The Internal Revenue Service not only is involved in voter registration, it should get more involved, a coalition of over 50 liberal groups argues. Meanwhile, the Obamacare exchange will attempt to drive up voter registration, while agencies within the Justice Department have acted to ensure that prisoners in federal custody may cast a ballot if eligible. President Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14019, which requires federal agencies to get involved in boosting voter participation, is a little over 2 years old.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said he is pulling the plug on the state’s sole PBS television station because of “indoctrination and over-sexualization” of children through content that promotes drag queens and the LGBTQ agenda.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the Republican leader said taxpayers should not have to fund OETA-TV, given its far-Left bias. He recently moved to block funding for the station through 2026. Unless the state legislature overrides his veto, the network will cease operations this year
The next step in the plan to remove Trump

Just last week the Proud Boys trial around the events of January 6, 2021 concluded. Four leaders of the Proud Boys were convicted of "seditious conspiracy" in a heavily biased DC court for their activities related to the mostly peaceful demonstrations of that date. Julie Kelly, and others have written in detail about the case and some of the implications, but there are a few aspects I would like to elaborate on here.
To my mind, there are some dangerous precedents that have been set for subsequent attacks on Donald Trump and on the GOP presidential campaign. The first of these is having a court identify the J6 events as "sedition",
As the geography narrows before us, it is important to remember the stakes and avoid the distractions. As a consequence, the baseline must be reaffirmed. It is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government.
It is a difficult shift in thinking, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two distinct private corporations, two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control.
Forte, the 2023 Kentucky Derby favorite,

scratched 10 hours before race at Churchill Downs 5 replies
The field for Saturday's Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs has lost its morning-line favorite.
Florida Derby winner Forte has been scratched from the race about 10 hours before Saturday's post time of 6:57 p.m. Forte owner Mike Repole said the decision to scratch the horse was made by Kentucky Horse Racing Commission veterinarian Nick Smith.
Forte, the 2-year-old champion and winner of five straight races, was set as the 3-1 morning-line favorite following Monday’s draw. The odds were 4-1 as of Saturday morning before his scratch.
Immigration, trade, war, and crime. Being right on these four issues propelled Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016 against all odds. The intervening seven years have changed nothing. The only way a candidate from the Right can possibly win the presidency in 2024 is by campaigning on limiting immigration (build the wall), increasing tariffs, getting out of Ukraine, and restoring law and order (especially in regards to elections and the opioid crisis).
These are the core issues for the center-Right coalition needed to win national elections. No supposedly conservative politician with aspiration for higher office should ever make any public statement without hammering at least one of these points.

RFK Jr. may be running for president — but it’s one of his potential rivals, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose wife is being touted as the new queen of Camelot.
Casey DeSantis, the one-time Jacksonville TV anchor and breast cancer survivor who married DeSantis in 2009, invoked comparisons to Jackie Kennedy Onassis on the couple’s trip to Japan this week

Tucker Carlson firing: 'Your careers are

Media personality Megyn Kelly blasted The View's hosts for their celebration of Fox News firing Tucker Carlson.
During her SiriusXM The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly slammed the trajectory of the daytime talk show hosts’ careers.
“Your careers are going nowhere, and Tucker's about to dominate in whatever space he goes to,” Kelly said.
On Monday, Fox News announced it had parted ways with the ratings-leading prime-time host. In response to the news, The View’s co-hosts led their live audience in doing
Utah’s two Republicans in the U.S. Senate have decidedly different reactions to the widening ethics scandal swirling around Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for failing to disclose lavish gifts, expensive vacations and financial dealings with a Texas billionaire.
Thomas has traveled on GOP donor Harlan Crow’s private plane and megayacht for years without reporting those gifts as law requires. Additionally, in 2014 Crow purchased Thomas’ childhood home in Georgia, where he allows Thomas’ mother to live rent-free.
Perhaps We Should All Go Back to Church
21 replies
went to church on Sunday. I used to go all the time. I am not sure why I stopped. Maybe it was because Sundays morphed into a day to sleep-in, have brunch with friends, and then watch sports until evening, living the “Sunday-funday” lifestyle. Regardless of why I went to church on Sunday or why I stopped going, I left thinking to myself, I want to come back again next week. It also made me think, perhaps we should all go back to church (or synagogue, or the mosque).
Fewer and fewer Americans are attending religious services, and our society is reflecting the loss of morality.
Cherry-picking Who Is A Child

America has an undeniable, serious problem with gun violence and firearm deaths. The debate about how to solve it revolves around whether guns are the cause or a symptom of deeper societal issues. In truth, whether cause or symptom, gun violence in the young does not lend itself to a single solution. It is a multifactorial problem that is obscured by a recent alarming statistic, currently being disseminated in the media and scientific literature. Rather than an argument for a ban on AR-15s or a defense of the Second Amendment, this piece is meant to clarify that misleading statistic.
The defrocked Roman Catholic cardinal who became the face of the church's clergy sex abuse crisis has been charged in Wisconsin with sexually assaulting an 18-year-old man more than 45 years ago, court records show.
A criminal complaint filed Friday alleges that Theodore McCarrick, who was removed from the priesthood in 2019 after a Vatican investigation found he had sexually molested adults and children, fondled a man in 1977 while staying at a cabin on Geneva Lake in southeastern Wisconsin.

On Wednesday night, CNN invited President Trump to hold a town hall in front of New Hampshire voters.
Despite her best efforts and weeks of preparation and role-playing, “nasty” CNN host Kaitlan Collins was dragged through the mud by President Trump.
CNN had to cut the network’s town hall with President Trump by 20 minutes after Trump, backed by a wildly supportive audience (hand-picked by CNN), took control of the forum from anchor Kaitlan Collins right from the start and never let up.
Puck’s Dylan Byers reported on CNN cutting the town hall short, “Note: The CNN Town Hall was a 90-minute broadcast,
Joe Biden fundraised off of former President Donald Trump’s CNN town hall appearance on Wednesday, asking people if they “want four more years of that?”
“It’s simple, folks. Do you want four more years of that? If you don’t, pitch in to our campaign,” the president tweeted Wednesday night. (Tweet) As Breitbart News reported, former President Donald Trump largely dominated the CNN town hall on Wednesday as he blew through Kaitlan Collins’ questioning and speaking almost unopposed:
As we sit comfortably in our homes, having dinner with our families, crime rates are going up all around us. (snip) Now, under the guise of prohibiting discrimination based on race, religion, sex, etc., Democrats have proposed regulations that would force jurisdictions that accept HUD funding to "promote equity in their communities, decrease segregation, and increase access to opportunity and community assets for people of color and other underserved communities."
In other words, the left is saying that the route to upward mobility for disadvantaged minorities is dependent on their relocation to more affluent areas
Is Any 'One Culture Superior to Others'?
25 replies
Recently, while apologizing to "indigenous peoples" and denouncing Christians — without the all-important historical context — Pope Francis declared, "Never again can the Christian community allow itself to be infected by the idea that one culture is superior to others[.]"
This — claiming all cultures are equal — is a dangerous position, not least as it leads to relativism and the abnegation of Truth.
For most Western people today, the word culture conjures at best superficial differences — "exotic" dress or food. In reality, however, cultures are nothing less than entire and distinct worldviews with their own unique sets of right and wrongs, often rooted in a
Daniel Penny is expected to turn himself in as soon as Friday to face criminal charges in connection with the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard an F train, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office.
"We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of Manslaughter in the Second Degree," a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. "We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow." Neely died following a chokehold on May 1. Video showed Penny, a Marine veteran, putting Neely in a chokehold following outbursts from Neely on the train.
CNN employees publicly disagreed with network head Chris Licht on whether or not “America was served” by hosting former President Donald Trump at Wednesday night’s town hall event.
The event, which was reportedly cut short due to Trump’s performance, was largely seen as a success by Trump supporters, and reportedly by Trump’s team as well. (Tweet/Photos) Trump’s rare appearance on the network — highlighted by the result — did not sit well with some CNN employees, who took to public forums to air grievances about if Licht was correct in suggesting “America was served” by the town hall.
It must have seemed to Democrats like a good idea at the time to encourage the idea that their most solid political base, African Americans, deserve payment from taxpayers for the harm that slavery did to their ancestors. Particularly when Donald Trump began making inroads in 2016, taking Hillary Clinton’s support among black males down to 82%, well below the 90s that Barack Obama enjoyed. Because bribing voting blocs with taxpayers’ money is such a familiar tool for politicians, this tactic didn’t raise alarm at first.
In California, which likes to see itself as a trend-maker for the rest of the nation, the Democrat-dominated Legislature passed and Governor
E. Jean Carroll threatened to sue Donald Trump for a third time over the 'vile' comments he made during the CNN town hall on Wednesday night.
Her latest legal threat came as the former President formally filed a notice of appeal after he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming the Elle columnist, and she was awarded $5million in damages.
Carroll told The New York Times on Thursday that she was considering filing another defamation suit after Trump told CNN's Kaitlan Collins the story was 'fake' and 'made up'.
Furious residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit against the city after it announced plans to house illegal immigrants in a disused high school in the South Side.
The old South Shore High School is expected to become a temporary holding space for up to 500 migrants, but officials have not clarified for how long.
The lawsuit was filed after on May 4 hundreds of South Shore residents packed into an auditorium and bombarded local officials with criticism over plans to house the migrants in the school, complaining about safety and
I know Romanian corruption.
When I was exiting the country in 1987 after investigating its collapsing economy, I made sure to bribe every guard who searched my luggage at the Bucharest airport with a pack of Kent cigarettes. But I neglected to give a pack to the soldier on the tarmac as I walked to my Lufthansa flight.
He was soon screaming and waving his submachine gun in my direction. Whoops.
After the fall of the Communist regime, the US State Department launched a program to help Romania curtail corruption.
Vice President Joe Biden masterminded that effort from 2009 to 2016.
The Biden administration is proposing new limits on greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants, its most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the nation's second-largest contributor to climate change.
A rule to be unveiled Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency could force power plants to capture smokestack emissions using a technology that has long been promised but is not in widespread use in the U.S.
If finalized, the proposed regulation would mark the first time the federal government has restricted carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants,
Charges were filed against four teenage suspects in the murder of a 24-year-old Chicago police officer.
Joseph Brooks, 18, Jakwon Buchanan, 18, Trevell Breeland, 19, and Jaylan Frazier, 16, were all charged as adults with first-degree murder.
Officer Areanah Preston, 24, was found dead in front of her home on 81st Street and Blackstone Avenue as she came from work at 1.42am on Saturday morning.
She died from multiple gunshot wounds and her death is officially being considered a in-the-line-of-duty killing, a CPD spokesperson said Monday.
Surveillance video showed three of the suspects getting out of a car and running toward Preston.
