Happy May Day, comrades! The revolution progresses forward, with a new Ministry of Truth to punish, er, correct opposing views, and the economy is now contracting, just as it does in all socialist systems during economic "recovery."
Meanwhile, the privileged elite -- those who can party in a crowded hall without masks, even as they mask-shame the rest of us and demand harsh new rules -- are still digesting last night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
Wasn't it fun to see Uncle Joe there? Ah, yes, a return to normal -- when the press corps actually accepted the results of democratic elections, and rubbed shoulders with the very people they are supposed to be holding accountable.
Luckily, there is room for hope, now that Twitter is in the hands of a different oligarch. Biden is still doing more to defend Ukraine's border than our own, but his administration is basically done, and awaits harsh judgment in November.
Today's special guests:
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) - to discuss the border, DHS, and Twitter
James Carafano - Heritage Foundation expert on what's next in Ukraine
Pastor Marc Little - on the football prayer case at the Supreme Court
Tune in: SiriusXM Patriot 125, 7-10 p.m. ET, 4-7 p.m. PT

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
