HOLLYWOOD FOR UGLY PEOPLE: Op-ed: Let’s talk about TMZ turning its sights on DC politicians, and why that’s a good thing.
To be fair, they’ve been there before, sans the traditional Hollywood ending: Ex-DEA public affairs chief pleads guilty to brazen scam. “A former head of public affairs for the Drug Enforcement Administration who later worked as a producer for TMZ has admitted to a fraud scheme that involved posing as an undercover CIA operative in order to swindle government contractors out of over $4 million. Details of the complex scam carried out by Garrison Courtney, 44, became public Thursday morning as he pleaded guilty to a felony wire fraud charge in Alexandria, Va., before U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady.”

YOU KNOW, I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THIS MYSELF: Why is a pizza named after a German flying ace? No one’s making Field Marshal Rommel Pastry Pockets.

INSIDE EVERY “PROGRESSIVE” IS A TOTALITARIAN SCREAMING TO GET OUT:
This is such a perfect example of how Trump broke the brains of so many on the Left. In the name of opposing "totalitarianism" and "defending democracy," DeNiro thinks there should be a body of elites who bar people from running for office, including someone who went on to win… https://t.co/H2eKWF5rv1

NEW CIVILITY WATCH: ‘F*ck Him To His Face:’ Democrat Lawmaker Deletes Unhinged Late-Night Post About Trump.
Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) deleted a profane X post about President Donald Trump after it drew backlash online.
Lee made the comment early Wednesday in response to reports that Trump planned to attend Supreme Court oral arguments in a high-stakes birthright citizenship case.
“So f*cking f*cked up. I’ll pray they f*ck him to his face,” Lee wrote at around 1 a.m. Eastern Time Wednesday in the replies to an Associated Press story about the visit. “Sorry, I say f*ck a lot these days.”
The post was later deleted, but she appeared to defend herself in a subsequent post on Wednesday morning.
“Clearly my language touched a nerve — my nerve was touched by the attacks on our Constitution and its separation of powers. I took an oath to protect and defend it,” Lee wrote.
The posts were both made from her personal account, where the banner touts a claim that she is “America’s #1 Most Bipartisan Member of Congress.”

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Joseph Goebbels – PhD in linguistics
Joseph Mengele – PhD and medical degree
Kim Jong Un – Doctorate in economics
Bashar Assad – Ophthalmologist
So no, being educated does not stop anyone from being a bloodthirsty murderous tyrant like the butchers of the regime in Iran https://t.co/Ye1AfmeIZ3

GOOGLE: Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear.
Google’s introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration.
Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. This new timeline reflects migration needs for the PQC era in light of progress on quantum computing hardware development, quantum error correction, and quantum factoring resource estimates.
As a pioneer in both quantum and PQC, it’s our responsibility to lead by example and share an ambitious timeline. By doing this, we hope to provide the clarity and urgency needed to accelerate digital transitions not only for Google, but also across the industry.
Quantum computers will pose a significant threat to current cryptographic standards, and specifically to encryption and digital signatures. The threat to encryption is relevant today with store-now-decrypt-later attacks, while digital signatures are a future threat that require the transition to PQC prior to a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC). That’s why we’ve adjusted our threat model to prioritize PQC migration for authentication services — an important component of online security and digital signature migrations.
On a long enough timeline, everything gets hacked.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE: BBB warns of surge in sophisticated tax scams ahead of April 15 deadline. “Tax scammers are using AI to be even more convincing, realistic and effective… In just a few minutes, a phony website or scam email can wipe out your bank account. Fraudsters are hoping people will be so rushed to file their taxes on time that they will disregard key red flags. Ignoring these is dangerous to you and your family.”
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Supergirl Adopts Insane ‘Lady Ghostbusters’ PR Push.
The finished film even included a scene where the Lady Ghostbusters deal with online trolls.
Perhaps the key players realized they had a turkey on their hands, and it was time to do some creative marketing to deflect that sad truth? Or, they figured the Victimhood Card would rally progressives to movie theaters nationwide.
Are you sure about that?
The film dramatically underperformed. Sony later re-rebooted the franchise with modest success.
The “Supergirl” rollout feels very similar. But this isn’t 2016. Movie fans smell this desperation a mile away, and it’s already building bad buzz on the project.
…and the audience just left the building. Gotta get your stars to stop talking like this. https://t.co/EH4lGxVVz5

This film exists in Superman’s corner of the DC universe, but Alcock’s strategy sounds awfully reminiscent of a line spoken Batman’s nemesis Bane at the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises: “Crashing the plane — with no survivors!!!”

“Two years ago no one would have even imagined this issue would be before the Supreme Court. But Pres. Trump FORCED it there.”
Turns out, you can just do things.
BUT WILL THEY LISTEN? Europe Needs to Hear This Harsh Truth. “The self-styled sophisticates in Brussels and Europe’s capitals remain remarkably provincial in their outlook, and that’s why today we will speak some harsh truths to our friends in Europe — not because the truth is harsh, but because they believe that we naive Americans don’t recognize it.”
ANALYSIS: TRUE. Republicans Would Rather Cede Power To Democrats Than Their Own Voters.
While the SAVE America Act continues to languish, the Department of Homeland Security (including ICE and Border Patrol) remains unfunded, and dozens of Trump nominees await confirmation, Senate Majority Leader John Thune did what any typical Republican would do. He sent the upper chamber home on a two-week vacation.
The entirely predictable scenario came about after Senate Republicans agreed with Democrats to pass a DHS package devoid of ICE and Border Patrol funding in the early hours of Friday morning. The GOP maintained that the latter two agencies would be funded via reconciliation to overcome Democrats’ procedural blockade.
To their credit, House Republicans rejected that swampy proposal. The lower chamber instead passed a short-term continuing resolution (CR) that temporarily funds DHS — including ICE and CBP.
But rather than force senators to stay in session to consider that measure, other proposals, or debate the SAVE America Act (that is, actually put up a fight), Thune sent everybody home.
It would be far too kind to say that Thune has been a disappointment.
