[GatewayPundit] The shrine to Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... , aka the Obama library at the Obama Presidential Center (OPC), is still under construction in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Photos of the building made the rounds on social media recently, and the building is receiving harsh criticism, with some suggesting the barren, characterless building looks more like a prison than a library. Built with DEI concrete. Good luck.
Biz Pac Review notes that the building, designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, features an exterior wrapped in granite panels and is one of "numerous buildings on the massive 19-acre Obama Presidential Center campus, which has been priced at about $830 million by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named."

The CA is already a concentration camp for the unhoused criminally insane. Free fentanyl is the perfect Final Solution. California Uber Alles!

I'm okay with doing away with Narcan. Paramedics I know are tired of picking up / treating addicts multiple times for fentanyl. It'd drive down medical costs / taxes as they are almost always on the public dime.
[NYPOST] Nadine Menendez was convicted Monday of cooking up a crooked scheme with her husband — ex-New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez — to sell out his political post for gold bars, a Mercedes-Benz and other bribes.
Jurors found the 58-year-old Englewood Cliffs resident guilty of all 15 federal corruption charges against her following about eight hours of deliberations over two days.
Wearing all-black save for a pink mask over her face, Nadine showed no discernible emotion as the jury foreman read out the guilty verdict inside a sparsely filled Manhattan federal courtroom.
[NYPOST] House Republicans have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge former New York Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo for making ''criminally false statements'' to Congress, citing ''overwhelming evidence'' that an audit he presided over had low-balled nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The House Oversight Committee re-upped the criminal referral after then-Attorney General Merrick Garland declined last year to prosecute Cuomo for allegedly triggering, helping to draft and reviewing a July 6, 2020, report that undercounted the total number of deaths in senior care facilities by 46%.
''Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee's investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York,'' said Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement.

A baseball player, forget his name, went to prison for lying to Congress about steroid abuse.
Who was it, the head of the FBI, did the same thing and no charges were filed.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] In the year after he ''retired,'' Fauci pulled in approximately $3.5 million, cashing in on the fame he garnered during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a financial disclosure obtained by government watchdog Open the Books.
''Dr. Fauci's assets soared during the worst of the draconian Covid lockdowns while families and small businesses struggled through school closures and lost income. Now it's clear the cash kept coming during his first year of 'retirement,''' Open The Books CEO John Hart told the Daily Caller. ''He was rubbing elbows with groups like AHIP flanked by taxpayer-funded security — even as his wife remained the top bioethicist at NIH.''
[DAILYWIRE] Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to direct food manufacturers to phase out eight petroleum-based food dyes from cereals, sports drinks, and other grocery staples by the end of 2026.
The directive, expected to be announced in full detail on Tuesday, affects hundreds of thousands of grocery store items containing eight petroleum-based dyes, which health experts have long criticized for potentially causing hyperactivity and other neurobehavioral problems in children, according to a New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... report.
The eight dyes being targeted include Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, Green No. 3, Red No. 3, and Orange B, according to details provided by HHS officials to the Times. Green dye #3 is my favorite. Mmmmmmmm
Of course. Just look at you!
Food industry experts estimate that the reformulation costs could reach into the billions, though many companies have already developed alternative formulations for their European and Canadian products.

These were invented to use up waste products and make a few more pennies from already-wealthy oil companies.
Hurting our children for profit. Where have we heard this before?

Over the last two centuries or so, the human race has been marinating in a stew of manmade chemicals. The variety of these chemicals has been expanded with each new invention. They can (but not always do) act as direct poisons, hormones, carcinogens, inflammation promoters, etc. Now microscopic deposits of modern plastics are being found in tissues of many organisms. I got my bachelor's degree in chemistry, but after I discovered how many of old time chemists died of chemical toxicity I chose another path.

Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, Green No. 3, Red No. 3, and Orange B
When you look at the list of ingredients and you see an innocuous sounding name like one of the above you might not think much about it. But what if they had to list the ingredients, the chemicals, that are used to produce Orange B and all the rest of them?

I've heard it said that if you can't pronounce the names of the ingredients in a food or beverage, you should not consume it.

[DAILYSIGNAL] The Trump administration may ''soon'' institute a plan for undocumented Democrat farm workers to leave the country then return legally to work, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said Monday. *cough* Bracero program *cough*
''The president at his Cabinet meeting, the one about a week and a half ago, brought that up, and he really fully understands and realizes that our dairy producers, our row croppers, our citrus producers, they have to have labor to be able to feed America, and food security, and America is national security, so it's incredibly encouraging,'' Rollins told The Daily Signal. ''He realizes that, but at the same time realizing that you have to secure the border, you've got to have an immigration system in place that makes sense for America and puts America first.''
''So I believe it will be soon,'' she added, ''but we're working through all the details.''

Better than what was predicted late Sunday night. That was that Harvard would file for bankruptcy. Reason was most of the massive endowment was in non-public equities, hard to liquidate to replace the loss of Gov monies. It was mentioned that Penn, Princeton, Yale and Stanford had a similar problem.
[NYPOST] Harvard University slapped a lawsuit against the Trump administration Monday in a bid to unfreeze over $2.2 billion in grants and other funding imposed against the wealthy Ivy League school for refusing to make reforms to combat antisemitism on campus and address other concerns.
Alan Garber, 69, Harvard's president, accused President Trump's team of seeking ''unprecedented and improper control'' over campus affairs to keep the federal funds flowing.
''These actions have stark real-life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, researchers, and the standing of American higher education in the world,'' Garber warned in a blistering statement.
''The consequences of the government's overreach will be severe and long-lasting.''
Earlier this month, the Trump administration's White House task force on antisemitism sent an April 11 email to Harvard University outlining a slew of demands that the prestigious school clamp down on antisemitism and end certain diversity and gender programs in favor of merit.
Those demands included steps such as establishing more merit-based hiring; ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs; reforming ''programs with egregious records of antisemitism and other bias;'' and stepping up admissions screening of international applicants to ''prevent admitting students hostile to the American values,'' including those ''supportive of terrorism or antisemitism.''

How does the wealthiest university in the world, which charges a mint every semester, go broke?
Next: sob stories about how Harvard is America's "global leadership" or other bullshit. Nobody cares. It's time we tended our own garden, and it's full of weeds.
Let JD Vance loose on them like he did to Europe in Munich. A permanent discrediting of them, using nothing but the truth.

I cant believe how much we subsidize colleges. Hate being a tax serf, what dont we fund. Everything in the world that hates me, somehow they found a way for me to fund it.
[REDSTATE] After a week in which Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) completely embarrassed himself by having a meeting with an illegal alien alleged MS-13 gang member who has also been accused of beating his wife, you might think he would go to ground and hide away in shame. But that would mean he had shame.
He apparently doesn't, since instead, he was hitting all the Sunday shows on Easter trying to attack the Trump team and push the twisted narrative of his visit. But even going on friendly stations didn't go well for him.
On "Meet the Press," he didn't seem to understand why the murder of Rachel Morin, a resident of Maryland, the state he's supposed to represent, was relevant.
"I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder that he had absolutely nothing to do with," he said, dismissing that fact and people calling him out for not advocating or caring about Morin.
Then there was CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... and Dana Bash. Bash brought up the question of Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 tattoos, which President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons... pointed out. She doesn't note the court findings that Abrego Garcia was a member. But she asked Van Hollen if he could say that Abrego Garcia was not a member: "Did you ask him point blank?"
Van Hollen's answer showed the exact problem Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... have with this case.

I have always tried to stay out of who other states elect to national office. Unfortunately, this guy is spending my money, advocating for dangerous legal decisions and voting for policies that hurt my state and the whole country.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
