WWE legend Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has expressed regret over endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election and has refused to back him in 2024. Johnson also voiced his dissatisfaction with the current state of America and the prevailing "woke culture," while not ruling out a potential future run for the White House. ... In a recent interview with Fox News, Johnson admitted that his endorsement of Biden in 2020 was a decision he now regrets, stating that it led to "division." He further stated that he will not be endorsing Biden in the upcoming 2024 election. "The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time," he said. "I realize now going into this election, I will not do that, my goal is to bring this country together."His endorsement of Biden was publicized by Biden and the Gaslight Media to the hilt. I don't think they'll be as keen to publicize this anti-endorsement. In related news: Biden overslept a scheduled 11 am event.
... Furthermore, Johnson voiced his annoyance with the prevailing "woke culture," stating that it "really bugs" him.
President Joe Biden's recent tardiness to a healthcare event, coupled with his visibly relaxed schedule, has raised questions about his work ethic and the state of his health. The President, who was an hour late to the event, appeared with visible CPAP strap marks on his face, suggesting he had just woken up.The Gaslight Media is going all out to save their dying-brained fake president, with Politico claiming, get this, that China favors Trump over Biden. Note that Chinese-intelligence connected "businesses" pumped millions of dollars into the bank accounts of the Biden Crime Family.
President Biden was an hour late to a healthcare event, which was scheduled for 11 a.m. but didn't start until around noon. Visible CPAP strap marks on his face suggested that he had just woken up, raising questions about his health and work ethic. Despite having a relatively light schedule, with no public events on Tuesday and only the Easter Egg Roll on Monday, the President appeared tired and confused during his remarks.
"In Politico's Nightly newsletter, Catherine Kim makes a harebrained assertion that China would prefer President Trump to return to the White House," Cheung said. "The same President Trump who made China submit to pro-America trade and tariff regulations, called them out for exporting the Coronavirus that killed millions across the world, and stood tough against Chinese economic aggression throughout his first term." The Politico report, titled "China's 2024 election play," suggested that China could be aiding efforts to return Trump to the White House. The report cited commentary from Rorry Daniels, managing director of the Asia Society Policy Institute, and Jacob Stokes, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. Both Daniels and Stokes have been criticized by the Trump campaign for their views. Responding to the report, Cheung accused Politico of being played by Chinese forces and suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome".

Variety"Could you not?" -- Sterling Archer ABC "journalists" had their car's windows smashed by thieves. They say the people they really feel bad for are the thieves who did this.
@Variety Lizzo is not quitting music. "I just need to clarify when I say 'I quit,' I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention. What I'm not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music and connecting to people. And I know I'm not alone. In no way shape or form am I the only person experiencing that negative voice that's louder than the positive. If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people, negative comments win then I've done even more than I could've hoped for. I'm going to keep moving forward and keep being me."
"Smash & grab was NOT what we had on our bingo card ... that's for sure. Grateful to be safe, the stuff they stole will be replaced... but it makes me sad for the folks that do this. Whatever circumstance gets someone to that choice of crime, I hope you know you stole things that are very meaningful to me too-- items my kids made me I travel with etc, passport, my glasses - all of which I'm sure is trashed and the tech is being sold," she wrote.The DOJ is now increasing the punishment they seek in the case of the woman who they falsely accuse of "stealing" the fake president's whore daughter's diary.
According to The New York Post, prosecutors originally had sought a lighter sentence of six months home confinement for Harris until the DOJ waded into the proceedings.The woman didn't steal anything. The daughter that Biden sexually abused was on drugs and left the diary behind.
'The defendant's sentence must also account for the manner in which she has abused the administration of justice throughout the pendency of this court proceeding,' the filing by US Attorney Damian Williams to District Judge Laura Taylor Swain reads. 'A sentence involving no period of incarceration would be wholly insufficient to reflect the gravity of the defendant's conduct, including her apparent belief that she is above the law and that she need not comply with this Court's orders,' prosecutors argued in their revamped sentencing request.
And you are...?
Dan Rather
@DanRather A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump.
Let me make this perfectly clear. It's not about politics. I've voted for both parties.The leftwing propaganda media never tires of complimenting themselves. No wonder the leftwing propaganda media and NeverTrump get along so well. Trump's real sin was to "attack" these propagandists posing as reporters -- status is everything to them, everything. Trump reduced their status, so they will hate him forever.
It's about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love. It's really that simple.
Suck all the dicks, Dan.

The Palm Beach Post claimed that a website the Florida's government set up to inform citizens of the costs of providing health care to illegal aliens was greater than the costs of providing health care to millions of illegal aliens. If that sounds utterly crank and beyond the bounds of plausibility, I'm sorry, but you do not have the necessary levels of Developmental Delay and innumeracy required to work at the Palm Beach Post. DeSantis pointed out their fantastically enormous three-orders-of-magnitude math error -- liberals are really bad at math -- they simply deleted the claim, and hid their error from their declining readership. Cost of the website plus the data collection and organization: a little over $572,000. Cost of providing health care to illegal aliens in Florida alone: $577 million. Whoops!

What do millions of Israelis' lives mean compared to a hundred thousand Arab voters in Michigan?
In what was undoubtedly a tense phone call, President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "an immediate ceasefire is essential" in Israel's war for survival against Hamas and that "U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on these steps."This is opportunistic and hypocritical by Biden. After he killed 13 American troops with his rushed and chaotic bug-out of Afghanistan, he ordered a hasty, poorly-intelligenced Public Relations "attack on terrorists." This attack killed zero terrorists but murdered 10 innocent people, including children. Deaths happen in wartime. Biden should well know this. He basically ordered a bombing on a site on the thinnest of intelligence, knowing full well it could be bad intelligence, because he needed to change the headlines for a couple of days. But Israel drops a single errant bomb, and now they're required to stop their very-just war against the terrorist group Hamas.
According to the official readout, Biden characterized the deaths of World Central Kitchen workers as an intentional strike on humanitarian aid workers and told Netanyahu that it was unacceptable. In a video statement put out hours after the incident, Netanyahu said it was unintentional and that a thorough inquiry would be conducted, and the Israeli military expressed "sincere sorrow" for the deaths.
Hamas is holding the hostages. Does he lean on Hamas to release them? No, he leans on Israel to convince Hamas to pretty-please release them.
Biden also "urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home," according to the readout, as if Netanyahu's negotiators have ever not been empowered to conclude a deal to bring the hostages home.
Unbelievably, (Doctor) Jill Biden is now in charge of Biden's Pivot to Hamas.
If that [demand for an immediate ceasefire with no reciprocation by Hamas] sounds familiar, it just so happens to be what Jill Biden recently demanded of her husband behind the scenes. Yes, the president's wife is apparently running the country.According to a new report, while being confronted at a Ramadan event by a pro-Hamas supporter, the president revealed that his wife has been seething behind the scenes and demanding that her husband "Stop it, stop it now" concerning Israel's war against Hamas.
John Kirby struggled to explain the Regime's shift to Hamas:

Before getting to that: Spherical representative of a district gerrymandered to be full of white Democrats Gerry Nadler claims there are no men in women's sports, period.
As leftists go about remaking reality to suit themselves or fooling themselves into thinking they're getting away with doing so, there are still a few pockets of resistance here and there. But Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-New York SSR) has just done his part to shore up the party line, insisting that "men do not compete in women's sports." Back in the real world, meanwhile, men who demand that the world treat them as women have now won nearly 300 titles in female sporting events. LifeSite News reported Tuesday that during a recent congressional hearing, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) "wanted to enter into the record stats on females injured by male athletes as well as stolen titles." ... Nadler, however, was having none of it, declaring peremptorily that "men do not compete in women's sports." How could Manhattan's legislative hero claim such a thing? Well, you see, trans women are women, in Jerry's conformist world, and so as far as he is concerned, all those men pretending to be women in women's sports are really just women. He did, however, go so far as to add a small caveat: "Transgender women [sic] may compete in women's sports." He also huffed, in reference to Hageman's attempt to put statistics about men winning women's sports titles into the congressional record, that he objected to filling the official account of the learned disquisitions of our patriotic elected officials with "mistruths."Speaking of girls injured by males in sports: The bearded six-footer who injured two girls in one game was, allegedly, kicked out of girls rowing because he ogled a girl's breasts in the locker room and said "ooh, t*tties!" Remember, this is a girl, the same as every other girl, and if you don't agree, you'll be arrested. In a small but growing number of jurisdictions.
Wow, what makes this bearded six-foot-plus man so good at every girl's sport he tries? It's a mystery, we'll never know for sure!
A transgender school athlete who was filmed knocking down a rival player played five other female sports and was allegedly suspended from a rowing team for leering at a girl's bare breasts in the changing rooms. The 6-foot tall student at KIPP Academy in Lynn, Massachusetts, injured three opponents during a girls' basketball game on February 8. Video from the incident quickly went viral. Collegiate Charter School of Lowell forfeited the game to avoid losing any more players ahead of the playoffs, and KIPP withdrew from its next game after backlash. The same transgender student, who is aged 17 or 18, not only competed in girls' basketball, but in rowing, volleyball, hurdles, shot put and tae kwon do, according to a report from Australian magazine Quillette.
I actually think it was two -- a third girl was injured, but not by this Towering Bearded Female.
Before video of the game drew national outrage, the student - sporting a stubbled beard - was featured in a volleyball promotion for an All-Star game on November 9.
The 6-foot tall student at KIPP Academy Lynn in Massachusetts injured three opponents during a girls' basketball game on February 8, a moment that was shared in a viral video.
... Her rowing activities made teammates so uncomfortable she was suspended and kicked off the team, according to a report to the US Senate. The student competed for a private rowing club in Massachusetts in 2021-22, before an alleged 'direct case of harassment' in her team's changing rooms. The March 20 report to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee by Republican Senator Bill Cassidy used male pronouns for the student. 'The male athlete was caught staring openly at one of the female athletes while she changed her clothes in the women's locker room and remarked, "oooh t*tties!"' it read. 'When a female athlete nearby asked if it was the first time he had seen female breasts, the male responded, "uhh yeah" with a laugh. The male athlete was suspended for this incident.' The report also claimed she 'caused many issues for the female athletes' on the team and they avoided using the locker room because of her. The US Center for SafeSport intervened after the incident and the transgender athlete never rowed for the male or female teams again. A letter to USRowing from 15 parents of the club's 40 female competitors in further claimed the girls were 'intimidated' into silence. 'Our daughters have stayed quiet because they are afraid. We tried to speak up for them, and we were shut down,' the letter read. 'We tried to speak to leadership at all levels. [But] name-calling and the threat of mental health is being used as emotional blackmail to keep us all quiet while women are harmed and devalued.' Parents said one girl on every trip had to 'take one for the team' and share a room with their transgender teammate. 'The rowing team also required the male athlete to room with them on trips. The girls spoke to us about quitting rowing because of the intimidation of being forced to be in a hotel room alone with a male,' it read.

Really? I had no idea that the oligarchy was just monied fascism with woke war-paint on.
This comes as a complete shock to me.They loved covid. They still do love covid.
Earlier this year, pollster Scott Rasmussen asked voters a simple question: "Would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose by playing fair?" The answers he got back were, as he put it in a Daily Signal podcast last week, "the most terrifying poll result I've ever seen." Among all Americans, just 7% said they would want their candidate to win by cheating. As Rasmussen put it, he'd rather see that number lower, but that's not bad. But more than a third of the elite 1% he surveyed would condone cheating. And among those who are "politically obsessed" -- meaning that they talk about politics every day -- that number shot up to 69%. Keep in mind that this elite 1% group is overwhelmingly liberal. According to Rasmussen, these are mainly well-educated urbanites who make more than $150,000 a year and think Joe Biden is doing a great job. Nearly three-quarters identify as Democrats. They are also highly influential when it comes to policy, and they are completely out of touch with everyday Americans. A few examples from the survey: * Nearly 60% say there is too much individual freedom in America -- double the rate of all Americans. * More than two-thirds (67%) favor rationing of energy and food to combat the threat of "climate change." * Nearly three-quarters (70%) of the elites trust the government to "do the right thing most of the time." * More than two-thirds (67%) say teachers and other educational professionals should decide what children are taught rather than letting parents decide. * Nearly three-quarters (74%) say they are financially better off than before COVID, compared with 20% of the general public.

Coming to jurisdictions near you sometime in the late summer/early fall.
The Deep State needs a new pandemic to justify another "fortified" election. Last month, the CDC gave up on covid-19. Its capacity to frighten Americans into submission had diminished too much.So wait -- how is the Deep State going to justify all the election-rigging measures they took in 2020, such as mailing hundreds of millions of duplicate ballots to hundreds of millions of unverified addresses, turning off all signature verification, "curing" ballots in blue districts by having FaceBook staffers "fix" them, etc.? ("Wait," you're thinking, "what does eliminating all ballot security have to do with fighting covid?" SHUT THE F*CK UP, PEASANT! YOU WILL BELIEVE WHAT WE TELL YOU TO F*CKING BELIEVE. WE CANNOT "SAVE DEMOCRACY" WHILE ANSWERING YOUR STUPID QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE ARE "SAVING DEMOCRACY" BY STEALING YOUR VOTE FROM YOU.) Surely the Deep State isn't going to just let an election happen without proper fortification? Don't worry -- fortification is on the way!
A case of Covid no longer means isolating for five days, according to the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Friday. It's the latest sign of the virus's normalization four years after it upended our lives. You should now follow the same precautions with Covid as you take with the flu, according to new guidelines from the CDC. That means staying home until you've gone a day with no fever and improving symptoms. Take other precautions for the next five days, including wearing a mask and limiting close contact with others. Those are the same steps the CDC recommends for other respiratory viruses.
"Covid-19 is still an important public health threat, but it is not the emergency that it once was," said Dr. Brendan Jackson, who leads the respiratory virus response for the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, on Friday.
"And its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other [respiratory viral] illnesses, including influenza and RSV."
It's that time of the election season again. Pandemic time! And this time it's angry!

The U.S. and other Western countries are considering transferring to NATO a U.S.-led multinational group that coordinates the shipment of weapons to Ukraine, one of several new proposals that could help maintain the flow of arms to Kyiv under a second Donald Trump presidency. During the NATO foreign ministerial meeting in Brussels Wednesday and Thursday, officials are expected to discuss a range of options, including gradually moving the organization -- called the Ukraine Defense Contact Group -- into the alliance's control, according to three European officials and a U.S. official with knowledge of the internal deliberations. The goal would be to finalize the move at the NATO leaders' summit in Washington in July, one of the officials said. ... Transferring the group to NATO would be a significant move toward cementing Western support for Ukraine's war for the foreseeable future, amid Europe's fear of the return of Trump to the White House. In the near term, domestic politics in the U.S. and other countries is already threatening to cut off funding to send Kyiv additional weapons. Formalizing the group within NATO would go a long way toward protecting support for Ukraine from changes in U.S. and Western governments, experts said -- and particularly from Trump. "There's a feeling among, not the whole group but a part of the NATO group, that thinks it is better to institutionalize the process just in case of a Trump re-election," said Jim Townsend, a former Pentagon and NATO official. "And that's something that the U.S. is going to have to get used to hearing, because that is a fear, and a legitimate one. "Pulling this under NATO kind of isolates it from a Trump presidency, or even from a U.S. that might get distracted by China and can't keep it going or can't get his own funding act together," he added.
Mitch McConnell, for his part, says he's staying in the Senate to fight for the promiscuous foreign interventions that have served us so well this century.
Despite his plans to step down as party leader, McConnell said, "I'm not leaving the Senate." He added, "I'm particularly involved in actually fighting back against the isolationist movement in my own party and so many others as well." McConnell mentioned Ukraine's fight against Russia, a cause to which the US has allocated tens of billions of dollars. "The symbol, lately, is 'are we gonna help Ukraine or not?' And I think it's extremely important that we do that," McConnell said.Some people thought the "symbol" was whether or not we're going to defend the American border, but you disagreed.
... McConnell said that he finds it "more troublesome" that others appear to be "heading in that direction, making arguments that I think are easily refuted." He added, "We're not losing any of our troops, the Ukrainians are the ones doing the fighting. If the Russians take Ukraine, some NATO country would be next and then we will be right in the middle of it."Ah -- the Domino Theory. It just gets more and more compelling every f*cking decade. Completely coincidentally, Biden just made up a new rule based on his authority as tyrant which purports to guarantee the subversive, traitorous Deep State their jobs for life.
The Biden administration has implemented a new rule making it more difficult to fire federal workers, a move that comes as former President Trump promises a 'deep state' revamp. The rule aims to protect nonpartisan civil servants from political interference, ensuring they can carry out their responsibilities in the best interest of the American people. Key Details: The new rule bars career civil servants from being reclassified as political appointees or other at-will workers who can be easily dismissed. The rule is a response to "Schedule F," an executive order issued by Trump in 2020 that sought to reclassify federal employees and reduce their job security protections. The rule clarifies that civil service protections accrued by employees cannot be taken away regardless of job type and that policymaking classifications apply to non-career, political appointments. ... The new rule could counter a future Schedule F order by outlining procedural requirements for reclassifying federal employees. It also clarifies that civil service protections accrued by employees cannot be taken away regardless of job type and that policymaking classifications apply to non-career, political appointments. The rule has been applauded by good government groups and liberal think tanks, who view cementing federal worker protections as a top priority. This is especially important given the conservative Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025," which calls for replacing existing government employees with conservative alternatives to eliminate what some Republicans call the "deep state" governmental bureaucracy.

So much cultural enrichment it's literally killing us.
Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, a migrant man who has been deported seven times, has been charged with aggravated murder in Hamilton, Ohio. The 46-year-old, who has allegedly used multiple aliases and birth dates, has been jailed 11 times since his first arrest in 2001. Key Details: Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez has been deported from the U.S. seven times and has been jailed 11 times. He has allegedly used at least seven different names and three different birth dates. He is currently in the Butler County Jail on an ICE detainer, weapons charges, drug possession, and obstruction. Diving Deeper: ...People who have been deported multiple times but keep coming back shouldn't be deported again. They'll just come back. They should be given a permanent home in America, and that home is a federal prison. At least in that case we'll know where they are and all of their crimes will be limited to a single place. In more Cultural Enrichment news, the illegal alien who boasted of scamming the American welfare system with his "gold mine" infant daughter is being investigated for illegal possession of a gun. You know, that Infernal Object that leftists want to take away from law-abiding people while meanwhile refusing to jail criminals (Democrat voters) who illegally possess them.
There is ongoing debate over the responsibility of preventing individuals like Garcia-Gutierrez from entering the U.S. This involves cooperation between local law enforcement and the U.S. judicial system. Nelson Balido, chairman of the Border Commerce and Security Council, questioned why Garcia-Gutierrez was continuously jailed and released. He asked whether the judge was responsible or if ICE was not called for deportation.
Leonel Moreno, the "migrant influencer" who mocked America on social media and encouraged migrants to squat in the homes of US citizens, is facing potential federal firearms charges, The Post has exclusively learned. Internal federal documents reviewed by The Post show the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been in contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding Moreno, and is mulling charges against him. The exact charges are not known, but sources said they would likely be brought under a section of the Gun Control Act which prohibits those on parole from possessing, shipping, transporting or receiving firearms or ammunition.As I said before, they're only throwing the book at this one illegal -- who is not so different from millions of other illegals -- because he's mocking Biden's policies and showing them for the grim farce they are. They want to flood this nation with illegals. They just don't want US citizen normies to notice. This guy makes the normies notice, so the DOJ and INS and ATF are called in to make this PR problem go away. His crime isn't illegal entry or welfare scamming or illegal possession of a firearm. Leftists routinely decline to prosecute such cases. His crime is embarrassing the left with the consequences of their policies seven months before an election. Trump's press secretary announced that a Trump election will result in the biggest mass deportation in history. Newsmax:
Appearing on "American Agenda," Leavitt said, "In Michigan, just last week, we learned that there was another heinous Biden-migrant crime: the killing of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia at the hands of an illegal immigrant." "President Trump," she added, "will put American citizens first. He will launch the largest mass deportation operation of illegal criminals in history; while [President] Joe Biden doesn't mention these stories or these American families that are grieving."

Based on current performance, the Navy projects the first Columbia-class SSBN will deliver 12 to 16 months later than its contractual delivery date of October 2027. The submarine is built by General Dynamics’ Electric Boat and HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding. This is particularly worrisome because the vessel is expected to deploy shortly after its post-delivery testing and training. The Navy is obligated to have 10 SSBNs ready to deploy, lurking beneath the oceans while carrying nuclear missiles. The service is counting on the lead Columbia boat to deliver in 2027 so it can go on its maiden patrol in 2031. With any delays, the Navy will dip below the requirement. Guertin said the Navy took significant steps prior to the pandemic to reduce risk on this program and accelerate the schedule where possible. “COVID happened. Supply chain changed. Workforce greening happened,” he said, but previous risk-reduction steps kept the pandemic impacts “as minimal as possible.” The Columbia program, the Navy’s top acquisition priority, is the least delayed of the new programs assessed in the shipbuilding review, Guertin said. [Bolding mine]That's sh*t planning. Maybe fewer photo ops with transsexual sailors and pregnant "warfighters" and a few more late nights trying to keep our country safe. But the worst and most damaging thing is the pathetic nods to the country-killing communist concept of global warming! It is subsuming the only job these people have. That job is to make sure that America can fight and win wars. Any other focus is anathema to their mission and must be ruthlessly stamped out. That alliteration is coincidental...who is pushing "global warming" as an existential issue? The left. And who controls the left? Having a "Green" armed forces is indistinguishable from having a second-rate armed forces. Spending precious time and money on planning planes and tanks and trucks that get better mileage and don't emit CO2 is rank stupidity and is going to get lots of soldiers and sailors killed, and maybe lose us a war. Allowing green initiatives to slow the production of vital military hardware is criminal, and these people should be cashiered. Read the article. It is a mass of excuses for the Pentagon's abject failure to do their only job! Understanding the complexity of shipbuilding is admittedly a far more daunting task in 2024 compared to the planning for shipbuilding during WWII, when we could produce a Liberty ship. They took eight months to build at first, and that dropped to a bit more than one month by the time production ramped up. But that was 80 years ago, and the Department of Defense has grown in complexity along with its ships. There is simply no reason for these delays other than failure. Our country used to reward success and punish failure. What has happened to us? [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter]

From J.J. Sefton
In light of a medical situation back in February that I had hinted at, you may have wondered about yesterday's Morning Report and connected the dots. Unfortunately, your instincts are correct. After suffering some sort of seizure back in February, while the initial MRI and spinal tap showed nothing, a subsequent MRI this past Friday evidently seems to indicate that I might have some sort of brain tumor/growth that would require immediate attention. As in surgery. That said, on a positive note -- and I'm holding onto this bit of news as positive with all my might -- the medical neurology team and the surgical neurology team are apparently still reading the tea leaves to see what kind of surgery, if any, is required to deal with this. I am hoping against hope for that non-surgical option but am preparing myself as best as I can for whatever is to be. I'll know more in the coming days, but obviously this means that I will have to step away from the blog and the podcasts for some extended period of time. Many of you have asked how I am able to wade through the outrages and nightmare scenarios we find ourselves in day after day and still cope. Hell, maybe that's what caused what's happening in the first place, despite my viewing it as a way to let off steam and the satisfaction I get from writing these columns. No matter what, I hope to be able to once again be on these pages, at CJN and Taki's Magazine. I thank all of you for your support, prayers and comradeship since I first stumbled across this place nearly 20 years ago. God bless you all.Posted by: CBD at 07:45 AM | Comments (464) | Trackbacks (Suck)
