 Newsbusters: UPDATE: The April 27 ABC, CBS, NBC morning shows also skipped this latest bombshell. A bombshell report in the Daily Mail revealed that Joe Biden had agreed to pay his derelict son Hunter’s legal fees related to his business dealings with a Chinese government-controlled company. A stunning revelation that ties the President to his son’s rampant corruption after he claimed he's never discussed it with him. Despite this groundbreaking story, all three nightly newscasts decided to cover up for the Biden crime family and ignore the story. ... It is clear that the networks are not reliable sources of news about the Biden family business of corruption.  The fact is that the partisan operatives of these media outlets are as corrupt as the Biden family.

 Asra Nomani: After Race-Based Admissions To Nation’s Top High School, Students Drop Out And Underperform At Record Rates In summer 2017, when Ann Bonitatibus walked through the front doors of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology as its new principal, she came with a mission to turn the top-rated school upside down. For her, that meant flipping the school’s racial demographics. At the time, 7 of 10 students came from Asian immigrant families, two of 10 from white families, and one of 10 students came from black, Hispanic, and multiracial families. ... Going from a merit-based system to a race-based system was a disaster for the school and the students.  There is a lesson here for those who push the "equity" agenda instead of rewarding people who put in the effort to become high achievers.  What she did was racist per se.

  NY Post: Elon Musk suggests name change for Trump’s Truth Social ...  “Truth Social (terrible name) exists because Twitter censored free speech,” Musk tweeted. “Should be called Trumpet instead!” ... I like Trumpet as the name and it is also very Trumpian. 

 Washington Times: Maryan Zablotskyy , a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, is reaching out to the Second Amendment advocates in the U.S. to figure out how to convince his government to loosen Ukraine ‘s stringent gun laws. Months before the Russian invasion, Mr. Zablotskyy took on his country’s civilian gun-control system that was inherited from the former Soviet Union when he introduced a bill to allow private ownership of firearms. “I tried to convince parliament. I was the sponsor of the bill that allowed the ownership of private firearms within Ukraine . Unfortunately, that bill has failed. And, largely, of course, due to the Russian lobby,” he told The Washington Times. “Now we, of course, understand why. I think that now there’s overwhelming support for the right of Ukrainians to bear arms.” ... I would think the need for it would be obvious by now.   

 Instapundit: THE WEATHER IS LOVELY, AL GORE HURT MOST: 139 For 50 + years the weather forecasts of the climate change crowd have been serially wrong.  The poles are still not ice-free and coastal cities are still not underwater.  BTW, there were high tides that swamped parts of the earth long before people started using fossil fuels.   I think the current climate is quite nice and probably better than it was 50 years ago.   See, also: CLIMATISTAS’ BANK HEIST DEFEATED

Legal Insurrection:   Biden Blocks Oil Drilling on Millions of Acres in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve The cut includes an “area recognized as having high potential for oil discovery and development and therefore would be likely to be impacted if available to fluid mineral leasing and new construction.” This is idiotic.  You should not stop the development of energy resources until you have a viable alternative.  He has none.  Wind and solar are not reliable or up to the job.   It is as unintelligent of his blocking American drilling and buying oil and gas from Russia was.  Their is literally no sanity in Biden's energy policy.

  Daily Mail: Biden sets up 'Disinformation Board' to combat midterm fake news headed by Russia 'expert' who called Hunter's laptop a 'Trump campaign product' and said she 'shudders to think' about Elon Musk taking over Twitter It has become obvious that Democrats want to make an issue of "disinformation" in 2022 while using it as they have been for years.  The same people who pushed the Russian collusion hoax and the false narrative that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation want to lecture Americans on it.  These people are a disgrace.  They must think that the rest of America has dementia like their President does. See, also: The terrible unintended consequences of the Biden presidency (unless they were intended) See, also:   ELON VS. OBAMA ...   The Stanford speech was a nearly perfect encapsulation of what is so corrupt about the disinformation discourse—which is, at this moment, frantically being redirected against Musk to ...

In other words, she is saying it is OK for her to lie when she is being an advocate.  It is another example of Biden trying to put people in the government who cannot be trusted to be honest.

Biden's border fiasco is a disgrace.  They have turned the border over to the drug cartels who are making money off of illegal immigration and are murdering Americans with fentanyl. Perhaps this is their plan: Biden’s open border: One of the most successful voter drives in Democrats’ history Automatic registration would negate elements for criminal prosecution

  Fox News: Putin's war on verge of expanding outside Ukraine as it cries 'terrorism' in Moldova   Russia releases statements on Moldova threat that echo claims it made in leadup to Urkainian invasion I suspect that Putin may see it as a softer target after running into a buzzsaw in Ukraine that greatly weakened his military. 

  Fox Business: US economy shrank 1.4% at beginning of 2022, marking worst quarter in 2 years   Economists expected the economy to expand by 1.1%, a marked slowdown from 2021 Continued supply chain problems and record inflation were a bummer in the first three months of the year.  It is not clear why economists expected growth under those circumstances.  It is likely to be an added impediment to Democrats' prospects this year.

 Houston Chronicle: An Austin-area man is offering Elon Musk free land to use for Twitter's headquarters should the billionaire choose to relocate his newly purchased company from San Francisco to Texas. Twitter accepted Musk's deal to buy the social media platform for $44 billion on Monday, which prompted Gov. Greg Abbott to invite the richest man in the world to move its headquarters to the Lone Star State and join three of Musk's other companies. Now Jim Schwertner, president and CEO of Schwertner Farms, is making his own offer to Musk. "Elon Musk, Move Twitter to Schwertner, TX. 38 Miles North of Austin in Williamson County, and we will give you 100 Acres for FREE," Schwertner wrote on Twitter Tuesday. ... Schwertner oversees farming and ranching on 20,000 acres of land just north of Georgetown, according to Austonia's Andrea Guzmán . He said that the move would be a "win-win for everybody," adding that a business like Twitter would bring a lot ...

 Washington Examiner: On one side is a self-made immigrant billionaire who has dedicated his life to fighting climate change. On the other are BlackRock, Saudi Arabia, and Jeff Bezos. Democrats and their paid mouthpieces in the media have chosen to side with the latter. Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of Twitter has been called “dangerous for our democracy” by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley says it is “a concern when an oligarch may be owning the town square." The Bezos-owned  Washington Post  seemed to blame Musk when unnamed accounts launched "racist" attacks on Twitter’s legal, policy, and trust leader, Vijaya Gadde, for her involvement in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election. The question isn’t why liberals so fear Musk, the brains behind the most successful electric car company in history. It’s why they don’t fear those whom Musk is displacing — namely, the worst people in all of woke corporatism. Sure, Tesla’s large Chine...

 ISW: ... The Kremlin continued to prepare for a likely false-flag missile attack against the Moldovan territory of Transnistria, which is illegally occupied by Russian forces. Russian proxies in Transnistria falsely claimed Ukrainian forces are preparing to attack Transnistria, and Ukrainian intelligence reported Russian forces are preparing to conduct a missile strike on Transnistria and blame Ukraine. Russian and Transnistrian forces also increased their readiness for possible operations in the last 24 hours. Russia may intend to involve Transnistria in the war in Ukraine to utilize Transnistria’s (limited) reserve forces or to launch attacks and shell Ukraine from Transnistrian territory. The Kremlin may alternatively seek to destabilize Moldova itself to raise tensions in Moldova and neighboring Romania and put additional pressure on NATO, possibly seeking to reduce Western military support to Ukraine either by diverting NATO forces to Romania or threatening a wider escalation...

 Washington Examiner: H illary Clinton's tweet  touting  Trump-Russia  collusion  claims will not be allowed as evidence in the trial against  Clinton campaign  lawyer Michael Sussmann despite efforts by special counsel John Durham. On Halloween 2016, Clinton  tweeted , “Donald Trump has a secret server ... It was set up to communicate privately with a Putin-tied Russian bank.” Clinton later  tweeted , “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.” She also shared a lengthy statement by then-Clinton campaign adviser, and President Joe Biden's current national security adviser, Jake Sullivan. “This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow,” Sullivan  claimed . "This secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Trump’s ties to Russia.” Sullivan added, “We can only assume that federal authorities will now explore this direct connec...

  Guy Benson @guypbenson A total, complete, sick joke. Having just returned from a reporting trip at the border, I guarantee that the men & women trying to grapple with the crisis down there will seethe over a lie this brazen.
