Biden's Worst Week Yet

Paul Bedard at WaEx finds White House Report Card: Zogby declares ‘worst week,’ D-, so far . . . Bear with me on this next one one, it's takes a little time to develop. Stacy McCain notes that suddenly Liberals Want Ukraine to Negotiate?, and thinks it's liberals wanting a win for Biden before the midterms. Are they that devious? Of course they are. 

Politics, that’s what. The war in Ukraine has driven up gas prices, contributing to an inflation problem that’s making the Biden administration look bad, and we’re now less than six months away from the midterm elections, which are looking grim for the Democrats. So the New York Times wants a ceasefire in Ukraine to bail out the Democrats.

Mediaite shocked, shocked that Almost 70 Percent of Republicans Say IMPEACH BIDEN After Midterm Win. We warned them that making the impeachment of a President pro-forma after the other party takes the house would come back to bite them, but did they listen? Brandon Morse at Red State notes that The Latest Plummet in Biden's Approval Comes From Within His Own Party. "The current main figure of the Democrat Party is drowning and taking his colleagues with him. Midterms look to be an unmitigated disaster for Democrats despite doing everything to try to stop the bleeding except the right things." And what would we do without Florida Man?

Ben Whedon at JTN warns Pennsylvania GOP Senate race may not see winner until June, "Dr. Mehmet Oz currently holds a narrow 1,079 vote lead." At CTH, sundance digs in, Federal Court Mail-in Ballot Ruling in Unrelated Election May Impact Tight PA Primary Senate Race. Send lawyers, guns and money. 

WaPoo, Voting is surging in Georgia despite controversial new election law, "Tuesday’s primary is the first big test of the legislation, which was opposed by voting rights groups and Democrats." NewsBusters, Georgia Breaks Records Using Law Media Decried as Voter Suppression. Sundance, Record Early Voting in Georgia as Major Primary Race Takes Place Next Week. At Twitchy, Aaron Rupar spots logical fallacy in WaPo reporter’s tweet on surging voter turnout in Ga. undercutting Dem narrative.

So what does it mean then? More people voting suggests that it's somehow harder to do? How the hell does turnout increase then? https://t.co/fMCQJA5wBQ

Ryan King at WaEx, New York court cements Democratic bloodbath with new map while Court reinstates DeSantis's congressional map, the main difference being that NY specifically outlawed partisan redistricting. Now do Maryland. Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair (VIP) is amused that The congressional redistricting maps are apparently not only racist, but also sexist.

At Your News, 80 ‘Suspicious Actors’ Under Scrutiny by Jan. 6 Defense Attorneys

Defense attorneys seek to identify and investigate 80 suspicious actors and material witnesses, some of whom allegedly ran an entrapment operation against the Oath Keepers on January 6, 2021, and committed crimes including the removal of security fencing, breaching police lines, attacking officers, and inciting crowds to storm into the Capitol.

In a motion (pdf) and supplement filed after 11 p.m. on May 5 in federal court in Washington, attorney Brad Geyer listed 80 people, some of whom he said could be government agents or provocateurs. The people are seen on video operating in a coordinated fashion across the Capitol grounds on January 6, the attorney alleged.

Geyer’s suggestion of an entrapment scheme will resonate with dozens of January 6 defense attorneys, coming shortly after two men were acquitted of an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). There was a hung jury on charges against two other defendants. The jury in that case was allowed to consider FBI entrapment as a defense.

Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair, The coming blackouts. Do NOT say you were not warned 

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its latest reliability assessment for the summer of 2022 and, to put it mildly, the news is not good. In far too many states, the power grid is already nearly at full capacity, and in the next few months, that capacity will be exceeded. This isn’t a question of “if” or really even “when.” It’s just a fact.
. . .
One of the older sayings in modern politics is that the first responsibility of the government is to “keep the lights on and the trains running.” If they fail at that job, they have failed the nation entirely. And they’ll probably wind up with a revolt on their hands.
