Following the announcement of his "Disinformation Governance Board," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas found himself scrambling to spin the hideous new speech enforcer, claiming it was not as Orwellian as any normal person would think.
Speaking with Fox News, Sunday he told Bret Baier:
"This is a working group that takes best practices to make sure that, in addressing disinformation that presents a threat to the homeland, our work does not infringe on free speech, does not infringe on civil rights, civil liberties," he continued. "It's not about speech, it's about the connectivity to violence. That is what we need to address. You know, an individual has the free speech

In a sign that Ukraine's just war for survival against Russian attack is growing more partisan-politicized and subject to domestic U.S. politics, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has turned up in Kyiv, along with six other extemely rabid leftist Democrats. The junketeers met with Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky, who welcomed them warmly, as he always does with assorted political pilgrims these days.
According to the Daily Mail:
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has led a congressional delegation to Kyiv to meet with Ukraine's president before heading to Poland for talks with officials there on Sunday.

Now that the wokesters have taken over universities and school administrators now outnumber professors, how's life in academia these days? How are things now that diversity staff outnumber history professors?
The Daily Caller has a report:
Over half of the U.S.’s private and public colleges encourage students to snitch on each other, according to a report released Monday by a free speech non-profit.
Of the 821 higher education institutions surveyed, 56% of them are reported to have some form of a “Bias Reporting System” (BRS), according to the report from Speech First (SF), a free speech member organization. The report surveyed 441 private schools, or 23% of all private four year colleges

This week, we've been introduced to a new breed of an old Stasi standby now in the United States: the intrusive political censor.
Once the province of crummy, furtive, little gray-faced men, as depicted in "The Lives of Others," these modern day censors are now out and open as big social media stars, not even trying to hide their claims to being our political masters.
While Elon Musk, was decrying the censorship activities of Twitter's top corporate attorney Vijaya Gadde, and the latter famously bawled about her company's new owner, Joe Biden's secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, was introducing us to think tank regular Nina Jankowicz who made a bizarre

Joe Biden is in trouble. His Democrats are collapsing at the polls based on his disastrous first term and now midterms are around the corner.
What's a failed president to do? Dole out the goodies, of course, some big ones in a desperate bid to win back younger leftist voters.
According to CBS News:
President Biden is looking at different options to forgive an unspecified but substantial amount of federal student loan debt — a move that would thrill some of his most loyal supporters and financially strapped students nationwide, but is a departure from campaign pledges to provide limited relief.
The president shared his plans during a 90-minute White House meeting Monday

How gross do you have to be to be involved with the pervy, pervy Lincoln Project?
The scandal-plagued NGO of ex-Republicans devoted to destroying President Trump has seen its share of sex scandals involving one of its founders, John Weaver, harassing and soliciting unwilling young men and at least one 14-year-old boy. But that's not their only scandal; there's a new one involving mysterious payouts for some sort of bad behavior, and these scandals aren't over.
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
The Lincoln Project shelled out another six-figure payment to a founding member of the super PAC who accused the organization of ignoring allegations of sexual misconduct within its ranks.

Six decades into her modeling career, Lauren Hutton is still as stunning as ever.
The 78-year-old style star covers Harper’s Bazaar’s May 2022 Beauty Issue, posing topless with an open Gucci blazer draped over her shoulders and her hands crossed over her chest.
In an accompanying essay, the gap-toothed beauty opens up about her experience in the fashion industry, the dangers of overzealous plastic surgery and her simple skincare regimen.
Upon moving to New York in the 1960s to jump-start her career, Hutton said she “got a job modeling for Christian Dior for $50 a week,”

It's not a very well kept secret that Jill Biden can't stand Kamala Harris, but now we are getting some additional particulars.
According to Fox News:
First lady Jill Biden expressed frustration that Kamala Harris was the top choice for vice president, according to an upcoming book from two New York Times reporters.
An excerpt provided to Fox News from Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns' forthcoming book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," describes the vice presidential nomination process during Joe Biden's 2020 campaign.
Jill made this raging comment that ended up in the book:

With a red wave coming, desperate Democrats are now embracing the politics of Hugo Chavez.
And Iran's mullahs. And Vlad Putin.
Instead of running for office, and trying to persuade voters that their ideas are the best ones, which would involve defending their execrable record in power, they're opting to go the dictator's way, by trying to disqualify opponents from office.
Never mind what the voters think.
Which brings us to the outrageous show trial of pro-Trump Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to NPR's account:
Controversial Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Friday defended her comments ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol

Is Joe Biden, or whoever is handling him today, aware of his latest "optics"?
Get a load of what he's been up to:
President Joe Biden stopped in Portland for a few hours Thursday afternoon to drum up excitement for his administration's trillion-dollar effort to revamp the nation's roads, bridges, airports and railways.
Biden's speech was part pep talk, part explainer.
"Oregon and America have gone from being on the mend to being on the move," Biden said. "We just gotta get the hell out of our own way."

Do senile dogs learn new tricks? Or is Joe Biden hearing from too many angry Democrats?
Sure enough, Joe Biden seems to recognize that he's strangling on his own border policies, and not for the first time. This time, though, he's looking for a way out.
According to a report in Axios, as reported by the Washington Examiner's Byron York:
There is word that President Joe Biden is looking for a way out of his decision to end Title 42, the Trump-era regulation that allows U.S. authorities to turn back illegal crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border on the grounds of protecting the country from COVID. Earlier this month,

Sri Lanka, an island nation of 22 million people, is in the grips of an economic meltdown. This slow-motion train wreck first began in November 2019 when Gotabaya Rajapaksa won a decisive victory in the country’s presidential elections. He immediately placed family members into key government positions and suspended Parliament. Then in August 2020, his Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna party — the Sri Lanka People’s Front — posted a landslide victory. The win gave Rajapaksa the ability to amend the country’s constitution, which he quickly availed himself of. In total control, President Rajapaksa and his brother Mahinda, the prime minister, went on a spending spree
