• If true, the Biden team's reported grovelling to Tehran is beyond shocking

"I have written many times — as here, here, and here — about the astonishing desperation of the Biden administration to make a deal with Iran over its nuclear programme.
...The Biden administration was ready to de-list the IRGC if Iran would agree not to target Americans implicated in the killing of IRGC-Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani by a US armed drone in January 2020.
...“That proposal has been rejected by the Iranians. Iran has come up with a counterproposal that the US is now considering”.
Just consider the implications of this...Read all.

Having reviewed all 10,903 such certificates, Greg’s analysis supports the conclusion that the vast majority of Minnesotans was not at serious risk of death from COVID-19 and that the campaign of fear and intimidation was simply wrong. 

Greg’s viral Alpha News column setting forth his analysis is “Who died of COVID-19 in Minnesota?” 

Subhead: “Only 291, or 2.67% of the 10,903 certificates we examined, were ‘COVID only’ with no comorbidity listed.”...Read all.

Does Joe Biden need to eat a Snickers or is he just OLD? - TheBlaze: 

According to Joe Biden, Putin's invasion of Ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices worldwide. The president claims that 70 percent of the increase in inflation was the consequence of Putin's price hike because of the impact on oil prices. However, the notable thing about Biden's speech is less about the words he said and more about how he said them.

JULIE KELLY: The same FBI operation that ginned up the phony kidnapping plot in Michigan also tried to coax a Virginia man to participate in a similar scheme against Governor Ralph Northam.

Defense attorneys successfully argued that multiple FBI agents and informants attempted to induce the men to commit the crimes and blasted the government in closing arguments.

“That’s unacceptable in America,” Fox’s attorney, Christopher Gibbons, told the jury on April 1. “That’s not how it works. They don’t make terrorists so we can arrest them.”...

It’s pretty clear that the FBI was electioneering here, as it was in pushing the now-exploded Russian-collusion claims. If you’re looking for an actual insurrection, it occurred with in the FBI and the political class generally, who abused their power specifically to get rid of a democratically elected president in order to install one who was manifestly unqualified for the job.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds...Read all!

"Oops, he did it again. Pope Francis, who, throughout his papacy, has done a lot more political “activating” than “poping,” declared during a Good Friday interview that the West is guilty of widespread “racism,” while also claiming migrants are “subdivided” by skin color and country of origin. 

And that’s just for starters.
During the lengthy interview on Italian television, as noted by Breitbart: “We are racists, we are racists.”

There’s first-class, second-class, skin color, [whether] they come from a developed country [or] one that is not developed.

We are racists, we are racists. And this is bad.

Judge issues a stinging defeat for Stacey Abrams and her campaign for governor of Georgia - TheBlaze: 

A judge ruled Thursday that Stacey Abrams could not begin making use of unlimited campaign donations, because she isn't yet technically the nominee for the Democratic party for the governorship of Georgia. The law allows unlimited campaign donations through the use of leadership committees, but those can only be set up by official nominees of parties running in the election.
