TOP O’ THE MORNIN’
Jon Stewart Nailed for Hypocrisy After Attack on Trump Overvaluing Property, He Doesn’t Handle It Well
But in one of those stories that truly shows karma coming home to roost, now Stewart is being called out for allegedly overvaluing his own property.
Absolute Hilarity Ensues After Anti-Israel Vanderbilt ‘Sit-In’ Does Not Go According to Plan
No lessons will be learned by the students from this, of course, but the “no games will be played” message sent by the University was a welcome sign in a day and age where so many other campus administrators try coddling as a resolution, which only makes matters worse.
Four-Star General Suspended and Under IG Investigation for Tampering With Command Selection Board
This is the kind of dry rot that causes institutions to collapse. Unless the command selection process has the general confidence of the officer corps, many eligible officers will leave the service rather than compete in a rigged system.
WHAT’S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill…
Despite the Easter recess, there is, in fact, one hearing scheduled for Thursday, though not on the Hill. The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is hosting a field hearing titled “A Burden to Business: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Assessment of Administrative Fees” at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park in Jamestown, Kentucky.
Also, a nod to former senator and vice-presidential candidate Joe Lieberman, who, by all accounts, was a genuinely nice man and decent human being. Rest in peace, Sir.

White House What’s Up
After a quiet Wednesday, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are set to travel to New York Thursday for a campaign event.
Full Court Press…
No oral argument in the Supreme Court on Thursday.
There is, however, a hearing set in Fulton County, Georgia, Thursday morning on motions filed by former President Donald Trump and codefendant David James Shafer — the first since Judge Scott McAfee issued his ruling on the motion(s) to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis and/or her lead prosecutor/romantic interest, Nathan Wade.
MORNING MUSING
As I scrolled through Twitter Wednesday morning, I saw there was some discussion surrounding Culver’s. I never could quite figure out what set things off — there was one discussion that had to do with which restaurant chains “support Israel” by the pro-Hamas crowd; then there was another about the announcement by the Tampa Bay Rays about their new “Curds in the Third” promotion.

As a lover of Culver’s curds, I suggest that all MLB ballparks/teams adopt this tradition.
Oh, hey, speaking of baseball…that starts today, doesn’t it?!
