With prices soaring, labor shortages, the Ukraine war raging, supply-chains snarled and interest rates now set to rise, fears of a looming recession are everywhere. Except, of course, at the White House — which is in utter denial. Just as it was over inflation.

Warner Bros. has stated that it will be deleting a 6-second gay dialogue in Fantastic Beasts 3: The Secrets of Dumbledore lest it offend the Chinese viewing audience. It would seem, then, that for Hollywood, the mantra is, “In the USA, we must say gay, no matter who we alienate and offend. But when it comes to China, where our financial losses will be much steeper, we mustn’t say gay at all, especially in a children’s movie, lest we offend.”

It's the irony of ironies. Warner Brothers, in a sequel to its "Fantastic Beasts" spin-off, decided to add some gay undertones to Albus Dumbledore's character. When China found out about the unnecessary addition of an LGBT relationship, they asked producers to cut it. Hollywood, ever the compliant partner of the communist regime, obliged.

Industry silence over “Dumbledore” gay censorship is part of bigger problem.

Greg Gutfeld: And if you don't don the mask, you'll likely be scolded by someone with an ax to grind. Now, of course, it depends on the crew you got. Some are really great, some aren't. Like the attendant who wakes you up from a harmless slumber because your diaper slipped a millimeter like it's an oxygen mask and they're saving your life.

What little science there is on the subject shows that airborne disease transmission is not more likely on an airplane than it is indoors, where the CDC has already said masks are no longer needed. If anything, with all the fresh air brought into planes and all the filtering of recycled air, a plane is safer than the average building.

Where could alleged shooter Frank James have gotten his racist ideas from? While notions such as white replacement by minorities are denounced as dangerous racist conspiracy theories, the inverse, conspiracy theories that claim white people are going to launch a black genocide are mainstream.

In a perfect world for the left and their media, the shooter would have ultimately turned out to be a middle-aged, heterosexual, Christian white man, sporting a MAGA hat and NRA t-shirt. He would have been apprehended while driving a gas-guzzling Ford pick-up with a Pro-Life bumper sticker, and Ben Shapiro’s podcast would have been blaring from the vehicle’s stereo.

Stephen Kruiser: We’re blessed to live in a time when people can have much longer, and more productive, lives. Unfortunately, some people still hit the age wall and need to have the keys to the car taken away. Or the nuclear launch codes.

Rich Lowry: A funny thing happened on the way to renewed normality — President Biden has engaged in one bizarre escapade after another as he’s crashed his presidency into the rocks of incompetence, tone-deafness, and stubbornly misplaced priorities.

Daily Signal

The United States is suffering through its highest level of inflation in 40 years and the White House and its media allies can’t stop peddling false narratives to help the president dodge blame.

Daily Caller

When historians study the disaster that was the Biden administration, they will find many factors that contributed to the historic failure we are witnessing. At the top of the list is a president who is clearly just not up to the job. Whether due to age, cognitive decline or general ineptitude, Joe Biden has not been able to lead America.

Should Putin’s Russia clash with Finland or Sweden today, the U.S. is free to respond, or not to respond, as it sees fit, depending on our own assessment of risks and rewards. Why not keep it that way? Why surrender our freedom of action in some future collision involving our main adversary?

Whenever Obama grants an interview to one of his adorers in the media, one who arrives bathed in the glow of servility, everyone should be reminded that this is why people don’t trust the media. Look no further than Obama interview by weatherman Al Roker, which aired on April 12 and 13. “Scrutiny” or “accountability” are not words that apply. NBC and the other liberal media outlets seek to put Republican presidents on trial, and put Democrat presidents at ease.
