NY Post exceprt: Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is moving to broaden its editorial voice by hiring three conservative columnists after a string of high-profile liberal departures. Kate Andrews of The Spectator, Dominic Pino of National Review and Carine Hajjar of the Boston Globe editorial board will join the opinion section under new editor Adam O’Neal, who has said he wants to diversify viewpoints at a paper he acknowledged is read “overwhelmingly” by liberals. The hires were announced in a memo that O’Neal circulated to staffers. The newspaper also announced the new additions on its social media page. “On my first day at The Post, I wrote to you all that advocating free markets and personal liberties would be critical to rebuilding trust with Americans,” O’Neal wrote in the memo — a copy of which was obtained by the New York Post.
Text from "Pokemon Shuffle" by Alejandro Ramirez. "But we all knew who the king was: the holographic Charizard. An orange dragon, breathing fire, wings extended, with 120 HP and capable of 100 points of damage, the highest stats of any card at the time. That card glittered in the classroom lights, though it usually stayed tucked in the binder, an orange treasure that outshone the other rare cards surrounding it. None of us actually played the card game. When you take things like rules into account, Charizard sucked despite its huge numbers (for example, it's weak against water Pokémon). We didn't care. It was badass, a fiery beast and not a cuddly Pikachu. The only cards that could rival Charizard were Japanese holographics. Everyone in St. Mary's Grammar School knew the flea market on Route 28 sold packs of Japanese cards. Sometimes the art was different, and that combined with the foreign text made them worth more. But then the new Pokémon came out in Japan, one hundred new monsters demanding our time and money. There was no official U.S. release for them, but you could buy Japanese packs of the new Pokémon at the flea market. They ..."

“They say they’re trying to restore what us old guys ruined,” said the Rev. John Forliti, 87, a retired Twin Cities priest who fought for civil rights and reforms in Catholic school sex education. Doug Koesel, an outspoken 72-year-old priest at Blessed Trinity Parish in Cleveland, was blunter: “They’re just waiting for us to die.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 19, 2026 Contact: Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition Elizabeth Madeira Elizabeth@TNimmigrant.org | (615) 474-3076 Estefany Rodríguez Flórez Released on Bond From ICE Detention Nashville, TN— After spending sixteen days in ICE detention, Nashville Noticias reporter, Estefany Rodríguez Flórez, has been released from ICE detention on a $10,000 bond.
Later in the same interview, Mullin recalled that he directed Jason Crow, a congressman from Colorado who is a former Army Ranger, in how to best evacuate sheltering lawmakers from the balcony. Then, Mullin recalled, he visited a triage center, where wounded police officers were getting treated for their injuries. “I haven’t seen a thing like that since stuff you see overseas,” Mullin told C-SPAN. Since Mullin did not serve in any branch of the US armed forces, but inherited a plumbing company and took part in a handful of mixed martial arts fights, it is unclear what firsthand experience of disorder “overseas” he was flashing back to on January 6. However, Mullin does seem to have visited Israel, in a guided tour for 40 lawmakers and their spouses in August 2015. There was no active warfare in Israel at that time, but another lawmaker’s wife, Kathleen Trott later told Politico that Mullin had behaved badly on the bus trip to see an Iron Dome installation and a kibbutz.
I stayed with Fletcher's Band from the last part of 1924 to almost [the end of] 1925. We played at the Roseland Ballroom for over Six Months, then we went on tour. We were the First Colored Big Band to Hit the Road. We went All through the New England States. We spent our First Summer up in Lawrence Mass-That was our Headquarters, while we played dances to all the Surrounding Towns. Was quite a Thrilling Experi-ence to have most of my days off and we would go 'Swimming' etc. Buster Bailey was exceptionally good at Swimming. He would Swim all the way cross that big 'River in Lawrence Mass. Of course I am not so bad myself at 'Swimming.-In fact it's one of my' famous 'Hobbies, outside of "Typing." I loves that also.

"On top of that, who in the hell would willingly spend time with Stephen Miller at the White House and then brag about it? You know how many times I’ve willingly hung out at the house of an old rapist who's pals with pedophiles, plotting with the dude who was allegedly in a throuple with a guy currently embroiled in a PR controversy because his AI is generating child sexual abuse materials? Never! Not once."

The Federal Communications Commission’s Trump-aligned chairman on Wednesday threatened to “take action” against Disney and ABC over Jimmy Kimmel’s recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer. During his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”
