If You Thought Epstein’s Death Was Weird, Wait Until You Hear This Update…

During his Fox News program Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson left viewers stunned after revealing that authorities said there were no recordings of the calls made by Jeffery Epstein, a former inmate incarcerated in the city, where he was later found dead in his jail cell. At the time, authorities claimed Epstein committed suicide.

“So it looks like the NYPD deleted the recordings of 911 calls from the jail. So we thought, well, how about the FBI? We called over to the FBI to say do you have any 911 recordings from the jail, from the federal lockup, and we got no response,” Carlson claimed on his primetime show. . .

Epstein had a long history of funding the Democratic causes, especially those of former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State. Epstein’s contributions to both the Clinton Foundation and Bill Gates’ foundation, put him in touch with some of the most wealthy people in the world, who he also reportedly hosted on his private island.

Alyssa Milano Has Funniest Meltdown After Removal of Her ‘Legacy Check,’ Elon Has Perfect Response

. . .Twitter head Elon Musk had announced that the “legacy blue checks” would go away by 4/20 if people didn’t pay for a Twitter Blue subscription. He went through with it, and as I noted, the liberal fits were something to behold. . .

Milano has had some epic tantrums at Twitter and Musk in the past. Whatever the current liberal “thing” is, Milano will eagerly jump aboard it. So when the left went into their “hate on Elon Musk” mode, she was right there, even though she had praised him in the past. Once he was put on the “hate list,” she said she had “given back” her Tesla because Musk “now wants to ENABLE Nazism.” What did she claim to have replaced her Tesla with? A Volkswagen electric vehicle. She then had to be told about the history of Volkswagen and the connection to the actual Nazis (not the “everyone is a Nazi if I don’t like them” Nazis).

But on Thursday, she proved once again that the only thing she has a grasp on is the latest liberal narrative. . .

How typically liberal that she thinks that she should get something for nothing because she’s special and she shouldn’t have to pay. . .

But Elon Musk, with his typical humor, had an answer for Milano’s trauma. He responded to Ed Krassenstein who was defending Milano.

The State’s Senate Just Approved a Firearm Training Fund for Teachers

Indiana lawmakers advanced a bill this week that would make state funding available for teachers who want to be trained on how to use a firearm.

The legislation, H.B. 1177, which passed 42-8 in the state Senate, was first advanced in the state House in February, according to the Associated Press. On Tuesday, two Democrats joined all Republicans in supporting the bill.

Proponents of the bill said that 40 hours of voluntary firearm training would prepare educators to defend themselves and their students in the event of an active shooter situation. The training would be covered by the state, and schools could apply for this funding in the event of a school shooting “to cover the costs of counseling” for students and staffers.

State Sen. Travis Holdman, the bill’s sponsor, reportedly said that he wished this kind of training was mandatory. Previous efforts to offer this kind of training have failed. H.B. 1177 bill passed the House earlier this year in a 71-24 vote. (Read more from “The State’s Senate Just Approved a Firearm Training Fund for Teachers” HERE)

White House Claims GOP Debt Plan Will Give Kids Asthma and ‘Literally Melt Bones’ (VIDEO)

As President Biden refuses to negotiate with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to raise the debt ceiling, the White House seems to have decided to relegate Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to bargaining duty, and she did not ease off the hyperbole (read: false claims) she’s known for.

According to Jean-Pierre in Friday’s White House press briefing, Biden’s new executive order to make “climate justice” — another meaningless buzzword that attempts to put a shiny green veneer on Marxist policies — the “DNA” of his administration and a priority for every agency is a stark contrast with the GOP debt ceiling plan that includes a repeal of Democrats’ falsely named “Inflation Reduction Act.”

With a White House slide behind her to show just how very, very real her “facts” are, Jean-Pierre claimed that, “while President Biden is fighting to clean up toxic pollution and lower costs through [the] Clean Energy Tax Credit, Speaker McCarthy unveiled a ransom notes holding our economy hostage.”

She continued by slamming the GOP plan to raise the debt ceiling and avoid default while rolling spending back to 2022 levels as “a 320-page plan to kill jobs, fill our cities with smog, and give asthma to our children.” She must have forgotten to mention that it’s also 320 pages more than Biden’s non-existent counter offer.

Jean-Pierre continued, saying “the proposal would repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s Green Energy Tax Credit, sending thousands of jobs back to China [and] it would make it easier for oil companies to use toxic chemicals that cause severe burns, damage people’s eyes, and quite literally melt bones.” How measured.

Donald Trump Is Crushing Ron DeSantis in the Polls

Former President Donald Trump appears to be crushing his potential Republican rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, in a number of recent polls before DeSantis has even entered the presidential race.

A new Harris/Harvard poll conducted from April 18 to 19 showed Trump leading the Florida governor by 35 points among Republican voters in a hypothetical GOP presidential primary.

Trump announced his re-election bid shortly after the 2022 midterm elections but DeSantis has not yet formally launched a presidential campaign despite speculation that he will jump into the race.

The Harris/Harvard poll found Trump with 55 percent support among GOP voters—far ahead of DeSantis on 20 percent and former Vice President Mike Pence on just 7 percent and other potential candidates recording less than 5 percent each.

Former GOP Rep Trashes Ron DeSantis for Supposedly Not Being Friendly While in Congress

A former Republican congressman from Michigan trashed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for not being friendly and personable during their time serving on the same committee in Congress.

David Trott, the former Michigan representative, “sat right next to” the Florida governor on the House Foreign Affairs Committee for two years and never heard a “single word” out of DeSantis, he told Politico. Trott slammed the governor for being “arrogant” and an “a**hole,” and wasn’t shocked that so many Florida representatives are backing former President Donald Trump in 2024 instead of DeSantis.

“I go to my first [House Foreign Affairs Committee] hearing early, and DeSantis showed up right at the gavel time and didn’t say hello or introduce himself,” Trott said. “And then the next hearing, the same thing happened. I think the third time it happened, I thought, ‘Oh, this guy’s not ever going to say hello to me.’”

Trott, who was a freshman member at the time, expected DeSantis to introduce himself, and when he didn’t, Trott took the initiative, he told Politico. While Trott said he realized that the governor has “talent” and is able to bolster voters by advancing “hot button issues,” he said DeSantis lacked a friendly personality.
“If you’re going to go into politics, kind of a fundamental skill that you should have is likability. I don’t think [he] has that,” Trott said. “He never developed any relationships with other members that I know of. You’d never see him talking on the floor with other people or palling around. He’s just a very arrogant guy, very focused on Ron DeSantis.”

Trott said the governor’s “awkward” interactions are playing out in his “pre-presidential campaign” among the Florida congressmembers, as many have thrown their support behind Trump, he told Politico. The former president has the backing of Reps. John Rutherford, Brian Mast, Matt Gaetz, Anna Paulina Luna, Greg Steube, Cory Mills and Byron Daniels, while DeSantis only has the endorsement of Rep. Laurel Lee. (Read more from “Former GOP Rep Trashes Ron DeSantis for Supposedly Not Being Friendly While in Congress” HERE)

4 Out of 5 Americans Say We’re in a Recession or Will Be Within a Year

The U.S. economy gets poor marks from most Americans, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released Friday.

Forty-nine percent of Americans expect the economy will be in a recession in the next year, the poll showed. Another 39 percent say the economy is already in a recession.

Just twenty percent say the economy will avoid a recession.

The numbers are striking because by many measures the economy remains resilient. The unemployment rate is just 3.5 percent and although layoffs have picked up recently, they remain low by historical measures. The economy grew at a 2.6 percent seasonally adjusted annualized rate in the last three months of 2023. Next Thursday, the government will release its estimate for first quarter growth, which many economists expect to come in around two percent. . .

Likely as a result of inflation, a majority of Americans say their financial situation is worsening. The Harvard CAPS-Harris survey showed 52 percent said their personal financial situation is getting worse, up from 48 percent a month ago. Just 25 percent say their financial situation is improving. Sixty-two percent describe the U.S. economy as weak and 63 percent say the economy is on the “wrong track.” (Read more from “4 Out of 5 Americans Say We’re in a Recession or Will Be Within a Year” HERE)

Report: Federal Prosecutors Weighing Four Charges Against Hunter Biden

Federal prosecutors are weighing three tax charges and one gun charge against Hunter Biden, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Biden could be charged with two misdemeanor counts for failing to file taxes, a felony count of tax evasion related to business expense and a felony gun charge, NBC reported Thursday. The Washington Post previously reported investigators were closing in on tax and gun charges for Biden, citing sources familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity.

U.S. Attorney in Delaware David Weiss, a Trump administration holdover, would be tasked with filing charges against Biden. A former close associate to Weiss described him to CBS News as “a straight shooter” with no allegiances to Trump or Biden.

18-Year-Old Male Identifying as Female Enters High School Girls’ Locker, Showers Naked Next to 14-Year-Old Students, Conservative Org Alleges

An 18-year-old male student at a Wisconsin high school who identifies as female entered the girls’ locker room and began showering naked with four 14-year-old girls, a conservative legal organization said Wednesday.

In a letter sent Wednesday to the school district, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, Inc. (WILL) said that on March 3 four freshman girls at Sun Prairie East High School (EHS) were showering and changing after a physical education class. When they entered the lockers, they found a senior male student, believed to be 18 years old at the time, in the room that contained the lockers and benches. The girls said the student wasn’t in the class with them, but proceeded to the shower area even though they were uncomfortable. They were aware that the student identified as transgender and had used girls’ bathrooms previously, according to the letter.

The girls showered with their bathing suits on, which was common practice. Just when they started to shower, WILL said, the transgender student fully undressed and entered the shower next to one of the girls. The student was initially facing the wall but then turned toward the four girls, exposing his male genitalia to all four freshmen.

“Understandably, the girls were caught off guard and shocked, closed their eyes, and tried to hurry up and leave the showers as quickly as possible,” WILL’s letter stated.

The girls didn’t know what to do and didn’t immediately report the incident, but after one girl told another student what happened, that student said they should report it, according to the letter. Three days after the incident in the shower, the uninvolved student reported it to student services. The incident should have been reported under Title IX, an anti-sex discrimination law that protects students against sexual harassment and assault. But Associate Principal Heidi Walter didn’t report the incident to the Title IX coordinator, and instead asked for the names of the students involved, according to the letter.

TikTok CEO Reveals the Details of Platform’s Massive Censorship Operation

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew revealed on Thursday that the social media platform has “tens of thousands” of employees dedicated to content moderation.

American lawmakers have raised concerns over allegations that information on TikTok, which is controlled by Chinese technology company ByteDance, can be manipulated by associates of the Chinese Communist Party. Some have also noted that TikTok is one of several large social media sites which tend to censor conservative viewpoints. Chew affirmed in an interview at a TED conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, that his company has a massive content moderation operation based in Ireland which uses artificial intelligence systems to censor posts.

“There are some bad actors who come on the internet, they post bad content. Our approach is that we have very clear community guidelines. We’re very transparent about what is allowed and what is not allowed on our platform. No executives make any ad hoc decisions,” Chew said. “Based on that, we have built a team that is tens of thousands of people plus machines in order to identify content that is bad, and actively, proactively remove it from the platform.”

Chew added that the content moderation staffers constitute “one of the most important cost items” at his firm but are “completely worth” the expense. He admitted that human personnel are necessary since the AI systems used by his company are “not perfect.”

“You have to complement them with a lot of human beings,” he continued. “A lot of the progress in AI in general is making that kind of content moderation capabilities a lot better. We’re going to get more precise, we’re going to get more specific.” (Read more from “TikTok CEO Reveals the Details of Platform’s Massive Censorship Operation” HERE)
