“Cringe” somehow doesn’t suffice here. This is supra-cringe, trans-cringe.
Biden’s handlers invited the Air Force football team to congratulate them on their past season and rolled their charge out to meet them for a brief photo op.
Wow.

Good Riddance to Don Lemon
Cnn, you may have heard, abruptly fired longtime host Don Lemon last week. He announced his departure in a hastily composed note on social media.
“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN,” Lemon said in a statement shared on Twitter. “I am stunned.”
Many in U.K. Greet King Charles’s Coronation With a ‘Take It or Leave It’ Shrug
When King Charles III is crowned on Saturday, he will undergo a ritual so rare in modern British history that it last occurred 70 years ago, roughly the wait between sightings of Halley’s comet. And yet the coronation has yet to capture the imagination of a Britain preoccupied by other concerns.
Images of the new king — in chocolate, in Legos and in wax — are popping up in bakeries, toy stores and at Madame Tussauds wax museum. Ancient relics of coronation, like the Scottish stone of destiny, are being delivered to Westminster Abbey for the ceremony. Charles and his queen consort, Camilla, are rehearsing every step of the service in a specially staged room at Buckingham Palace.
8 Rapes Per Day Recorded in Germany’s Most Populous State in 2022
While the number of reported rapes in North Rhine-Westphalia—Germany’s most populous city—increased 25% in 2022 compared to the previous year, the number of rapes involving more than one perpetrator jumped by 43%.
In response to an information request by the national-conservative Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, data released by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia revealed that 2,949 rapes were reported last year, which corresponds to eight rapes per day and represents an increase of more than 25% compared to the previous year.
The number of rapes involving more than one perpetrator—sometimes referred to as ‘gang rapes’—also rose dramatically across North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, in 2022, climbing from 172 in 2021 to 246 in 2022, a year-over-year increase of 43%, the news outlet RTL Deutschland reports.
Canadians adopting assisted death at 22 times the rate of Americans
Canadians are far more likely to end their lives by physician-assisted suicide than are Americans in the states where it’s legal.
And British Columbians could lead the world in streaming to this form of death.
Barbara Kay: Woke Dylan Mulvaney campaign was destined to be a Bud Light failure
Bud Light’s partnership with TikTok celebrity influencer Dylan Mulvaney may go down in history as the most devastating own goal in marketing history.
Partnering with celebrity influencers was nothing new for Budweiser. So their VP of Marketing, Alissa Heinerscheid reckoned it could work for a beer with declining sales that, in her view, required a less “fratty” image. Since Bud Light had already proven itself supportive of LGBT causes, Heinerscheid had no reason to believe that the choice to partner with the “365 days of becoming a girl” celebrity would backfire. But, on April 1, when Mulvaney posted a photo of a custom-designed gift from Heinerscheid: a can of Bud Light with Mulvaney’s face on it, Budweiser’s troubles began. Heinerscheid is now on indefinite leave, a second other senior executive would soon follow.

GUNTER: PSAC workers still cashing in during pantomime
It is outrageous, absolutely and utterly outrageous that PSAC workers are still being paid by the federal government while they are on strike.
A strike is the very definition of not working. In order to put pressure on the employers, workers withhold their services. And people who are not doing their jobs are not supposed to get paid.
WTF?

Ukraine isn’t ready for its big offensive, but it has no choice
Ukraine’s long-anticipated counter-offensive is proving irresistible to the social media armchair warriors, despite Kyiv’s appeals for them to stop treating the war like a spectator sport. However, their enthusiastic discussion of alternative battle plans belies the degree to which, as a Ukrainian official admitted, “in some ways we all have much less freedom of manoeuvre” than might be assumed.
Publicly the Ukrainians are bullish. Oleksii Reznikov, the defence minister, promised last week that the big push was imminent. “As soon as there is God’s will, the weather and a decision by commanders, we will do it,” he said.

Biden Administration Goes After Campus Religious Groups
Do religious groups on public campuses have the right to choose leaders who adhere to their beliefs and behavioral tenets? Should religious campus groups at public institutions enjoy the same rights and accommodations that benefit their secular counterparts?
Common sense and the U.S. Constitution say yes. The Biden administration says no.
Iran and Its Culture War
It was supposed to be a routine remake of scores of reportages offered by the official TV each year. The formula used is simple: A concert hall filled with a handpicked audience of carefully screened audience chanting “God is Great, Hail to Supreme Leader!” Then the “Supreme Leader” enters, accompanied by his military and clerical entourage, to sit on high chair on an elevated platform facing the audience below from a distance of 10 meters.
As the cameras roll, the “Supreme Leader” repeats his shop-worn monologue about humbling the American “Great Satan” and wiping the “Zionist entity” from the face of the earth. He invites the young audience to prepare for martyrdom as a short-cut to a place in heaven in the next world. At the end of the ceremony, everyone shouts “Hail to the Chief” while the “Supreme Leader” exits the stage wearing a triumphal smile.
Vegan with axe to grind leaves barrage of malicious ‘fake reviews’
It all started with a picture of a roast chicken.
Chef Joss Beechim-Horton was baffled by some of the reaction, and so decided to try to work out why one man was repeatedly criticising his food on social media.
But questioning the man, who turned out to be a vegan activist, only led to a tirade about climate change and one-star reviews that threatened to damage the reputation of his rural pub.
