Left-leaning AP is out of step with the
rest of the US
Posted By: Imright, 4/20/2025 3:36:35 AM
As a lifelong journalist, I should be on the side of The Associated Press in its ongoing legal fight with the Trump White House. And I would be if the AP were the neutral, fact-driven wire service it used to be. Unfortunately, it has become just another outlet peddling leftist opinion disguised as straight news. And as its fight with the White House demonstrates, it also reeks of a sense of elite entitlement. The case involves the AP’s claims that its freedom of speech was violated when it was booted from its long-standing spot in the press pool, an elite, small group of legacy news outlets that get near-daily access to the president.

Former Fox News contributor, author, entrepreneur, and pundit Steve Hilton has thrown his hat into the ring and announced Monday that he will run as a Republican for California governor in ’26. He released a moving video on X describing his political journey, his past positions at the top levels of the British government, his move to California in 2012, and the immense pride he felt when he became a United States citizen. I’ve seen Hilton speak, and he’s a passionate warrior and patriot who cares deeply about the Golden State and its horrendous decline under one-party rule.
“It’s time to make California Golden Again,” he said in his post:
The Vatican has released images of Pope Francis being laid out in an open coffin ahead of the Confirmation of the Death of the Pontiff ceremony.
His Holiness died Monday after suffering a stroke that led to irreversible heart failure following a weeks-long hospitalization with pneumonia. He was 88.
The pontiff’s body had been placed in the coffin late Monday night, with Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican camerlengo — the “chamberlain” who essentially acts as head of the Vatican between the end of a papacy and the start of the next — reading the official declaration of death aloud in an intimate ceremony.

Attack: ‘Deciding Vote … to Keep DEI

Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) blasted Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), his former colleague on the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), after Bacon played up recent establishment media attacks on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Bacon latched onto the latest batch of establishment media attacks alleging Hegseth shared classified information in a Signal chat.
Banks attacked Bacon for using the reports as a pretense to attack the Trump agenda, which Hegseth is carrying out at the Department of Defense, pointing out Bacon has often cast votes to kill Trump’s America First agenda in the past.
BOSTON — Harvard University announced Monday that it was suing the Trump administration to halt a freeze on more than $2.2 billion in grants after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration’s demands to limit activism on campus. (Photo)

In a letter to Harvard earlier this month, Trump’s administration had called for broad government and leadership reforms at the university, as well as changes to its admissions policies. It also demanded the university audit views of diversity on campus, and stop recognizing some student clubs.
President Trump had the perfect response to a reporter asking if he still has confidence in Pete Hegseth after the latest Signal chat leak.
Fake News NPR ran a hit piece on Hegseth and said the White House is looking to replace him as Defense Secretary.
“It’s just fake news,” President Trump said to reporter at the Easter Egg Roll. “You know, he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people, and that’s what he’s doing. You don’t always have friends when you do that.”
“He is doing a great job … Ask the Houthis how he’s doing,” Trump said referring the US strikes on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
President Trump is expected to attend the funeral of Pope Francis in Vatican City later this week, sources familiar with the plans tell The Post.
The funeral and interment of Francis, who died early Monday at the age of 88, must take place between four and six days after his death, though the exact schedule has yet to be finalized. (Photos) At the White House Easter Egg Roll, Trump did not say whether he would attend the funeral, telling reporters: “I don’t know yet. We’re going to be briefed on it right now … I just have to look at the timing.”
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump expected to welcome 40,000 people to the first White House Easter Egg Roll of his second term, though the annual event could turn soggy with scattered showers in Monday’s forecast. The president and first lady were scheduled to address the crowd from a White House balcony before they join the festivities.
Sunday was the day for Easter greetings from many quarters.
But there was something odd that people noticed immediately about the Easter message from the Democrats' X account. Do you see it? (X Photo) What, or should I say who, was missing in this panoply of Democratic occupants of the Oval Office over the years?
You have Jimmy Carter from the 1970s, John F. Kennedy from the 1960s, Barack Obama from the 2000s, and Bill Clinton from the 90s.
But Joe Biden is missing.
Pope Francis’ death has set off a centuries-old orchestrated series of events to honor his life and legacy, though the funeral for the 266th pope will likely differ drastically from those of his predecessors.
The beloved pontiff, who died on Monday at 88 following a lengthy battle of double pneumonia, made changes to his funeral rites last year that underscore his humility while ditching the traditional pomp and circumstance. (Photo) Typically, papal funerals are held four to six days after the death in St. Peter’s Square, however, Francis had said that, unlike his predecessors, he would not be laid to rest in the crypt of St. Peter’s Basilica.

In the Gateway Pundit, I recently documented how Letitia James misrepresented the number of apartment units in her apartment building when applying for loans and refinancing.
Letitia repeatedly told banks and the US government that her apartment building at 296 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn only had four apartment units, when in fact the official Certificate of Occupancy for her building indicates it had five.

President Trump reportedly plans to pull an additional billion dollars in funding from Harvard University, just a week after freezing $2.2 billion in multi-year federal grants over the Ivy League school’s refusal to make changes to curb alleged antisemitism and overhaul admissions policies.
Following the week-long escalating dispute, sources told The Wall Street Journal that the Trump administration is looking to withdraw an additional billion dollars from the school’s funding for health research.

Tim Walz’s Daughter Says Trump Would
Have Deported Jesus And Claimed He Was

Have Deported Jesus And Claimed He Was
Part Of MS-13 30 replies
The 24-year-old daughter of Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz released a TikTok video in which she claimed that if Jesus Christ lived in the United States, the Trump administration would deport him and claim he was part of a deadly gang.
Walz appeared to be making a reference to 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Democrats have sought for Garcia to be sent back to the United States, claiming that he has been denied due process.
A far-left pastor of a Florida United Methodist Church lit a candle wrapped in barbed wire in honor of accused MS-13 gang member and alleged wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia during his Easter Sunday service, saying the United States government “kidnapped” him.
The sermon was given by Rev. Andy Oliver of Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, where he compared the El Salvadoran illegal alien to one of the criminals who were crucified alongside Jesus Christ before his Resurrection:
Monday, on the heels of the news of Pope Francis’ passing, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough launched a scathing attack on the so-called “hard-right” inside the Catholic Church.
Scarbourgh claimed the hard-right inside the church “hated” the recently deceased Pope for being “Christ-like.”
“I was just going say many on the hard right inside the church were shocked that this Pope would actually borrow from Jesus Christ and living that simple life, borrow from Jesus Christ, and they were radical words when he said it and it was like it was sounded the shot of a cannon. It just stunned everybody when the Pope said who am I to judge now?
After the death of Pope Francis at the age of 88, the world is waiting to see who will succeed him, as the Cardinals gather in Rome for the Papal Conclave. He was the first Latin American Pope, so did that signal a wider change within the Catholic Church and will we now see the first black or Asian Pope? Here are the top contenders to become the next Supreme Pontiff...
Pope Francis has died aged 88, the Vatican announced today.
The Pontiff spent his final weeks in hospital with an infection that developed into pneumonia in both lungs.
The Conclave - where cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to choose a successor - will not happen for at least 15 days.
Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's personal bag was stolen with $3,000 cash inside during a dinner outing at a Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday.
Noem’s bag also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge, makeup, checks, medication, and apartment keys, a spokesperson confirmed to The Post.
Security footage reviewed by the Secret Service showed a white man in a surgical mask snatching Noem’s bag before leaving the restaurant.
The theft was first reported by CNN.
The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments. It is not clear whether a suspect has been identified or the extent of Noem’s protective detail during Sunday’s outing.
A recent report from an education watchdog has found that colleges and universities across the nation are still operating diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and programs, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding an end to DEI initiatives among any organizations that receive federal funding.
Defending Education, the higher education arm of Parents Defending Education, published a report this week detailing how nearly 400 colleges and universities in the U.S. still operate DEI offices and programs. Only 16 colleges and universities have shuttered their DEI initiatives.
According to the report, 242 universities still operate DEI offices or programs, as do 162 schools or colleges. Defending Education also found
Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at the age of 88, after a long battle with respiratory illness — during which he was hospitalized for 38 days and nearly died twice — and a number of absolute ghouls on X have spent the morning attempting to blame Vice President JD Vance for the pontiff’s passing.
Vance, who was an atheist prior to his conversion to Catholicism, spent the holiday weekend with his family at the Vatican — and shared photos on Easter Sunday of his brief meeting with Pope Francis. Just hours later, however, the vice president shared his condolences after learning that the pope had passed.
Fort McCoy Garrison Commander Col. Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from her position after reportedly refusing to display official photographs of Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The announcement was made in a brief and carefully worded statement by Fort McCoy’s Senior Commander on Saturday, claiming the suspension was “not related to any misconduct” and that “no further details will be provided at this time.”
The statement reads, “Col. Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended as Garrison Commander at Fort McCoy. This suspension is not related to any misconduct. We have no further details to provide at this time while this matter is under review.”
The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.

The shrine to Barack Obama, aka the Obama library at the Obama Presidential Center (OPC), is still under construction in Chicago.
Photos of the building made the rounds on social media recently, and the building is receiving harsh criticism, with some suggesting the barren, characterless building looks more like a prison than a library.
Biz Pac Review notes that the building, designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, features an exterior wrapped in granite panels and is one of “numerous buildings on the massive 19-acre Obama Presidential Center campus, which has been priced at about $830 million by the Associated Press.”
