IT'S ALL THEATRE - BAD THEATRE Kamala Harris needs a new director.

In siding with state officials who had asked the court to lift a block on the law, the justices were split, with a majority of the conservative justices voting to enforce the ban over the objections of the three liberal justices. The justices also specified that their decision would remain in place until the appeals process had ended.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/15/us/politics/supreme-court-idaho-transgender.html 5:50- What's the best fast-food chain in America? 6:05pm- Elizabeth Goitein—Co-Director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice—writes “Buried in the House intelligence committee's Section 702 ‘reform' bill, which is schedule for a floor vote as soon as tomorrow, is the biggest expansion of surveillance inside the United States since the Patriot Act. Through a seemingly innocuous change to the definition of ‘electronic service communications provider,' the bill vastly expands the universe of U.S. businesses that can be conscripted to aid the government in conducting surveillance. Under current law, the government can compel companies that have direct access to communications, such as phone, email, and text messaging service providers, to assist in Section 702 surveillance by turning over the communications of Section 702 targets. Under Section 504 of the House intelligence committee's bill, any entity that has access to *equipment* on which communications may be transmitted or stored, such as an ordinary router, is fair game. What does that mean in practice? It's simple…Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, and other places that offer wifi to their customers could be forced to serve as surrogate spies. They could be required to configure their systems to ensure that they can provide the government access to entire streams of communications.” You can read her full statement on X: https://twitter.com/LizaGoitein/status/1734249938333167889 6:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC, Rep.

Would you be shocked to hear that the study showed that the more emphasis put on DEI the worse the results were for black and Hispanic students?

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal and Jim Lakely — with SPECIAL GUEST Christian Toto — present episode 377 of the In The Tank Podcast. In what is becoming an annual tradition, the In the Tank crew end the year talking about the state of pop culture with veteran movie reviewer and culture writer Christian Toto, proprietor of the HollywoodInToto.com website.We'll discuss what is looking like a rough patch (and maybe much worse) for the big streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc.), what that means for the future of Hollywood, and if the “get woke, go broke” maxim is holding or getting even worse. We'll also discuss the state of the modern Hollywood blockbuster (with Avatar 2, which Donny just saw, being a test case), and Christian will tell us the best movies and streaming shows he saw this year and recommends to our audience.

One is a figure of speech, but sadly the Incredible Husk we're pretending is president is deadly serious. Why is Biden seemingly goading Russia into nuclear conflict? Meanwhile Kanye West appears with Tucker Carlson and drops some major truth nukes you have to hear. Christian Toto from HollywoodInToto.com discusses that interview as well as Fauci's "comedy" tour and the bizarre settlement reached by Alec Baldwin and the family of the woman he killed. Plus children's hospitals are now claiming - just like school boards before them - they're feeling threatened by the public. Stigall explains why.
