Virginia Supreme Court Denies Democrat Motion to Impose Gerrymandered Map During the Hearings Over Its Legality Comey Indicted for Threating Trump's Life with "8645" Post?
—Disinformation Expert Ace
This is not a final order. But the Democrats wanted to implement the illegal map during the period when the Virginia Supreme Court is considering it, and the Virginia Supreme Court refused.
A court's refusal to grant these interlocutory and injunctive motions often, but not always, tips the way the court imagines the ultimate ruling will go.
Let's do a two-in-one: Reports say that James Comey has been re-indicted -- a leftwing judge quashed the last one -- for his "8645" Instagram post, which seems to be an incitement to murder Trump.

@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: @FoxNews colleague @davidspunt reports that former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted again in relation to his "8647" seashell post on Instagram last year.
I don't know if anyone really gets arrested or imprisoned for inciting a murder of Trump -- Obama, sure, but not Trump. The leftwing media spends all day inciting murder.
The odds of conviction are better, I think, if they can cast this as a threat to kill Trump, but I don't know if that argument would win. If I say that someone should take out James Comey, that's not me actually threatening him.
And by the way, I never would have said something like that, even as a hypothetical, before this week, but as the left is now engaged in open incitement of violence I'm done being super-careful about my own language.
Comey’s second indictment is in connection with this photo, which he claims he took in North Carolina. Hopefully that is also the jurisdiction where the case was brought, because if so, it will be a far less favorable setting for him than in D.C. pic.twitter.com/w5xPe2wRPp

Fauci Advisor David Morens -- Whom Biden Forgot to Pardon -- Arrested and Charged for Conspiracy and Destruction of Federal Records Related to Fauci's COVID Cover-Up Update! Is Peter Daszak Next?!
Dr. David M. Morens, a former top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci, was arrested and charged Tuesday with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in one of the first cases to allege a cover-up in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The charges -- brought by the FBI, Justice Department and the U.S. Health and Human Services inspector general -- allege the former senior scientific adviser at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Fauci led for 38 years, committed conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.
Morens, 78, of Chester, Md., served as a senior advisor in NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 through 2022, the year Fauci retired.
...
The filing of the charges was immediately praised by two powerful investigative chairmen in Congress who had alleged Morens was destroying records and using private email to keep information about the coronavirus and its origins from Congress.
"More than two years ago, my PSI staff discovered and made public emails in which Dr. David Morens bragged to colleagues about his efforts to avoid transparency by destroying federal records and using his personal email to communicate on 'sensitive issues,'" said Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
...
"The House Oversight Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic uncovered evidence revealing Dr. Morens -- a top advisor to Dr. Fauci -- intentionally took action to conceal and falsify records about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic," Comer said. "We caught Dr. Morens red-handed as he boasted in emails about how the 'FOIA lady' coached him on how to hide records and cover-up information. I applaud the Trump Justice Department for taking action to hold this public official accountable for hiding information from the American people. No one is above the law and under the Trump Administration, overdue accountability is finally here."
I believe Morens bragged about deliberately misspelling key words in emails so that when his records were subpoenaed -- and remember, when records are subpoenaed, only those records containing keywords approved by a judge are actually searched for, so if you deliberately misspell "COVID" as "CVOID" it won't be found -- his nefarious schemes to bury evidence that COVID was created by his pals at the Wuhan lab wouldn't be found.
The indictment alleges that Morens:
Conspired with two others during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud and commit several offenses against the United States after NIH terminated a grant called Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.
Conspired with others to restore the termination of the bat coronavirus grant and counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab.
Agreed in writing to intentionally hide from public view their communications by corresponding using Morens's personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH email account.
Received a gratuity in the form of wine for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," and identified an official act that he could perform to "deserve" the gift, which was a scientific commentary in a prominent medical journal advocating that COVID-19 had natural origins.
Update!: Fauci's butt-buddy in corruption, Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth who was used as a cut-out to illegally fund the Wuhan lab, is almost certainly the man the indictment calls "CO-CONSPIRATOR," and should be the next to be arrested and charged.
Daszak is the co-conspirator here. His indictment should be next. I didn’t think we’d ever see it, but accountability for the Covid origin cover up has finally arrived. Incredible. https://t.co/uWYIe1tX6Opic.twitter.com/lX7O6WdTCD

The Morning Rant: NATO...An Idea Whose Time Is Past
—CBD
The population of the countries comprising NATO is about 980 million people. If one subtracts the population of the United States, it is about 635 million people, or 1.8X the population of the United States. Yet the NATO countries spend far less per capita on their militaries (≈$975) than does the USA (≈$2,800), and far less in absolute terms; the USA spends about 1.6X what the rest of NATO spends. And it is actually worse, because a portion of America's defense budget is spent in Europe, maintaining our bases and paying our personnel, whereas Europe's infrastructure and personnel expenditure is primarily domestic.
Of course they use the money we spend and they don't on a cradle-to-grave welfare state that has crippled most of Europe and turned a once great region into a post-modern mess of accommodation, hatred of nationalism and patriotism, massive guilt for their previous success, and worst of all, a simmering hatred of all things American ... including our military!
In addition to the ridiculous imbalance in defense spending, not all of the member states of NATO are comfortable with its mutual defense requirements. In fact, Spain is unabashedly anti-American, and refused use of its American bases for the effort against the mad Mullahs of Iran. Turkey's loyalties are suspect because of its close relationships with countries and movements that are explicitly anti-American, anti-West, and support Islamic expansionism. Italy has also refused the use of Sigonella Air Base in Sicily, and France has restricted flights over its territory.
The reality is that NATO and Europe are happy to benefit from our underwriting of their defense, but are unwilling to perform the basic functions of allies, including even pro forma participation in an effort to destroy the nuclear aspirations of a country that is an avowed enemy of the West and has stated explicitly for the last 47 years that its goal is the destruction of the West and the ushering in of an Islamic state. And let us not forget its less lofty goals of supporting Islamic terrorism across the world that has killed thousands, including in Europe!
The benefit of NATO for America has clearly faded, and the costs are simply too much to bear. The original function has been subsumed in a mass of bureaucratic waste, competing national priorities, and most of all the shrinking of the world-wide Soviet threat into a regional player that can't project its military might more than 100 miles into its neighbor.
Should we leave NATO? Yes. Is it politically possible? Probably not, but the administration, through the Department of War can reorient our NATO effort to one more focused on real strategic threats and in countries that are less virulently and reflexively anti-American. In other words...punish our enemies and reward our friends. And if that means moving our bases from Spain and the UK and Italy to Israel and Poland, then so be it.
It is no longer the responsibility of the American taxpayer to buttress European defense. Their economies are successful enough to fund it without our assistance, although they are welcome to purchase our military technology if they are capable of keeping it out of the hands of the Chinese and the Russians.
Perhaps we can sell them our bases!

Good morning kids, the third attempted assassination of President Trump and in this instance as many of his cabinet members and advisers that were close enough to him at the WHCD will no doubt be the top story at least through the end of the week. Or until the Fifth Columnist Fourth Estate exhausts itself in its attempt to evade its responsibility in painting President Trump as an "Imperial" president and literally Hitler. With that is casting over half the country as racist Nazi white supremacists. Again, if this President were even a fraction as tyrannical and despotic as the Democrat/Leftists have historically been for over 200 years, that party and everyone in its base would've been smoke up a crematorium chimney or worm food in a mass grave long, long ago.
Compare and contrast. Charlie Kirk, a vocal, passionate and effective opponent of Leftism, who sought to defeat them, via civilized debate because he respected their right to express their opinions in a free and open society and let people decide for themselves.
The Democrat Left on the other hand could not allow that and so Charlie Kirk is in an early grave. Meanwhile vermin like Puce Stinkspleen and Jimmy Kimmel can spout the most vile abuse and blood libels at the President and First Lady with impunity knowing full well that the odds of them being in any kind of mortal peril is essentially zero. More likely they'd be praised for "speaking truth to power" (vomit) from all quarters of the Left. And again, not only do they have nothing to really fear from normal Americans of every stripe, from those who are MAGA all the way to just regular folk, there are those who have condemned the calls for Kimmel to be taken off the air and censored. I am fiercely pro free speech but at some point there is a line that we dare not cross that ventures into actual incitement.
In fairness, I'll be the first to admit that some of my rhetoric might, MIGHT, be interpreted by some as getting close to that line. The difference is, I have history and facts to back up my rhetoric in calling out the Democrat/Left for who and what they are.
Taking a shot at the king, whether with a gun or even rhetorically usually resulted in one's head on a pike.
Beyond that, despite Kimmel et al who have railed against Trump for years now still have platforms and worse, followers who will never abandon them and echo their poisonous bilge. As repulsive as they all are, I say let them speak and hopefully foist themselves on their own petards when they lose their audiences and influence.
But of course, they will never countenance open debate because they look upon us and our leaders as an evil to be eradicated. Always have, always will.
With now the third serious assassination attempt against President Trump on the books, it is an important juncture to examine the intellectual gleischaltung that encourages American society and global society to view Republican Presidents as the height of all evil. More than Kim Jong Un of North Korea, more than Vladimir Putin of Russia, more than Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, more than Chairman Xi of China, Republican Presidents are rhetorically imbued with intrinsic evil that requires all available means of persuasion -- including assassination. Since the assassination of Lincoln, the press and academic culture have worked together to create a sense of moral purpose in killing Republican presidents. On July 11, 2007, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Betty Williams gave the keynote speech to the International Women’s Peace Conference in Dallas, Texas, and said (to laughter and applause from the audience):“I mean right now, I could kill George Bush, no problem. No, I don’t mean that. I mean -- how could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.” As a Republican President, George W. Bush was subjected to a media and academic character assassination regimen that drove his approval into the 20s before he left office in 2009. A Methodist minister, Charles Moore hated President Bush so much that he immolated himself at Grand Saline, Texas in 2014. He expressed written regret that he lacked the courage to burn himself alive on the campus of SMU where George W. Bush’s Presidential library is located.
Republican Presidents who were assassinated or subjected to attempted assassination include: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Ironically, the most well-known presidential assassination was certainly that of John F. Kennedy, a Democrat president killed by a sniper assassin. The rhetoric surrounding this 1963 event provides insight into the enduring anti-Republican ethic of the American public sphere. Lee Harvey Oswald almost certainly killed President Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. One of the most treasured canards of American history is a vast array of conspiracy theories that seek to exonerate Oswald...
...Our intellectual and academic culture is dangerously creating violent pro-assassination rhetoric that is creating this cultish desire to kill President Trump. It is not only dangerous to the United States but also the Democrat Party that offers itself as the primary point of peaceful opposition to President Trump. Revered Democrat strategist James Carville recently commended his own ‘trump derangement syndrome,’: "I hate the motherf-----. And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it [TDS]. I don't want to get better. I want to get worse. I want to hate him more."
James Carville is not the equivalent of an unknown goat-herding/boffing head-chopper holed up in a cave in Tora Bora. He is a major Democrat/Leftist political leader - a Grand Imam genuflecting before the Mecca space rock. And the true believers, and they constitute hundreds of thousands if not millions of our fellow citizens (in name only!) eat this up day in and day out.
... And in 2020, Kamala Harris said of the left’s riots, “They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that on both levels. They’re not going to let up and they should not and we should not.”
They haven’t. If anything, they’ve stepped on the gas. Why? Because as the great David Horowitz memorably quipped, “Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”
As Trump continues the painstaking work of dismantling the left’s clandestine power structure, the totalitarians will continue to get out and make themselves known. The Democrat Party is today the party of authoritarianism and violence. This is not an aberration or a momentary case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. This is what the party is at its heart.
And so, what is to be done?

From @lukerosiak: Biden's SBA hid that it was giving $90 million in loans to Planned Parenthood by referring to Planned Parenthood as "Benghazi" in emails.
It was ruled that Planned Parenthood was ineligible for SBA loans -- so Biden officials granted those loans anyway, claiming the loans went to... "Benghazi"?
Biden administration officials may have broken the law by concealing small business loans to Planned Parenthood, a senator said Monday.
Small Business Administration officials disbursed and forgave loans to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates even after the agency determined that the group is not a small business that would be eligible. Top officials, including Biden SBA Administrator Isabella Guzman, concealed their maneuvering on the topic by substituting the words Planned Parenthood with "Benghazi" in emails, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who chairs the committee that oversees the agency, revealed Monday.
"We now know that after the SBA Biden officials met, planned and strategized (over 'Benghazi'), keeping the White House involved, approximately $90 million in Planned Parenthood SBA PPP loans and interest on the loans were forgiven by the Biden administration," she said.
Ernst asked the Department of Justice to investigate the officials under a statute that says anyone who attempts to conceal a federal record can be imprisoned for up to three years, according to a letter first obtained by The Daily Wire.

Melania posted on X Monday, "Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country.

That is exactly what we see across the political left in America now, a sickness that has pervaded not only their politics, but their minds and their morals as well.

Then, Melania continued by challenging the networks that platform such incredibly dangerous rhetoric. "People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him," she said. "Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community."
I like her spirit, but the Disney Goomer Network is all about stirring murderous hate against normies and transing children.
"Although we don't yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it's incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy," Obama wrote on X. "It's also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I'm grateful to them -- and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay."
There's just one huge problem with Obama's statement. We already knew the shooter's motive at this point. Obama posted his statement at 5:15 p.m. EDT on Sunday, and the shooter's manifesto and its contents were first published late Sunday morning.
I just mentioned this tactic of deception last week -- liberals claim "we don't know the details" as a way to pretend they don't know the basics. If you challenge them later, and prove, as it is proven here, they knew most of the motive, they will say "Well I said I didn't know all of the details. What, you're criticizing me for not jumping the gun?"
Since then, we learned all of the details.

I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.
I don't expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.
On to why I did any of this:
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
What my representatives do reflects on me.
And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.
(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it.)
While I'm discussing this, I'll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I'm not military so too bad.)
Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest
Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they're wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren't*
Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)
Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security
National Guard: same as Hotel Security
Hotel Employees: not targets at all
Guests: not targets at all
In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)
I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn't come to that.
Rebuttals to objections:
Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.
Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped in a detention camp. I'm not the fisherman executed without trial. I'm not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.
Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor's crimes.
Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.
Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn't about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be "inconvenient" for people who aren't the victim?
This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.
Objection 3: You didn't get them all.
Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.
Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn't be the one doing this.
Rebuttal: I don't see anyone else picking up the slack
Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.)
Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.
Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.
Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.
Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.
Thank you to the many acquaintances I've met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.
Thank you all for everything.
Sincerely,
Cole "coldForce" "Friendly Federal Assassin" Allen
PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.
Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they're pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security.
Not in transport.
Not in the hotel.
Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.
Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it's corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.
Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.
Actually insane.
Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it's awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.
Bill Maher drags his woke guest out of his liberal bubble and tells him to his face he's why Kamala Harris lost.
It all started when David Cross revealed his 9-year-old daughter has "trans friends."
"Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?" Maher asked.
Cross replied: "Yep," as if it's completely normal and something society should embrace.
That's when Maher dropped the hammer and told him straight up that no, somebody's doing something to that little girl.
Cross immediately got defensive, but Maher refused to back down.
He told Cross that believing a 9-year-old girl is deciding to be trans on her own is exactly the kind of liberal insanity that lost Kamala Harris the election in 2024.
And if Democrats keep it up, JD Vance is going to win in 2028.
By the end of this exchange, Cross is left sitting there looking like a deer in headlights, like he's never been challenged on "trans kids" in his life.
This is a moment worth watching, but if you're somewhere you can't play it, the transcript is below:
MAHER: "You need to be checked. People need to be checked... including your little girl."
CROSS: "Fck that btch. (joking) Fck that little btch with her black friends and trans friends and not even understanding."
MAHER: "Trans?! Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?"
CROSS: "Yep."
MAHER: "They know they're trans in third grade?"
CROSS: "Just the coolest kid."
MAHER: "[Is kid transitioning from] girl to boy?"
CROSS: "Girl to boy. And she has another very close friend who's not in the school, but who's boy to girl at three years old."
MAHER: "A woman said [to me] 'I was what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that's what they would have done to me.'"
CROSS: "Well, nobody's doing this to her."
MAHER: "Well, I don't know."
CROSS: "Literally nobody is doing this to her."
MAHER: "How old?"
CROSS: "She is -- or HE is -- either eight or I think nine."
MAHER: "Okay, then somebody is doing something because eight or nine-year-olds can't do anything on their own."
CROSS: "No, they're buying them boys' clothes."
MAHER: "Well then, they're doing something."
CROSS: "Sure. Yes, you're right. They're buying them boys' clothes."
MAHER: "And telling them you're a boy now."
CROSS: "No, no, they're not telling them. They're just agreeing with [them]."
MAHER: "Agreeing with an 8-year-old. Because when has their judgment ever been off at 8?"
CROSS: "You know you knew you weren't gay, right?"
MAHER: "Yeah, that's different."
CROSS: "It's not different."
MAHER: "It is different. Good luck with President Vance. Because, as I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You're just why she lost and this is a case of that."
CROSS: "Wait, what?"
MAHER: "We voted for the same person..."
CROSS: "Right."
MAHER: "You're just why she lost. Because America hears this, and they're going to go, 'Bill's right. Eight-year-olds can't really make decisions on their own like this.' That's what most people are going to say."
Bill Maher drags his woke guest out of his liberal bubble and tells him to his face he’s why Kamala Harris lost.

Iran gave the U.S. a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, with nuclear negotiations postponed for a later stage, according to a U.S. official and two sources with knowledge.
Oh great, we get to end the embargo and end offensive actions against Iran, and they get to keep their nuke program.
What a great proposal. We've never had a great proposal from Iran like this before, except for the last thirty years.
Why it matters: The diplomacy is in a stalemate, and the Iranian leadership is divided about what nuclear concessions should be on the table. The Iranian proposal would bypass that issue en route to a faster deal.
But lifting the blockade and ending the war would remove President Trump's leverage in any future talks to remove Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and convince Tehran to suspend enrichment -- two primary war objectives for Trump.
What to watch: Trump is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting on Iran on Monday with his top national security and foreign policy team, according to three U.S. officials.
...
Trump signaled in an interview with Fox News on Sunday that he wants to continue the naval blockade that is choking off Iran's oil exports, hoping it will get Tehran to cave over the next few weeks.
"When you have vast amounts of oil pouring through your system ... if for any reason this line is closed because you can't put it into containers or ships ... what happens is that line explodes from within. ... They say they only have about three days before that happens," Trump said.
Marco Rubio also declared that Iran's idea that "opening the Strait" means that they get to decide who can transit the strait and collect tolls from them is a non-starter.

When the Bullets Stopped Flying, Alcoholic "Journalist" Karens Focused On What Really Matters, and Looted 147 Wine Bottles from the Venue
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Incredible. Give yourselves all a media award for Stunning Bravery.
Peter Girnus 🦅
@gothburz
I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.
The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.
A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.
Everything else was improvised.
I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.
What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.
I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.
She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.
The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.
The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.
That's priority.
The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.
A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.
That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.
I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.
I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.
188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.
A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped a political bomb on Monday, unveiling a new congressional map for Florida that he says will finally give the Sunshine State the representation it deserves -- and if it holds up, Republicans could walk away with four additional U.S. House seats heading into the 2026 midterms.
The proposal is a mid-decade redraw of Florida's congressional districts, and it's already getting a friendly reception. Republicans control both chambers of the Florida legislature, so passage is more a matter of when than if. Once the map clears the House and Senate, it comes back to DeSantis for his signature.
The governor has been telegraphing this move for a while, and he's not shy about explaining why. Florida was "shortchanged" in the 2020 Census, DeSantis argues, despite explosive population growth and a seismic shift in the state's political landscape. The state has gone from a Democratic voter-registration advantage to a 1.5-million Republican edge -- a transformation that the current congressional map simply doesn't reflect.
"Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we've been fighting for fair representation ever since," DeSantis said.
But his argument isn't just political -- he's also making a constitutional case. The existing district lines, he contends, were drawn based on race, and that's a problem. "Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited," DeSantis said, framing the remap as both a legal correction and a democratic one.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has released a draft congressional map ahead of the state's special redistricting session.
Compared to the current map (left), the new map (right) would eliminate as many as 4 Democratic representatives - 2 in central Florida and 2 in south Florida. pic.twitter.com/rdVKUGQi7M
That image makes it look like there's just one Democrat district, but there are four. There are three on the east coast which aren't visible because the image is cropped on the right.
Hakeem Jeffries, the nephew of black supremacist and cuckoo racial conspiracy theorist Leonard Jeffries, is threatening to come to Florida to campaign against the map.
DeSantis begs him to come. He says he'll put him up in the Governor's Mansion, because nothing would animate Republicans more than seeing this jackass invading their state.

Meanwhile, Leonard Jeffries' nephew is threatening the Virginia Supreme Court, which is now hearing arguments over the illegal Virginia gerrymander: Rule the way we want or else.

It's like he's trying to scare them into bending the knee.

New Documents: FBI Opened and Then Immediately Closed a Fakey-Fake "Inquiry" Into the Clinton Foundation's Obvious Pay-for-Play Scheme with Foreign Governments
This morning Sen. Chuck Grassley released the FBI Washington Field Office's 12-page "electronic communication" (EC) that opened a preliminary investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Its extensive evidence of potential pay-to-play criminality among the Clinton family confirms the politicalization and weaponization of the Department of Justice.
Late last year, another trove of documents--also released by Grassley--summarized the origins of three separate FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation, opened respectively out of the New York, Little Rock, and Washington D.C. field offices. As The Federalist reported at that time, those documents indicated that Ray Hulser, then head of the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section (PIN), did not support the investigations into the Clinton Foundation and withheld information from the U.S. attorney's office running the probe out of Little Rock.
...
Hulser's refusal to open an investigation out of PIN, and his excuse that the FBI presented the case "poorly," just cannot be reconciled with the detailed summary contained in the EC that is now public. As Grassley highlighted in a letter sent today to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, "Included in the FBI's EC are numerous allegations of foreign influence concerns that arose 'from speaking fees and donations to the [Clinton] Foundation.'"
The Iowa senator then pulls a few examples from the Washington Field Office's opening communication, beginning with donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million from the then-head of the Russia government's uranium company, Uranium One.
The EC is not limited to evidence about Uranium One. It also details evidence of donations to the Clinton Foundation from an executive of Polo Resources. Eight weeks later, it says, the U.S. ambassador to Bangladesh persuaded the prime minister to reauthorize pit mining, including one in which Polo Resources had an interest. Another section of the EC highlights evidence suggesting a pay-to-play scheme involving Colombian timber and another Clinton Foundation donor.
The FBI EC also notes that Hillary Clinton traveled to Russia, where she allegedly prompted >o?"Russian officials to enter into a $3.7 billion aircraft purchase with Boeing," then two months later Boeing pledged $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation.>o? The EC further discussed the Haitian government awarding Hillary Clinton's brother a "rare 'gold exception permit' (the first issued in 50 years)...during the same time period in which 'billions of U.S. tax dollars had been spent in Haiti, following the Haitian earthquake in 2010.'"
What--if anything--the FBI did to investigate these additional potential pay-to-play schemes before the Department of Justice closed the investigations in 2016 is unclear. What we do know, though, is that after Donald Trump's election in 2016, Little Rock was able to reopen its investigation, but Hulser and the Department of Justice continued to interfere in the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
And of course this pudgy Talent Vacuum also staged a counter-roast on ABC, and lusted for the death of Trump minutes before one his correligionists tried to kill him.
Can you even imagine someone saying this about Michelle Obama during Obama's presidency? How did we get here? https://t.co/0e2k72XAVQ
Norah O'Donnell Attempts to Convince Trump (and Her Viewers, of Course) That the Killer Was Right to Try to Kill Him

President Donald Trump just obliterated Norah O'Donnell on 60 Minutes after she tried to smear POTUS with the vile attacks contained within the WHCD shooter's manifesto.
Trump FIGHTS BACK, concluding by calling O'Donnell "disgraceful."
O'Donnell: The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, "Administration officials, they are targets." And he also wrote this, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." What's your reaction to that?
Trump: Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're, you're, you're horrible people, horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.
O'Donnell Oh, you think, you think he was referring to you?
Trump: Excuse me, excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person. I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let's say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview and they'll probably-- I read the manifesto. You know, he's a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. And I was never--excuse me, excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 Minutes. You're a disgrace. But go ahead, let's finish the interview.

THE MORNING RANT: Senator John Cornyn is learning that “Trust me, I’m lying” doesn’t work like it used to
—Buck Throckmorton
“Trust me, I’m lying” is a formerly effective campaign strategy that is no longer very effective. Unfortunately for Senator John Cornyn (RINO – TX), it’s all he has left to promise in his desperate attempt to win a 5th term of betraying Texas Republicans.
The way “Trust me, I’m lying” is supposed to work is that a politician lies to the voters back home about positions the voters care about (border security, 2nd Amendment, ballot integrity, etc.) Meanwhile, the politician’s true constituency – the Washington establishment - knows that their candidate is being necessarily dishonest with voters to get re-elected.
Unfortunately for Senator Cornyn, he has a long record of being open-border, anti-MAGA, anti-Trump, anti-2nd Amendment, anti-ballot integrity, and generally working to ensure that the Senate never addresses actual problems that voters expect to be addressed. His recent attempts at “Trust me, I’m lying”are having the opposite of the intended effect. Conservative voters know he’s lying, while the Democrat & RINO crossover voters he could formerly count on are drifting to Talarico as Cornyn offends them by posturing as an actual conservative.
Cornyn has been stating during this campaign that he opposes an open border and amnesty, telling the El Paso Times a few weeks ago that, “The first thing we need to do is secure the border. There is no way that the American people, and certainly my constituents in Texas, would allow us to take another stab at reforming our immigration laws until we’ve got the border secure.” Everyone knows he’s lying by now - he’s been elected four times to the US Senate by lying to Texans about border security. But his campaign made a mistake. While they have done a good job scrubbing their campaign site of English-language speeches where he advocated for open borders and amnesty, they didn’t scrub the Spanish-language videos from his You Tube page.
The indefatigable Scott Presler just found Spanish-language video from 2020 of John Cornyn promising amnesty to illegal aliens.
SCOOP
In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube
where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens.
It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff.
As documented by Texas Scorecard, “The video, which was previously available on his official YouTube channel, was quickly removed after circulation on social media.” Unfortunately for Team Cornyn, the video is still flying around the internet thanks to Mr. Presler.
Perhaps the biggest issue involving the Senate right now is the “SAVE Act,” which would use the force of power of federal law to eradicate much of the nationwide ballot fraud. Real conservative Ken Paxton is challenging Cornyn in the Republican senate primary, and Paxton is promising to eliminate the “zombie filibuster” so as to pass the SAVE Act. Cornyn, of course, has pretended that he supports the SAVE Act while hiding behind the zombie filibuster’s 60-vote threshold to make sure it doesn’t actually happen. As Presler and so many others have pointed out, the real filibuster is still an option, requiring only 50-votes.
In desperation, Cornyn tried the “Trust me, I’m lying” tactic regarding the filibuster, too. His campaign put out a tweet stating that, ”I support using the talking filibuster & making any changes necessary to Senate rules to get this passed.”
��I just voted for the SAVE America Act, & I support using the talking filibuster & making any changes necessary to Senate rules to get this passed.
I am glad that the Senate will debate this bill & hold Democrats’ feet to the fire to see who is willing to go on record opposing… https://t.co/tpsjHkZXr6
Because Cornyn had previously stated that eliminating the no-debate filibuster would be ”taking a wrecking ball to Senate rules,”an NBC reporter confronted Cornyn on his sudden about-face. With his contradictory positions being exposed by a media reporter, how did Cornyn explain the contradiction? He didn’t. He shoved his hand in the face of the reporter and told her ”I think we’re through. Go away.”
Reporter (Brennan Leach): You previously said that nuking the filibuster would be taking a wrecking ball to Senate rules. Is that no longer true?
Sen. John Cornyn: Um, I said I’d be open to reforms.
Reporter: What would you say to those who say you just changed your mind to win the President’s endorsement?
Sen. John Cornyn: I would say that’s not true.
Reporter: You also said—
Sen. John Cornyn: (interrupting, raising hand to block the camera) I think we’re through. Go away. Thank you.
(Cornyn then walks into an elevator as the clip ends.)
Cornyn is about to be retired. Maybe other politicians will finally learn that ”Trust me, I’m lying” also needs to be retired as a political strategy.

Good morning kids, We are overloaded with links this morning as we kick off the last week of April and the overwhelming majority of course are about the failed third assassination attempt on President Trump over the weekend at the White House Correspondents Dinner. There are links peppered across almost every section of the Morning Report. Despite the Leftist/terrorist, (please pardon that redundancy, because let's face it that's what he is) releasing his manifesto just prior to his attack, perhaps the most ridiculous commentary came from the horrid purple lipped dog hole of Barack Obama:
Former President Barack Obama insisted Sunday the “details” of the motives of an armed man who allegedly tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner were unknown, hours after a media outlet published the suspect’s manifesto.
“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents [sic] Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy,” Obama wrote. “It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.”
I refuse to quote this evil Leftist degenerate but hE/it's extensively quoted in virtually every link where you can read for yourself the litany of slanders and blood libels hurled at our President.
There was nothing radical about Cole Tomas Allen: the attempted White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassin. Allen’s manifesto reads a lot like that of the previous three-named assassin Ryan Wesley Routh who was stalking President Trump at a golf game. . . There’s a vagueness to the litany that suggests Allen had a weak grip on where these supposed things were even happening and what the connection to it was beyond justifying his attack.
Rather than Marxism, Routh and Allen offered tepid shopworn liberalism as their justification for murder, “U.S presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity” and “the United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.”
. . . Allen and Routh's views were generally those of mainstream liberal Democrats. They were no more extreme than your average MSNBC viewer. Probably even a smidgen more moderate. And they were probably no more radical than the average committed Democrat.
This is not some grassroots phenomenon but the messaging from the top down of the party and its media apparatus. That&'s why Allen’s views are entirely reflective of their rhetoric. He wasn't a Marxist, a Communist or a Socialist… his views were those of the mainstream of his party. (The amount of distance between the Democrats and the Marxists of course is rapidly shrinking.)
But Allen didn't try to kill Trump and members of his administration officials in the name of socialized medicine, a command economy, the working class or any affirmative leftist cause.
He did it because he had been brainwashed into believing he was stopping Hitler 2.0. . .
. . . But the record number of assassinations shows that they have created a party of assassins. Those who have created a party of assassins bear the ultimate responsibility for the violence.
A Party of Assassins cannot offer America anything except murder, treason and death.
So then, what is to be done about a party of assassins? The bitter irony here is that the deranged motivations to kill President Trump and to physically wipe out all of us who either support him or at a bare minimum simply disagree, openly or secretly, oppose Democrats via normal political discourse and processes and debate (when/if permitted), are or would be the sane choice we may yet have to make to stop the very real existential threat to our lives, liberty and nation.
I hate the Left not only for what they are, believe and what they have done to this nation virtually unchecked for at least the past 70 years and indeed our entire history, but for what they may one day force us to visit upon their collective head, not out of revenge but out of simple self-preservation.
Have a great day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

“I have no personal problem with Donald Trump at all,” Raskin fired back. “I mean, I talk about the policies of this administration, the authoritarianism, like we saw on display in Minneapolis, where two of our citizens were gunned down in the streets simply for exercising their First Amendment rights: Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others have died in custody.” Watch Dem Rep Jamie Raskin’s Deer-In-Headlights Reaction To Suggestion To Turn Down Anti-Trump Rhetoric
The document, which a family member provided to law enforcement, outlined Allen’s plan to target Trump administration officials in order of rank while carving out an exception for FBI Director Kash Patel, The New York Post (NYP) reported. “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote in the manifesto, according to the NYP.

It's been a while since we've had a big tech news story. No disasters, no miracles. Things haven't suddenly gotten better - or at least, not much, and they haven't gotten drastically worse.
The company PocketOS was using the AI tool Cursor to do some routine maintenance in their staging environment. Cursor found a problem and decided to fix it. To fix it it decided to... Delete the database and all backups.
Okay, not the end of the world; it's the staging environment, not the production environment.
Right?
Oh.
You might ask why they gave Cursor access to the production environment when it was only supposed to be working on staging, and the answer is, they didn't. It hunted around the files it did have access to until it found an API key, and it used that.
On top of that, the hosting service they were using only had snapshots, not independent backups. Delete the database volume (virtual disk) and all the snapshots disappear as well.
The hosting service did manage to recover the volume, though it took some time and was not something a user could do themselves. Remember folks, it's not backed up until you have three copies, in two different formats, on two continents.
The new model is substantially more powerful while being a 100% precise hardware emulation of the original, using an FPGA - basically a chip that you reprogram its circuitry on the fly. But if you reprogram it wrong you could end up with a moderately expensive (the Commodore 64 Ultimate starts at $325) brick.
But it will void your warranty, so brick at your own risk.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.
Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
