Woman Taking Up Three-Quarters Of Bed In Obvious Case Of Wife Supremacy - The Babylon Bee

He told me his wife was laying on her back with her arms and legs spread out, kind of like she was making a snow angel

Biden’s Multitrillion-Dollar Gamble - WSJ

I think there’s considerable tax-the-rich fervor among centrists and independents too, but I think when people imagine this they’re thinking billionaires on vast estates. Instead, it may come down to a couple with three kids in Westfield, N.J. Husband works full-time, wife part-time; together they bring in $500,000 a year. Pretty plush. But with federal, state and property taxes, sales taxes, mortgage payments, the kids’ braces, the babysitter, maybe private-school tuition, they don’t experience themselves as rich.

I don’t like Peggy’s writing often, but man did she hit this nail on the head.

It is finished.

Apple Arcade Adds 30 Classic Games Including ‘Fruit Ninja’ and ‘Cut the Rope Remastered’ - MacRumors

With the titles listed, this might be the first time that Apple Arcade is worth anything.

After Fun April Fools' Day Of Telling Jokes, Babylon Bee To Return To Real News Tomorrow - The Babylon Bee

The site published many hilarious jokes over the course of April 1, as is their tradition, but from April 2 all the way until March 31 of next year, The Babylon Bee says they are committed to being the most accurate, truthful news source on the planet.

Woke and Weak CEOs - WSJ

Georgia’s law does make it easier to vote, though it also tries to reassure citizens about ballot integrity. The state provides far more days of early voting than New York. It offers no-excuse absentee ballots, unlike Mr. Biden’s beloved Delaware. So who’s really suppressing whom? Georgia’s new law puts limits on drop boxes, but as Delta’s Mr. Bastian now regrets pointing out last week, it also makes them a permanent part of the voting system. In 2019, before Covid, drop boxes were illegal.

Man Who Carries Smartphone Everywhere He Goes Worried Government Might Track Him Through Vaccine - The Babylon Bee

The device is always either in his pocket, in his car, or in his hands. He says he’s lucky he had it on him today, so that he could warn his social media followers of the government’s sinister plan to track his every move.

Biden Defines Infrastructure Down - WSJ

Most Americans think of infrastructure as roads, highways, bridges and other traditional public works. That’s why it polls well, and every President has supported more of it. Yet this accounts for a mere $115 billion of Mr. Biden’s proposal. There’s another $25 billion for airports and $17 billion for ports and waterways that also fill a public purpose. The rest of the $620 billion earmarked for “transportation” are subsidies for green energy and payouts to unions for the jobs his climate regulation will kill.

Tech April Fools jokes are so played out.

Biden’s $2 Trillion Corporate Tax Plan Tears Up Republicans’ 2017 Blueprint - WSJ

President Biden’s corporate tax plan would tear down much of the structure that Republicans built in their tax law less than four years ago, driving up rates on large U.S.-based companies and raising taxes on their foreign profits.

Those tax cuts were passed using the same 50-vote needed budget reconciliation process that was just used for the spending bonanza and is eyed for use again.

The legislative process is most brittle when it’s purely partisan.

The Republicans’ 2017 law sought to lighten the U.S. corporate tax burden to make it similar to other countries’ systems. By contrast, the Biden plan hinges in part on the Democratic administration’s ability to get other countries to impose similar tax regimes so that a U.S. corporate headquarters doesn’t become a significant competitive disadvantage.

Isn’t dreaming fun?

Here Come the Biden Taxes - WSJ Opinion

The great political fakery here is that corporate taxes merely fall on CEOs and rich shareholders. But as everyone knows, corporations don’t really pay taxes. They are vehicles for collecting taxes that are ultimately paid by some combination of customers in higher prices, workers in lower wages, and shareholders in lower returns on investment.

Done with school, so I guess we’re on Easter break!

The Equality Act Is at War With Reality - WSJ Opinion

G.K. Chesterton predicted more than a century ago: “Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face.”

Months after the release of watchOS7, it’s clear to me that Apple’s sleep tracking is 100% useless.

I wish they would do like other big tech companies and just copy what everyone else is doing.

The Wuhan Whitewash - WSJ

Beijing has limited independent access to information on Covid-19’s origin, much as it silenced scientists and journalists who raised doubts about the official story last year. The report’s publication was repeatedly delayed, as both sides negotiated a report that is more political than scientific.

The irony in all of this report and investigation meddling is that it gives further credibility to the theory that mismanagement at one of the Wuhan scientific labs is the probable source.

Beijing may be in denial, but ordinary people around the world see clearly that the emperor has no clothes.

Cable-News Viewership Falls After Trump’s Exit, Ratings Races Tighten - WSJ

Fox News lost 32% of its total prime-time audience compared with the quarter ended Dec. 31, Nielsen data show. CNN and MSNBC had smaller declines of 16% and 7.8%, respectively, though each fell more substantially from highs they hit in January.

I still can’t believe anyone watches these 24-hour political ads.

CDC Director Gives Press Conference While Holding ‘THE END IS NEAR’ Sign - The Babylon Bee

Dr. Walensky then pulled out several scientific tools to support her hypothesis of impending doom, from tea leaves and a crystal ball to a deck of tarot cards.

This is satire, but the press conference they’re satirizing was truly bizarre. CDC should endeavor to base their decisions and pubic statements on more than a bad feeling.
