“RULE OF LAW:” ‘Fully substantiated’: Report says Biden leaders pushed ‘gender’ rule on schools despite court order.

WE’VE LEARNED THIS MONTH THAT MUCH OF AMERICA IS PRETTY GREAT ALREADY:

We’re building frontier AI and catching reusable rockets while Europe is debating whether or not air conditioners are safe.

INTRODUCING THE LEFT’S NEXT WOULD-BE MARTYR: The Last Ride of Da’Quain Johnson. “De’Quain Johnson was 32 years old when he was fatally shot by police around 9:30 p.m. February 18 after a pursuit that began after police received a complaint that Johnson was carrying a firearm. He was riding a bicycle at the time, and your first thought might be, “Why is a grown man riding a bicycle on a February night in Michigan?” Probably his driver’s license had been revoked, although I have been unable to find his full criminal history, but my point is that an adult man riding around Grand Rapids on a bicycle that time of night in February — yeah, a police officer might take notice of that behavior. However, police had not randomly noticed De’Quain Johnson, but rather had specific information that he was armed.”

TOMMORROW’S GOP CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS TODAY: TX Dems Drop a Campaign Banger: ‘We’re All Trans, Gay, Vegan … and Going to Hell for James Talarico.’ “Benjamin Flores is running for Land Commissioner in Texas. He was asked to speak at a rally for James Talarico and he obliged. Things got really, really weird:”

One of the benefits of working on a campaign effort against Talarico is that they make all of our commercials for us. #txsen https://t.co/8uKSkR7ZXj

#JOURNALISM:

The WSJ says the relatively small number of Iranian hits on US facilities in the Gulf are 'devastating'.

"Iran shot more than 8,000 missiles and drones and only two hits resulted in U.S. fatalities,” said Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, which oversees…

THE MOST IMPORTANT FREE SPEECH FIGHT SINCE THE BIRTH OF THE INTERNET? That’s Nico Perrino’s case for why the coming battles over AI and social media will determine whether the First Amendment survives the digital age.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

"Abolish ICE," "Defund the Police," and "Free Palestine" aren't a working class agenda. They're the cries of an over credentialed gentrifying elite consumed with resentment and the belief that the taxpayer should fund their vanity degrees and podcasts. pic.twitter.com/oVDqB1PMhk

STEPHEN KRUISER: Sane People Aren’t Triggered by Elon Musk’s Wealth.

Their hatred isn’t distributed evenly among the super-rich, of course. No one in the Democratic Party is upset with George Soros, for example. We don’t hear many complaints about Bill Gates from them either. It’s more than Musk’s money that sends them spiraling though. They’re harboring a lot of resentment because Musk broke the stranglehold they had on the social media false narrative machine when he purchased Twitter. His work with DOGE at the beginning of President Trump’s current term was a direct attack on their god: the federal government.

And thus:

Homeless, yachtless Elon Musk, who actually builds rockets, EVs, and neural tech trying to benefit humanity, should apparently cough up $50 billion in taxes on unrealized gains.

Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs ($15B inherited), Nancy Walton ($20B inherited), and MacKenzie Scott… pic.twitter.com/Pr7nUDj2s7

UPDATE:

Everyone tells me that Elon Musk is a fascist because he could "solve world hunger" for a mere 3 billion dollars, but MacKenzie Bezos has burned through 26 billion dollars of her ex husband's money and accomplished absolutely nothing of note. https://t.co/taXQftcPC6

ANOTHER TRUMP OPPONENT PRIMARIED OUT: Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy is gone. “Shoot – the sitting US senator, who has been in office since 2015, couldn’t even manage to make it to the runoff. That’s how badly Louisiana voters wanted him gone. The best Cassidy could manage was a third-place finish, winding up four points behind the state’s current treasurer, John Fleming, claiming the Number Two spot. Politico called the vanquishing another victory on Trump’s ‘revenge tour.'”

BUTTIGIEG SEPARATED FROM CHILDREN AFTER BEING TARGETED BY FALSE CPS REPORT: “Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said he was briefly separated from his 4-year-old twins after an anonymous caller filed a false report with Child Protective Services concerning his family. Buttigieg wrote about the swatting-like incident in a lengthy Substack post on Friday, detailing his encounter with Michigan State Police.”

Amy Coney Barrett was swatted last month. Neither Pete Buttigieg nor Mark commented on it. The New York Times did not do a story on it.

I like Mark, but the truth is the only thing new about this story is that it happened to a Democrat. It’s ho-hum and commonplace for… https://t.co/zCD1t3pni9

LOL, NEWSGUARD: A Media Watchdog Released An AI ‘Fact-Checker.’ It Says There May Be 72 Genders. NewsGuard’s AI tool denied that biological sex is a binary and said affirmative action has ‘benefited’ white men.

RELIGION OF PEACE UPDATE:

I have been criticized, even from people on my side, for saying this is their goal. The problem is this is not my opinion. They admit it. How long are our leaders going to continue to ignore this imminent threat? https://t.co/PjxJRXnFdI
