Taibbi: Media Ignoring Developments on
Hunter Laptop Letter Shows We’re Becoming

‘No Real News’

On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” journalist Matt Taibbi stated that the lack of mainstream media coverage of the “massive story of national consequence” of former acting CIA Director Michael Morell’s role in the letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian misinformation is an example of how “we’re starting to come to” the “same situation” as in the Soviet Union where “nobody read the newspapers because it was all lies and there was no real news in [them].” Taibbi said, “There [are] a couple of things about that that are remarkable: Number one, scan the pages of mainstream news coverage today, and you will not see

A Louisiana high school senior was awarded a staggering amount of scholarships and was accepted to at least 170 colleges he applied to with more acceptance letters rolling in every day.
Dennis Barnes hopes to break the current record for most scholarships ever awarded, which currently sits at $9.4 million. The 16-year-old senior has been offered more than $9 million in scholarships so far. “My goal is to reach $10 million,” Barnes told the local station WWL-TV, per The Daily Mail.
A pair of students from Michigan are taking legal action against their school district because they were not allowed to wear sweatshirts to class with the political phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” printed on them.
The middle school students claim that they have the right to protest against the President of the United States. However, the school district argues that the sweatshirts are indecent and that they have the authority to ban such material.
MANCHESTER, N.H. —
Former President Donald Trump is making a campaign stop in New Hampshire Thursday. He is set to speak at a campaign event at the DoubleTree Hotel in Manchester.
The event is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Doors open at 1 p.m. Anyone planning to attend will need a ticket.

The city of Manchester said there will be road closures and no-parking zones in the area starting at 8 a.m. Those restrictions will impact sections of Elm Street, Pleasant Street and Franklin Street. The bus stop in front of Veterans Park could be temporarily moved to Lake Avenue, near SNHU Arena.
The campaign for President Donald Trump has released a provocative digital ad evoking crises abroad and at the border as he attempts to make his return to the White House by highlighting the failures of President Joe Biden.
In the ad, images of Chinese President Xi Jinping, marching soldiers, and violent crimes flash while a narrator concludes, “This is Joe Biden’s America.” The clip then takes a positive turn, describing how only Trump’s return can make America great again – again.
WATCH:
The U.S. economy expanded at a sluggish 1.1 percent annual pace in the first three months of the year despite strong consumer spending.
Wall Street analysts had expected a two percent increase in gross domestic product after the economy grew 2.6 percent in the final three months of last year. Consumer spending remained very strong, rising 3.7 percent in the January through March period. The weakness came from business investment and inventories, perhaps suggesting that businesses expected a weaker level of consumer spending.
Last night, just after 8 PM ET, when Tucker Carlson’s FOX News show would normally be airing, Tucker released a video on Twitter that has gone completely viral.
As of midnight last night, the video had been viewed almost 10 million times.
Here it is, in case you missed it: (Tweet/Video) The video is great, but we decided to dig down in the responses to the tweet. There are some truly funny memes in the replies, all of them from Tucker supporters.
Here are the best ones:
The four House Republicans who voted against GOP leadership’s debt ceiling plan are speaking out about why they oppose the bill touted by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as the United States faces the possibility of an unprecedented default on its obligations this summer.
Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Tim Burchett (R-TN), and Ken Buck (R-CO) joined the vast majority of Democrats in opposing the legislation that would suspend the debt limit until it rises by $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024 — whichever comes first — in exchange for a host of spending cuts.
Marines were pictured at the U.S. Embassy folding the national flag in Sudan's war-torn capital before 100 elite troops evacuated diplomatic staff.
The images show the flag being lowered by the Marine Security Guard Detachment at a flag-folding ceremony.
The U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Sudan, John T. Godfrey, oversaw the proceedings. The United States and African nations were racing to secure an extension of a ceasefire in Sudan on Thursday, with 16,000 American citizens still trapped in the country and two U.S. deaths resulting from the conflict, which started 12 days ago.
Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira is a flight risk who 'must remain detained', federal prosecutors have argued ahead of his appearance in federal court in Massachusetts on Thursday.
Teixeira is due to appear for a detention hearing, charged with the unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information and willful retention of classified documents after allegedly sharing military docs in a chat room on Discord.
Prosecutors argue he may still have access to secret information that he could expose, claiming he took deliberate steps to undermine the investigation into the leak -
A federal court in Washington found rapper Pras Michel, former artist for The Fugees, guilty on Wednesday of colluding with the Chinese government.
“The Grammy-winning artist and former member of the Fugees faced multiple counts over the failed conspiracy to help Malaysian businessman Jho Low and the Chinese government gain access to U.S. officials, including former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump,” reported CNN. Michel now faces up to 20 years in prison after being found “guilty of conspiracy to defraud the US, witness tampering and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.” Michel remained largely silent throughout the proceedings on Wednesday.
Fox “parting ways” with Tucker Carlson was an insane move by any standards of business, given how popular his show was on the network.
As we noted, it didn’t seem to have affected Carlson’s mood, as he seemed to be having a good time with his wife down in Florida. He also put out a video on Twitter. While he didn’t talk specifically about the “parting of the ways,” I think he was making it clear that he wasn’t going to be silenced.But it is affecting Fox. They’ve taken a huge hit in just one day since the news broke on Monday.
WASHINGTON—She swaggered, she jabbed, she inspired. She even joked.
Anyone looking for a glimpse of what Vice President Kamala Harris could bring to the campaign trail would have found it this week at Howard University, where she headlined a rally for reproductive rights. After two years of tightly scripted, uneven performances that often dismayed Democrats and cheered Republicans, Harris is looser, more forceful and more willing to speak off the cuff following her trip to Africa a month ago.
“That is the vice president that America is going to get a chance to get to know for the first time,” said Laphonza Butler, a former adviser to Harris who leads EMILY’s List.

Despite many of them having only just entered the workforce, Generation Z — those born in 1997 onwards — is already getting a bad rap at the office.
According to a recent survey of 1,300 managers, three out of four agree that Gen Z is harder to work with than other generations — so much so that 65% of employers said they have to fire them more often.
One in eight have let go of a Gen Zer less than one week after their start date, the study found.
The results ring true with managers across the US and in various industries, who report that young hires have been difficult to deal with,

opposing courses on America's founding, Constitution 39 replies
Hundreds of professors at the University of North Carolina signed a public letter Tuesday opposing legislation that would require university students to take courses on America's government and founding documents. The 673 UNC Chapel Hill professors revealed the public letter Tuesday, arguing the new courses and another bill in the North Carolina House of Representatives would constitute an infringement on the university's "academic freedom."
The first piece of legislation, House Bill 96, would require students to take a 3 credit-hour course covering America's founding and history. Required reading for the course would include the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation,
Writer E. Jean Carroll took the witness stand for her lawsuit against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, telling jurors: "I’m here because Trump raped me."
When she stepped forward with her allegations in 2019, Trump "lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m trying to get my life back," Carroll said during her testimony at the civil trial in federal court in Lower Manhattan. Carroll, 79, said she first met Trump — who has said he doesn't know who she is and had never met her — in 1987 at a "Saturday Night Live" party, where she was a writer at the time. She said she believes that's
I am dismayed that Donald Trump seems to be adopting the tactics of the Biden-dominated DNC and rejecting the opportunity for voters to hear directly from candidates for their parties’ nomination in a presidential debate. In a post on Truth Social, he writes:
I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them. When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors asking the “questions,” why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to end a boycott of 30 states that passed conservatives laws after the rule proved costly and ineffective.
The board voted 7-4 to repeal a 2016 law that prohibited city employees from traveling to or doing business with companies in states that passed conservative laws. The board of supervisors first enacted the law in an effort to punish states that had enacted what it viewed as restrictions on LGBT rights after the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Since 2015, the board had amended the law to include states that, in its view

In case the average American didn’t know it already, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is a lesbian, and one who is so “out and proud” that she doesn’t hesitate to mention it every chance she gets – even though pretty much everyone in her circle undoubtedly is aware.The White House press corps, who are likely the “wokest” of any press corps in American history, no doubt knows this as well, which might be why they looked on in stunned silence while Jean-Pierre, who was joined

When it comes to cross-country travel, many electric vehicle owners have learned to take their vehicles’ range readings with a grain of salt — especially in cold weather.
That’s a lesson one man learned the hard way last week when he tried to drive his Rivian electric pickup truck through a rural part of Wyoming — with disappointing results.
Tow truck operator Jake Yeaman of Specialty Towing in Laramie shared the story on his Facebook page.
“Towed my first EV Today,” he said.
“A brand new $90,000 electric pickup from the rest area on South Pass to Rocksprings…

Nikki Haley is auditioning for Trump VP slot
24 replies
Nikki Haley doesn’t have a prayer to become the next President of the United States, although she is a viable VP candidate for sure.
I’ve always had a generally positive impression of her. She is smart, was a good governor, and one of the most reliable and well-spoken of the Trump appointees.
With that said, I was pretty stunned by her cheap shot at Ron DeSantis. I am pretty sure that it will alienate quite a number of people, although to me it’s pretty clear that Republican voters are not the intended recipients of her message. Looking at the language of the tweet her message is clear: she is on board with
In a heated moment during a Congressional hearing on the border crisis, Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell had a meltdown after Texas Congressman Troy Nehls called him out for his relationship with a Chinese spy.
The tense exchange, which was caught on camera, quickly went viral on social media.In the video, Rep. Nehls can be heard stating that Swalwell has a “checkered past” and has been alleged to have had affairs and relationships with a Chinese spy. Swalwell immediately erupted in anger, cursing at Rodriguez and demanding that his words be taken down, claiming: “You don’t get to say that s***!”

Republican presidential candidate and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley took a jab at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday amid the governor’s ongoing battle with Disney.
“@Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida,” she wrote on social media.
“We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina! SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either,” she said, harkening to former President Donald Trump’s nickname for the Florida governor — “Ron DeSanctimonious.”
She did it again.
Nearly every time Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to the public, the occasion ends with a humiliating and viral sound bite. And this time was no exception.
In her first public appearance since President Biden’s re-election announcement, Harris delivered remarks at an abortion rights rally at her alma mater, Howard University, in Washington D.C. on Tuesday.
Describing the significance of the moment, Harris told the crowd:
So I think it’s very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders for us at every moment in time and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to
President Joe Biden on Tuesday lied about his birth by falsely claiming he was born in the same hospital where his grandfather died just two weeks prior.
While speaking at North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference at the Washington Hilton, Biden lied about his birth — one of many lies throughout the years.“My grandpop, who I never met, died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before I was born,” Biden claimed. “My grandpop was, as they say in Maryland, from ‘Blamer.'” However, the Biden family lineage says otherwise. Biden’s grandfather died in September 1941 in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun.
