  1. Could Hogan Actually Win in Deep Blue MD? The former governor remains widely popular but faces a 2:1 Democratic electorate in a presidential year with Trump on the ballot. JOHN HALPIN https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/could-hogan-actually-win-in-deep .
  2. HUH, WHAT HAPPENED FOUR YEARS AGO? Here’s how much Americans say they need to retire — and it’s 53% higher than four years ago. Americans have lofty goals for their retirement, with the typical worker believing they need $1.46 million to retire comfortably — a jump of 53% from their savings target in 2020, according to a new survey from Northwestern Mutual. But most people are far from reaching that objective, with the study finding that the average amount held in a retirement account today is just $88,400. That means that the typical worker has a $1.37 million gap between their actual savings and their retirement aspirations. Due to the impact of inflation and other financial pressures, Americans today believe they need to sock away more for their golden years compared with 2020, when the typical worker pegged a comfy retirement as requiring $951,000 in savings, Aditi Javeri Gokhale, chief strategy officer at Northwestern Mutual, told CBS MoneyWatch. There are other contributing factors, but four years ago was when Washington set the money printing presses to Ludicrous Speed and they haven’t slowed down since. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/retirement-savings-how-much-americans-need-1-46-million/ .
  3. Where Were These Ceasefire Bleeding Hearts for the Past 20 Years of Hamas’s Carnage? If you care about humanitarian issues, you should be calling on Hamas to surrender. It’s telling that no one is doing that. https://danaloesch.substack.com/p/where-were-these-ceasefire-bleeding .
  4. THE FEELING IS MUTUAL: Pete Buttigieg Hates Your Car, but Mostly He Thinks You’re an Idiot. America's eminently mockable Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, went on national TV on Tuesday to mock Americans who find that electric cars don't suit their transportation needs. "Sometimes, when these debates happen," the failed former mayor of South Bend, Ind. told Fox News, "I feel like it's the early 2000s and I'm talking to some people who think that we can just have landline phones forever." https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/04/03/pete-buttigieg-hates-your-car-but-mostly-he-thinks-youre-an-idiot-n4927850 .
  5. Texts from Hunter Biden's business partner to Tony Bobulinski suggests president was part of deal with Chinese government-linked oil giant CEFC by Josh Boswell Emails show Hunter Biden's ex-business partner and impeachment witness Tony Bobulinski offered information to Democrat lawmakers on Joe Biden's links to his son's shady business dealings as early as 2020. Records also show the businessman offered to turn over his business cell phones to forensic analysts – countering claims from Democrats that he isn't willing to back up his story with evidence. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13264981/Texts-Hunters-Bidens-business-partner-Tony-Bobulinski-suggests-president-deal-Chinese-government-linked-oil-giant-CEFC-new-Tucker-Carlson-documentary-reveals.html .
  6. JK Rowling to Scottish Speech Fascists: 'Arrest Me' DAVID STROM JK Rowling is challenging the Scottish police to arrest her. Her crime? Hate speech is now illegal in Scotland after a new law went into effect. And her Twitter thread calling men claiming to be women "men" is a clear violation of that law. Clear. Unambiguous. Not even a shadow of a doubt. She broke the law and wants to be arrested. And who could blame her? As a billionaire with a cause, she could blaze the trail for the civil rights of her fellow so-called TERFS. Rowling gets death threats every day for the simple crime of saying the obvious: men who put on a dress are not suddenly women, and women deserve to have their own private spaces. These are truths that literally everybody but the mentally ill knows, but in Scotland, it is now illegal to say it. The Narrative™ is THE LAW. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/04/02/jk-rowling-to-scottish-speech-fascists-arrest-me-n3785737
  7. JUDGING ADEEL MANGI: After years immersed in radical politics, the nominee claims he never knew nothing about it. “To hear the Biden White House and their allies tell it, Third Circuit judicial nominee Adeel Mangi—whose nomination is all but dead following three Democratic defections—is the victim of a vicious right-wing smear campaign.” https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/judging-adeel-mangi/ Accurately reporting what leftists do and say is a smear. .
  8. From the comments. I take it differently. I think the point is that everyone else misses the point. That is what the crowd represents. Loving people in the abstract is easy. It is easy to love those with whom you have sympathy. It is hard to love those who are not aligned with you. Rarely can anyone di that well, The conservative Christians don't and the liberal doo-gooders don't. Each hate those who oppose their world view. The message was radical 4000 years ago. It was radical 2000 years ago, it is radical now. In the spirit of Easter, the Gospel message is that God loved those who opposed Him. All of them. Even the ones who hung His son on a cross. Good thing for us. He tell us to do have the same kind of love for those whom we hate. But we fail. Good thing for us that this does not disqualify us for heaven. Otherwise Jesus dying on the cross would have been meaningless. So, next time you jump on a Christian for being a hypocrite, just remember, that God accepts them despite that failing. https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6329595&postID=3123278496564338654
  9. RFK Jr. said what needs to be said: Biden's use of government power to suppress the speech of his political antagonists is a worse threat to democracy than whatever Trump has done. "I can make the argument that President Biden is the much worse threat to democracy, and the reason for that is President Biden is... the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, so to censor his opponent. I can say that because I just won a case in the federal court of appeals — and now before the Supreme Court — that shows that he started censoring not just me but, 37 hours after he took the oath of office, he was censoring me (sic). No President in the country has ever done that. The greatest threat in democracy is not somebody who questions election returns but a President of the United States who used the power of his office to force the social media companies — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter — to open a portal and give access to that portal to the FBI, to the CIA, to the IRS, to [???], to NIH, to censor his political critics. President Biden, the first President in history, used his power over the Secret Service to deny Secret Service protection to one of his political opponents, for political reasons. He's weaponizing the federal agencies. Those are really critical threats to democracy."
  10. DNC Activist Warns Democrats to Stop Registering Young Voters, "They're Gonna Vote for Trump" This is a little funny. The Washington Post has an article about Democrat data scientist Aaron Strauss, who helps direct progressive spending at the firm OpenLabs, warning his peers that registering young people to vote, young people of color specifically, is helping Donald Trump. The data shows that when Democrats help register young voters, they end up registering people who will vote for Trump. Now they are considering not even holding voter registration drives in target markets because they align with Trump. WAPO – […] A confidential memo circulated among top Democratic donors has sparked a furious debate in Democratic circles about whether to narrow the focus of voter registration efforts to avoid signing up likely Republicans. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/04/01/dnc-activists-warns-democrats-to-stop-registering-young-voters-theyre-gonna-vote-for-trump/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/01/democrats-voter-registration-minorities/ .
  11. Who Will Vote for a Walking Corpse? STEPHEN GREEN Social media was briefly abuzz last month about Presidentish Joe Biden's boat-anchor shoes, the ones meant to help keep him from falling. But the shoes aren't what really weigh him down — it's voter expectations that he won't survive a second term. https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/04/01/who-will-vote-for-a-walking-corpse-n4927812 .
