Will we see a repeat this summer of the infamous 1968 Chicago Democratic National Convention that devolved into chaos and anarchy? This year’s convention is, like 1968, set to take place in Chicago and social unrest is percolating on the Left, to say the least.
In a recent interview on Fox News, Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn.—who challenged President Joe Biden in the Democratic Party presidential primary—said that given our current course of events, history is likely to repeat itself.
“I’m afraid this is looking awfully like 1968 with a lot of anger and angst and disenfranchisement that I think are going to play out on TV this summer, and it’s going to be awfully contentious,” Phillips said on Wednesday.
In 1968, anti-Vietnam War and various other far-left protesters descended on the Windy City to protest the party’s presidential nominating convention.

The situation escalated when then-Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, a Democrat, had enough and unleashed the Chicago Police Department on the protesters.
The media at the time strongly criticized the Chicago Police Department, but many Americans strongly sympathized with the authorities, who desperately sought to restore order. The events of the convention likely swayed a lot of voters concerned about violent radicals taking over their cities. Many in the media sided with the protesters, while the American people largely sided with the police.

The chaos was likely one of the reasons Republican Richard Nixon defeated Democrat Hubert Humphrey in November 1968. Preelection chaos created by the Left led to the “silent majority” delivering Nixon a resounding victory.
Given the protests we’ve seen across the country in recent months and the pressure the Left is putting on Democrats over Israel’s war in Gaza, it’s hard not to think that this year’s Democratic convention could see similar protests.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has said that safety is a “top priority” for the convention, but he’s hardly the law-and-order mayor that Daley was. In fact, Johnson has supported defunding the police, has openly sympathized with the anti-Israel protesters, and even made it clear that he’s nothing like Daley.
As my colleague Tony Kinnett noted, Johnson has said he’s a different kind of Democrat. In a certain sense, Johnson’s attitude is a sign that in the long-term, the New Left factions that protested in Chicago in 1968 “won.” (More on that later.)
While prominent Democrats and members of the media insist that 2024 won’t be like 1968, it’s difficult not to see that a storm is potentially brewing.
There have already been significant protests at Chicago universities, pro-Palestine groups have sprung up around the city (some spouting chants like “Death to America!”), and a large group of anti-Israel protesters raised a Palestinian flag near where the Democratic convention is set to take place Aug. 19-22.
There’s no question that Democrats are already getting nervous about what might happen.
The 1968 convention was a seminal moment in both the history of the Democratic Party and the United States. It signaled a long-term takeover of the party and various other institutions by the New Left.
Given that the comparisons will continue to be made, it’s worth looking back at what happened 56 years ago.
In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson had elected not to seek a second term despite winning a landslide in 1964. Even though the Vietnam War had been conducted by Democratic presidents, the party had turned in an antiwar direction. This became a flashpoint for a party that had become increasingly divided.
The common narrative of the Chicago Democratic National Convention in the years that followed was that it was a “mostly peaceful” protest of the Vietnam War, broken up by a brutish and out-of-control Chicago police force.
That’s not exactly accurate.
The reality is that the well-organized protesters were looking to pick a fight to bolster their cause, as historian Stephen F. Hayward described in his book, “The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order, 1964-1980.”
“The Chicago police reacted to a calculated provocation,” Hayward wrote. “And, like the case of fighting schoolchildren, where the second child to strike a blow is the one usually caught by the teacher, the media caught the police reaction and attributed it as the cause of the violence.”
Hayward explained how plans to disrupt the convention began as early as December 1967 and were the product of three main groups.
Those groups were the Youth International Party, or the “Yippies”; the National Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam, or “Mobe”; and the Students for a Democratic Society, the SDS. The factions had slightly different agendas for what they wanted to pull off in Chicago.
The Mobe generally wanted a peaceful protest to take place, though it wasn’t exactly averse to causing mayhem—and potentially, violence.
“It would be a mistake to think that the fight against the war can be won in the ballot box,” said Mobe leader David Dellinger. “It still has to be won on the streets.”
The Yippies wanted something more like a giant street festival. They announced a plan to put LSD in the Chicago water supply. Chlorine treatment of the water would have neutralized any threat to the Chicago population, but the Chicago police took the threat seriously enough to put officers in front of the city’s filtration plants.
The Students for a Democratic Society were looking for a fight. Hayward noted that the reasons the SDS was looking to ratchet up violence is that they saw liberal antiwar presidential candidates like Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy as a threat.
For leaders of this movement and others on the far Left, the entire American system needed to be overthrown. They weren’t looking for peace in Vietnam; they were looking to overturn the American way of life and government.
While the three factions plotted different tactics to achieve their goals, they were nevertheless united behind a larger agenda.
They wanted to sow chaos as much as possible so that they could eventually shove their more moderate cohorts on the Left aside and take the reins of power. They wanted to agitate, disrupt, and put the most pressure possible on Democrats to bend to their will.
Humphrey frequently mentioned on the campaign trail that he wanted to bring the “politics of joy” to the country. The activists were having none of it.
“We are coming to Chicago to vomit on the ‘politics of joy,’” SDS leader Tom Hayden wrote before the convention, “to expose the secret decisions, upset the nightclub orgies, and face the Democratic Party with its illegitimacy and criminality.”
Given the other events of 1968, it isn’t hard to see why the Democratic convention became a mess in hindsight.
Two riots had already taken place in Chicago earlier in the year. Civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was fatally shot in April and Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June.
Many college campuses had been in turmoil in the spring. Student protesters had practically shut down Columbia University and occupied Hamilton Hall before being cleared out by the New York Police Department in late April. Yes, I’m still talking about 1968 here, not 2024.
By August, the mood was still deeply unsettled. The Democratic race came down to Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine. While the party had conceded a great deal to the antiwar wing, it wasn’t nearly enough to appease the activists.
There were late attempts to move the convention to Miami, but they didn’t come to fruition. Johnson, who remained a powerful influence in the party, was alleged to have said that “Miami is not an American city.” The show went on.
The 1968 convention was set to take place for four days in Chicago’s International Amphitheater, starting on Aug. 26. Before the events kicked off, protesters began gathering in the city.
Daley was hesitant to issue permits to the protesters, but consented to let them gather miles from the convention in Lincoln Park. He then changed his mind and ordered Chicago police to implement an 11 p.m. curfew.
Again, while many of the about 12,000 protesters who showed up in the city likely wanted to conduct a peaceful protest, the organizers knew that it would be easy to manipulate the situation to initiate violence.
More from Hayward:
[H]ard-core leaders of the Left knew it would be easy to manipulate the situation into a violent confrontation with police—and be able to blame the police.
Chicago’s police were notoriously aggressive toward protesters and rioters. [Daley] had famously ordered his police to “shoot to kill” arsonists and looters during the riots that followed King’s assassination in April. (It should be noted, however, that no one was shot during the convention riots.)
Once the protesters had been pushed out of Lincoln Park, all hell began to break loose as the protesters violently clashed with police, who used tear gas and billy clubs to disperse the crowd.
It wasn’t just police clashing with the protesters. Daley brought thousands of National Guardsmen into the city, too, with the governor’s consent.
Violence continued to ramp up around the city as the protesters continued to clash with police, and members of the media got caught up in the melee.
Aug. 28 saw the most significant day of violence at the so-called “Battle of Michigan Avenue,” which was televised live. That night, Humphrey secured the nomination as police clashed with protesters who had attempted to march on the convention.
Authorities put up barricades around the convention site and tightened up security even further for the final day of the convention, where protesters twice tried to get into the convention hall, but were rebuffed.
Hundreds of protesters and police officers suffered injuries during the scrums and authorities arrested more than 650 people.
Though many prominent Democrats blamed Daley for the violence that took place, Daley naturally disagreed.
He argued that calling on the police and National Guard was necessary to suppress people who were intentionally creating violence and disorder.
Daley gave a speech addressing what had happened.
“In the heat of emotion and riot, some policemen may have overreacted,” he said. “But to judge the entire police department by the alleged action of a few would be just as unfair as to judge our entire young generation by the action of this mob.”
Daley further said that while he didn’t condone any violent actions, he also would not permit a “group of violent terrorists to menace the lives of millions of people, destroy the purpose of this national convention, or take over the streets of Chicago.”

SDS leader Hayden said that the result of the Chicago protests was “100% victory in propaganda” and said he hoped that what happened in Chicago would be repeated around the country whenever Humphrey showed up at a campaign stop.
From the perspective of the New Left activists, the chaos was seen as a victory. The fact that several prominent members of the media were injured in the events was a bonus that would lead to sympathy and positive coverage for their cause, or so they said.
But attitudes around the country were hardly universal. Most Americans sided with Daley and the police over the activists, and many thought the police should have been even more proactive.
“A poll taken shortly after the riots found that 71 percent of Americans thought Chicago’s security measures were justified; 57 percent thought the police had not used excessive force, while 25 percent thought the police had not used enough force,” Hayward wrote.
In a sense, both the activists and their most stalwart opponents benefited politically from the Chicago convention.
The moderate wing of the Democratic Party continued to lose power and influence. The party was forever changed by what had transpired, and popular narratives took hold that the activists were on the right side of history, while the authorities were simply reactionaries.
On the flip side, a rising coalition on the Right—fed up with the urban chaos and intentional agitation—would deliver the White House in a landslide to Nixon.

Senator Tim Scott recently appeared on the Sean Hannity show and called out the liberal media for ignoring Joe Biden’s relationship with Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who at one point in his life was a member of the KKK.
Scott and Sean brought up other examples of Biden’s racism, such as his ‘Jungle’ comments about school bussing and the fact that even Kamala Harris criticized him for that before she was chosen to be his running mate.
Tim Scott then goes on to talk about why Biden’s coalition is falling apart.
Breitbart News reported:
Tim Scott: ‘National Media Goes Dark’ on Joe Biden’s Association with Racist, KKK Member
During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) highlighted how the national media have seemingly downplayed President Joe Biden’s association with the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV).
Byrd is an admitted former member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a topic that Scott claimed the media had gone “dark.”
“The thing that is the most unbelievable to me and if it were a Republican probably would be career-killing, which is him partnering with his friend and mentor, a former Klansman to stop the integration of public schools and busing,” host Sean Hannity said. “Even Kamala Harris criticized him for that — in that — that presidential primary debate in 2020. I was that girl, I believe she said, and because he didn’t want public schools, his words, to be racial jungles. Am I like the only one in the country that that dares to bring this up and ask incredulously why doesn’t anyone care about that?”
Here’s the video:
This is one of the reasons that Democrats and the media don’t like to talk about the history of the parties. The KKK was founded by Democrats and the Republican party was founded to end slavery in the United States.

The AMC Network has put a ‘trigger warning’ on the classic mobster movie Goodfellas over what they claim are cultural stereotypes.
Stereotype or not, the film is based on the true story of Henry Hill, who was part of the mob for years. The other characters are also based on real people.
Also, if they were going to put a warning on this movie, wouldn’t it make more sense to tell people about all the murdering and other violence? This is just so dumb.
The New York Post reports:
AMC slaps ‘Goodfellas’ with trigger warning for ‘offensive’ content that includes ‘cultural stereotypes’
They’re whacking a classic.
AMC Networks added a trigger warning to the classic mob movie “Goodfellas” — rankling those who were in the film and wiseguys alike.
“This film includes language and/or cultural stereotypes that are inconsistent with today’s standards of inclusion and tolerance and may offend some viewers,” a message reads at the top of the film when screened on the network.
The warning was first affixed to the movie during the height of Black Lives Matter riots when many businesses and cultural institutions made avoiding offense to various groups a core part of their missions…
“The f–king political correctness has f–king taken everything away,” Bo Ditel, a former NYPD cop who played a police officer in “Goodfellas,” told The Post. “This is how life was back then. It was not a clean beautiful thing. You can’t cleanse history. If you want to tell true history, you gotta tell it the way it is.”

Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has come forward with serious allegations against health agencies, claiming they suppressed information about significant side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in younger populations.
Dr. Robert Redfield worked as CDC director from 2018 to January 2021.
According to Dr. Redfield, the potential risks associated with the vaccines were deliberately downplayed, which has led to severe health complications for some individuals.
During a televised discussion with Chris Cuomo, a COVID vaccine-injured himself, Dr. Redfield expressed his concerns about the lack of transparency from major public health institutions such as the NIH, FDA, and CDC.
Dr. Redfield suggested the establishment of an independent review commission, akin to the post-9/11 commission, to thoroughly investigate the decisions made during the pandemic across both the previous and current administrations.
Cuomo: “I mean, the question is, what could we be doing about it? Do you believe that we should have a review commission, a la the 9/11 Commission, not sitting Congressional members, who take a look at all the decisions made during the pandemic for both administrations to see what was right, what was wrong, and what needs to be different?’
Redfield: “You know, Chris, I think it would be useful. The reason I say that is there’s been so much credibility lost in the public science groups, NIH, FDA, CDC, because I think there was a lack of really just transparency. One of the things I used to tell my colleagues, “Don’t be afraid to say you don’t know the answer.” And all too often, people would make up the answer.
“And as you know, those of us that tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines, we, like with the rest of your show that you had early on, we got canceled because no one wanted to talk about the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines because they were afraid that that would cause people not to want to get vaccinated.
“The reality is, I was part of Warfree; these are important vaccines. We saved a lot of lives. They’re important for the most vulnerable people, those over 60, 65 years of age. They really aren’t that critical for those that are under 50 or younger. But those vaccines saved a lot of lives. But we have to be honest, some people got significant side effects from the vaccine.'”‘I have a number of people that are quite ill, and they never had COVID, but they are ill from the vaccine, and we just have to acknowledge that.'”

Earlier this month, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials found evidence that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines caused multiple deaths before claiming that there was no evidence linking the vaccines to any deaths. However, the CDC hides this key information from the public.
The US public health regime and the bootlicking media have been routinely downplaying the risk of developing myocarditis after taking the vaccine, calling the occurrence “mild” and “rare,” and systematically burying any evidence to the contrary.
According to the documents obtained by The Epoch Times, CDC employees conducted investigations into reported post-vaccination deaths, particularly focusing on cases involving myocarditis, a known side effect of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
Their findings, spanning the end of 2021, highlighted instances where myocarditis was listed on death certificates and in autopsies for some individuals who had received the vaccines. In some cases, myocarditis was even attributed directly to vaccination.
The file also showed instances where deaths met the CDC’s definition for myocarditis, with symptoms appearing within 42 days of vaccination and no virus-related symptoms present.
Despite these findings, the CDC maintained that it had seen no signs linking the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA vaccines to any deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
Read more below:
In 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that CDC officials admitted the agency had withheld critical COVID information from the public, including data about breakthrough infections, over fears of ‘vaccine hesitancy.
Throughout the pandemic, the CDC has diligently maintained a running tally of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths for the public to view – you know, all of the numbers that make up the majority of virus fear porn.
But that information amounts to just a fraction of the data that has been collected by the agency.
Within the data that has been withheld by the CDC are detailed information about breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, which the agency has been collecting since the beginning of the vaccine rollout, according to officials who spoke to the NYT.
So much for the bogus lie that has been pushed by public health officials for months, claiming that breakthrough infections weren’t being tracked at all. The medical elites just decided to hide the data because it didn’t fit the approved narrative, and, naturally, blamed the potential for ‘misinformation’ as justification for the coverup.

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, of Georgia, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in December for what the Justice Department called an “elaborate scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fictitious paperwork, and cash kickbacks.”
On Monday, Furlow-Smiles was sentenced to five years and three months in prison plus three years of supervised release. She has also been ordered to pay restitution of $4,981,783.58 to Facebook and $121,054.50 to Nike, for a total of $5,102,838.08.
“Furlow-Smiles shamelessly violated her position of trust as a DEI executive at Facebook to steal millions from the company utilizing a scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fake invoices, and cash kickbacks,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “After being terminated from Facebook, she brazenly continued the fraud as a DEI leader at Nike, where she stole another six-figure sum from their diversity program. Her prison sentence reflects the consequences of her decision to orchestrate an intricate scheme to defraud two of her employers for personal profit.”
According to a press release from the Justice Department, “Furlow-Smiles served as Lead Strategist, Global Head of Employee Resource Groups and Diversity Engagement at Facebook, Inc., now known as Meta Platforms, Inc., doing business as Meta. From January 2017 to September 2021, she led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives, operations, and engagement programs. In her position, Furlow-Smiles had access to company credit cards. She also had the authority to submit purchase requisitions and approve invoices for authorized vendors of Facebook.”
“Furlow-Smiles used her position at Facebook to cheat and defraud the company. She caused Facebook to pay numerous individuals for goods and services that were never provided and then directed those individuals to kick back the fraudulent proceeds to her, often in cash. Her scheme operated in two ways,” the press release explained.
“First, Furlow-Smiles linked PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App accounts to her Facebook credit cards and used those accounts to pay friends, relatives, and other associates for goods and services that in truth were never provided to Facebook. To conceal the bogus charges, Furlow-Smiles submitted fraudulent expense reports, falsely claiming that her associates or their businesses had performed work on programs and events for Facebook, such as providing swag or marketing services, when in fact they had not done so.”
After receiving the money from Facebook, the individuals would return the majority of it to Furlow-Smiles.
“Second, Furlow-Smiles caused Facebook to onboard several vendors that were owned and operated by friends and associates who paid her kickbacks. Furlow-Smiles approved fraudulent invoices for these vendors. After Facebook paid the invoices, Furlow-Smiles directed the vendors to return a portion of the money they received to her.”
According to the DOJ, Furlow-Smiles stole over $4.9 million from Facebook and over $120,000 from Nike “based on fictitious charges and fraudulent invoices. She used the money to fund a luxury lifestyle in California, Georgia, and Oregon.”

This weekend, the Georgia GOP held their state convention in Columbus, Georgia amidst chaos after a year of politically-charged indictments and election exposés.
For example, while President Trump is being indicted along 18 original co-defendants for challenging the 2020 Election results in the Peach State, former Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections (BRE) member Mark Wingate testified that no signature verification was done on mail-in ballots in Fulton during the 2020 election. He also stated that Fulton County didn’t provide anything, “not even a sampling,” in regards to chain of custody for the “most secure election ever.”
Wingate and another Fulton County BRE member would ultimately vote not to certify the vote, while the three others voted to do so, despite missing signature verification and chain of custody documents.
Fulton Co not only wouldn’t provide chain of custody documents to citizens for transparency, but they WOULDNT PROVIDE IT TO THEIR OWN CERTIFYING BOARD.

On May 7th, 2024, the State Election Board (SEB) met and discussed the investigation report from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office regarding SEB complaint 2024-025 brought by Kevin Moncla of the Election Oversight Group and Joe Rossi. The Gateway Pundit has covered this complaint and the SEB previously.
During the hearing, SEB member Dr. Jan Johnston asked many questions of the investigators and the counsel for Fulton County that were present. This included missing ballot images, missing .sha validation files, duplicate ballots, voting tabulators that are missing adequate and required documentation, and more.
This weekend, Dr. Johnston addressed the Georgia GOP State Convention. During her speech, she pointed out how insecure our elections are in comparison to other functions:
“One county. Three counts. Three different results. 380,761 ballot images from one county, from Election Day, on the first count, that are not found.
“17,875 ballot images from the recount that cannot be found. Thousands of ballots, or vote counts, that were duplicated.
“Think about it. First count: 528,776. Second count: 525,293. Third count: 511,727. Final count of 527,925. Those numbers don’t match.
“Let me tell you…I’m an old surgeon. When I operate, we count every needle. Every sponge. And every instrument that used in the operating room when we operate on the patient. We count them by hand. We count them three times. And if they don’t match, we don’t leave the operating room.
“After three years of the diligent and dedicated hard work of a middle-Georgia engineer who complained about the counts not being correct in this one county, it took us three years to hear this case.
And I apologize profusely to Mr. Joe Rossi and Mr. Kevin Moncla for taking so long.”
The above-mentioned individuals plan to file a new complaint demanding they be allowed to respond to the investigation presented to the SEB. A recently enacted policy at the SEB has now forbidden complainants from being able to speak at the hearing concerning their complaint.
At least one of the complainants has come under tremendous scrutiny since this complaint was finally heard. If you would like to donate to help with legal expenses and continued investigations in SEB Complaint 2023-025, you can donate here.

Sally Dreckmann, 52, the daycare owner, and her employees Traci Innie, 51; Kaitlin Filardo, 23; and Jessica Foster, 23, have all been charged with ten counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
According to the Manchester Police Department, the melatonin was being given to the children without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
KFOX 14 reports, “Dreckmann’s arrest comes after a lengthy investigation after Manchester police detectives got a tip in November 2023 about ‘unsafe practices going on’ at the daycare at 316 Amory Street.”
Melatonin is an over-the-counter drug used to induce sleep.
“This is an over-the-counter drug that can be given as a sleep aid, but for it to be given to children without the knowledge or consent of the parents, it’s very concerning,” Heather Hamel, a Manchester Police Department spokesperson, told local station WHDH.
Hamel said that the melatonin was sprinkled into the children’s food during lunch.
KFOX notes, “It’s unknown how much melatonin was used and how long the suspects had been using melatonin on the children.”

The father had initially taken the baby and its mother hostage around 3 a.m., but she managed to flee and find a group of construction workers who called the police for her.
The Surprise Police Department said in a statement posted to social media, “Officers learned a female victim had been held hostage inside her residence by the father of her child since 3 a.m. that morning. After breaking into the home, the suspect would not let the victim and their infant child leave, causing the victim to fear for her and the child’s safety. The victim was eventually able to get away from the suspect, and sought help from a nearby construction crew who called police. Officers learned the infant was still inside the home with the suspect.”
“When officers arrived at the residence, they heard multiple rounds of gunfire from inside,” the statement continued. “A Surprise Police officer fired one round in response toward the residence where the suspect was located, and officers quickly worked to force entry and rescue the infant who sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Officers and tactical medics immediately rendered aid to the victims.”
The infant was airlifted to a nearby hospital in serious condition, but it is believed that the injuries are non-life threatening.
The police department said that shortly after 3 p.m., a fire started in the residence while the suspect was inside.
“Fire crews could not tend to the fire due to the possible threat and sounds of gunfire coming from inside the house. The condition of the suspect will be unknown until it is safe for investigators to enter the residence.”

The proof is in the numbers. The number of illegals released into the US is very high. Friday’s statistics showed that about 3,500 were released with court dates in the distant future.
The Border Patrol released about 2,000 illegal aliens yesterday with another 1,400 plus at ports of entry. A lot of these illegals are released on the CBP One App, which is over 1,200 plus illegals per day.
Despite lower border numbers, thousands of migrants continue to be released into the U.S. every single day.
Per CBP sources, yesterday alone, roughly 3,500 released into U.S. w/ NTA court dates.

The San Diego sector has seen a major increase in Chinese illegal aliens crossing the border. Per CBP, over 200 Chinese illegal aliens were apprehended at the San Diego sector of the southern border for two days in a row earlier this month.
Under crooked Joe Biden and his regime, there has been an estimated 10 to 12 million illegals that have crossed the border.
That number equals about the population of 41 individual states.
What it comes down to is that the Biden regime is intentionally leaving the border open. Their goal is to destroy America and replace our culture.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has continually forsaken his responsibility to protect the border. In February, Mayorkas was on NBCs “Meet the Press” and dodged all responsibility for the border mess.
“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.
“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

The Federal Government has a responsibility to protect the country from invasion under Article IV, section 4 of the US Constitution.
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution.
The Biden administration has put illegal aliens ahead of the safety of Americans. Illegals run through the streets committing crimes and are given free housing and money. At the same time, we have homeless veterans who have served their country and have been abandoned by Biden and the Democratic party.

Joe Biden on Saturday arrived in Atlanta to pander to black voters at a campaign event.
Biden’s motorcade passed through bright blue Atlanta in his presidential motorcade on Saturday and nobody cared.
A few people who were strolling around town on a Saturday caught a glimpse of Joe Biden’s motorcade driving through Atlanta.
There were no Biden supporters holding up ‘Biden 2024’ flags in bright blue Atlanta in a state he supposedly won in 2020.
Nobody was cheering as Biden passed through. Bystanders looked bored.

“My opponent is not a good loser, but he’s still a loser,” Biden said as he lied about his years “playing ball.”
“Folks, Trump isn’t running to lead America. He’s running for revenge,” Biden said Saturday. “And look, revenge is no way to lead a country.”
Of course, this is pure projection.
“Georgia is the reason I’m president right now,” Biden said.

Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Friday to talk Ukraine, her new book, and the US Military’s soft coup against President Trump during his first term.
Tulsi recently released her latest book, For Love of Country. You can purchase at the link here.
It is obvious in this interview that Steve Bannon is very impressed with Gabbard’s foreign policy assessments.
Steve Bannon: Walk us through about how they try to countermand, because I say, Hey, You saw it in the Joint Chiefs with Gen. Millie, you saw all these guys. It’s essentially, to me, a coup. The Commander Chief gives orders, and they’re not implemented. You saw this, and you saw it particularly in Syria.
Tulsi Gabbard: We saw how President Trump’s orders as Commander and Chief and President were slow-rolled by people within the Pentagon and the State Department to the point where ultimately, Turkey decided to go and attack our allies and partners on the ground fighting against ISIS, the Kurds. It put the Department of Defense into this emergency situation where they had to immediately, within 24 hours, try to evacuate our troops out of there, an order that President Trump had given long before then.
You had the special envoy to Syria from the State Department, James Jeffries was his name, who openly touted the fact that he was going against President Trump’s orders and trying to make another deal that would have had a very different outcome than the one President Trump outlined. And not only did he do this behind closed doors, he touted this openly in public and was celebrated by people in the media and the bureaucrats and different politicians in Washington.
The point here is the lesson learned and takeaway is in order to fix these problems that are deeply broken in the administrative state in Washington, the State Department, Department of Defense, in order to walk us back from the brink of World War III and nuclear war, President Trump needs to surround himself with people of courage, people of conviction who are rooted in the Constitution and who are interested solely in serving the best interests of our country, not the permanent Washington establishment, so that he doesn’t once again see what is essentially a slow rolling coup take place during his presidency.
Tulsi on Joe Biden
Tulsi Gabbard: People who believe in freedom and the Constitution are now being labeled Right Winger. That’s the state that we are in today.
Steve Bannon: You all the time. I mean, your transition, the thing I love about this, this talks about your journey, right? Yes, it does. Why should people buy this book right now with money tight? What is it about Tulsi Gabbard you’re going to learn and you’re going to want to keep? Why should they buy this book?
Tulsi Gabbard: For those of you who are interested in my progression from being a Democrat for almost 20 years to being an independent and to being a strong advocate, a passionate advocate for our country, for our freedom and our Constitution, I go into in each chapter great detail of what I took away from these experiences, serving at the highest levels of Democrat politics in Washington and why I am warning every American that if President Biden and Kamal Harris are allowed to stay in power, we will see the end of freedom in America and the end of democracy in this country that we love.
Steve Bannon: Hold on, you’re saying that if they’re reelected, you’re going to see the end of democracy. I mean, Ray Dalio just said yesterday, Hey, it’s going to be a civil war. Everything’s going to happen. You’re saying it’s the end of democracy if they’re reelected?
Tulsi Gabbard: It’s not a guess, Steve. It’s looking at what they’re already doing. They’re already censoring our freedom. They are already undermining our democracy, trying to keep President Trump off the ballot in over 32 states, making it so we, the people, don’t even have the right to choose who we want to vote for in this election. The use of welfare, the weaponization of the Department of Justice and law enforcement. I go into detail in each of these examples, providing evidence to back up what I’m saying here and what is at stake in this election. This is bigger than Democrats and Republicans. This is a message for all Americans. If you already know what I’m saying, talk to the people close to you in your life, maybe friends or family members or coworkers who still need to be convinced about the truth of what we are facing. My book and my ability to deliver this message as a former Democrat, I think will be very effective.

“The library violated our First and 14th Amendment rights,” Allie Snyder, a member of the organization and one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit told the local ABC 10.
“The library changed its policies to promote the First Amendment rights of all people who use libraries in Yolo County. And it also agreed a payment of damages and attorneys fees for shutting down that event initially,” Matthew Hoffmann, with Alliance Defending Freedom, told the outlet.
Hoffman is one of the attorneys who was representing Snyder and the organization.
The settlement also allowed the organization to make up for the original event.
“We were able to refer to boys and men in women and girls sports, and how unfair this was and how dangerous that is,” said Snyder.
County officials agreed to update the library’s policies to ensure staff “shall not interfere with presentations or other speech by individuals or groups that have reserved meeting rooms, based on the content of such speech.”

** Please help John Eastman cover his lawfare costs here.
President Trump’s election lawyer John Eastman on Friday was arrested in Phoenix on conspiracy, fraud, forgery and other felony charges related to the 2020 Trump alternate electors plan even though he had ZERO communication with the Arizona electors!
Last month Trump 2020 alternate electors, GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward and others were indicted by a state grand jury in Arizona.
A total of 18 people involved in the Arizona alternate electors plan were indicted by the Arizona grand jury last month.
Trump lawyers Christina Bobb, Jenna Ellis, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman were indicted.
President Trump was named “Unindicted Coconspirator-1” in the indictment because he made a phone call about the ballot counting to former governor Doug Ducey.
Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes announced last month. She defended her witch hunt and the curious timing of the indictment – just months before the 2024 general election. Make no mistake, the charges are a warning shot to anyone who may want to challenge the 2024 election.
“We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electors scheme in our state,” Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a video announcing the charges. “I understand for some of you today didn’t come fast enough. And I know I’ll be criticized by others for conducting this investigation at all. But as I’ve stated before, and we’ll say here again, today, I will not allow American democracy to be undermined.”
Eastman voluntarily surrendered to arrest and was booked and arraigned in Phoenix on Friday. He pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, fraud, forgery and other felony charges, the Arizona Sun Times reported.
John Eastman, flanked by his legal counsel, briefly spoke with reporters in Phoenix on Friday after he was arraigned.
“These charges should’ve never been brought. I pled not guilty. I had zero communications with the electors in Arizona. Zero involvement in any of the election litigation in Arizona or legislative hearings. I’m confident that if the law is faithfully applied I will be fully exonerated at the end of this process,” Eastman said in a statement.

Although the Biden regime is doing everything to allow illegals to enter into the US, the Texas DPS is working hard to protect their own state.
Earlier this week, the Texas DPS arrested 29 illegal aliens from a stash house in Webb County, Texas. They were from Honduras and Mexico, 21 of them males, and 8 were females. One of those was a member of the “Tango Blast Gang.” DPS troopers handed over the illegals to the Border Patrol.
So far, Texas DPS under Operation Lone Star have found over 500 stash houses which housed over 4,900 illegal aliens in total.

Alice Stewart, a former GOP advisor, Trump critic who did not believe in election fraud, and a CNN political commentator, has died unexpectedly at the age of 58.
Her passing was confirmed after her body was discovered early Saturday morning outdoors in the Bellevue neighborhood of northern Virginia, according to CNN.
Authorities indicated that no foul play is suspected in her death, suggesting that a medical emergency may have been the cause.
Mark Thompson, CEO of the far-left CNN, expressed deep sorrow over Stewart’s passing in an email sent to staff.
“Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN,” Mark Thompson said.
“A political veteran and an Emmy Award-winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN’s coverage, known across our bureaus not only for her political savvy, but for her unwavering kindness. Our hearts are heavy as we mourn such an extraordinary loss.”

CNN reported:
Stewart started her career as a local reporter and producer in Georgia before moving to Little Rock, Arkansas, to be a news anchor, she told Harvard International Review. She went on to serve as the communications director in then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s office before assuming a similar role for his presidential run in 2008.
She also served as the communications director for the 2012 Republican presidential bids of former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and then former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, also a former CNN commentator. Most recently, Stewart was the communications director for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s 2016 GOP campaign.
CNN hired Stewart as a political commentator ahead of the 2016 election, and she appeared on air frequently to provide insight on the political news of the day, including as recently as Friday on “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”
“We always invited her to come on my show because we knew we would be a little bit smarter at the end of that conversation,” Blitzer told Jessica Dean on “CNN Newsroom.” “She helped our viewers better appreciate what was going on and that’s why we will miss her so much.”
The news of Stewart’s death comes as a shock, particularly since she appeared on CNN just yesterday. She made a post on her Instagram just a day before her death.
Daily Mail reported that “She appeared to lead a relatively healthy lifestyle and only last month posted photos of her taking part in a 10 mile run, nicknamed the Cherry Blossom run, in Washington D.C.”

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) on Thursday spoke to The Gateway Pundit during the ongoing House Judiciary Committee hearing to advance measures to hold corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s audio interview with Joe Biden.
The Gateway Pundit reported that on Thursday afternoon, the House Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with a resolution to hold corrupt Garland in contempt for refusing to provide the tapes from Hur’s interview, which exposed the current White House occupant as nothing more than an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Later on Thursday evening, the House Oversight Committee also voted 24-20 to recommend that Garland be held in contempt of Congress.
The transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, obtained by House Republicans, shows that Biden couldn’t even remember when he was Vice President or when his son Beau died of brain cancer.
Joe Biden kept classified documents next to his Corvette in his garage, but prosecutors refused to pursue criminal charges against him. Meanwhile, President Trump is facing 40 charges for “improperly” storing classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago home.
Visibly rattled by the efforts to hold him in contempt, Merrick Garland told reporters Thursday that the Justice Department does not need to comply with a congressional subpoena because the DOJ is “a fundamental institution of our democracy.”
This comes after a last-minute attempt by the Biden Regime to assert executive privilege over the audio tapes. As The Gateway Pundit reported, White House counsel Ed Siskel lashed out at the House GOP in an angry letter, accusing them of only wanting the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political reasons. The truth is, they don't want the public to see exactly how braindead alleged 81 million vote-getter Joe Biden is leading up to the 2024 election.
"They don't get to give us the transcript, and then because the audio is so damning and shows Joe Biden as someone who's most likely too incompetent to be president, now, they're trying to say we don't get to have the audio or the video," Representative Hageman told The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson. "If they've already turned over the transcript, we're also entitled to the audio and video."
Watch below:
Conradson: How is it that Democrats always seem to get away with defying congressional subpoenas?
Hageman: I think it's because so many of the institutions in Washington, DC are staffed with leftists as well. Merrick Garland is a hack. He's a political hack, and he's shown that over, and over, and over again. His willingness to ignore the law in order to protect Joe Biden and to further the Democrat agenda has been on display for the last several years. So, the reason we're seeking to hold him in contempt is we're trying to get a hold of the audio of the interview with Special Counsel Hur and Joe Biden. We already have the transcript. And now, they're trying to argue that there's some kind of executive privilege. Well, if they were going to argue that, they needed to argue it over the transcript. They don't get to give us the transcript, and then because the audio is so damning and shows Joe Biden as someone who's most likely too incompetent to be president, now, they're trying to say we don't get to have the audio or the video. So that's what this is about, because they don't get to determine in what, I guess mechanism, when we get the information. If they've already turned over the transcript, we're also entitled to the audio and video.
Conradson: I wanted to talk about that. Joe Biden tried to assert executive privilege over the audio. Are they again, trying to interfere in the election, make sure the American people can't hear him incoherently rambling?
Hageman: That is exactly what it is. They don't want the American public to see how Joe Biden is failing in terms of mental acuity. That's what this is about. We're trying to make sure that we have the audio because the finding of Mr. Hur was that he was essentially too incompetent to stand trial. That's what Mr. Hur found in his report. And if that's the case, then he's obviously too incompetent to be President of the United States. And so, reading a transcript, you're not going to see things like how often he paused, or how he looked confused, or how he slurred his words, all of those things, which I think are important, not only for our oversight responsibilities with the committee but also for the American public to see. They're entitled to see it.

KABC reported the shocking incident occurred about 9:30 a.m. Thursday on Slauson Avenue near Edgemar Avenue in Ladera Heights, a small unincorporated community in Los Angeles County.
Jerry Garcia, the witness who recorded the video, shered his thoughts on the incident in an interview with FOX 11 Los Angeles.
“It was just crazy, a naked man jumping out of the bush from the roof and onto the street,” Garcia said. “Just speechless because you’d never expect a naked man running in front of you during your day.”
Garcia also told the outlet he recalled seeing a dazed look on the man’s face.
“Just very confused; I don’t know what he was on or what was going on through his head, but yeah, very confused, like kind of out of it,” Garcia said.
As KABC reported, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department revealed the man’s family called deputies to the home for help. The man’s family said he was undergoing a mental health crisis and had multiple self-inflicted lacerations.
The mentally disturbed man was transported to a local hospital after being struck by the vehicle. KABC reports he is currently in stable condition.

Candyce Leigh Carter, 35, also had drugs in her classroom at the Spotswood Elementary School in Fredericksburg.
The teacher was charged with felony possession of schedule I/II narcotics, felony child endangerment, and felony child neglect or abuse, according to the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office.
According to a report from Fox News, “During the incident, Carter’s husband was found in the school parking lot in a vehicle, also under the suspected influence of narcotics, and required medical attention, police said.”
The husband has been identified as Kristopher Donald Carter.
A two-year-old child was also inside the vehicle.
The husband was charged with felony child endangerment and felony child neglect or abuse.
“Both Carters have been incarcerated at Rappahannock Regional Jail. Candyce Carter is being held without bond. Kristopher Carter is in jail under a $5,000 bond,” Fox reports.
It is not believed that any students were exposed to the drugs.
“No students reported injuries or exposure, but were checked by medical personnel out of abundance of caution and the classroom was professionally cleaned,” the sheriff’s office said.
While Spotsylvania County Public Schools has not announced if Carter is fired, School Board Chair Lorita Daniels said that they take “all reports of alleged personnel misconduct very seriously and follows applicable district policies and procedures.”
“Spotsylvania County Public Schools takes all reports of alleged personnel misconduct very seriously and follows applicable district policies and procedures when responding to and investigating complaints,” Daniels said in a statement to FOX 5 DC. “The district appreciates the quick action of our Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Department. We will continue to work diligently to ensure all students and staff remain safe while in our schools.”

This is Joe Biden’s America.
New data from the CBP reveals that over 434,000 illegal aliens have been flown into the US under crooked Joe Biden’s CHNV parole program.
CHNV is an abbreviation for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. This parole program allows up to 30,000 “non-citizens” per month from those countries to be considered entry into the US by being flown directly into the country.
The accumulated total under this program is 184,600 from Haiti, 101,200 from Venezuela, 91,100 from Cuba, and 75,700 from Nicaragua.
NEW: Per new CBP data through April, at least 434,800 migrants have flown directly into the US and have been paroled into the country via the Biden administration’s controversial CHNV mass parole program. This includes:
184,600 Haitians
101,200 Venezuelans
91,100 Cubans
75,700…— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) May 16, 2024
When TGP had reported on this in April, the total was at about 404,000 illegals. Since then, it has been an increase of about 30,000 illegals. This does not include the overwhelming statistics of the border invasion that is happening on a daily basis.
The program allows up to 2 years for the recipients to stay in the US. ICE currently does not have the resources to pursue individuals who stay past their allowed time. Currently, the DHS does not see them as a priority for removal.
Since the Biden regime took over in 2021, approximately 10 to 12 million illegals have invaded the US. The CHNV program is a smaller percentage of the overall border and illegal invasion of our nation. Whether illegals are being flown in, or directly crossing the border, it is evident that Biden is intentionally bringing these illegals into the US.
Fox reporter Bill Melugin had reached out to the CBP to ask for the nationalities of the suspects arrested that were on the terror watchlist under the Freedom of Information Act and was denied. They prioritized the privacy of these suspects to what they said outweighed “minimal public interest.”
ICYMI: CBP is refusing to turn over data I sought in a FOIA request regarding the nationalities of suspects on the terror watchlist arrested by Border Patrol.

The Biden regime has continuously put the interest of illegal aliens over Americans in regards to safety, enforcement of law, and for the general overall good of the American people.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has shown that he has no intention of securing the border. In February he was on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and dodged all responsibility for the border crisis.
“Do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border?” Kristin Welker asked.
“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

Some people think that the latest ground offensive by Russian Federation forces in the Northeastern Ukrainian Kharkov Oblast is nothing but a distraction.
It would be designed to drag defenders away from the vital Donetsk theater of operations, where Moscow has made steady, meaningful gains ever since the conquest of the key city of Avdeevka.
The main Russian objective in this war, it may be reminded, is the conquest of the Donbas regions, Luhansk – almost entirely conquered – and Donetsk, where the main fighting now is raging around Chasov Yar and other directions.
But other well-informed people, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, think that the Kharkov offensive is for real, and may develop in successive deadly waves of attack.
The truth may be that it is both of them, in the sense that Russian Federation forces have designed a style of fighting that is very flexible, and can exploit Ukrainian weaknesses wherever they may appear.

Because of the scandal involving the lack of defensive structures in Kharkov, and with the revelation that oligarchs stole a fortune that should have been used to build them, Zelensky went to Kharkov to ‘inspect’ them.
During the visit, he said reinforcements were flocking to the country’s north to defend this strategic city.
Europe 1 reports that this is ‘the perfect plan for Russia’ and its 35,000 to 50,000 soldiers flocking to Kharkov, a very strategic city for Kiev.
“Ultimately, the trap set by the Russians seems to be working, because Moscow’s objective is to force the Ukrainians to move troops towards the north. This maneuver could then allow the Russians to open breaches in the south and complete the conquest of the entire regions of Donbas.
At the same time, the Ukrainian army is struggling to line up 250,000 men on the front line. ‘In all the brigades, there is a 40% shortage of personnel’, underlines a French military source to Europe 1. ‘We are facing a wave of desertion among young conscripts’, confirms a Ukrainian officer. ‘In Kiev, they no longer talk to us about armaments but about recruitment problems’, continues a French soldier returning from the front after an observation mission.”
Europe 1’s sources state that ‘Western chancelleries are preparing coordinated diplomatic action to convince Volodymyr Zelensky to accept the principle of negotiations’.
Zelensky has been seen “inspecting” trenches near Kharkov.
He was previously seen “inspecting” impregnable defences near Bakhmut and Avdeevka.

WaPo writes about the fact that, while Russia’s new offensive across Ukraine’s northeastern border was expected for months but still surprised the Ukrainian defenders.
Reconnaissance drones monitored Moscow’s was build-up of forces, but the morning the attack happened, all their video feeds were disrupted by Russian electronic jamming.
Starlink devices failed for the first time since the start of the war. They were completely blind.
Washington Post reported:
“Begrudgingly, Ukrainian troops admit that their enemy has gotten smarter and adapted, especially with technological advancements such as electronic warfare — a sharp contrast with the first year of the invasion, when Russia’s own blunders and overconfidence allowed the Ukrainians to hold key cities and later liberate large swaths of territory in successful counteroffensives.”
WaPo allows itself to wonder out loud if Russia may soon overpower Ukraine’s forces and seize more territory.
Ukrainian troops say that “every time the units stationed here tried to build fortified lines, the Russians — using their own reconnaissance drones — would monitor their activity and fire on them.”

Groups of Russian infantry attack in waves.
“The Russians also drop glide bombs, sometimes weighing half a ton, every 15 to 20 minutes, said the commander of a reconnaissance unit in Khartia whom The Post is identifying by his call sign, Navigator. Unlike missiles, the bombs themselves can’t be intercepted by air defense once they’re dropped from Russian aircraft. This is one reason Ukrainians have pleaded for F-16 fighters, which would be able to challenge the encroaching bombers.”
Ukrainian defenders must constantly change their positions, and before an attack, a Russian drone with electronic warfare capabilities will fly over the area to disrupt communications.

Sputnik reported:
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the advance of Russian troops in the Kharkov Region as ‘only the first step’ in a new offensive in an interview with Agence France-Presse, admitting that the Kiev regime lacks air defense systems and needs more military personnel.
The new offensive of the Russian army, which began in the Kharkov region, may consist of several waves, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky told Western media.
Zelensky said that in the Kharkov region, where the Russian Armed Forces went on the offensive in early May, ‘there was the first wave’. He called the situation there ‘controlled, but not stabilized’.
He also admitted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have problems with ‘morale’ amid a shortage of weapons and soldiers.”

Chauvin was stabbed 22 times by fellow inmate John Turscak at the medium-security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Tucson, Arizona, in November.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Lynnette Kimmins ruled on Wednesday that though Turscak is entitled to represent himself, he must still be granted “advisory/standby counsel” and “reasonable access to ‘law books, witnesses, or other tools to prepare a defense,'” according to NBC News.
The trial date set for next month was also moved to August 20, with a deadline of August 2 for Turscak to make a plea agreement.
NBC News reports:
Federal prosecutors said Turscak told them he had been thinking about assaulting Chauvin for about a month because the former officer was such a high-profile inmate.
Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury, according to federal prosecutors.
He also allegedly told federal prosecutors that he chose the day of the attack — the day after Thanksgiving, known as “Black Friday” — to symbolize the Black Lives Matter movement and the “Black Hand” symbol of the Mexican Mafia. According to a criminal complaint, Turscak told corrections officers that he would have killed Chauvin had they not responded so quickly.
Turscak was scheduled to be released from prison on June 4, 2026, before the attack.
The Tucson prison is notorious for poor security and staffing issues.
Chauvin was the officer filmed kneeling on George Floyd during his fatal interaction with police. His death caused nationwide Black Lives Matter riots throughout the summer of 2020.
Chauvin is currently serving simultaneous 21-year sentences for violating Floyd’s civil rights and second-degree murder.

Law school Dean Troy McKenzie pleaded with a student holding a Palestinian flag to stop disrupting the event and leave the stage, saying, “You made your point.”
But the disruptions didn’t stop brave six-year-old Eden Rose Neiger from joining her graduating mother, Devorah Neiger, and two siblings from walking on stage to mark an important moment for her family.
Once on stage, Eden raised a picture of a purple heart she drew while waiting in the audience and handed it to Dean McKenzie.
Her proud father, Edward Neiger, said, “The mood and energy completely changed – she got the biggest applause of the whole ceremony.”
According to The New York Post, Edward added, “There was tension in the room – you didn’t know what was going to happen next. While some students disrupted the ceremony with symbols of hate, Eden drew a purple heart as a symbol of love.”
“She got such resounding applause” in a day that was dominated by “darkness,” said the mom, noting that the politically charged acts were “really jarring and shocking.”
“You just have to sit there and take it – you don’t want to stoop to that level, even though every part of your body wants to stand up to them,” said Devorah Neiger, who added that the artistic gesture was her daughter’s decision alone.
“We did not put her up to this.”
As they left the stage, Eden told her mom, “That was kind of brave of me.”
Judy Kayne, a Westchester teacher in attendance, was in full agreement.
“All of a sudden, this little girl gets up on the stage with her mother holding a piece of paper with a big heart,” recalled Kayne, who said it elicited standing ovations. “It was very powerful to me – the innocence of a child is all you want in this world. It was beautiful – children don’t know about hatred. That picture is sort of the answer to all of this hate.”

Two youthful Bank of America employees suddenly passed away this month for reasons yet to be determined.
The most recent death was 25-year-old Adnan Deumic, who worked in the United Kingdom for Bank of America. Fox Business reported he died from “cardiac arrest” while playing soccer Thursday night, merely two weeks after a 35-year-old investment banker for the company passed away unexpectedly, reportedly due to a blood clot.
A Bank of America spokesperson confirmed Adnan Deumic’s death to Fox Business.
“The death of our teammate is a tragedy, and we are shocked by the sudden loss of a popular, young colleague,” the spokesperson said. “We are committed to providing our full support to Adnan’s family, his friends, and to our many employees grieving his loss.”
Deumic, originally from Sweden, was quite active in sports, including ice hockey. Before working for Bank of America, he interned at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Nordic investment bank ABG Sundal Collier.
Earlier this month, Wall Street was alarmed after learning about the death of 35-year-old Bank of America associate Leo Lukenas III, a former Green Beret and a member of the bank’s Financial Institutions Group. He left behind a wife and two young children.
Lukenas was reportedly working about 100 hours a week for several weeks on a $2 billion merger that was completed last month.
A Bank of America spokesperson told The New York Post following Lukenas’s death they were “very saddened” and promised to support his family.
According to Fox Business, Deumic was working closer to a standard workweek compared to Lukenas.
Some critics of Bank of America have alleged that the deaths of Deumic and Lukenas are tied to grueling working conditions at the company. The Post reported Bank of America employees began discussing a possible walk-out following Lukenas’s tragic passing.
Their deaths, though, have not been linked to working long hours at this point.

The Biden regime has fixed their sights on nonviolent pro-life protesters, sending them to federal prison for their efforts to save babies.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Seven pro-life activists were sentenced to prison this week for protesting at a late-term abortion clinic in 2020.
The activists were convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and “conspiracy against rights” for a sit-in protest at the Surgi-Clinic in Washington, D.C.
Three activists were sentenced on Tuesday, and four more were sentenced on Wednesday.
The Daily Wire reports:
On Wednesday, Jonathan Darnel, Herb Geraghty, Jean Marshall, and Joan Bell were all sentenced to prison. Darnel got 34 months in prison, Geraghty got 27 months, Marshall got 24 months, and Bell got 27 months. The sentences followed Tuesday’s sentencing of Lauren Handy to 57 months in prison, as well as John Hinshaw (21 months) and William Goodman (27 months).
During the protest, the pro-life protesters sang songs, prayed, locked arms in front of the facility’s staff entrance, and attached themselves with ropes and chains to block doors inside the building.
“As evidenced by today’s sentencings, the FBI and our judicial system will not tolerate the obstruction of civil rights,” said David Sundberg of the FBI Washington Field Office. “The FBI will continue to investigate FACE Act violations in all jurisdictions, so patients and providers can exercise their right to receive or provide lawful reproductive health care without the threat of violence or intimidation.”
In 2022, Handy, obtained a box containing 115 aborted fetuses from outside the Surgi-Center. Five of them appeared to be within the 26-32 week range, which is typically considered far enough along to survive outside the womb. Handy and other anti-abortion activists called on the District of Columbia to investigate if any of the babies had been born alive, but the city refused. Partial-birth abortion remains against the law in the district.
The Biden regime has made it clear that they will not prosecute actual violent criminals, gang members, or illegal aliens. Instead they chose to persecute nonviolent pro-life activists, moms that attend schoolboard meetings, faithful Catholics, and future presidents.
What other group of peaceful civil rights protesters faced this kind of federal persecution in recent history? Better question, why haven’t the violent rioters like BLM and Antifa faced this kind of prosecution by the DOJ?

2. Beef is challenging to acquire if it’s not purchased from retailers or directly from ranchers. Americans can grow a garden for vegetables and grains. Raising chickens is neither difficult nor expensive and does not require a large plot of land. Fish can be caught in accessible bodies of water. But acquiring and raising cattle is expensive and requires land, equipment, and expertise.
3. The beef industry would be the hardest to rebuild if it crumbles under the various crises. Chickens can be slaughtered as early as six weeks after hatching. Cattle are typically slaughtered after 14-20 months. If the beef industry is crippled, it would take far longer to replenish than chickens, fish, or pigs.

Under the new Title IX rules from the U.S. Department of Education, schools cannot discriminate “based on sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.”
The changes, which go into effect on August 1 — just in time for the new school year, require institutions “to take prompt and effective action when notified of conduct that reasonably may constitute sex discrimination in their education programs or activities.”
Those who do not comply will lose federal funding.
The lawsuits have been filed by Republican Attorneys General from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
All of the AGs are members of the Republican Attorneys General Association.
Alaska, Kansas, Utah, and Wyoming sued the Department of Education on Tuesday, accusing it of trying to “politicize our country’s educational system to conform to the radical ideological views of the Biden administration and its allies.”
The complaint notes that teachers, coaches, and school officials will be forced to “acknowledge, affirm, and validate students’ ‘gender identities’ regardless of the speakers’ own religious beliefs on the matter in violation of the First Amendment.”
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall accused Biden of using federal funding to force radical gender ideology on red states.
“Since taking office, Joe Biden has brazenly attempted to use federal funding to force radical gender ideology onto states that reject it at the ballot box,” Attorney General Marshall said in a statement. “Now our schoolchildren are the target. The threat is that if Alabama’s public schools and universities do not conform, then the federal government will take away our funding. Rest assured, Biden will not be successful.”
Attorney General Marshall continued, “Alabama parents do not share the Biden Administration’s goal of genderlessness in our schools. They remember what happened in Loudon County, Virginia, and in other schools across the country when governments sacrificed the needs and concerns of every female student to accommodate a few males. That is why Alabamians have supported laws that protect girls’ sports and girls’ bathrooms, as well as laws that prohibit gender ideology from being taught in the classrooms of our youngest pupils.”
“I am pleased to be among the first to challenge this ill-conceived rule that would infringe on the constitutional rights of students, parents, faculty, and the State of Alabama itself.” The attorney general concluded, “This rule highlights Biden’s seemingly endless cascade of failures when it comes to looking out for everyday Americans. I expect the rule to be struck down swiftly.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, one could not go five minutes without hearing the phrase “social distancing.”
The theory, according to the country’s leading scientific “experts,” was that by keeping a distance of six feet from one another, one could successfully protect the vulnerable from the COVID virus and save millions of lives.
Now it turns out it was all a lie.
Francis Collins, the former director of the National Insitute of Health, admitted in a closed-door interview earlier this year that he did not see any scientific evidence that social distancing was a proven method of containing the virus.
The Federalist reported:
On March 22, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued what amounted to placebo guidance advising Americans to avoid mass gatherings and remain at least six feet apart from each other. The businesses the government deemed essential — the supermarkets, the pharmacies, the big-box retailers — marked the dividing lines, two yards between life and death, on the floors and in checkout lines.
But Collins and crew, including the smug and self-righteous Dr. Anthony Fauci, the immunologist who ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a dangerously long time, made a very good living segregating a society at an unprecedented level. The damage done from the scientists’ sign-off on a long and cruel isolation experiment will take a long time to fully measure.
“The six feet of separation recommendation had real life consequences. This guideline made it nearly impossible for schools nationwide to re-open due to the pressure from teachers unions to follow this guideline. In addition, businesses had to adapt at great cost or risk complete closure,” states a Thursday subcommittee staff memo on the Collins interview.
Then comes the crux of the interview:
But the government-imposed individual internment camps were all worth it, right? Social distancing, plus deeply flawed vaccines, prevented 800,000 deaths, headlines last week proclaimed. But when asked whether he believed any science or evidence supported the six-feet rule, Collins said he did not.
“Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six feet?” a Covid subcommittee staff member asked the good doctor. “I did not see evidence, but I’m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point,” Collins replied.
But what about four years later? “Since then, it has been an awfully large topic. Have you seen any evidence since then supporting six feet?” the staffer asked.
No,” the former NIH director conceded.
So there you have it. Time and time again those of us, including The Gateway Pundit, who questioned every aspect of the COVID pandemic, from the lockdown regimes and mask mandates all the way through to vaccines and potential treatments, have been proven correct.
There was never any scientific basis for the decisions that were taken, although the political, societal and economic consequences were enormous.
As the famous Francis Bacon quotes goes, “Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.”

The offer is available for “anyone ‘Dolly’d Up’ – from being totally Dolly decked out to wearing a Dolly Parton wig or their favorite Dolly merch,” the doughnut giant said in the news release.

The “Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection” will be served to customers in a limited-edition custom dozens box.
The collection features:
“Having some of my very favorite southern flavors in one, unique doughnut collection from Krispy Kreme is so special to me,” Parton said in a Krispy Kreme press release. “These doughnuts remind me of home. So, I’m excited for folks to share them with their own family and friends. They’re pretty sweet, if I do say so myself!”
“Krispy Kreme and Dolly Parton have a special thing in common – we both love to share joy!” added Dave Skena, global chief brand Officer for Krispy Kreme.
“It was a joy – and an honor – to collaborate with Dolly to create her signature doughnut collection. These doughnuts are going to dazzle and delight fans just like Dolly herself,” Skena continued.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is launching mobile billboards Saturday in Dallas targeting former President Trump for his rhetoric on gun violence and reform.
The billboards, which accuse Trump of putting the gun lobby ahead of Texas families, were placed in the area outside of the venue where he is expected to give a speech before the National Rifle Association (NRA) convention.
They feature quotes the former president has made about recent gun violence and actions they argue show where his loyalty lies.

Maricopa County Recorder candidate Justin Heap destroyed incumbent RINO Stephen Richer Wednesday with one question for the audience during a debate at the Palo Verde Republican Women’s Club’s May 15 luncheon.
Heap asked the crowd to “raise your hand if you personally or someone you know received an extra ballot at your house during the last election cycle,” and nearly half the attendees raised their hand!
Heap: The fundamental and most important job of the County Recorder has to be to clean and maintain our voter rolls. And I suspect that, despite what Mr. Richer says, that he is cleaning it, that we are not doing it.
Now let me try to illustrate that. Please raise your hand if you personally or someone you know received an extra ballot at your house during the last election cycle. I’ve done this with hundreds of Republican groups; never fails that half the hands or a third of the hands go up. How does that happen if we are cleaning and maintaining our voter rolls? That is a massive error, and this is the reason that people do not trust the system. We are clearly not doing an effective job as you all just witnessed. I will clean up the voter rolls.
You can support Justin Heap for Maricopa County Recorder here. Story continues below…
The Maricopa County Recorder oversees early voting in the County. Heap will face Richer in Arizona’s July 30 primary.
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on election fraud in Maricopa County relating to mail-in ballots. This includes missing chain of custody documentation and forged signatures on phony mail-in ballots and ballots sent to the wrong addresses or even vacant lots.
The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson reported after reviewing a few hundred mail-in ballot signatures for votes that were counted in the stolen 2022 election that roughly 10% of ballots had questionable or outright fraudulent signatures:
Stephen Richer, who ran in 2020 claiming that he would stop election fraud in Maricopa County, now claims that the elections are not fraudulent and has come to be viewed as disgraceful among Republican voters for suing Kari Lake over her fraud claims.
The crowd booed him during the debate:
Attendees at the event used the opportunity to troll Richer in photos with the soon-to-be former County Recorder. Aubrey Savela, who, as The Gateway Pundit reported, received two mail-in ballots in the presidential preference election earlier this year, held up the peace sign "since [Richer] sent me 2 ballots back in March."

Ashley Earle held a thumbs-down, called Richer a b*tch, and likened him to Scott Evil, the whiny redheaded son of Dr. Evil in the film Austin Powers.
This Bitch actually thought I wanted to take a picture with him! How ‘bout no, Scott, okay…

Justin Heap later claimed victory in an X post, commenting:
Election Integrity won BIG on the debate stage yesterday!
I crushed the County Recorder & showed that the Voter Rolls are not being cleaned!
He wants more laws!
NO! We need a County Recorder who will follow the law!

According to a recent survey, two specific reasons for this are economic issues, such as the crippling inflation of Joe Biden as well as the Democrats’ rush to embrace the most extreme elements in their party.
Pollster Franz Luntz spoke with CNN and underscored the trend.
Luntz said, “But specifically, with black voters, it’s not all black voters. It’s younger Black voters and particularly younger Black men. I discovered this when I got off a plane at JKF when two baggage handlers come over to me and to tell me I don’t get it.”
“That they are going to vote for Donald Trump because they think are being victimized the same way he is.”
“In some of these votes that have left Joe Biden over the last four years, it’s because of Biden’s weakness. In this case, young Black men see in Donald Trump the same kind of oppression, the same kind of persecution. The idea that Trump is a victim and they feel victimized by the system and so they’re endorsing Trump because of the fight that he’s having.”
“And I actually think it’s possible that among Black voters, male Black voters under the age of 40, that a third of them could end up with Trump in the fall.”

The other 16 percent of cases are linked to people traveling from Peru and Chile.
The Daily Mail reports:
New information reveals that the spate of 57 cases at the Pilsen migrant shelter can be traced back to a one year-old boy who had only received one of the two vital vaccines.
The majority of the cases — 72 percent — were among unvaccinated people, the CDC said.
The report cites overcrowding at the center for the rampant spread, with 500 people said to be crammed into a single room.
The first patient had arrived in the US less than five months before he became ill. He had received one dose of the MMR vaccine five weeks prior to his rash.
He had no recent travel history or known exposure to measles, and was taken to the hospital on February 27.
The young child who was infected has now recovered, but it is unclear how many migrants were exposed to it at the shelter.
Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, who represents the neighborhood where the shelter is located, told NewsNation in March, “Right now, with this potential exposure to a rapidly spreading virus such as measles, it’s critical to have an isolation plan.”
The alderman continued, “People need to be in isolation while they are being tested and will learn more of the assessment while people are sheltering in place, and we will wait for the results of the tests.”
“This is, unfortunately, a process that is too long when you have 1,800 people (in the shelter),” Sigcho-Lopez said. “I recognize the process that has been made, but given how quickly this virus is spreading, we need to get people isolated.
“I think what we want from the governor is the commitment to better protocols so we can work toward better conditions and prevent cases like this.”

The Mirage hotel is closing in July, ending a 34-year run as a landmark on the Las Vegas Strip.
Hard Rock International said the hotel, which it bought in 2022, will close July 17, according to ABC.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas will take the place of The Mirage.
“The property will be reimagined and developed into a new integrated resort featuring a nearly 700 ft. guitar-shaped hotel prominently in the center of the famous Las Vegas Strip,” the company said, noting that the new hotel is scheduled for opening in 2027.
The signature design of the new Hard Rock Las Vegas will be a 660-foot-tall hotel tower shaped as guitars, which will be built on the site of Mirage’s iconic volcano that has been a popular attraction since the hotel opened in 1989.

“We’d like to thank the Las Vegas community and team members for warmly welcoming Hard Rock after enjoying 34 years at The Mirage,” Chairman of Hard Rock International Jim Allen said.
In April, the Strip lost another icon when The Tropicana Las Vegas closed just before its 67th anniversary. The Tropicana is supposed to be the site of a baseball stadium that will be the future home of the Oakland A’s.

The Mirage was opened in 1989 by casino mogul Steve Wynn, according to CNN.
MGM Resorts bought the hotel from Wynn in 2000. In 2022, Hard Rock International bought the property for over $1 billion.
The closing will cost more than 3,000 people their jobs, according to the Associated Press.
The Culinary and Bartenders Union accounts for about 1,700 workers, the Los Angeles Times reported. Union members will have a choice between taking a severance package of $2,000 for every year of service plus six months of pension and health benefits or a lower payout that preserves seniority rights for new jobs in the new hotel.
“Culinary Union members at The Mirage have a strong union contract, ensuring that workers are protected, even as the property closes its doors entirely for three years from July 2024 – May 2027,” said Ted Pappageorge, Culinary Union secretary-treasurer.
The new hotel expects to hire almost 7,000 people.
Resort President Joe Lupo told the staff Wednesday about the closing, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“We really are encouraged about not only the future of Las Vegas, but how Hard Rock and Seminole Tribe can play a role in helping to develop that and grow the market,” Lupo said. The Seminole Tribe owns Hard Rock International.
“But today is a tough day for a lot of people. Our priority is the well-being of those individuals,” he said.

Over the last 60 years, the BBC show Dr. Who has developed a cult following. The series has seen 14 actors in the title role, with actor Ncuti Gatwa most recently taking over.
Ratings for the current iteration, however, have been slipping, and Gatwa claims that it is because of racists who can’t stand seeing a non-white individual portraying the main character.
While the show has always had socially progressive roots, producer Russell T. Davies recently told Rolling Stone his current incarnation is written to be especially progressive.
Episodes in the newest season include redesigning a flip phone so it doesn’t look like a gun, a character defending a “non-binary” child against “transphobes,” and an entire episode dedicated to pushing abortion.
But for Gatwa, it couldn’t possibly be shoving an endlessly progressive agenda down viewers’ throats, causing a downturn in viewership.
It must be racism.
Bounding into Comics shared Gatwa’s recent interview with NPR.
From there, Deggan would turn to press Gatwa for his thoughts on the mountains of criticism fans have leveled towards Davies’ aforementioned decision to focus the series’ narrative on overt sociopolitical messaging – “If you’re not writing that [in 2024], what on Earth are you doing?” the showrunner declared during a previous interview with Rolling Stone – rather than entertainment.
However, instead of earnestly actually engaging with the substance of this very specific and widespread complaint, Gatwa instead moved to paint those fans who have tuned out of Doctor Who as nothing more than anti-black racists.
“I don’t want to diminish racial aggression at all, but for me, personally, I find it fascinating that it matters so much to these people,” said the actor. “You are going to limit yourselves from a show that you love because you don’t like something about someone’s appearance. It’s just, like, really sad for them.”
It should come as no surprise that the new, progressive-agenda-pushing version of “Doctor Who” debuted on Disney+ on May 14.

Workers removed the plants on Friday.
The Associated Press reports:
Tatyana Warrick, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Administration, told The Associated Press in an email Friday that workers had removed the plants, but that her agency couldn’t determine if they were marijuana or hemp. Both are forms of cannabis, but only marijuana has the compound that gets people high.
Warrick didn’t respond to questions about how the plants might have made it into the garden.
University of Wisconsin-Madison botanist Shelby Ellison, who examined the plants for WMTV before they were removed, told the station that they were cannabis plants. But she told The Associated Press on Friday that she couldn’t say for certain whether they were marijuana or hemp.
She said there were dozens of the plants in the garden, suggesting someone planted them intentionally.
“It was just a large number of plants for it to be anything accidental,” Ellison said.
Marijuana, in any form, is illegal in Wisconsin.

A low-life career criminal paid the ultimate price after breaking into a Florida man’s home and shooting his wife.
WESH reported that Highland County police officers responded to a suspicious incident at a home in Avon Park at roughly 8:30 p.m. Once deputies arrived on the scene, they found a male and female with severe injuries. Both were revealed to be 69-years-old.
In addition to the wounded couple, cops found there was a dead man not related to the couple inside the residence. Police identified the person as 62-year-old Lindsey Glenn and said he broke into the residence and shot the female victim in the face.
Highlands County Sheriff Paul Blackman told reporters Glenn gained entry into the couple’s home under a scam that involved the woman’s job as a notary.
After the male victim witnessed Glenn try to kill his wife, Blackman said the man grabbed a seven-inch garden knife and went to work on the intruder. Glenn ended up dying brutally as a result.
Blackman revealed the thug was “cut to pieces” and “very much deceased” when deputies found him. The sheriff thanked the male victim for his heroic actions.
“I would like to commend the male victim for his bravery and quick action in defending his wife and their home,” Blackman said. “This investigation is still very active and ongoing.”
Blackman went on to call the male victim, who is retired from Pride Industries, an “upstanding citizen.”
WFLA reported that it’s unknown whether the victims and the alleged perpetrator knew each other before the assault. The motive also remains unclear, but the sheriff’s office thinks that Glenn believed the notary would have cash on hand.
WESH revealed the female victim was transported to a trauma center and is expected to survive her horrific injury. The man was sent to a local hospital and has since been released.
Glenn has a long rap sheet with at least 12 different felonies according to Blackman. The crimes include robbery and burglary.
Blackman added that Glenn has been sent to state prison at least six times.

Indiana Fever’s head coach Christie Sides believes she needs to teach the greatest shooter in NCAA women’s basketball history when to shoot. She announced after the Fever’s latest drubbing that she was going to make Caitlin Clark, the game’s greatest three-point shooter of all time, into a two-point shooter.
Just how clueless is this coach?
Here is a reminder of some of the records Caitlin Clark set in women’s basketball in the NCAA while at the University of Iowa:

Clark was the player of the year in her junior and senior years in school and won numerous awards in the process.
But she joined one of the worst teams in the WNBA. Watching them play, you can see why they are so terrible.
To fix the situation, the coach of the Indiana Fever believes she needs to teach Caitlin Clark how to shoot better to remedy the situation… THIS IS INSANE!
Reporter: Christie, when you look at Kaitlyn, she took two two-pointers in the first preseason game, three today. Is there a balance? What are you seeing that’s causing that? Is there a balance you’d like to see with that, or is that something you plan to address?
Coach Christie Sides: Yeah, I think she’s used to some shots that she’s taken in the last few years that are just those deep shots. I don’t know if there’s times she comes off ball screens where she’s open in that long two area, and we’ve got to get her comfortable taking that long two. She’s going to get looks. She’s going to get open looks. She’s got to figure out, like I gave her a rule the other day, she’s got 0.5 seconds to make a decision. When she gets off the ball, and she hits one of our high posts and somebody in the high post, she has a habit of hanging out and dancing. That’s what she’s done. It’s these habits that we’ve got to break. She’s got players around her now that she can get out, she can go screen, and the ball is going to get back to her. That’s what she hasn’t had in the past. That’s what we’ve been trying to show her and explain to her.
Absolutely clueless. She wants to change basketball’s greatest shooter to fit her losing program! It is unbelievable!
She is out to destroy Clark and the league’s first major star in 28 years. What an ego!
Clark, the greatest shooter in women’s basketball history, only took eight shots in Thursday night’s game. She can’t score if she can’t shoot! Her lost teammates do not even look to pass to Clark. Clark spends a lot of time in the corner of the court based on the Fever’s coach’s directions. The team is happy throwing up airballs and ignoring Clark.
That is the problem!
The league is filling EVERY arena in the country where Clark is set to play in the coming weeks. Tickets are at an all-time high. The fans did not come to see Caitlin Clark sit in a corner and not shoot.
The clock is ticking… The WNBA better figure this out before it’s too late and they lose their new found fan base forever! Fans are not filling arenas to watch Clark take only 9 shots a game!
Other teams foul Clark and get away with it and Sides does nothing. Clark is called for fouls that look like non-fouls, Sides says nothing.
So the solution to the second-year head coach with a losing record, who’s 0-2 so far this year, is to teach Clark how to shoot better.
The solution should be to tell Clark to shoot every time down court. and tell her teammates to get her the ball.
That would be too easy.
How stupid. You better wake up!
