“‘I don’t mind paying $15 a gallon, cause I drive a Tesla’ is a joke, until you realize that it really defines the disconnect between the mentality of celebrities and the people who have to drive to work everyday in a car that costs less than $50k,” one Twitter user wrote."
"Stephen Colbert was roasted on social media for saying he would be willing to pay more for gas because he can afford an all-electric Tesla.
"The CBS “Late Show” host gave a monologue on Monday in which he urged Americans to endure higher pas prices as energy costs soar due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
" 'Since the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed,” Colbert said on his show.
“ 'Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high of over $4 per gallon. Okay, that stings, but a clear conscience is worth a buck or two,” said Colbert, whose contract with CBS pays him an annual salary of $15 million per year.
“ 'I’m willing to pay. I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla.”
"The comedian then cracked a joke about the US refusing to buy Russian oil and instead turning to another source." . . .
The Daily Signal"In this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”, Hanson discusses the contentious detention and deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student with close ties to Columbia University Apartheid Divest, an anti-Israel student group that was thrust into the national spotlight when pro-Hamas student protesters occupied several academic buildings on Columbia’s campus last spring.
"Hanson explores the balance between free speech rights and national security concerns, examining Khalil's support for vandalism, harassment, and groups labeled as terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.
"It wasn't what he said, but it was what he did. And he now gets his wish. He can go back to the Middle East and be a strong advocate for Hamas, in closer proximity to it."

Revolver News "Some might see this clip of Obama talking about his own mini version of “DOGE” and think, Wow, AI has gotten really good. But this isn’t AI—it’s real.
"Back in 2011, Barack Obama wanted to launch his own DOGE-style program to cut out needless waste. And who did he put in charge of it? None other than Joe Biden—because apparently, nothing says fiscal responsibility like handing the keys to one of DC’s biggest crooks. Obama called it The Campaign to Cut Waste, and he reminded the American people that “nobody messes with Joe.”
"White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields criticized Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters on Fox Business Friday, suggesting that her retirement would be a good thing for the U.S. Capitol.
"During the Democrats’ annual issues retreat in Northern Virginia Friday, Waters accused President Donald Trump of trying to incite violence and start a civil war through disruptive policies like imposing tariffs, firing federal employees, and empowering Elon Musk to dismantle government services. In an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Fields responded and said Waters is “not a credible voice” and recounted her past calls for confrontational protests against Republicans.
“Maxine Waters is another good reason why we need term limits. This is a woman that entered Congress before I was even born. At 86 years old, she is still spewing the same crazy stuff that she spewed over 30 years ago,” Fields told host Elizabeth MacDonald. “Maxine Waters is not a credible voice.”
"Fields continued by referencing Waters’ past remarks encouraging confrontations with Republicans." . . .
“These people are engaging in violence, and they’re engaging in illegal protests that should not be tolerated. When you become a threat to society in the name of protesting, you are now a criminal, and you will be taken care of under this Department of Justice.”
Kelly announced he’s ditching his Tesla after Musk called him a “traitor” on social media for visiting Ukraine last weekend to see how Ukrainians were responding to Trump’s decisions to halt military aid and intelligence sharing to support its war against Russia.
"Later in the day, during an interview on Fox Business Network, Musk claimed that the attack’s IP addresses had been traced to the “Ukraine area.” However, he did not provide further details or evidence to support this claim.
"Meanwhile, cybersecurity experts have disputed Musk’s claim, warning that IP addresses alone do not confirm the origin of an attack.
"Security researcher Kevin Beaumont noted onBlueskythat the attack was carried out using a variant of the Mirai botnet, which is made up of compromised cameras and other connected devices.
"According to Beaumont, the attack involved IPs from around the world, not just Ukraine. He also said that the perpetrators could be “advanced persistent teenagers,” jesting that the attack could have been carried out by skilled but mischievous hackers rather than a nation-state.

“It’s funny – many Iranian women have fallen in love with Israeli soldiers because they are so handsome. They hoped that Israel would attack Iran,” she said.

“They live there in homes worth millions of dollars,” one Iranian could be heard saying in the videos published by Channel 12 on Saturday. “We are only allowed to pass by, but we will never be able to become tenants.”
"A 44-year-old Iranian named Ali noted that the regime gives money to Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraq, Afghanistan – “everyone in the world gets their share from Iran.”
“Why should we live in such extreme poverty? Why should I be unemployed now? Why am I not married? Why shouldn’t I have a wife and children?” he said.
'“They constantly say ‘Death to America, Death to England’ from all directions, while their children have American, British, and Canadian passports. People are angry at them and troubled by this,” Ali added.

"WORLD — Liberals across the world have defeated Naziism by painting swastikas on everything and setting fire to immigrant-owned storefronts.
"With hope seemingly lost after Nazis seized America and threatened to take over the globe, progressives courageously fought back by committing widespread arson against immigrant businesses and spray-painting Nazi symbols on cars and buildings.
"We did it! We beat the Nazis," shouted activist Jean LePenne, lighting another car dealership on fire. "It took us painting thousands of swastikas on things, including on our own bodies, but we did it. I literally had to get several swastikas tattooed on my face, but it was all worth it to defeat Hitler's second coming."
"With the inexorable rise of the Fourth Reich seeming destined to take over the world, liberals began to turn the tide against Nazis by goose stepping through the streets, covering themselves in swastikas, and shouting "Heil Hitler." The Nazis were left severely weakened as progressives paraded large floats through the streets which displayed messages such as "Death To The President" and "Time For Violence." Leftists then began unleashing violent assaults against immigrant-owned businesses, defeating Naziism once and for all.
"At publishing time, liberals had celebrated their victory over the Nazis by burning all the opposition leaders in effigy along with all of their books."
“ 'It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool,” goes the amusing saying, “than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” Despite this well known warning, there nonetheless is a show that specializes in removing such doubt—it’s called The View."
Daily Wire Whoopi Goldberg tells Dylan Mulvaney that people who oppose men in women's sports don't know anything about women's or trans people's bodies:"You're assuming that the women are weak and just can't do anything."Or maybe we're just aware of biological reality 🫠 pic.twitter.com/pkGLS7OR6I
. . . A case in point is a recent episode in which co-host Caryn Johnson (aka Whoopi Goldberg) essentially claimed that people opposed to having female-identifying men in women’s sports are ignorant. She further defended the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda with the now quite stale argument that “God doesn’t make mistakes.”
"Now, while I don’t blame God, it could occur to one that if mistakes didn’t somehow manifest themselves in the human population, how could you explain Whoopi’s reasoning ability?
"Moreover, Goldberg’s theory does not support her MUSS agenda but refutes it. For if all is ordained by God and is thus without flaw, then no one could possibly “be born in the wrong body,” right? (Not to mention that babies afflicted with spina bifida must not actually exist. Well, darn it, the fake news sure fooled me there!)
"Anyway, Goldberg made her comments Monday while interviewing guest Dylan Mulvaney, the MUSS “influencer” best known for being the vehicle through which Bud Light’s brand was destroyed two years ago. Introducing the topic of MUSS men in women’s sports by registering shock that California governor Gavin Newsom conveniently switched positions on this issue and admitted that such participation was “unfair,” Goldberg stated:
So, when you come in and you say, these are men competing against women, you’re assuming that the women are weak and just can’t do anything. Have you seen female athletes?! [Goldberg asked this with the implication that at issue are Amazons.] They know what they’re doing, so I’m not sure what’s going on or why this is an issue.
"Of course, it completely eluded Goldberg, and apparently everyone else on the low-IQ View panel, that she had completely undermined her own argument. Because if the female athletes “know what they’re doing,” Whoopi should listen to them." . . .
"Mahmoud Khalil acted as a “negotiator” for the activists. The school lacked any power to change the course of the war, and the activists lacked anything tangible, beyond an end to their shutdown of much of the campus, to give to Columbia, so why Khalil negotiated and Columbia humored him still perplexes."
. . ."The activists who occupied the lobby of Trump Tower on Thursday demonstrated that the issue still isn’t the issue.
"Ignoring the law led to the arrest of their hero, Mahmoud Khalil. The mob responded to this by again ignoring the law.
"At Columbia University, activists transformed campus green space into a campground and took over Hamilton Hall. On several occasions, the New York City police, at the request of the Columbia University administration, arrested activists and dismantled the tents of the squatters. The protest of Columbia, a non sequitur given the lack of any real connection between the university and the Hamas–Israel war, disrupted the institution’s purpose to such a degree that it called off final examinations for the spring 2024 semester.
"Mahmoud Khalil acted as a “negotiator” for the activists. The school lacked any power to change the course of the war, and the activists lacked anything tangible, beyond an end to their shutdown of much of the campus, to give to Columbia, so why Khalil negotiated and Columbia humored him still perplexes.
"As former Columbia University student Irie Sentner wrote at Politico, “The student group behind the encampment — Columbia University Apartheid Divest, or CUAD — had two main demands: that Columbia cut all its ties to Israel, including divesting and halting plans to build a ‘global center’ in Tel Aviv, and that the protesters themselves receive amnesty for their actions.”
"The issue was not the issue. The group really just wished to cause a ruckus.
"This week, the same crowd again caused a ruckus. They violated private property rights by invading Trump Tower, a place where hundreds of people live. They impeded movement on Fifth Avenue, one of the busiest thoroughfares in the United States." . . .
And for the Trump administration, it’s not really about Khalil involving himself in a prolonged protest that involved all sorts of illegalities. The troubling aspect of the protests partly led by Khalil, a Palestinian born in Syria holding Algerian citizenship, involves the perverse idea underlying them: the righteousness of the barbarous Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, which included kidnapping civilians, raping women, and slaughtering defenseless young people at a music festival. One so outside of civilization as to endorse all that does not belong within our civilization.
Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, launched their video podcast on Monday, March 10, and uploaded their first two episodes on Wednesday to kickstart their new media venture.
However, the two episodes garnered 47,000 and 15,000 views within their first 24 hours on the platform. In comparison, the first episode of California Governor Gavin Newsom's new podcast drew in over 743,000 views on YouTube and Joe Rogan's show pulls anywhere from 500,000 to 56 million viewers and listeners an episode.
Interestingly, the former first lady previously admitted that she “couldn’t stand” her husband for a decade while their children were growing up, as Trending Politics reported.
"Former First LadyMichelle Obamahas begun a new podcast alongside her brother, Craig Robinson.
"Obama, a prominent figure int he political world and elsewhere, was believed to have a successful podcast. However, it appears that the former first lady has yet to succeed doing podcasts." . . .
. . ."Conservative commentator Alex Bruesewitz pointed out that despite the mainstream media “hyping up” the former first lady’s show, it still managed to perform poorly.
" 'Michelle Obama debuted her new podcast a couple of days ago, with the full weight of the mainstream media machine hyping it up across every major outlet and network—free promotion that most creators could only dream of,” he said." . . .
Michelle Obama’s first couple podcast episodes absolutely flopped not even getting a combined 20,000 views in the 15 hours after posting.
The comments filled with people saying “nobody asked for this.”
