First baseball, now golf. Joe Biden delivered remarks from the White House on Tuesday and encouraged Americans to continue to cower in fear over a virus with a 99.98% survival rate. Joe Biden was asked by a reporter if he supports moving the Masters Tournament out of Georgia after the MLB decided move its All-Star game from Atlanta to Denver. “That’s up to the Masters,” said Biden before he nudged corporations to bludgeon American citizens based on debunked claims about Georgia’s election laws. “It’s reassuring to see that for-profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new Jim Crow laws are just antithetical to who we are,”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki rejected Republican claims that Colorado has similar voting laws to Georgia after the state's GOP Gov. Brian Kemp said it made 'no sense' to move Major League Baseball's All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver. 'Well, let me just refute the first point you made. First let me say on Colorado - Colorado allows you to register on Election Day, Colorado has voting-by-mail where they send to 100 per cent in the state who are eligible,' Psaki said at Tuesday's press briefing, when a reporter called the voting regulations 'very similar.' Kemp and other GOP officials pointed out that Colorado
An ‘anti-racist’ group calling itself ‘White Lies Matter’ stole a $500,000 stone chair dedicated to Confederate leader Jefferson Davis and claims it will use the monument as a 'toilet' unless a Confederate women's group hangs a banner outside its headquarters bearing the words of a black militant who killed a state trooper. The Jefferson Davis Memorial Chair was first noticed missing on March 19 after it was taken from the Old Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, Alabama.(Snip) The women's group has said memorial statues and monuments are 'shared American history' and should remain in place. It hasn't issued a response
Caitlyn Jenner is 'actively exploring' a run for governor of the state of California, according to Axios. The 71-year-old Olympic athlete turned reality television star has reportedly sought out political consultants and is being assisted in her consideration by Caroline Wren. Jenner, who starred on Keeping Up With The Kardashians decades after becoming a gold medal-winning decathlete, is a high-profile Republican and previously supported 45th President Donald Trump.(Photo) Jenner's manager, Sophia Hutchins, previously shot down reports of Caitlyn's interest in a gubernatorial run.
Desk clerks are poised to become the latest coronavirus casualty at some Marriott hotels.
The world’s biggest hotel chain said it is testing automated kiosks equipped with touch screens that can check in guests and spit out room keys, as well as giant vending machines it calls “grab-and-go marketplaces” that can dispense everything from coffee to breakfast sandwiches and cereal.(Snip)Marriott said the so-called “contactless arrival kiosks” are meant to ease customers’ fears about getting COVID-19 by interacting with hotel staff. As such, they are equipped with “antimicrobial technology baked into the touchscreen glass, powered by UV light to kill bacteria and viruses,” Marriott said in a Monday press release.

Tells Paper replies
ROME—There is a link between AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine and very rare blood clots in the brain but the possible causes are still unknown, a senior official for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said in an interview published on Tuesday.
“In my opinion, we can now say it, it is clear that there is an association with the vaccine. However, we still do not know what causes this reaction,” Marco Cavaleri, chair of the vaccine evaluation team at the EMA, told Italian daily Il Messaggero when asked about the possible relation between the AstraZeneca shot and cases of brain blood clots.
The Frederick County police on Tuesday afternoon identified the man who shot two people at a tech park in Frederick, Maryland, Tuesday morning before being shot and killed at nearby Fort Detrick.
Police Chief Jason Lando identified the shooter as E-4 Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, 38, who lived in Frederick but not on the base. He added that the two who were wounded were also members of the Navy stationed at Fort Detrick.
The shooting was reported at about 8:30 a.m. in the Riverside Tech Park, on Progress Drive not far from Monocacy Boulevard. Lando added that the shooting happened in “the military institution

Lando said Woldesenbet used a rifle during the shooting, but he did not identify the type of rifle or caliber used.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called “gaps” in the current barrier.
In a conversation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while President Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing some “gaps in the wall.”
Mr. Mayorkas, according to notes of the ICE session reviewed by The Washington Times, said Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the wall, has submitted a plan for what it wants
The White House clarified Tuesday that one study projects that President Biden’s $2.25 trillion infrastructure package will create roughly 2.7 million jobs—not the 19 million jobs administration officials had touted over the weekend. White House press secretary Jen Psaki cited a study from Moody’s that projects the U.S. economy will add 19 million jobs over the next decade if Congress passes Mr. Biden’s plan and about 16.3 million jobs if Congress doesn’t pass it. “So that is what the impact would be of the American Jobs Plan—2.7 million, to be totally clear,” Ms. Psaki said. “It is important to be clear and to be specific

MINNEAPOLIS — A seventh day of testimony has begun in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, but the jurors were not present when attorneys made their arguments Tuesday about whether a witness to George Floyd's arrest should be compelled to testify. (Snip) In Tuesday's hearing out of the view of the jury, Hall appeared via video hookup and explained through his attorney that he would be exposed to a potential third-degree murder charge and other possible felony counts should he be forced to answer questions in Chauvin's trial. Cousins said her client "has been provided no immunity, no protection for his testimony
Joe Biden is considering restarting construction on Donald Trump's southern border wall as his administration continues to grapple with a growing immigration crisis including record numbers of illegal crossers.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told employees, according to the Washington Times, that construction might resume to plug 'gaps' in the current barrier between the U.S. and Mexico.
The move comes as Biden made a big spectacle on Day One of his administration by issuing an executive order freezing Department of Defense funding for border wall construction.
President Biden, a Roman Catholic, did not mention Jesus or Christ a single time in his Easter remarks on Monday. The nation celebrated Easter Sunday this past weekend, a time around America where Christians – such as Biden – celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Traditionally, the president gives an Easter address on that Sunday to commemorate the holiday and Jesus. Biden’s most recent predecessors, former President Barack Obama and former President Donald Trump, had each mentioned Jesus Christ in their messages. Biden, however, broke this streak on Sunday in his remarks from the White House Blue Room balcony. CORRECTION*
Texas Gov. Abbott on why he declined

MLB pushed 'false narrative' replies
to throw first pitch at home opener:
MLB pushed 'false narrative' replies
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said on "America's Newsroom" Tuesday that he did not throw the first pitch at the Texas Rangers' home opener because the Major Baseball League engaged in political malpractice by pushing a false narrative about the Georgia election reform. GREG ABBOTT: I could not associate myself with Major League Baseball, that had gone out and done something that was absolutely ridiculous. It was taking positions with regard to these voter and election laws in the state of Georgia, where clearly Major League Baseball had not read or not studied it and did not know what those laws provided. The MLB was basically boycotting the state of Georgia,
Major League Baseball officials are mulling relocating the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Coors Field in Denver, though Colorado has the same voter ID requirement and fewer early voting days than Georgia. Several outlets reported the development Monday, noting that the Colorado Rockies would be hosting the annual game on July 13 instead of the Atlanta Braves. The league moved the game out of Georgia following an outcry by Democrats, corporations headquartered in Atlanta, and left-wing pundits that a new voter reform law unfairly targeted minorities.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said during Tuesday’s press conference that President Joe Biden speaks to former President Barack Obama and that the administration will not disclose what they talk about despite the administration saying that it will be transparent.“Has President Biden spoken to President Obama about how to pass the infrastructure bill?” a reporter asked. “Has President Obama given him any advice on how to pass that bill?”“They speak regularly,” Psaki responded. “They of course, were president and vice president, but they are also friends and they share a bond of serving

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed. Hastings, who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84. Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the rules committee. He had also been Florida’s first Black federal trial judge, appointed to the bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. (Snip) Democrats now hold a narrower advantage in the House, 218-211, giving the party a smaller margin of error in passing legislation. Six seats are vacant, four of which
Once again the Democrats are off to the racists. Every time they can’t explain their position on some public policy issue, they accuse Republicans and conservatives of being racist.
Look no further than the state of Georgia.
Almost two weeks ago, Gov. Brian Kemp signed SB 202 into law. It was an election reform bill that Democrats effectively branded as “racist,” “voter suppression” and “anti-civil rights.”The law expands early voting for primary and general elections, includes more voting on Saturdays and Sundays, and requires voter ID.
Only in the world of radical liberalism can more of an opportunity to do something be “suppression”; requiring one to prove
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday there is no significant risk of catching the coronavirus from a surface or object.
The CDC clarified its position in a guidance update that said people generally contract COVID-19 through direct contact with a sick person or from airborne transmission.
“It is possible for people to be infected through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects (fomites), but the risk is generally considered to be low,” the revised guidance states.The official revision was made nearly a year after the agency noted last May that COVID-19 “does not spread easily” through touching surfaces or objects.
It’s been four weeks since I received my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, but very little has changed for me. I’m still living in pandemic mode. (Snip) Let’s just hope people are willing to get the vaccines once they are more accessible. If they don’t, we’re doomed.
There’s a chance that the normal we once knew no longer exists. That doesn’t mean we won’t regain most of the freedoms we lost over the past year. It just means we’ll have to be extra careful far longer than we’d like.
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering resuming construction of the border wall after having halted construction in late January, a report claims.
An exclusive report from Washington Times reporter Stephen Dinan suggests that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is considering restarting border wall construction to fill in “gaps” that exist after former President Trump’s administration constructed 450 miles from 2017 to 2020. [Snip] Former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Director Mark Morgan said Biden’s halt to construction has killed about 5,000 construction jobs as well as other jobs in the steel, concrete, and technology industries.
Stacey Abrams to blame for costing

Georgia $100 million in lost All-Star
Game revenue: Rand Paul replies
Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has urged people not to boycott Georgia, but Sen. Rand Paul says she and other Democrats are squarely to blame for Major League Baseball’s decision to pull the All-Star Game out of Atlanta. The founder of Fair Fight, Ms. Abrams led the charge against Senate Bill 202, the Georgia election law that requires identification for absentee ballots, expands early voting and bans electioneering within 150 feet of polling entrances, calling it “Jim Crow 2.0.” “There’s all these people who are woke, but now even the woke like Stacey Abrams, are starting to see, oh, no what have I unleashed?
60 Minutes, a long-disgraced news magazine that airs on far-left CBS, launched a political assassination attempt against Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Sunday night. By Monday afternoon, this shamelessly dishonest hoax and conspiracy theory had collapsed into a steaming pile of fake news.
According to the long-disgraced 60 Minutes, DeSantis accepted a $100,000 political donation from Publix supermarkets and then awarded Publix with a vaccine contract. In other words: pay-for-play.Here’s how the hoax fell apart….
