ELECTION DENIAL: The White House is beginning to float trial balloons that the 2024 will be influenced by China setting up the prospect of calling Trump's victory in November illegitimate.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US has seen evidence of Chinese attempts to “influence and arguably interfere” with the upcoming US elections, despite an earlier commitment from leader Xi Jinping not to do so.

Blinken made the comments to CNN’s Kylie Atwood in an interview Friday at the close of a three-day to trip to China, where the top American diplomat spent hours meeting with top Chinese officials including Xi, as the two countries navigated a raft of contentious issues from US tech controls to Beijing’s support for Moscow.  ...

Jilted Chris Christie fantasizes before an audience about a ‘death match’ in which Trump died, accuses Trump of looking ‘terrible’
By Olivia Murray

“If you look at Trump physically right now, he looks terrible,” said the wildebeest of New Jersey who left the all-you-can-eat buffet line (with FUPA in tow) long enough to plop himself in an oversized chair on a stage before a progressive audience at the University of Chicago, where he spent the better part of his allotted time fixated on the former president. (FUPA refers to the Front Upper Pubic Area, or that fanny pack of blubber nestled on Chris Christie’s lap.)

Here’s a video clip of that moment, because the irony is just unreal:

Too many DEI checked boxes for Karie.  SHe ain't going anywhere.

Mike Rowe posted on Facebook today about his visit to Oklahoma:

... I got a tour of Central Tech, and learned that it is in fact, one of the best trade schools in the country, if not the best. Students come here from seventeen different public schools to get a hands-on experience in dozens of trade jobs. Students who are determined to enhance their high-school education with a skill that will make them instantly employable. Students like Jamison, a gifted welder who will give Rosie the Riveter a run for her money.

Central Tech exists because the industries in Oklahoma that rely on a skilled workforce – oil and gas in particular - didn’t wait for the government to put shop class back in high schools. They simply built a world class destination where the trades are amplified and staffed it with a wide variety of accomplished instructors.

Instructors like Phil, who worked on pipelines for years and decided to help train the next generation in a real-world classroom, for a long list of jobs that can pay upwards of $50 an hour. His students are awesome, eager, and very enthusiastic. They can’t wait to roll their sleeves up and get to work.

And John, who in spite of his salmon sweater, is a bad-ass truck driver with decades of experience on America’s highways. Today, he teaches kids how to drive a big-rig in less than six weeks. Kids who quickly go on to make $70,000 a year, thanks to a national shortage of roughly 50,000 truck drivers.

The success stories at Central Tech are too numerous to mention in a Facebook post, but look for a new television campaign this summer, made possible by OERB, that elevates the skilled trades, and helps me prove once again that opportunity in this country is alive and well - especially in the energy industry, where a long list of critical jobs are waiting to be filled. ...

I'm kind of sorry I don't have any young people under my wing at present to try to guide toward practical, rewarding careers - and I'm really sorry our niece went to law school!

Jews, patriots, and the ignorant among us
By Jeremy B. Kay

The explosion of demonstrations at college campuses has made me fearful for my fellow Jews, but as an American, it has made me red-hot angry.

I’ve been trying to make the distinction between the clearly foreign-born and the growing young followers of this unmistakably organized movement.  Each group carries its own special ignorance, both preferring rhythmic slogans to any facts at all.

The young “skulls full of mush,” as Rush Limbaugh used to call them, seem to now have their brains completely liquefying.  They can’t tell you where “the river” is or “the sea,” nor even where Israel is located.  But they’re sure, with Marxist certainty, that there is a genocide against the Palestinians going on.

Their elders in this entire undertaking supply the intellectual heft, but it is so inaccurate as to be complete nonsense.

This was obvious this week, when we heard the slogan shouted from at least one school, with a sign: “Jews go back to Poland.”
