Biden wants to follow foolish California
and ban freelancing — putting millions

The Labor Department just imposed 300 pages of new regulations to reclassify many individual contractors as payroll employees. CNBC claims this could help freelancers “recover lost wages.” That’s just nonsense. The new rules will make it harder for some freelancers to support a family. It will also make it harder for them to do what they want to do. I know this because I saw what happened in California. Four years ago, unions got Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez to push through a new law that reclassified gig workers. They were told they’d get higher wages, overtime and other benefits. Clueless media liked that. Vox called the law “a big win for workers everywhere.”

Three crucial battleground states have experienced a drop in Democratic voter registration since late 2020 and ahead of a November rematch with former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, election data shows.
Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — which saw some of the closest presidential elections last cycle — all currently have less registered Democratic voters overall than in late 2020, according to the most recent state records. While Democrats still lead Republicans in party registration, the margins in these states are much smaller than before.
Obama’s imprimatur tells us how to comprehend Leave the World Behind. The movie speculates on the end of the world when white advertising executive Clay Sandford (Ethan Hawke), his wife Amanda (Julia Roberts), and their two teenage kids escape Manhattan luxury for a swanky Long Island summer retreat. There, the story develops a political consultant’s test-marketed consensus about the fears of Millennial Americans. The Sandfords react to a cyberattack, plus nature’s revolt, the way pollsters do: Everything is primarily about race.
A group of Westchester County residents is in a frantic fight to keep Donald Trump’s name emblazoned on their luxury high-rise — claiming a rigged condo election could foil their bid, The Post has learned.
About two dozen tenants at the 40-story, 194-unit Trump Plaza in New Rochelle want the former president’s name to stay on the building even after his management company got the boot but say anti-Trump members of the condo board are trying to fix the system in their favor.

NPR editor Uri Berliner claimed that the network ignored The Post's reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election.

There’s more than a little bravery in the world of journalism.
The reporters who’ve died to bring us news from Israel and Gaza come to mind, but you see that kind of bravery every day.
Someone showed a special kind of bravery Tuesday that you rarely if ever see.
Twenty-five-year National Public Radio editor Uri Berliner wrote a devastating critique of the newly woke broadcaster’s descent into the fever swamps of identity politics.

We are patriots engaged in a battle of consequence!
We are the workforce.
We are also digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country.
We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all functioning, the builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning.
We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel.
We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.

helping Hunter Biden defense, whistleblower’s
attorney claims 10 replies
An attorney for one of the two IRS whistleblowers who alleged a Justice Department cover-up in the tax investigation of Hunter Biden accused Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday of allowing conflicts of interests that have led to alleged retaliation against his clients — and prosecutors aiding the president’s son in criminal cases.
In a letter obtained by The Post, Empower Oversight president Tristan Leavitt demanded Garland “put a stop” to any retaliation against the IRS agents and eliminate conflicts of interest related to cases involving the first son.
“On issues related to the whistleblowers, Department attorneys and Hunter Biden’s attorneys are simply not adversarial in these cases,” Leavitt said.
How did that work out for her in 2016?”
ESPN star Stephen A. Smith certainly holds nothing back whenever he speaks, this time slamming presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton for her snide remarks toward voters.
Clinton appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to promote the new Broadway musical “Suffs” — which she helped produce and is about the women’s suffrage movement.
While talking with the former first lady, Fallon couldn’t help but bring up the coming presidential election in November.
The current status of the New York civil fraud case that New York Attorney Letitia James filed against Donald Trump, and that resulted in a huge ruling against him, thanks to Judge Arthur Engoron, is just a little bit of a puzzle. In the short term, Trump is on defense, but the wheels of justice should turn and place him on offense. Understanding that requires us to look at the logic of the law, a subject at once fascinating and exacting and, sometimes, very surprising. The role of logic in law is one of the features of the law that most non-lawyers misunderstand.
Biden is ‘the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech,’ Kennedy said. Independent presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday that President Joe Biden is a “worse threat to democracy” than former President Donald Trump because Biden is weaponizing federal agencies to target free speech.
CNN’s Erin Burnett asked whether the “threat to democracy that Trump poses” is “equal evil to Biden.” “Listen, I can make the argument that President Biden is a much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is the first candidate in history,
A mob of furious Illinoisans demanded Monday that self-described “Super Mayor” Tiffany Henyard resign from her post as the “Dolton Dictator” battles simultaneous sexual assault and money embezzlement scandals.
The Village of Dolton’s monthly board meeting delved into chaos as the swarm of 100 people banged on doors as dozens of others testified against Henyard, leading the four trustees to walk out.

A social psychology professor in New York studied the complexity of “endings” — everything from ending the war in Vietnam to terminating a personal relationship. Ending the Israel-Hamas war dominates the political dialogue, highlighted recently in a chat between President Biden and Leo Varadkar, the Irish prime minister. From the official White House transcript: [Biden]: And the Taoiseach and I agree about the urgent need to increase humanitarian aid in Gaza and get the ceasefire deal — (applause) — to get a ceasefire deal that brings our — brings the hostages home and move toward a two-state solution,

O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and ultimately acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died, according to his family. He was 76.
"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace," a statement from his family said.
In May 2023, Simpson posted a video on X, then known as Twitter, revealing that he had recently "caught cancer" and "had to do the whole chemo thing."

Iran has warned the Biden White House that if the United States interferes in its anticipated retaliatory strike against Israel, the United States will become a legitimate target for Iranian terrorism. According to the anti-American and pro-Hamas website The Intercept, "On Monday night, Iran conveyed to the Biden administration that if it involved itself in defending Israel were Tehran to undertake a retaliatory strike, it would consider the United States a viable target as well. The issue was discussed at a Tuesday NSC meeting, according to notes reviewed by The Intercept. (The NSC did not respond to a request for comment.)"
This crisis was precipitated by an Israeli airstrike
The commander of a US Navy warship is apparently a not-so-sharpshooter.
A commanding officer of the USS John S. McCain, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, was mocked online after he was photographed holding an assault weapon with its scope mounted backward as he took aim at a target known as a “killer tomato.”
Cmdr. Cameron Yaste “observes the live-fire exercise event. The ship is in U.S. 7th Fleet conducting routine operations,” read a caption posted by Defense Visual Information Distribution Service alongside an image of him holding up the weapon with the Trijicon VCOG scope installed backward while pointed at a large target balloon.

City’ for Migrants, That ‘Requires
Shared Sacrifice’ 32 replies
During a portion of an interview with CNBC that was recorded in February and aired on Thursday’s “Cities of Success,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston responded to a question on if the city was too open to migrants and too generous by stating that “it’s a balance. We want to be a welcoming city” but doing that without federal help “requires shared sacrifice, it requires compromise. So, we are both making cuts to city budgets to meet this financial need, and we are making cuts to the amount of services we can provide to the migrants that arrive and to the number of folks that we can serve.”
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says it is “preposterous” to suggest that President Joe Biden is importing millions of migrants to the United States to inflate political power in favor of Democrats.
During a Senate budget hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Mayorkas if it is a fact “that the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?” Mayorkas initially responded, saying “I’m not sure I understand your question but I can surely share with you that I disagree with its phrasing.”
Non-profit theater companies across the country would receive a $5 billion taxpayer-funded bailout under a new plan being promoted by a group of Democrats in the Senate. The proposed bailout comes as prominent stages are facing unprecedented financial crises following their embrace of woke identity politics, which has alienated audiences and donors. Among the companies poised to receive the new federal dollars would be New York’s Public Theater, which staged the gruesome stabbing death of President Donald Trump in its infamous 2017 production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday explained his apparent flip-flop on a controversial surveillance law, saying that he now favors limited reforms after receiving a classified briefing.
Speaker Johnson was asked by reporters why he changed his opinion on reforming Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a controversial surveillance law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ communications without a warrant. Johnson this week came out against a warrant requirement for Section 702 and moved not to allow an amendment that would have barred intelligence and law enforcement agencies from purchasing Americans’ private information through third-party data brokers. This is considered a run around
This afternoon, President Trump shared an image of a 2018 letter from Stormy Daniels on his Truth Social Account.
Above the image of the letter from the porn star, turned darling of the Democrat Party, President Trump wrote:
“LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND!”
He asked, “WILL THE FAKE NEWS REPORT IT??” Here is what the 2018 letter that Stormy Daniels allegedly sent said, which should be the end of yet another lie that was told over and over again by the media in their effort to destroy him.

Rush Limbaugh warned Democrats would eventually promote pedophilia.
Progressivism never stops. Its advocates never say, “This is far enough.” No sooner is one objective completed than left-wing agitators shout that a new social justice battle be waged.
For centuries, God-ordained families headed by one biological man and one biological woman have been civilizations’ bedrocks.
But just as progressives hunger to rewrite Western Civilization’s history (witness scholastic textbook revisionism and the razing of American Founders’ statuary), they crave cultural destruction.
First, they urged same-sex marriages to be legally recognized.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe on Thursday acknowledged errors in the investigation of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign as he pushed for a warrantless surveillance tool’s renewal.
The FBI used a document containing opposition research on Trump to earn approval from a secret court that oversees the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to secretly monitor campaign aide Carter Page, according to CNN. The House of Representatives on Wednesday blocked a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of FISA, with April 19 being the deadline to do so, but McCabe on “CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta” advocated to renew it while admitting the act has led to misuse.
Vice President Kamala Harris posted a video to X on Thursday in which she praised the ATF’s proposed rule which will force background checks on private gun sales.
President Biden boasted about the proposed ATF rule Thursday morning as well. Breitbart News explained that the ATF’s proposed rule changes the definition of what it means to be “engaged in the business of selling guns,” thereby expanding the instances in which an unlicensed seller — i.e., a private citizen — must use the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to sell or transfer a gun.
