Tapped out Tapper

So CNN’s Jake Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson of Axios and CNN have announced May 20 as the publication date for their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and his Disastrous Choice to Run Again. My hunch is that they are still writing the book, but want to pre-empt the field of journalists feverishly cranking out similar “inside stories” of Biden’s disaster right now. Let’s have a look at the pre-publication description: Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that

Federal workers in Washington, fired from their jobs as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing cuts, are being kept from getting unemployment checks, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray said Wednesday during a virtual press conference.
“We are hearing from literally hundreds of people … that they got this letter that said they were being fired for poor performance,” Murray said. “That has impacts beyond just the emotional ones you’re hearing and the fact that they’ve lost a job — but in many of those who are trying to collect unemployment, it is hampering them from collecting unemployment.” Three recently laid-off federal workers local to Washington

The Unmatched Bigotry of Joy Reid

MSNBC just canceled “The ReidOut,” the most vicious, nasty, anti-white and pathologically anti-Trump show on air. Host Joy Reid, for five years, unleashed one hateful, often irrational attack after another. It was only after President Donald Trump’s reelection and her ratings plummeting nearly 50% that MSNBC pulled the plug.
Here are just some of her greatest hits:
“(The courts) are stacked now to essentially suborn our democracy to their very particular version of right-wing evangelical Christ ... That’s no different than Talibanism.”
“The goal of the Republican Party today, is it to seize control of every level of government, to lock out voices of color and LGBTQ voices except those
Walz sticks with it

Republican state senator and physician Scott Jensen ran against Tim Walz in the 2022 Minnesota gubernatorial campaign. Having opposed the incredibly arbitrary and destructive one-man rule that Walz imposed during the Covid regime — Walz never wanted it to end — Jensen made an issue of it. Speaking to an enthusiastic audience at a quadrennial event of the Minnesota chapter of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Jensen cited The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and the rise of fascism in Nazi Germany. I was there. We gave Jensen a standing ovation.
The event was off the record and closed to the press. However, the Star Tribune obtained a
The scandal surrounding the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and its abuse of taxpayer dollars to support causes backed by leftist billionaire George Soros continues to get worse. MRC Business has revealed that USAID gave a $1 million grant to Central European University, a grossly anti-American indoctrination giant founded and financed by none other than Soros himself. The grant’s period began in September of FY 2021 and is set to end in September FY 2025, with $238,609 of the total obligated grant being outlayed so far.
To illustrate just how invested Soros is in elevating CEU on the global stage, his Open Society Foundations funneled an ungodly $948,570,000
If Trump is to be successful as regards tariffs, he must look at President William McKinley’s successes and mistakes.
As a young, struggling congressman, William McKinley’s friend President Rutherford Hayes told him to specialize and develop expertise in tariff policy. McKinley's first legislative effort as a congressman was to increase tariffs in 1877. McKinley rose quickly to chair of the Ways and Means Committee. McKinley was instrumental in forming a Tariff Commission and became a framer of the 1882 Tariff Bill.
His chairmanship led to the passage of the famous "McKinley" Tariff Act of 1890. The Tariff of 1890 went too far and lacked the appropriate guardrails to
German police are investigating a violent attack at Kusel train station, where a mother and her eight-month-old baby were reportedly forcibly thrown out of a train carriage by a group of migrants. According to initial reports, the baby fell out of the stroller face down onto the ground after being ejected from the train. Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with passengers reacting in shock.
Authorities have confirmed that the mother and child received medical attention following the incident, though the extent of their injuries remains unclear. German federal police have launched an urgent manhunt for the suspects responsible. A spokesperson for the police confirmed that
Have you noticed that the Democratic playbook hasn't changed in decades? For years, their attacks on Republicans haven’t changed. It’s always the same lines. “Republicans are for tax cuts for the rich!” “Republicans want to destroy Social Security!” “Republicans want to take away healthcare!” and so on.
After these narratives have never actually proven true in generations, you would think the Democrats would try something new. But the broken record keeps spinning.
After Speaker Mike Johnson secured a narrow victory (217-213) to pass the budget resolution this week, Democrats immediately launched their predictable fear campaign, accusing Republicans of gutting Medicaid. Does the budget resolution gut Medicaid? No.
Just when we think it's safe for young women to go back into the water and compete against only women and not a bedlamite dudette in a bikini, along come activist judges to spew communism in the face of sanity.
FACT-O-RAMA! Forcing young women to compete against men—and then shower naked with them—is sick, and you'll understand if I can't let such perversian pass without mocking the brain-free, easily-controlled simps who embrace "woke" so that someone doesn't call them names like "transphobe," "thinker," or "sane."
Trump's February 5, 2025, executive orders (EO) stated that men with kangaroos in the top paddock can't jump into the ring and
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Before we get to the "pity poor Gaza" freaks I just wanted to come clean about something. I am not at all caught up with the Jeffrey Epstein stuff. I mean, like, all the way back to the beginning. Sure, I loved the "Epstein didn't kill himself" memes, but I never bothered to read up on much of it. All I know is that, if we do learn everything, there may be pictures of Bill Clinton spooning with Prince Andrew and an underage pool boy.
I don't have the bandwidth for that.

Nine months after Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight shots at President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pa., we're still being kept in the dark about what really happened. And if you think we're getting the full story from the FBI, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you because something isn’t adding up.
Crooks is described by those who knew him as a "seemingly mild-mannered" 20-year-old with nearly straight A's throughout school and an impressive 1530 SAT score. Somehow, he transformed into an assassin on July 13, 2024. Yet, unlike most mass shooters, he left no manifesto explaining his actions.
Trump miraculously survived with only an ear wound.

Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is getting a quick lesson on performance approval polls. It turns out that lousy mayors and governors get bad approval numbers. Here is the story:
In January 2023, shortly before the February Chicago mayoral elections, former Mayor Lori Lightfoot had a dismal 22% approval rating. Current Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval has now sunk even lower, to only 6.6% in the latest poll, as issues such as rising crime concern residents of the Windy City.
In the latest poll from M3 Strategies, which surveyed 696 likely Chicago voters Feb. 20-21, 67% said that crime was one of the top three issues facing Chicago,

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance teamed up during a fiery White House meeting on Friday to epically put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his place.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Zelensky arrived at the White House on Friday to meet with President Trump to discuss his rare earth mineral rights proposal.
Ukraine agreed to Trump’s requested mineral rights deal with the US earlier this week to compensate Americans for the hundreds of billions of dollars the Biden regime had given them since the Ukraine-Russia war started three years ago.

Legendary actor, two-time Oscar winner and author Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday afternoon in their home in the Santa Fe Summit community northeast of the city.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed just after midnight Thursday the couple had died, along with their dog.
Mendoza said in an interview Wednesday evening there was no immediate indication of foul play. He did not provide a cause of death or say when the couple might have died.
Five former secretaries of Defense have signed a letter protesting the firing by President Trump of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C. Q. Brown, demanding the Senate refuse to confirm Trump’s nominee to replace Brown and for Congress to investigate the firing of Brown and other senior officers by Trump.
Trump nominated retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to replace Brown. Caine will need a waiver from Trump on meeting the legal requirements for the chairman.
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg said during a discussion about President Donald Trump‘s gold card immigration proposal that immigrants are necessary because Americans are not helpful in knowing how to “do stuff.”
“My point is, we’ve spent over 100 years saying to people, come, you’re welcome. We’ll take you. Now, nobody knows how you get in, what do you do because it’s a mess,” Goldberg said Wednesday on The View in a rant about the immigration system under the Trump administration. “So I want somebody to make up your mind so people know what to do.”
Jill Biden’s former press secretary, Michael LaRosa, admitted the Biden White House covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and “gaslighted” the public about his deteriorating condition.
For years, The Gateway Pundit documented Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
The fake news media attacked the conservative media for posting videos of demented Biden wandering around lost and accused us of posting “cheap fakes.”
Last June, the Biden Camp and their stenographers in the media went into full-blown panic mode after a video of Biden wandering away from the G7 group went viral.
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Thursday that “thousands of pages” of documents in the FBI’s investigation into the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were withheld from her.
And she’s demanding that they be turned over by Friday morning.
Bondi, 59, disclosed in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel a tipster said that all but “approximately 200 pages of documents” were still being kept secret at the FBI’s office in New York — despite her after repeated requests for the “full” Epstein files.
The initial batch included flight logs, phone numbers and the names of victims, but a source in the FBI’s New York office reached out and said that hundreds
Dylan Mulvaney, the man single-handedly responsible for the destruction of beer brand Bud Light, says his subjective feelings are “living proof” that “far right” anti-trans ideas are false.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, the transgender activist and social media star claimed that he is living his life in defiance of criticism of the transgender movement.
“If I’m living my life, and I’m successful, and I’m happy, and I’m thriving, and I’m feeling euphoric, that means that whatever is being pushed by the far right or extremists — what they’re saying isn’t true. I’m living proof that it’s not,” he said.
On Sunday night, President Donald Trump announced that Dan Bongino would be filling the role of deputy director at the FBI. This comes after Kash Patel was confirmed a few days before as the bureau's director. Trump's pick of Patel and now Bongino have fired up leftist commentators and Democratic politicians so fiercely, they've taken to forget very key details about what makes Bongino qualified.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) who, along with all of his Democratic colleagues, did not vote to confirm Patel, was particularly incensed about Bongino. So much so, that he left out key details of what makes him qualified, and it's not merely because it's Trump's right
When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap. Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice) He did, however, release a summary of what Swalwell said and a video of him confronting Swalwell as the group exited the restaurant.
One year after California introduced a first-of-its-kind $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers, an increase of up to 70 cents is slated for a vote. California's Fast Food Council, comprised of fast-food workers, restaurant owners and state officials, approved a motion Wednesday to consider a cost-of-living-adjustment at an upcoming meeting. (Snip) Workers and labor advocates said the increase was needed to address rising costs of living in one of the country's most expensive states to live. Veronica Gonzales, a fast-food worker, spoke remotely from a room full of workers organized under the California Fast Food Workers Union’s San Jose chapter.
An anti-Trump boycott on Friday?

If you haven’t heard, leftists are taking their ball and going home, like petulant toddlers, on Friday, February 28. The news on socialist...er, social media lately has been about the “Feb. 28 economic blackout,” which is supposed to be a protest by leftists over the fact that they lost the election. They want people to refrain from participating in the economy for 24 hours — specifically those major retailers that dared scale back on Didn’t Earn It efforts.[Snip] Remember that the order from the left is “no Amazon, no Walmart, no fast food,”
