AND FROM WHAT I HEARD NEVER HAS: Cackling Kamala: Her Staff Doesn’t Like Her Either.
Let’s face it, the last person who liked her was Willy Brown, and only because she couldn’t talk.
SOUNDS LIKE MOM NEEDS THORAZINE: Mom Wants Kids To See Kink At Pride Parade.

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Our bossy society is completely losing sight of the value of risky behavior.
NONSENSE, JOE BIDEN SAYS THE CHINESE ARE OUR FRIENDS:
WEIRDLY PREDICTABLE:
Related: “Indian Point Energy Center (I.P.E.C.) was a three-unit nuclear power plant station located in Buchanan, New York, just south of Peekskill. It sits on the east bank of the Hudson River, about 36 miles (58 km) north of Midtown Manhattan. The facility has permanently ceased power operations as of April 30, 2021.”
Flashback — April 28, 2021: Get ready for blackouts after Cuomo foolishly killed the Indian Point plant.
OPEN THREAD: This is one of those joints that never close.
IT WASN’T ME, THE COUCH JUST MAKES THAT NOISE WHEN YOU SIT DOWN: Mars methane mystery may be starting to clear up.
MARK JUDGE: What ‘The Nation’ Got Right (and Wrong) about Me, Brett Kavanaugh, and God. “The American Stasi wanted me, someone whose high school drinking had progressed into alcoholism before I cleaned up in 1990, to give them something on Brett. Anything, really. They were giving me an entire ten year span to do it. Surely the glamorous and hard-partying Reagan era could provide something, somewhere, somehow to bring Brett down. All I had to do was point and shoot. The media would even help me ‘be a hero.'”
PROBABLY ALL THE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKING FOR COVID: China reported free of malaria for the first time since 1940s.
But hey, congrats to Xi for getting China’s public health status back to where it was before the communists took over.
CHANGE: Supreme Court Foils Democrats’ Attack on Conservative Nonprofits. “It was generally assumed that Harris wanted to know the identities of donors to conservative organizations so that they could be harassed by various California agencies, or so that their identities could be leaked in order for them to be ‘canceled’ by left-wing activists.”
I DOUBT MELANIA IS LOSING SLEEP OVER THIS, BUT …: Why Did Vogue Call Jill Biden a “Goddess in Stilettos”? Even the Jerusalem Post feels obliged to ask that question.
HISTORY: The Flight of The Last B-36 Peacemaker. “No B-36 ever dropped a single bomb on an enemy target.” Well, as the Strategic Air Command says, “peace is our profession.” They called it Peacemaker. I always knew why.
DAVID LAT: All About Amy (Chua), The Law Professor We Can’t Stop Talking About. If all the other facts were the same, but she were a lefty married to a woman, Yale would have acted totally differently.
KURT SCHLICHTER: Every New Republican Is the Most Evil* Republican Ever.
When you have to try to intimidate and gag your opponents, you aren’t winning. You are losing. And it might work for a while, but in the long-term you are only putting off your inevitable ejection from power. And ticking off their enemy – us – in the process.
Oh, we’ll have our vengeance.
The next victorious Republican – one will come even if we detour back to another squish for a cycle or so – will be ruthless. He will understand that the enemy is serious about holding on to power and that means holding us by our throats. He will understand that to win means to take the fight to them, to ignore the whining and howling and to impose fair election laws, free us to carry weapons, ban the cancer that is CRT, and do all the other things Democrats fear. And he will do it without the baggage and the mean tweets that let the left shift the argument from “Conservative Policy Good” to “Orange Man Bad.”
He will not care about earning their favor. He will care about payback. He will be woke, conservative woke, and for the first time in a long time, Democrats will be right about something, for they shall fear him.
On the plus side though, the DNC-MSM’s rehabilitation of Trump in order to bash the next GOP presidential candidate will be hilarious to watch.
* Every Republican president or presidential candidate is the next Hitler — even Calvin Coolidge, who served before the Nazis came to power.
CHECKBOOK JOURNALISM: Why Are Michael Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun ‘Journalists’ Writing for USA TODAY?
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Former Justice Department Lawyer Testifies to Voting Section’s History of Abusing Its Authority. “At a hearing Tuesday intended to build support for HR 4, Maureen Riordan did the exact opposite. A career attorney who served in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department for more than two decades, she testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the long history of abuses she witnessed while working at the department.”
