over to “the far-right.”MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, who has compared non-Muslims to “cattle,” tried to downplay America’s far-Left by claiming that they only want to “give us free health care and free childcare” while claiming that the far-right “wants to give us white supremacy and no democracy.”“And this asymmetrical polarization of U.S. politics would be laughable if it weren’t so horrifying,” Hasan said. “We are living through an unspeakably dangerous moment,
Getting ready for Monday night’s Met Gala is proving quite a feet for Mayor Eric Adams. The Ferragamo-loving pol took time out of his busy schedule in the afternoon to treat himself to a pedicure ahead of the city’s fashion event of the year. Video posted on Twitter showed Hizzoner barefoot in the beauty chair at Cuccio Nail Salon in Washington Heights, Manhattan, while one of the staff washed his feet. “The Met Ball—so we’ll make sure I have a pedi done before I go,” Adams quips in the short clip. A City Hall spokesman confirmed that Adams received the pedicure before 2 p.m.—adding that

The Webster Groves School District in Missouri is under fire for violating state and federal privacy laws by subjecting students to probing surveys asking about political beliefs and affiliation, gender, sexual orientation and mental health status. Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Monday agreed to investigate the issue after being alerted to the practice by the Southeast Legal Foundation, which was retained by Webster Groves parents after they learned of the practice.'We appreciate the Southeast Legal Foundation for bringing their concerns to the office, and have received similar allegations in districts across the state,' Missouri Attorney General spokesman Chris Nuelle said in an email.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Monday he 'rejected' an invite to the White House Correspondents' Association dinner and slammed comedian Trevor Noah for 'lying' that he was there. 'I was what I would never attend that I have no interest in that. I did not watch it,' the Republican governor of Florida told reporters at a press conference. 'I don't care what they do, but for them to advertise me when that invitation was rejected by my office, that is a lie,' he said. 'They are lying about something that is readily verifiable.'
One of the left's useful narratives is that Native Americans lived in idyllic, pastoral harmony, only to have this paradise brutally destroyed by the invading Europeans and their Christian God. There's some truth (some Native American tribes were peaceful and some Europeans brutal), but that's not important for the left. Angelic indigenous people and evil Whites are the core story for them. That's why it's intriguing to learn about the fate of 150 people whose skeletons were found in a cave in Mexico.
The skeletons were actually found a decade ago. Now, though, Guatemala's Institute of Anthropology and History has determined when and how these people died.

John Boehner backed out of a deal to join a marijuana lobbying group—but only after he allegedly stole its data and talking points to form another, pro-weed lobbying outfit of his own, an explosive lawsuit claims. The former House speaker signed an agreement in March 2018 to become co-chair of the 10 Campaign—a weed legalization group that takes its name from the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution, which establishes states’ rights, according to the suit filed in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia.
Less than a year later, in February 2019, however, Boehner announced he was launching a new group called the National Cannabis
A popular gay dating app is catching heat after precise location data for millions of users was collected from a digital advertising network and sold to outside parties. Grindr—which touts itself as the world's largest social networking app for gay, bi, transgender and queer individuals—is one of several platforms prompting concern among national security officials. Data collected from the app, which has millions of users, was used as part of a demonstration by the U.S. government detailing the intelligence risks of commercially available information, The Wall Street Journal reported. Although the information did not disclose names or phone numbers, experts allege some of the data was detailed enough
What’s that I hear?
I think it’s the howls of rage and fury emanating from a Montecito mansion in the hours after Meghan Markle had the crushing realisation that pretending to be a Hollywood ‘Duchess’ means nothing in the cutthroat world of American TV.
Netflix, which just 14 months ago at the height of the pandemic subscriber boom, employed the Sussexes in an unprecedented exclusive telly deal worth tens of millions, has had a crushing realisation of its own: Viewers of the once-great streaming platform aren’t going to keep paying to be force fed a succession of painfully PC dramas about pregnant men
President Joe Biden and fellow Democrats have struggled to overcome historical headwinds and worrisome economic trends in the lead-up to the midterms.
So aides are scheming up something else: Turning the campaign into a contrast with Donald Trump and the Republicans.President Joe Biden and his team are hoping to spend the spring and summer months drawing sharp distinctions with Republicans, one in particular. They still plan to push forth revived pieces of stalled agenda. But they’re also eagerly awaiting potentially explosive findings from the Jan. 6 select committee and hope those discoveries can inflame a battle brewing within the GOP over former Trump’s legacy and power.
In an apparent homage to George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” — one the rest of us realize is a pointed political allegory but the Biden administration apparently views as a handbook — the Biden White House is establishing a Disinformation Governance Board.
Yes, you read that correctly. The government is going to decide what’s true and what’s false, and punish disseminators accordingly. The bureaucrats who run the Department of Homeland security, where this board will be housed, are going to be parsing fact from fiction, obviously to keep us all safe from the scourge of independent judgment and thought.
House Republicans might not have to wait until November to chip away at Democrats’ majority. Internal party polling conducted this month shows the GOP has a real shot at flipping former Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela’s South Texas seat in the upcoming June special election. Republican Mayra Flores led Democrat Dan Sanchez by 5 points in a late April survey — and President Joe Biden’s job approval was underwater by 14 points in a district he carried by 4 points in 2020. A win in this once-deep blue seat would offer a big morale boost to Republicans, who have been making

Police were stationed near Joyner Elementary School as 50 citizens gathered, carrying signs. Some participants knelt down to pray, Fox 8 reported.
“Kind of a rallying thing to say ‘we here in Greensboro does not want this in our schools,'” explained Tempe Moore, who organized the event.

I’ve lost count of the number of hit pieces/segments I’ve read and watched over the years from the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN on Tucker Carlson, and beyond the predictability of the attacks on the popular Fox News host, the one thing I’ve noticed is the increasing desperation that comes with each “bombshell” report.The desperation, of course, stems from the fact that every attack they launch against him only serves to increase his popularity in part because Carlson is famously (or infamously, in some circles) unapologetic in his stances. Further, Carlson has over the years also fine-tuned his penchant for turning the hits
Another weekend night in lawless Chicago.
A video released this morning shows a group of spectators surrounded by a ring of fire as drag racers prepare to drive donuts around them.

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the city of Boston violated the First Amendment by refusing to fly a local organization’s Christian flag in front of city hall, though it had flown other groups’ flags.
The decision in Shurtleff v. the City of Boston was unanimous, with the Court ruling that Boston should have allowed the Christian group’s flag because the flags did not represent government speech.
“We conclude that Boston’s flag-raising program does not express government speech,” Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the court. “As a result, the city’s refusal to let (the group) fly their flag based on its religious viewpoint violated

Kathy Boudin, who spent decades in prison for her part in the deadly 1981 Brink’s armored truck heist as a member of the radical militant group Weather Underground, died of cancer at the age of 78 in New York on Sunday.
In October 1981, Boudin and members of the group teamed up with the Black Liberation Army for the robbery to help fund their anti-government campaigns. They targeted a Brink’s armored truck, which they held up in Rockland County, making off with $1.6 million.
During the robbery, gunmen killed Brink’s security guard Peter Paige before transferring the money to a U-Haul truck a mile away,
Following the announcement of his "Disinformation Governance Board," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas found himself scrambling to spin the hideous new speech enforcer, claiming it was not as Orwellian as any normal person would think.
Speaking with Fox News, Sunday he told Bret Baier:
"This is a working group that takes best practices to make sure that, in addressing disinformation that presents a threat to the homeland, our work does not infringe on free speech, does not infringe on civil rights, civil liberties," he continued. "It's not about speech, it's about the connectivity to violence. That is what we need to address. You know, an individual has the free speech
As subscribers continue to flee in droves, the left-wing Netflix is taking an axe to its original programming development in an effort to rein in spending. The newest casualty: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, whose planned animated series has reportedly been cancelled.
Netflix has dropped Pearl, the working title of the animated series that was created by Meghan Markle through Archewell Productions, the company the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry set up at Netflix last year, according to a report from Deadline.
According to a new book by New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin released last week, “This Will Not Pass,” Mitch McConnell was exhilarated that, in his mind, President Trump had “finally, totally discredited himself” following the January 6 protests.McConnell was never a fan of Trump or his voters. It was McConnell and Paul Ryan who blocked funds to build a border wall. It was McConnell and the Senate Republicans who failed to even open discussion on Obamacare after they all ran against the catastrophic health care law.
The mayor for the city region of Liverpool, England has claimed advertisements on buses promoting an appearance by American evangelist Reverend Franklin Graham constitute “hate speech” and should be removed.
Steve Rotherham, Labour’s left-wing Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, has called on two British bus companies, Stagecoach and Arriva, to remove advertisements promoting an upcoming event involving Franklin Graham in the city in May.
The advertisements for Graham’s ‘God Loves You Too’ tour merely read: “Looking for something more?” with information about the upcoming event in Liverpool.
The past few weeks have been extremely troubling for those who value democracy, freedom, human rights, and civil liberties within the United States of America. (snip) Recently, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified that a Disinformation Governance Board has been set up to counter disinformation (snip) Will they be able to prosecute people for spreading ‘disinformation? Will this board be restricted to focus on social media only as its tool, or will the powers also apply to ‘right-wing media’ directly? We do not know. However, that is not the only concern, there have been other assaults on democratic values.
Last night, there was a fire at a food processing plant in America. It was the 18th such “accident” to hit our food processing plants and distribution centers in 2022. Eighteen such incidents in only four months is an unprecedented rate. Usually, there are a dozen, or less, in any calendar year.
On April 22nd, there was an “explosion” at Shearer's Foods in Hermiston, Oregon. On April 21st, an "unidentified small plane" crashed into the General Mills plant in Covington, Georgia.
On April 19th, a mysterious fire destroyed the largest independent food distributor in the United States. On April 19th, a mysterious fire destroyed the largest independent food distributor
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that so many of the most hysterical climate-change/greenies are based in urban regions. A big city represents the heaviest human footprint there is, something that misleads people into believing that man can ride herd on nature. (Snip) Whether it’s earthquakes, floods, droughts, hurricanes, or just inexorable greenery (e.g., kudzu, every jungle), when nature gets a head of steam, we’re tossed about like ants after a careless human foot kicked their anthill. And surely the most stunning and destructive example of nature’s power is a volcano. That’s why volcanic activity in Antarctica is a bit unnerving.
Renewable energy prices have skyrocketed while new wind and solar installations have plummeted over the last year, even as governments continue to forge ahead with ambitious climate plans.
While the U.S., European Union, other Western nations and international organizations have all pursued aggressive climate agendas that involve expanding renewable energy technology and infrastructure, prices have surged and profits have declined
Biden’s Loan Forgiveness Fraud
replies
His popularity flagging, President Joe Biden is using the oldest trick in the book to return voters to the Democrats’ fold: Don’t earn their future votes, buy them. And that’s exactly what Biden is doing with his $1 trillion plan to “forgive” student loans.
Biden had already allowed students to “postpone” paying their loans during the pandemic “emergency,” even those who have jobs and could make the payments.
So why now forgive the loans? The truth is, one of the biggest recent declines in Biden’s support comes among Americans of college age and slightly older, the very group most likely to have a pile of student loans.
Inflation Can’t Be Censored
replies
An increasingly disturbing feature of American politics is the routine suppression of major news stories that reflect poorly on candidates favored by the Fourth Estate. The most egregious example in recent years occurred in October of 2020 when corporate news outlets and social media platforms colluded to bury a New York Post article on Hunter Biden. Fortunately, some stories just aren’t susceptible to such censorship. Inflation is a case in point. It can’t be hidden from the voters because soaring prices shout the bad news from every grocery store shelf and gas pump in the nation.
Even before the Ukraine war began, people were speculating that something was physically wrong with Putin. He looked puffy, not as if he’d gained weight, but as if he were reacting to medicines. Speculation escalated with recent videos showing him clutching a table and with a badly shaking hand. Now, The Sun, a British tabloid, is claiming that Putin is going under the knife for a cancer operation, as well as suffering from Parkinson’s.
As early as January 3, Britain’s Telegraph paper was suggesting that Putin is seriously ill.
It’s religious dogma to the left: our immigration system is broken and the only fix is more cowbell. Ok, maybe not more cowbell, but a complete overhaul of the system – “comprehensive immigration reform” – which is code, or “dog whistle,” to put it in terms Democrats will understand, for amnesty. Sure, it would also involve a lot of other things progressives leftists admit we need to “fix” about the system, but without amnesty, they aren’t interested in any of it. Which goes to show you that, in fact, the immigration system is not broken, Democrats are.
Our immigration system worked just fine (not perfectly, mind you, but fine)
Campos-Duffy slams Biden after WHCA dinner

are un-jabbed replies
Much to the horror of the jab pushing left, Fox & Friends Sunday co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy revealed that one reason she did not attend the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday was that she had not consented to have even one needle shoved into her upper arm.“They tried to make a big deal. The event said you had to be vaccinated in order to attend,” she said on Sunday morning as the panel was discussing weekday host and guest Steve Doocy’s attendance at “America’s most distinguished superspreader event.”“I know because I was invited and I didn’t go for many reasons, but that was one of them,”
The resource-strapped Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reportedly took more than 20 minutes to respond when alleged antifa members assaulted a Saturday campaign event near police headquarters in downtown Portland.By the time officers had "sufficient resources" to establish a crime scene near Southwest 3rd and Main Street, the black-clad demonstrators had already dispersed after hurling smoke grenades, paint-filled balloons and fireworks, according to police. Two were injured by "mortars," police said. The protesters' violence cut short the event in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Stan Pulliam, whose platform includes refunding the police."This is what happens when a Republican dares to hold an event in Portland to talk about funding our police.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that the recently announced head of the so-called Disinformation Governance Board, Nina Jankowicz was a “tremendous authority.”Anchor Bret Baier said, “The president picked to lead this is Nina Jankowicz. She is taking heat for tweets and comments about major news stories, the Hunter Biden laptop story, others. The laptop story obviously was blocked from social media outlets because it was called Russian propaganda until it wasn’t. Do you really think Jankowicz is anywhere near objective enough for this particular job?”
Mayorkas said, “Yes, I do, and by the way, highly regarded
The first days of returning to school after the COVID-19 pandemic were overwhelming. Like other educators across the country, those of us working in Albemarle County, Va., public schools were suddenly faced with fresh challenges that required our full attention and energy: implementing new health and safety procedures, helping students who had fallen behind academically during virtual learning and doing our very best to restore a productive learning environment for all.It was at this exact time our school district decided to introduce controversial policies and mandatory teacher training based on critical race theory. The goal was laudable — to “become an anti-racist school system” — but the curriculum,
The same leftists who claimed social media isn’t censoring conservatives are melting down over Elon Musk’s decision to buy Twitter. Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion dollars last week and the left is not taking it well. Musk has stated that he believes ‘free speech’ on social media should match the law of the country.“I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law,” Musk said.The Biden Regime is so frightened over Musk’s decision to buy Twitter that they responded by creating an Orwellian, unconstitutional “Ministry of Truth.”Twitter censored the Hunter Biden laptop story shortly before the 2020 election so Joe Biden is working overtime to make sure
Twitter's new king Elon Musk dished out some stock-buying tips to his 89 million followers on his social media platform, telling them to 'buy stock in companies that you believe in,' and then took a jab at passive investing by big institutions as the market teeters. The Tesla CEO, who paid $44 billion for Twitter last week, tweeted early Sunday: 'Buy stock in several companies that make products and services that you believe in.'
'Only sell if you think their products and services are trending worse. Don't panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term,' he added,
Despite the lack of any definitive proof that the President has the authority to simply cancel student loan debt without congressional approval, Joe Biden is reportedly in talks to do precisely that and he claims a decision will be coming in a matter of weeks. The progressive lobby in Congress has been pushing Biden to take such an action, but he supposedly isn’t prepared to give them everything they want. The target figure for progressives is $50,000 in debt relief for everyone. Biden said he’s not going that high and there are expected to be income caps associated with any proposed relief. What the exact figures
Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has made all the right people mad, and that includes a lot of the talking heads within the mainstream media. Initial reactions were as overwrought as you’d expect, with cable news setting its collective hair on fire.
But, if anyone thought the passage of time would bring about some moderation, I can assure you that hasn’t happened. CNN held a hilariously composed roundtable on Sunday morning with figures like Brian Stelter, April Ryan, and someone named David Zurawik. While obviously being an avid political observer, I’ll admit to having no idea who Zurawik is. Yet, my first exposure to him has certainly left an impression. Namely, that he’s deranged.
Naomi Judd's daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, both broke down in tears during a ceremony to induct their late mother into the Country Music Hall of Fame - just 24 hours after her passing. She was 76.Judd, who publicly admitted her struggles with 'extreme depression,' died from 'the disease of mental illness,' her daughters said in a statement Saturday. On Sunday, the pair cited a bible verse and lamented that Naomi Judd, who performed for years with Wynonna as 'The Judds,' hadn't lived to receive the honor herself.'My mama loved you so much,' Ashley Judd said to the crowd gathered. 'And I'm sorry that she couldn't hang on until today,'
Russia threatened a dramatic escalation of its war in Ukraine Thursday when Russia’s Channel One featured a video depicting Russian missiles reaching Berlin, Paris, and London.According to the UK’s Express, Channel One’s 60 Minutes program, one of the most popular TV shows in Russia, featured “the chairman of the nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov,” who “suggested Russia could launch a Sarmat missile attack on the UK.” This was not, however, Zhuravlyov’s eccentric view: “Producers then cut to a map of Kaliningrad and seemed to suggest that missiles could be launched from the Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea.”
Zhuravlyov declared: “One Sarmat [missile] and that’s it

Just days after Hillary Clinton emissaries Christopher Steele and Michael Sussmann approached the FBI in September 2016 with dirt that would infuse the Russia collusion probe, the campaign's opposition research firm sent some of the same information to New York Times journalist. "Gents good to see you yesterday," a Fusion GPS executive wrote the reporters. "Sounded like you might be interested in some of the attached russia-related material. these are internal, open source research drafts, as agreed, pls treat this as background/not for attribution. as you'll see it's all easily replicated anyway."
The invitation to further dirty up Donald Trump continued:
The New York Times is running a three-part expose of Fox News show host Tucker Carlson. sub-titled “American Nationalist,” delivered by a staggering ten-person research/reporting crew led by reporter Nicholas Confessore, including an exhaustive analysis of 1150 episodes of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that ran from November 2016 through 2021.
Confessore relied on anonymous sourcing and hostile characterizations of the host’s populist- conservative opinions to bluntly declare both his show and Carlson himself as racist. The headline to Part 1, blared on Sunday's front page, set the tone for this extraordinarily long and completely hostile series, one of the longest things your scribe can remember reading from the Times: “How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear
