A Russian TV host called for "regime change" in the U.S., and also for former President Donald Trump to be reinstated.

The host, Evgeny Popov, went as far as to refer to Trump as a "partner" to the Russian people.

Saturday, while speaking in Warsaw, Poland, President Joe Biden uttered words about Vladimir Putin which required a clarification from the White House.

Biden at first stated Putin is a "dictator bent on rebuilding an empire" as his forces continue to attack Ukrainian civilians.

"We will have a different future — a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities," he said.

He then veered off the script and added: "For God's sake, this man can not remain in power."

Staten Island warehouse employees become first in US to organize in grassroots union.

Employees of Amazon's largest New York City warehouse have voted to unionize, overcoming the trillion-dollar company's ferocious opposition, to become its first American workers to successfully organize. The vote came in on Friday, with 2,654 votes for and 2,131 against union membership, and while it remains to be officially certified by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Amazon has not challenged enough ballots to change the total.

Workers at the Staten Island facility known as JFK8 will become part of the Amazon Labor Union, whose demands include "more reasonable" productivity rates in the warehouse, higher wages, more paid breaks and vacations, among other demands.

Comment: Considering Amazon's notoriously brutal treatment of its employees, this is clearly a win.

The Biden administration announced Friday that it will be terminating the Title 42 border policy at the end of May. "After considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19 (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the CDC Director has determined that an Order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary," the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said in a statement.

Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich tweeted Friday afternoon:

"NEW: CDC announces Title 42 to be terminated May 23. 'Following a public health determination, the CDC Director is terminating the Order ... The implementation of the termination of the Order will be on May 23 2022.'"

Ukraine vs Yemen - A contrast in media coverage

In the now month-long mainstream media coverage of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, much attention has been paid to the actions of the 'Ukrainian Resistance'.

In a manner not dissimilar to its coverage of the 'Syrian rebels' a decade ago, a romanticised image of 'Ukrainian freedom fighters' fighting bravely against a militarily superior Russian foe has been widespread amongst corporate outlets, alongside their fawning over Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his calls for the implementation of a No Fly Zone - a move that would undoubtedly trigger nuclear war.

This Hollywood-style PR makeover of the Ukrainian military by the corporate media - including the notorious neo-Nazi Azov Battalion - also shares a strong similarity with the aforementioned 'Syrian rebels' in that it highlights the strong presence of CIA involvement in the background.

Indeed, the training of Ukrainian military personnel by the CIA to engage in guerrilla warfare against Russia was recently outlined in a Western corporate media report, indicating that a plan was in place to draw Moscow into an Iraq-war style military quagmire in Ukraine - the second largest country in Europe.

77-year-old faces dismissal for "transphobic" thought crime.

A school nurse in Hartford, CT was suspended over a "transphobic" Facebook post in which she questioned why 11-year-olds were on puberty blockers.

77-year-old Kathleen Cataford, who works at Richard J Kinsella Magnet School, posted in a mum's Facebook group that there was an 11-year-old girl at the school on puberty blockers and 12 other students identifying as "non-binary."

Florida GOP threatens to strip Walt Disney World of its right to build anything it wants inside its theme park as feud over 'Don't Say Gay' bill escalates

Reedy Creek Disney
The 1967 act created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which encompasses about 25,000 acres in Orange and Osceola counties and is controlled by its landowners, the biggest among them being Disney.
Some Republican legislators in Florida are considering punishing Walt Disney World for taking a public stand against the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill by repealing a 55-year law that allows the company to govern itself.

Florida House Rep. Spencer Roach tweeted on Wednesday that lawmakers held two meetings this week to discuss revoking the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which he said 'allows Disney to act as its own government.'

Spencer, a Republican, added: 'If Disney wants to embrace woke ideology, it seems fitting that they should be regulated by Orange County.'

Comment: More from Fox News:
"What I would say as a matter of first principle is I don't support special privileges in law just because a company is powerful and they've been able to wield a lot of power," DeSantis said during a press conference in West Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday.

Disney has been engaged in a war of words with Republicans in Florida leading up to Monday's signing of the controversial bill, which prohibits classroom instruction on "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" with children in third grade or younger "or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

DeSantis referenced a bill reining in big tech that Republicans were working through the legislature last year when Disney added a "carve out" at the "11th hour" for theme parks.

"I'm thinking to myself, 'This is ridiculous,'" DeSantis said. "Honestly, it was embarrassing."

DeSantis continued, "I think what has happened is there's a lot of these special privileges that are not justifiable, but because Disney had held so much sway, they were able to sustain a lot of special treatment over the years."

DeSantis said that Disney has "lost a lot of the pull that they used to have" over the company's reaction to the parental rights law and said he thinks that's a "good thing for our state because the state should be governed by the best interest of the people."

"I would say any special privileges that are in law I would like to get rid of generally," DeSantis added. "I think in this particular case with Disney, I just don't think you have very many people in the legislature anymore who are going to be able to defend a lot of what has been done over many years to really have them almost govern themselves in some of these things. That was probably never appropriate to start, but is certainly not appropriate now at this point."
...

"This state is governed by the interest of the people of the state of Florida. It is not based on the demands of California corporate executives," DeSantis said. "They do not run this state. They do not control this state."
And from Breitbart:
House Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman Jim Banks (R-IN) wrote in a letter to Disney CEO Bob Chapek he will fight to rescind Mickey Mouse's copyright renewal over the megacorporation's LGBT campaign.

Banks wrote to Chapek as the Mickey Mouse copyright will expire on January 1, 2024. Given Disney's opposition to Gov. Ron Desantis's Parental Rights in Education Act, and its push to include as "many, many many LGBTQIA characters in its stories," he cannot support an extension of its copyrights.

He wrote to Chapek:
At home, Disney has capitulated to far-left activists through hypocritical, woke corporate actions. The most recent example is Disney's public opposition to Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act, which recently passed Florida's legislature and was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. The law prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through the 3rd grade, topics which are inappropriate for children that age.

Disney has said it wants this law repealed even though it has broad support among Florida residents, especially parents. A senior Disney employee was recently caught on camera saying she wants "many, many, many, LGBTQIA characters in our stories." And according to a Disney employee, Disney's Diversity Equity and Inclusion Department, "expanded by an astonishing 633 percent in 2019-21, at the same time that nearly every other department was contracting by 25-75 percent." This suggests Disney is purposefully influencing small children with political and sexual agenda.
Banks initially discussed this fight on Fox News:

While for all appearances, Disney is simply responding to public and employee outcry in its fight against the bill, you have to wonder if there's something deeper going on here, considering the company's consistent employee connection to child sexual abuse. Just a coincidence?

Best of the Web: Putin's popularity CLIMBS in Russia since launch of military operation in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers a speech during a concert marking the eighth anniversary of Russia's annexation of Crimea at a Moscow stadium on March 18.
A new Russian opinion poll shows that President Vladimir Putin has gotten a boost in ratings since the start of the war in Ukraine.
The Levada Center said in a survey released on March 30 that more than 80 percent of Russian respondents support his actions.

The poll was the first Levada has conducted since the conflict began on February 24.

The survey also showed 83 percent of Russians backing Putin, up from 71 percent in early February.

The survey was conducted on March 24-30 in face-to-face interviews with 1,632 Russians across the country. The margin of error was 3.4 percentage points.

The findings match up with those of Kremlin-backed, state-funded pollsters, which also showed Putin's approval ratings at above 80 percent.

Comment: Russia is not interested in occupying Ukraine. On the battlefield they are going very slowly and very carefully so they can avoid any unnecessary civilian casualties.

It hurts the psychopathic PTB to see that the Russian President Vladimir Putin enjoys a very high support among the people, not just in Russia but across the entire planet.

Pastor Artur Pawlowski is going home to his family

Pastor Artur Pawlowski
Last Friday, Sarah Miller, Artur's legal counsel, successfully appealed for him to be granted bail on charges stemming for his visit to the Coutts blockade. This week, she successfully negotiated terms on the pastor's additional charges so that the may return home to his family under strict bail conditions.

Pastor Artur Pawlowski has been incarcerated for 50 days for daring to visit and preach to protesters at the Coutts, Alberta border blockade.

He is facing a historically unprecedented charge under the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act, a charge which was not even levied against those who were actively blockading the roads. Authorities, however, sought to use the Act against Pastor Artur despite the fact that he was only at the border for a few hours in total and at no time did he obstruct any infrastructure.

Comment: Pawlowski's open defiance of Covid lockdown restrictions clearly stuck in the maw of the authorities who are aggressively punishing him for 'crimes' no one else is being punished for. Artur's fight is on the front lines against the encroaching tyranny that many in Canada are coming up against. Hopefully his fight will be a successful one.

'Assault on women's sports': Joe Rogan says Lia Thomas might be 'woke straw' that 'breaks' society's back

Podcaster Joe Rogan didn't beat around the bush when he said Penn swimmer Lia Thomas, a biological male who identifies as a female, is an "assault on women's sports."

During The Joe Rogan Experience podcast Thursday, Rogan and his guest comedian Yannis Pappas talked about how things are kind of backward these days and how a person can't say something that's not popularly accepted without hiding behind some "kind of anonymity."

The host agreed, but noted how he's starting to see a "pushback," and that Thomas is an example of people having reached a breaking point when it comes to transgender individuals competing in sports. The exchange begins at the 1:25:31 minute mark in the show.
