Good on Boris.

Girl Scouts Lose Trademark Lawsuit Over Boy Scouts Marketing - WSJ

“Rather, the public historically has been confused as to the relationship between Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts,” the judge said in his ruling.

Yes.

Doctors Now Prescribing Krispy Kremes To Kids For ‘Fat-Affirming Care’ - The Babylon Bee

In this new field of medicine, kids will be given boxes of Krispy Kremes to eat every day until their body better matches their self-image.

This sounds like something the AAP would put out.

Dusk on the ramp.

Let’s grill.

Biden Administration to Extend Student Loan Payment Moratorium Until End of August - WSJ

The Biden administration is planning to extend until the end of August a pause on federal student-loan payments, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Why the charade?

0% chance they restart loans 60 days before the midterms.

Russia-Ukraine War Latest News: Biden Calls for War-Crime Trial, Says Putin Must Be Held Accountable - WSJ

President Biden called for a war crimes trial over allegations of atrocities committed by Russian forces in Bucha, a town near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, and he said the U.S. is seeking additional sanctions against Moscow.

Where’s the barrage of sanctions on Putin himself?

Uninviting Russia from the feckless UN Human Rights Council is a joke.

Giving brew over ice a try.

Beautiful weekend. I love spring.

Biden Signs ‘Don’t Say Gas’ Bill - The Babylon Bee

“This is good for America!” said Biden. “Great for clean energy. Go get him!”

How to Tell if Your Financial Adviser Is Overcharging You - WSJ

The lowest-cost products might not be the best for every investor in every instance.

Except for the voluminous research that says it is.

Will Smith Resigns From Academy After Oscars Slap of Chris Rock - WSJ

Mr. Smith, as an ex-member of the academy, can no longer vote for future Oscars.

What a devastating consequence! How can Will Smith ever move on?

This whole thing is an elitist charade. I’d never heard of Coda or King Richard until the slap.

The Academy’s exists so that Hollywood can pat itself on the back. If that’s how they want to spend their money and time, that’s fine. But let’s not pretend that it’s relevant.

‘Don’t Say Gay’ Is Popular? You Don’t Say - WSJ Opinion

“When Americans are presented with the actual language of the new Florida law, it wins support by more than a two-to-one margin.” That’s from a new poll by Public Opinion Strategies. Overall, 61% of people said they supported the “don’t say gay” law, with 26% opposed.

Funny what happens when people move from hearing a soundbite to hearing the actual, full quote.

Even more notable is the breadth of that sentiment. Democratic voters in the poll support the law 55% to 29%. Among suburban voters, which could be a decisive group for the midterm elections, it’s 60% to 30%. Parents: 67% to 24%. Biden voters: 53% to 30%.

The Covid Spending Racket - WSJ Opinion

And what happened to the $1.9 trillion for Covid Democrats passed last March? Most went to transfer payments, including child tax credits, enhanced unemployment benefits and stimulus checks. About a quarter subsidized state and local budgets and schools. Democrats appropriated a mere $80 billion for public health, only $16 billion of which was available for vaccines and therapies.

Ukrainian Delegate Knows It Dangerous To Eat At Peace Talks, But Brownie Just Too Tempting - The Onion

“Obviously we’ve been warned not to touch any of the food or drink, but they didn’t prepare us for how perfectly moist and fudgy these things would be,” said the high-level delegate who reportedly eyed the plate of baked chocolate confections with a mixture of suspicion and hunger while noting that he hadn’t eaten all day and the brownies would clearly go down great with a glass of cold milk.

White House Labor Nominee David Weil Blocked in Senate - WSJ

Mr. Weil, an economist at Brandeis University, previously served as head of the division between 2014 and 2017 under the Obama administration. Mr. Biden nominated him to return to the post in June with backing from labor unions.

Good news. Weil’s policies while previously in office were just terrible, and the courts agreed.

Biden’s Gaffes Grate on Voters - WSJ Opinion

Asked by Fox News’s Peter Doocy about this triple gaffe Monday at a White House rollout of his 2023 budget, the president replied, “None of the three occurred.”

Ah, my mistake, sir.

I’ll disregard your quotes and your staff’s many statements clarifying your quotes.

‘I Can’t Work With This Man’—After Repeated Gaffes, Biden’s Teleprompter Resigns In Disgust - The Babylon Bee

“I can’t take it anymore,” the teleprompter read. “I give him everything he needs to say and he still ignores me. He goes off-script and talks absolute nonsense. It’s humiliating!”

Biden to Tap Strategic Oil Reserves, as Crude Prices Drop - WSJ

A release of that size would be nearly four times the largest ever drawdown from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, according to analysts at ClearView Energy Partners LLC. And it comes after the president has already tapped the reserve twice in six months, amid his promises to act aggressively as needed to ease rising prices for drivers.

I hope there’s not a legitimate strategic need for those barrels between now and when they’re replaced.

Buying votes doesn’t qualify as a good use of a national strategic stockpile.
