Former Vice President Walter Mondale, one of the architects of Minnesota's liberal tradition, has died, his family announced Monday. He was 93. Along with Hubert Humphrey in the 1960s, Mondale put Minnesota on the map as a reliably blue state. Mondale started his career in Washington in 1964, when he was appointed to the Senate to replace Humphrey, who had resigned to become vice president. Mondale was elected to a full six-year term with about 54% of the vote in 1966, although Democrats lost the governorship and suffered other election setbacks. In 1972, Mondale won another Senate term with nearly 57% of the vote.

Few moments in life are as profoundly lonely as the day after the funeral of a loved one.
And if the loss is of a lifelong companion – one's 'strength and stay', as the Queen so elegantly described her husband of 73 years, the Duke of Edinburgh – then it marks the point at which a life, irrevocably changed, must somehow carry on without them.
The important paperwork and admin that always accompanies a death is largely done. The well-wishers and consolers have paid their tributes and shared memories.
But when the door finally closes and Elizabeth is left alone without her Philip,
Too much freedom is a bad thing because it limits the ability of the state to coerce its subjects (“citizens” seems almost archaic as the Great Reset looms) into behavior they otherwise would resist. That’s the basic message explained to Chris Cuomo by a professor of public health policy that CNN favors with its airtime.
We lost an incredible amount of the freedom we formerly took for granted when Covid-19 leaked out of a lab in Wuhan, China, and was greeted by world leaders as a pandemic justifying the radical curtailment of liberty and enhancement of their own power.
In April 2019 then-Attorney General William Barr appointed John Durham as special counsel to investigate the origins of the Russia collusion hoax. Since then, we’ve heard nothing from Durham, moving Donald Trump to ask whether Durham even exists. In fact, there is a theory that Durham doesn’t exist. Instead, says the theory, he’s a made-up figure created solely to push a fake narrative about a non-existent investigation.
Wikipedia has John Durham’s bio. The short version is that he’s a Massachusetts native who graduated from law school in 1975, spent two years as a VISTA Volunteer on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana,
migrant surge and may soon visit the souther border, an adviser says
Jason Miller said President Biden's reversal of Trump era policies and comments inviting migrants to the United States had created a crisis. "This is an absolute disaster," he told Mike Berry's podcast on KTRH in Detroit.
Asked whether Trump might go to the southern border, Miller answered: "We discussed that recently. I could see him doing that soon. One of the things I think President Trump wanted President Biden to go and fail on his own" before he made a statement at the border.
Joe Biden’s multiple falls going up the ramp to Air Force One has been the big story of the day.
Fortunately, they are saying he’s alright, although typically they are refusing to answer real questions on the matter.
As my colleague Sister Toldjah reported earlier, the Biden team is now giving an “excuse,” claiming that Biden fell because of the “wind.” While there was a fair amount of wind as the video showed, if Biden is blown over by the wind, that could be a bigger problem than tripping on stairs.
The Centers for Disease Control guidelines on social distancing may be changing again after a new study shows six feet of distance to avoid the spread of Wuhan coronavirus may not be necessary.
During an interview with CNN over the weekend, Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged three feet of distance may be sufficient to reopen schools that remain closed.
"There's this new study from researchers in Massachusetts, just out this week, it found no significant difference of coronavirus spread in schools where there was six feet of distancing vs. three feet of distancing. But that six foot requirement, that's one of the main hurdles to reopening schools.
Comedian Bill Maher offered a blunt take on the U.S. vis-à-vis China, arguing America isn’t losing against its adversary, it’s already lost.
He began with a critique of the American people, whom he referred to as “silly,” and showed one of the now-banned Dr. Seuss books that had a caricature of a Chinese man. He said no one in China cares about it because “they are not a silly people.”
But Americans? “Half the country is having a woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato head has a dick."
Maher didn’t dismiss the communist regime’s human rights abuses and other authoritarian measures,

Fox News host Laura Ingraham laced President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci during her Friday opening monologue for their continued reliance on COVID-19 restrictions even though they have proven to be failures.
“Every day we wake up, and it seems like another constitutional right is under threat,” Ingraham began. “The First Amendment, the Second Amendment, even the Fourth Amendment.”
She went on to say that many Americans are self-censoring “because they’re afraid of the consequences” of speaking out and sharing their own opinions that may run counter to government narratives and cultural groupthink regarding the pandemic and other issues.
Joshua James was arrested this week and is being charged in connection to the violent events of January 6th in Washington D.C.
Joshua James is an Iraq War veteran. He was wounded in a bomb blast in Iraq. And Joshua is being held by the FBI without bail.
Joshua is the breadwinner in his family. He receives retirement pay from the military. He has three young children including a 3-year-old.
His wife is a commission-based part-time realtor. She tells us she brings in little income.
The FBI lured him out of his home in Alabama by pretending to be a customer needing a pressure washing.
Where Are All the Girls In Boys’ Sports?
14 replies
It’s probably a question I’m not allowed to ask, but I honestly don’t care. And the fact that it will upset a bunch of pearl-clutching leftists and gender fascists just makes me want to ask it more, and louder. But with all the talk from the left about transgender rights and how boys who believe they are girls should be allowed to compete in any sport they so choose, why aren’t there any stories of the opposite happening? Where are the girls in boys’ sports?
It’s pretty easy to find stories about boys competing in girls’ sports, particularly track and field events, largely because they tend to win…by a lot.
I told you so. It's become crystal clear I was right on the money. I've said for two years now on my national radio show that the best thing that could ever happen for the Mexican drug cartels would be a Democratic presidential victory.
Mexican drug kingpins have waited their entire lives for this fantasy. They must be singing, dancing and toasting champagne right now, because President Joe Biden is the greatest gift ever bestowed upon the Mexican cartels.
Experts estimated the money made on drug trafficking by the cartels at around $500 billion a year. That's half a trillion dollars a year -- "trillion" with a T.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday filed an appeal seeking to force doctors and hospitals to perform potentially harmful transgender-related procedures and surgeries even if they hold objections.As outlined by BECKET Law’s Luke Goodrich, a court in January struck down the administration’s move to punish doctors who don’t perform transgender-related procedures for supposed “sex discrimination.” Biden on Tuesday officially appealed the ruling.“The plaintiffs are religious doctors, hospitals, and clinics who joyfully serve ALL patients regardless of sex or gender identity. They routinely provide top-notch care to transgender patients for everything from cancer to the common cold,” Goodrich outlined Tuesday.
Today it was reported that the US Postal Inspection Service was spying on conservatives in America. We believe we discovered where they got their list of conservatives to spy on. Today we found out that the US Postal Service is spying on Americans who just happen to be conservative.(Snip) The spying program is known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, and involves goons trolling through social media sites to look for “inflammatory” posts – and then sharing the information with other government agencies.
More than two dozen angry protesters swarmed the Oklahoma House of Representatives chamber during a session on Wednesday to demonstrate against several bills that target demonstrators and trans girls. The House and Senate were forced to lock their chambers as the protesters entered the Capitol's House gallery on the fifth floor while lawmakers were in session. Video shows the group chanting 'no justice no peace' and 'Black Lives Matter'. But others heckled legislators, with one screaming 'you are a [expletive] disgrace to the whole country!' One of the bills the group showed up to demonstrate against was a Republican-backed anti-protest bill
The Post Office is spying on Americans

Yahoo News, which is a hard left partisan outfit, committed an act of journalism this week: It discovered that the United States Post Office has been running a “covert operations program” to monitor Americans’ social media posts for inflammatory information. That sounds like a bipartisan sin of officiousness that, despite the public nature of many posts, can leak into being a Fifth Amendment violation. However, when you dig more deeply into the article, you discover that the Post Office is concerned only with “right-wing” inflammatory information.
Chris Christie is seriously considering launching a 2024 bid to try his hand at winning the White House again, at least three sources familiar with his thinking told Axios.The former Republican New Jersey governor toasted to friends, according to the Wednesday report, that so far he would be the only Republican in the 2024 primary field with executive experience.Christie, 58, has also revealed to confidants that whether former President Donald Trump runs or not will not affect his own decision on the matter.If Trump doesn't run, the field would be wide open and likely muddied with another crowded primary contest.
Governor Ron DeSantis is on a collision course with Joe Biden and what is already the most radical administration in American history.The Florida Republican continues to elevate his national profile. His remarkable success in handling the COVID crisis by balancing the historic health disaster with protecting the economy & preserving civil liberties make him a rising star.With a possible 2024 White House bid in his future (if former President Donald J. Trump chooses not to run again) DeSantis has positioned himself to emerge as the nation’s top critic of Biden. The governor has already butted heads with Sleepy Joe when he recently sued the administration
Evidence of a "cold" American civil war has been playing out in the streets of America for the last year and the reality is it’s been percolating for decades. (snip) Such was the beginning of the journey that brings us to America circa 2021. Today you’re either on the side of angels or the side of Hitler. There’s no middle ground. George Washington was a slave-owning racist and nothing else matters. Michael Brown and George Floyd were innocent victims of racist cops. Period. All women should be believed… unless they accuse Democrats. There is an infinite number of genders. Clearly.
MINNEAPOLIS — The judge who oversaw Derek Chauvin’s trial in George Floyd ’s death said the jury would remain anonymous until he deemed it safe to release their names, in an effort to not just protect the 12 jurors from outside influence but also to preserve Chauvin’s right to a fair trial. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill hasn’t said how long their names might stay secret. He told potential jurors in the runup to the trial that their names would come out eventually, but assured them he would protect their privacy as long as he feels it’s necessary. How Long
Body camera footage from other officers released Wednesday in the fatal police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, a Black teenager who charged at two people with a knife, showed a chaotic scene that happened within minutes of the verdict in George Floyd’s killing and ignited outrage by many over the continued use of lethal force by police in Columbus and the U.S.(Snip)Bryant was 16 and in foster care with Franklin County Children’s Services at the time of her death. Her grandmother, Debra Wilcox, described her as a shy and quiet girl, who liked making hair and dance videos on TikTok.

CHICAGO, IL– Mayor Lori Lightfoot is considering a momentous change to a Chicago police procedure, stating she wants a revised policy in place before summer. [Tweet] According to reports, the change in policy will require an officer to get a supervisor’s permission before beginning a foot chase. The issue gained new urgency after an officer reportedly chased and fatally shot 13-year-old Adam Toledo. Lightfoot said:
“No one should die as a result of a foot chase.”
Since the fatal shooting, rewriting police policy on all foot chases has no become a hot topic
Black Lives Matter protesters were caught on camera harassing diners outside a family-owned Brooklyn taqueria—with dozens screaming at them to “stay the f–k outta New York.” “We don’t want you here,” screamed a ringleader standing on a table as he led an angry call-and-response chant from his comrades who framed the outdoor dining area of Maya Taqueria in Prospect Heights. “We don’t want your f—ing money! We don’t want your f—ing taqueria, owned by f—ing white men!” he screamed, with the mob repeating each line, as caught in video by The Post.
