Nick Arama at Red State thinks Kamala Embarasses Herself Badly With Her Solution to Inflation.

From Wa Free Bee, Veep in Free Fall: Even California Voters Souring on Kamala Harris. At News Nation, Inflation forcing retirees back into jobs. We're not there, yet. Sundance, Fed Governor Christopher Waller Predicts We Have Reached Peak Inflation, Here Is What they Will Not Say. Howie Carr at the BH,  Biden out to empty your pockets. NYPO ed board, Biden uses Putin ‘genocide’ as distraction from inflation woes. Insty, as his occasional gig at NYPo maintains Don’t pretend that high prices and American suffering are a ‘bug’ for the establishment — it’s a historic feature.

They're not going to give up. And why should they? They got away with it last time. At Haut Hair, Jazz Shaw reports Another push for mandatory voting, because Democrats can't count on their own voters. Also, Russia now openly planning to try to help elect Trump? Not so fast. More smoke blown up your ass. Sundance at CTH, Mitch McConnell Warns About Republican Voters Supporting Unacceptable Candidates. Time to end the gerontocracy. Capt.

Ace, First Bus Transporting Illegal Aliens from Texas Arrives in Washington DC, "Greg Abbott declared that these should be called "Putin's Illegal Aliens." (Not really.

This represents a 54% premium over the closing price of the Common Stock on January 28, 2022, the trading day before the Reporting Person began investing in the Issuer, and a 38% premium over the closing price of the Common Stock on April 1, 2022, the trading day before the Reporting Person’s investment in the Issuer was publicly announced."

ADDED: He's promising us free speech. Can we trust him? I don't know, but: 1. We can't trust the current owners of Twitter, and 2. We need to stay engaged and hold his feet to the fire: You promised us free speech, now, and you must give it to us. That won't assure that we get free speech. It will always be a struggle. And not just with him, but with ourselves. You can't know that you will continue in your love for free speech. You may love it in the abstract, but you might fall out of love if you really see it in practice.

What's the fun of being a billionaire if you can't buy the toys you want? Jazz Shaw,  Here we go. Musk offers to buy Twitter outright, and the best part is Liberals Absolutely Lose It Over Elon Musk's Hostile Takeover Bid of Twitter ('Bonchie'). Twitchy notes ‘Don’t like it? Build your own PLATFORM, bro’: Max Boot admitting he’s ‘frightened’ of Elon Musk allowing free speech on Twitter goes SO wrong. This one is worth breaking my self imposed Twitter ban for. (Besides, if Elon buys it, I might join):
