Swanky Soirée Turns Swamp Superspreader. “At least three cabinet secretaries, several members of Congress, multiple White House officials and a large number of journalists are among the dozens to test positive.”

MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE: Conservative college offers ‘classical’ charters. “Classical education guides us into freedom by making us self-reliant and responsible, capable of governing ourselves and taking part in the self-government of our communities.”

JOE BIDEN DID THAT: Inside wartime Russia, Putin isn’t losing. “Russian shoppers can no longer buy many Western products or use certain payment methods, and many goods they can buy are now more expensive thanks to the sanctions. But they don’t blame Putin, says Yana, a journalist in Moscow who asked that we not use her last name.”

I’ve argued from the beginning that sanctioning Russia’s civilian economy was a mistake.

Russians have a long history of enduring any hardships brought on by the enemy.

Instead of waging economic war on Vladimir Putin and his cronies, we’re waging it against the Russian people — so they’re treating us as the bad guy instead of Putin.

PJ MEDIA VIP ROUNDUP: Don’t forget that VODKAPUNDIT promo code if you’ve been thinking of joining us.

Athena Thorne: How to Save America From Our Illegal Immigrant Occupation. “Americans — the ultimate targets of the Globalist oligarchy — are simply too humane to do anything but help such acutely vulnerable people. Globalists know this and use it against us.”

Matt Margolis: Can the GOP Push Biden to the Center Next Year? “In theory, this makes sense. But I think they’re being very optimistic in their presumption that Biden cares what party controls Congress when it comes to enacting his agenda. Barack Obama certainly didn’t, and Biden has modeled his presidency after his former boss’s.”

Yours Truly: Shanghai Despair: Starving Lockdown Victims Jumping From Highrises. “Some residents, broke and increasingly hungry, are making the last desperate act of defiance.”

Bonus: Florida Man Friday: Now That’s What I Call Getting Tased.

BETTER THAN GETTING PROBED AT AREA 51: As classified B-21 bomber nears flight, secret facility sees more curious ‘probing.’ “Weird things keep happening at Air Force Plant 42. Drunk drivers ramming into barbed wire fences. A lost traveler looking for a gas station. Seemingly repetitive auto accidents. As the Air Force gets ready for first flight of the highly classified B-21 bomber, service officials told Breaking Defense the secretive facility where it is being built has seen a rising number of incursions — suspected snoopers hoping to sneak a peak at the latest secret project.”

GRANNY KILLER CUOMO UPDATE: What Cuomo Missed Deadline to Run as Dem for State Office Says About His Political Future. “Cuomo’s choice to not seek statewide office as the long-standing member of the state’s Democratic political party that he is lends support to our main hypothesis about his true ambitions as a man who has access to $16+ million in his political campaign’s bank account. We think his true aim is to use that resource to influence the potential pool of jurors who will decide the multiple court cases he faces.”

POLITICS IS DOWNSTREAM FROM CULTURE: On Conservative Inc.’s Culture War Disdain. “They seem more afraid of alienating liberal MSM and Hollywood friends over culture war issues than paying attention to outrage among actual voters.”

COLORADO SPRINGS: D11 dissolves Department of Equity and Inclusion.

Colorado Springs School District 11 has effectively dissolved its groundbreaking Department of Equity and Inclusion and, with it, the director of equity and inclusion position.

By a “thumbs-up” at the April 6 board meeting, D11’s board voted 4-2 not to fund the equity department in the 2022-23 preliminary school year budget. The board’s conservative majority led the decision; directors Julie Ott and Darleen Daniels opposed the move.

This decision shutters the department that implemented D11’s equity policy and practices, which were put in place in 2020 under previous Superintendent Dr. Michael Thomas, to “meet the unique needs of all students.”

The article mentions “racist and offensive comments by conservative board members Al Loma and Jason Jorgenson,” without ever indicating what those comments might have been. That’s poor reporting — at the very best; a hit job is more likely — by Colorado Springs Business Journal’s Greta Anderson.

Anyway: Much more like this, please.

FASTER, PLEASE: Cancer drug stops tumor growth — puts cancer cells to sleep. “A new therapeutic approach prevents the growth of metastatic tumors in mice by forcing cancer cells into a dormant state in which they are unable to proliferate. The study, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), could lead to new treatments that prevent the recurrence or spread of various cancer types, including breast cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).”
