Batshit crazy MAGA lawyer Lin Wood told the Daily Beast on Sunday he’s no longer friends with MyPillow asshole Mike Lindell, a breakup precipitated over some disagreement over the mythology of 2020 election “audits”. Wood also alleged that Lindell acolyte David Clements is a member of a “Red Shoe Club”, which is a secret cabal of – get this – secret child murderers.
Using 3-D digital technology, scientists were for the first time able to assemble a representation of 16,000 glyphs found on the ceiling of a cave in Alabama, including at least three images of humanoid beings, Business Insider reports.
The physical characteristics of the cave made it impossible to gauge the massive find: with the cave just three feet high in some locations–and no more than six feet high–the visual effect of the drawings could not be appreciated until a digital composite was assembled and the drawings could be artificially distanced from the viewer.
Photographers Stephen Alvarez and Alan Cressler worked with archeologist Jan Simek to take more than 16,000 photographs of the caves. “It took like years for my knees to recover. It’s just kneeling and stooping for hours and hours and hours in days and days and days on end,” said Alvarez, who had started photographing the glyphs in 1999.
Twitter users say this kid is not an actual FDNY member, but the 31 year-old “Groyper” stay-at-home son of a (possibly) retired firefighter per the name/ladder company on the fleece.
More than 100 new graduates of Wiley College, a small historically black college in Marshall, Texas learned that an anonymous benefactor had paid off all of their outstanding college debt, totally roughly $300,000, the Associated Press reports.
Internationally known for its debate team, which was immortalized in the 2008 movie The Great Debaters, Wiley has around 1,400 students enrolled across all disciplines.
“We are constantly communicating with donors to assist students in these ways so that they can begin their after-college experience with less debt,” Herman J. Felton Jr., Wiley’s president and CEO, said in the news release.
The leaders of seven of the largest economies in the world vowed to phase out or immediately stop the import of oil and gas from Russia in an effort to deny Russian President Vladimir Putin of much-needed funds to finance his invasion of Ukraine, the Washington Post reports.
The pledge came after the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States had a video conference call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, who urged them to increase the pressure on Putin and other Russian oligarchs.
The leaders made the promise as First Lady Dr. Jill Biden visited Ukrainian villages along the border with Slovakia and Canadian Prime Minister made a surprise visit to Kyiv and Irpin, a suburb of the capital.
The left always sends their mob to fight their political wars.
And they fund them.
Protecting abortion in order to continue sacrificing babies by slaughtering them in the womb is everything to the violent and godless left.
This will get worse and we will not be intimidated. https://t.co/8OWIGcQmMv

Kind of rich how a woman who ran unopposed for Congress because death threats from her fans prompted her Dem opponent to abandon his home and flee the district to hide at his parents’ house in Indiana is now condemning the left sending “their mob to fight their political wars”.
Awfully convenient too how this anti-abortion group have yet to show surveillance footage of these Antifa soldiers attacking their building. The Madison.com story that Mike Cernovich cock knob links has not a single query match for “camera”, “surveillance”, “footage”, or “security”. You’d think that maybe, just maybe, they would have every inch of that place covered in cameras being an institution devoted entirely to a contentious issue and would be very quick to publicize the footage of the arson and graffiti so police could apprehend the lib terrorists. The burden of proof for an accusation in a post-Jussie Smollett media environment is a little higher than before.
Had the same thing happened to a Planned Parenthood clinic, MAGA world would be demanding to scrutinize every single frame of video and would shriek “FALSE FLAG” every moment of every day until the perpetrators had been caught and identified as right wingers. Then they would switch to saying the attackers were actually righteous patriots fighting to deliver justice for the unborn.
Democratic Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy goes into the lions’ den of the Fox cable propaganda network onto a show with one of their so-called “straight news” anchors–with “straight news” not meaning news about heterosexuals (which is all you get on Fox anyway unless someone in the LGBTQ community is in trouble or Greg Gutfeld questions his sexuality again). Bret Baier starts throwing out misinformation at Murphy, who calmly and rationally responds to each of them.
But the piece de resistance comes at the end when Baier tries to land a sucker punch by asking Murphy if he taught his children about sex–“the birds and the bees” and “the birds and the birds,” as Baier mockingly put it–at the age of five. Murphy comes back with facts: Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill was specifically targeted at LGBTQ kids, not at discussing sex with children in K-3rd grade, as Baier claimed, because a provision in the bill that would have made any talk about sex illegal was taken out of the bill, by Republicans, before it was passed by Republicans. So it’s not about sex; it’s about shaming LGBTQ kids and kids whose parents are LGBTQ.
South Philadelphia ward leader Billy Lanzilotti was voted out of office by other city GOP officials Saturday after he was found to have diverted dozens of mail-in ballots to a PO box registered to a PAC he controls, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Lanzilotti, GOP boss of the 39th Ward was running to lead the neighboring 26th Ward, as it is permitted by the city Republican Party’s rules for bosses to lead multiple wards at the same time, had apparently schemed to forge ballots for voters in the 26th and get himself elected, showing Trump was right about corrupt elections in Philly.
Never mind the GOP hypocrisy on election fraud, we’ve been through it dozens of times now. What we want to highlight instead here is how local elections, especially in blue collar cities still dominated by early 20th Century style “machine politics” and even more especially in races for posts within those machines that aren’t even public offices like “ward leaders”, by nature are rife with all sorts of bullshit like this due to low turnout, low media interest, and the insular nature of the institutions in play – for both parties. Breitbart isn’t lying when they scream that some corrupt Dem’s ballot harvesting scam vitiated a city council election in Patterson, New Jersey, they’re just full of shit when they imply it’s supposed to have some implication on a national scale.
Of course some asshole ward boss is going to try and almost succeed at rigging a local intra-party election for himself, because it’s the middle of May and (normally) nobody’s paying attention. If anything corrupt local officials are probably more likely to run November state and national elections even cleaner than other jurisdictions would because screwing around would invite scrutiny onto the non-November elections they do fuck around with. It takes a complete dipshit to think that a crooked local Dem cares more about Biden winning than he does collecting bribes.

The Department of Justice announced Sunday that it has found evidence of crimes against the United States on a yacht owned by Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov that was seized Thursday in Fiji, the Australian network ABC reported.
According to the DOJ, FBI agents boarded $325 million Amadea after it was seized by Fijian authorities pursuant to the sanctions put on Russian oligarchs after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. The documents detail the movement of money through US financial institutions before and after the sanctions were put in place. The US has blocked obnoxiously wealthy Russia oligarchs, who made their mountains of money with Putin’s permission, from funneling money through US banking institutions.
Kerimov has been under US sanctions since 2018 for supporting and promoting the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine. Upon the yacht’s seizure, Attorney General Merrick Garland said, “There is no hiding place for the assets of individuals who violate US laws. And there is no hiding place for the assets of criminals who enable the Russian regime.”
A survey conducted by a Democratic pollster shows MAGA asshole QAnon fan Pennsylvania state Senator Doug Mastriano in the lead at 28%, twice that of his closest rival, Trump-undorsed former US Attorney Bill McSwain who came in second at 14%. MAGA former Congressman and fake Trump 2020 elector Lou Barletta drew 12%, while terrible driver, Hill guest columnist, and other fake Trump 2020 elector Charlie Gerow wasn’t even listed. Seems like the sandbagging ads that the presumptive Dem nominee, current Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s campaign bought touting Mastriano as “one of Donald Trump’s strongest supporters” are working.
“If Mastriano wins the Republican primary in Pennsylvania, he may well cost Republicans the U.S. Senate race that will share the ballot this fall, a couple of congressional races, and perhaps even majorities in the state House and state Senate. That would be a pretty remarkable feat in a year when Republicans are expected to succeed throughout the country,” warns Washington Examiner columnist Salena Zito, adding “Mastriano is that bad. Yet everywhere you go across rural Pennsylvania, there are Mastriano campaign signs for governor. They are in yards, parking lots, along the sides of highways, and along the side of buildings. Try telling any of these voters that Mastriano has a lot of issues, and they dig in and support him more.”
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden met with her Ukrainian counterpart during a previously-unannounced trip to the war-torn nation as Dr. Biden completed a four-day swing through Eastern Europe, the Associated Press reports.
Biden met with Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during a two-hour trip in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, a ten minute drive from the Slovakian border. “I wanted to come on Mother’s Day,” Biden told Zelenska. “I thought it was important to show the Ukrainian people that this war has to stop and this war has been brutal and that the people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine.”
Dr. Biden traveled to Romania and Slovakia to meet with refugees, US military personnel, embassy staff and aid workers over the last four days.

Police in Raleigh, North Carolina Saturday afternoon shot and killed a man who was attempting to set cars on fire in a shopping center parking lot after he started lobbing Molotov cocktails at their patrol cars, the Associated Press reports.
The confrontation began when an officer saw the man attempting to set fire to cars parked near a police station. As backup arrived, the officers tried to get the individual to talk, he threw two more devices at police cars, nearly hitting an officer, at which time, officers opened fire.
The officers dragged the wounded man away from the two burning vehicles and administered first aid, but the man died later at a hospital.
Women in Afghanistan must again don clothing that cover every inch of their skin in the latest ruling by the Taliban limiting women’s rights since they retook control of the country last year, the Washington Post reports.
“This is not a restriction on women but an order of the Quran,” said Akif Muhajir, a spokesman for the Ministry of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, referring to the Taliban’s strict interpretation of Islamic law. “It is the order of Allah and the prophet Muhammad.”
The Taliban have given women an option of one of two outfits: a the head-to-toe outfit called a burqa, or a cloth veil covering the face paired with a headscarf and long robe called an abaya,
CNN contributor Tristan Snell reports that lawyers for Donald Trump have told New York State investigators that Trump has lost four of the cell phones the state Attorney General subpoenaed in its investigation into Trump’s shady business practices.
Trump has amassed more than $100,000 in fines, at $10,000 per day, for failing to turn over information, documents and devices subpoenaed by the court.
A Maine school district canceled its classes Friday after routine tests found elevated levels of lead in the water used by the facilities and fed through water fountains and sinks, WMTW reports.
Levels of lead in drinking water measuring under 15 ppm would require extensive replacement and repairs; in about 15% of the fixtures in the schools tested, measurements were above that level. A third of the fixtures tested had levels between 4 ppm to 15 ppm, which requires mitigation according to state regulations. The school district has purchased 10,000 bottles of drinking water, and will undertake the replacement of fixtures as a way to fix the problem.
Christian film site “MovieGuide.com”, which bills itself as “The family guide to movies and entertainment”, says the new Dinesh D’Souza sci-fi action thriller “2000 Mules” is mostly okay for audiences of all ages, since the harshest language is “one borderline OMG profanity.” “Very strong moral, patriotic worldview exposing massive illegal vote fraud, specifically illegal ballot harvesting, in the 2020 presidential election and supporting the United States Constitution and representative government by free and fair elections,” says the section on the page describing the film.
Not for nothing, but that’s not really objective at all. It’s almost like this MoveGuide.com guy is still really upset his not really Christian at all President lost eighteen months ago. Just fucking explain the movie, don’t go all whiny and bitchy about it bro. Like this dipshit wrote in his review of “The Batman” that there was a “a politically correct comment about ‘white privilege’ by major female character” but this is redeemed because it the movie “shows hero stopping a villain who envies the rich and powerful,” and blah blah blah. What kind of asshole thinks that’s something “objectionable” that parents should avoid exposing their children to? Does this guy actually give a shit about parents or is he trying to push an agenda? That was a rhetorical question, of course he’s got an agenda. Viewers should avoid the objectionable content on MovieGuide.com – all of it.

Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Saturday that all women, children, and old people had been successfully rescued from the massive steel foundry in the besieged port city of Mariupol where they had been sheltering for weeks, the Associated Press reports. “The president’s order has been carried out: all women, children and the elderly have been evacuated from Azovstal. This part of the Mariupol humanitarian operation has been completed,” said Vereshchuk
