President Joe Biden gave Australia's new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese permission to nod off during Tuesday's Quad summit in Tokyo. 'If you fall asleep while you're here, it's OK,' Biden said. 'I don't know how you're doing it.'On Saturday, Albanese won Australia's general election over incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison. He was sworn-in Monday and jumped on the flight to Japan several hours later for the meeting with the leaders of the U.S., India and Japan. 'Prime Minister Albanese, I welcome you to your first Quad meeting,' Biden said. 'He got sworn-in, got on a plane,' adding how difficult that was coming directly off the campaign trail.
Former President Bill Clinton defended Joe Biden's dismal poll ratings on Monday, insisting his successor in the White House was motivated less by popularity than getting the job done.The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, an immigration crisis and spiraling inflation have sent Biden's approval ratings into freefall.
The result is a Democratic Party fearing the worst in November's midterm elections.
But Clinton offered a rosier view, claiming the president ad delivered on his campaign promise to turn the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic and restore the U.S. to its rightful place in the world.
Legendary conservative actor Jon Voight wears his patriotism, his love for America and his Christian faith on his sleeve, and as a loyal supporter of former President Donald J. Trump, he continues to provide hope for a better future as an alternative to the darkness of the present.The award-winning performer whose career has spanned six decades took to Twitter on Saturday to deliver a cryptic message that could be interpreted as referring to the pandemic years including words about the historic Republican president who was denied a second term, saying that Trump “was told that he could not sit in that chair” without further elaboration.
Washington DC Archbishop Wilton Gregory released a statement in 2020 during the deadly BLM-Antifa riots attacking President Donald Trump for visiting the John Paul II National Shrine.The DC Archbishop Gregory lectured President Trump on “defending the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree” while at the same time attacking him for visiting a Catholic Shrine. This was during the BLM rioting that caused $2 billion in damages to property nationally and numerous deaths.
President Joe Biden began the last day of his trip to Asia with yet another stark warning about Russian President Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine – calling it a 'dark hour' and condemning Putin's effort to 'extinguish' Ukrainian culture. 'We're navigating the Dark Hour in our shared history,' Biden said at the top of the meeting between the four regional powers, which include the U.S., Japan, Australia, and India.'The Russian brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe and innocent civilians are killed in the streets and millions of refugees are alternatively displaced as well as exiled,' Biden said.
Multiple staffers are unhappy with CNN host Jake Tapper for staying in studio to tape his weekday show directly after testing positive for Covid-19. Tapper, 53, got his positive test at the network's Washington bureau on Monday, May 9, just ahead of his usual show at 4 p.m. At least two staffers told The Daily Beast he angered colleagues by not going home immediately. 'This happened in the same week that the country was mourning the millionth death due to COVID, which Jake covered on his show,' one staffer said.
A Disney World vacation was once seen as the tradition getaway for the American middle class family, but it is increasingly slipping out of reach.Over the past few years, the prices of tickets for the amusement park have skyrocketed as executives continue to raise the price of food and begin catering to higher-paying clientele. To make matters worse, Disney executives are eliminate cost-saving features at the theme parks, like a free shuttle from the airport and free parking for those staying on the premises.It has also done away with a free option to help people skip the ever-growing lines at certain rides - replacing it instead with a pay service.
More deep thoughts from Kamala Harris. Vice President told an audience this week, “When we talk about the children of the community, they are children of the community.” And she gets excited when she says it. What a clown show. And to think once Joe Biden finally takes a mental health exam she’s going to be named president! (Tweet/Video)
Who is former hedge fund CEO David McCormick?A recent fundraiser sponsor in New York for David McCormick was the founder of a consulting firm representing the controversial Dominion Voting Systems. McCormick also made big bucks lobbying for Communist China. McCormick moved back to Pennsylvania to run in the GOP Senate race after Sean Parnell dropped from the race.President Trump had this to say about McCormick at a recent rally in Pennsylvania.
A friend told me yesterday he voted for Biden because he was tired of Trump’s “drama.” He said he “didn’t vote for Jared Kushner or Ivanka” and didn’t like them “hanging around” the White House.
“Right message, wrong guy,” he said of Trump.
My buddy considers himself a “non-Trumping, Democrat-hating conservative.” I guess his “non-Trumping” bias trumped (heh-heh) his hatred of Democrats.
He claimed he had “no idea things would get this bad under Biden.”
My friend also doesn’t like the far-left judge in the Bronx who has a habit of releasing violent criminals from jail. He lives nearby.
“She’s causing a one-woman crime wave,” my friend lamented.
There is “no way” Florida will ever support the World Health Organization’s (W.H.O.) global pandemic treaty, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Monday.
“We in Florida, there is no way we will ever support this W.H.O. thing … that’s not going to happen. No way,” DeSantis said during a press conference in Cape Coral, Florida.
“But you saw, I mean, you saw a lot of these elites advocate very pernicious policies,” he added, noting that “part of the reason people want to move here is because we rejected those policies, but they advocated very pernicious policies, including locking kids out of school.”
ESPN continues to lose subscribers at an advanced rate, losing another ten percent in fiscal 2021 which amounts to a loss of eight million subscribers since 2020.
Disney notes in its annual report that Nielsen numbers show the network counted well over 100 million subscribers ten years ago. But with its latest report, ESPN finds the network only counts 76 million today, according to DEADLINE.
Further, ESPN counted 84 million subscribers at the end of fiscal 2020. But in its latest report, the cable network only counts 76 million now.
Former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has a new book coming out called, “Here’s the Deal: A Memoir,” which purportedly blasts former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, calling him “shrewd and calculating” while asserting that he had an unassailable position of power.“Conway reserves some of her harshest criticism for Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s husband and a Trump senior adviser, whom she describes as ‘shrewd and calculating’; ‘a man of knowing nods, quizzical looks, and sidebar inquiries’; and someone who, as the president’s son-in-law, knew that ‘no matter how disastrous a personnel change or legislative attempt may be, he was unlikely to be held accountable for it,'” The Washington Post reported.
I’d say “I called it” but it wasn’t exactly a mystery as to why Dave Chappelle was attacked while he was on stage.
As you’ll likely recall, in early May, a man ran on stage and attacked Chappelle with a knife inside a fake gun. Chappelle was no worse for the wear, but the man came out bloodied, battered, bruised, and with his arm at an interesting angle. At the time, it was not confirmed as to why the man attacked Chappelle but everyone had an educated guess as to why. Many speculated it had everything to do with Chappelle’s comedy specials upsetting the transgender community and that the man
It's no secret that Wyoming is a heavily Republican state and the candidate filings for the 2022 primary election with the Wyoming Secretary of State's office don't do anything to dispel that image. (Snip) Of the five statewide elected offices, all of which are on the ballot this year, only one Democrat has formally filed. Sergio Maldonado of Lander has filed to run as a Democrat for state Superintendent of Public Instruction. The other statewide offices--governor, treasurer, secretary of state, and state auditor--all officially have at least one GOP candidate, and three Republicans have filed for State Superintendent.

WASHINGTON — FBI agents probing since-debunked claims of a secret back channel between Donald Trump and a Russian bank believed that the allegations had originated with the Department of Justice — when in fact they came from Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, who had shopped them to the bureau’s then-general counsel days earlier.In the latest revelation to emerge from Sussmann’s trial in DC federal court on a count of lying to the FBI, special counsel John Durham’s prosecutors revealed that investigators had received an electronic communication citing a referral from the DOJ “on or about” Sept. 19, 2016, the same day Sussmann met with James Baker,

Governor Greg Abbott said Monday that Texas has been forced to 'fight' against the Biden administration regarding border security and said he wants to flood Washington, D.C. with 450 buses of migrants so the nations' capital can experience what his state's communities are facing. The governor, speaking at a press conference in Eagle Pass, Texas on Monday afternoon, said that the cities and towns in his state are seeing 'illegal migrants dumped off in their communities' by the busloads every day. 'They had no capability of dealing with them,' Abbott told the press gathered in Eagle Pass City Hall. 'And they talked about having to put them on buses and
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly received communion during a Sunday mass despite her archbishop banning her from the practice, Politico Playbook reported Monday.
Pelosi reportedly took Holy Communion at the 9 a.m. mass at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown, according to Politico Playbook.

“Everyone is welcome,” he said.
We’re back for week two of special counsel John Durham’s prosecution of Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI. Week one’s revelations included the fact that Hillary Clinton officially gave the green light to the disinformation attack on Donald Trump and his “connection” to Russia, according to her former campaign manager, Robby Mook. Our suspicion was finally confirmed in this scandalous game of Clue that cost the American taxpayers $40 million, wasted the time of 40 FBI agents, dragged Americans before federal agents to explain themselves, and involved untold hours of spying on U.S. citizens. And that was just special counsel Bob Mueller’s part in it.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is meeting today in Davos, Switzerland trying to decide our future. They think.
I’ve written about these characters on the Great Reset and how Joe Biden stole his “Build Back Better” saying from Boris John and the WEF. Here’s Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talking about that opportunity in 2020. Then there was how they talked about how “lockdowns are quietly improving cities around the world.” Imagine anyone thinking that’s a good thing — but it is to these guys because they don’t care about human liberty.
On Monday morning, as Streiff reported, an organization called Consumers First published information regarding a partnership between State Farm and The GenderCool Project to “have ‘550 agents and employees’ nationwide donate a 3-book bundle about Being Transgender, Inclusive and Non-Binary to their ‘local teacher, community center or library of their choice.'” (snip) Understandably, the news upset many of State Farm’s customers, and they made their feelings known. The insurance giant has now ended their partnership with The GenderCool Project
Nina Jankowicz, the self-proclaimed “Mary Poppins of Disinformation” who was up until recently supposed to become the chief of Joe Biden’s Orwellian and ominous Disinformation Governance Board, can’t seem to stop herself from stepping on rakes. She has complained, now that the Board has been “paused,” that the Board itself was a victim of “disinformation,” which casts into question how effective it could possibly have ever been, if Jankowicz couldn’t even manage to counter false statements about what it was supposed to be doing. On Monday, she made matters even worse by remarking off-handedly that the Board was meant to do something that Homeland
Former Vice President Mike Pence appears to not rule out a presidential bid in 2024 in what will become a sizable Republican primary, even if his former ticket mate, former President Donald Trump, is also running, according to a report.Before a speech Pence gave last month in Iowa, he told the New York Times that he would not rule out entering the 2024 presidential race even if Trump enters the race as well. Pence added that he and his wife, Karen Pence, would act on prayer, stating, “We’ll go where we’re called. … That’s the way Karen and I have always approached these things.”Pence also told the Times
Princeton University’s Board of Trustees fired Classics professor Joshua Katz, the university said in a Monday statement, claiming that the longtime faculty member “failed to be straightforward” during a 2018 investigation into a relationship between Katz and an undergraduate student.
Katz told National Review that he learned that he’d been fired only after the New York Times called his wife, and said the university sent his notice of termination to the wrong email address. The Washington Free Beacon first reported that Princeton was planning to fire Katz.
Katz was briefly suspended from the university in 2018 over the consensual relationship with a student
Emily Compagno sounded off on special counsel Robert Mueller following the bombshell testimony from former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. The "Outnumbered" co-host said Monday it is "absolutely unacceptable" that Mueller's report didn't mention Hillary Clinton approved of leaking the Trump-Russia allegations to the media, given the extensive resources for Mueller's investigation.EMILY COMPAGNO: They used 19 special prosecutors, more than 40 FBI agents. We footed that entire bill. They produced three separate reports that basically said, 'well, we can't prove a connection between Trump and Russia, but we can't disprove it.' All it would have taken is five minutes spent in a room with this guy
On Friday, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone penned a notice telling Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that, because of her pro-choice stance, she will not be permitted to take receive Holy Communion. Well, this absolutely triggered the pro-baby killing coven on ABC’s The View. And during their Monday show, they accused the Archbishop of somehow violating the separation of church and state by carrying out punishment against a member of the church for violating their beliefs.
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney warned that Donald Trump is a threat to the United States the likes of which 'we have never faced before' in a Sunday evening speech. Wyoming's lone House Representative was among the recipients for this year's John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awards.Her acceptance speech drew parallels between the Civil War and last year's US Capitol attack in the pivotal tests they presented for the country's democratic institutions. Cheney discussed the historic importance of a peaceful transfer of power - which she said 'has been honored by every American president, except one' -
Rising fuel prices motivated California gun owners to give 134 firearms to the Sacramento Police Department in exchange for $50 gas cards, the department reported Sunday. A statement posted on the department’s Facebook page said the Gas for Guns Buyback program ran out of gift cards 45 minutes into Saturday’s five-hour event.
“Among the firearms received was at least one assault weapon, numerous components for privately manufactured firearms (ghost guns), and multiple other illegally configured firearms,” the statement read. California has among the highest gas prices in the nation. According to Gas Buddy, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in California on Monday morning was $6.051,

Former President Donald Trump released a new ad on Truth Social targeting Hillary Clinton after her former campaign manager testified the former presidential candidate personally OK’d the spread of false information. The ad opens with a clip of Clinton speaking during the 2016 presidential debate. “It is awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Clinton had said.

Out of touch as ever, President Biden celebrated record-high gas prices Monday, gushing that the pump pain was part of “an incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels. “[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.The president then insisted that his administration’s actions, rather than increasing the price of gas, had actually been able to “keep it

Violence spread across the Northeast over the weekend with cities reporting dozens of shootings and homicides, as temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit during a record-setting May heatwave.In New York City, police responded to at least nine shootings that left three men dead and a 17-year-old girl injured after she was shot in the face at a Bronx party.The city's subway system was rocked by yet another deadly, seemingly random attack following a mass shooting in a subway car in April that left 10 people with gunshot wounds and another 19 injured.In Philadelphia, meanwhile, detectives are investigating at least 18 shootings, six homicides and eight stabbings since Saturday morning.
A bomb threat closed all schools in a Wisconsin school district Monday, days after three middle schoolers found themselves under investigation for refusing to address their non-binary classmate by their preferred pronouns.Kiel Middle School received the threat during school hours, at roughly 12:45 pm, shortly after police announced they were working to investigate 'threatening communications' toward district staff regarding the sexual harassment probe.The students, all aged 13 and all enrolled at Kiel Middle, were all hit with a formal complaint earlier this month, for referring to the unnamed student as 'she' or 'her,' rather than 'they' or 'them.'
Elon Musk has suggested he wants to slash his initial $44 billion takeover bid for social media platform Twitter after accounting for the proportion of bots present on the microblogging site.
“I’m worried that Twitter has a disincentive to reduce spam, as it reduces perceived daily users,” Musk said in a series of tweets on May 21. “They still refuse to explain how they calculate that 5% of daily users are fake/spam! Very suspicious.”
When someone on Twitter pointed out that if 25 percent of users on Twitter are bots, then the acquisition deal should cost 25 percent less, Musk responded, “Absolutely.”

Black Lives Matter donated $200,000 to a Chicago-based advocacy group “founded by and for post-incarcerated people” whose executive director has derided cops as “pigs” and “bastards” while calling for police to be defunded, tax documents show. The group, Equality and Transformation, was established in 2018 with an aim to “uplift the voices and power” of black Chicagoans and to build “social and economic equity” for workers while “dismantling anti-Black” racism, according to its website. But it’s founder and executive director, Richard Wallace, has persistently attacked police officers—calling them “pigs” on Twitter, claiming it’s “time to defund these bastards” and noting his approval of a poll

First of all, via InstaPundit, the tweet of the day: [Tweet] Predictably, the mass shooting in Buffalo has precipitated another round of gun control hysteria. What gun control? Who cares? The specifics are unimportant.
You likely have read in the press that the United States has an unparalleled number of mass shootings due to our “lax” gun control laws. Such assertions are rarely challenged, but in fact they are untrue. I haven’t seen more recent numbers, but I am sure little has changed since this 2019 post. On a per capita basis, our mass shooting rate is quite low. Quoting John Lott and Michael Weisser:
The long knives are out for Fox News Channel and also Rupert Murdoch and his family. Again. The cable news network with the highest ratings regularly comes under attack by those who work for other networks and their guests. Something odd is going on lately, though. Two men in particular have leveled wildly dramatic claims against FNC hosts like Tucker Carlson and suggested draconian punishments like jail time or even deportation for the Murdoch family.

ATLANTA — Standing at the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church, the spiritual home of Martin Luther King Jr., the Rev. Raphael Warnock led a sermon on the last Sunday before Georgia’s Tuesday primaries that was about “getting to where you need to go” — and navigating the challenges ahead.
“Rise up and transform every opposition, every obstacle, into an opportunity,” Mr. Warnock urged. He was not explicitly talking about his other job as a United States senator, or the fact that he is one of the most endangered Democrats in the country in 2022, or the headwinds confronting his party. But he might as well have been.
Netflix telling its woke employees that if they really don’t like what the company is doing they should find work elsewhere was a sign that the streaming service was leaving behind a lot of its woke past and embracing a far less politically leftist bent. As many speculated, it was also a portent of things to come. First, the company decided to cancel a number of its woke programs, especially those aimed at children. Now, it seems that the memo Netflix sent out wasn’t just for a bunch of shows coming out, it was about one in particular
It was widely believed that Trump was going to cruise to re-election in early 2020. The economy was roaring, and the Democrats’ absurd efforts to impeach him failed to kill his momentum. But when the pandemic hit, there were massive changes to election laws, many of which were done illegally, and many say the changes made our elections more susceptible to fraud.
However, the pandemic is essentially over now, and Democrats are heading into the 2022 midterms in a terribly weak position.
Carl Cameron, the once inept reporter on Fox News, wants to put his former Fox colleagues — Tucker too — in jail. He’s on MSNBC now blathering some very poisonous and dishonest rhetoric. The failed reporter is also on other progressive sites because he has a message – every Republican is a Nazi. It’s dark and not true. Imagine thinking half the country is a Nazi? Or does he think it?
Joe Biden should be “taking some names and putting people in jail” over the right-wing’s great replacement theory, says Cameron.

I don’t think I have to be the one to tell anyone reading this the news — as you are probably already well aware — but things aren’t going well under the Biden administration. In a sentence I’ve typed way too often over the last year, inflation continues to sit at astronomical levels, gas prices keep increasing, and the border is in shambles.

A leading adviser to the World Health Organization described the unprecedented outbreak of the rare disease monkeypox in developed countries as "a random event" that might be explained by risky sexual behavior at two recent mass events in Europe. In an interview with The Associated Press, Dr. David Heymann, who formerly headed WHO's emergencies department, said the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission among gay and bisexual men at two raves held in Spain and Belgium. Monkeypox has not previously triggered widespread outbreaks beyond Africa, where it is endemic in animals. "We know monkeypox

Millions of Americans rely on the federal government to cover the cost of college. Education loans have existed for generations, but borrowing only really took off in the past two decades.
Soaring college costs, higher enrollment, changes to the federal lending system, labor market demand for credentials and paltry wage growth have all contributed to the $1.6 trillion in outstanding federal student debt. This does not include debt originated in the private market.

The world population checks in at just a little under 7.9 billion people. Of that number, Europe has identified 100 cases of monkeypox and the United States has identified...two cases (out of a population of roughly 330 million people). Nevertheless, Joe Biden is already hard at work ratcheting up the fear.

British and European Union universities and academics have collaborated on thousands of joint projects with institutions tied to the military of Communist China, an investigation has claimed.
A collaborative investigation between 11 European newsrooms, the Dutch investigative outlet Follow the Money, and German nonprofit CORRECTIV has identified nearly 3,000 scientific publications that were produced by European Union universities and military-tied institutions in China.
According to a report from the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle — one of the news outlets involved in the investigation — the scientific projects included research on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, and drone technology.
In 2019, Pete Townshend, the guitarist and chief songwriter of The Who, released one of his periodic works of fiction, The Age of Anxiety. That title would have worked equally well for his new Audible audiobook, Somebody Saved Me. With a running time of two hours and one minute, the book covers the era of Townshend’s life from 1977 to 2002. Those years are bracketed by the death, in 1978, of the band’s legendary hellraising drummer Keith Moon, and 2002, when their bassist, John Entwistle died. (Cutting his audio book off in 2002 also avoids having to rehash the unpleasantness that would follow Townshend for years soon after.)
Impeach Hillary Clinton In 2023
replies
When it looked as if Democrats last year were going to try to impeach the already-impeached Donald Trump again after he left the White House, the Congressional Research Service said: “It appears that most scholars who have closely examined the question have concluded that Congress has authority to extend the impeachment process to officials who are no longer in office.” If so, should the Republicans take Congress as expected, they ought to impeach Hillary Clinton.
During the entire four-year Trump presidency, the American people were deluged with fake “Russia, Russia Russia” news.
Since the Democrats gained control of Congress in January of 2021, they have squandered their tenuous grip on power by engaging in profligate spending, performative investigations and abortive attempts to federalize state elections. The resultant paucity of legislative achievements, combined with a long list of Biden administration blunders, has given the GOP a realistic chance to win majorities in the House and Senate this November. Inevitably, this means “Republican racism” will be a central theme of the Democratic midterm campaign. Indeed, they have already crafted a narrative to explain the GOP’s alleged affinity for white supremacy — the “great replacement” theory.
