Sirius XM podcast host and independent journalist Megyn Kelly blasted the people who were already attempting to politicize the weekend mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, that left 10 dead.
During Monday&#8217;s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the host described the timeline of events and expressed her sympathy for the victims and their families and friends – and she noted that her policy, like the policy adopted by The Daily Wire, was to avoid naming the suspects in <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/leftists-blames-tucker-carlson-for-buffalo-massacre-they-didnt-blame-maddow-in-scalise-shooting/">mass shootings</a> whenever possible in order to deny them the notoriety they sought.
&#8220;We will not be naming the shooter on this program, consistent with our policy of not naming mass shooters, who in part are out for infamy and we decline to help. He’s pleaded not guilty, but he also left behind a trove of information, including a 180-page manifesto filled with racist and antisemitic commentary,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The shooter was white. Detailing how and why he picked his target.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="&quot;It&#039;s OUTRAGEOUS!&quot; Megyn Kelly on the Gross Rush to Politicize Horrific Buffalo Mass Shooting" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h6zBywYv9ss?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Kelly then noted that a number had attempted to pin at least a portion of the blame for the shooting on her friend and former colleague, Fox News host Tucker Carlson. They argued that because he has addressed the topic of &#8220;white replacement theory&#8221; on his show, &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight,&#8221; he is in some way responsible for the alleged shooter&#8217;s focus on that.
&#8220;Some in the media had been quick to point fingers and even place blame on our friend and very popular Fox News host, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/05/15/buffalo-suspect-great-replacement-theory-conservative-media/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tucker Carlson</a>. It’s outrageous. It’s wrong, both factually and morally,&#8221; Kelly said.
&#8220;Why do we have to go to that place immediately on these stories. Why can’t we spend two f***ing minutes mourning the people who are dead and trying to understand that we have insane people in this country? We have lunatics. It’s a huge country!&#8221; she continued.
&#8220;We’re not going to be able to get rid of them all. It infuriates me. People have to inject their politics into everything. And this guy had a racist manifesto. There’s no question that doesn’t make it Tucker Carlson’s fault. Just stop it. Just stop it!&#8221; Kelly concluded.
Carlson addressed the idea on his show, arguing that Democrats were unable to enforce their will on the United States population and their solution was to open the border and simply &#8220;import&#8221; a new population.
&#8220;The Biden administration is subverting democracy, diluting the political power of American citizens by importing a brand-new population. That is exactly what’s happening,&#8221; he said <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/tucker-carlson-continues-pushing-replacement-theory-bidens-diluting-the-political-power-of-american-citizens-by-importing-a-brand-new-population/">last October</a>.

Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees fired back Sunday after the New York Post reported that he was leaving NBC &#8220;after just one season as a studio and game analyst.&#8221;
The Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/15/drew-brees-done-at-nbc-after-one-season-as-nfl-analyst/">cited sources</a> who said the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/drew-brees-announces-retirement/">Brees</a> was not the match the network had hoped for with regard to the &#8220;Football Night in America&#8221; studio show, and said that Brees might be considered for a move to another network.
But Brees made it clear that he hadn&#8217;t nailed anything down just yet, tweeting, &#8220;Despite speculation from [the] media about my future this fall, I’m currently undecided. I may work for NBC, I may play football again, I may focus on business and philanthropy, I may train for the pickleball tour, senior golf tour, coach my kids or all of the above. I’ll let you know.&#8221;

&mdash; Drew Brees (@drewbrees) <a href="https://twitter.com/drewbrees/status/1525989165824847873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
If Brees does actually return to the game, he could potentially take back some of the records he held when he retired — at the time, he was the all-time leader in passing touchdowns (571) and passing yards (80,358). Those records were broken during the 2021 season by Tampa Bay&#8217;s Tom Brady, who announced his retirement only to walk it back a short time later.
According to Fox News, the Saints have already tried to lure Brees out of retirement once: &#8220;He was mentioned as a possible replacement as the Saints quarterback when Jameis Winston went down with a torn ACL last season. The Saints reached out to Brees at the time last year, the <a href="https://www.nola.com/sports/jeff_duncan/article_7afe757a-64e9-11ec-9192-2b4e966ea67f.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Times-Picayune</a> reported. He would <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/saints-reached-out-drew-brees-miracle-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shut the idea down</a> in the middle of the season.&#8221;
Brees said that he reached out to Winston after his injury although he did not choose to come out of retirement. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t had a chance to speak with him, but I&#8217;ve reached out to him a few times, just to give him my support. And obviously hated to see him have that injury, especially I know how hard he&#8217;s worked to prepare himself to go play and lead that team. And he was doing such a great job, so yeah, I just feel for him,&#8221; he <a href="https://popculture.com/sports/news/drew-brees-reveals-misses-most-playing-nfl/">told Pop Culture</a> last November.
He did say that he does miss elements of the game, adding, &#8220;There&#8217;s elements I miss about playing. I miss the locker room, I miss the preparation, I miss game day, I miss the exciting wins and the two-minute drives and some of that stuff.&#8221;

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to struggle with her remarks, repeating the phrase &#8220;work together&#8221; five times in under 30 seconds while speaking at the US-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Nations) Special Summit in Washington, D.C.
Video of her comments from the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/05/12/fact-sheet-u-s-asean-special-summit-in-washington-dc/">summit</a> circulated in a tweet posted by the official U.S. State Department account, quickly prompting a number of responses.

Harris has often been criticized for giving rambling and sometimes nonsensical statements either as part of prepared remarks or in answer to questions.

&#8220;I think everyone here recognizes how extraordinary space is,&#8221; Harris said. &#8220;Whether it is satellites that orbit the earth, humans that land on the moon, or telescopes that peer into the furthest reaches of the universe, space is exciting! It spurs our imaginations. And it forces us to ask big questions.&#8221;

Actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard got the &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; treatment over the weekend, with Kate McKinnon parodying MSNBC&#8217;s Nicolle Wallace and delivering coverage of the &#8220;cuckoo&#8221; defamation trial.
The sketch began with McKinnon&#8217;s Wallace listing off several key stories that were going to be covered, from the January 6th subpoenas and the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/psaki-claims-white-house-is-on-top-of-baby-formula-shortage-but-hoarding-is-a-enormous-problem/">baby formula shortage</a> to the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/mitch-mcconnell-claims-we-all-agree-the-most-important-thing-going-on-in-the-world-right-now-is-the-war-in-ukraine/">ongoing war</a> between Ukraine and Russia.
&#8220;But we start of course with the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard cuckoo trial,&#8221; she began. &#8220;Look, I know it’s not the most pertinent story of the moment but with all the problems in the world, isn’t it nice to have a news story we can all collectively watch and say, ‘Ooh, glad it ain’t me’?&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Wallace&#8221; then cut to a clip from the defamation trial, zeroing in on questions regarding one of Depp&#8217;s claims — namely that Heard had left feces in his bed — and new video evidence showing several members of Depp&#8217;s household staff discovering the mess. The judge allowed the video to be admitted as evidence because it was &#8220;funny.&#8221;
&#8220;Okay, I think I’ve seen enough,&#8221; the judge concluded. &#8220;This trial has given me a lot to consider. One on hand, I believe Mr. Depp’s story, but on the other hand, your constant little smirk lets me know that this is not the first woman you’ve made so mad that she pooped in your bed.&#8221;
Critics panned the bit, however, arguing that at best it made light of a serious situation, and at worst it trivialized any abuse Heard might have experienced.
&#8220;This is f***ing weird. regardless if you support any of the two in this trial to any extent, it&#8217;s bizarre how one of the most publicised domestic abuses cases ever is being spun into a really s**t joke. this doesn&#8217;t help victims of abuse at all, and just makes it harder to discuss,&#8221; one YouTuber <a href="https://twitter.com/iNabber69/status/1525930146540269569">tweeted</a>.
&#8220;Imagine being forced to relive traumatic events, trying to find some sort of peace and justice and turning on the tv after a long, traumatic day and seeing this shit mocking the entire thing. The way this case is being turned into mainstream entertainment is disgusting,&#8221; another <a href="https://twitter.com/thatqueerkiwi/status/1525927077970489345">added</a>.

One account, @writtenbyHanna, also added, &#8220;A good time to remember that Lorne Michaels didn’t initially want to make any jokes in reference to Harvey Weinstein.&#8221;

A Pride Fest coming soon to Lake County, Illinois, will feature a number of activities for children — from arts and crafts and &#8220;affirming books&#8221; to a Drag Queen Story Time and even Drag Kids Dress-up.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/its-a-radical-philosophy-rooted-in-marxism-chris-rufo-returns-to-msnbc-for-debate-on-crt/">Christopher Rufo</a> shared a tweet about the upcoming event, saying, &#8220;The Illinois Department of Children &amp; Family Services is sponsoring a &#8216;PrideFest Kiddie Korner&#8217; featuring &#8216;drag queen story time,&#8217; &#8216;drag kids dress up,&#8217; and a &#8216;drag show&#8217; for children.&#8221;

Other featured events at the Pride Fest include a PG-rated drag show and a burlesque show, among others.
&#8220;This is a parody right?&#8221; one person asked in response to Rufo&#8217;s tweet.
Other critics accused the event organizers of &#8220;indoctrination&#8221; and of &#8220;grooming&#8221; children — and noted that they were approaching this event not just with the permission, but the active sponsorship of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

&#8220;This free, family-friendly outdoor festival will feature music and performances, food trucks, a beer and beverage tent, craft and artisan vendors, a resource fair, games and entertainment for children, multiple drag shows, a dance tent and more,&#8221; the Daily Herald reported. &#8220;This year&#8217;s Presenting Sponsors are ComEd &#8211; An Exelon Company, and Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).&#8221;
LGBTQ+ Center Lake County Executive Director Nikki Michele claimed that the need for such events was only growing as time went on, saying, &#8220;In a time when we are watching our human rights get rolled back at an unprecedented rate, it is vitally important that we counteract hatred with LOVE. Providing this safe and inclusive space for our LGBTQ+ family to celebrate our joy is more important than ever before.&#8221;

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said that while people routinely mock President Joe Biden for &#8220;losing his keys&#8221; or just appearing to be &#8220;lost&#8221; in general, the real problem is that he has &#8220;lost the sense of what America is.&#8221;
Gutfeld made the comment during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of the network&#8217;s popular afternoon panel show &#8220;The Five,&#8221; where he joined his co-hosts in responding to reports that the Biden administration was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/amid-nationwide-shortage-illegal-immigrants-get-baby-formula-first-lawmaker-claims/">sending pallets</a> of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/psaki-claims-white-house-is-on-top-of-baby-formula-shortage-but-hoarding-is-a-enormous-problem/">baby formula</a> to illegal immigrants at the southern border while American families were dealing with major shortages nationwide.
Judge Jeanine Pirro kicked off the segment by noting that her own daughter — who has a 10-month-old baby — had called her in to help with the search for formula, and she had gone to two stores only to find none on the shelves.
&#8220;Does [this] not add to the &#8216;America last&#8217; theme that is going on since Joe Biden became president?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;It is not America last, it is a specific number of Americans last. Permission to go off?&#8221; Gutfeld asked, and when he got the go ahead, he proceeded to unload both barrels.
&#8220;The government doesn’t like half of the people they’ve governed. Actually, it might even be higher,&#8221; Gutfeld began, arguing that the Democratic Party was the &#8220;party of the oppressed&#8221; and anyone who did not fit that description was a hindrance.
&#8220;Even if you are a mom with a baby, you are an oppressor. You reproduce, which harms the environment. You expand your carbon footprint. You didn’t terminate the child. There is no baby — no baby formula, they think is not a bad thing,&#8221; Gutfeld continued. &#8220;Jesse is right. If we had an engaged president who could see the priorities of the average American clearly instead of running cover for woke policies, whether it is canceling student debt, defunding the police, the medicalization of children, we would have beaten this thing or got a head start on this.&#8221;
&#8220;Instead, we make fun of him about losing his keys, whatever, losing his place, but he’s kind of lost the sense of what America is,&#8221; Gutfeld added. &#8220;He has forgotten that he is president of all of us. And he is the most slow to react president probably in U.S. history. &#8230; And when he is called out, he just starts yelling. It is a manufactured rage — I [don’t] know if he saw that tape yesterday, it is a manufactured rage. It is a man shouting at the clouds. And really having no idea what to do.&#8221;
Gutfeld concluded by saying that if kids went hungry because of the baby formula shortage, parents at school board meetings would be the least of the Democrats&#8217; worries.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that the baby formula shortage was in part the result of people &#8220;hoarding&#8221; the available supply and then selling it for a higher price, profiting from the desperation of the families who needed to feed their babies.
Psaki took a number of questions on the issue during Thursday&#8217;s press briefing, and she began by saying that President Joe Biden had been anticipating the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/outright-criminal-congress-dragged-for-rushing-40-billion-to-ukraine-waiting-2-weeks-to-schedule-hearing-on-formula-shortage/">shortages</a> and working to find solutions for quite some time.
CBS reporter Ed O&#8217;Keefe pressed Psaki on that point, asking when President Biden had first been briefed on the potential for shortages, but Psaki declined to give any details. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to get into internal briefings,&#8221; was all she would say.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
O&#8217;Keefe pressed again, asking whether anyone had considered invoking the Defense Production Act and once more whether Biden had been apprised of the situation prior to this week. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t like this suddenly popped up?&#8221;

Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich continued in the same vein, noting that a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/amid-baby-formula-shortages-republicans-introduce-legislation-strengthening-domestic-infant-formula-supply/">whistle-blower</a> had come forward last October to warn the FDA.
&#8220;It does seem like we should&#8217;ve seen this coming, that maybe the FDA could have done more on the baby formula shortage,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The whistleblower used to work at that Sturgis plant warned the FDA top officials about safety concerns in October but they didn&#8217;t interview that whistleblower until December, the inspection wasn&#8217;t until January 31st and the recall happened February 17th. So, is that timeline acceptable to the White House? And it not, what is the White House doing to correct that?&#8221;
Psaki replied that she did not have any &#8220;specific analysis&#8221; of the process, repeating that the Biden administration had been working on the issue for months.

&#8220;If you are a parent who&#8217;s looking for formula right now, struggling to find what you need, do you have even a rough guess of how long these shortages are going to last? What should parents be bracing for here?&#8221; one reporter asked.

CNN brought out Susan Squier, who graduated from Princeton with Justice Samuel Alito 50 years ago, to attack the conservative justice over his recently-leaked early decision draft.
The <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/clarence-thomas-speaks-out-on-draft-leak-says-court-cant-be-bullied/">draft</a>, which indicated that the Supreme Court might be poised to overturn two landmark abortion rulings — Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey — has sparked outrage among Democrats and left-leaning pundits, and has led to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/psaki-says-there-is-no-official-u-s-government-position-on-activists-protesting-outside-scotus-justices-homes/">protests</a> at the Court and at the private homes of individual justices.
Squier, now a professor at Penn State University, said that she had been so angry that she helped to organize a group letter — signed by herself and some of the other women in Alito&#8217;s graduating class — attacking her former classmate, and she joined anchor John Berman on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;New Day&#8221; to discuss the draft that she claimed had left her &#8220;stunned&#8221; and &#8220;angry.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, I have read a lot of medical history going back, for doing literature and medicine, and his is like a greatest hits of misogyny,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He doesn’t consider the context. And this man was a historian at Princeton. He was a double major in history and Poli sci. But it is as if he doesn’t believe history actually involves a record of things changing. Instead, it is history as, ‘let’s go back to the Salem witch trials.’ It makes me so angry.&#8221;
Squier&#8217;s letter, which was published in the <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/inbox/response-alito-72-defense-womens-rights">Princeton Alumni Weekly</a> and signed by 28 of her classmates (along with seven others listed as &#8220;friends of the women of &#8217;72&#8221;), stated that the undersigned were &#8220;deeply shocked&#8221; and complained that the draft would &#8220;reverse the strides we thought we were making.&#8221;
&#8220;We ask our classmates, and the community of Princeton, to protest the logic that ties us to a constitutional originalism which resists any movement toward justice but, rather, moves us backwards. As Jill Lepore so aptly put it in The New Yorker, &#8216;Women are indeed missing from the Constitution. That’s a problem to remedy, not a precedent to honor,'&#8221; the letter continued.
&#8220;Those of us who went to Princeton have a privilege of having gone there, we can get listened to. So, we have to speak for the women who cannot get listened to, the women who are going to be massively impacted — I hate that word — by this horrible new decision,&#8221; Squier told Berman to wrap up the segment.

Whoopi Goldberg let loose on conservative guest host Alyssa Farah Griffin during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View&#8221; on ABC, criticizing her for daring to push back on unlimited abortion access by posing a philosophical question about when life begins.
Goldberg opened the show by complaining about the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/democrat-bill-legalizing-abortion-through-all-nine-months-for-virtually-any-reason-fails-in-senate/">Senate&#8217;s failure</a> to pass the Women&#8217;s Health Protection Act — which would have codified abortion access in all 50 states through all nine months of pregnancy — and laid the blame for that squarely at the feet of Republicans and Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
SENATE BLOCKS BILL TO CODIFY ABORTION RIGHTS: After the Senate casted their votes Wednesday for the Women&#39;s Health Protection Act that would have codified Roe v. Wade, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheView?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheView</a> panel reacts to Democrat Joe Manchin and every Republican voting against it.<a href="https://t.co/AEAQjRzDHG">https://t.co/AEAQjRzDHG</a> <a href="https://t.co/JvhGVI6oYy">pic.twitter.com/JvhGVI6oYy</a>
&mdash; The View (@TheView) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1524772883091832832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 12, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Goldberg began by acknowledging <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/manchin-destroys-senate-abortion-bill-make-no-mistake-it-is-not-roe-v-wade-codification/">the point</a> that Manchin had raised when he pointed out that the WHPA would have nullified hundreds of state laws imposing restrictions on abortion, particularly in the later months of pregnancy. But then she took issue with his assertion — <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/rnc-polling-abortion-is-not-the-winning-issue-dems-think-it-is/">which was also correct</a> — that the majority of the country was not in favor of unlimited abortion through all nine months for any reason.
&#8220;How do you know where we are today, Joe? How do any of you guys know where we are today? None of you have any uteruses. You don’t have a vagina. You don’t have anything that goes to carrying or making decisions about babies, and I don’t understand,&#8221; Goldberg continued. &#8220;All – it’s supposed to take care of women, and this is the response. It’s, like, so you just don’t give a hoot about what you just did. Okay. Everybody needs to just go vote these fools out of there.&#8221;
Griffin jumped in then, arguing that while she agreed the conversation should be driven by women, the Democrats had pushed forward with a bill that a lot of Americans believed went too far. She pointed to the bill proposed by Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) that would codify access to abortion into federal law but did not present such an extreme scenario.
Co-host Joy Behar argued, as she has before, that it was only the beginning of Republican plans to strip away other rights. &#8220;I think there’s a larger issue at stake right now. I think Americans are in denial exactly about what this Republican Party is planning to do,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;They would like to overturn voting rights. They would like to overturn gay rights. They’re in the process of overturning women’s rights.&#8221;
Sunny Hostin pointed out the fact that polling has suggested a majority of Americans are in favor of either keeping Roe v. Wade in place or codifying a federal right to abortion access, but Griffin pushed back.
&#8220;Your numbers are correct, 71 percent –&#8221; she began, but Hostin interrupted: &#8220;I don’t get the numbers wrong!&#8221;
&#8220;She’s Sunny Hostin!&#8221; Joy Behar responded.
Griffin went on to note that a majority of Americans also supported some limitations on abortion — limits that would be thrown out if the WHPA were to pass.
&#8220;Some limitations. But not outlawed,&#8221; Hostin objected.
&#8220;But yes, this is an uncomfortable conversation we have to have. At what point does a baby in the womb have rights, separate from a mother?&#8221; Griffin asked.
&#8220;Listen, it doesn’t matter what you think,&#8221; Goldberg shot back. &#8220;When you think it is. If I don’t think that that’s when it is —&#8221;
&#8220;Is that in, is it the ninth month? Is it the third trimester?&#8221; Griffin tried again.
&#8220;Listen. I don’t have, I don’t have to tell you —&#8221; Goldberg protested.
&#8220;It’s none of your business,&#8221; Behar added.
&#8220;It’s your decision, what you do with your body and how your family works. And for me, I don’t care what your religious beliefs are,&#8221; Goldberg said.
&#8220;It’s not even a religion. It’s really more a philosophical debate —&#8221; Griffin said before everyone began talking at once and the show cut to a commercial break.

Popular radio host Dana Loesch accused Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz of pushing &#8220;disinformation&#8221; about gun control and gun violence statistics.
Loesch laid out her argument in a lengthy Twitter thread responding to a 2018 claim from the Trump-backed candidate stating that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had been barred from &#8220;comprehensively&#8221; studying <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/cdc-now-targeting-gun-violence-restarts-research-program-on-epidemic-of-firearm-deaths/">gun violence</a>.
&#8220;Right now, the @CDCgov is NOT funded to study gun violence in this country. It’s time we treat shootings as a public health problem. Contact your congressperson today to demand they fund the #CDC to comprehensively study gun violence. #EndTheBan http://congress.gov,&#8221; Oz tweeted.
&#8220;I have a major problem with Republicans who push disinformation like this. #2A#DrOz,&#8221; Loesch responded, noting that the CDC was never barred from the comprehensive study of gun violence.

&#8220;The only people who talk like this are Bloomberg gun-control types. This demands explanation — not excuses or dodging. Remember the people who cover for it, too,&#8221; Loesch continued, noting that the CDC had studied firearms but had failed to report their findings for political reasons.
&#8220;Not only did the CDC study firearms, they specifically did NOT release surveys on defensive gun usage because it obliterated their gun control narrative. A gov’t agency used our tax dollars for surveys and hid the results from taxpayers in a bid to boost gun control,&#8221; she added.

&#8220;But wait, there’s more!

&#8220;Sidebar: It’s also troubling to see a declared Republican describe the willful and deliberate choice of violence with an illegally possessed inanimate object as similar to that of communicable diseases using Bloomberg rhetoric as a way to boost legitimacy of federal infringement,&#8221; Loesch concluded.
Oz is currently leading the field in a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/polls-show-three-way-neck-and-neck-race-for-pennsylvania-gop-senate-primary/">tight Republican primary</a>, as The Daily Wire previously reported. &#8220;According to a <a href="https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/TRF-PA-GOP-Sen-Primary-0508-Poll-Report.pdf">poll</a> of more than 1,000 likely Republican primary voters by the Trafalgar Group, television host Dr. Mehmet Oz currently leads the race with a 24.5% margin. Barnette follows closely behind at 23.2%, while former hedge fund CEO and Treasury Department official David McCormick comes in third at 21.6%. As the margin of error is 3%, the three candidates are virtually tied.&#8221;

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough ripped into Congressional Democrats for pushing ahead with the largely-symbolic vote to &#8220;codify&#8221; the provisions of the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, arguing that they should be focused on getting things done rather than &#8220;virtue-signaling.&#8221;
Scarborough said that a majority of Americans supported at least some access to abortion — but that the Democrats had pushed ahead with the Women&#8217;s Health Protection Act that would expand access and guarantee a woman&#8217;s right to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and for virtually any reason.
Broadening the bill to expand abortion access, Scarborough argued, was what had guaranteed its defeat — and he wondered why Democrats wouldn&#8217;t have adopted a more moderate stance in order to broaden its appeal. He argued that might have kept Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) — <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/democrat-joe-manchin-to-oppose-partys-abortion-bill/">the lone Democrat &#8220;no&#8221; vote</a> on the WHPA — on board as well as attracting some Republicans like Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
&#8220;I guarantee you, you put together everything that’s in this bill, it ain’t 70%. It’s not supported by 70%. You know, but again, Roe, we know it has that 70% support. Why not have a bipartisan bill? Why not have a bill that 70% of Americans support?&#8221;
John Heileman asked whether it might have been a strategic move, noting that the Senate could push a more moderate bill with bipartisan support closer to the midterm elections in November.
&#8220;The story of this Democratic Congress, thus far, is wildly overshooting the mark. And getting nothing from it,&#8221; Scarborough complained.
&#8220;Well, they want to know where people stand,&#8221; co-host Mika Brzezinski replied, pointing out Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer&#8217;s reasoning for <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/schumer-senate-democrats-will-force-a-vote-on-abortion-law-next-week/">forcing the vote</a>.
&#8220;You know, the time for virtue-signaling is over. They don’t have many legislative days left,&#8221; Scarborough pushed back, arguing that a vote <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/manchin-destroys-senate-abortion-bill-make-no-mistake-it-is-not-roe-v-wade-codification/">they knew was doomed</a> from the start was a waste of valuable time.
&#8220;They could go to Joe Manchin and say, we need a $1.75 trillion bill. Joe Manchin said, &#8216;I’ll give you a $1.75 trillion bill.&#8217; I want to — and nobody ever says this because they always like sticking horns on Joe Manchin who, by the way, Democrats should all, like, send him, like, I don’t know — a box of chocolate, perhaps, for standing in the way of a $6 trillion bill, flooding this inflation, like, torn economy with a $6 trillion or $3 trillion,&#8221; Scarborough continued.
&#8220;It is never enough,&#8221; Scarborough continued. &#8220;When the Republicans are saying, yeah, we’ll sign on to this. Good is never good enough. Again, Democrats are left with nothing, and they’re running out of time.&#8221;

A South Carolina man allegedly murdered his girlfriend, then died of a cardiac event while attempting to bury her body, police say.
<a href="https://www.wjbf.com/csra-news/homicide-investigation-2-bodies-found-in-backyard-of-edgefield-co-home/">According to local ABC affiliate WJBF</a>, local authorities were called out to a home on Tanglewood Drive in Trenton on Saturday morning. When they arrived, they found the body of Joseph Anthony McKinnon, 60, in the back yard.
The coroner concluded that McKinnon had likely died of natural causes — what authorities called a &#8220;cardiac event&#8221; — and the investigation might have concluded there, but they found a second body buried in a recently-dug pit in the back yard.
The second body was identified as Patricia Ruth Dent, 65, who lived at the same address — and the coroner suspected foul play was the cause of her demise. Full autopsies later revealed that Dent had been a victim of strangulation and that McKinnon had died of a heart attack.
&#8220;On Saturday morning Deputies along with the Edgefield County Coroner’s Office, and Edgefield County EMS responded to 102 Tanglewood Drive in Trenton, South Carolina to a call of an unresponsive man lying in his yard,&#8221; said Sheriff Jody Rowland, who <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/man-strangled-girlfriend-to-death-then-had-a-fatal-cardiac-event-while-burying-the-body-sheriff/?utm_source=mostpopular">explained the scenario</a> in a joint statement with Edgefield County Coroner David Burnett.
&#8220;Joseph Anthony McKinnon, 60, of the same address was found to be deceased in his yard. Mr. McKinnon had no signs of trauma and natural causes were suspected. While investigating the death and making notifications to the next of kin, a second body, was located in a freshly dug pit. Patricia Ruth Dent, 65, of the same address appeared to have died by foul play,&#8221; the statement continued.
&#8220;I would say a nightmare, and I want to wake up, and it’s a dream. I know it’s not. This is reality and life, and a big part of me is gone, and now I’m going to have to live with that,&#8221; Dent&#8217;s twin sister Pamela Briggs told reporters after confirming that Dent had been McKinnon&#8217;s live-in girlfriend. &#8220;Everybody who ever met her liked her. She was just full of energy. She was 65 and working.&#8221;
&#8220;Based on evidence gathered at the scene, and statements from witnesses, investigators believe Mr. McKinnon attacked Ms. Dent while inside their home,&#8221; WJBF reported. &#8220;McKinnon then allegedly bound her and wrapped her in trash bags before putting her in a pit he dug. While burying Ms. Dent in the pit, Mr. McKinnon had the cardiac event, causing him to die.&#8221;
