My thoughts are with the The Washington Post obituary team in this difficult time as they fiercely debate whether to call Ebrahim Raisi an “austere religious scholar”, a “patriotic anti-Zionist leader” or a “zealous anti-corruption crusader”.

JUST IN: Bret Baier announces Fox News has proposed a vice-presidential debate in August at Virginia State University, and the Trump campaign has accepted.

Actually, it was the Quarterback Club, but well deserved nonetheless.

The concept behind executive privilege is that a president must be able to receive confidential advice. How that applies to the audio of a special counsel interview whose transcript has been released is a mystery.

Oh please. You can’t make a difference if you’re not on the playing field. And maybe take the “Slava Ukraini” out of your bio because you did nothing to help get Ukraine aid passed.

If you're a Republican in a blue state, this is how you do it

A week after fact-checkers corrected Biden’s claim to CNN that inflation was at 9% when he became president, the president repeats it to Yahoo Finance
“It was at 9% when I came in”

It was 1.4%

New: Trump faces troubles but Biden campaign is dead in the water. Six months ago, poll showed Trump leading Biden in 5 of 6 key states. Dems freaked out. Now, same poll, same states shows race hasn't moved an inch. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/300292…

Classic example of an elite who doesn't get it. The NASDAQ, the DOW, the unemployment rate, etc, are all abstract numbers to most folks while the price of food, gas, & housing are very real numbers they deal with everyday. It's not a 'marketing problem.'

For a president who brags that fighting inflation is his top domestic priority, it seems like every economic policy - from runaway spending to student loan bailouts to tariffs to Buy America to housing subsidies to ethanol - is inflationary. Some other priority always tops it.

He just risked his job and political career to pass aid to Ukraine and literally saved a country. You weren’t there to fight for Ukraine because you blew up your political career and now you heckle him from the sidelines.

Border numbers remaining remarkably low (compared to prior Biden years) so far in May.

Per CBP sources, only 4,900+ migrant encounters yesterday, 3,200+ of which were Border Patrol arrests of illegal crossers.

Still, BP released 2,000+ into US w/ court dates yesterday.

WATCH: Fox’s Brit Hume on new polls showing Trump with a big lead: “It’s not quite fair to say it’s Trump’s race to lose, but it’s getting there.”

Larry Kudlow tells Bret Baier on the economy: “Consumer confidence plunging and inflation fears rising… this bodes very poorly for

Wow. The Times of London devotes its lead editorial to the pernicious influence of the Global Disinformation Index, saying 'it has helped to stymie valuable and independent-minded journalism on the basis of little more than ideological prejudice.' 🔥
