It’s good to see that, as summer break approaches, the situation on our nation’s college campuses in blue cities maintains the same grim status quo as we’ve come to expect over the past few months.
This time, it’s neither students chanting “death to America” or demanding the abolition of Israel, nor is it the usual malaise associated with elevated crime in Democrat-run metropolises — homelessness, “bail reform,” defunding the police or anything like that. Instead, it’s a kind of meeting of the two; call it a new form of intersectionality.
At Howard University in Washington, D.C., the graduation ceremony for students in the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences was canceled during the keynote speech on Thursday night as angry relatives who were unable to make it into the packed Cramton Auditorium began demanding entry.

The credibility of Alvin Bragg’s star witness Michael Cohen is in shreds ahead of his testimony in the Manhattan district attorney’s “hush money” trial against President Donald Trump.
Pundits and legal gurus across the political spectrum have openly questioned Cohen’s credibility as a witness.
Many have pointed to the wisdom of Cohen’s brazen social media presence, which includes anti-Trump video rants.

The rise in misleading videos compounds what researchers see as a worsening state of health care
Washington:
US wellness influencers are increasingly targeting birth control pills, pushing their followers to abandon the contraceptives with false claims about infertility and low libido that researchers say leave them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies.
The explosion of misinformation on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram comes as reproductive rights take center stage in the looming presidential election, in a country where abortion is banned or restricted in nearly half the states.
Many influencers — who are not licensed medical specialists — are part of what appears to be a cottage industry of self-proclaimed health gurus monetizing misinformation as they hawk “healing” oils and fertility-tracking services.

On May 7, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial after explosive information dropped late Friday afternoon. Several new pieces of evidence indicate it’s even possible federal employees planted classified documents to frame Trump…
Recent court disclosures give two indications that federal employees could have planted the classified documents used to mire Trump and several aides into a sprawling investigation and an election-interfering court case. The first is the explosive evidence revealed Friday: For 11 months, the special counsel’s office hid that it misplaced some — we don’t know how many or which — of the same allegedly classified documents it claims Trump criminally possessed at Mar-a-Lago….
The filing also says the FBI “generally” inserted the “handwritten sheets,” indicating there were exceptions to its use of placeholders to indicate the allegedly original locations of allegedly classified documents Trump allegedly criminally possessed. In a footnote, the special counsel writes that this situation is “inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court.” In other words, the special counsel has been lying to the court, the public, and the Trump legal team this whole time about the evidence grounding its entire case.
A new Axios poll reveals American college students don’t support the cause that’s causing them to lose class time and even miss major events, including graduation ceremonies; That cause is the Palestinian cause in its war against Israel, the Gaza war.
The poll reveals only 13 percent of college students support the Palestinian cause, and only 11 percent rate it as a top issue in this year’s national, state, and local elections.

Ground-based radar systems, especially the emerging ngRADAR, are crucial in defending Earth against asteroid impacts and advancing our understanding of the Solar System through high-resolution imaging and robust, scalable technologies.
How can humans protect Earth from “devastating asteroid and comet impacts?” According to the National Academies and their 2023-2032 Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey, ground based astronomical radar systems will have a “unique role” to play in planetary defense.
There is currently only one system in the world concentrating on these efforts, NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar, part of the Deep Space Network (DSN). However, a new instrument concept from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) called the next generation RADAR (ngRADAR) system will use the National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and other current and future facilities to expand on these capabilities.

Ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo disclosed he is taking the pharmaceutical drug Ivermectin to treat his “long Covid” diagnosis, despite disparaging others who promoted the drug in 2020, stating they “need to be shamed.”
Cuomo, who now works for NewsNation, issued the disclosure during an appearance on Patrick Bet-David’s podcast “PBD.”
While the anchor stated that he stands by his earlier remarks on alternative Covid regimens that differed from the vaccine, he asserted that the US government’s guidance on Ivermectin “was wrong” and that he offered his initial analysis based on alleged facts provided by the government at that time.
“My doctors say I have ‘Long Covid,” he said, later adding that “I’m doing all the protocols”
“I do not fault myself for telling people at the time what the government was giving us as best practices…I am going to tell you something else that is going to get you a lot of hits. I am taking a regular dose, whatever, of Ivermectin,” said Cuomo.

He did it again. If there is one person from whom any pro-Hamas supporter should run regarding guest spots on any show, it’s Mosab Yousef. He’s the son of Hassan Yousef, the co-founder of Hamas. Mosab defected to Israel in 1997 and worked for Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, for ten years. He’s a former militant with exceptional insight into the radical mind of the propaganda Hamas disseminates daily.
So, when he hears the chants of ‘intifada,’ ‘free Palestine,’ and other pro-Hamas talking points, he lays waste to them with ease. On Piers Morgan’s show, Yousef took a blowtorch to Abby Martin’s pro-Hamas nonsense, shutting her down completely, even claiming that she doesn’t have the credibility to be a journalist if she’s going to peddle terrorist talking points.
Yousef laid it all out: he fought against Hamas, he saved lives, and he’s not going to take claims that Israel is committing genocide, a Hamas talking point, without redirecting some fire. After calling her a low-grade journalist and dismissing the now-debunked claims of genocide, Yousef went a step further that would indeed trigger the pro-terrorist college kids right now: there’s no such thing as Palestine.

Tokyo — More than 100,000 packets of sliced bread have been recalled in Japan after parts of a black rat’s body were discovered inside two of them, the manufacturer said Wednesday. Food recalls are rare in Japan, a country with famously high standards of sanitation, and Pasco Shikishima Corporation said it was investigating how the rodent remains had crept in to its products.
The company said it was so far unaware of anyone falling sick after eating its processed white “chojuku” bread, long a staple of Japanese breakfast tables.
Around 104,000 packs of the bread have been recalled in mainland Japan, from Tokyo to the northern Aomori region.

José Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, allegedly encountered nursing student Laken Riley as she jogged on a trail on the campus of the University of Georgia on Feb. 22. Police say that Ibarra savagely beat and murdered Riley in an incident that shocked the UGA community.
WSB Radio reports that court documents “charge Ibarra with asphyxiating Riley, along with ‘seriously disfiguring her head by striking her head multiple times with a rock.’” He faces a litany of charges, including “malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call, and concealing the death of another.”
Prosecutors have also indicted Ibarra for another crime that he allegedly committed the same day, albeit one that pales in comparison to Riley’s murder.
“According to new documents filed Tuesday, Ibarra is now also charged with spying on a University of Georgia staff member,” WSB reports. “Documents say he went to an apartment at University Village Housing Building ‘S’ and peeped through the woman’s window on the same day he is accused of killing Riley.”

Myanmar’s junta on Wednesday denied a request by former Cambodian leader Hun Sen for talks with democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained since a 2021 coup.
Suu Kyi has largely been hidden from view since the military detained her as they seized power in a putsch that has plunged the country into turmoil.
The junta has rebuffed numerous requests by foreign leaders and diplomats to meet the Nobel laureate, 78, who has reportedly suffered health problems during more than three years in detention.
On Tuesday Hun Sen, who ruled Cambodia for nearly four decades before stepping down last year, said he had requested a meeting with Suu Kyi during video talks with junta chief Min Aung Hlaing.
But the junta had “no reason to facilitate it at this moment,” junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun said in an audio message released by the military’s information team.

Excerpt from insidethemagic.netDisneyland Resort fans are increasingly concerned about safety at the Southern California theme parks after multiple guests revealed that it’s possible to sneak guns and other deadly weapons past the security checkpoint.
Before entering Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney, guests must submit to search by security cast members. This can include walking through metal detectors, bag checks, and other preventative measures that aim to protect Disneyland Resort guests.
Guests overwhelmingly support security screening at the Disney parks, particularly in the wake of the Pulse shooting in Orlando. The perpetrator previously identified Walt Disney World Resort as a target but chose the nightclub after police “spooked” him at the Central Florida Disney park.

An emerging complaint the corporate media have against the nationwide—and now international—peace encampments is that many student protesters won’t speak to them. The problem, pundits and reporters say, is that these encampments have designated media spokespeople, and other protesters often keep their mouths shut to the press.
Conservative pundit Peggy Noonan (Wall Street Journal, 5/2/24) said of her trip to the Columbia University encampment:
I was at Columbia hours before the police came in and liberated Hamilton Hall from its occupiers. Unlike protesters of the past, who were usually eager to share with others what they thought and why, these demonstrators would generally not speak or make eye contact with members of the press, or, as they say, “corporate media.”
I was on a bench taking notes as a group of young women, all in sunglasses, masks and kaffiyehs, walked by. “Friends, please come say hello and tell me what you think,” I called. They marched past, not making eye contact, save one, a beautiful girl of about 20. “I’m not trained,” she said. Which is what they’re instructed to say to corporate-media representatives who will twist your words. “I’m barely trained, you’re safe,” I called, and she laughed and half-halted. But her friends gave her a look and she conformed.

ST. LOUIS — Beer sales in North America are still down for Anheuser-Busch InBev while its spirits brands are growing, the Belgium-based brewer shared with investors during its most recent earnings call Wednesday.
The first quarter report of 2024 comes over a year after A-B sent transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a can featuring her face, which she shared in a video, leading to public outcries by some conservatives for a boycott.
A-B revenue was down almost 9% in the U.S. and Canada, due to a volume decline of nearly 10%, A-B InBev CEO Michel Doukeris said Wednesday morning.
Yet, Doukeris called A-B’s beer sector in the U.S. resilient, with “beer volumes improving sequentially through the quarter and dollar sales continuing to grow versus last year.”

Wages for the typical U.S. worker have grown since the pandemic, but for many Americans those gains are being gobbled up by rising rent.
Rents have jumped 30.4% nationwide between 2019 and 2023 while wages during that same period only grew 20.2%, according to a recent analysis from online real estate brokers Zillow and StreetEasy. Gaps between wage growth and rent increases were widest in large cities, including Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Miami, Phoenix and Tampa. Other cities where renters are feeling the tightest pinch include Baltimore, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, New York and San Diego.
The cost of renting began its sharp climb during the pandemic, as demand roared due to Americans fleeing major urban centers and opting for more space away from neighbors in the suburbs and rural areas. Rent is still increasing, housing experts say, just at a much slower pace than in recent history…
“New multifamily buildings coming online have eased competitive pressure in many markets, but in New York City construction just simply can’t keep up with demand,” Lee said in a statement.
