Highlights of the News
 ITEM 1: Bloomberg News tried to inoculate Biden from bad news on the economic front.
Mini Mike's wire service said, "The U.S. economy’s latest report card -- featuring fresh readouts on growth, inflation, spending and wages in the first three months of the year -- is set to include a mix of good and bad marks."
The story said, "Gross domestic product is expected to have grown at an annualized pace of just 1% in the first quarter, marking a rapid slowdown from the 6.9% pace at the end of 2021. But the deceleration will largely reflect a slower pace of inventory growth and a wider trade deficit, rather than a weakening in consumer and business demand."
One year ago, Bloomberg said “ inflationary psychosis” was the problem, not inflation.
ITEM 2: Politico reported, "Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun told investors on Wednesday said that company executives should not have agreed to then-President Donald Trump’s terms for the Air Force One contract four years ago, citing $660 million in cost overruns in the first quarter of 2022."
Trump got Boeing to eat $660 million.
At the time, Newsweek insisted Trump made a bad deal, saying, "Donald Trump's Air Force One Savings Just Don't Add Up."
Don't worry, Boeing. Biden will make it up to you by ordering a million $660 toilets.
Just remember to give 10% to the Big Guy.
ITEM 3: Joe Scarborough said, "The Democrats have so many opportunities to show just how out of the mainstream the Republicans are, not only in a lot of their legislation in protecting the richest of all Americans, but in their viewpoints about what America means.
"2022 is really going to be a referendum, not on Joe Biden, it’s gonna be a referendum on the Republican Party and the future of the Republican Party especially when you look at some of the people that are running in the primary and some of the horrific things that they are saying."
MSNBC is rolling out the narrative that will camouflage this year's election steal.
ITEM 4: Mike Cernovich tweeted, "The ruble is up and the dollar is down. Seems like this should be a bigger story."
The ruble is worth 1.4 cents.
That's up from 0.7 cents on March 20.
ITEM 5: Axios reported, "Richard Olson, a former U.S. ambassador to Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, has been criminally charged for his alleged role in an undisclosed lobbying campaign for the Qatari government, records show.
"Prosecutors accuse Olson, a career foreign service officer who served as an ambassador under President Barack Obama, of courting foreign work while in office and using his political influence to advance Qatari interests in Washington after leaving government."
Career foreign service officer.
How many more deep state lifers work for the other side? The first lesson of any president is to not trust the intelligence community. The second is to not trust the State Department.
No more Civil Service protection for anyone above GS-9.
ITEM 6: The New York Post reported, "Bronx teen who was let out of jail only to allegedly commit murder is out again."
This is how New Yorkers want to live.
And die.
ITEM 7: Svetlana Shkolnikova of the Stars and Stripes tweeted, "Latest numbers on U.S. service members discharged for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine:
"Army: 345
"Navy: 798
"Air Force: 287
"Marine Corps: 1,968"
Marines are hard "corps."
ITEM 8: Andrew Malcolm tweeted, "Joe Biden's White House holds A 'Roundtable with Lesbian Leaders to Celebrate Lesbian Day of Visibility.' But it wasn't visible to the public because it was closed."
The next Republican president needs to hold a roundtable with homemakers top celebrate Homemakers Day of Visibility.
ITEM 9: Virginia held a March for Life.
Both the governor and lieutenant governor marched.
The tide no longer is turning. It has turned.
ITEM 10: NBC's Marc Caputo tweeted, "Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed an anti-solar bill today, a blow to Florida Power & Light — a literal and figurative power broker in the state."
I don't know if that was meant as a compliment or not.
But it is.
ITEM 11: Biden said, "You have heard me say it many times about our children, but it is true, they’re all our children. And the reason you are the teachers of the year is because you recognize that. They’re not somebody else’s children. They’re like yours when they’re in the classroom."
The pervert-in-chief just made the case for these teachers of the year to go home and groom children.
The problem with having a village raise children is that no one is responsible for the child. No one protects them from the village perverts.
ITEM 12: The Washington Examiner reported, "If the media want conservatives to stop accusing them of left-wing bias, perhaps they should stop giving crystal clear examples of that bias.
"The latest such example comes from Kate Smith. Smith covered abortion and pro-life issues for CBS News for three years. She was previously a reporter for Bloomberg and the Financial Times. But now, miraculously, Smith has joined Planned Parenthood as its senior director of news content."
She did not work for these organizations so much as she infiltrated them. CBS paid an abortion activist to cover abortion.
ITEM 13: The Daily Mail reported, "Disney has hit back at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over his decision to strip the Reedy Creek Improvement District of special privileges, saying that there is a clause in its original contract that stipulates the state is responsible for its $2 billion bond debt."
The increase in Disney's property taxes will cover the mortgage -- and more.
ITEM 14: The Sun reported, "Prince Andrew has been stripped of another honour after the city of York agreed to remove his title as Honorary Freeman.
"The under-fire royal was given the freedom of the city of York in a lavish ceremony in 1987, shortly after his marriage to Sarah Ferguson."
He should lose all his freedom. Period.
ITEM 15: Roger Friedman reported, "The Love Shack is Closing: B-52s Announce Final Tour After 45 Years of Fun."
You're what?
"Hangry!"
ITEM 16: Life News reported, "A woman running for the Minnesota state Senate was forced to drop out of the race because she had to leave her party’s convention to give birth, The Washington Post reported Monday.
"Erin Maye Quade went into labor on Saturday morning, the same day Minnesota‘s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party delegates came together to choose their candidate for November, the Post reported."
Going into labor cost her the Labor Party nomination.
But hey, Democrats are for women.
And children,
ITEM 17: Axios reported, "New data from a March 2022 pitch deck shows CNN+ executives projected that within the next decade, CNN+ would be more profitable than the company's cable arm today — which currently drives abound $500 million in annual profit."
The story said, "Executives bucketed CNN+'s potential audience into three groups, with various models of overlap:
29 million CNN super fans.24 million news and non-fiction SVOD (subscription video on demand) fans.36 million global news consumers (people who already paid for a news subscription).
"CNN+ research estimated that 70% of CNN+ subscribers could be bundled with HBO Max over time."
What in the heck were they smoking?
FINALLY, Based Politics reported, "Study Finds Burglaries Dropped in Area Known to Have More Gun Permits."
Now you know why Democrats oppose private gun ownership. |
