THE MORNING RANT: The Only New “Records” Involving Tornadoes Are Record Hysteria and Record Media Coverage
In fact, it was within the past decade that NOAA recorded the longest stretch of days without an EF3 or stronger tornado. There were 306 days between such strong tornadoes in the US, stretching from May 2017 to March 2018.

The Morning Report — 5/31/24
Good morning, kids. Obviously the completely unsurprising guilty verdict against DonaldTrump leads the news this morning. 34 separate counts of what amounts to a spurious writ of attainder for the non crime of paying off a blackmailer with a perfectly legal non-disclosure agreement to shut up and go away was magically transmogrified into the illegal use of campaign funds (despite being personal funds) and tarted up as some sort of election interference/rigging charge, which is rich considering the entire intelligence and national security apparatus was at the beck and call of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats to invent the Russia collusion hoax along with bury the actual criminality of Joe Biden and his family in his illicit dealings with Ukraine via Burisma and the color revolution that overthrew their legitimately elected president that along other things led to the Ukraine War in which said junta is itching to start World War 3 with Putin. But I digress. YEs, what happened testerday though, unsurprising is still disgusting in its implications for how lowwe have sunk as a society for many decades now if not perhaps longer. I've said it many times before but what happened yesterday merely serves to underscore the fact that what we need is an American counter-revolution that utterly eviscerates the moral, societal and ethical decay that has brought us to the brink of disaster, if we're not on the precipice of the abyss as it is. Blaming the jurors for yesterday's travesty misses the mark. The amorality of those who seek our submission and enslavement for a variety of reasons from the venal to the ideological and everything in between is why we got where we are. Examine the soulless vacuity of the lives of every Leftist in academia, and the government who have held sway over us lo these many many decades. And that is where you can get an inkling into the mindset of by any means necessary. If Alvin Bragg had the tiniest scintilla of morality and ethics he never would have been party to this. And remember, he ran for NY DA on a platform of nailing Donald Trump for anything. real or imagined, as was the case here. I know there are many who have personal misgivings about Donald Trump, which in this case and really in most cases are ridiculous. And yet, for whatever reasons that he emerged in 2015 to open so many eyes as to the corruption of all levels of government, he succeeded wildly at the very least in exposing it. It remains to be seen what the effect of this man will be on America or what's left of it going forward, be it his persecutions or even perhaps a still to be determined political comeback? The fact that donations have been so massive to him in the wake of what happened yesterday that they crashed his website perhaps is an indicator? Will he or anyone with his mission and mindset to make America great again ever even be afforded the opportunity? Forget about making America great Again. What we need is to make America America again! As I said by any means necessary is strategy and tactic of the anti-American, savages, tuyrants and goons who seek our destruction. I have to say, I'm at that point where it's high time we are going to have to embrace that slogan in every aspect of our lives if we are ever to be blessed by the Lord in Heaven to have the chance at a renaissance of freedom, enlightenment and human advancement that was the dream and vision of our founders and the hallmark of American exceptionalism. That is, a society that was the exception to everything that came before it since time immemorial. It's up to each of us to be a spark of individual revolution in how we think, act and bring up those who will come after us. God-forbid yet another wasted generation of keffiyah wearing communists who will slit our throats in the name of any cockamamie heathen cause and blood-libel,

Sometimes unexpected but dramatic events tear off the thin veneer of respectability and convention. What follows is the exposure and repudiation of long-existing but previously covered-up pathologies. The public still cannot digest the truth that the once respected FBI partnered with social media to suppress news stories, to surveil parents at school board meetings, and to conduct performance art swat raids on the homes of supposed political opponents. After the attempts of the Department of Justice to go easy on the miscreant Hunter Biden but to hound ex-president Donald Trump for supposedly removing files illegally in the same fashion as current President Joe Biden, the public lost confidence not just in Attorney General Merrick Garland but in American jurisprudence itself. The shenanigans of prosecutors like Fani Willis, Letitia James, and Alvin Bragg, along with overtly biased judges like Juan Merchant and Arthur Engoron, only reinforced the reality that the American legal system has descended into third-world-like tit-for-tat vendettas.I would disagree with the estimable Dr. Hanson in that I don't see tit for tat vendettas. I see tyrants abusing and corrupting the system to punish its political enemies. We shall see if the net effect is to have turned Donald Trump into a combination of Nelson Mandela and Alfred Dreyfus. Do not get me wrong. I am no fan at all of Nelson Mandela. He was a hardcore communist, and despite the amorality of the apartheid system of South Africa, but I merely invoke him in the same sentence as Trump so as to make Leftist heads explode, so why not. Perhaps a few Winnie Mandela flaming tire necklaces are what's required to set things right.
Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended former President Donald Trump on Thursday after a jury in a deep blue part of the country returned a guilty verdict against him. The case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — who is backed by Democrat megadonor George Soros — has been controversial from the start and has remained so throughout with nearly every facet showing what critics and various legal experts have alleged is bias against the former president, including the judge who presided over the case, the legal theory used to bring the charges, the instructions given to jurors for deliberations, and more.Look, IF even RFK Jr. can see this for what it is, that kind says something. Unless he thinks this is a way for him to try and peel support away from Biden. Which to make that observation says something about both my perception of his character and his reading of the tea leaves o his fellow travelers, their liberal proclivities and innate dislike of Trump and conservatives notwithstanding. Perhaps down the road, a coming together of people like RFK Jr. and us on a common ground of trying to find common ground upsn which to, shall we say Coexist is what might be needed to start my longed for American renaissance. I have a dream today.
RFK Jr. a lifelong Democrat who only recently became an Independent because he was unable to overtake Biden as the Democrat Party’s nominee — said that the party’s entire plan to stop Trump was to beat him with the criminal prosecutions initiated by Democrat prosecutor.

- Fracking wastewater from Pennsylvania alone could provide 40% of domestic lithium requirements for the US. (Ars Technica)
The Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania contains enough natural gas to meet all domestic requirements for 18 years all by itself, and is also rich in lithium. So rich that the wastewater from fracking efforts is just loaded with the stuff.
The Ars commentariat is outraged at the thought that extracting critical energy resources could provide other critical resources for free. There's not enough lithium in the world for that lot.

CNN's legal analyst wonders if it's quite fair or even constitutional to allow jurors to Choose Their Own Adventure and convict a man without ever agreeing on what he's being convicted of.
Trump: The country will deliver the "real verdict" on November 5th.
The Bee seems to think that the actual crime Trump committed was just being Donald Trump. They're right:
1. Trump said he's innocent: Exactly the sort of thing a guilty person would say. 2. Before the trial, the prosecution's star witnesses both said Trump was innocent: It doesn't get any more cut and dry. 3. The judge decided Trump was guilty before the trial even began: It was that obvious. 4. No one in America has ever been charged with a felony for this crime before: Trump is so guilty they had to make up new laws. Case closed.
9. He's not a Democrat: Clearly belongs behind bars. That's just how law works.
CNN's legal analyst wonders if it's quite fair or even constitutional to allow jurors to Choose Their Own Adventure and convict a man without ever agreeing on what he's being convicted of.
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig asserted on Tuesday that there are reasonable questions about the fairness of Judge Juan Merchan enabling jurors to choose between three crimes to convict former President Donald Trump without being in unanimous agreement. Merchan instructed the jury Wednesday that they do not need to agree on the "unlawful" means Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges the former president used to influence the 2016 election. Honig said that the instruction is likely permissible, but that it is justified to question its fairness. "There's three menu items: federal campaign finance violations, tax violations and then falsification of other business records," Honig said. "And what's become a little bit controversial is the judge said, you can choose any of those three options. You don't have to be unanimous as to which one. That's caused some controversy. It's probably allowable under New York law because all they have to show is an intent to commit some other crime, but there are fair questions about whether that's a fair way to charge it."Liberals like Jake Tapper keep insisting that it's "not true" that they can pick their own underlying crime. Um, yes it is, Fake Jake. Tapper is really arguing, as all of these liberals are arguing, that as long as they find he acted "unlawfully," they can each Choose Their Own Adventure as to exactly what was "unlawful" about his conduct.
Trump has strong grounds for appeal:
CNN host Jake Tapper said the characterization of Merchan not requiring unanimity from the jurors is "kind of true, kind of not true," while network legal analyst Elliot Williams said it is "kind of grossly misleading."
... Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy McCarthy said on Wednesday the jury instruction by Merchan is an aberration. "This is anything but standard. It's the antithesis of standard," McCarthy said. "The idea that they do not have to agree on what the other crime is. We spent six weeks wondering what is the other crime and at the end the thud we all get hit with, there's three or four of 'em and you could pick one or the other and they don't have to agree on it."
Greg PriceI have a prediction: The judge will attempt to appoint himself Trump's Personal Censor at sentencing, telling Trump he can stay out of jail if and only if he agrees to the judge's list of things he's not allowed to say. Merchan will insert himself as a permanent part of the Trump Campaign, threatening jailtime if his demands are not met. James Carville says don't bank on Biden being the Democrat nominee just yet.
@greg_price11 Just a quick recap of the Juan Merchan/Alvin Bragg show trial in NYC: - The Soros funded DA elevated a misdemeanor to a felony despite lowering 60% of all felonies for actual criminals in his jurisdiction - The lead prosecutor resigned his position as the 3rd highest ranking member of Biden's DOJ to join Alvin Bragg's team going after Trump. - The judge donated to Joe Biden and has a daughter who raised millions of dollars for Democrats off the Trump prosecutions - The other lead prosecutor also donated to Joe Biden - The lead witness that the whole case relies on is a convicted perjurer and serial liar who admitted during the trial to stealing money from the Trump organization - The judge put a gag order on Donald Trump for pointing out the political conflicts of interest of the people prosecuting him - The "crime" relies on the idea that Trump paid off Stormy Daniels to conceal another crime, which is not mentioned in the indictment. - The judge barred Trump's defense from explaining to jury that no campaign finance violation occurred but allowed prosecutors to assert as fact in their closing that there was. - The judge cleared out the court room when Michael Cohen's former attorney was exonerating Trump but allowed the prosecution to bring in Stormy Daniels to talk about whether or not Trump used a condom. - The judge barred a former FEC commissioner from testifying that Donald Trump did nothing wrong. - The judge is allowing the jury to not have to reach a unanimous verdict on the underlying, unnamed crime Trump committed.
Democratic strategist James Carville said there is apprehension in the party and that people should not disregard the possibility that President Joe Biden will not be a presidential candidate by the election. Former President Donald Trump is beating Biden in the five critical swing states of Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a May New York Times/Siena College survey. Carville said on the "Politics War Room" podcast that there is a chance Biden will not be the Democrats' nominee in response to a question about whether the president should exit the race if he does poorly in his upcoming debate with Trump, and as he continues to struggle in swing state polls. "I got to tell you, there's, I don't say panic, but there is real, real unease in the party," Carville said. "And you know, sometimes you go years with nothing happening, and then you go weeks with everything happening."A unanimous Supreme Court, in a ruling credited to Sotomayor (or at least her clerks), reaffirms that no, the government cannot encourage/demand third party corporations to punish persons and groups that the state wants to silence. By the way: Reluctant justices will sometimes join an opinion in order to weaken it. It's a balancing act for the other justices to decide, how much do we want this to be unanimous? versus how much are willing to let other justices weaken it for the sake of unanimity? No real insight on my part -- but I do not trust the Wise Latina and Marxist chaos agent troll Sotomayor.
"It's politics. Anything can happen. Don't discount it," he added, although he agreed with co-host Al Hunt that Biden most likely will be the candidate. Biden proposed two presidential debates with Trump, suggesting a slew of guardrails such as no live audience and having microphones turned off when it is not the candidate's turn to speak. Trump consented to both debates, the first of which is slated for June.
Surprise, surprise, surprise! Not only did the Supreme Court resuscitate the National Rifle Association's lawsuit against the state of New York, they did so unanimously.Read the whole thing. Might mean something when it comes time to rule on the Republican AGs lawsuit over the Biden Administration demanding that Twitter (x.com) censor its political opponents. The US government funds groups which pressure advertisers not to pay disfavored outlets for advertising. This, too, is government tortious interference. The former Western democracy of Australia has established a cabinet-level office in the state of Victoria called "The Secretary of Men's Behavior Change." Note that this is an Australian state, not the Australian government as a whole. But it's alarming nonetheless.
Advertisement And guess who wrote the opinion that directed the lower court to take up the NRA's First Amendment claim in NRA v Vullo? Justice Sonia Sotomayor, last seen lamenting her Kleenex consumption in a conservative-dominated SCOTUS:As Sotomayor lays out the claim, it is clear that Vullo intended to use her power and jurisdiction to punish the NRA for its speech, specifically in opposition to gun-control proposals after the Parkland shooting. Sotomayor's narrative makes a pretty good case for tortious interference too, but Sotomayor necessarily sticks to the speech issues:
Six decades ago, this Court held that a government entity's "threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion" against a third party "to achieve the suppression" of disfavored speech violates the First Amendment. Bantam Books, Inc. v. Sullivan, 372 U. S. 58, 67 (1963). Today, the Court reaffirms what it said then: Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors. Petitioner National Rifle Association (NRA) plausibly alleges that respondent Maria Vullo did just that. As superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, Vullo allegedly pressured regulated entities to help her stifle the NRA's pro-gun advocacy by threatening enforcement actions against those entities that refused to disassociate from the NRA and other gun-promotion advocacy groups. Those allegations, if true, state a First Amendment claim.
Around that time, Vullo also began to meet with executives at the insurance companies doing business with the NRA. On February 27, Vullo met with senior executives at Lloyd's. There, speaking on behalf of DFS and then-Governor Andrew Cuomo, Vullo "presented [their] views on gun control and their desire to leverage their powers to combat the availability of firearms, including specifically by weakening the NRA." Id., at 221, [Paragraph] 67. She also "discussed an array of technical regulatory infractions plaguing the affinity insurance marketplace" in New York. Id., at 199, [Paragraph]21. Vullo told the Lloyd's executives "that DFS was less interested in pursuing the[se] infractions" unrelated to any NRA business "so long as Lloyd's ceased providing insurance to gun groups, especially the NRA." Id., at 199--200, [Paragraph]21; accord, id., at 223, [Paragraph]69 (alleging that Vullo made it clear to Lloyd's that it "could avoid liability for infractions relating to other, similarly situated insurance policies, so long as it aided DFS's campaign against gun groups").1 Vullo and Lloyd's struck a deal: Lloyd's "would instruct its syndicates to cease underwriting firearm-related policies and would scale back its NRA-related business," and "in exchange, DFS would focus its forthcoming affinity-insurance enforcement action solely on those syndicates which served the NRA, and ignore other syndicates writing similar policies." Ibid., [Paragraph]69.
Labor Premier Jacinta Allan of Victoria, the second most populous state in Australia, announced on Monday that a new position had been created in her government: "Parliamentary Secretary for Men's Behaviour Change." Allan selected Tim Richardson, the State Labor MP for Mordialloc, to fill the position. "Tim Richardson will become Parliamentary Secretary for Men's Behaviour Change, continuing the Allan Labor Government's priority to make Victoria a safer place for women and children and work to end the tragedy of deaths of Victorian women at the hands of men," Allan stated. "This is the first position of its kind in Australia -- and will focus largely on the influence the internet and social media have on boys' and men's attitudes towards women and building respectful relationships."Tim Richardson says we need boys and men working in close, sweaty quarters to bring about change.
Tim Richardson MPThe man she selected for this role looks much as you would imagine.
@TimRichardsonMP Some pretty hectic reactions here to an important role and Australian first.
It will be about modelling positive role models for boys and men and ensuring we break away from gendered based stereotypes and building respectful relationships.
As boys and men we need to lead this.

FOX: VERDICT REACHED -- "GUILTY" ON ALL 34 MADE-UP "CRIMES"
Oof.
We never had much of chance, just a fool's chance.Victoria Taft: The judge's instructions were basically a 55-page directive to the jury to find Trump guilty no matter what.
@CollinRugg BREAKING: Donald Trump found GUILTY on 34 of 34 felony counts in the NYC hush money case. The jury deliberated for a total of 9.5 hours over two days before reaching a verdict. Sentencing is expected in the coming weeks but could be delayed. Each felony count Trump was facing carries the possibility of up to four years in prison but experts say that Merchan may choose house arrest and/or probation for Trump. Trump is expected to appeal the conviction which will likely take months. According to the New York Times, it's unlikely the appeal process will be resolved before Election Day.
If the five-woman, seven-man jury doesn't find Donald Trump guilty of the alleged bookkeeping mistakes, it will be a miracle. This is because the 55-page final jury instructions that attorneys saw only moments before the judge read them in court on Wednesday is a "directed verdict" to Trump's guilt. That's it. That's why an uncharacteristically somber Trump announced that even "Mother Teresa couldn't beat these charges." See his comments below.
The "fix is in," as one notable former U.S. attorney decreed. "This is most corrupt judicial proceeding in the history of the United States," former District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova told WMAL. Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz agrees that the fix is in. "The judge essentially instructed the jury to convict Trump," he titled his video. As I've said, jury instructions are key to understanding what the chances are of an acquittal or hung jury. The most bizarre and worrisome thing about these instructions to the jury is that the judge gave jurors an a la carte menu of three choices -- three crimes on which jurors may decide for themselves, individually, not unanimously what they think were Trump's motivations for making 34 bookkeeping notations. All Trump's complicity involves, and I'm not making this up, is if he may have been motivated to win the 2016 election, which means they can conclude he's guilty of a federal or state campaign law, or that he violated a tax law, for which there was no evidence offered.
The only thing they must agree unanimously on are the 34 charged indictments. Prosecutors have hidden the ball on these predicate crime options since they were announced. But one of Alvin Bragg's theories was alluded to in his accompanying letter to the charges. And it's why, the Trump team tried to put on expert witness Brad Smith, who was the former head of the Federal Elections Commission. Smith was to explain why Trump's legal payments to Michael Cohen weren't campaign expenses and why he, as the chairman of the FEC, turned down the request to jack up Trump on charges for them.
In a gasp-inducing decision, Merchan said he would not allow Smith to do anything other than verify definitions of words without offering expert opinion on campaign law. The Trump team decided not to bother. It should have because it may have gotten some leading questions in there, and who knows what would have happened. Merchan said he didn't want to "confuse" the jurors because he's the arbiter of the law. Merchan is not an expert on campaign law. The decision not to put on Smith and take their chances might be the defense's biggest blunder.

Nelson Peltz Throws in the Towel On Basket-Case Groomer Corporation Disney, Sells Trian's $Billion+ Stake In Disney
Peltz's proxy fight/hostile takeover bid had the perverse result of boosting Disney's stock price even as Peltz was arguing the company should go back to producing family-friendly, uncontroversial, nonsexual material for children, instead of being a full-services groomer corporation. Because there was a fight for control of Disney, the stock was trading at an artificially high price -- the stock had a control-of-the-company premium baked into the price.
Well, Peltz has now taken his own support away. He sold all of his (and his investment group Trian's) stock for $120 per share, well above Disney's current $100 per share value. Like I said, there's a control premium in the price of a big chunk of stock. The rest of Disney shareholders won't be enjoying that premium. They'll see the stock lose value as Disney's losing streak continues and no more White Knights will try to save it.No reporting about who bought the billion in stock. I would imagine it's leftwingers who are willing to lose money to keep a Marxist groomer propaganda organization under their control. Lucasfilm gave a sneak peak of its upcoming bomb The Acolyte to its usual crowd of hand-picked Disney shill influencers. Kathleen Kennedy must know it's terrible, because she's blaming the fans for the show's failure before the show actually debuts.
Nelson Peltz's Trian reportedly sells out of Disney stock at $120 per share, according to source, a person familiar with the matter tells CNBC. Peltz sold all of his Disney stock at roughly $120 a share, the person said, making about $1 billion on the position. The stock currently trades for about $100 per share.
No they didn't. In fact, Kelly Marie Tran complained of "the media" treating her badly, which the media then willfully misinterpreted as "people who consume the media" treating her badly.
In a new interview with The New York Times for the upcoming "Star Wars" series "The Acolyte," Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said she is aware that women in the space franchise are often attacked online more than men "because of the fan base being so male dominated." Female stars Daisy Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran certainly faced online harassment from toxic fans when the most recent "Star Wars" film trilogy was released, and now "The Acolyte" is already being attacked in certain corners of the fandom.
...But what about Muh Representation, Kaffeine Kennedy? If I don't see myself represented on the screen, how do I know I'm allowed to watch this show?
As reported by The Times: "A loud, primordial part of the 'Star Wars' fandom has pushed back in predictable fashion [against the show]. 'Why are there so many women, girls and minority characters increasingly dominating the ranks of Jedi?' reads a comment on 'The Acolyte' trailer, with others expressing a similar worldview...Some trolls have nicknamed Headland's series 'The Wokelyte.'"
It needs to represent all people... except the second-largest group in the country, straight white men.
"My belief is that storytelling does need to be representative of all people," Kennedy told the publication about her support for Headland's "Acolyte" vision. "That's an easy decision for me."
Well, most of us stopped being fans a while ago. Meanwhile, Disney has filed a "weak" motion in support of its previous motion to dismiss the Gina Carano lawsuit.
"Operating within these giant franchises now, with social media and the level of expectation -- it's terrifying," Kennedy continued. "I think Leslye has struggled a little bit with it. I think a lot of the women who step into 'Star Wars' struggle with this a bit more. Because of the fan base being so male dominated, they sometimes get attacked in ways that can be quite personal."
... "As a fan myself, I know how frustrating some 'Star Wars' storytelling in the past has been. I've felt it myself," she said. "I stand by my empathy for 'Star Wars' fans. But I want to be clear. Anyone who engages in bigotry, racism or hate speech ... I don't consider a fan."
The hearing is on June 12th. If you recall, Disney's defense against her action for wrongful termination and gender discrimination -- and remember, unlike most other states, California law says you cannot fire someone for political activity -- was that they are a company engaging in the first amendment and therefore they have an absolutely unlimited right to fire anyone they want for any reason, including for what would otherwise constitute illegal discrimination. CBS and Paramount are making the same claim in a lawsuits based on their refusal to hire a straight white male writer. They claim they can discriminate based on race and sex because they operate in the realm of expression and the first amendment provides absolute protection for any discriminatory hiring or firing they do. Hm, does that apply to all of us? Does that apply to the DEI rainbow of protected groups, too? Or just to white men? I have a feeling it's just white men.

@ginacarano Disney you have a problem, you call others what you yourselves are, you do and are the things you tell others not to do or be. You demand apologies and can never figure out how to give one. My case should NOT be dismissed, I deserve the right to present this to my peers and judge in the court of law. Other artists in this industry should take notice. Most of you already know and I appreciate all the messages of support. I thought you preach about listening to all women, am I getting that right Hollywood?? Every ounce of me is a woman and I'm ready to be listened to. Double standards, hypocrisy, discrimination.. Things need to change and they KNOW it and so does everyone else. Court date set June 12th in LA. Pray with me level heads prevail.
CBS and Paramount Global have filed a response to a discrimination lawsuit by a writer who claimed he wasn't hired because he was a straight, white man. Brian Beneker filed his suit in March, complaining that he was not hired as a staff writer for the series SEAL Team solely for reason of his race, sex, and/or sexual orientation. "Defendants failed to hire or promote Mr. Beneker due to his race, sex, and heterosexuality," the complaint from longtime SEAL Team script coordinator and freelance scribe Beneker read. Beneker said in the complaint that he suffered by not being part of "the favored hiring groups; that is, they were nonwhite, LGBTQ, or female," and the "illegal policy" of increasing diversity, equity and inclusion measures. "This balancing policy has created a situation where heterosexual, white men need 'extra' qualifications (including military experience or previous writing credits) to be hired as staff writers when compared to their nonwhite, LGBTQ, or female peers, who require no such 'extra' qualifications," the filing added. CBS responded today and asked for a quick dismissal. CBS "has a constitutional right under the First Amendment to select the writers whose work shapes CBS's artistic enterprise," the motion filed today read. CBS also asserted that aspects of Beneker's complaint are time-barred and fail to state a claim on which relief can be granted.Does Elon Musk have the right to hire only white and Asian men, then? He owns the ultimate free speech platform.
"The First Amendment bars Beneker's claims in full. The First Amendment embodies a core principle of speaker's autonomy that bars the government from dictating to expressive enterprises like CBS what to say and how to say it. It therefore displaces applications of statutes, including anti-discrimination laws, that would force an expressive enterprise to compromise its own message."

"You Ain't Black!" Black Radio Host Blasts MSNBC For Claiming That His Reports About Black Voters' Concerns About Out-of-Control Illegal Immigration Are Just "MAGA Messaging"
Shut up, boy, they explained patiently to the black voters they respect and treasure so much.
Radio host Charlamagne tha God called out MSNBC for accusing him of spreading "MAGA messaging" when discussing the border crisis, arguing angry voters have confronted him on the issue because the surge has greatly impacted "everyday" Americans across the political aisle. Charlamagne spoke with "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade Wednesday about why he disagrees with the far-left outlet as Biden struggles to garner Black voter support ahead of November. "There was some backlash earlier this year when I got asked a simple question, do I think that the border is going to be an issue in November? This was in January," Charlamagne told Brian Kilmeade. "I said, yeah... the reason I feel like it's going to be an issue [is] because [for] the first time in my life, people that I know are having conversations with me about what's going on at the border, whether it's... somebody I know who works at a parking garage in New York coming to me in tears talking about... the crime that is in his neighborhood because the gangs that are coming over or... talking to activists in Chicago who are just upset because they feel like... these people are coming over and getting more access to resources than people who've been living on the South Side... homeless... are getting. That's just me listening to people." "So when I get asked that question and I say yes, all of a sudden I'm on... MSNBC with the headline, 'Charlamagne tha God is spreading MAGA messaging.' I'm like, these people aren't MAGA," he continued. "This is just a regular, everyday, working-class person who's coming to me because they know I got a microphone, and they're complaining." MSNBC published an article earlier this year titled "Meek Mill, Charlamagne Tha God helping to push MAGA messaging," which criticized the pair and the "right-wing media" for utilizing prominent figures in the Black community to spur debate. ... Meanwhile, recent polls have indicated Biden has lost support in the Black community -- a key voting bloc needed for his success in November -- as his campaign introduces a new Black voter initiative in response to the slip.Speaking of that: Biden is offering more of his famously-nuanced racial appeals. He's now proclaiming that he stood next to a black guy that one time, so you should vote for him. More or less, his message is "I can stand to be within social-distance range of blacks." Great.

Trump Tied With Biden in Virginia, 42-42; Biden Won Virginia (Allegedly) by 10 Points in 2020
It's almost as if Biden is a Failed Fake President.
There is a snag, however. That snag is RFKJr.A recent Roanoke College poll indicates a tie between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden in Virginia--a state Biden won by a significant margin in 2020. Key Details: Even Match: Trump and Biden each garnered 42% support among likely voters in Virginia, with a significant 16% opting for other candidates or remaining undecided. Third-Party Influence: Including third-party candidates, Biden slightly leads Trump 40% to 38%. Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emerges as a notable contender with 8% support. Historical Context: Virginia, traditionally a blue stronghold since 2008, shows unexpected competitiveness in current polling.As you may know, Biden will be nominated "virtually" before the convention so that he can meet Ohio's deadline to be on the ballot. But, as Ed Morrissey points out -- that means that the Democrats can't pull a convention Torricelli Option and remain on the ballot, right?
So much for all those Chicago Switcheroo scenarios! Political analysts will have to set aside months of speculation about a convention surprise, thanks to the DNC's inability to research state deadlines for ballot access -- and Ohio Democrats' desire for foreign money in ballot-issue campaigns. As Jazz noted earlier, the dream is over. Rather than wait for the convention to nominate Joe Biden as their presidential nominee, the DNC will hold a "virtual roll call" to nominate Biden in time for Ohio's August 7 ballot deadline:Well, maybe. Remember, New Jersey also had a ballot deadline which Torricelli's last minute replacement Frank Lautenberg did not meet. But Democrats ran to a friendly judge to get Lautenberg put on the ballot, in defiance of state law. So that could happen again. The DNC has no mechanism to replace a candidate once votes have been cast? So what? What does the law matter when we have Muh Democracy at stake?!?! But Biden would need a lot of friendly judges in a lot of swing states, right? Or he could file with one friendly liberal Hawaiian federal judge who issues a command to all states to change the ballots.[NYT:] Democratic Party leaders said Tuesday that they would nominate President Biden for a second term in office via a virtual roll call of delegates to the party's national convention, bypassing a glitch in Ohio law that had threatened to keep Mr. Biden off the November ballot in the state. Ohio law requires all candidates to be legally certified by Aug. 7, but Mr. Biden was not scheduled to be officially nominated until after the Democratic National Convention begins on Aug. 19. The virtual roll call will be completed before the Ohio deadline. ... The chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison, issued a statement on Tuesday denouncing the Republican lawmakers for their inaction. "Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree," he said. "But when the time has come for action, they have failed to act every time, so Democrats will land this plane on our own."... At any rate, the net result of this new strategy all but eliminates any convention switcheroo for a failing Biden. Before this plan, the possibility existed (unlikely as it was) that the DNC could change the rules to release all delegates on the first ballot and have a real open convention for the nomination.... They're stuck with Biden now because they will have no mechanism to replace him once that virtual vote takes place.

Jury in Trump Sham Trial Asks for Jury Instructions and Some Key Testimony to be Read Back to Them
Before getting to that, check out this typically-well-informed liberal bitch brainlet:
Billy BaldwinTrump says "The whole world is watching."
@BillyBaldwin If you were on trial and the jury went into deliberations to determine your verdict and you said... "I don't even know what the charges are?" Do you think you are competent enough to be the President of the United States?
Outside the courthouse, Trump stated, "Everyone's against this case. I haven't seen one legal scholar...say that this case should've been filed...It's 7-years-old...Bragg turned it down, then he rejuvenated it when I was running for office--at the request of Biden." He added, "I just want to say that this is a very sad day for America. The whole world is watching...the whole system is rigged."The jury is asking for specific parts of the trial transcript to be read back to them:
Jonathan TurleyThis concerns the buried story about another woman claiming she slept with Trump, not the Clown Car Vagina whore Sloppy Daniels:
@JonathanTurley ...They are now reading a different portion of Pecker's cross examination. Pecker said it was "easy to say" that he would continue his practice on running interference on these stories. Pecker admitted that at the key meeting there was no discussion of a "catch and kill" effort. He also said that the Stormy Daniels story was not part of the August 15 meeting. (This was the line, I believe, that the prosecutors wanted to keep out on the rereading). Pecker confirmed again that there was no discussion of a catch and kill or payment for any stories.
Jonathan TurleyThe jury is also asking about what facts can be legally inferred from other facts. Interestingly, they seem to be asking if they can completely ignore Michael Cohen's testilying:
@JonathanTurley ...They are reading the Pecker testimony where Trump said do not buy the story and Trump said that he does not believe that such purchases stop stories from getting out. He then said Michael Cohen would get back to Pecker.
That could apply to Sloppy Daniels too. Andrew Weissman, the insanely partisan Democrat hatchet-man who really led the "Mueller" investigation, declared that he has a "man-crush" on the lawless corrupt judge Merchan.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley ...The judge is again instructing that the jury can discharge the entirety of the testimony of a witness who has lied previously or in the testimony.

The Morning Report — 5/30/24
New York State Justice Juan Merchan, who is presiding over New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg's trial of President Trump over a bookkeeping issue is getting sleazier now that Bragg's case is starting to fall apart, giving the Red Queen of the Alice In Wonderland story a run for her money. At issue now are his instructions to the 12-person jury as it goes into deliberations, telling them that they don't need to agree about what the supposed 'underlying' crime of Donald Trump was that would make his hush money payment to porn "star" Stormy Daniels a felony, which is the legal basis for turning the bookkeeping issue into a 34-count felony. They just need to think that Trump was thinking about commiting a crime when he signed off on the check and what that crime was can be anyone's guess.THe fly in the ointment as it were is do they see America in decline because Socialism/Marxism and DEI have not supplanted colonialist racist capitalist America as founded, or because they understand that they've been lied to all their lives in school and the media and everywhere else? Of all the things that are of primary importance will be the deprogramming of the past three generations of the American mind and the complete evisceration of the brainwashing/indoctrination complex that is Academia from K-post grad as well as the re-establishment of some sort of moral/ethical foundation that was and will always be the bedrock of a free and forward moving society and human condition.
But no matter: Sentence first, verdict later. And he started this out with a doozy of bad behavior, going all Eddie Haskell on the jury to begin, as if in a bid to butter them up to do things in his biased way. Normally, juries are praised after they render their verdicts by judges.
But Merchan is special. . . . . . Merchan instructed them to come up with any underlying crime they liked, and to be helpful, offered them a three-course smorgasbord of possibilities, though I am sure he wouldn't be bothered if one of them got creative and came up with a different one of his own. . . . "Outrageous. In a normal criminal case every statutory crime has what we call elements of the offense. Like in a bank robbery case you have to rob – it has to be a financial institution, you have to show intent," said former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy. "Those are the things the jury has to agree on unanimously that they were proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Here what we’re doing is taking the element that actually makes this a felony, because remember falsification of records is normally a misdemeanor in New York. What makes it a felony is that you are concealing or committing another crime." "And here the judge is telling them they don’t have to agree about what the other crime is under circumstances where that not only is what makes this a felony, makes it a four-year potential prison penalty rather than a year or less, but it is also what gets us into the courtroom." "If this had been a misdemeanor, the time to bring this case would have lapsed in 2019. The only reason they are still able to bring this case is because it’s a felony allegedly and yet now the judge is saying you know, you don’t have to agree on what the felony is." Trump, of course, was never told which of the underlying crimes he supposedly committed in the courtroom, so he was not able to defend himself from them, which according to some legal observers violates the equal protection clause. His instructions actually were illegal, based on a recent Supreme Court case in an opinion written by left-leaning Justice Stephen Breyer that right-leaning Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas concurred with, regarding the critical need for unanimity regarding an underlying crime: Yet he seemed to know that he gave illegal instructions because he insisted that no written instructions be given to the jury. That way, his hands would be clean when the jury attempted to explain its logic and the judicial regulators started looking in askance at his jughead grasp of the law. Who, me, give bad instructions? They must have heard me wrong. Not surprisingly, the jury found this confusing. They sent a note asking him to repeat those instructions: Even CNN's analyst found it skeevy. . . . . . All of this comes on top of Merchan's other bad acts, such as gag orders, which are normally issued to protect defendants, not prosecutors; a refusal to allow President Trump to use an 'advice of council' defense after he was badly advised by former fixer Michael Cohen; and suppression of President Trump's most important witnesses, such as former FEC chief Brian Smith from testifying that they never prosecuted for these kinds of claimed "crimes."
This is all Lavrenty Beria insofar as it's a classic case of Show me the man and I'll show you the crime. There's a niggling (racist?) feeling I'm getting that perhaps the Junta fears there may be at least one or perhaps even more than one juror who might actually not vote the right way, i.e. to convict Trump. Meh, as a former New Yorker who needs jurors when you have the likes of BLM and ANtifa at your beck and call, along with perhaps the IRS and every other damned Stasi-gestapo government goon squad to do to you and yours what's being done to Trump. Hell, it's been done already to anyone who resists School indoctrination to being mugged on a subway train. When they say by any means necessary, you better believe it. If by some miracle Trump somehow dodges this bullet, you better believe there will be real bullets he's going to have to dodge before November. Anyway, there are a couple of things that at least give me a little bit of hope to cling to. First, is the unlikeliest of individuals that I thought I'd admire, and that is <the Senator from PennsylvaniaSen. John Fetterman told Yeshiva University graduates Wednesday that he was “profoundly disappointed” in Harvard University’s inability to address antisemitism on campus before removing the ceremonial crimson academic hood representing his alma mater.Here's one where the tea leaves are a bit murkier in some regards, but hopefully it's a glass half full and not haf empty:
The Pennsylvania Democrat expressed his disapproval with the Ivy League school during his commencement address for the private Orthodox Jewish university, which bestowed him with its “Hero of Israel” award, the institution’s highest honor.
“I have been profoundly disappointed [in] Harvard’s inability to stand up for the Jewish community after Oct. 7,” Fetterman, 54, told the new grads at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens. . . . . . Fetterman, a staunch supporter of Israel’s war against Hamas, received a standing ovation after the symbolic gesture.
“The Jewish community everywhere deserves our support,” he added.
“And I promise you will always have mine.”
Fetterman’s remarks were well received, and he was spotted dancing with students and school leaders after delivering his speech.
The Democratic polling firm Blueprint got some disturbing results from an online poll of 943 18 to 30-year-old registered voters. The poll found "49% agreed to some extent that elections in the country don’t represent people like them; 51% agreed to some extent that the political system in the US 'doesn’t work for people like me;' and 64% backed the statement that 'America is in decline.'” ... The poll also found that 65% agreed strongly or somewhat with the statement, "Nearly all politicians are corrupt." Only 7% disagreed.
Usually, I never get too riled about the younger generation's thoughts on America. I remember when I was 21 and believed the world would end before I was 30 and that America was going downhill fast.
Many of us older folk today look at the youth of America and worry about the future. But then I remember my grandparents fretting about my generation, which is just like their grandparents worrying about the future. It's a rite of passage.
Is this generation any different? Maybe.

Quick Hits
A "manhunt" is now on for the Thought Criminal who illegally drove over "pride" flags painted on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.
Ron DeSantis -- do something about this. We all know none of these blue cities ever prosecute BLM or antifa terrorists. A "manhunt" for a guy who peeled out and did donuts on some Groomer Flags is therefore unconstitutional selective prosecution. Biden's corrupted DOJ tracked Moms for Liberty as terrorist operatives.According to the Daily Wire, the DOJ's Community Relations Service (CRS) tracked the group alongside actual hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan as internal documents show. The emails that detail the DOJ's monitoring of Moms for Liberty were revealed thanks to a FOIA request from America First Legal on behalf of the Daily Wire. The CRS is tasked with "preventing and responding to community tensions and hate crimes, bias, bullying, and discrimination," and tracked Moms for Liberty though Google and LexisNexis alerts. The Daily Wire reported that the DOJ initially tried to keep these documents hidden by ignoring a FOIA request but were ultimately forced to thanks to a lawsuit by America First Legal. Despite efforts to figure out why the DOJ decided it needed to track Moms for Liberty like it does the KKK, the DOJ is staying mum so far, but a pattern has been deduced thanks to the emails:More leftwing activists are resigning from government "service" to protest Biden's failure to drop an atomic bomb on the hated Jews, prompting Joe Squire to wonder, "just how many pro-Hamas terror simps work for Joe Biden, anyway?"
It appears to have used its tracking of Moms for Liberty to identify school boards considering enacting conservative-leaning education policy. It then pressured school boards to defer to the DOJ to resolve the differences of opinion between duly-elected conservative officials and leftist activists, instead of enacting platforms they won elections on. The Daily Wire obtained emails from DOJ-CRS "Conciliation Specialist" Hannah Levine. The emails suggest that she did little other than track supposed "hate" by setting up Google Alerts and LexisNexis alerts for keywords. For example, she scoured the news for articles that said "washington, dc n-word" and "washington, dc confederate flag."
I suppose if there is a good thing to come out of the Biden administration's mishandling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, it's the fact that so many terrorist sympathizers are exposing themselves and quitting the federal bureaucracy. We've seen several reports of officials quitting over the course of the conflict, and now we've got another one. Let the purge continue! After the White House concluded that Israel was not restricting aid to Israel, Stacy Gilbert, who served in the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (given the administration's record there, maybe she should have been fired long before now, but I digress) resigned her post.Another Cultural Enrichment Officer arrested.
Illegal alien wanted by Interpol for murder seen crying during arrest after crossing border under Biden Leo Acosta Sanchez, a fugitive murder suspect who had illegally crossed the Mexican border under Biden, was arrested during a traffic stop Friday. The suspect, who was on Interpol's wanted list, broke down in tears as she was apprehended by the Splendora Police Department.
On May 24, during a routine patrol, vigilant Splendora Police officers identified the wanted individual behind the wheel of a vehicle and promptly called for backup. Following the arrival of additional units, a traffic stop was conducted, leading to the immediate arrest of the driver, identified as Leo Acosta Sanchez. Officials said Sanchez had been illegally residing in Splendora, Texas and would travel to her residence in Terrenos. She is now facing charges related to the alleged crimes committed, according to police. The Department released a statement about Sanchez's arrest and said they worked with Homeland Security to arrest her.

Human Dirtgrub Michael Cohen to Run For Congress
He's got the ethical and psychological profile sought by the Democrat Party.
As Donald Trump's "hush money" trial wound down in Manhattan, his former fixer Michael Cohen made a big bang in the Hamptons over Memorial Day weekend. Multiple sources said that Cohen is next hatching a run for Congress, and is planning a new book, we hear. One insider said he was like a "walking reality show" as he hit a series of parties and hotspots in the tony Long Island enclave away from Manhattan court over the weekend, and that he was mobbed. Cohen -- the prosecution's key witness in the case against Trump -- was branded as "the GLOAT" in court on Tuesday by Trump's lawyers. "He's literally the greatest liar of all time," Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, reportedly told jurors as the case came to a close in court. But in the Hamptons over the weekend, Cohen was the talk of the town. A spy told us that the ex-con was spotted grabbing lunch at 75 Main "three days in a row," and that he was overheard saying he "wants to run for Congress." ... Apparently at one Hamptons party, a New York socialite was overheard telling Cohen, "If you run I will be your first massive check... I could raise you millions." ...
The insider said that on Long Island's East End, "half the people say he's a delusional liar and the rest say he's saving America from Trump. Everyone has an opinion on this, and Cohen was everywhere this weekend." At a private party in the area, "Cohen was constantly approached by fans of his performance in court... People were overheard telling him to 'stay strong,' and thanked him for 'telling the truth,'" a source said. Added the insider: "He lit up like a Christmas tree when strangers approached him and wanted to shake his hand. He stood up and chatted with people and was treated like a celebrity. He is parading around like he doesn't have a care in the world, and is very proud of himself." The source said, "It was a bit strange to see him marching around smiling and acting like he just won an Oscar." Added the source, "Cohen clearly wants the attention and adulation, [but some] turned their backs on him and ignored him. He is like a walking reality show... Cohen took top billing in the Hamptons."
