Last week after the sham guilty verdict came down in New York City, Trump announced that he had raised a staggering $400 million.
This week, during a one night event in Silicon Valley, hosted by entrepreneur David Sacks, Trump raised another $12 million – in just one night.
The fact that people in blue Silicon Valley are stepping up to support Trump, post-NYC verdict, shows that the political narrative has shifted. No one could have imagined Trump getting this kind of support in such a blue area four years ago.
Breitbart News reported:
Trump Raises $12M at Silicon Valley Fundraiser Hosted by Venture Capitalist David Sacks
Former President Donald Trump raised $12 million at a Silicon Valley fundraiser in deep blue state California on Thursday, according to a member of the California Republican National Committee.
Harmeet Dhillon posted on X: “$12M raised tonight! Incredible support for @realDonaldTrump. Not an empty seat in the gorgeous home of @DavidSacks and Jacqueline. Thrilled to see the tech leaders stepping up!”
It was the first fundraiser since Trump’s conviction last week, illustrating the former president’s ability to raise funds and garner support despite Democrats’ best efforts to label him a “convicted felon” and hurt his candidacy…
The fundraiser was co-hosted by Sacks and fellow venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya. The two co-host the popular “All-In” podcast.
According to the Times, the initial goal of the fundraiser was $5 million — an amount that was exceeded by more than double. About 25 were expected to attend a dinner as part of the fundraiser, with another approximately 50 slated to attend a bigger reception.
In a lengthy post on Twitter/X, David Sacks explained his support for Trump:
Why I’m Backing President Trump
As many press accounts have reported, I’m hosting a fundraising event for President Donald J. Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening.
Over the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many, but endorse few.
But today I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability – issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back.

Cities across the country are dealing with a large increase in their homeless populations, but the problem in Los Angeles dwarfs other locations.
The city is reportedly building a new tower to house the homeless on the notorious ‘Skid Row’ which will feature one-bedroom and studio apartments, a gym, a cafe, an art studio and more.
While the city should be congratulated for trying to address the homeless problem, one has to wonder if this is really the best approach.

The Daily Mail reports:
Homeless people on LA’s Skid Row to move into swanky new tower block fit with a gym, café and art studio
A multi-story tower block built on Los Angeles’s Skid Row, which is designed exclusively to house the homeless, is now open for leasing.
The Weingart Towers is a 278-unit fully-furnished residential building that has a gym, soundproofed music room, television lounge, café, and an art studio inside.
This month, the sprawling building is all set to become a ‘self-contained environment’ that will take in city-dwellers living on the streets.
New residents will be able to enjoy the swanky amenities, as well as appliance-filled renovated kitchens and wall-mounted televisions inside their apartment units.
The building, which was entirely funded by public sources, will also provide on-site case management and physical and mental health care – designed to help its new residents get their lives back on track.
Out of the building’s 278 units, 40 are also reserved for veteran households.
Some people are skeptical about the plan.
Why are we incentivizing homelessness in CA, without requiring that they submit to mental heath treatment and/or drug rehab? This makes as much sense as giving out free unlimited healthcare to illegal immigrants. https://t.co/CfYe67h3LY

Recent polls have suggested that Trump and Biden are currently tied in Virginia. This is big news because a Republican hasn’t carried Virginia in a presidential race since 2004.
Biden won the state in 2020 and Hillary Clinton carried it in 2016.
Could that change this year? Virginia’s Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin seems to think so.
FOX News reports:
Governor says Trump could become the first GOP presidential candidate to win his state in 20 years
It’s been two decades since a Republican carried Virginia in the race for the White House.
You have to go back to then-President George W. Bush, who won the Commonwealth in his 2004 re-election victory.
Democrats have carried the state in four straight presidential elections, including President Biden’s 10-point victory over Donald Trump four years ago as he won the White House.
But GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin thinks the former president has a very good shot of ending the Republican losing streak in Virginia as Trump faces off this autumn with Biden in a 2024 election rematch.
“Let’s just begin by remembering where we were in 2020 when Joe Biden won Virginia by 10 points, and the fact that we’re having this discussion is a huge turn of events,” Youngkin said earlier this week in a Fox News Digital interview in New Orleans, as he attended a Republican Governors Association (RGA) conference.
Youngkin emphasized that “we’re here in June and there’s still a lot of water to go under the bridge, but Virginia looks like it’s in play and that’s pretty exciting.”
Even the FOX News poll, which always seems to lean left for some reason, has Trump tied with Biden in Virginia.

Since the announcement of the sham verdict in New York, Trump’s fundraising has been on fire and his campaign has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars.
Democrats and the talking heads at MSNBC have noticed and they are clearly concerned.
The far left network recently did a report on a Trump event in Silicon Valley and noted that it’s traditionally a liberal stronghold.
RedState reports:
RedState has written about former President Donald Trump’s sudden fundraising success, which has taken off following his conviction in the Manhattan trial. On Thursday, an MSNBC panel speculated about it, talking in part about it happening in Silicon Valley.
The panel pointed out the early post-verdict fundraising numbers, including a major donation almost immediately on the heels of the conviction. But what’s really great about the MSNBC speculation is the claim that President Biden was “too quiet for too long.” That’s rich, when one considers the recent history of President Biden saying, well, anything.
As the panel revealed, the former president had a roster of fundraisers and rallies on the West Coast; aside from the Silicon Valley fundraiser, Trump will be holding events in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.
When asked about Trump’s support in the area, the correspondent on the ground, Dierdre Bosa, the anchor of CNBC’s “Tech Check” referred to Silicon Valley as a “liberal bastion” – she’s not wrong – and evinces some surprise at having seen someone wearing “full Republican gear.” It’s not clear what “full Republican gear” involves, so we shall have to take Ms. Bosa at her word.

British comedian and actor Russell Brand has been very red-pilled in recent years.
During an episode of his podcast this week, he said that if you truly care about democracy and freedom, he doesn’t know how you could do anything other than voting for Donald Trump in November.
He pointed out that the Democrats are basically the opposite of what they claim.
Breitbart News has details:
Russell Brand: Americans Concerned About Freedom and Democracy Should Vote for Trump
British actor Russell Brand said Americans who are concerned about freedom and democracy should vote for former President Donald Trump in November.
“In a straight choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don’t know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can’t,” he said in the latest episode of his podcast, an advanced excerpt of which was obtained by Fox News.
Russell Brand was interviewing RNC spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko when the conversation turned to Trump and the election.
“They act as if a vote for Donald Trump is almost like you’re directly voting for Armageddon, like you see hysterical performances outside of courtrooms, endless MSNBC bombast,” Brand said.
“But I’m starting to think that no, a greater threat to democracy is this kind of technological feudalism, that tells you that it cares about you and that it’s protecting vulnerable people, all the while increasing censorship, increasing the funding of wars, increasing the division between ordinary Americans.”

George Stephanopoulos, the former Bill Clinton staffer who is now the political director of ABC News for some reason, said recently that it is journalistic malpractice for a reporter to do a live TV interview with Trump.
You can tell that Stephanopoulos is greatly worried that Trump will win because he has increased the number and severity of his attacks on Trump in recent months.
He has even lectured his audience about the importance of the election.
FOX News reports:
ABC’s Stephanopoulos claims airing Trump interviews live is ‘journalistic malpractice’
During a recent interview, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos claimed it is irresponsible for media outlets to air live television interviews with former President Trump.
The anchor and former President Clinton adviser spoke to Mediaite editor-in-chief Aidan McLaughlin for the inaugural episode of the outlet’s “Press Club” podcast airing on Saturday. The two journalists spoke about covering the presidential election this year and how the media need to approach reporting on the former president.
“I mean, I think it’s journalistic malpractice to do a live interview with President Trump on television,” Stephanopoulos told McLaughlin during the remote interview.
The Mediaite host brought up the topic, stating how Trump is difficult to handle because “I have long felt that Trump’s superpower is a lack of shame.”
“Huge,” the ABC man chimed in.
McLaughlin continued, “And you see it when, you know, when he’ll be up on a town hall stage or a debate stage, or in an interview with a reporter, and he’ll say ‘Two plus two equals five,’ and he’ll get fact-checked and we’ll just keep barreling through. Or, when there’s a controversy and he doesn’t apologize for it when any other politician in the history of politics would.”

Many people have been wondering if the sham New York guilty verdict would have any effect on Trump’s polling. Now the results are starting to roll in and so far it’s all bad news for Biden.
In at least two new polls, Trump is still leading Biden.
This is a clear indication that the public knows the Democrat legal crusade against Trump is purely political.
Townhall reports on new polling from Emerson:
Here’s What a New National Survey Shows About Trump’s Support Post-Conviction
A new national survey from Emerson College Polling shows support for former President Donald Trump remained the same despite a criminal conviction in the sham hush money trial.
In a two-way race, 46 percent of voters support Trump while 45 percent back President Joe Biden. Nine percent are undecided. The race is an even, 50-50 split when the undecideds were pushed to name which candidate they’re leaning toward.
When third-party candidates are included, Biden takes a bigger hit than Trump.

During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan was speaking to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and remarked that the Democrat lawfare campaign against Trump is ‘scary’ in that so many Democrats are fine with it.
He correctly points out that Democrats are setting a precedent that they may soon regret.
He recalls how the left wanted Obama to go after Bush and Cheney for war crimes and notes that Obama – who killed an American citizen with a drone strike – could now face similar charges if someone wanted to go after him.
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
Like, if you have the backing of the political party, it doesn’t matter, especially the party that’s in charge.
What’s scary is how many Democrats are willing to allow this kind of stuff to happen. A lot of them are aware of it. There was this one lady that went viral, and she was talking about it, and she was saying, “You have to understand, I’m not a Trump supporter. I don’t like Trump, but this is really dangerous for democracy. Nobody can justify this, and nobody could say this guy should be in jail for this. This doesn’t make any sense.”
And especially if you wanted to look at past presidents with the same scrutiny. There are so many instances of things that you could go after. This is one of the things Obama said when he got into office. They were talking about George Bush and Dick Cheney being charged with war crimes. And he was saying, “We’re not going to look to the past; we’re going to look towards the future. We’re not going to prosecute anybody.”
Imagine if, when Obama got into office, he decided to prosecute Dick Cheney and George Bush for crimes against humanity. Oh, my God. Do you know how crazy that would be? You know how divided the country would be then? Well, that’s the same thing kind of taking place now on a lesser scale, obviously, because it’s not a war crime you’re charging someone with, but you could. You could charge Trump with war crimes. You could find some things that he did, especially with bombings. Even what Obama did — during the administration, they dropped a drone on a US citizen. No trial, no nothing. Boom.
TONY HINCHCLIFFE: Trump didn’t even go for Obama. He didn’t go for Hillary. He could have. He could have tried them for things.
JOE ROGAN: Well, especially Hillary, especially with the whole email thing, the deleting the emails.

The crime problem in Oakland has been well documented. They recently replaced traffic lights with stop signs because people were stealing the copper wire in the lights. Parts of the city look like a post-apocalyptic waste land.
Things have gotten so bad that when the city recently tried to repair potholes, workers wouldn’t finish the job because they felt unsafe.
How is this all happening in an American city?
FOX News reports:
Oakland community left with gaping potholes after crime crisis drives away construction crew
An East Oakland community’s roads remain mottled with gaping potholes after safety concerns led a construction crew to abandon their repaving project, according to a local report.
“He essentially said that the work was suspended and he couldn’t tell me the time frame when they would return because the contractor halted all the work because they felt unsafe,” Shari Angarano, a resident of the Sobrante Park area, told the Daily Mail of her recent call with the project manager.
“They were not going to restart the project until the City of Oakland could guarantee a safe work environment for them,” she added…
Angarano spoke on camera with KRON 4 San Francisco where she said the existing pavement was ripped up last month to prepare for the repaving, but the day the crew was slated to repave the roads, they never showed up.
“There’s more and more gravel and rocks being kicked up every day, every time the bus passes by,” she told the outlet. “I did pose that question to the project manager… what happens if my tires get popped? All he could do was tell me to submit a request to the city for reimbursement.”

The Biden campaign recently accused John Roberts of lying about a Trump era policy that Biden is trying to take credit for and they are now living to regret it.
Roberts took to the airwaves on Wednesday and disproved the Biden campaign’s accusation and he brought all of the receipts to back up his argument.
You can tell from the way Roberts addresses this that he is not cool with what Biden’s people tried to do here.
RedState reported:
The “Biden-Harris HQ,” which is an official arm of the Biden campaign, found itself facing pushback after it claimed Fox News’ John Roberts had told a “blatant lie” regarding Trump and insulin prices. Here’s what the post, which still hasn’t been deleted or corrected, looked like.
The problem? Their “fact-check” is factually untrue, and Roberts wasn’t willing to take the accusation lying down. Instead, he took the airwaves with a handful of receipts and delivered a takedown of the Biden campaign.
ROBERTS: Yesterday, coming out of a segment in which the $35 insulin co-pay under the Inflation Reduction Act was mentioned, I remarked that I recalled back in May of 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that stated President Trump had a plan to lower insulin co-pays to $35. The Biden campaign’s rapid response issued a post on X saying the following: “Fox host tries to claim Trump, not President Biden capped insulin at $35 a month. Fact-check: This is a blatant lie.”
But there are receipts to dispute the Biden campaign’s claim about what I said.
This is the Biden team tweet that started this:

Joe Biden is having trouble focusing on day-to-day tasks of his job because he is worried about the Hunter Biden gun trial and is obsessing over it, according to recent reports.
It has always been clear that Hunter is a weak and vulnerable point for Joe Biden. When he is forced to comment on his son or defend his history, he has a pattern of losing his cool pretty quickly.
The fact that Jill Biden has been visible in the courtroom during the trial suggests that she is worried about the outcome as well.
Breitbart News reports:
Report: Distracted Joe Biden Obsesses, Worries About Hunter’s Gun Trial
President Joe Biden is having trouble focusing on work because he is obsessing and worrying about his son’s gun trial in Delaware, a report by Politico claims.
The White House claimed twice Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter if found guilty in his gun or tax cases.
Joe Biden, who is in France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, is closely following Hunter Biden’s trial, which Politico characterized as a “distraction,” according to three people familiar with his conversations.
White House aides reportedly hope Joe Biden’s trip to France will “help Biden obsess a little less about the trial,” but “advisers know it will never be far from his mind.”
Joe Biden is constantly texting and calling family members who are watching the proceedings back home for updates, Politico set out.
First Lady Jill Biden, who attended the first two days, and Hunter’s wife Melissa Cohen Biden, are in court Wednesday. At least ten Biden associates are in the gallery, NBC News reported.
Joe Biden has good reasons to be worried. The Hunter trial is revealing damning new details almost every day.

MSNBC relic Chris Matthews, who is perhaps best remembered for saying that Obama sent a thrill up his leg in 2008, recently appeared on the network’s Morning Joe program to sow fear over Donald Trump.
Matthews claimed that it’s ‘very reasonable’ to assume that if Trump is reelected that he will become a dictator.
This fear-mongering is all the left has. They can’t make a case for reelecting Joe Biden so they have been reduced to trying to scare voters out of supporting Trump.
There is absolutely zero evidence that Trump would become an authoritarian. There is however, ample evidence that Joe Biden already is an authoritarian on many issues.
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: This is the opposite of Donald Trump, who wants to put them before firing squads, basically. He wants put them all in jail. He’s unbelievable the way he talks about his opponents.
This is exactly the choice we have a dictatorship, or a democracy. We have to choose.
This election is about more than abortion, it is about the whole question of what kind of government we’re going to have? What kind of country do we want to live in, do we have a dictator who tells the U.S. Congress don’t do anything about the border, don’t do anything, let it rock n roll, let thousands come through between now and election day, it doesn’t matter if they stay here forever, as long as we win the election.
He’s going to talk like that to the Supreme Court. He would love to see them give him immunity, he would love to get that. He’s probably counting on it in this trial in New York too, about the hush money. He’s probably working on some back room plan to somehow speed this to the Supreme Court and let Alito and that incredible coup they pulled off there against Judge Roberts. Alito is running the show. So, you never know what can happen with his five members.
I’m telling you, Trump could end up rolling the score. “I’ve got the Congress and I’ve got the Supreme Court, I own it all, I am a dictator.” It is very reasonable to assume that’s where he’s headed.

CNN reporter Jackie Kucinich recently admitted on the air that concerns about Joe Biden’s age and mental decline are real and are not going away.
She was referencing the Wall Street Journal report that talked about lawmakers from both parties saying that the issue has gotten worse and that Biden is not the same man as he once was.
She and her colleague then suggest that this is the reason people on the left are putting so much importance on the June debate, because it will give Biden a chance to overcome this perception.
FOX News reports:
Biden’s old age concerns aren’t going away soon, CNN reporter says: ‘This isn’t Benjamin Button here’
CNN reporter Jackie Kucinich said doubt around President Biden’s mental sharpness will not go away after The Wall Street Journal reported that some lawmakers and other officials are concerned the chief executive has slowed down.
“It’s not going away,” Kucinich said. “He’s not going to age backwards.”
“This isn’t Benjamin Button here,” she added, referencing the eponomyous 2008 movie character who ages in reverse. “This is Joe Biden.”…
Kucinich said it was clear Biden’s advisers are concerned his age is an issue for his presidential campaign. She pointed to reports that the White House reached out to lawmakers to call the Journal back about their statements.
“You don’t keep tabs on Democrats that The Wall Street Journal is interviewing and then have them circle back to highlight Biden’s strength if … you don’t think this is a vulnerability,” Kucinich said. “All [the Biden campaign] can do is present him in as strong of a position as they can.”
She also said the first debate between Biden and former President Trump, scheduled for June 27 on CNN, will be critical for convincing voters of Biden’s mental fitness.

Joe Biden’s cognitive decline in recent years has been completely obvious to the American people, but Democrats and the media have tried very hard to gaslight the public.
People like Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre tried to sell the idea that behind closed doors, Biden was as mentally sharp as ever.
That narrative is slipping away quickly, the closer we get to the election.
In a shocking new story from the Wall Street Journal, Republicans and Democrats alike claim that Biden is not the man he once was. The WSJ story is behind a paywall, but the New York Post has details:
Biden showing signs of decline as pols, aides detail 81-year-old’s slipping cognitive fitness: ‘Not the same person’
President Biden’s cognitive decline is readily apparent and a concern for dozens who have interacted with the 81-year-old commander-in-chief in recent months, according to a shocking report Tuesday.
Some of the more the 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers interviewed by the Wall Street Journal described a president who spoke so softly during meetings that participants struggled to understand him.
Others noted that Biden’s demeanor and grasp of policy details varied by the day and he frequently relied on notes and deferred to aides during conferences.
“You couldn’t be there and not feel uncomfortable,” one person, who met with the president during critical negotiations over congressional funding for Ukraine aid in January, told the outlet…
Biden would “ramble,” mumble and his ability to command the room varied from day to day during tense negotiations over raising the debt ceiling last May, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) recalled.
Again, none of this is news to the public. People have watched Biden over the last few years, amazed that Democrats and the media have tried to claim that the man is just fine. He is not fine.

Back in March, Senator Bob Menendez who is under investigation for corruption, said he would not seek reelection in November. In May, Menendez got a bit more specific and said that he would not seek the Democrat nomination to run for reelection.
Now we know that Menendez was just playing word games, because he just filed papers to run for reelection as an Independent.
Despite facing multiple damning allegations of corruption, this guy just can’t let go of his position. He wants to keep his job as a senator and all of the perks that come with it.
The Hill reports:
Menendez files independent bid for Senate seat
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) filed to run for another term in the Senate as an independent on Monday, as his federal bribery trial continues.
Menendez had announced in March that he would not seek the Democratic nomination for his Senate seat but left the door open to possibly pursuing an independent run. The longtime senator is facing numerous charges in a wide-ranging corruption case in which prosecutors allege he and his wife accepted bribes in exchange for favors for three businessmen.
Menendez, who has pleaded not guilty, submitted his paperwork for the independent bid one day before New Jersey’s Tuesday deadline for candidates…
Menendez seemed likely to seek and win another term in office as the Democratic nominee heading into the fall but received widespread calls to resign from his office after he and his wife were accused of accepting more than $600,000 in bribes from the businessmen.
He apparently doesn’t even have a staff.

The post REPORT: Embattled NJ Democrat Senator Bob Menendez Files Papers to Run for Another Term – As an Independent appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The troubles at the liberal Washington Post are nothing new. The paper has lost millions over the last year and has even considered replacing journalists with AI bots.
Now things are getting even worse. Sally Buzbee, the executive editor is stepping down and the paper’s CEO recently held a meeting with the staff to inform them that people are not reading the content they are producing.
It is an election year and there is no shortage of news, but the Washington Post is flailing. What does that tell you?
FOX News reported:
WaPo boss sounds alarm over dwindling audience in heated staff meeting: ‘People are not reading your stuff’
Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis had a blunt message for his staff during a tense meeting following the sudden ouster of executive editor Sally Buzbee, according to the paper’s own reporting.
“We are going to turn this thing around, but let’s not sugarcoat it. It needs turning around,” Lewis told the paper. “We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”
Lewis informed his staff Sunday night that Buzbee, who joined the Post in 2021, was parting ways with the paper “effective immediately.” He announced her temporary replacement would be former Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Matt Murray, who is expected to hold the position through the 2024 election cycle, and that the paper was being restructured into “three newsrooms,” in hopes of turning things around for the beleaguered “Democracy Dies in Darkness” publication.
The Washington Post reported Monday that Buzbee was uncomfortable with an offer to run a different division of the paper. She also reportedly had urged Lewis to hold off on implementing such changes until after the election, which Lewis refused.
During the meeting, some of the staffers reportedly tried to make the issue all about race and gender.
This scene is too perfect. The woke toddlers who flew the Washington Post into the side of a mountain are lecturing the guys hired to pick up the wreckage about diversity and gender. The very obsessions that cost the paper its readership. Perfection. https://t.co/Rgq5qqRZYm

Bill Maher seems resigned to the idea that Joe Biden is going to lose the 2024 election to Trump.
During a recent conversation with the leftist journalist Kara Swisher, Maher said that he will vote for Biden over Trump but that it doesn’t matter because Biden is going to ‘f-ing lose.’
Swisher disagreed, naturally.
Breitbart News reported:
Comedian Bill Maher made a bold prediction this week in the wake of former President Trump’s guilty verdict, telling tech journalist Kara Swisher that Joe Biden is “going to fucking lose.”
Maher made his prediction during an episode of his podcast, emphasizing that he still supports Biden but feels that he failed to meet the moment.
“I would vote for [Biden’s] head in a jar of blue liquid over Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean that I’m — first of all, I think it’s a moot point at this point. He’s going to fucking lose,” Maher told Swisher.
Maher mostly knocked Biden for his age and him being a feeble 81-year-old man. Swisher, however, believed that a “silent majority” will come out and pull the lever for Biden.
“We don’t want chaos again,” she said.
Here’s the clip:
After realizing that Trump's verdict has not helped Biden in polling, panic is setting in for the Democrats:

The media in the United States is broken beyond repair. We all know this because we all see them day after day and we know that they are Democrat activists first and journalists second.
Kurt Schlichter is the senior columnist at Townhall. In a recent column, he laid out a series of suggestions for Trump and dealing with the press.
In short, Schlichter says that time is short and there are certain people in the press who should just be shut out of the conversation.
From Schlichter’s column:
The regime media’s erotic spasms over the NYC kangaroo kourt konviction – and the free media’s backlash against it – reaffirm the new information reality. Conservatives must understand that this is not the same media environment that most of us older Republicans grew up in. There aren’t just three networks. There aren’t just a couple basic cable news channels. There aren’t just the Washington Post and the New York Times. There’s a whole world of new and different information sources that scoff at the old-school zeitgeist gatekeepers…
Republicans, even Donald Trump, used to go on CBS or NBC regularly, or talk to the New York Times, and then collectively scratch their heads when they got their good faith rammed up where the sun don’t shine. But these are skin suit outlets, shells of the prestigious media icons of the past. These entities are now active enemies. They’re not just skeptical. They’re not just people who disagree with us. They’re certainly not objective, neutral truthtellers whose only goal is to enlighten the masses. They want to actively influence the masses, yet they want the respect that objective journalists might be due.
The regime media must be shunned. Cut out, iced out, kicked out. They don’t get called on. They don’t get talked to. They get ignored. Starve them…
A powerful, offensive, conservative media strategy is not a luxury. It is a necessity. The regime media has been completely weaponized against us, and it must be not just neutralized but actively defeated.
Schlichter is correct about all of this. If Trump wins a second term, he should not waste time arguing with activists from NBC News or the New York Times. There will not be a second to waste and these media outlets don’t deserve the attention anyway.
The post Conservative Columnist Outlines What Trump’s Media Strategy Should Look Like in a Second Term appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
MSNBC’s so-called ‘historian’ Michael Beschloss went on a rant this weekend about Trump being a dictator and how a second term for him would lead to anarchy.
If you watch the clip below, you’ll notice that Beschloss goes out of his way to use multiple Democrat party talking points.
This guy and people like him should not be on television. He is spreading hysteria and fear based on lies. He is transferring his own mental illness to the viewing audience.
FOX News reported:
Presidential historian warns second Trump term would lead to ‘dictatorship and anarchy’
An MSNBC presidential historian warned on Saturday if former President Trump were to win back the White House that the United States would devolve into “dictatorship and anarchy.”
“He is saying, I will dismantle our rule of law, which is the glory of America, keeps the peace, assures fairness when it works for all Americans. You’ve got dictatorship and anarchy at the same time,” historian Michael Beschloss said on MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capeheart.”
“The choice is actually pretty clear, we’ve got a convicted felon,” Beschloss added.
He then went on to reference Trump’s public statement after the trial, citing that the former president said “the system is rotten” and that he wants to “dismantle parts of the Constitution.”
Trump was found guilty by a jury in New York City on all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in his history-making case in which a former or current president for the first time was tried in court.

Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas appeared on Meet the Press this weekend and addressed the subject of the Trump guilty verdict in New York by systematically pointing out everything that was wrong with the trial and the outcome.
Meet the Press host Peter Alexander debated him every step of the way, as if he was arguing with a political opponent, because that’s the way the media works for Republicans, but Cotton held his own.
Cotton pointed out that if this had happened in a foreign country, the United States would sanction them.
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
PETER ALEXANDER, NBC NEWS: Let me go back, Senator, to my initial question, which is if it’s so objectionable for the justice system, as you say, to be weaponized by Joe Biden against Donald Trump, why is it appropriate for Donald Trump to campaign on weaponizing it against Joe Biden?
SENATOR TOM COTTON: Donald Trump has said that his so-called retribution will be success, success at the ballot box and then restoring peace and prosperity.
PETER ALEXANDER: Well, he also said “An eye for an eye” – so he hasn’t said it sincerely.
SENATOR TOM COTTON: In 2016 when so many people insisted that Hillary Clinton should face criminal charges for doing exactly what Donald Trump was wrongly accused of doing, which is mischaracterizing legal expenses as something else, remember she paid for the dirty Russian dossier that characterizes legal expenses. She paid a fine to the FEC. Donald Trump specifically said he would not prosecute Hillary Clinton because that’s not what we do in America. What the Democrats have done in New York is like something that would happen in Pakistan or Brazil. It’s something that America would sanction another country for for engaging in election interference.
PETER ALEXANDER: Sir, he campaigned on locking up Hillary Clinton… then after said he wouldn’t do it?
SENATOR TOM COTTON: And he said after the election that that’s not what we do in America. If New York was a foreign –
PETER ALEXANDER: I guess let’s get back to the question about –
SENATOR TOM COTTON: No, Peter, if New York was a foreign country, America would sanction them for the weaponization of the legal system, their political opponents, and rigging election outcomes.

Sorry, Democrats. You’re stuck with Joe Biden.
This weekend on the Bill Maher show, Bill asked former Obama adviser David Axelrod about the idea of replacing Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket with someone else.
Axelrod poured cold water all over the idea, saying that it’s a ‘fantasy’ and that Biden is not going anywhere.
FOX News reported:
David Axelrod swats Bill Maher’s suggestion Biden could be swapped from Dem ticket: ‘Fantasy’
Maher cited one of Axelrod’s own past comments suggesting he thought there was plenty of “talent” within the Democratic Party who could “emerge” as the new standard-bearer.
“The debate is June 27, and we’ve never had one before the convention,” Maher said. “If Joe really s—s the bed, would that be a good opportunity to make the switch then?”
“Listen, that is a fantasy that I hear a lot,” Axelrod responded. “I like Joe Biden and I worked with him and I was grateful to work with him and I think he’s done a lot of very, very fine things as president for which history will be kind him. That’s not the question. The question is whether at this age you should have run, but he did run. And right now he is the nominee of the Democratic Party.”
“This is not 1968 where the convention is gonna decide. We changed the rules. Voters nominate a candidate. They’ve nominated Joe Biden, and he’s not going anywhere,” Axelrod told Maher. “There’s no generation of elders who are gonna go to the White House and tell him that he can’t run. He is going to run and one of the reasons they want an early debate I’m sure is to focus people on this is the choice! It’s Trump and Biden.”
Here’s the video:
Despite Bill Maher and other top Democrats' fears about Joe Biden, David Axelrod assures that Biden will not be swapped out for another candidate:

However much you despise the media, it isn’t enough.
The liberal outlet ‘Politico’ has just published a piece about Alvin Bragg and his case against Trump, but calls Bragg the ‘reluctant’ prosecutor.
That’s pretty funny, considering that Bragg ran for office on the campaign promise that he would ‘get’ Trump.
The Politico piece is pure garbage, praising Bragg for his assault on justice:
This reluctant prosecutor just made Donald Trump a felon
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg won more than just the case when a jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts.
The Harlem Democrat, who at times seemed like a reluctant participant in a trial he launched, secured a place in history as the first prosecutor to land the conviction of an American president.
It’s easily one of the most dazzling feats of jurisprudence the nation has seen — and the sort of accomplishment that could launch him on a political rocket ship to Washington. Indeed, the conviction Thursday drew immediate praise and gratitude from Democrats, who see the former president as a unique threat to democracy — while also intensifying attacks from his supporters and the freshly convicted candidate himself, who has called the case a “witch hunt” and a “sham trial” organized by President Joe Biden.
Politico got called out, big time:

Zeldin published his statement on Twitter.

Townhall has transcribed parts of the copy:
This case should have never been brought forward in the first place. This political persecution, designed to interfere with the 2024 election, was a disgusting abuse and weaponization of the criminal justice system. This ruling is obviously going to be overturned on appeal, but, for Democrats, this case was never about the merits. This was a coordinated effort by a District Attorney fulfilling a campaign pledge to prosecute Trump without the slightest clue of the possible charge. With the help of the Biden Justice Department, this sham trial was a campaign inside of a campaign to secure a talking point, regardless of how much damage it could cause to our country and criminal justice system…
There is no greater threat to Democracy than Joe Biden and the Democrats trying to lock up Biden’s chief political opposition for the rest of his life, keep Trump off the campaign trail, bankrupt him and his family, remove him from the November ballot, and deny Americans the right to choose for themselves who they want to elect as their next President. This all serves as a reminder of just how urgent and necessary our victory will be November 5th.
Zeldin made similar points during an appearance on ABC News:

Real estate investor Grant Cardone appeared on the Fox Business Network this week following the latest Trump verdict and said that it is going to have far reaching effects on the city’s economy.
He suggested that nobody (including him) wants to do business in New York City anymore because they no longer trust the political and legal system there.
Cardone says that the people who are invested in his company wouldn’t even allow him to do business there.
From FOX Business:
“If they can do this to Donald Trump, a former president, regardless of how you feel about the politics, if they can do this to a former president, what can they do to Grant Cardone? What can they do to any other businessman?,” the Cardone Capital founder also chimed in Friday on “Varney & Co.”
Cardone recently pulled his business out of the Empire State and cautioned that Trump’s legal troubles — including a previous $355 million fine in a New York civil fraud case in February — would “wreak financial havoc” on the city.
“I have 15,000 investors with me at Cardone Capital. We’ve raised $1.3 billion. If I went to them today and said, ‘I want to invest in New York City,’ they would not give me money to do that,” the investor argued.
“That’s one of the greatest cities on planet Earth. And nobody wants to go there and do business,” Cardone continued. “I blame the legal system. Clearly, the political system has been weaponized.”
Watch the video below:
New York City is already struggling under the weight of crime, reduced revenue due to people leaving, and the border crisis.
Now they are also going to deal with fewer investments from people just like Cardone.
This situation is going to have an impact on NYC that will last a long time and in ways that cannot even be seen yet.

Mark Levin of FOX News reacted to the Trump verdict on the Sean Hannity show last night and offered advice to Trump and his legal team.
Levin is a lawyer who worked in the Reagan Justice Department.
He thinks that this case needs to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, ASAP.
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
MARK LEVIN, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: Well, I’ll say this, no crime, no jurisdiction, no due process, conflicted judge, Soros prosecutor, Manhattan jury.
You know, I’m going to tell you something, Sean, I’ve spent most of my legal career not as a former federal prosecutor, although I served as an chief of staff to an attorney general. I’ve spent most of my legal career fighting these people, suing the federal government, the DOJ, the IRS, the Treasury Department, the EPA, suing campaigns, fighting over voting rights laws and so forth.
And one thing I don’t think our audience understands and you need to understand, we have too many lawyers who are risk averse, too many lawyers who will whine and complain. I have spent 40 years sitting down with people who put on legal brass knuckles and take these bastards on in court. I’m on the — at the appellate and Supreme Court level, that’s where my focus has been my entire career.
So what they need to do now in my view is to go up the appellate chain in New York, we need to stop whining about how long that’s going to take, seek any emergency, immediate appeal that you possibly can. That’s one — one lane.
And the other lane is to try like hell to get to the Supreme Court.
People say, well, they’re not going to take it? You know what? If George Patton was said, I don’t think I can get to the Battle of the Bulge in time, we would have lost World War II. I am sick and tired of these legal defeatists.
We need to stop whining, stop complaining, we know what the hell we’re up against. It’s not news. It’s a fact.
We got to fight these people with our smarts. We have to take some risks. We need to push the edge of the envelope. I don’t mean in a way that that kooks do it, we need to look at Bush versus Gore. Why did the Supreme Court take that case from the Florida Supreme Court?

Trump’s approval rating has gone up following his sham guilty verdict in New York, according to a new poll.
It just goes to show that the vast majority of Americans know what the trial was all about and disapprove of the Democrats’ fascist tactics.
More backfire is coming, but this is a good start.
Townhall reports:
Support for Trump Skyrockets In New Poll Following Conviction
If the Democratic Party thought convicting former President Donald Trump was going to make his millions of supporters abandon him, they better think twice.
In fact, he got a six-point jump in approval after being found guilty of 34 counts for falsifying business records.
According to a poll conducted by the Daily Mail and J.L. Partners, 22 percent of voters now view Trump more favorably, while only 16 percent view him more negatively.
The poll was taken just hours after 12 jurors convicted Trump in an unprecedented and politically-motivated move.
The poll also found a four-point net positive impact for Trump among independent voters— who can ultimately decide the outcome of the November election.
The guy who managed the poll commented:
“Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,” he said. “But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant.”
“It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a ‘fighter’ against what they see as injustice,” Johnson continued.
This is fantastic.

Perhaps Republicans should investigate and prosecute Maxine Waters for inciting violence when she urged people to harass Trump officials in public places. Or maybe they should look into all of the campaign funds she has funneled to her daughter over the years.

Judge Jeanine Pirro of FOX News reacted to the Trump verdict today by saying that America has gone over a cliff.
As a judge herself, Jeanine lamented what this decision has done to the public image of our legal system, but as a political matter she was clearly outraged.
She spoke for millions of Americans.
From FOX News:
America has gone ‘over a cliff’ with Trump’s conviction, Judge Jeanine says: ‘All smoke and mirrors’
Fox News host Jeanine Pirro said Thursday that America has “gone over a cliff” after former President Trump was found guilty on all counts, making him the first former President of the United States to be convicted of a crime.
“I want to believe that Americans believe in justice, and I think that in their gut, they realized that there is something that is very wrong here. We have gone over a cliff in America,” Pirro said on-air, moments after the jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records on all counts, concluding his historic and unprecedented criminal trial. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.
“This verdict is a verdict of someone who was forced to fight a 1,000-pound gorilla with both hands tied behind his back. This was a defendant for whom crimes were created, against whom a judge…was handpicked for this defendant, who denied him the ability to fight the way he needed to fight, who brought in crimes that we have never heard of in New York before, where they had dead misdemeanors that they resurrected into felonies based upon non-unanimous verdicts of crimes that are federal over which no state court or no state judge or prosecutor has jurisdiction,” Pirro said.
“And in the end, with all this smoke and mirrors, at 34 counts, and a hooker, and a guy, [who] according to a federal judge is a serial perjurer, we have convicted a former President of the United States of America,” she continued.

Hollywood Celebrities Rejoice over Trump Verdict: ‘Tears of Joy,’ ‘F**k Trump and F**k Those Who Support Him’
It was Christmas in May for Hollywood celebrities after a jury in deep blue New York City voted to convict former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in his business records case.
While an appeal is a certainty — “This is far from over,” Trump said following the verdict — the stars nevertheless rushed to celebrate the case, which was brought by Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D), who was present in the courtroom on Thursday.
“Tears of joy,” an emotional Kathy Griffin wrote.
“God Bless New York City!!!” an ecstatic Ellen Barkin tweeted.
“We are all cheering for justice and that no one is above the law!” John Leguizamo declared.

The Federalist CEO Calls For Republicans to Draw Up Lists of Democrats to ‘Put in Prison’ After Trump Verdict
Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of the the right-wing website The Federalist, called on Republicans to draw up lists of Democrats to “put in prison” in a social media post reacting to Donald Trump’s conviction on Thursday evening.
“In 2016, the presidential race was decided based on candidates releasing lists of potential Supreme Court nominees,” wrote Davis. “In 2024, I want to see lists of which Democrat officials are going to be put in prison.”
“This is what happens when you cross the Rubicon,” he added.
“If you are a state AG/prosecutor with original criminal jurisdiction, you had better be drafting up charges, indictments, and warrants for every Democrat official involved in this insane, treasonous attack on our entire constitutional republic,” he mused in another post.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley has been observing the Trump trial as a legal expert for FOX News.
Today, after the guilty verdict came down, Turley reacted by calling it ‘bizarre’ and noting that it is still not even clear what Trump was specifically found guilty of.
He also suggested that the case will be overturned on appeal.
From Townhall:
Jonathan Turley Has a Lot to Say About the Trump Verdict
Legal expert Jonathan Turley reacted with strong words to the guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump, who was convicted on all 34 counts at his New York hush money trial after only two days of jury deliberations spanning over nine hours.
“I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others,” Turley tweeted, saying that he believes that the case will be reversed “eventually” either at the state or federal level. “However,” the George Washington University Law School professor added, “this was the worst expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more for the New York legal system than the former president. I had hoped that the jurors might redeem the integrity of a system that has been used for political purposes.”…
Turley, who was there at the time of the verdict’s reading, called it “one of the most bizarre moments” he ever experienced in the courtroom. Judge Juan Merchan had just said the jury had not yet reached a decision and that they’d be dismissed for the day.

A new poll from Roanoke College finds Donald Trump tied with Joe Biden in Virginia.
This is the real reason that Democrats and the media are so desperate to put Trump in jail. He is outperforming recent Republican candidates in places where Democrats believe they have locked the population into voting blue forever.
The truth is that although Virginia has not voted Republican in a presidential race since 2004, prior to that, the state voted red in every presidential election going back to 1968.
Trump could definitely flip Virginia back to red in November.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Donald Trump may have a shot at winning Virginia
The last time the Commonwealth of Virginia supported a Republican presidential candidate was in 2004, when then-President George W. Bush capped off 10 consecutive wins for the GOP in the Old Dominion, but former President Donald Trump has a shot at reversing that trend this November.
Once considered a perennial swing state, Virginia has tilted ever so slightly toward the Democratic Party in recent elections. Former President Barack Obama won the state in 2008 and in 2012, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton carried the state in her losing campaign in 2016, and President Joe Biden won the state in 2020 by a 10-point margin. In statewide elections, Republicans have fared slightly better, winning races for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general in 2009 and 2021, while Democrats won the same positions in 2013 and 2017. Democrats have held both Senate seats since 2006…
It is amid this backdrop that a new poll from Roanoke College shows the presidential election in the state tied. Biden and Trump both registered 42% support in the new poll, while the president opens up a slim 2-point advantage when third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein are included.
For a state that has hardly been competitive for Republicans in recent cycles, the poll results are nothing short of astounding. If Biden fails to carry Virginia in November, his path to 270 electoral votes and a second term in the White House is practically nonexistent, given his polling in other swing states.
See the full poll results here.
According to Decision Desk, Trump has a better chance of winning Virginia than Biden has of winning Florida

CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten examined Trump’s approval numbers with regard to the sham NYC trial and found that the Democrat circus is not affecting Trump with the public at all.
Democrats were hoping that the trial would make Trump look toxic to the public. They have failed.
The problem for Democrats and the media is that everyone knows this trial is purely political and all about the 2024 election.
Breitbart News reports:
CNN’s Enten: ‘No Change’ In Public Opinion About Trump During New York Trial, People ‘Don’t Really Care’
CNN poll analyst Harry Enten said Wednesday on “News Central” that polling shows most voters don’t care about the New York business records case against former President Donald Trump.
Enten said, “It feels like only yesterday to me, John, that it began, but apparently, it is 44 days. You crack the numbers, you’ve run the numbers. All right, let’s take a look here…
He added, “Simply put, they have not. Pre-opening statements think Trump did something illegal, 46%. After the direct examination of Michael Cohen by the prosecution, look at where we are now, 46%. The percentage of Americans who think that the charges are very serious, in fact, dropped from 40% to a little bit more than and 35% during the course of this trial. So, yes, perhaps things might have changed with those 12 jurors, but when it comes to the larger American public, there has been no change.”

MSNBC host challenges Biden aide on bizarre De Niro press conference: ‘Doesn’t feel right to me at all’
MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski challenged the Biden campaign on its decision to hold a chaotic press conference outside Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan with actor Robert De Niro, as the defense and prosecution gave their closing arguments.
“I guess I have to ask you why you decided to speak there and to have the campaign show up at the courthouse. I don’t know. It doesn’t feel right to me at all,” Brzezinski told Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler.
Tyler said the campaign, De Niro and two former police officers, who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, decided to speak outside the courtroom on Tuesday because the media had been “incessantly posted up there for weeks.” He said Trump needed to answer for the “continued threat” he poses to democracy, as well as his “embrace of political violence.”
“So that’s what Robert De Niro and officers [Michael] Fanone and [Harry] Dunn were speaking to down in Manhattan yesterday. They were speaking to the fact that Donald Trump still regularly embraces political violence, is calling for a bloodbath if he loses this election, and is pledging to rule as a dictator on day one,” Tyler continued.
Watch the segment below:
"This campaign is not speaking about the substance of the trial in any way shape or form. What we're talking about is the unique threat that Donald Trump poses to our democracy."

More than 50 percent of Democrats want to replace Joe Biden with someone else, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.
This is extremely unlikely to happen at this late stage in the election. The Democrats are already working out their plan to nominate Biden and Harris ahead of the party’s convention in August.
This is just another reminder that there is widespread disapproval for Biden, even among members of his own party.
Newsmax has details:
Rasmussen Poll: Majority of Dems Want Biden Replaced
A majority of Democrats say they approve of replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party candidate ahead of November’s election, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday.
While 49% of likely voters overall said they would approve of Democrats dumping Biden, 54% of Democratic voters said they want Biden out, with 25% saying they “strongly approve” of the move, according to the results. Notably, Republicans surveyed are bringing down the average; just 45% of GOP voters surveyed want Biden replaced. Meanwhile, 50% of “other” voters, what Rasmussen labels unaffiliated, said they want to see Biden replaced.
The number of Democrats in favor of replacing Biden has jumped 6 points since the last survey in February, according to Rasmussen.
Young voters are the biggest age group that want Biden dumped, with 69% aged 18-39 saying they want Biden replaced.
However, just 44% of likely voters overall think it will actually happen, including 38% of Democrats. Again, notably, 52% of Republicans surveyed say it’s somewhat or very likely that Democrats will pull the plug on Biden, according to the survey.
This is embarrassing for Biden and his party.

The city of Denver, Colorado has created a guide for other cities, to teach them how to become a sanctuary for illegal border crossers.
Earlier this spring, Denver’s Democrat mayor actually cut funding for the police and fire departments in order to keep the gravy train running for illegals. Prior to that, the city had cut other services for taxpayers.
Does this new guide mean that red state governors should start sending more of these folks to Denver?
Breitbart News reported:
Denver Offers How-To Guide on Turning Cities into Taxpayer-Funded Immigrant Sanctuaries
The Democrat-led city of Denver, Colorado, is offering a how-to guide to help other cities turn into immigrant sanctuaries at the expense of taxpayers.
The guide is titled “Newcomers Playbook: A Guide to Welcoming Newcomers into Your City,” and its authors say they are “thrilled” to offer their guide on how to plan and implement a sanctuary city.
The guide exclaims:
We are thrilled that you are interested in creating a welcoming environment for migrants in your city. As part of Denver’s welcoming approach, we use the term “newcomers” to refer to migrants, recognizing that they are new to our city and embracing a more inclusive language. This playbook is a guide divided into two sections, offering recommendations and strategies for successfully integrating newcomers into your city.
The guide credits the “Office of Mayor Mike Johnston” and several of his migrant agencies.
Because of the cuts to police over the illegals, Denver is now planning to use drones as first responders instead of live police in some cases. You couldn’t make this up.

Former George W. Bush advisor Karl Rove is no friend of Trump, yet even he is slamming the Joe Biden campaign over the decision to let unhinged TDS suffering actor Robert De Niro speak for them today.
De Niro ended up lashing out at critics in the crowd and looked like a crazy person.
Transcript via FOX News:
KARL ROVE: Stupid mistake by the Biden campaign. … While all the cameras were there, they wanted to get their moment in the sun. And it was a big mistake. It politicizes the trial. Better to have waited. And then what was said, with all due respect to Mr. De Niro, who’s a wonderful, wonderful actor… “Donald Trump wants to destroy New York, destroy America, and destroy the world. And if you reelect him, he’s never going to leave office. He’s going to make himself a tyrant for life.”
Are those the kind of credible statements that are going to cause people who don’t like Biden and don’t like Trump, but are trying to figure out who to vote for, are they going to cause people to say, ‘well, geez, you now told me you wanted to destroy our country.’ Of course he did. The people who believe that are already in the Biden camp. That’s not who they should be trying to reach out to. He came close in a moment of talking about January 6th and talking about the two officers, but that might have had an impact.
But this was so over-the-top as to simply be useless. And what a stupid mistake on the part of the Biden campaign. More reason why Democratic leaders are probably going to be concerned that he’s the likely nominee of their party.

CNN reporter warns potential Trump acquittal in New York trial is ‘worst-case scenario for Democrats’
A jury acquitting former President Trump in his criminal trial this week in New York would be the “worst-case scenario” for Democrats, a CNN reporter warned on Sunday.
“I think that it’s very likely this is the only trial that we are going to get before Election Day. And this case is not a slam dunk, which means that Donald Trump may very well not be convicted. Acquitted is the worst-case scenario for Democrats,” CNN political correspondent Sara Murray said.
The jury will hear closing arguments on Tuesday in the criminal trial where Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree…
“Donald Trump gets to go out there and say, ‘Joe Biden’s prosecutors,’ which, again, not true, ‘came after me, his Department of Justice came after me, and they still didn’t convict me. I’m still innocent,'” Murray continued. “I also think you could end up somewhere in this sort of muddy middle where you end up with a hung jury, a jury that cannot reach a verdict. And then this truly does just get kicked to the voters to decide.”

Joe Biden must be getting hard up for cash. He is turning to his old pals Bill and Hillary Clinton to help him raise funds with an event in Virginia.
If there’s one thing the Clintons are good at, it’s fleecing the public for money.
This is just a reminder that Biden can’t do this on his own. Last month, he did a fundraiser with Bill Clinton and Obama which was hosted by left wing hack Stephen Colbert. Biden needs all this help.
Axios reported:
Scoop: Bill and Hillary Clinton to headline Virginia fundraiser for Biden
President Biden and former President Clinton will team up for a mega fundraiser inside the Beltway in late June, hosted by former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The event will be the third iteration of a successful fundraising formula that includes an evening with two (or three) Democratic presidents for the price of one.
– Scheduled for June 18, it follows the “three president” extravaganza in New York in April and a planned event with Biden, Clinton and former President Obama in mid-June in Los Angeles, hosted by George Clooney. The New York event brought in $26 million for Biden’s re-election effort.
– In addition to Biden and Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will also attend, according to people familiar with the matter.
– McAuliffe, a former DNC chairman and longtime confidant of both presidents, will host the fundraiser at his home in McLean, Virginia.
Organizers are planning a two-tiered event, with a reception, followed by a more exclusive — and expensive — dinner to hoover up big-dollar contributions in the D.C. area.

Memorial Day weekend is typically big business at the box office but it’s a bust in 2024.
Box office sales this weekend were the worst in decades, a huge blow to the film industry which has been struggling for a few years now.
Millions of people have simply walked away from new movies over Hollywood’s embrace of wokeness and movies that seek to preach rather than entertain.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Memorial Day box office showing softest since the 1990s
Hollywood’s hopes for a hot start to the summer at the box office fizzled out Monday, with Memorial Day long weekend movie ticket sales poised to be the softest in almost three decades.
Warner Bros.’s Furiosa beat out Sony’s Columbia Pictures and Alcon Entertainment’s The Garfield Movie, according to Comscore data. But the Mad Max prequel’s $32 million domestic opening weekend was the Memorial Day weekend’s worst No. 1 performance since 1995’s Casper, with $22.5 million, not adjusted for inflation and excluding 2020, when theaters were closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In comparison, Disney‘s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid opened last year with $118 million over the holiday, and Paramount Picture’s Top Gun: Maverick launched with $160 million 12 months before that. Even Furiosa’s predecessor, Mad Max: Fury Road, opened with $45 million in 2015.
The disappointing results have been partly attributed to last year’s strikes, which stopped production for months and delayed the likes of Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine from May to late July. Additionally, Disney’s Lion King origin story, Mufasa, won’t come out in cinemas until December, and Paramount’s eighth Mission: Impossible won’t come out until next year. That meant there was was no comic book film to kickoff the summer as has become tradition, as well as no momentum heading into the season.
John Nolte of Breitbart News says the problem is the movies themselves:
Furiosa is shaping up to be a financial catastrophe. It cost $168 million to produce, so let’s call it an even $200 million with promotion costs (which might be generous). That puts break-even at around $400 million. The global take this weekend is a dreadful $59 million.
So what went wrong?
The answer is what’s been going wrong with Hollywood for the last five years… It’s not the pandemic. It’s not the strike. It’s not a lack of product. The problem is the product—the product sucks ass.
Hollywood is going to continue to struggle until they learn this lesson.
People go to the movies to be entertained, not for progressive political lectures.

Edward Durr, the working class Republican truck driver from New Jersey who shocked the country by winning a state senate seat race in 2021, is now running for governor in the state.
Durr is a perfect example of what the country needs more of – average working people running for political office.
Considering how close the last race for governor was in New Jersey, a Republican candidate definitely has a shot.
FOX News reports:
Former NJ state Sen ‘Ed the Trucker’ launches bid for governor and predicts a Trump upset
Former New Jersey state Sen. Edward Durr, who in 2021 made national headlines for unseating longtime state Senate President Stephen Sweeney in an otherwise quixotic bid, told Fox News Digital he believes the Garden State may see more than one political earthquake this year.
Durr, who faces 2021 GOP gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli and state Sen. Jon Bramnick in the Republican primary, will potentially have a rematch with Sweeney as he makes a run for the governorship.
The Gloucester County Republican said his gubernatorial campaign is not too unlike his first bid against Sweeney, remarking 2024 is also a “campaign of grassroots.”
“It is of the people, by the people and for the people,” he said. “I’m not your prototypical candidate, so to speak. I’m not a lawyer, not a doctor, not a rich businessman of sorts. You know, I’m just a regular, working-class guy.”…
“They have always addressed their special interests while ignoring the common man and woman just trying to make ends meet, trying to get by. And somebody needs to speak up for us,” Durr added.
Here’s a local video report:

Pennsylvania is an extremely important swing state. It went for Trump in 2016 and for Biden in 2020. Democrats see it as a must-win state for Biden in 2024, but some recent polls are starting to make them sweat.
If old ‘Scranton Joe’ can’t pull off a win there in November, Democrats think the whole ‘blue wall’ will fall apart and for once, they’re probably right.
It won’t be surprising to see Dems increase ad spending there in the coming months.
The Hill reports:
Pennsylvania poses problems for ‘Scranton Joe’
President Biden goes by “Scranton Joe,” he references Pennsylvania often in speeches and his campaigns have spent millions of dollars there in political ads.
In 2020, the president set up his campaign headquarters in Philadelphia — before the COVID-19 pandemic — and he visited the state more than any other battleground that cycle…
But now, some Democrats say it’s a state that could cause Biden’s blue wall to rupture.
They point to a pair of recent polls that show former President Trump with a narrow lead — in what amounts to a near tie.
But what’s concerning to them isn’t the top-line numbers, but the erosion happening within the Democratic base.
A New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Inquirer poll out earlier this month showed Biden’s support among young voters in the state has slipped since 2020 from 62 percent to 47 percent. And his backing from Black and Hispanic voters has also waned from 71 percent to 57 percent.
A recent poll from the Cook Political Report puts Trump ahead of Biden in Pennsylvania by three points.

Ana Navarro of ‘The View’ insulted Latino Trump supporters during a recent appearance on CNN with the equally moronic Jim Acosta.
After Acosta notes that Trump is doing well in polls with Latino voters, he asks Navarro to explain it and she then accuses these voters of trying to appear more American by supporting Trump and says they have a ‘very stupid attitude.’
This is what Trump Derangement Syndrome does to a person. In her mind, she is just smarter than people who support Trump. She cannot possibly be wrong, so it must be everyone else who has a problem.
The New York Post reported:
‘The View’ host Ana Navarro slams Latino Trump supporters’ ‘very stupid attitude’
Ana Navarro was roasted as “truly ignorant” and “out of touch” after she lambasted Latino Trump supporters for what she deemed their “very stupid attitude” toward immigration.
“There are some Latino immigrants who forget they came here as immigrants and who want to shut the door behind them, and who think being anti-immigrant somehow is going to make them pass as more American, pass as whatever,” Navarro, a former GOP-er and a star of “The View,” said Friday evening during a spot on CNN. “And that’s a very stupid attitude to have.”
Navarro was lambasted for her take.
“The belittling attacks from individuals such as Ana Navarro … exemplify precisely why Hispanics are flocking to the Republican Party. Democrats attempt to sow division, but we see through their ignorance,” former Texas GOP Rep. Mayra Flores told The Post. “She fails to comprehend the struggle, as she does not live paycheck to paycheck. Hispanics seek prosperity and the means to provide for their families. The Biden administration is costing us an average of $1,000 a month. While she can afford the policies of the Biden administration, we cannot.”

Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank recently slammed the Biden administration over their latest round of ‘forgiveness’ of student loan debt, calling it unfair and un-American.
O’Leary points out that it’s a slap in the face to people who didn’t go to college as well as people who paid off their student loans.
He is correct on both counts.
FOX News reports:
Kevin O’Leary torches Biden student loan handout as ‘unfair’ and ‘un-American’: ‘I really really hate this’
“Shark Tank” host and business leader Kevin O’Leary railed against the Biden administration’s latest round of student debt handouts after the White House announced it would relieve debt for more than 160,000 borrowers.
“I hate this, I really, really hate this,” O’Leary said Wednesday on “The Story.”
“This is a very difficult pill to swallow for people that understand when you borrow money you have to pay it back,” he added. “Particularly, for those who do not understand why a selected group of individuals in history get a free ride. This is so un-American, it is so unfair, it is so inconsistent with the values we made people for over 100 years understand.”…
“I am a taxpayer, I don’t like this,” O’Leary said. “I don’t think it is fair. It is un-American in a sense that there are many people who have already paid back their student loans and cohorts in the past, those in the future that still may not get this. People that never got to go to college because they figured they could not afford it, it is so unfair.”
See the video below:
Kevin O'Leary: This student loan debt forgiveness is unfair and unamerican. This is free money from a helicopter when we're trying to tame inflation. We teach everybody in America you've gotta pay back your debts. But not you 5 million, you're off the hook. I hate this. pic.twitter.com/xTFRhP9Fli

Trump’s speech and rally in the Bronx truly feels like a turning point for the country. He brought a message of unity that is craved by millions of people across America.
Joe Biden was sold by Democrats and the media as a unifying figure, yet he has done nothing but divide and stoke resentment.
Trump told the crowd in the Bronx that color doesn’t matter because we are all Americans.
Larry Kudlow of the FOX Business Network commented:
Donald Trump’s Bronx speech was powerful
Donald Trump’s powerful speech last night in the Bronx was a message to Americans of all colors and that’s the subject of the riff. Donald Trump spoke to a crowd of ten or twenty thousand people last night at Crotona Park in the South Bronx.
Here’s the key point: they were primarily People of Color. A most unusual Republican rally, in a most unusual place, with a most unusual crowd for a Republican rally in a most unusual place. Take a listen to what Donald Trump said about this unusual story:
DONALD TRUMP: “It doesn’t matter whether you’re Black, or Brown, or White or whatever the hell color you are, it doesn’t matter. We are all Americans and we’re going to pull together as Americans.”
Right there, that is the sociology about that crowd and it is a shot across the bow of Joe Biden and the Democratic Party nationwide. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is one of the very many Democrats who don’t understand what’s going on in Trump world. She said Donald Trump is inviting “all his clowns to a place like the Bronx.” Hochul’s one of many Democrats who don’t understand the Trump coalition of working folks of all colors that is busting up the traditional Democratic Party.
This was the moment. Watch:

Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana recently wrote an opinion column that was critical of trans athletes and USA Today-owned newspapers deleted the piece without even notifying Kennedy.
This is reminiscent of the time in 2020 when Republican Senator Tom Cotton wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that was censored because it sent the paper’s staffers into fits of rage. Cotton had suggested using the military to control the riots in the ‘summer of love.’
Isn’t it fascinating that this censorship always seems to go in only one direction?
FOX News reported:
USA Today newspapers quietly delete GOP senator’s op-ed on trans athletes without telling him
Several Louisiana newspapers that are part of Gannett-owned USA Today’s network quietly deleted a published op-ed on transgender athletes from Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., without notifying him.
Communications reviewed by Fox News Digital showed the Republican was told his op-ed criticizing biological men playing women’s sports contained “inflammatory” speech that didn’t meet company standards.
Gannett Opinion Editor and Vice President of Standards and Ethics Michael McCarter stood by the decision to remove Kennedy’s piece.
“The opinion teams across the USA TODAY Network are focused on delivering local, timely, relevant, and diverse opinion pieces. We recognize the importance of sharing varying perspectives and the vital role we play convening conversations. Sen. John Kennedy’s submitted opinion column did not meet our ethical guidelines, which state we will treat people with respect. After further review, our editorial team removed the column from our website. Sen. Kennedy has been given the opportunity to revise his language – not his viewpoint – to adhere with our standards,” McCarter told Fox News Digital.
Kennedy commented:
“They think they are the speech police. Drunk on certainty and virtue, they think they are our moral teacher. This attitude is why so many Americans have lost confidence in the media. The media is not going to win that trust back until they return to neutrality instead of advocacy,” Kennedy said.

A black woman from Chicago named P-Rae Easely appeared on FOX News today and urged Donald Trump to hold a rally there, suggesting it would look a lot like the Bronx rally and that people in the city would come out to give him a hero’s welcome.
Anyone who has been following the news knows that many black residents of Chicago are outraged by the city’s handling of illegal immigrants, who have largely been imposed on black neighborhoods.
This woman is absolutely right. Trump should go into the heart of the Windy City and speak directly to the people.
Here’s a partial transcript:
Kayleigh McEnany: You said Trump will be greeted like a king in Chicago. Tell me about the reception for Trump should he come.
P-Rae Easely: Absolutely, we are going to show him lots of hospitality. He is the only person who has ever tried to save us from this liberal failure and chaos that’s impacting every facet of our lives and we’re gonna give him a hero’s welcome and we cannot wait until he gets here. Everybody is saying, when Trump comes we’re going to go outside to make sure that he knows that we support him.
McEnany goes on to play a clip of Biden’s hateful, divisive speech at Morehouse College last week and compares it to Trump’s unifying message in the Bronx and Easely responds by suggesting that Joe Biden is the last living Dixiecrat and that his message has always been one of division. She even calls him Jim Crow Joe.
Easely then talks about the anger in the city about the special treatment for illegal immigrants as a driving force of support for Trump.

Heather Idoni, a 59 year-old grandmother and mother of 15, has just been sentenced to two years in prison for protesting at an abortion clinic.
Meanwhile, Marilyn Mosby, the corrupt former state’s attorney from Baltimore who was found guilty of perjury and mortgage fraud, is walking free with no jail time.
Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act.
According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against pro-life individuals but only used three times against pro-abortion protesters.
Idoni was also convicted for praying and singing hymns in the hallway of a clinic in Tennessee, and she currently awaits trial for two additional FACE violations in Michigan.
Idoni recently spoke with LifeSiteNews and shared the abuses she alleges she has faced while incarcerated.
Heather Idoni, a defendant in the Washington, D.C., FACE (Freedom to Access Clinic Entrances) Act trials, told LifeSiteNews that she has been subjected to 22 days of solitary confinement. In an exclusive interview, she said that she received this punishment for sharing food with fellow prisoners. Idoni alleged that she was allowed to walk outside her cell only for two hours in the middle of the night each day and that the lights of her cell were continually kept on. Idoni has been in prison since she was convicted last autumn.
Earlier this month, the Pro-Life activist Heather Idoni suffered a stroke after her 22 days of solitary confinement in prison for sharing food with fellow prisoners.
Breitbart News reports:
Pro-Life Grandmother Sentenced to 24 Months in Prison for 2020 D.C. Abortion Clinic Protest
An eighth pro-life activist was sentenced on Wednesday under the Freedom of Access the Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “conspiracy against rights” for an abortion clinic protest in Washington, DC, in October 2020.
Heather Idoni, 59, was sentenced to 24 months in prison, with credit for the nine months she has already served since being found guilty in August 2023, the Department of Justice announced.
Seven other pro-life activists were sentenced to years in federal prison last week for protesting at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in Washington, DC, an abortion clinic infamous for late-term abortions. Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) activist Lauren Handy, 30, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison with credit for the nine months she has already spent in jail. John Hinshaw, 69, was sentenced to 21 months in prison, and William Goodman, 54, was sentenced to 27 months in prison, both with credit for time served, according to the DOJ…

Dasha Burns of NBC News was at the Trump rally in the Bronx and spoke to black and Latino voters about why they were there and why they supported Trump.
She appeared on one of the network’s morning shows today to report her findings and she seemed surprised that the support for Trump that she witnessed at the event was completely genuine.
She noted that many of the people in attendance were immigrants who are angry about the open border and New York City’s giveaways to illegals.
FOX News reports:
Black, Latino Trump supporters at Bronx rally shut down reporter asking about his ‘racist’ rhetoric
NBC News reporter Dasha Burns said that several Black and Latino Trump supporters shut her down when she attempted to confront them on the former president’s “racist” rhetoric on Thursday.
Burns appeared on MSNBC on Friday to talk about her coverage of Trump’s massive rally the previous day in deep-blue Bronx, New York. The reporter recalled that the Black and Latino Trump supporters she spoke to on the scene had completely bought into Trump’s anti-illegal immigration and economic policies, even if he had said “racist” and “bigoted” things in the past.
“They are just so focused on what their lives are like right now, what they can feel tangibly, that when I push back with those comments, they shut that down,” Burns told MSNBC host Ana Cabrera, commenting that these voters don’t care about Trump’s rhetoric compared to his policies…
“Well, this might sound a little counterintuitive, but I did talk to folks in that crowd who themselves were immigrants,” she said. “A lot of people that I talked to were born and raised in the Bronx. For some of them, this was their first ever Trump event. And when you talk to immigrants that are going to these Trump rallies, they agree with his message on immigration.”

Earlier this year, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson tried to sever the city’s contract with ShotSpotter, a system that lets authorities know where a gunshot has occurred. People on the left convinced Johnson that the system was somehow racist.
Now the city council in Chicago has defied the mayor and even members of his own party are saying that they want the system back in place.
Johnson was asked about this by the media and seemed stunned.
WTTW News reports:
City Council Votes 34-14 to Endorse Effort to Overturn Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Decision to Scrap ShotSpotter
The Chicago City Council voted 34-14 on Wednesday to endorse an effort to overturn Mayor Brandon Johnson’s decision to scrap the city’s use of ShotSpotter after an intense debate over the gunshot detection system.
The vote represented a significant rebuke of Johnson and the central promise of his campaign for mayor, which vowed to address the root causes of crime and violence rather than focusing on law enforcement.
The order calls for a City Council vote before ShotSpotter is removed from any Chicago ward and requires the Johnson administration to provide alderpeople with a host of data generated by the ShotSpotter system before the city’s contract with SoundThinking expires on Nov. 22.
Johnson could veto the order, which he has said is unlawful. However, two-thirds of the City Council voted in favor of it, raising the possibility that the City Council could override a mayoral veto, which has never happened in Chicago history.
The order approved by the City Council said Johnson “usurped the will of the City Council and their ability to represent constituents” by canceling the city’s contract with SoundThinking, which operates the ShotSpotter gunshot detection system.
Watch this exchange between Johnson and the press:

Bill Melugin of FOX News has been reporting from the border for months now. This week, he had an exchange with an illegal immigrant from Turkey that was truly shocking.
The man explains how easy it was for him to cross the border and then goes on to say that Americans are right to be concerned about this problem.
He points out that any crazy and potentially dangerous person could easily cross into the United States.
The illegal seems more concerned about the lack of security at the border than many of our elected officials.
RedState has the transcript:
MELUGIN: Did you have to pay a cartel?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes
MELUGIN: How much?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: $10,000
MELUGIN: $10,000?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes…In fact, the American people is right, completely true. Who comes into this country? They don’t know. Okay, I’m good, but how if they’re not good? How if they’re killers, psychopath, else? No guarantee of that. Like, no security, no security check, no background check
MELUGIN: No security, no background, you’re worried about who’s crossing the border?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes, yes. Of course, because (unintelligible) people are not like normal.
Watch the video below:
NEW: A Turkish man who crossed into Jacumba, CA illegally w/ a group of other Turkish men told me he paid $10k to a cartel, & expressed shock at how easy it was to cross the U.S. border with no resistance, telling me Americans should be “worried” about security & who is crossing. pic.twitter.com/Qb1a9BiDuV

Bonchie of RedState comments:
Think about how insane that exchange is for a moment. A guy from Turkey paid $10,000 to be trafficked by a cartel across the U.S. Southern border, and even he was like, “Yeah, you guys might oughta do something about this.” He says there was no security check or background check. Instead, the man was essentially waved through, likely handed some form of a notice to appear that will never be honored. That’s Joe Biden’s immigration policies in effect.
It’s amazing that it takes an illegal who just crossed the border to raise this alarm.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tried once again to pass his so-called border bill this week and it went down in flames with even less support than the last time it was introduced.
This is the bill that does nothing to secure the border, while placing a priority on the processing of illegal border crossers.
Leave it to Democrats to push a border bill that doesn’t actually address the real problem.
FOX News reports:
Schumer-backed border bill fails a second time with even less Dem support
The Senate failed to advance a border bill backed by some Democrats and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday, seeing the measure garner less support than it did in February when it was first considered.
By a vote of 43-50, senators chose not to advance the bill, which was negotiated in a bipartisan nature by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and James Lankford, R-Okla.
Both Lankford and Sinema sided against their own legislation, a departure from their previous votes.
In a speech ahead of the vote, Sinema denounced political theater on both sides of the aisle, hitting Republicans for turning their back on the bill and Democrats for choosing to bring it up again without working to gain support.
“Today, the Senate is proving what many Americans already think about Congress: that Senators come here for political games, not to deliver results,” Sinema said in a statement.
Everyone knows what’s really going on here.
Let me make a few things clear:
The border bill opens the border and legalizes the illegal immigrants.

In recent weeks, CNN has shifted their Trump obsession to the sham Trump trial in New York. They even had hosts do an embarrassing ‘dramatic reading’ of trial transcripts that got panned on social media.
The bad news for the far left network is that it is not doing anything to help their already sagging ratings. In fact, their primetime viewership is going down.
Most Americans are far more concerned about the economy, inflation and the invasion of the southern border, but CNN doesn’t care. They need their Trump-hating fix every single day.

CNN’s primetime lineup hits dismal viewership low despite New York v. Trump trial
CNN’s long-struggling primetime lineup hit a significant viewership low in a critical category last week despite the landmark New York v. Trump trial dominating the news cycle.
CNN’s primetime lineup of “Anderson Cooper 360,” “The Source with Kaitlan Collins,” and “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip” managed only 83,000 nightly viewers in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 from May 13-19. The dismal total tied the network’s 2023 Thanksgiving week for its smallest audience in the critical category since 1991.
By comparison, Fox News programs “Jesse Watters Primetime,” “Hannity,” and “Gutfeld!” averaged 186,000 demo viewers to crush CNN’s audience by over 100,000 people between the ages 25-54.
CNN’s primetime lineup had a smaller audience among the demo than 23 different basic cable options, including FXX, MTV, Hallmark Channel, Discovery, A&E, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, TLC, HGTV, Food Network. ESPN2, and Bravo, in addition to Fox News and MSNBC.
CNN’s primetime lineup wasn’t particularly successful among total viewers, either, averaging only 484,000 total viewers compared to two million for Fox News.
How could CNN possibly be losing viewers with compelling news coverage like this?

Democrats have all but owned the Granite State’s four Electoral College votes, winning seven of the past eight presidential contests – including Joe Biden’s eight-point victory over President Donald Trump in 2020.
But the latest NHJournal/Praecones Analytica poll finds Biden tied with Trump in New Hampshire, putting him at risk of becoming the first Democrat to lose the state since Al Gore in 2000.
The survey of 862 registered voters taken the week of May 15-20 found Granite Staters evenly split between Biden and Trump at 36 percent, with 14 percent backing independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and another 12 percent choosing none of these.
Those numbers may explain why Biden is making his second Granite State stop in two months, an unusual travel pattern for a Democratic president in a competitive national election. For Biden, who rarely travels far from D.C. or his Delaware beach house, it’s particularly notable.
Listen to these New Hampshire voters and it all makes sense.

As the Gateway Pundit has previously reported, the ‘Greater Idaho’ movement is an effort by people in the state of Oregon to secede and become part of Idaho.
The whole thing is being driven by people in Oregon who are tired of living under policies driven by the far left in cities like Portland.
Support for the idea has grown over the last two years and another county in Oregon has just approved the measure.
The New York Post reports:
13th conservative Oregon county approves measure to secede and join ‘Greater Idaho’
Another right-leaning county in eastern Oregon has voted to secede from the Democrat-run state and join neighboring Idaho, according to reports.
Crook County residents passed the measure by a 53% majority Tuesday, making it the 13th county in the state to sign onto the movement known as “Greater Idaho,” NewsNation reported.
“The voters of eastern Oregon have spoken loudly and clearly about their desire to see border talks move forward,” said the Greater Idaho movement’s executive director Matt McCaw.
“With this latest result in Crook County, there’s no excuse left for the Legislature and Governor to continue to ignore the people’s wishes.”
Greater Idaho would see more than half of Oregon’s territory leave the Beaver State and join Republican-run Idaho to the east…
Greater Idaho began in earnest in 2020 and quickly began picking up traction, with eleven of the state’s 36 counties voting to endorse the idea by 2022.
Maybe some other states should try this.

The former Obama speech writers, often referred to as the Obama bros, run a podcast called Pod Save America.
During a recent episode, they revealed that they’re horrified by the prospect of Trump being reelected because he might get to appoint two more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
They correctly point out that if that happens, the court will have a conservative majority for decades.
They also suggest that Democrats should run on this issue.
From Mediaite:
Ex-Obama Official Warns: A Trump Win in 2024 Will Mean FIVE Trump Justices on Supreme Court
A former Barack Obama advisor is warning that a second Donald Trump term in the White House will inevitably lead to a “MAGA court majority” for decades to come.
Pod Save America co-host Dan Pfeiffer raised alarms about another four years of Trump in office and the potential impact on the Supreme Court. In his first term, Trump appointed three judges to the Supreme Court: Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh.
In the latest episode of Pod Save America, Pfeiffer argued Democrats should mimic a strategy he said Republicans deployed in 2016 when some were convinced to support Trump in the presidential election due to the significance of a Supreme Court seat being open at the time. Democrats, Pfeiffer said, should “reverse” this strategy and make the Supreme Court as central to their pitch as Republicans did…
“If he gets two appointments, that means he will have appointed five Supreme Court Justices, all of whom will be around or below the age of 60 when he leaves office,” he said. “That is a court majority — a MAGA court majority that will rule for decades.
Watch the clip below:

Biden just keeps sinking. His approval rating took another hit in May, bringing it to its lowest level in almost two years.
It’s hardly a surprise given the state of the economy, the border, national security, etc.
Breitbart News reports:
Biden’s Approval Rating, 36%, Drops to Lowest Mark Since July 2022
President Joe Biden’s approval rating in May fell to its lowest level in almost two years, Reuters/Ipsos poll found Tuesday, deepening reelection concerns.
Presidents historically need an approval rating around 50 percent to win reelection.
Only 36% approve of Biden, down two points since April. It matches his lowest-ever approval rating in July 2022.
Biden’s sluggish economy for main street was the top issue (23 percent) for Americans, while 21 percent of respondents said political extremism was the top issue, followed by the open border (13 percent).
On the question of who managed the economy better, Trump soared ten points above Biden (40-30 percent).
To make matters worse for Biden, he is now trailing Trump in fundraising numbers.
Hot Air reported:
Biden Campaign Falls Behind in Fundraising for the First Time
This can’t be good news for team Biden. While the president’s poll numbers have remained in the mud he could at least celebrate that his campaign fundraising was going well, beating out the Trump team each month. But things took a turn in April.
President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign’s fundraising in April lagged rival Donald Trump’s for the first time, after the former president ramped up his joint operation with the Republican National Committee and headlined high-dollar fundraisers.
The Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee raised more than $51 million in April, the campaign said, lower than the $90 million they raised in March and less than $76 million Donald Trump and the Republican Party reported taking in for the month.
There is something in the air right now.
The 2024 election already does not feel like the 2020 election.

Joe Biden has a major problem with Independent voters and as we have noted previously, this alone could easily cost Joe the election. We often focus on the right and the left, but elections are usually decided by people who fall somewhere in the middle.
Former trump adviser Kellyanne Conway recently appeared on the Laura Ingraham show and pinpointed what she sees as the moment Biden lost independents.
According to Conway, it was the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. She correctly notes that Biden’s poll numbers with Independents have never recovered after that moment in time. She also cites the dismal Biden economy as a driving force.
Transcript via Happyscribe:
For a while, Laura, actually, Joe Biden lost independence [independents] after that chaotic, inexcusable withdrawal from Afghanistan and has never won them back in anyone’s polling. He’s never been on top approval versus disapproval among independents. But when you listen to folks who actually voted for Biden say they’re going to vote for Trump, they’re very clear-headed and concise as to why that is. The New York Times report showed it has an awful lot to do with the economy, inflation. Just the cost of everyday life has become increasingly unaffordable.
They blame the guy in charge for that. When Kareem [Karine] Jean-Pierre says, Gas is down 15 cents, groceries are down 2%, people are saying, Excuse me, housing costs and the CPI, core inflation, when we are trying to feed ourselves, close [clothe] ourselves, put a roof over our heads. That’s up close to 20%. The Wall Street Journal had an unbelievable set of graphs today everybody should look at demonstrating this.
The flip side, the Biden voters, the hard core Biden voters who are going to vote for him again. According to the New York Times, they tend to be white. They tend to be abortion voters. They tend to be against Trump, not for Biden.
This video is cued to start at the 1:22 mark. Just press play:
It will be fascinating to see what kind of role Kellyanne plays in the Trump campaign and hopefully, cabinet, going forward.

Bill Maher is obviously making the media rounds to promote a new book and he is talking to all sorts of people on the right. One night this week, he appeared on the Greg Gutfeld Show.
Then he appeared on the Megyn Kelly podcast. In one interesting exchange, Megyn gave Bill an education about Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election denialism.
Bill insisted that Hillary conceded the race that night, as if that excuses everything that followed. Megyn correctly points out that Hillary then spent four years calling Trump an ‘illegitimate’ president. She even showed the clips to Maher.
Mediaite has the exchange:
As the two continued sparring on Trump’s claims of election fraud, the two clashed again on Hillary Clinton and comments she made about the 2016 presidential election. In 2019, she referred to Trump as an “illegitimate president” years after conceding her loss.
Maher objected after Kelly referred to Clinton as an “election denier.”
“She absolutely was the OG election denier,” Kelly declared.
“First of all, she came out before the sun had risen to concede the election to Trump,” Maher said.
“And then spent the next four years saying he was illegitimate, he was an illegitimate president,” Kelly added.
Maher appeared to not know the “illegitimate” quote, but he argued she conceded the election, making the point moot.
“Whether you’re interpreting her disappointment at losing it as the same thing as Trump not conceding it… it’s a tremendous false equivalency,” he said.
Here’s the clip:
Megyn Kelly triggers Bill Maher by calling Hillary Clinton the ‘original election denier’:
MK: “Hillary Clinton of course is the original election denier.”
BM: “She’s not an election denier.”

Twitchy grabbed this part of the original story:
Conservative TV host Tucker Carlson has launched his own show on a Russian state television channel.
The former Fox News anchor is presenting the program Tucker on the rolling news channel Russia 24, with the first episode now available online, Russian state newspaper Rossiskya Gazyeta reported.
The paper said that the show is part of a joint project with Carlson TV, in which he will interview figures and politicians who have “alternative views to the mainstream.”
In February, Carlson interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin.
Newsweek has since been forced to update the story.
Newsweek has now updated their headline and added an editor's note stating that Tucker did not in fact launch a show on Russian TV after Tucker Carlson Network CEO @NeilPatelTDC rejected their claim and said Newsweek didn't even reach out to them for comment before publishing it.… https://t.co/rJQQmaqMDa pic.twitter.com/cRKO27dudy

The Daily Wire reported on this:
Bette Midler Gets Fact-Checked After Asking, What If Hillary Clinton ‘Claimed The Election Was Stolen?’
The remark, seemingly out of the blue from the legendary singer and actress whose career in Hollywood and on Broadway has spanned more than five decades, immediately attracted criticism as well as a fact-check.
Critics pointed out that Clinton is on the record questioning the results of the election she lost to former President Donald Trump.
“There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level,” Clinton said in October 2020 during an interview on The Atlantic’s politics podcast, The Ticket. “We still don’t know what really happened.”
“There’s just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover,” Clinton continued. “But you don’t win by 3 million votes and have all this other shenanigans and stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, ‘Whoa, something’s not right here.’ That was a deep sense of unease.”
Midler got roasted by other people:

What is going on with our justice system?
David DePape, the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul has already faced a trial, was convicted, and sentenced to 30 years in jail. His crime took place in October of 2022.
Meanwhile, Nicholas Roske, who showed up at the home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh with a gun and other dangerous items with the intention of killing him, has not even gone on trial yet. And his crime happened months before the attack on Paul Pelosi!

A few weeks ago, the Washington Free Beacon pointed out that the case against Roske is being slow-walked and no one seems to know why:
Biden DOJ Slow-Walks ‘Slam Dunk’ Case Against Man Who Allegedly Tried To Kill Justice Kavanaugh, Baffling Experts
President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is dragging its feet in prosecuting Nicholas Roske, the man accused of trying to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, leaving legal experts perplexed about the slow-moving pace of the case.
Roske was indicted for attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice nearly two years ago in June 2022, after allegedly traveling from his parent’s home in California to the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., with the intent to kill Kavanaugh. Roske, a biological male who identified in some online posts as a transgender woman, was upset over the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, according to court documents…
“It’s noteworthy that after nearly two years, there is still no trial date or plea agreement in this case,” Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at The Lawfare Project, told the Free Beacon. “While pretrial motions would resolve questions about the admissibility of some of the evidence, including statements made by Roske, there is no underlying procedural reason why it would take this long to get to trial.”
Does criminal justice in the United States now depend on the politics of the people who are victims of crimes?
It sure looks that way in this case.

Illegal immigrants are apparently paying attention to political poll numbers in the United States.
Many of them are afraid that Trump is going to win in November and they’re rushing to the border as a result. They’re afraid that the free-for-all they have enjoyed under Biden will be all over and the border will finally come to an end.
Say what you will about these people, but they’re not stupid. They know Biden is in their corner and that Trump is serious about border security.
The New York Post reported:
Migrants rushing to cross border now in case Biden loses in November: ‘We don’t want Trump’
Migrants are coming to the US now because they fear President Biden could lose re-election in November and Donald Trump will shut the border.
Colombian brothers Ricardo, 20, and Sebastian, 18, spoke with The Post after crossing the Arizona border illegally last week.
They said they had been receiving assistance at the Yuma Regional Center for Border Health as they waited for a bus to the Phoenix airport, where they later caught a flight to New Jersey.
“We think with the elections, it will be harder,” Ricardo said.
“We don’t want Trump,” Sebastian said.
The brothers claimed asylum after they crossed the southern border and turned themselves in to Border Patrol agents in Yuma. They said they faced threats from criminals in Colombia, leading them to flee.
The Trump campaign could make an ad based on this report.

Left wing loons who support Hamas tried to heckle comedian Jerry Seinfeld during a recent live show. These people are dedicated to ruining experiences for people, whether it’s college graduation ceremonies or even a comedy show.
The crowd at Jerry’s show was having none of it. In addition to chanting Jerry’s name, they got security to remove the people. Jerry hit back with comments, too.
Mind you, this is all because Jerry Seinfeld is Jewish and supports Israel.

Seinfeld, who has been in the crosshairs of the anti-Israel activists lately due to his support of the Jewish state, had been performing in Virginia when one heckler called him a “genocide supporter” in the middle of his set.
“Save the children of Gaza! No more American tax dollars for genocide!” the heckler yelled.
The audience immediately greeted the heckler with a torrent of boos and told him to “shut up and get out.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself! You should all be ashamed of yourselves!” the heckler shouted back.
For his part, Seinfeld refused to take it lying down and immediately roasted the heckler.
“This is fun. I like this. I think your message is really resonating with the crowd. People seem to be on your side,” Seinfeld said in jest.
“How dare you support a genocide!” the heckler shot back.
“I like it when the Jew-haters spice up the show,” Seinfeld quipped.

Senator Tim Scott recently appeared on the Sean Hannity show and called out the liberal media for ignoring Joe Biden’s relationship with Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who at one point in his life was a member of the KKK.
Scott and Sean brought up other examples of Biden’s racism, such as his ‘Jungle’ comments about school bussing and the fact that even Kamala Harris criticized him for that before she was chosen to be his running mate.
Tim Scott then goes on to talk about why Biden’s coalition is falling apart.
Breitbart News reported:
Tim Scott: ‘National Media Goes Dark’ on Joe Biden’s Association with Racist, KKK Member
During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) highlighted how the national media have seemingly downplayed President Joe Biden’s association with the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV).
Byrd is an admitted former member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a topic that Scott claimed the media had gone “dark.”
“The thing that is the most unbelievable to me and if it were a Republican probably would be career-killing, which is him partnering with his friend and mentor, a former Klansman to stop the integration of public schools and busing,” host Sean Hannity said. “Even Kamala Harris criticized him for that — in that — that presidential primary debate in 2020. I was that girl, I believe she said, and because he didn’t want public schools, his words, to be racial jungles. Am I like the only one in the country that that dares to bring this up and ask incredulously why doesn’t anyone care about that?”
This is one of the reasons that Democrats and the media don’t like to talk about the history of the parties. The KKK was founded by Democrats and the Republican party was founded to end slavery in the United States.

The AMC Network has put a ‘trigger warning’ on the classic mobster movie Goodfellas over what they claim are cultural stereotypes.
Stereotype or not, the film is based on the true story of Henry Hill, who was part of the mob for years. The other characters are also based on real people.
Also, if they were going to put a warning on this movie, wouldn’t it make more sense to tell people about all the murdering and other violence? This is just so dumb.
The New York Post reports:
AMC slaps ‘Goodfellas’ with trigger warning for ‘offensive’ content that includes ‘cultural stereotypes’
They’re whacking a classic.
AMC Networks added a trigger warning to the classic mob movie “Goodfellas” — rankling those who were in the film and wiseguys alike.
“This film includes language and/or cultural stereotypes that are inconsistent with today’s standards of inclusion and tolerance and may offend some viewers,” a message reads at the top of the film when screened on the network.
The warning was first affixed to the movie during the height of Black Lives Matter riots when many businesses and cultural institutions made avoiding offense to various groups a core part of their missions…
“The f–king political correctness has f–king taken everything away,” Bo Ditel, a former NYPD cop who played a police officer in “Goodfellas,” told The Post. “This is how life was back then. It was not a clean beautiful thing. You can’t cleanse history. If you want to tell true history, you gotta tell it the way it is.”

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ has decided that lifetime appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Electoral College, both of which are enshrined in the United States Constitution, are un-American.
Do you think she would feel that way if the Supreme Court was majority liberal, or if the Electoral College system favored Democrats? Not a chance.
Who is she to decide what is un-American? Just a reminder… The View is considered part of ABC News.
Nicholas Fondacaro reports at NewsBusters:
We ‘Need to Fix’ It: Behar Decries the Constitution as ‘Un-American’
Joy Behar, the same co-host of ABC’s The View who thought the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was the military alliance that defeated Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, was back with more of her wisdom during Friday’s show. According to her, two elements of the U.S. Constitution – both present since the founding – were “un-American.”
“These lifetime assignments [to the U.S. Supreme Court] have got to stop and they need to fix the Electoral College also because that’s un-American,” she shrieked.
Behar was triggered by newly released, years-old photos of an inverted American flag allegedly outside the home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito several days AFTER the riot at the Capitol. The latest smear campaign against conservative justices suggested – without evidence – that it was to show solidarity with the rioters.
Ignoring or ignorant of the meaning of an inverted flag, Behar declared it was something wholly invented by “MAGA people”:

A socialist member of Chicago’s city council believes that the idea of using police to ensure safe streets and punishing criminals is “racist” while calling America a “garbage society.”
Rossana Rodriguez is an alderwoman on Chicago’s city council who supports defunding the police and caucuses with the Democratic Socialists. The alderwoman, who explicitly calls for “critical race theory” to be taught to children, is also involved in the council’s Education and Child Development committee.
The alderwoman repeatedly blasts American society in her frequent social media tirades.
According to the councilmember, America is “a garbage society” and “a White supremacist society and system” that “favors White people.” Rodriguez believes that “White people are ahead in the game” in comparison to minority groups…
“When we say #DefundThePolice we mean developing alternatives to racist punishment and brutality. This work has been around for a while and it’s a great tool to rethink our ideas of what public safety should look like,” Rodrigues said in response to a post about “police abolition” in 2020.
Here is Rodriguez pictured wearing a shirt that says ‘eat the rich.’

Like many liberals, @RossanaFor33 is insecure and bitter. Her solution is not self-reflection and improvement; it’s to lazily blame others’ success on race, sex, religion, etc. This attitude will only guarantee continued failure. #Chicago https://t.co/HjsiLllcBH

The city of Burien in Washington State, a suburban community south of Seattle, has erected a fence to contain a growing homeless encampment that is encroaching on a local courthouse.
The homeless community is not happy about the fencing but the encampment is not even legal.
Homelessness is a growing problem in many cities but the northwest is struggling with the issue more than other parts of the country.
Breitbart News reports:
VIDEO — ‘Caged in Like Animals’: Washington Officials Place Fence Around Homeless Camp Near Courthouse
A fence was set up Thursday around a homeless encampment in Burien, Washington, after tents spilled over into a nearby parking lot.
The tents are now surrounded by fencing near the Burien Courthouse parking lot at 6th Avenue SW and SW 149th Street, Fox 13 reported.
A King County Facilities Management Division spokesperson said the fence was set up to make sure the court’s parking lot was available for its own purposes.
However, the spokesperson added that, “We are not using the fencing to establish or define a tent camping area, or control the tent camping that is present on the site.”…
When speaking of the fencing, Michael Collins, who has lived at the encampment for several months, told Fox 13, “It’s like they’re caging us in — like we’re a danger maybe. It’s kind of like a jail. Caged in like animals.”

CNN’s Harry Enten recently broke down the surge of support for Trump among black voters and seemed stunned by the findings.
As we pointed out yesterday, black voters are deserting Democrats over inflation and extremism.
Enten notes that black support for Trump is especially strong among young voters.
FOX News reports:
Trump’s surge in polls with Black voters stuns CNN analyst: ‘Truly historic’
Former President Trump’s surge in the polls among Black voters is a “troubling sign” for the Biden campaign, a data reporter warned Friday.
Recent polling shows the former president could get a “historic” boost from Black voters in November if they continue to sour on President Biden, CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported.
“My goodness gracious,” he said as he reacted to the polling average, which showed Trump’s support among Black voters more than doubled to 22% compared to 2020. Biden, meanwhile, saw a 12% drop, though he still holds a 47-point lead.
If this continued into November, Trump could win a larger share of Black voters than any Republican candidate since 1960, Enten said.
“This would be by far the best performance for a Republican candidate among Black voters in a generation, two generations, probably since 1960 and Richard Nixon against John F. Kennedy … This could be a truly historic margin,” he said. “It’s quite a troubling sign for the Biden campaign.”
However, there’s a stark difference when factoring age. The polling average CNN cited showed 82% of Black voters 50 and older, but that dropped to 62% for voters under 50. Trump has support from 25% of Black voters from 18 to 49 — three times more than older voters.
Watch the video below:
Trump has doubled his support among Black voters from this point four years ago. If his support held, it'd be the best GOP performance since Richard Nixon in 1960 among Black voters….

One of the most talked about aspects of the 2024 election so far, is the movement of minority voters away from the Democrat party and their increasing support for Trump.
According to a recent survey, there are two specific reasons for this. The first is economic issues, such as the crippling inflation of Joe Biden. The other reason given is the Democrats’ rush to embrace the most extreme elements in their party.
Immigration is also given as a specific example here, and is certainly playing a role as well. Outraged residents of blue cities like Chicago are making their anger know to public officials every week.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Black voters fleeing Biden and Democrats over inflation and extremism
Black voters are trending away from President Joe Biden and Democrats, frustrated that Democrats are not addressing kitchen table issues as they grab for extreme matters to woo leftists, according to a broad poll of 39 battleground congressional districts.
In the new survey from Cygnal, conducted in 20 states, Democrats are struggling to maintain their edge with black and women voters, “two traditionally reliable Democrat voting blocs.”
Vice President of Polling Brock McCleary told Secrets on Wednesday morning, “Democrats are in trouble with black voters, as the number of those saying the Democrat Party is more extreme than the Republican Party has increased by 20% since March. Biden is similarly in trouble, with over a third having an unfavorable view of the president, and it’s largely because they’re most concerned with the cost of living and not ideological issues like climate change and election integrity that his administration has chosen to prioritize.”
For some black and women voters upset with Biden, the choice is former President Donald Trump.
It makes perfect sense. The economic hardship brought by Biden’s presidency is being felt by all Americans, regardless of race.

A professor from the City University of New York (CUNY) recently triggered a group of campus radicals by simply waving an American flag at them.
His conclusion after observing these incidents is that what the protesters really want is the destruction of America and he is speaking out about it.
It’s obvious to many that the current round of radical protests look an awful lot like the tactics of Antifa and Occupy Wall Street. That is not a coincidence.
Watch:
Things that were said to me by the pro-Hamas "protesters" while I flew the American flag high and proud behind their anti-America rally at Kingsborough today:
1. "Fascist Symbol!"
2. "Nazi flag!"
3. "I'll F&@ck him up!"
4. "Block it. Use our flag to block it." pic.twitter.com/1fSqOFpY7T— CUNY PROF (@CUNY_Prof) May 14, 2024
Ed Morrissey writes at Hot Air:
The Jerusalem Post picked up the story late yesterday, noting some of the reactions to Lax’s pro-American response to their protests. It’s not that they didn’t want the American flag intruding on their messaging, but that it appeared to have enraged the protesters more. According to Lax, they called it a “fascist symbol” and a “Nazi flag,” while calling for violence against Lax. After his counterprotest, activists in the Kingsborough Community College Muslim Student Association (which had organized the CUNY protest in the video) identified him and called for Lax to be targeted for protests — along with other “Zionist staff.”
Lax has a pretty clear view of the endgame for these protests and tactics. Their real goal has much less to do with Gaza and the West Bank; their targets are much closer. This is all about The Revolution here, and the throwing down of the American flag on a permanent basis:
“I’m an American, and these people hate America,” said Lax. “I want to protect my country and stand up for my country.” …
THE DEMANDS called for the expulsion of the New York Police Department from all CUNY campuses, the end of all association with the CIA and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps-ROTC, the removal of all US symbols from campus, and rename buildings after figures like Black Liberation Army convicted murderer Assata Shakur. Lastly, the activists demanded free tuition and for CUNY not to be “beholden to Zionist and imperialist private donors.”
Lax said that the demands aspired toward undermining American institutions in the campus, city, and country. The reason that the protests often blocked bridges and arteries was to destroy American infrastructure and way of life.“They want America destroyed,” said the professor.
The professor elaborates here:
I proudly waved the American flag behind the pro terror ralliers while some tried to rip it away from me and block it. One cuny professor instructed the thugs to block the American flag. Don't worry, they couldn't keep up with me. #theyhateamerica pic.twitter.com/nSwk8HXHOJ

A woman was recently attacked by a massive bull on a Mexico beach.
She made at least three very stupid mistakes. She fed the bull. She kept trying to retrieve her belongings from the bull who was interested in them and sniffing them. Finally, she did not run and seek a protective position away from the animal.
This woman put herself in harm’s way. She might as well have stood in front of an oncoming train.
FOX News reports:
Raging bull attacks woman on Mexican beach as tourists scream in horror: video
A wild and violent bull that was loose on a popular Mexican beach attacked a woman several times as panicked onlookers screamed in horror, a terrifying new video shows.
The heart-stopping video, which was shot Saturday at Cabo San Lucas, shows the black beast charging and ramming the woman more than six times after she tries to snatch her bags away from the animal. Cabo San Lucas is a resort city on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and is popular among tourists.
The video first shows the black beast under a canopy with the woman who appears to be feeding the horned animal food from a bag and then from a silver bowl.
Dressed in a loose dress and beach hat, the woman appears unperturbed by the dangers the incredibly strong bovine possesses. Bulls can weigh well over 2,000 pounds depending on the breed and are well known to be aggressive.

In a recent media appearance, Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas pointed out that in the New York Trump trial there is no evidence of any crime.
He suggested that the judge should go around the jury completely and direct a verdict of not guilty.
Even better? He said all of this on CNN.
Breitbart News has more details:
Cotton: ‘There’s Been No Evidence of Any Crime Whatsoever’ in Trump’s NYC Trial
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said Thursday on CNN’s “News Central” that “there’s been no evidence of any crime whatsoever” in former President Donald Trump’s New York business record case.
Host Kate Bolduan said, “We’ve seen Republican lawmakers quite a lot of them coming to New York City to sit in on Donald Trump’s trial to show their support for him.”
She asked, “Do you think it’s important for anyone who wants to be VP to have to show up to this trial? I mean, do you think anyone do you think someone can get the job without it?”
Cotton said, “I turned in my law license 20 years ago and I haven’t seen inside of a courtroom since then and I don’t have any plans to do so in the future. I agree with what President Trump said. It’s important that we do our job as legislators in Washington, for instance making sure that we overturn Joe Biden’s de facto arms embargo and get Israel, the weapons it needs.”
See the video below:

A recent New York Times poll was full of good news for Donald Trump and MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ host Joe Scarborough just can’t deal.
This week, he actually accused the New York Times polling of pro-Trump bias. Does anyone believe that’s true?
Scarborough’s rant was just theater. He knows Joe Biden watches the show, so he is making arguments that he knows Biden wants to hear.
NewsBusters provides a transcript:
HEILEMANN: I’m not saying it’s not close. I’m not going to carry water for the New York Times or the methodology of this poll. I would keep going back to the thing that I try to say every time we talk about these things. Which is, that I’m really interested in — and I know you know this. What are the polls showing us directionally about the race?
SCARBOROUGH: I understand. There’s a difference, though, with the New York Times/ Siena poll, and you know this. It’s given disproportionate impact. This year, this cycle, it is skewed wildly in Donald Trump’s direction. [Heilemann tries to speak.]
Hold on. And the New York Times feasts on it with clickbait stories, like, a dozen at a time.
HEILEMANN: And I, what I’m trying to focus on is what I think people should pay attention to [tries to continue]–
SCARBOROUGH: — [Interrupting] But what I’m trying to focus on is, the New York Times right now is actively shaping the election cycles, where this poll comes out on a Sunday, and on Monday, people go, oh — and I heard it! And I’m sitting there going, don’t be so stupid.
That’s why we’re doing this. [Heilemann tries to respond. Scarborough shouts.]

The liberal outlet Politico is reporting that Biden aides are worried about the president suffering ‘psychological torment’ over his son Hunter’s trial.
The media is truly beyond parody.
Can you imagine any media outlet reporting something like this about the Trump family and his trials? It would never happen.
From Politico:
Biden aides worry about psychological torment as Hunter heads for trial
President Joe Biden will soon have to watch and wait as 12 jurors in his home state decide whether his son is guilty of felony gun charges — a case brought by his own Justice Department.
For the White House, the scenario of Hunter Biden’s first criminal trial, all but assured to start June 3, is an unprecedented event in American political history that they hoped never to face.
While aides insist that the White House will have no involvement in the case, brought by special counsel David Weiss, some fear it could dramatically impact the president himself, more psychologically than politically.
Three advisers granted anonymity to speak about private deliberations said they, and members of the First Family, are worried about the weight Hunter Biden’s trial will place on the president at an already difficult time for him politically. Biden has expressed fears to them about the possibility that his son will serve time in prison.
“He worries about Hunter every single day, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep,” said one of the three advisers. “That will only pick up during a trial.”

Pamela Price, the district attorney in Oakland, California who was elected with backing from George Soros, is going to face a recall vote in November.
Crime has gotten so out of control in Oakland that multiple businesses such as In and Out Burger have fled the city in recent months.
Price is a supporter of the ‘social justice’ approach to law enforcement that has unleashed massive crime problems in multiple American cities.
The Oaklandside reports:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will face recall election in November
Oakland voters, mark your calendars. The question of whether or not Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price should be allowed to fill out the rest of her term will be decided on Nov. 5, 2024.
The county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to consolidate the recall with the general election, which will include local, state, and federal races and ballot measures. Supervisors Lena Tam and David Haubert attended part of the meeting but were excused before the vote.
Proponents of the recall wanted the county to hold a special election this summer that would solely feature the recall question. County staff have said this would cost around $15-20 million, factoring in expenses for hundreds of election workers, printing ballots and election materials, postage, and setting up vote centers. In comparison, the cost of adding the recall question to the November general election ballot will be $4 million…
“We need justice for our babies, and actually nothing is going to change if Pamela Price is still in office,” said Brenda Angulo, whose 15-year-old son Erick Portillo was murdered in Hayward last year. “I don’t understand why it’s an issue economically.”
Price is vowing to fight the recall.
From Mercury News:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price goes on offensive, vows to defeat recall effort
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price went on the offensive Wednesday, vowing to prevail against a well-heeled recall attempt that will be decided on a packed November presidential election ballot…
Backed by more than a dozen supporters holding signs proclaiming “Protect the Win,” Price framed the recall campaign as a bid to “overturn” the results of the 2022 election, during which she became the first Black woman to serve as Alameda County’s top prosecutor.
If the people of Oakland want things to change, they need to vote this woman out of office, and it can be done.

Survivor of Mao’s political purge getting ‘PTSD’ watching history repeat on college campuses
A survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution says she is experiencing post-traumatic stress witnessing history repeat itself on college campuses as “Marxist hordes” have taken over in anti-American and anti-Israel demonstrations.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lily Tang Williams, who is currently running as a Republican candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd district, said she fears the country she left is coming back to haunt her again in the United States.
“I sometimes I get nervous, and I feel like I’m having a little bit of PTSD and like I can’t sleep well whenever I see the way they’re chanting, using drums and us[ing] slogans, [are] humiliating people and have a huge amount of young people…chanting ‘Death to America,’ not just ‘Death to Israel.’ I just feel like, oh my goodness the… Red Guards are in action again,” she said.

Just a few years after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the al Qaeda terror network is moving back into the country.
Leaders of the group have reportedly been given ‘safe haven’ there. This is the beginning of the story that led to the 9/11 attacks, chapter and verse.
Plus, they now have the advantage of all of the American weapons and military equipment that Biden left behind in 2021. What could possibly go wrong?
Townhall reports:
How Is Afghanistan Doing Post-U.S. Withdrawal? Well…
It will come as little surprise to anyone who followed the Biden administration’s policy toward Afghanistan which culminated in the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces at the end of August 2021 that handing the country over to the Taliban has not resulted in some vibrant liberalized democracy. Instead, also unsurprisingly, Afghanistan has turned into a hotbed of terrorist activity…
Just a few short years later on Biden’s watch, and he’s again failed to deliver on a promise to hold the Taliban accountable, prevent a reemergence of terrorism, or act decisively to squash any threats emanating from Afghanistan.
The latest quarterly report to Congress from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) states that al Qaeda maintains “a safe haven in Afghanistan,” including for “around a dozen senior al Qaeda leaders.”
What’s more, there are now “up to eight new al Qaeda training camps, one stockpile weapons base, and five madrassas this quarter with help from al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent.”
Let the record show that this is all unfolding on Biden’s watch.

Boy did they miss out.
Seinfeld’s speech was amazing. It was barely political, except when he called out progressive ideas like privilege.
He focused mostly on how to be successful and happy in life, stressing the need for having a good sense of humor.
Here’s a partial transcript:
Thank you. Oh my God, what a beautiful day. What a beautiful class. We love you guys.
I am here today at the gracious invitation of President Price and the Duke Board of Trustees. Because after spending four years at what is considered one of the finest institutions of higher education in the world, they apparently feel that perhaps some light entertainment will get you all to the final realization. You know, I think I’ve really had enough of this place. Let’s bring in a comedian.
Let’s bring the sophistication and erudition of the Duke experience down a couple notches. And I thought, maybe that does make sense. Maybe the thinking was, what we really want is to just get these kids the hell out of here. What would give them that last final push?
Because what you might not be fully aware of is that the entire time you have been at this wonderful university, we have been meeting and talking to other kids that we would like to replace you with. Not because we weren’t happy with you. Not at all. You have been great. It’s just, you know, we want you to see what’s out there. I don’t want to say exactly how many kids we talked to. It’s roughly this many. And we met a lot of wonderful kids a lot.
Was there a time when we were thrilled to have you come here to learn, grow and flourish? Of course, there was… that time has passed. We do offer graduate programs in a number of different disciplines. If you and your parents want to stall your ultimate uselessness for a few more years.

In the 2024 election, it is beginning to look like states that were unthinkable for Trump four years ago could actually flip red.
Trump pollster John McLaughlin recently spoke to Breitbart News and talked about the possibility of Minnesota and Virginia going for Trump in November. This comes on top of the news that Trump is making a serious play for New Jersey and New York.
If Trump picks up some blue states in this election, it will be much more difficult for Democrats to deny the will of the people. Of course, they’ll still try.
From Breitbart News:
Exclusive — Trump Pollster: ‘Virginia and Minnesota Are in Play’
Virginia and Minnesota are in play, Trump pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner of McLaughlin & Associates, said during a Tuesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
McLaughlin said that Trump seems to be ahead in the national popular vote, explaining some of the data.
“There’s eligible voters — probably 100 million — who don’t vote. They had a record turnout last time, 160 million. That was up from 139 million in 2016,” he said, explaining that Trump is also ahead in battleground states. The Trump campaign, he continued, released top line numbers for polls taken in Minnesota and Virginia, showing something extraordinary.
“Minnesota, we had Trump at 40 percent, Biden at 40 percent, Kennedy at nine, and Virginia was Biden 40, Trump 37, Kennedy eight, so Virginia and Minnesota are in play,” he said, also citing an Emerson College Poll analyzing New Jersey. That survey showed Trump within five points. That poll, he added, was taken before Trump’s massive rally in the Garden State, which attracted roughly 100,000 people.
Listen below:
If Trump wins Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania in November, Democrats will be heartbroken. If Trump wins New Jersey, Minnesota, or Virginia, Democrats will completely lose their minds. It would be a thing of beauty.

John Ratzenberger, the actor who played ‘Cliff Clavin’ the mail carrier on the iconic TV series ‘Cheers’ is a Republican and a Trump supporter.
During a recent conversation with FOX News Digital, Ratzenberger explained that many working class people support Trump because he knows how to build things and understands the importance of this.
Ratzenberger has been talking about the importance of knowing how to build and use tools for years. Prior to becoming an actor, he was a carpenter.
FOX News reports:
‘Cheers’ star declares why he thinks working-class Americans support Trump: ‘He knows how to build things’
“Cheers” star and voice actor in the “Toy Story” franchise, John Ratzenberger, spoke to Fox News Digital about his support for former President Donald Trump, stating that the president is a builder who knows how important it is for America to have a resurgence in manufacturing and skilled labor jobs.
Ratzenberger, who made a living from carpentry in between acting gigs over the years, also explained why he believes the 2024 presidential candidate has a lot of support among American manufacturers and blue-collar workers – or as Ratzenberger likes to call them, “essential workers.”
“Because he knows how to build things,” Ratzenberger declared.
“Don’t forget what he did before he was on television and ran for president. He built buildings, so he was in charge of, ‘We need more glaziers or brick workers or carpenters, electricians.’ And that’s what he dealt with all his life,” he said.
The actor added, “And so he knows probably better than anybody – one of the reasons that I’m a fan of his – that we’re running out of those people, and it’s jeopardizing our civilization.”
In this video, Ratzenberger talks about the work he has done to teach people around the country about the importance of knowing how to use tools and make things.

Over the weekend, a Louisiana church that was filled with families and small children got a shock as a teenager dressed all in black entered the building during a first communion mass armed with a rifle.
Luckily, the parishioners acted quickly and piled on top of the would-be shooter, stopping him in his tracks.
This is an excellent reminder that people have to be aware, be vigilant, and act quickly at the first signs of trouble.
RedState has more details:
Terrifying Moments: Teenager With Gun Stopped at First Communion Mass in Louisiana
The folks at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Abbeville, Louisiana, were having a First Communion mass for about 60 kids on Saturday. They likely thought that they were going to have a beautiful celebration together.
But unfortunately, they also had some scary moments that intruded on the solemnity of the day. As the priest Fr. Nicholas Duper was on the altar, at about 48 minutes in, you can see a man come up to the altar, bend over, and whisper in his ear. That is certainly not a usual occurrence during a Catholic mass. You can see the priest absorbing something, and then he suddenly asks the parishioners to sit and to pray, as he starts to say a “Hail Mary.”…
What was going on was that there was a suspicious armed person — a teenager dressed in black — who had entered the church vestibule with a gun. Parishioners stopped him and detained him, pinning him to the ground. Then the police came and arrested him.

Is someone putting something in the water over at CNN?
Last week, CNN host Fareed Zakaria made headlines by suggesting that Biden should adopt Trump’s policies on immigration and the border.
Now Zakaria is telling Democrats that it’s time to face the ‘reality’ that Joe Biden is probably going to lose the election in November.
He comes right out and says that he personally doesn’t want Trump to win, but that barring some unforeseen event, Trump is likely to walk away with the win.
Real Clear Politics provides a transcript:
FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN: I have to admit none of this is playing out as I thought it would.
Trump is now leading in almost all the swing states. But behind those numbers lie even more troubling details. As someone worried about the prospects of a second Trump term, I think it’s best to be honest about reality. I understand that polls are not always accurate. But in general, they have tended to underestimate Donald Trump’s support, not overestimate it. I doubt that there are many shy Biden voters in the country.
The economy has been in a robust recovery for more than two years now with unemployment hitting a 54-year low in 2023 and increasing only slightly since then. But Biden is getting little credit for it. The shift here is stark. On the question of whom voters trust more to deal with the economy, Trump has a 22-point lead over Biden according to an NBC poll from January. This marks of a 15-point bump for Trump compared to the same poll in 2020.
Perhaps this is because inflation is a far more pervasive problem than unemployment affecting all Americans every day. Perhaps it’s because people’s views on the economy now are largely derived from their broader attitudes towards the candidates. But whatever the reasons it’s a stunning reversal in the midst of a relentless stream of good economic news.
On cultural issues, Biden and Democrats benefit from the opposition to the Republican Party’s position on abortion. But on the other great cultural issue, immigration, Biden is 35 points behind Trump as to who would handle it better. And I do wonder whether abortion will be as large an issue in a presidential race, given that reversing Roe v. Wade threw the issue to state governments and legislatures, and not the federal government.
Watch the whole thing:

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki has released a new book in which she claims that Joe Biden never looked at his watch during a ceremony for the return of the service members who were killed during his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In a twist of nearly perfect irony, Psaki claims that in saying this, she was fighting misinformation.
Even some liberal news outlets are calling her out on this.
From Axios:
Psaki’s new book falsely recounts Biden’s watch check in troop ceremony
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki claims in her new book that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 — contradicting news photos and firsthand accounts of Gold Star families.
Why it matters: In TV ads and social media posts, Donald Trump and his allies repeatedly have used images of Biden checking his watch during the ceremony to try to undermine the president’s brand as an empathetic leader.
– Psaki’s book is the latest instance of current and former Biden administration officials downplaying or misrepresenting controversial episodes from the Afghanistan withdrawal ahead of the 2024 election…
– Psaki, now a star anchor at MSNBC who has described herself as a journalist, writes that Biden’s critics were engaged in “misinformation” and used the image to make “him appear insensitive, concerned only about how much time had passed.”
Is it really misinformation if we can see it happen on video?

The Gold Star families are justifiably outraged.
The Daily Mail reports:
Several members of the families of the troops killed in Afghanistan expressed their frustration with Psaki for denying the incident, which many of them personally witnessed…
The group called on Psaki’s book publisher and her employer MSNBC to address the mistake.
‘We are calling on Simon & Schuster and MSNBC to hold Ms. Psaki accountable for publishing this dishonest attack on Gold Star families,’ they concluded.

Trump has made it clear that he is making a major play for the state of New Jersey in 2024 and he is smart to do so.
One need look no further than the massive turnout for his rally in Wildwood this weekend.
FOX News recently spoke to a few voters from the state about this and they all agreed that Trump can flip New Jersey red this fall.
From FOX News:
NJ voters say Trump could flip state red despite legal woes: ‘There’s momentum’
A panel of N.J. voters joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss why they believe the former president has a shot to secure those electoral votes in November as he campaigns in between his various legal appearances.
“It’s not having a negative impact, so if anything, it’s going in the opposite [direction] because they can’t believe that this is happening to a civilized nation,” resident Roy Paret told co-host Todd Piro on Friday. “What’s happening with their trial is really what you would think would happen either in communism or a Third World country, so this, I say, is definitely helping.”
“When he has free time, of course he has to stay local. He went to the bodegas in Harlem. He’s doing things in New York, and 100% this will help him, I feel, in multiple states, and it’s showing already,” he continued. “And New Jersey, I agree, will turn red this time around as long as they can follow up on voter integrity [and] check out voter IDs. I feel New Jersey will be switching just like many other states out there.”

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas slammed life in Washington, DC while attending a recent judicial conference.
He described DC as a ‘hideous place’ and explained that this is part of the reason that he and his wife like to go on RV trips.
It’s hardly surprising that Thomas feels this way when you consider what he has been put through over the years by Democrats and the beltway media.
RedState reported:
Clarence Thomas Unleashed: Calls DC a ‘Hideous Place’ Where ‘People Pride Themselves in Being Awful’
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is often viewed as a cipher, considering that for years he sat silent on the bench and for a decade didn’t ask a single question during proceedings. He’s been more vocal in recent times, however, and on Friday at a conference of the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Point Clear, Alabama, he was anything but quiet.
Political operatives in the nation’s capital are simply “awful,” he told the audience:
Thomas… described Washington as a place where “people pride themselves in being awful.”
“It is a hideous place as far as I’m concerned,” Thomas said.
“It’s one of the reasons we like RVing,” he added. “You get to be around regular people who don’t pride themselves in doing harmful things merely because they have the capacity to do it or because they disagree.”
Thomas should know—he was at the center of the Anita Hill fiasco—overseen by then-Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Joe Biden—where he was subjected to evidence-free, humiliating claims of sexual harassment during his SCOTUS confirmation hearings in 1991.
This classic clip helps to explain why the left has been so nasty to Thomas over the years. He does not change his views with the winds of public opinion. He believes right is right no matter what.
Justice Clarence Thomas:
North is still north!
Right is still right!
Truth is still truth!

The city of San Francisco is using tax dollars to buy vodka and beer for homeless alcoholics. Who thought this was a good idea?
Aside from the issue of using tax dollars to do this, how is this good for the homeless alcoholics? Shouldn’t the goal be to get these people off the street and into treatment?
How are these people helped by the city feeding their addiction?
Breitbart News reports:
‘Where’s the Recovery in All This?’: SF Buying Beer, Vodka for Homeless Alcoholics with Taxpayer Money
Homeless alcoholics are getting free beer and vodka under a taxpayer-funded pilot program in San Francisco as city leadership grapples with the homelessness crisis plaguing its streets.
The city’s Department of Public Health runs the Managed Alcohol Program (MAP) to give doses of alcohol to the addicted, Fox News reported on Saturday.
Officials hope the program will “keep the homeless off the streets” and decrease incidents in which emergency services have to step in.
“Experts say the program can save or extend lives, but critics wonder if the government would be better off funding treatment and sobriety programs instead,” Fox noted.
Here’s more from the FOX News report:
The “Managed Alcohol Program” operated by San Francisco’s Department of Public Health serves regimented doses of alcohol to voluntary participants with alcohol addiction in an effort to keep the homeless off the streets and relieve the city’s emergency services. Experts say the program can save or extend lives, but critics wonder if the government would be better off funding treatment and sobriety programs instead.
“Established in countries such as Canada and Australia, a managed alcohol program is usually administered by a nurse and trained support staff in a facility such as a homeless shelter or a transitional or permanent home, and is one method to minimize harm for those with alcohol use disorder,” the California Health Care Foundation explains in an 2020 article describing the pilot program.

During a recent appearance on ‘Firing Line’ on PBS, CNN host Fareed Zakaria said that Joe Biden should adopt Trump’s immigration policies.
A cynical person might think this is more about Zakaria trying to help Biden win the election, and not about protecting the southern border.
Also, Zakaria doesn’t get everything right here. He uses the term ‘Muslim ban’ which is incorrect. He also repeats the claim that Trump told Republicans not to pass the immigration bill that Biden and Democrats offered, which doesn’t tell the whole story.
Townhall reported:
What a CNN Host Just Said About Trump and Illegal Immigration Shows That Hell Might Be Freezing Over
Is Joe Biden becoming the grim reaper for liberal media figures? I only say that because it feels that one by one, he’s making such prominent figures turn against him, even claiming that Trump-era policies were the correct ones on issues like illegal immigration. Of course, these folks will probably vote for Biden in November. Still, it’s saying something about the president where even CNN’s Fareed Zakaria says Biden must re-adopt Trump-era immigration policies. Zakaria was on PBS’ Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, where the GPS host said millions are especially gaming the asylum process…
So, is hell freezing over?
Biden is so wrong that CNN hosts are saying Trump’s immigration agenda was not just better but correct. We all knew when Biden issued those infamous executive orders reversing the border policies at the border. We now have millions pouring in, receiving better treatment than American citizens in some cases.

The border crisis has entered a new phase of insanity with some illegals working with criminal networks to steal truckloads of oil in west Texas.
These are not refugees in need of asylum. They are criminal thugs trying to rip off the United States.
Oil is energy and energy is a national security issue. This is not like stealing sneakers or jewelry. It’s much more serious.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Illegal immigrants stealing oil from Permian basin near Texas border
Authorities in West Texas have begun to see illegal immigrants aiding criminal networks in the stealing of truckloads of valuable oil and materials from the nation’s largest oilfields in the Permian Basin.
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), whose district spans 800 miles of the Texas border, organized federal and local law enforcement in the region Friday to come up with a plan of attack as the largest U.S. oilfield, the Permian Basin, continues to get hit by thieves. The matter is not only a border security matter but an energy security problem.
“The bottom line is the border crisis is expanding, and it is morphing into other things, and part of that is you have folks that are Cuban nationals that are kind of settling out in West Texas and in some cases are part of this increase in oil theft,” Gonzales told the Washington Examiner Friday in a phone interview, who later added that Cuban involvement was “growing.”
Winkler County Sheriff Darin Mitchell told reporters at a press conference at the epicenter for the oil theft on Friday that this type of crime had “increased dramatically” in recent months.
How did it get to this point?
Energy security is national security.

The 2024 Democrat National Convention in Chicago may end up being a chaotic freak show. Dem officials and the Biden campaign know that they may end up dealing with mobs of angry leftist protesters and they’re already taking steps to deal with it.
What they really fear is a repeat of the 1968 convention, which was a disaster.
One approach they are considering is a hybrid convention that is partially virtual so that they can hide the ugliness from the TV audience.
Politico reports:
The DNC Is Preparing for the Worst in Chicago — Without the Help of the City’s Mayor
President Joe Biden’s top advisers are all too aware the ghosts of 1968 may haunt their convention here, but they’re grappling with a pair of more urgent and thoroughly modern-day challenges as summer nears: How far can they go in reprising their virtual 2020 convention to mitigate the threat of disruption inside the arena, and how will they navigate a rookie mayor who unabashedly sympathizes with protesters?
Trumpeting the success of their Covid-era convention four years ago, some in Biden’s orbit are aggressively pushing to make the 2024 conclave a hybrid production. That would mean in-person speeches from the president, party luminaries and rising stars to draw television attention alongside a mix of pre-recorded testimonials and videos from other parts of the country.
The goal: drive maximum viewership on television and the internet while minimizing live programming and openings for protest in Chicago’s United Center. This would mean moving party business, such as rules and platform votes, off the floor and denying would-be demonstrators a chance to seize on contentious debates.

BYRON YORK, WASHINGTON EXAMINER: I think the Truth-O-Meter is off the scale on false because obviously Trump created a whole lot of jobs. We all know what happened in 2020 with the pandemic. But Trump’s economic record before that was quite good.
The bigger problem that Biden has is you can’t talk up the economy if people are feeling pain in their personal lives. They hear him talk and they say that is not what I’m seeing when I go to the grocery store and we’ve been trying to buy a house and it’s not working. You can’t talk up the economy when it disagrees with people’s own perceptions…
We have a number of interesting things going on.

A car thief behind the wheel of a Lamborghini in Los Angeles fled the police at more than 100 miles per hour and moments later crashed the vehicle, totaling it and getting thrown hundreds of feet from the wreck. He died at the scene.
Thieves are not usually very smart and this guy was no exception.
People who have never been behind the wheel of a vehicle like the Lamborghini have no idea how much power these cars have and how easily you can lose control. This man found out the hard way.

The suspect, 51-year-old Los Angeleno Elliott Dugan, woke up, refused to cooperate with law enforcement, and sped away to his death up the street, body and dashcam videos show.
The incident happened on April 6, but police released the videos Wednesday.
“Do you know why I pulled you over?” an officer asks.
In a conversation with officers, Dugan denied that the car was stolen and claimed he had rented it. Police asked him repeatedly to get out of the vehicle.
Dugan asserted that he did not have to get out of the car until police gave him a reason why. The officer said he would be detained and asked him several more times to get out.
He hit the gas instead.

The well known boxing promoter Don King was recently asked for his thoughts on the 2024 election and if he had a message for Trump.
He responded, ‘Get reelected.’ He went on to say, ‘We must reelect him to save ourselves.’
Love him or hate him, Don King is an icon and he certainly understands what’s at stake in the election.
RedState has more:
Don King has spoken, America. The Don King, I mean.
The 92-year-old legendary boxing promoter on Wednesday endorsed former President Donald Trump to become future President Donald Trump in November.
Like Trump, King has never been afraid to speak his exact mind.
Referring to the former president as “the only man who’s got the intestinal fortitude to be able to stand up and fight the system like it should be fought,” King’s endorsement of Trump was unequivocal.
Get reelected. And we must reelect him to save ourselves. You know, a vote for Trump is a vote for yourself. Because we’ve got to fight the system of lies and the creation of wrong being right and right being wrong. That’s got to be eliminated.

Some top Democrat strategists are sweating Joe Biden’s chances in Michigan in November, a state they agree is a must-win for Democrats.
Trump won Michigan in 2016 and he can certainly win there again. A recent poll has Trump ahead of Biden in the state by a whopping 15 points.
Biden has multiple problems in Michigan, including people who are angry about his (weak) support for Israel and union workers who are rightly, very concerned about the economy.
Townhall reports:
Dem Strategists Agree That Biden Is Totally Screwed If He Loses This State in 2024
The three states Democrats appear to be moving into the must-win category are Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—the old blue wall. It was predictable, though what wasn’t on the agenda was how poorly Biden was polling in Michigan. Independents cannot stand him, which even Democrats admit will be a project regarding mounting some turnaround with that demographic.
Ron Brownstein had more about the electoral math facing Biden, and if he loses Michigan, even James Carville is quoted as saying it could be a rough night for a president who no one seems to like, but they’re forced to vote for now.
Townhall point to this piece in the Atlantic:
At this point, former President Donald Trump’s gains have provided him with more plausible alternatives to cross the last mile to 270. Trump’s personal vulnerabilities, Biden’s edge in building a campaign organization, and abortion rights’ prominence in several key swing states could erase that advantage. But for now, Biden looks to have less margin for error than the former president…
Biden’s odds may particularly diminish if he cannot hold all three of the former “blue wall” states across the Rust Belt that he recaptured in 2020 after Trump had taken them four years earlier: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin…
As James Carville, the veteran Democratic strategist told me, if Biden can recover to win Michigan along with Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, “you are not going to lose.” But, Carville added, if Biden can’t hold all three, “you are going to have to catch an inside straight to win.”
The ‘Blue Wall’ that Democrats depend on every four years is no longer the guarantee that it used to be.
Trump has shown that he can win in these states and it has the Democrats terrified.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has introduced a new bill that would send anti-Israel/pro-Hamas campus protesters to Gaza for six months if they’re found guilty of illegal activity.
It’s about time someone suggested this. It could be a real learning experience for some of these radical students and professional agitators.
This bill would get tremendous support from people across the country who are sickened by what’s unfolding at our supposed institutions of higher education.
FOX News reports:
College anti-Israel agitators could be sent to Gaza under new House GOP bill
A new House Republican bill would send any person charged and convicted for illegal activity on a college campus to Gaza for at least six months.
Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., introduced the bill on Wednesday alongside Reps. Randy Weber, R-Texas, and Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., in response to the ongoing anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses across the country.
Several of those protests have turned violent, with clashes between police and activists, as well as hundreds of activists being arrested across multiple campuses.
While Ogles’ bill text does not mention Israel or the anti-Israel groups, it specifically targets unlawful activity on college campuses after Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas militants invaded Israel in a surprise attack that killed over 1,000 people…
“Students have abandoned their classes to harass other students and disrupt campus-wide activities, including university commencement ceremonies nationwide. Enough is enough,” Ogles told Fox News Digital.
Three cheers for Rep. Andy Ogles?

Proud to join @RepOgles to introduce a bill that would send any person charged & convicted for illegal activity on a college campus in Gaza for at least six months.
I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity https://t.co/xUdYee4VqM

My message is clear: if you’re a student visa holder rioting AGAINST American values and FOR Hamas terrorists, you can go study abroad in Gaza.

More Republicans need to get on board with this.

Fewer people see climate change as a ‘serious problem’ today compared to three years ago, according to new polling.
This is easy to understand. Climate change is a luxury problem. People tend to care less about an issue like climate change when they’re constantly worried about how they’re going to put food on the table, pay their mortgage, or put gas in their car.
For the last three years under Biden, Democrats have rushed to push as many climate change related policies as possible, as Americans across the country suffered with much more urgent problems.
The Hill reports:
Fewer Americans see climate change as very serious problem: Survey
Fewer Americans today see climate change as a “very serious” problem than they did three years ago, according to a new survey released Monday.
The Monmouth University poll, conducted on April 18-22 shows a 10-point decline in Americans who says climate change is a “very serious” problem, falling from 56 percent in September 2021 to 46 percent in April.
The decline was less steep overall – with 66 percent describing climate change as a problem that’s either “very serious” or “somewhat serious.” That’s down from 2021, when 70 percent of respondents described the climate change problem as either “very serious” or “somewhat serious.”
Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, attributed this trend to a decline in urgency among Americans.
“Most Americans continue to believe climate change is real. The difference in these latest poll results is a decline in a sense of urgency around this issue,” Murray said.
The decline in urgency can be seen most acutely among young people – who have historically viewed climate change as a “very serious” problem at significantly higher rates than other age groups.
It’s also important to note that we have been hearing about this forever.
That tends to happen you constantly predict the end of the world and nothing happens. https://t.co/z7WFa74dGH

This is what happens when Democrats use doomsday warnings of climate change as a political organizing tool and cry wolf too many election cycles in a row.
Eventually when the world *didn’t end* in 12 years, people were going to tune out. https://t.co/sSTbjqh98r

People are more worried about the border and the economy. It’s only natural.

During a recent segment on Jake Tapper’s CNN show, the network’s favorite ‘fact checker’ Daniel Dale, defended George Soros from claims that he has helped to fund the campus protests and that he helped Alvin Bragg and other prosecutors to get elected.
According to Dale, Soros is a ‘frequent target of antisemitic conspiracy theories.’
This is typical of the left. They won’t stand up for Jewish students being harassed on college campuses, but any criticism of George Soros is met with accusations of antisemitism.
NewsBusters provides a transcript:
JAKE TAPPER: Let’s bring in CNN’s Daniel Dale, who fact-checks what we just heard from Donald Trump. He started off criticizing the case, what happened on the case. Daniel, then he turned to protests on college campuses, then he turned to inflation then back to the case. What’s — what caught your notice?
DANIEL DALE: There was a lot there. Some of it was subjective opinion. I won’t try to fact-check, but a few things to fact check. One, he claimed again that he’s leading in all the polls. No, he’s slightly leading in national polling averages, but he’s trailing in a good number of polls, especially those that have come out in the last week or so. There are at least a few.
He refers frequently to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor behind this case, as a Soros-backed district attorney. Now, I’d say there’s some arguable basis for that, but I think it’s important to clarify the facts.
So, Mr. Soros, who’s a liberal billionaire philanthropist, also a frequent target of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, did not make any direct contributions to Mr. Bragg’s election campaign.
Here’s the video:

CNN is such a joke. Even their ‘fact checks’ are biased.
