White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt absolutely smoked former First Lady Jill Biden for her involvement in the cover-up of former President Joe Biden's mental and physical decline and said she definitely needs to answer questions for it. During a White House press briefing on Thursday, Leavitt said, "I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw, in regards to her husband and when she saw it, and what she knew."
Leavitt said that anyone who was paying attention could see the apparent decline in Biden and could see "this was a clear cover-up."

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” collided with deliberation day in the courts, and it did not go well. The Court of International Trade ruled that the President lacks the authority to impose his massive tariffs worldwide.
But all is not lost for Trump’s tariffs.
The three-judge panel held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA) does not give the president “such unbounded authority.”
While some have criticized the court as a “judicial coup,” it is a well-reasoned and good-faith decision from judges appointed by Presidents Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, and Trump.
While the court, in my view, should have issued a stay pending appeal,

Last week, unelected District Court Judge Brian Murphy told the Trump administration that it must bring back an illegal alien who was deported because, according to Murphy, the alien needs due process — and the Trump administration buckled.
In court filings on Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said it would bring back the illegal alien, designated by the initials O.C.G., after Murphy ruled that the administration “ignored” certain steps in the removal process.
But Trump should buck rogue judges, not buckle to them.

President Donald Trump issued a series of pardons on Wednesday, awarding them to a former New York congressman, a Connecticut governor, a rapper known as “NBA YoungBoy,” a labor union leader and a onetime Army officer who flouted safety measures during the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump’s actions mixed his willingness to pardon prominent Republicans and other supporters, donors and friends with the influence of Alice Marie Johnson, whom Trump recently named his pardon czar after he offered her a pardon in 2020.
He commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former Chicago gang leader serving a life sentence at a supermax prison in Colorado.

CNN's Jake Tapper is trying to sell quite a story with his book.
Not the story of Joe Biden's cognitive decline, but the story that somehow he didn't realize the depth of Joe Biden's issues because he was put off by the Biden team telling him everything was fine. Not many people are buying that take. A lot of folks on the left are mad at him for writing the book at all because some are still stuck in the tribal "We must defend Joe Biden at all costs" mode. I see people on the left yelling at him on X over this.

OK, I admit it, I used the phrase “chickens out” the other day when talking about Putin being a no-show for proposed negotiations with Volodymyr Zelensky to end the Russia-Ukraine war. But I wasn’t in the Oval Office, and I wasn’t talking to President Donald Trump.
If I had been, I might have been mowed down like this unfortunate lady.
Thinking she’d embarrass the president following a ceremony to swear in new U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, Megan Casella of CNBC asked, “Wall Street analysts have coined a term called the ‘TACO trade.’ They’re saying that Trump always chickens out on his tariff threats.” What is your response to that?”

Last week’s horrific murders in Washington, DC, can only further feed the backlash against rising antisemitism already brewing in next month’s city Democratic primaries all the way down the ballot.
Start with two City Council races in Brooklyn, where Democratic Socialist/Working Families Party-aligned extremist incumbents face serious challenges from saner Dems.
In and around Park Slope, Maya Kornberg, a research fellow at the progressive Brennan Center, is challenging Shanana Hanif, who, even after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities, has remained all-out anti-Israel. And just to the south, Ling Ye, a former aide to Rep. Dan Goldman, is taking on incumbent Alexa Avilés, a similarly lockstep far-lefty.

This Memorial Day weekend came at a lousy time: The Democratic Party was teetering towards an all-out civil war, and the holiday weekend messed up the momentum.
What fun is that? Beer, burgers, and babes in bikinis are good (along with, y’know, the actual meaning of Memorial Day), but what about the Democratic Party and their circular firing squad? Did it disband?
Nope. The Holiday weekend was merely a momentary pause — the calm before the chaos. Along with the unexpected news drop of Biden’s cancer announcement, Memorial Day didn’t avert the civil war.
It only delayed it.
But not for long: This morning — at 5 a.m. on the flippin’ dot! —

I assure you no one was more dithery than I as we watched vans full of ballots arrive at voting stations in various swing states in the early morning after Election Day in 2020. We saw most of the swing states stop counting votes at almost the same time, something that has never happened in my 59 years.
We were appalled to watch this stooge in Detroit as he covered the windows in a ballot-counting office. And yet, no one did anything.
I truly believed we had a "system" to keep treasonous oiks from stealing an election so blatantly. I assumed this would all get figured out in the courts,

The Big Beautiful Bill passed the House in the early morning of May 22, 2025. Here are the current benefits of the legislation (and the key reforms):
Makes the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent for working and middle-class families.
Increases the child tax credit through 2028.
Adds work requirements for childless adults on Medicaid. These requirements would kick in December 2026, as opposed to 2029.
Adds work requirements and forces states to cover costs for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
Increases the standard deductions on social security payments.

A new, highly infectious COVID-19 strain that has left to a spike in hospitalizations in China has now been detected in the US, including cases in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new NB.1.81 variant was first detected in the US in late March and early April among international travelers arriving at airports in California, Washington State, Virginia and New York City, with additional cases reported in Ohio, Rhode Island and Hawaii.
The CDC has said there are too few cases in the US to be properly tracked in the agency’s variant estimates,

The liberal dream of circumventing the Electoral College might be crumbling faster than anyone expected. Maine, one of the 17 states that joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, is now poised to become the first state to exit the agreement—and it's sending shockwaves through the left-wing coalition that thought they'd found a clever workaround to the Constitution. Just last year, Maine opted to join the compact, which would award all participating states' electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote.
But now the state is having serious second thoughts.
