BOB UNRUH — A new study suggests that those COVID masks, pushed on the American public by the likes of Biden medical adviser Anthony Fauci and multiple state and local officials, actually caused problems with high blood pressure. And they "reduced thinking ability." And "increased respiratory problems." And more.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — It didn't take long for ousted Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson to find a new home for his broadcasts, and that home is Twitter. Carlson made the announcement in a three-minute video on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. "Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy. That's why it was enshrined in the first of our Constitutional amendments," Carlson said. "Amazingly, as of tonight, there are not that many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now."... (more)

PJ MEDIA — Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Chair of the House Oversight Committee, is preparing to drop a major bombshell about Joe Biden. In fact, he’s so convinced that this evidence is consequential that he’s also spoken to the Department of Justice, advising them not to indict Hunter Biden until the Committee’s forthcoming announcement. According to Comer, committee members have been meticulously studying bank records and consulting with former associates and whistleblowers, and this bombshell evidence will be released on Wednesday....

NEW YORK POST — The White House press office barred The Post from attending President Biden’s only daytime public event Monday as federal prosecutors near a decision on criminally charging first son Hunter Biden for tax fraud and other crimes. The Post has closely covered the president’s ties to his relatives’ foreign dealings and first reported in October 2020 on files from Hunter’s abandoned laptop that link Joe Biden to ventures in China and Ukraine....

ROBERT SPENCER — As King Charles III was crowned in Westminister Abbey Saturday, viewers worldwide got a chill, or a chuckle, out of an unexpected sight. Right after the king’s guards processed into the abbey, a lone figure wearing a black hooded robe and holding a long stick that could have been a scythe walked by the abbey’s open door. Had the Grim Reaper made an appearance at Charles’ coronation? Was it an omen? A prankster? A warning? Part of the ceremony? An AI deepfake? No one knows for sure, and speculation was rife. Some even said it was the ghost of Charles’ celebrated late wife Diana. But whoever or whatever he was (and gosh, Grim, big apologies if I’m misgendering you), he was a welcome sight for reasons that have been insufficiently appreciated.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Democratic White House contender Robert Kennedy Jr. blames the CIA for the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy — proclaiming it “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Kennedy made the bombshell accusation about a murder that’s sparked many conspiracy theories during an interview Sunday with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “Cats Roundtable.” “There is overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder. I think it’s beyond a reasonable doubt at this point,” Kennedy said of JFK’s assassination in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Young men who are heavy weed smokers could have a higher risk for developing schizophrenia, according to a new study. The research, which was published on May 4 in the journal Psychological Medicine, found that a shocking 30% of schizophrenia cases among men aged 21 to 30 could have been thwarted if they had averted cannabis use disorder....

TOWNHALL — Former Democratic presidential candidate and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard went scorched earth on the transgender madness sweeping the nation during a Monday night Fox News appearance. Responding to recent polling on the issue cited by fill-in host Kayleigh McEnany that showed a majority of Americans both believe gender is determined at birth and do not believe transgender individuals born male should be allowed to participate in female sports, Gabbard expressed hope that "there is still some sense of common sense and sanity in our society."...

TOWNHALL — With another American presidential election around the corner, infinite grifters at The Lincoln Project are back at the trough. Founded by former Republican strategists, they achieved fame and fortune in the Trump era by viciously attacking him. Political organizations that are created to support or oppose a federal candidate are lawful. In our system, any group can form and support or oppose any candidate. There’s no problem with being explicitly negative. As someone who has worked on campaigns for 20 years, I know firsthand that negative ads can be the most effective. But the Lincoln Project’s shifting mission and purpose reveal the true goal of the organization: Elect more Democrats.... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley is demanding transparency from an agency with no interest in transparency. On Thursday, the Iowa lawmaker went to the Senate floor to demand FBI compliance with a congressional subpoena compelling documents related to a criminal scheme involving the president and a “foreign national.” Grassley joined House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in issuing the subpoena Wednesday....

WORLD NET DAILY — Fox News executives may want to avert their eyes and avoid this viral clip of now-former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Because if it's any indication about how the rest of America feels about Carlson, it's clear that Fox News has made a massive, bungling mistake. The clip in question was shared by young conservative influencer Brilyn Hollyhand, and it showcased Carlson's first appearance since his unceremonious split from the suddenly-struggling news network....

NEWSMAX — Tucker Carlson is reportedly in talks with former President Donald Trump to host a GOP forum featuring Republican presidential contenders, a move that could mean millions of dollars forfeited for the former Fox News host as he is still legally obligated to the network until the end of 2024, reports The Washington Post....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — May 2023 marks an important historical milestone. 75 years ago, on May 14, 1948, the modern nation of Israel was born. After having been scattered virtually around the world, Jews from across the earth were able to return to their homeland and create the modern state of Israel. Much of the land they came to was a wasteland, but through God’s help, and irrigation and advanced technology, they have been able to see “streams in the deserts.”... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — The old cultural imperialism was supposedly greedy corporatism like Disneyland, McDonald’s, and Starbucks sprouting up worldwide to supplant local competitors. But these businesses spread because they appealed to free-will consumer demand abroad. They were not imposed top down. The U.S. presence in Afghanistan collapsed in August 2021 amid the greatest American military humiliation in modern history. A billion-dollar new embassy was abandoned. Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of new infrastructure at the huge Bagram Airbase was dumped.... (more)

ROBERT SPENCER — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and his henchman, FBI top dog Christopher Wray, on Wednesday with some allegations that were positively explosive. Grassley and Comer say that they’ve “received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures” regarding a “criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” Would anyone really be surprised if it were positively determined that Old Joe Biden was paid off by foreigners to set policy in a way they dictated?...

THE GATEWAY PUNDIT — CNN announced on Monday they will hold a town hall next week with President Trump in New Hampshire. CNN is famous for planting questions in the crowd during their town halls. So this ought to be interesting. The AP reported: CNN said Monday that former President Donald Trump will participate in a town hall forum next week in New Hampshire.

PJ MEDIA — On Tuesday, Valuetainment Television made a public $100 million, five-year contract offer to Tucker Carlson, plus ownership shares in the company. Carlson is still under contract to News Corp., however, and his Tucker Carlson Today shows are still in the archive lineup. But his sidelining has created a media feeding frenzy. Newsmax also seems to be in the hunt. Backchannels — and in the case of Valuetainment, a publicity-grabbing front channel — have opened up as media companies hope to steal market share on the Right from the Fox News Channel.... (more)

AMERICAN GREATNESS — There’s no way to sugarcoat it. The Republican Party has performed abysmally with young voters in recent elections. This cannot continue to be swept under the rug for much longer if the Stupid Party wants to avoid extinction. Some figures should terrify everyone who doesn’t support a full-blown Marxist takeover of our failing country. In the 2022 Midterms, a whopping 77 percent of Generation Z (those born between 1997-2012) voted for Democrats, while 56 percent of Millennials (those born between 1981-1996) voted for the party of Joe Biden, John Fetterman, and the squad....

WORLDNETDAILY — ABC News refused to air a portion of its interview with Robert Kennedy, Jr., the recently announced Democrat primary challenger to Joe Biden, because it disagreed with his criticism of COVID vaccines. Rather than play the full interview so that viewers could evaluate Kennedy's own words, ABC chose to censor them, with reporter Linsey Davis giving what Kennedy said was a "defamatory disclaimer" on air: “[W]e should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines. We’ve used our editorial judgment in not including extended portions of that exchange in our interview,” she said in the interview published April 27.... (more)

RED STATE — Hunter Biden appeared in an Arkansas court Monday in his bid to get his child support payments lowered, and it didn’t go well for him. The judge lambasted the president’s son and his legal team for being slippery in providing his financial information and income. Biden was ordered by the judge last week to appear in person for today’s hearing and all future ones after she had accused him of delaying the litigation.... (more)
