President Joe Biden doled out Presidential Medals of Freedom Friday to a number of top Democrats - giving a special shout-out to former Vice President Al Gore for conceding his disputed 2020 election gracefully. Of the 19 new recipients receiving the country's top civilian honor, five were party leaders: Gore, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep. Jim Clyburn - who single-handedly saved Biden's 2020 presidential run - and former New York City Michael Bloomberg. Adding a big of glamour to the mix was Academy Award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian-American to receive an Oscar, Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky, who is set to compete

Former President Trump was joined by a bevy of high-profile supporters Monday morning outside the Manhattan courtroom, where the NY v. Trump trial will hear from key witness Michael Cohen.
As Trump spoke to the media early Monday morning, Republican supporters such as Ohio Sen. JD Vance, New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, his son Eric Trump, and others were seen standing behind the 45th president for what is anticipated to be an action-packed day in court.
"I’m proud to be in New York today to support my friend and president, Donald Trump. Americans see this case for what it is—a political circus.
Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said she will edit her new book after being called out for a section defending President Biden’s actions during the dignified transfer of the U.S. service members killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport in 2021. As Axios reported, Psaki argues in her new book “Say More” that Biden didn’t look at his watch until after the ceremony was over—which contradicts photo and video documentation as well as accounts from Gold Star families present during the transfer.
Reality check: Psaki's new account is at odds with fact-checks at the time, news agencies' photos

Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen will take the witness stand on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush payment’ lawfare trial against Trump in New York City.
Trump’s former lawyer-turned-rat Michael Cohen has been on TikTok nearly every day trashing Trump and selling t-shirts of Trump in jail.
Meanwhile, President Trump is gagged and cannot defend himself against Michael Cohen’s attacks. (X Video) Judge Juan Merchan last week warned Michael Cohen to stop talking about the Trump hush money case.A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged this year as the judge set the trial date.

A study from TransUnion, a consumer credit reporting agency, which surveyed 614 Gen Z adults currently between the ages of 22-24, and 623 Millennials who had been between the ages of 22-24 ten years ago, found that Gen Z adults were facing a tougher situation financially that Millennials did years ago.The study found that Millennials during the last half of 2013, or Quarter 4 (Q4) were making an income of around $39,394, adjusted for inflation. When adjusted for inflation,

Rehoboth Beach, Del.— Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday delivered some of the Biden administration’s strongest public criticism yet of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, saying Israeli tactics have meant “a horrible loss of life of innocent civilians” but failed to neutralize Hamas leaders and fighters and could drive a lasting insurgency.
In a pair of TV interviews, Blinken underscored that the United States believes Israeli forces should “get out of Gaza,” but also is waiting to see credible plans from Israel for security and governance in the territory after the war.
Hamas has reemerged in parts of Gaza, Blinken said, and “heavy action” by Israeli forces
Comedian Bill Maher trashed adult film actress Stormy Daniels’ testimony against former President Donald Trump last week due to blatant contradictions from a past interview she gave with him.
Maher addressed Stormy’s testimony during a panel discussion on his HBO show last Friday night wherein he played a former clip of an interview with Stormy that blatantly contradicts many of the claims she made on the witness stand in the criminal trial against Trump.
“She’s a bad witness!” Maher flatly stated.
In the clip from the interview that Maher aired, Stormy said she had a consensual affair with former President Trump and that she never viewed herself as a #MeToo victim.
President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign dropped a nasty Mother’s Day video attacking former President Donald Trump.
The video focused on insulting Trump’s past policies regarding women such as abortion and separating illegal immigrant families. The attacks begin when the screen flashes “Happy Mother's Day" written on the bottom.
But then the screen goes blank with the words, "But not from Donald Trump” across it.
The campaign urged Americans to “stop Trump,” by doing the moms in their lives a favor.
“On Mother’s Day, a reminder: Donald Trump stands only for himself and not mothers across America and their families,” the video says.
In a letter dated April 8, 2024, addressed to Chief Judge Swain of New York, Ashley Biden, daughter of U.S. President Joe Biden, confirmed the authenticity of her previously ‘stolen’ diary.
The diary, which has sparked considerable public and media attention due to Joe Biden’s perverted acts, became a subject of controversy when excerpts were leaked online.
Ashley Biden’s letter, obtained by the New York Times, was submitted as part of a judicial proceeding against Aimee Harris, one of the individuals convicted of ‘stealing’ and selling her personal journal.
In her correspondence, Ashely Biden expressed profound distress over the theft and subsequent public dissemination of her private thoughts,
Actress Jennifer Lawrence taunted former Vice President Mike Pence, calling him a closeted gay man at GLAAD’s (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) annual Media Awards event in New York City Saturday.
The show started Saturday with a bit of disruption, as one invited guest had to be escorted out of the venue after standing up and yelling about how GLAAD is “complicit in genocide” over the situation in Gaza. From the stage, TV personality Ross Matthews agreed that the issue was important, Billboard reported.
President Joe Biden is not only negotiating with terrorists but has gone so far as to negotiate for them, according to Republican Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who slammed the 81-year-old Democrat for withholding crucial munitions from the U.S.’s “top ally” Israel in order to “get votes in November from the pro-Hamas part of the Democrat party.”
Burgum, a former Republican presidential candidate who is currently considered to be a possible Trump vice-presidential pick, criticized Biden for breaking U.S. protocol by effectively negotiating on behalf of terrorists, marking unprecedented presidential conduct, during an appearance on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom on Thursday.
Stormy Daniels may have blown the Democrats' last chance to see Donald Trump jailed before the election by portraying herself as a victim in bombshell testimony to his hush money trial, Bill Maher claimed.
The HBO host unearthed footage of his 2018 interview with the former porn star in which she laughed off suggestions she was coerced into having sex during the alleged hook-up 12 years earlier.
'It is not a 'me-too' case,' she told Maher at the time, 'I wasn't assaulted, I wasn't attacked or raped or coerced or blackmailed.'
Former President Donald Trump’s vice president list is picking up speculation after a surprise guest joined the 2024 hopeful at his massive New Jersey rally. Flying in on the former president’s “Trump Force One” campaign plane, Gov. Doug Burgum (ND) was seen exiting the aircraft after it landed in a deep-blue state Saturday afternoon.
An April Axios report revealed that Burgum has quickly moved up Trump’s vice president shortlist, believing he could be a safe choice who could attract moderate voters.
The governor and his wife reportedly remained on the plane to speak privately with Trump before emerging at the 80,000 MAGA-supporting rally.

Professor Bill McGuire is a well-known vulcanologist and climate scientist who doesn't care much for humanity. He tweeted out a scathingly brilliant idea if you're in the mortuary business or work as a grave digger.
"If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate." https://t.co/hzga69EhV3

Ooopsie. McGuire deleted the tweet a few hours later but had no regrets. The trouble is, we just don't understand how brilliant he is.
The news these days is too often bad. There is domestic unrest all over the United States; the Middle East is once again aflame, and Russia and China both are growing more bellicose by the day. Gas and grocery prices are up, interest rates are up, wages are stagnant, and it's raining out.
Now and then, though, a news item comes along that just makes one grin.

Joe Biden has been hiding intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas leaders and their command tunnels, depriving Israel of vital information that could lead to an end to the war. That revelation came in a report on Saturday and was framed as the administration offering that information now if the ongoing operation in Rafah is canceled. The story first broke in The Washington Post, with the paper describing the offer as follows.
The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location

Just as Hamas targeted young children, even babies, for unthinkable torture and death, pro-Hamas demonstrators in Berkeley targeted a Jewish Community Center (NOT an Israeli facility) with preschool students in class as they chanted slogans through a bullhorn and marched. Even worse, the students who walked out were reportedly accompanied by two vice principals from the Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School as they intimidated the innocent toddlers, guilty solely of being Jewish.

The Democrats intend to investigate former President Donald Trump to death, and they aren’t waiting for him to win the White House again to do it.
The latest leftie to threaten an investigation into the GOP’s presumptive nominee is Rhode Island Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who said it is “highly likely” the Senate Budget Committee, for which he serves as chair, will be looking into comments Trump reportedly made to oil executives at a Mar-a-Lago meeting last month.
Whitehouse is already digging into Big Oil, Newsweek reports, and said it’s a “natural extension of the investigation already underway.”

Minnesota raised its new state flag over its capitol on Saturday. The flag was unfurled on the state's "Statehood Day" holiday and features a stylized outline of the state, an eight-pointed star and a field of light blue. The unveiling is the culmination of a competition to redesign the flag and state seal to replace one that showed native peoples being driven off their land. The final design for the flag was modified from a submission by Andrew Prekker. "The new flag and seal reflect all Minnesotans and showcase the features of our state that we can all recognize – the
