Biden's pardon of Fauci is unconstitutionally vague, covers 10 years of potential crimes, and was signed by autopen without Biden's direct authorization. You can't pardon someone for crimes never specified. This should be challenged in court.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

We’ve got Germans roaming the South talking about how awesome America is while Owens and Carlson try to convince you a dictatorship overrun with alcholics, a 75% divorce rate, and church attendance less than France is a traditionalist paradise.

Wild.

A Kentucky school district, facing a $188 million funding shortfall and $2.5 billion in backlogged maintenance needs on its current school buildings, is planning to spend $260 million to build seven new schools.

Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Yearwood is suggesting this expenditure despite the district having roughly the same number of students as it did 20 years ago and being on a trend of losing hundreds of students per year for the last six years.

Fewer students + $188 million deficit + $2.5 billion in current maintenance needs = new schools needed?

25 years ago today, Justice Scalia delivered his classic "What Is Golf" dissent in PGA Tour v. Martin:
“If one assumes … that the PGA TOUR has some legal obligation to play classic, Platonic golf … then we Justices must confront what is indeed an awesome responsibility. It has been rendered the solemn duty of the Supreme Court of the United States … to decide What Is Golf. I am sure that the Framers of the Constitution, aware of the 1457 edict of King James II of Scotland prohibiting golf because it interfered with the practice of archery, fully expected that sooner or later the paths of golf and government, the law and the links, would once again cross, and that the judges of this august Court would some day have to wrestle with that age-old jurisprudential question, for which their years of study in the law have so well prepared them: Is someone riding around a golf course from shot to shot really a golfer? The answer, we learn, is yes. The Court ultimately concludes, and it will henceforth be the Law of the Land, that walking is not a ‘fundamental’ aspect of golf. Either out of humility or out of self-respect (one or the other) the Court should decline to answer this incredibly difficult and incredibly silly question.”

The data is even more revealing when you remove suicides.

In 2024, America had 15,364 gun homicides.

The same year, Europe had around 62,700 deaths from summer heat.

America had ~2000.

That's a policy choice.

Don’t think of it as losing a Congressman.

Think of it as gaining a podcaster.

@ShannonJoyRadio I love when people from the coasts pretend to know anything about KY politics. It’s always soooo accurate 🙄

[Michael Frazier @Mr_FrazierKY]

Tanner Hesterberg is a true conservative. As someone who is from and lives in Eastern Kentucky that the reason why *some* want Mr. Crase to win is because they know the Democrat can beat Mr. Crase.

We need Tanner. As someone from Eastern Kentucky who has spent years fighting for free speech, challenging DEI bureaucracies, and standing up to woke college administrators who too often forget who these institutions are supposed to serve, Tanner Hesterberg has my full confidence.

Tanner understands that our universities should be places of open debate, intellectual diversity, and academic excellence — not ideological indoctrination or administrative activism. At a time when too many in higher education try to silence dissent, punish independent thought, and divide students by identity politics, Tanner has consistently stood for fairness, accountability, and the fundamental rights of students and faculty alike.

Kentucky needs leaders who are willing to push back against the culture of censorship and restore common sense to our institutions. Tanner Hesterberg has demonstrated the courage, integrity, and judgment to do exactly that.

I proudly support Tanner Hesterberg and strongly encourage others who care about free speech, academic freedom, and the future of Kentucky higher education to do the same.

Next PGA Championship up for grabs is 2036 and Valhalla in Louisville is circling the wagons, to borrow a phrase from Chris Berman, in pursuit of a 5th PGA there despite 2024 fiasco with Scottie arrest. Story here (with reporting by L-Ville ABC affiliate): https://t.co/zKsJA5xGLd

People must forget that Journalism ran in all three legs of the Triple Crown last year at a very high level and won the Preakness. It can be done, trainers just take the easy way out now.

Personal News: After 4 years at the @heraldleader, I am leaving. My last day is May 22. Helping people understand Kentucky, and holding its powerful to account, has been a dream job.

Thanks to every reader and everyone I met along the way! Hope I did Kentucky proud.

Indiana Republicans: “Look, we can’t redistrict. It’d just be too mean.”

Ron DeSantis: “Give me two days.”

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

It took DeSantis two days to get this done.

Dude is simply a legend.

Turns out the story of the year was just...made up. and it gets worse.

- John Doe is Chirayu Rana, 35, now a principal at Bregal Sagemount. he left JPMorgan and went straight to private equity.

- The whole "threaten his bonus" premise collapsed. Hajdini reported to a completely different managing director than Rana. she had no say over his compensation.

- JPMorgan pulled phone records, reviewed emails, interviewed the full team. found nothing. Rana even refused to participate in his own investigation.

- A colleague described Rana as "socially awkward" but someone who "met the requirements" to stay at the bank.

- Before any lawsuit, he tried to negotiate a payout in the "millions" to leave the bank quietly. they didn't bite.

- He filed court filing, then his lawyers retracted it for "corrections" and deleted it. But the Daily Mail already ran the whole thing and the rest twitter did its thing.

so he tried to get paid, didn't, then filed a now-retracted complaint against someone who couldn't touch his bonus. wild.

feel terrible for her and her family.

It’s been truly incredible how the entirety of Twitter finally realized nobody has ever been better at basketball than LeBron James last night.

The University of Louisville has always meant a lot to me. I’m encouraged by this moment and look forward to once again supporting the University’s mission and creating meaningful opportunities for Card Nation. https://t.co/oF3abImmB9

This feels like a tipping point in the history of war, the Agincourt of the 21st century.
