CHANGE?
🇮🇪 BREAKING: The Irish Government could collapse TOMORROW after Opposition Parties tabled a ‘No Confidence’ motion following recent protests.
Multiple Government politicians will reportedly defect and vote to collapse the Government in tomorrow’s vote.
This would be huge! 🤞 pic.twitter.com/6KlkVjiat4

TED KACZYNSKI, CALL YOUR OFFICE: ‘Close to midnight’: Alleged Sam Altman firebomber wrote of fears AI would end humanity. “San Francisco police said Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama threw a Molotov cocktail at Altman’s home on Russian Hill shortly before 4 a.m. Friday, though security personnel were able to extinguish the fire without injury. Officers arrested him hours later near OpenAI’s Mission Bay headquarters, where they said he was threatening to burn down the building.”
OH:
All I’m saying is that people might be less cynical about the Catholic Church’s grievances against restrictive immigration policy if they hadn’t been awarded $4 billion by the US government for resettling immigrants pic.twitter.com/unCmvF7i9a

SAD: Another Red State, Fully Californicated. “Instead of Silicon Mountain, Colorado is quickly becoming ‘an economic backwater,’ as SLI put it, ‘an omen for what happens when Red states go blue.'”
SPOILER: THE ENTIRE FIELD OF JOURNALISM IS FILLED WITH COWARDLY, DUPLICITOUS, FRIGHTENED LITTLE LAMBS WHO CAN’T TELL THE TRUTH UNLESS THEIR BOSS GIVES THEM PERMISSION.
She says this as if it is a good personal defense. But if she is telling the truth, then the entire field of journalism is filled with cowardly, duplicitous, frightened little lambs who can't tell the truth unless their boss gives them permission.

Plus this from George MF Washington: “And in any case, the ‘wrong’ reporter getting a story is never an excuse to spike the story. When Watergate started to blow up, there was a discussion of taking the story away from Woodstein and giving it to a big name national story. Spiking it because it no longer fit the mandate of the Metro division was never an option.”
“BODY POSITIVITY” KILLS: ‘My 600-Lb. Life’ star Dolly Martinez dead at age 30. “‘My 600-Lb. Life’ follows a year in the life of morbidly obese individuals. Sadly, multiple people featured on the reality series have died.”
PROBABLY, YEAH:
One does not need to be a rocket scientist to realize that the reason Obama henchman David Axelrod met with Pope Leo last week was to coordinate a media propaganda blitz and quasi-color revolution designed to separate faithful American Roman Catholics from support for the MAGA…

And here’s why:
It is patently obvious that these tweets, which are indistinguishable from DNC messaging and make no meaningful mention of Christ, were drafted during or as a result of the meeting with Axelrod. People don’t seem to remember how closely associated the Church and the Democratic… pic.twitter.com/Me5tG785SE

HMM: Trump Administration Decides to Keep the Biden Era ‘Frame or Receiver’ Definition in Place. “The following month, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a disappointing decision upholding the ATF’s ‘Frame or Receiver’ rule, a relic of the Biden Administration. Rather than dismissing the appeal or withdrawing the Biden ATF regulation before the Court ruled, the Trump Administration chose to continue defending the gun control rule, allowing the Court to issue a decision that preserved President Biden’s regulatory overreach.”

SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT: Maryland’s Wes Moore Gets the ‘Spotlight’ Treatment — and He’s None Too Happy About It.
THIS:
Thanks Joe, we voted for Trump the first time because we said no to Obama’s foreign policy.
We voted for Trump a second and third time for the same reason.
You are literally peddling Obama foreign policy. And if there’s anything we have all learned, it’s that him and you are… https://t.co/PcbLQ2SYQC

Previously: “This is where ‘Drill, baby, drill’ meets MAGA foreign policy, so to those America Only people still fuming that Trump isn’t (and never was) an isolationist, now do you get it?”
TO BE FAIR, IT SOUNDED A LOT LIKE YODELING: Sabrina Carpenter apologizes after mistaking Arab fan’s chant for ‘yodeling’ at Coachella.
The incident occurred Friday night on the main stage, when Carpenter paused between songs and heard a loud sound from the crowd. After finishing her song “Please Please Please” and sitting at the keyboard as the audience quieted, one fan continued shouting, prompting confusion from the pop singer.
“I think I heard someone yodel,” Carpenter said, leading the fan to repeat the sound. Carpenter then responded, “Is that what you’re doing?” before shaking her head and adding with a face of disgust, “I don’t like it.”
“It’s my culture,” the fan replied.
“That’s your culture, is yodeling?” Carpenter asked.
“It’s a call of celebration,” the fan said, to which Caprent joked, “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird.”
Assimilation helps avoid this kind of confusion.
#RESIST:
🇮🇪 WOW! Hundreds of police officers across Ireland are calling in “sick” to work because they refuse to break up peaceful protests.
We are witnessing a major revolt against the Irish Government right now.
Respect to those brave officers for standing with the Irish public! 👏👏 https://t.co/0dXRMsJ9zK

FILL’ER UP: Trump’s Middle East Master Plan. “The thing about that Persian Gulf stranglehold is that, like the Sword of Damocles, it’s only effective until it’s played.”
IT’S FRAUD ALL THE WAY DOWN:
Elon Musk was right.
The federal government was just writing checks to anyone who asked for years on end.
ZERO Verification Requirements.
Today, I confirmed a pattern:
Dissolved business entities billing Medicaid at scale.

“In just one small batch, I’ve verified over $15MM. One was dissolved in 2011, yet between 2020-2024 it billed medicaid over $1.8M.”
The purpose of a system is what it does.
DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Fairfax County schools retain copious cultural observance days out of ‘diversity’ concerns.
Fairfax County Public Schools approved scant changes to the academic calendar this week despite a growing movement among parents demanding that the northern Virginia school district cut down on its exorbitant number of days off for cultural observances.
FCPS has the highest volume of days off in Virginia and among the largest public school systems nationwide. In fact, Fairfax County, a majority-white liberal suburb, dedicates more days off from school to cultural holidays than the demographically diverse city schools in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
That’s a whole lot of virtue signaling, but what about the education?
AND SO IT BEGINS:
Israel Hayom: The U.S. has begun enforcing a naval blockade on Iran, targeting all vessels entering and exiting its ports across the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
The move is expected to inflict about $435M in total daily losses across Iran’s exports, roughly $13B per month,… pic.twitter.com/7Dli9ndh78

THROW THE BASTARDS OUT: Swalwell scandal threatens cascade of House expulsion votes.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Eric Swalwell’s Gubernatorial Bid Gets Hit By the #MeToo Train. “Getting Swalwell completely out of politics seems like it would be overwhelmingly positive for the United States of America, but these are the 21st century Democrats we’re talking about here. As I have written on many occasions, the Democrats always have someone worse waiting in the wings. In this case, someone much, much worse.”

There’s also this:
The question everyone should be asking is how this went on for so long. https://t.co/nfSWQbeGom
— IT Guy (@ITGuy1959) April 13, 2026
Partly because so much of government is made up of people like Swalwell and Porter — everybody has something on everybody.
But maybe mostly because Swalwell was useful, but now he isn’t.
