I was on and off and on again with J.D. Vance in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio. I recently told my husband that I would be voting for him next month. And this seals it for me now…

Twitchy: IT’S OFFICIAL: Donald Trump endorses J.D. Vance for the U.S. Senate in Ohio … Vance has been honest about his being wrong about Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for POTUS in 2016. Vance has said after Trump’s four years in office and all the good (great) things he accomplished, in spite of the trash the democrats and the MSM continually threw at him, he willingly changed his opinion of the man. This endorsement is good to see, especially at this horrible time in this country.

“Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not so great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades”

That Strong Smell of Musk Scorching the Tech Overlords’ and MSM’s Nostrils:

Adam Sabes: SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS – Expert explains why leftists are ‘terrified’ of Musk’s Twitter takeover: A free speech advocate says that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would do a “ton” better at making Twitter a pro-free speech platform and says that leftists are “terrified” at that thought.

If they don’t sell they will be lucky to have ANY value left in a couple years. Their gnashing and wailing is just proving what we’ve already believed to be true. There are censorship and biased decision making systems in place that will seriously harm the public trust.

Twitchy: ‘Not a FINANCIAL decision, it never WAS’: Jeff Carlson lays into Twitter for taking #poisonpill to reject Elon Musk in zero-punches-pulled thread

Are you using your shareholders’ money to promote your own ideologies – at the direct expense of increased return to your shareholders?

Because, honestly, that’s the only explanation I can come up with given the steps you’ve allowed to be taken in the management of Twitter.

— Jeff Carlson (@themarketswork) April 15, 2022

They are indeed. “F” the Twitter shareholders is a really-realz great business practice.

If the game is fair, Elon will buy Twitter. If the game is rigged, there will be some reason why he won’t be able to. We’re about to find out how deep the corruption goes.

And here’s some truth perspective coming at you…

I’m a little more concerned about Bill Gates buying up all the farmland than I am Elon musk buying Twitter.

RIGHT??!!??

Rotten Eggs:

21st Century War Looks Like 20th Century Wars…

Jesse O’Neill: 900 dead bodies Civilians found slaughtered in Ukraine as Zelensky says nearly 3K troops killed in war

Kyle Morris: Biden administration resumes oil and gas leases on federal lands as gasoline prices soar: The Department of Interior announced Friday that it will resume the sale of oil and gas leases on federal land beginning next week. … We’re onto this. From comments:

The leases and costs will be so high that no one will be able to produce oil economically. But they can now claim they “opened” up the leases. However, the economic and political environment for new drilling operations is prohibitive. This is just talking points.

Oh, they will provide the leases at great expense but refuse or slow the impact studies or otherwise interfere with the actual pumping and moving of oil to the American consumer.

Note that they are only releasing 20% of the original parcels, excluding the best sites. Also, they are upping the bureaucratic and environmental restrictions at the same time. Always read the fine print when a Leftist offers you something.

The administration needs to provide clear evidence and details on this. It has been their policy all along to end oil and gas, a political decision like this in the face of a looming electoral disaster should be viewed with great skepticism.

Exactly. They ain’t wrong. This latest slight-of-hand move by the floundering leader of the soon-to-be stomped democrat party is worthless bullshit. I doubt it will even cause a minor blip in the markets come Monday morning, as they are onto him/them too. Besides, just know the environmental activist groups will have everyone tied up in court every step of the way, as they do now with those alleged “unused leases” oil companies already hold that the administration always chides about. All the oil companies have to do is drive onto the land and they’re dragged to court for environmental complaints. Oh, and google 2022 current map of federal lands. Amazing.

Nothing has been built.

The only thing that is back is Obama’s shitty energy policies.

The only thing better is that China has billions of more dollars than the did in 2019

Twitchy: Jen Psaki does clean-up duty on her own comments instead of Biden’s for a change (about Peter Doocy)

Full video shows I also told a story about Peter’s grace last night and made very clear I was not being critical of him or any reporter at Fox, and instead was critical of the slant of some Fox topics. He is doing his job. I am doing mine. We debate. We disagree. I respect that.

Sure, Jen. Sure.

And they call themselves “progressive”…

CR: Dozens of universities host segregated graduation ceremonies based on ‘identities’: More than three dozen colleges and universities are hosting 2022 graduation events based on race, gender, or sexual orientation. Ohio State University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Illinois State University, the University of North Texas, and the University of La Verne all offer ceremonies based on race. … From snowflakes to self-imposed segregationists.

And cancer is not a contagion. Why a vax instead of a cure??

DM: Scientists discover world’s first cure for heart attacks using the same mRNA technology as Covid vaccines: Technology used to make Covid vaccines is now helping to regenerate hearts.
