Despite the best efforts by the D.C. establishment and its judges, the Sussman trial is moving forward and with that comes <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/20/clinton-campaign-manager-denies-approving-passing-anti-trump-info-to-fbi-00034115">closer scrutiny</a> of the Clinton campaign.

<blockquote>
	
		The manager of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid, Robby Mook, testified Friday that the campaign did not instruct or authorize a lawyer to go to the FBI with claims of a potential data link between then-candidate Donald Trump and a Russian bank owned by allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

	
		That lawyer — former Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussmann — is on trial in federal court in Washington on a felony false-statement charge brought by special counsel John Durham, who claims Sussmann lied to the FBI when he said he was not acting on behalf of any client in relaying indications and internet data stream between a Trump-related server and one for Moscow-based Alfa Bank.
</blockquote>


	That particular smear, both discredited and explosive, is not the one most people are familiar with, but has shown how far the Clinton campaign was willing to go.


	Mook is denying any connection to it. But here's the buried lede.

<blockquote>
	
		Mook said he had no knowledge of Clinton approving Sussmann to go to the FBI with the server information on behalf of the campaign.

	
		“I don’t see why she would,” he said.
</blockquote>


	Having no knowledge is a different animal.

<blockquote>
	
		Mook confirmed that top campaign officials were aware of the Alfa Bank “secret server” allegations in the summer and fall of 2016, but said they favored handing them off to a reporter.

	
		“Going to the FBI does not seem like a very effective way to get that information out to the public. We do that through the media,” he said.

	
		Mook said that after discussions at the highest levels of the campaign, they decided to do just that. He also said that somewhere around that time he informed Clinton personally and she concurred.

	
		“I discussed it with Hillary as well,” Mook said. “She agreed to that. ... She thought we made the right decision.”
</blockquote>


	Seemingly, Hillary signed off on the media end of the smear campaign.


	But what Mook's really saying is that he was not in on the serious opposition research end of things anyway.

<blockquote>
	
		However, Mook said he didn’t know during the campaign a private investigation firm called Fusion GPS was doing opposition research for Hillary’s bid through the law firm.

	
		“I was not aware during the campaign of anyone they were engaging to do that work,” Mook said. “I did not know that they had been retained.”
</blockquote>


	If Mook is telling the truth, then he wasn't on that part&nbsp;of the loop anyway. But there's no reason to think that Hillary and her people weren't. So as a defense witness, Mook just serves the purpose of drawing a line between the campaign and its darker operations. That's the next step. The shadow campaign that spawned Russiagate.

	Nah. They have more money than<a href="https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/school-districts-are-struggling-to-spend-emergency-covid-19-funds-11652866201"> they know what to do with</a>. Every single outrageous property tax increase, teachers' union strike, and new budget pours insane amounts of money into a black hole that eats it up and emits nothing in return except more demands.


	We overfund the public school system and the vast majority of the money gets stolen, wasted, or sent off to politically connected consultants, woke textbook publishers, and the rest of the industrial educational complex.

<blockquote>
	
		U.S. school districts are struggling to spend billions of dollars in federal pandemic-relief money before the funding expires.

	
		Districts have yet to spend 93% of $122 billion sunk into the K-12 education system last year as part of the&nbsp;$1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, according to data compiled by the U.S. Department of Education.

	
		The money, the largest-ever disbursement of federal funding for American schools,&nbsp;is meant to address learning loss, mental-health problems and other issues in schools caused by the pandemic. Districts are spending the money on&nbsp;teachers, counselors, technology, after-school programs and upgrades to school facilities.
</blockquote>


	If we wanted to do that, we should have opened up the school system and allowed the money to follow students into educational institutions that, unlike the failed corrupt public school system, actually want to serve them.


	Instead, a bunch of school districts are going to frantically buy up office furniture from designated minority suppliers at a 300% markup and spend millions on diversity, equity and inclusion consultants.

<blockquote>
	
		“There’s a real pressure to show something for it,” said Nick Melvoin, a school board member for the 575,000-student Los Angeles Unified School District.

	
		The district, the nation’s second-largest, has yet to spend a penny of the $2.57 billion in American Rescue Plan money it received last year. It is still trying to use up a few hundred million dollars from earlier stimulus packages.

Joshua Katz, a respected linguist at Princeton, is not being fired because of an alleged relationship in 2006, but because he criticized woke abuses in 2020.


	At Quilette, Katz had courageously condemned efforts to silence free speech and eliminate academic freedom.


	"Independence of thought is considered the hallmark of academia, but everyone deserves it. In the United States, thank heavens, freedom to think for oneself is still a right, not a privilege," he concluded.


	In typical fashion, the radical leftists whom he had criticized in a restrained, civil and respectful fashion, unleashed the full fury of cancel culture and set out to destroy him.


	What followed was Lavrentiy Beria's&nbsp;"Show Me the Man and I'll Show You the Crime".&nbsp;


	Since none of the false claims that Katz was in any way a racist or had engaged in hate speech, could go beyond impotent fuming they had to find something else.


	And all <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/princeton-president-asks-board-to-fire-tenured-classics-professor-citing-sexual-misconduct-investigation-11653013224">this witch hunt </a>came up was this...

<blockquote>
	
		Princeton University’s president has recommended that the school’s board of trustees fire a tenured classics professor, concluding he didn’t cooperate fully in a sexual-misconduct investigation, according to a copy of his letter to the board’s chair reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
</blockquote>


	Salem witch trial judges would be embarrassed by this.&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		The report said that in 2018, Dr. Katz didn’t fully cooperate with investigators examining a consensual sexual relationship he had with an undergraduate student beginning in 2006, after her junior year, and continuing until her graduation. The student declined to participate in the investigation at that time.
</blockquote>


	We know exactly why&nbsp;Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber wants Katz fired. He told us so himself in an op-ed in 2020, deeming his speech "irresponsible and offensive."


	"Our policies, however, protect Katz’s freedom to say what he did, just as they protected the Black Justice League’s. He can be answered but not censored or sanctioned," Eisgruber claimed.&nbsp;


	Now he grubbily seeks to bypass those policies.


	"Show Me the Man and I'll Show You the Crime".

Predictable and despicable.


	From Obama spokescreep Tommy Vietor (above) to cult leader and presidential candidate Marianne Williamson all of lefty Twitter, the blame for leftists failing to sweep primary elections and oust incumbents is... the Jews.


	If it wasn't for those pesky Jews, the Squad would have grown three sizes overnight.


	A whole lot of money has been pouring into primary races on both sides. The decision by leftists to make the outcome of the primaries about "Jewish money", about a Democratic Majority for Israel and AIPAC, is anti-semitism of a very traditional kind.


	Leftists routinely pour money into local elections from outside the district. But when pump millions from the Bay Area or Park Slope into a primary race thousands of miles away, that's "grass roots energy", but when the accursed infidel Jews do it... well that's just evil.


	Having lost some primaries because of antisemitic candidates, lefties are doubling down on the antisemitism.

Whether it's Chris Rock and Will Smith, or Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, you don't actually have to pick a side in celebrity slapfights, literal or metaphorical.


	As a practical matter, these are battles between multi-million dollar leftist celebs who wouldn't reach out a hand if you were drowning. And as a moral matter of playing referee, we're talking here about emotionally unstable narcissists with substance abuse issues.


	Asking which of them is wrong is like trying to referee battles between Iran and ISIS.


	Everything they say about each other is probably true.&nbsp;It's possible for all of them to be wrong at the same time. And joining their teams is even sillier than cheering for woke NFL teams or China's NBA teams.


	Conservatives only look silly when they jump on celebrity bandwagon disputes because the one thing you can count on an emotionally unstable narcissist to do is make whatever cause you were championing seem silly.


	Take the conservatives who, for some incomprehensible reason, decided to champion Britney Spears. That, of course, ended in exactly the way that championing crazy people with lots of money who are dependent on public approval, but have no connection to reality, was ever going to end.


	Politics is downstream of culture, but this isn't our culture, it's "their culture". It's the culture imposed on us by the leftist entertainment industry. When we play that game, we always lose.

<blockquote>
	
		Biden made $5.8 million, more than half his total earnings from 2013 to 2018, from two deals with Chinese business interests.
</blockquote>


	There's little new in the details themselves, but they're a helpful reminder that the Biden crime family is in hock to the Peeps in a big way.

<blockquote>
	
		A review of the personal and corporate emails on Biden’s hard drive yield little information about any business he conducted on behalf of Hudson West III, and his autobiography doesn’t discuss his Chinese business dealings in any detail.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Which is itself revealing.


	What are you doing to get paid millions of dollars that you (or more likely your Chinese partners who have more self-control) aren't putting in writing?

<blockquote>
	
		In 2018, Chinese prosecutors accused Ye Jianming of “economic crimes,” including alleged fraud and bribery, and detained him for questioning. He hasn’t been seen in public since.

	
		A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington told NBC News, “We are not familiar with the case you mentioned, and I’m afraid we can’t offer information on this.”

	
		According to the Republican Senate report, Hudson West III, CEFC and another firm were involved in certain transactions that were&nbsp;“among those identified as potential efforts to layer funds.”

	
		The U.S. Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network describes the layering of funds as “separating the illegally obtained money from its criminal source by layering it through a series of financial transactions, which makes it difficult to trace the money back to its original source.”

	
		But the report doesn’t say whether or not Hunter Biden was personally involved in any transactions that were suggested to involve “layering.”

	
		Biden also appears to have done work for one of Ye’s business associates. Patrick Ho was convicted in U.S. federal court of bribing top officials in Chad and Uganda in pursuit of oil deals in those countries starting in September 2014. A jury found that Ho, while working for CEFC, bribed or attempted to bribe officials as much as $2 million. He was sentenced to three years in prison in March 2019 and then expelled from the U.S. at the end of his prison term.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	The underlying question is what was Hunter Biden and the larger clan doing to make all that money from these guys?


	It's implausible that Hunter Biden, an unstable crackhead with no self-control, was getting paid a fortune for any skill other than his political connections. If Joe Biden had been a retired Senate member, it's unlikely that Hunter would have gotten this kind of payday.


	There's no scenario in which this was anything except an attempt to use Joe Biden's crackhead son for his political connections. And those connections all go through Joe.

Hunter Biden Made Most of His Money From China

First the New York Times and the Washington Post, now NBC News.


	Before we dig into the details of the NBC News report, let me note that it is once again a mainstream media news report digging into a story that the media denied so vocally in 2020 that it was censored across social media platforms as disinformation.


	<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/analysis-hunter-bidens-hard-drive-shows-firm-took-11-million-2013-2018-rcna29462">Now suddenly</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		NBC News obtained&nbsp;a copy of Biden’s laptop hard drive&nbsp;from a representative of Rudy Giuliani and examined Biden’s business dealings from 2013 to 2018 based on the information available on the hard drive and the scope of the documents released by the Senate.
</blockquote>


	NBC News' experts all have unflattering things to say about Hunter Biden.

<blockquote>
	
		Frank Figliuzzi, the FBI’s former assistant director for counterintelligence, said there is a national security risk when foreign powers like China see an opportunity to get close to someone like Biden. “It’s all about access and influence, and if you can compromise someone with both access and influence, that’s even better,” said Figliuzzi, now an NBC News contributor. “Better still if that target has already compromised himself.”

	
		NBC&nbsp;News&nbsp;analyst Chuck Rosenberg, a former Justice Department official, said that Biden’s paying what he owes&nbsp;could&nbsp;even be seen as an admission of criminal violations. Not paying taxes for many years, rather than one or two, Rosenberg said, helps establish intent, which can otherwise be a struggle for prosecutors in white-collar cases.

	
		Paying the bill, Rosenberg said, might help Biden if he faced sentencing and “mitigate some of the damage, but it doesn’t undo the crime. That would be like returning money to a bank that you robbed. You still robbed the bank.”
</blockquote>


	It's almost as if Hunter Biden is a Republican.


	NBC News is the latest in a series of mainstream media outlets to run extensive pieces digging into the laptop materials. Why?&nbsp;


	In 2020, the Hunter Biden stuff was opposition research against a candidate the media opposes. Now, it's opposition research against a candidate some in the media would like to see step down after his first term.


	Joe Biden keeps talking about running again. It's no coincidence that the media got interested in Hunter Biden's laptop as part of an emerging consensus that Joe Biden shouldn't run again.


	As<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/04/democrat-plan-stop-joe-biden-daniel-greenfield/"> I wrote in</a>,&nbsp;The Democrat Plan to Stop Joe Biden, "Biden’s son is the leverage. During the election, Democrats and their media feverishly suppressed any coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop only to now revive the story. In recent weeks and months, the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Washington Post&nbsp;have legitimized the laptop."

<blockquote>
	
		"Democrats and the media are best served with Schrödinger's Hunter, not indicted or exculpated, but the subject of an ongoing investigation that can be used as leverage on his father, that holds out possible consequences for the son without severely damaging Joe’s election chances.&nbsp;

	
		They would like Joe Biden to say that he’ll be stepping down after one term and for the Hunter Biden investigation to go away with a slap on the wrist."&nbsp;

The difference between disinformation and information is often a matter of perspective.&nbsp;


	Disinformation is an Orwellian term which seeks to delegitimize opposing or different points of view by treating them as a "fundamental crisis of democracy". The Disinformation Governance Board, an illegitimate and disturbing institution, and even contemplating such a thing was an offense against the First Amendment.


	And, appropriately enough, what brought the Disinformation Governance Board down was exactly information of the sort that it would like to get rid of.


	Critics made Nina Jankowicz, her personality, her videos and her views, an issue. And they did so successfully enough that the board will get reset.


	It will, like every movie monster and slasher movie villain, be back. Anything else is unthinkable.


	Ever since Dems embraced the notion of a&nbsp;disinformation crisis after losing the 2016 presidential election, the concept has become crucial to their war on free speech and efforts to monopolize online narrative spaces.


	But&nbsp;&nbsp;Nina Jankowicz likely won't be a part of it.

	Like his real-life followers.&nbsp;


	But Twitter really is just a bunch of bots. Much like Amazon reviewers. The problem really took off when influencers came into being. A new wave of sophisticated campaigns were initially used to swell follower accounts in a crude way, but then became machines distributing messages and ideas on a massive scale.


	Much of this isn't even political.


	Whether you're selling one side or another of a war, or dishwasher detergent or a brand of cosmetics, you need followers to bolster your influence and spread your message.


	The bot armies routinely follow popular accounts and interact with them to create the illusion of legitimacy. The folks replying to everything with canned remarks or animated gifs may be real, but they may also be bots.


	That means most popular accounts have a high ratio of bot followers, it means that any popular trend with have bots attach to it, and it means that any company doing Twitter marketing is likely going to make us of bots to amplify its message.


	Basically, bots are to Twitter what spam is to email. It's an inescapable reality.&nbsp;

	Hill, the British NSC adviser on Russia, a leftist currently at Brookings, keeps trying to bash Trump and praise the Democrats, but this isn't having quite the intended effect. Hill tries to explain away the obvious problem of why Putin invaded Ukraine under Obama and Biden, but not Trump.&nbsp;


	Apparently, he didn't like having to explain things and did like easy surrenders and predictable weakness.

<blockquote>
	
		Russian President Vladimir Putin often became frustrated with President Donald Trump over his lack of knowledge on geopolitical issues, Fiona Hill said, adding that this played into Moscow's decision on the timing of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

	
		One of the reasons Putin invaded Ukraine with President Joe Biden in the White House was that he expected the US to "sue for peace" and thought it would be better to deal with Biden than trying to negotiate with someone like Trump, whom the Russian leader had "to explain everything to all the time,"

	
		"He thought that somebody like Biden — who's a transatlanticist, who knows all about NATO, who actually knows where Ukraine is, and actually knows something about the history, and is very steeped in international affairs — would be the right person to engage with," Hill said.

	
		"You could see that he got frustrated many times with President Trump because he had to keep explaining things, and Putin doesn't like to do that," Hill said, adding: "Even though he loves to be able to spin his own version of events, he wants to have predictability in the person that he's engaging with."
</blockquote>


	Again, not the compelling pro-Biden argument that Hill thought it would be.


	Seems like maybe we need someone in the White House whom Putin doesn't want to have to deal with rather than the predictable fellow who will surrender on cue.


	Mind you, this does inconveniently rub up against the whole, "Putin wants Trump in the White House" conspiracy theory that's been at the heart of every Dem attack from the Steele dossier to the Mueller investigation.

The pro-crime party <a href="https://pitchfork.com/news/new-york-state-senate-passes-bill-limiting-use-of-song-lyrics-in-court/">keeps on pro-criming</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		New York’s State Senate approved a bill Tuesday (May 17) that would limit prosecutors’ use of song lyrics and other forms of “creative expression” as evidence in criminal cases.&nbsp;Senate Bill S7527&nbsp;would not ban prosecutors from presenting lyrics or other material to a jury, but would require them to show that the work is “literal, rather than figurative or fictional.”

	
		The bill, which was sponsored by Senators Jamaal Bailey and Brad Hoylman, received&nbsp;public support&nbsp;from Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Killer Mike, Fat Joe, and Robin Thicke, among others. Before the bill can become a law, it must pass the New York State Assembly; a&nbsp;companion bill&nbsp;sponsored by Assembly member Catalina Cruz is pending before a committee and awaiting a vote.

	
		The bill, while in the works for months, comes as Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Gunna&nbsp;face RICO charges&nbsp;in Georgia in a case where their lyrics and music videos make up the bulk of the state’s evidence of criminal conspiracy. In the 2013 case&nbsp;Dawson v. Delaware, the Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to use protected speech as evidence, provided that speech is irrelevant to the case.

	
		The court&nbsp;declined&nbsp;to hear the case of Jamal Knox, a Pittsburgh rapper known as Mayhem Mal who was&nbsp;convicted&nbsp;on charges of terroristic threats and witness intimidation over lyrics in a 2012 song called “Fuck the Police.”&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	It is awkward when an entire genre based on violence whose members routinely engaged in violence toward each other and innocent people start pretending that they're engaging in fictional threats, not real ones.

<blockquote>
	
		The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has rejected a free speech claim by a rapper who threatened to kill two Pittsburgh police officers he identified by name in a video titled “F— the Police.”

	
		Using the name Mayhem Mal, Knox and another rapper threatened the officers who were scheduled to testify against them after arresting the pair on drug charges. The other rapper’s case was not before the court.

	
		One of the officers said the video was one of the reasons he left the force and relocated.

	
		Both officers are named, and Knox states in the song that the lyrics are for them. In one part of the rap song, Knox said, “I’ma jam this rusty knife all in his guts and chop his feet,” and, “Well your shift over at 3 and I’m gonna f— up where you sleep.” The song also suggests the rappers know the identity of a confidential informant and a have a plan to murder an informant with a Glock handgun.

	This is what New York Senate Dems seem to driven to protect.


	Would such a law, clearly preferencing criminals of a certain culture, survive a Supreme Court test?

<blockquote>
	
		If the court found First Amendment protection for the video, Saylor said, “we would in effect be interpreting the Constitution to provide blanket protection for threats, however severe, so long as they are expressed within that musical style.”
</blockquote>


	It's a good question.


	If a criminal writes a death threat in words cut out from a newspaper, isn't that also an art project?


	The New York Senate Dem "F___ the Police" bill, "Establishes an assumption of the inadmissibility of evidence of a defendant's creative or artistic expression against such defendant in a criminal proceeding; requires the proffering party to affirmatively prove that the evidence is admissible by clear and convincing evidence."


	How are prosecutors going to prove that a criminal's communications aren't part of a creative project in an era where anything, from mutilated horses to a golden toilet to Banksy and rap can be considered art?


	There's no metric for art, which means anything is art.


	Drug dealers can freely send text messages brokering drug deals as long as they do it in rap form.


	I'm sure that this won't make New York an even worse hellhole.

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio shouldn't have had a political career. Radicalism is not a problem in NYC, but even most radicals hate his guts. Bill de Blasio's combination of arrogance, incompetence, laziness and corruption contrived to make him widely hated across the spectrum.


	So of course he ran for president.


	After that fizzled, thought was given to running for governor and <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/17/bill-de-blasio-eyeing-run-at-newly-drawn-ny-seat-nadler-has-left-behind/">now the House</a>.

	De Blasio's own Twitter feed is a mishmash of attacks and virtue signaling at the state and the federal level, barking about state gun laws and federal social media regulation as if his own online persona can't figure out which office he wants to run for and is just keeping all of his possible options open.


	It seems as if it might be kinder to take him off the street and give him some kind of job where a complete incompetent would be allowed to mismanage billion-dollar budgets and just misplace $800 million.

This is why the counterculture lefties decided to <a href="https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/da-chesa-boudin-fentanyl-court-data-drug-dealing-immigration/">destroy the system from within</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		Despite a surging fentanyl crisis that&nbsp;killed nearly 500&nbsp;people last year in San Francisco, the office of District Attorney Chesa Boudin did not secure a single conviction for dealing the deadly opioid for cases filed during 2021, according to a review of court data.
</blockquote>


	No drug dealer is illegal apparently.

<blockquote>
	
		Another big factor is the DA’s attention to offenders’ immigration status, which by law they are required to consider. Prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys point out that drug dealing convictions are grounds for deportation, and a substantial number of drug dealers in the city are Honduran nationals who could face deadly consequences if deported. The accessory charge still gives them and their families a path toward eventual citizenship.

	So Americans have to die so that Honduran drug dealers can become citizens.

There have to be limits,” he said. “If you’re undocumented and selling fentanyl, guess what, you have to face the consequences. You have to do your time here in the States and you’re probably going to be deported.”&nbsp;

	Not on Chesa Boudin's watch. Or on any Soros DAs watch.

<blockquote>
	
		In one example of using the “accessory after the fact” conviction for fentanyl dealing, a defendant was arrested and charged five different times from July 2020 through December 2021 for dealing fentanyl, heroin, meth and crack cocaine. According to court documents, evidence included a backpack with cash and “numerous” colorful plastic baggies of drugs. All five cases were consolidated for a January 2022 sentencing where he received two “accessory after the fact” felonies and served several months in jail.

	
		Another example in San Francisco involved a man with four separate drug dealing arrests last year between June and December. He was charged with selling fentanyl, crack, more than an ounce of meth and over 14 grams of heroin. His ultimate conviction was for two misdemeanors for&nbsp; “accessory after the fact,” and his sentence was two days in county jail, which he had already served.

<blockquote>
	
		The House Pro-Choice Caucus has released a language guide with suggestions about what to say and not to say on the issue of abortion, including an admonition on the harmfulness of the word “choice.”

	
		In addition to “choice,” words deemed “harmful language” include “reduce abortion,” “safe, legal and rare,” “unwanted pregnancy,” “conscience clause/protections” and “back-alley abortions/coat hangers.”

	
		“Helpful language,” on the other hand, includes words like “decision,” “safe, legal and accessible,” “unexpected pregnancy,” “refusal of care/denial of care laws” and “criminalizing healthcare.”
</blockquote>


	This reeks of a focus group being convened on how to best market abortion to millennials.&nbsp;


	Why is the&nbsp;House Pro-Choice Caucus dumping "choice"?


	Choice, a key element in pro-abortion branding, is 'freedom' language. It's likely been concluded that freedom language is out of sync with an illiberal Left. And thus "choice" has been replaced with the illiberal "decision" which was probably determined to be far more empowering.


	The implication is that abortion is not a choice, that there aren't two sides or options, but an absolute decision. Abortion, the message goes, is not optional.


	But nothing under the Left is. Just ask China's One Child Policy.

<blockquote>
	
		On Monday, the Biden administration announced a series of measures they believe will “increase support for the Cuban people and safeguard our national security interests.”
</blockquote>


	Or just the opposite. This allows moving more money into Cuba. That bails out the Communist regime. Again.

<blockquote>
	
		Within minutes of the announcement, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, a democrat, criticized the Biden administration for the changes.

	
		“I am dismayed to learn the Biden administration will begin authorizing group travel to Cuba through visits akin to tourism. To be clear, those who still believe that increasing travel will breed democracy in Cuba are simply in a state of denial,” Menendez said.

	
		“For decades, the world has been traveling to Cuba and nothing has changed. For years, the United States foolishly eased travel restrictions arguing millions of American dollars would bring about freedom and nothing changed. And as I warned then, the regime ultimately laughed off any promises of loosening its iron grip on the Cuban people and we ended up helping fund the machinery behind their continued oppression,” he added.
</blockquote>


	There's nothing foolish about it.


	The Left doesn't want Cuba to become democratic. It just pretends to use this as a rationale to justify enabling the Communist dictatorship. And restoring tourism allows its lefty base to enjoy partaking of the fruits of socialism.

		"During Cuba’s historic anti-regime protests last year, President Biden said&nbsp;'[t]he United States stands with the brave Cubans who have taken to the streets to oppose 62 years of repression under a communist regime.' "Yet today, while hundreds of activists remain unlawfully imprisoned, the White House is resurrecting President Obama’s failed policy of unilateral concessions&nbsp;to the Castro/Díaz-Canel criminal dictatorship. Rather than supporting their pleas for freedom by expanding democracy programming, broadcasting, global diplomacy, and sanctions against their oppressors, the&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;White House is rewarding the Western Hemisphere’s longest-ruling communist dictatorship with high-level talks, easing sanctions, increased travel, and access to U.S. financial institutions. Appeasing Cuba’s murderous regime does not comply with the statutory requirements in U.S. law and undercuts America’s support for Cuba’s democratic opposition.

	
		"The Biden Administration’s repeated&nbsp;appeasement&nbsp;to&nbsp;the Cuban dictatorship is a betrayal of America’s commitment to human rights and freedom, and to the longsuffering Cuban people who are struggling for a genuine democratic transition."

If you thought bread prices were already high, they're about <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/16/us-europe-to-improve-food-chains-after-india-bans-wheat-exports.html">to go higher</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		The United States and the European Union are looking at how to improve food supply chains with export restrictions from India and other nations accentuating global problems, the EU’s trade chief told CNBC.

	
		G-7 foreign ministers warned over the weekend that the war in Ukraine is increasing the risk of a global hunger crisis. This is because Ukraine has been unable to export grains, fertilizers and vegetable oil, while the conflict is also destroying crop fields and preventing a normal planting season.

	
		This has increased the reliance on nations from other parts of the world for these products. But some of these countries, concerned about supplies for their own citizens, have imposed restrictions on exports. This is the case in India, for example, which announced Saturday a ban on wheat sales “to manage the overall food security of the country.”

	When people can't get bread, then the riots begin. The Arab Spring was fueled in no small part by wheat prices. Any regime that values its own stability is going to do its best to secure a supply of wheat and gasoline for its own domestic use. Think of it as hoarding on a global scale.&nbsp;


	Countries are cutting off food exports to protect their own political survival. All of this is doing interesting things to global markets and the consequences won't be pretty.

The Wheat Crisis is Getting Worse

In entirely coincidental news, the FDA has reached a deal to create a pathway to reopen the baby formula plant at the center of the formula crisis just as public outrage over the shortages went viral and entered mainstream public discourse.


	Coincidence? <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fda-abbott-agree-plan-resume-production-infant-formula/story?id=84756500">I'm sure</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		In a move to ease a nationwide shortage of infant formula, the Food and Drug Administration on Monday said it has agreed with Abbott Nutrition on a plan to reopen the company’s manufacturing plant in Sturgis, Michigan, after it was shut down following the discovery of a deadly bacteria inside.
</blockquote>


	How long would the bureaucrats have dragged this out if angry parents hadn't broken through? I don't know, but I strongly suspect there wouldn't be a deal right now.


	Now the backstory is that the shutdown was not unreasonable. Babies fell sick and Abbott was accused of mishandling safety at the plant. But the FDA was also accused of ignoring the obvious.


	Both Abbott and the FDA have been arguing about guilt.

<blockquote>
	
		Abbott maintains that there is still no conclusive evidence linking its formula to four infant illnesses, which included two deaths.

	
		"The infants consumed four different types of our formula made over the course of nearly a year and the illnesses took place over several months in three different states," Abbott tweeted last week. "The formula from this plant did not cause these infant illnesses."

	
		FDA officials on Monday, however, cautioned against any conclusions in the cases and said the investigation remains ongoing. They noted in particular that genetic sequencing of bacteria was only provided in two of the four cases and that more work needs to be done to rule out the causes.
</blockquote>


	And that's after months on the job.


	Abbott is likely more worried about getting sued and reputational damage that it's willing to take the lesser financial hit on the plant. The FDA cares even less. Finally outraged parents ended the game of chicken.

<blockquote>
	
		Officials cautioned it might still take weeks before many parents see more infant formula on shelves, either from the Sturgis facility or from foreign suppliers. But the two developments were hopeful signs the crisis would resolve.
</blockquote>


	It'll take quite a while for things to return to normal, whatever that may even be in this economy.

I'll quote the opening premise and spare you the rest of this because in the entire Politico interview, no one seems to understand what conservative comedy is or why <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/13/liberals-should-worry-conservative-comedy-00031907">leftist comedy is failing</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		For the past three years, Matt Sienkiewicz, an associate professor of communication and international studies at Boston College, and Nick Marx, an associate professor of film and media studies at Colorado State University, have immersed themselves in the world of conservative comedy. The findings of their inquiry, which they detail in their new book,&nbsp;That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them, might come as a surprise to devotees of the Daily Show: Conservative humorists aren’t merely catching up to their liberal counterparts in terms of reach and popularity. They’ve already caught them — and, in some cases, surpassed them, even as the liberal mainstream has continued to write conservative comedy off as a contradiction in terms.
</blockquote>


	Political comedy can be divided into establishment and anti-establishment.


	Stewart, Colbert and the rest of the gang who defined the entertainment news complex got their start during the Bush years pretending to be anti-establishment. And then they faded into boring hacks during the Obama years with a mission of being establishment comedians attacking opponents of the regime. After four years of excitement brought on by attacking Trump, the establishment is back to the usual lefty trick of trying to seem anti-establishment by wrapping itself in borrowed victimhood, abortion, BLM, illegal migrants, etc... so that they would seem like they were fighting the power rather than being the power.


	Butt his game is lame. Attacking Mitch McConnell with talking points from the DNC or ranting about the issue of the week when your guy is in power is lame.&nbsp;


	And establishment comedy is inherently lame.


	Conservative comedy became anti-establishment comedy. And while it still needs plenty of work, it gets its laughs from mocking the abuses of lefties.&nbsp;


	It's no coincidence that conservative comedy began rising even as lefty censoriousness took off. The two are closely interrelated. Most conservative comedy is only&nbsp; funny within the frame of the&nbsp;lefty speech wars.&nbsp;


	Or, simply, it's only funny to the extent that an anti-establishment is tilting at an establishment.&nbsp;


	Comedy can be innately funny regardless of politics. But political comedy does depend on a power differential. This is an area where lefty metrics of "punching up" and "punching&nbsp;down" do apply, not for ethical reasons, but because a combative&nbsp;underdog is inherently funny while combative establishment is oppressive, grotesque, and difficult to cheer for. That doesn't mean that a sizable contingent won't cheer anyway. Plenty of personality cults run that way. Clapter still fills the airwaves while lefty comedians insist that inflation is a conspiracy theory Republicans made up because they hate black people. But it doesn't win over anyone who isn't already on board.


	That's the difference between tribal signaling, which bad unfunny comedy relies on, "What's the deal with those people? Aren't they dumb?" and insurgent humor, which may not be well thought out, but succeeds by creating the comical spectacle&nbsp;of an inverted power differential.&nbsp;&nbsp;

		Days before Tuesday's Republican primary&nbsp;election&nbsp;in&nbsp;Pennsylvania, senatorial candidate Dr. Oz said during an interview Saturday that a comment made by one of his primary opponents, Kathy Barnette, should disqualify her from contention.&nbsp;

	
		The remark concerns a tweet from 2015 when Barnette said "pedophilia" was a fundamental tenet of the Islamic religion.

	
		Oz. is hoping to become the state’s first Muslim senator and said the comment should be "disqualifying" as it attacks those who observe the&nbsp;religion.

	
		"It’s reprehensible that she would tweet out something that is defamatory to an entire religion," Oz said in an interview with the Associated Press Saturday, just days before the Republican primary in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
</blockquote>


	Certainly in a Muslim country, she could be beheaded. Or, like another Christian woman in Nigeria, stoned and then burned to death.


	In Mehmet's Turkey, where he is a citizen and recently voted, blasphemy is a crime that can lead to prison time.


	But America isn't under Islamic Sharia rule. Yet.&nbsp;


	Still, let's address the question of whether pedophilia is as fundamental to Islam as it is to wokeness. Mohammed Oz fails to discuss it, simply fuming that it is "reprehensible" and "defamatory".&nbsp;


	Obviously, the best defense against such charges is truth.


	<img height="392" width="530" class="media-element file-default" data-delta="1" src="https://cms.frontpagemag.com/sites/default/files/uploads/2022/05/memri_child_marriage2.jpg" alt="" />


	Here's a<a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/islamic-law-girls-can-be-married-even-cradle-raymond-ibrahim/"> little contemporary background</a> on Islamic religious authorities from Raymond Ibrahim.

<blockquote>
	
		Back in 2011, for example, Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, issued a fatwa&nbsp;asserting&nbsp;that there is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.”

	
		The grand point of the Saudi fatwa, however, is not that girls as young as nine can be married, based on Muhammad’s example, but rather that there is no age limit whatsoever.&nbsp; The only question open to consideration is whether the girl is physically capable of handling her “husband.”&nbsp; Fawzan documented this point by quoting&nbsp;Ibn Battal’s authoritative exegesis of&nbsp;Sahih Bukhari:

	
		The ulema [Islam’s scholars and interpreters] have agreed that it is permissible for fathers to marry off their small daughters, even if they are in the cradle.&nbsp; But it is not permissible for their husbands to have sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and bearing the weight of the men.&nbsp; And their capability in this regard varies based on their nature and capacity.&nbsp; Aisha was six when she married the prophet, but he had sex with her when she was nine [that is, when she was deemed capable].
</blockquote>


	But just because Islam legalizes pedophilia, doesn't mean that it's a cornerstone or fundamental. Does it?


	Let's go back to Mohammed's original rape of Aisha.


	In,<a href="https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2010/12/islam-was-born-out-of-child-abuse-and.html"> "Islam Was Born Out of Child Abuse and Rape"</a>, I described that as the original sin that served as the power base for Islam.

<blockquote>
	
		Islam is the only major world religion where child marriage has the religious sanction of its prophet. Mohammed 'married' Aisha, his most notable wife,&nbsp;when she was six years old. The marriage was consummated when she was nine or ten at the latest. Like so many marriages, it was the product of an alliance between her father and Mohammed. Aisha's merchant father was Mohammed's first ally outside his family and went on to be Mohammed's successor. That alliance was sealed with the sexual abuse of his little girl. 
		 
		Such arrangements are still common in the Muslim world today, where little girls are treated as gifts to seal an alliance. 
		 
		Islam was born out of the brutal rape of a little girl. As the mother of the Sunni Caliphate, Aisha is not just an incidental figure. Her marriage to Mohammed lies at the heart of Islam. The alliance between her father and her abuser made Islam viable by giving its prophet his first real power base. After Mohammed's death, her father used that connection to the Chief Prophet of Islam, to gain the political upper hand over Mohammed's son-in-law in the civil war that arose afterward. And it was her father who oversaw the codification of the Koran in its written form. 
		 
		The spread of the Islamic faith and the codification of the Koran were made possible only through the rape of a little girl. And there is no way around that. This is why child abuse remains a permanent part of Islam. To disavow it, is to disavow Islam's Prophet and his successor, whom Sunni Islam associates with the codification of their religion's holiest book. Muslims cannot tolerate gently mocking cartoons of their prophet. They certainly are not about to put him aside so that no more 9-year-old girls get raped.
</blockquote>


	So yes, pedophilia is a cornerstone of Islam.&nbsp;

Here's an exciting conversation between Clinton apparatchik&nbsp;George Stephanopoulos and outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi which appears to be taking place in some alternate universe in which 9/11 never happened and we haven't been fighting a war against terrorism<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pelosi-calls-balance-free-speech-safety-buffalo-shooting/story?id=84718865"> for a generation</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		"Did you ever think you would be Speaker of the House, when our greatest national security threat, according to so many analysts, is domestic terror?" Stephanopoulos asked.
</blockquote>


	Even in an ADD political culture where no one remembers anything that happened last week, this is a bit much.


	Most Islamic terrorist attacks in the past decade have been classified as "domestic terror".


	Omar Mateen killed 49 people during the Pulse massacre. While he pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda and ISIS, the incident was classified as domestic terrorism.


	Mateen, like an entire generation of Islamic terrorists, was born in America to immigrant parents.

<blockquote>
	
		"There has to be vigilance," Pelosi, D-Calif., told ABC "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos. "People have to alert other authorities if they think that someone is on a path to domestic terrorism, to violence of any kind."
</blockquote>


	Exciting new idea. Except that CAIR and the Islamist allies of the Democrats spent a generation insisting just the opposite.


	Does Pelosi's proposal apply to all terrorists, or does it exempt terrorists from her political faction?

<blockquote>
	
		"Obviously you have to balance the free speech issues," Pelosi said. "Freedom is so important to us but that freedom also carries public safety with it and we have to balance that."
</blockquote>


	So is Pelosi going to move to shut down Islamist incitement to commit acts of terrorism and the entire political wing of the Jihad which is by now deeply embedded among the Dems and starting to once again get its hooks into the GOP?

<blockquote>
	
		The California Democrat said her party in Congress is "of course trying to do something about gun violence"&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Might want to tell Chicago gang bangers that.

<blockquote>
	
		The Biden administration, it appears, unless stopped immediately, is tee-ing up America to make it easy for the Chinese Communist Party to defeat it, and other nations, through biological warfare.

	
		The World Health Organization (WHO), the organization that has unhesitatingly been doing&nbsp;China's bidding&nbsp;during the COVID pandemic, is reportedly now planning to orchestrate a massive new power grab to internationally control the response to any future global pandemic. The plan is apparently to make the health of Americans dependent on the whims of China -- which is both actively seeking to&nbsp;displace the US&nbsp;as the world's leading superpower and has for years been working on new means of&nbsp;bio-warfare.
</blockquote>


	Of course this is part of the concerning regulatory response to the pandemic which already invested virtually unlimited powers into bureaucracies and which would leverage the international system to further disperse that same authority on a global level.


	It goes without saying that China would not be forced to do anything it does not want to, but the United States is another matter.


	The target date for<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/how-world-health-organization-might-face-future-pandemics-2022-02-24/"> new WHO treaties</a> is 2024.

<blockquote>
	
		&nbsp;Negotiations on new rules for dealing with pandemics will begin at the World Health Organization on Thursday, with a target date of May 2024 for a treaty to be adopted by the U.N. health agency's 194 member countries.
</blockquote>


	The target date means that Biden would be in power. You can bet that's not a coincidence. America is the nation likeliest to object and block any such agreement.

<blockquote>
	
		Member states have an August deadline to decide on an initial version of the pact, which is backed by WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. He is likely to be elected unopposed for a second term in May.
</blockquote>


	Despite his grotesque mishandling of the pandemic and kowtowing to China.

<blockquote>
	
		Because its legal nature remains to be defined, in WHO jargon the pact is an "instrument", of which there are three types -- recommendations, regulations and conventions. Of those, regulations are automatically legally binding for members unless they explicitly object.

	
		It is not yet clear how the 2005 regulations and the new pandemic treaty might fit together.

	
		One suggestion is that they should be complementary, so that existing rules apply to local outbreaks with the treaty response only kicking in if the WHO declares a pandemic -- something it does not currently have a mandate to do.
</blockquote>


	And that, as mentioned in the Gatestone article, is the key to the whole thing.

<blockquote>
	
		U.S. Border Patrol&nbsp;agents assigned to the Del Rio Sector arrested two convicted sex offenders shortly after they illegally entered the United States.

	
		On May 9, at 4:59 a.m., Carrizo Springs agents apprehended a group of nine subjects. They were transported to the Carrizo Springs Border Patrol Station for processing. During processing, record checks revealed that one subject, a Mexican national, Oscar Garcia-Solorzano, 28, was previously convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in Austin in 2016 and sentenced to two years confinement, He was subsequently deported in 2018.

	
		As a convicted felon with a prior removal, Garcia-Solorzano faces a charge of 8 USC § 1326 – Re-entry after Deportation, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
</blockquote>


	Which means that we're still stuck with him.

<blockquote>
	
		Also on May 9, at 11:25 a.m., Carrizo Springs agents apprehended a group of 11 subjects. They were transported to the Carrizo Springs Border Patrol Station for processing. Record checks revealed that a Mexican national, Alejo Manuel Hinojosa-Olguin, 32, was previously convicted of 4th degree felonious sexual assault of a child in Johnson County, Arkansas, in 2016 and sentenced to 60 months probation and deported.

	
		As a convicted felon with a prior removal, Hinojosa-Olguin faces a charge of 8 USC § 1326 – Re-entry after Deportation, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

How far will Biden and Democrats&nbsp;go in destroying education for children at the behest of teachers' unions?&nbsp;


	After years&nbsp;of keeping schools closed, the Biden administration is serving its donor base by going after charter schools. And some parents aren't <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/13/us/politics/charter-school-rules-biden.html">taking it anymore</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		On Wednesday, an estimated 1,000 parents and advocates from across the country rallied at the Education Department and the White House in opposition of the rules.

	
		Malachi Armstrong, the father of a kindergartner who attends a charter school in Philadelphia, was among the participants, who held signs, wore T-shirts with protest messages and repeated chants of “back off our schools.” Mr. Armstrong, who said his child attended a charter school in Philadelphia after his underfunded public

	
		school shut down, called the proposed rules “senseless.”

	
		“Charter schools aim to be different,” he said. “They know about the hardships — and I’m sure the Department of Education knows — and how bad public schools can be.”
</blockquote>


	Yes, and is perfectly happy with that as long the money keeps coming from the UFT.


	None of this is surprising. Biden did openly promise to do all of these things even while pretending to run as a moderate. And Republicans failed to run a convincing campaign warning independent voters namechecking many radical pledges like this.

<blockquote>
	
		As a candidate, Mr. Biden declared that he was not “a charter school&nbsp;fan,” which shocked many given that the schools had proliferated under the charter-friendly Obama administration. On the campaign trail, Mr. Biden vowed to cut off for-profit charters — less than 12 percent of the nation’s 7,700 charter schools — from federal funding.
</blockquote>


	Hey, he keeps his promises. Biden promised to give the radicals everything and Americans nothing. Those promises are being kept one by one.

<blockquote>
	
		Carol Corbett Burris, the executive director of the Network for Public Education and an ardent critic of charters, said the rules merely addressed the need for more accountability and transparency that should be required for any taxpayer-funded programs.
</blockquote>


	You'll never guess and the New York Times will never tell you <a href="https://www.publiccharters.org/latest-news/2019/12/11/network-public-education-releases-biased-publication-takes-reckless-swipes">who funds NPE</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		“NPE is a biased organization that is funded by the teachers’ unions, which are notoriously hostile to giving parents and students more choices in public education. In 2018, the American Federation of Teachers reported contributing $35,000 to the Network for Public Education Action. Between 2014 and 2016, the Chicago Teachers Union Foundation gave more than $300,000 to the Network for Public Education."
</blockquote>


	Imagine a world without a bunch of corrupt teachers' unions using a fortune in stolen taxpayer money to rig the system to destroy education and you can start to imagine an educational system that actually works.

<blockquote>
	
		In a&nbsp;Twitter post&nbsp;this week with the hashtag #CharterSchoolsFalling, Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, promoted a letter-writing campaign to Congress in support of the new regulations.
</blockquote>


	The teachers' unions would love to be able to shut down functioning schools so that they don't have to worry about anyone actually educating students.

A Taliban budget is almost as trustworthy as the mafia's books or Hollywood accounting.&nbsp;


	The Taliban's regime is a Potemkin village run for the benefit of foreign donors. It has little to no connection to reality. So the<a href="https://news.yahoo.com/talibans-first-annual-afghan-budget-133003494.html"> only thing this tells us</a> is that the Qatari's Potemkin regime in Kabul is really hoping for more international sympathy.

<blockquote>
	
		&nbsp;Afghanistan faces a budget deficit of 44 billion Afghanis ($501 million) this financial year, the country's Taliban authorities said on Saturday without clarifying how the gap between expected revenues and planned spending will be met.
</blockquote>


	Clearly, we taught them well.


	They may not have picked up democracy, but they certainly learned a lot from us about budgets. The trouble though is that you can do things like this when you have a world reserve currency and a ton of resources sitting around.&nbsp;


	It doesn't work as well when your reserve currency is opium and child sex slaves.

<blockquote>
	
		Announcing the first annual national budget since the Taliban took over the war-torn country in August last year, Deputy Prime Minister Abdul Salam Hanafi said the government foresaw spending of 231.4 billion Afghanis and domestic revenue of 186.7 billion.

	
		"The revenues are collections from departments related to customs, ministries and mines," spokesman for the Finance Ministry Ahmad Wali Haqmal said.
</blockquote>


	Customs means shakedowns of Pakistani truck drivers, ministries means shakedowns of opium growers, and mines means asking the Chinese for money.

<blockquote>
	
		Hanafi said the budget for the current financial year, that runs to next February, had been approved by the council of ministries and confirmed by the Taliban's supreme leader Haibatullah Akhunzada, and would use local funds only.

	
		Development works would take up 27.9 billion Afghanis, he said, but did not provide a breakdown of spending on areas such as defence.

	
		"We have paid attention to education, technical education, and higher education and our all focus is on how to pave the way education for everyone," Hanafi said.
</blockquote>


	Except you know, women. And anyone looking for a degree in something other than Beheading 101,&nbsp; Advanced Opium Sorting, Reselling Used Infidel Weapons Components, and&nbsp;Bacha&nbsp;Bazi Dance Theory.

The New York Times dug into the story of why a DeSantis appearance at an event taking place at the Jewish Museum in New York was canceled and <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/happened-conservative-jewish-group-invited-142532806.html">came up with... nothing</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		“Thanks for sharing this with me,” read an email to the fund from Trudy Chan, an official with the museum. Chan noted that providing security for the governor would not be a problem, but she added: “We would need to ascertain if there are any potential conflicts with your invited speakers. Please stand by.”

	
		The next day, Chan asked the fund to “pause” its $11,500 deposit and requested a conversation with its leaders, according to emails. In subsequent phone calls, Eric Cohen, the CEO of Tikvah, was informed that an event with DeSantis could not be held at the museum, which describes itself as “a living memorial to the Holocaust,” because the “Parental Rights” bill does not align with its values of inclusivity, Cohen told The New York Times.
</blockquote>


	One presumes that Trudy Chan, who formerly worked in a similar position at the Intrepid museum, where I also noted wokeness creeping in during a previous visit, is not Jewish.


	Who actually made that decision? Presumably, it was someone above Trudy Chan's level. But who knows.


	The Museum and its leaders have publicly stated that this was not a political decision and it had to do with security and logistics. Except the above contradicts all that.


	Someone is clearly lying here.


	Either the museum's leadership asserted that the event didn't align with its values or it did. That's the basic question here.


	Trudy Chan's email showed that the speakers themselves had to be cleared. On what grounds except for political ones?&nbsp;
