Joe and Jill Biden on Monday participated in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.

Biden glad-handed with Easter Egg Roll attendees on the South Lawn.
He just couldn’t help himself around the children.
Joe Biden leaned in and sniffed a little girl before being whisked away by his son Hunter.

A Whole Foods supermarket in San Francisco that opened just a year ago is already closing due to crime and public drug use in the area.
The people who work at the store do not feel it’s a safe work environment.
When will the people in this city say enough is enough?
The San Francisco Standard reports:
Downtown San Francisco Whole Foods Closing a Year After Opening
One of the largest supermarkets in Downtown San Francisco—the Whole Foods Market at Eighth and Market streets—intends to shut down at the close of business Monday just a little more than a year after the store opened, company officials told The Standard.
“We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being,” a Whole Foods spokesperson said in a statement. “If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location.”
A City Hall source told The Standard the company cited deteriorating street conditions around drug use and crime near the grocery store as a reason for its closure.
Since the start of the pandemic, Downtown has suffered a massive loss in foot traffic due to remote work and many small businesses have shuttered. Fears of a “doom loop” in which a cascade of negative financial impacts compound have spread across the city. City Hall officials currently expect a nearly $800 million deficit in San Francisco’s budget.
One idea recently floated to confront the crisis is converting vacant Downtown office space into thousands of units of student housing.
The beleaguered grocery store on Market Street slashed its operating hours due to “high theft” and hostile visitors in October last year, according to one of the store’s managers. And in November, the store enforced new bathroom rules after syringes and pipes were found in the restroom.
What happens when there are no more places to shop?

On Monday America First Legal revealed that the Biden White House involved in the unprecedented raid on former President Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
The DOJ and Biden White House then lied about their efforts.

FBI agents guard President Trump’s home during an unprecedented raid by Biden DOJ.
America First Legal reported:
Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) Office of the Inspector General to obtain records related to the Biden White House’s “Special Access Request” for President Trump’s records located at Mar-a-Lago.
On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there. According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were “stunned” to hear of this development.
However, new NARA records obtained through America First Legal’s investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirmed that the FBI obtained access to these records through a “special access request” from the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
It appears that the Biden White House and DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of a “special access request.”
What this effectively means is that there are substantial discrepancies between what the Archives has told Congress and what appears in its internal communications. For example, Acting Archivist Debra Wall told Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) on August 16, 2022, that NARA “had not been involved in the DOJ investigation or any searches that it has conducted.”
This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House’s role in the shocking raid of President Trump’s home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting “on behalf of” the DOJ raises significant legal concerns.
The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president only when the records in question are needed for “the conduct of current business” of the White House. Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the “current business” of the White House.
Accordingly, America First Legal is demanding NARA turn over records related to the Biden White House’s involvement in the politically motivated raid of President Trump’s home.
America First Legal posted a series of tweets today on the latest Biden scandal.

One year ago in April of 2022, the Biden regime announced the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board with a lunatic in charge.  Today we can report that there is more to this lunatic than meets the eye. 
Nina Jankowicz hit the spotlight last year at this time as she was elevated to the head of a newly created Disinformation Governance Board.
Biden Regime Announces Creation of “Disinformation Governance Board” Under the Authority of Homeland Security with a Lunatic in Charge

Her career was in peril when one of her videos hit Twitter and it was not disinformation.  Jankowicz filmed herself singing a bizarre song about what she labeled disinformation which was more likely the truth to the tune of Mary Poppins’s “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.  Who was this idiot to tell us what is true or not?

This one absolutely has to go into the 2022 Time Capsule. #MinistryOfTruth pic.twitter.com/gww1JncUZW
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) April 29, 2022

But as we looked further into Jankowicz we found a more sinister background.
Currently, Jankowicz is an Adjunct Professor at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs:
Nina Jankowicz is an internationally-recognized expert on disinformation and democratization. Her debut book, How to Lose the Information War (Bloomsbury 2020), was named a New Statesman 2020 book of the year; The New Yorker called it “a persuasive new book on disinformation as a geopolitical strategy.” Her second book, How to Be A Woman Online (Bloomsbury 2022), an examination of online abuse and disinformation and tips for fighting back, was deemed “essential” by Publisher’s Weekly.
Jankowicz’s expertise spans the public, private, and academic sectors. She has advised governments, international organizations, and tech companies; testified before the United States Congress, UK Parliament, and European Parliament; and led accessible, actionable research about the effects of disinformation on women, minorities, democratic activists, and freedom of expression around the world.
Jankowicz has extensive media experience, with writing published in many major American newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic. She is a regular guest on major radio and television programs such as the PBS Newshour, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS and Amanpour, the BBC World Service, and NPR’s All Things Considered.
Between 2017-2022, Jankowicz held fellowships at the Wilson Center, where she was affiliated with the Kennan Institute and the Science and Technology Innovation Program. In 2016-17, she advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on disinformation and strategic communications under the auspices of a Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship. Prior to her Fulbright grant, she managed democracy assistance programs to Russia and Belarus at the National Democratic Institute.
Jankowicz holds a Master’s degree from the Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. She is a proud alumna of Bryn Mawr College, where she studied Political Science and Russian and graduated magna cum laude. She is fluent in Russian and speaks proficient Ukrainian and Polish. In her spare time, Jankowicz enjoys acting in local musical theater productions and hiking. She lives outside of Washington, DC with her husband, son, dog, and cat.
But there is more to Jankowicz’s resume.  While spending time in Ukraine as a Clinton Fulbright Scholar in 2014, she created a fitness blog.  The site has been removed by can still be seen on the Wayback Machine.  What’s notable is that Sweatingit.net was in place from 2012 to 2015.  This timing is coincident with the Maidan revolution in Ukraine.  Apparently, Jankowicz was in Ukraine at the time of the 2014 Maidan revolution. 

Jankowicz also was the sole proprietor of a political strategy firm called Sophias Strategies LLC which does not have an EIN and can only be located on the wayback machine.  This LLC was inactivated in January of 2023.

Her LLC has a GSA number for receiving U.S. Government grants, but she also was paid by three foreign nonprofits at the time she worked for the DHS.

The Centre for Information Resilience is out of the UK and it says who is paying its bills.
Yes. We have received grants from the UK government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the U.S. State Department, USAID and Australia’s Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade. All funding was for specific projects related to our mission to investigate human rights abuses, war crimes and disinformation.
NDI has a number of top Democrats on its board. Former Democrat Speaker Tom Daschle is the Chairman of the Board which includes Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Michael McFaul.
Sayara is similar to the Center for Information Resilience.  NDI and USAID are two of its partners.
The Althea Group (AG) is in the healthcare space.
Crowdsource the Truth published a video exposing these details and suggesting that Jankowicz should be registered as a foreign agent under 22 U.S.C. 611 (FARA) on May 16, 2022, she resigned and the board was dissolved on May 18, 2022.
TGP reported that Jankowicz registered as a foreign agent on November 18, 2022, and the Centre for Information Resilience announced she was working for them.
Who was Jankowicz working for in Ukraine and what did she do during the Maidan revolution in Ukraine that toppled the Russian-leaning regime?  Also, who is she working for now and does she still make crazy videos of Mary Poppins’s songs?  
The profile of Nina Jankowicz could be classified as misinformation due to the number of items missing from her profile.  Why was she ever elevated to the Head of the disinformation role in the Biden Administration?

100 Percent Fed Up reports – This morning, around 8:45 am, a 23-year-old Old National Bank employee opened fire in a conference room on the first floor of the downtown Louisville office, killing four bank employees and wounding eight others; one of the critically wounded is a police officer who was one of the first officers to respond to the call for help.

Police confirmed to CNN that Sturgeon had been informed he was going to be fired and that he had left his parents a note indicating he was going to attack the bank.
Two videos were shared on Twitter by local reporter Dalton Godbey showing police officers clearing traffic from the road near the incident.

Moments ago, Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel identified the names of the victims of this morning’s mass murder at the hands of a  23-year-old “suicidal” killer.
She explained, “Officers were on the scene within three minutes. The suspect shot, and officers then return fire and stopped that threat.” She continued saying, “The suspect is deceased,” and added, “This is the only time that I will mention the suspect name in this case. The suspect has been identified as Connor Sturgeon, a white male, 23 years of age, who was employed at Old National Bank. His weapon of choice was a rifle.”
Police Chief Gwinn-Villaroel then named the victims of the suicidal bank employee. “We have five total deceased, which includes him, but I want to acknowledge with heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family of those who lost their life today: Tommy Elliot, 63 years of age Jim Tutt, 64 years of age; Josh Barrick, 40 years of age, and Juliana Farmer 57. All four of the victims of the “suicidal” 23-year-old are pictured below.
Tommy Ellis, 63.
Jim Tutt, 64.
Juliana Farmer, 57
 
Josh Barrick, 40.
 
“We have a total of nine victims who were treated, and are being treated, at the University of Louisville Hospital; three are in critical condition, including our officer; three, who are listed in non-critical condition, and three who have been treated and released,” she said.

“This is the only time I will mention his name.”

Watch the Louisville Police Officer name the victims in her update to the media:

Our nation has a serious mental health issue.
The consequences of COVID lockdowns, the removal of God from our daily lives, the soft-on-crime policies by far-left, George Soros prosecutors and DAs, and the results of public figures like Joe Biden and Barack and Michelle Obama, who’ve been intentionally dividing our nation for over a decade and a half, can no longer be ignored.

Former chief of staff to the acting United States Secretary of Defense under President Donald Trump, Kash Patel, joined Sean Duffy on Kudlow Special Edition on Monday to discuss the explosive Department of Defense leaks that were recently posted online.
Secret details of US analysis of Ukraine War, China, terrorism, Israel, and the Middle East were leaked online in recent weeks. The Biden regime first said the documents were altered. Now they insist this was a serious breach and they do not know the information was leaked out of the DoD.
The documents contain information on Ukrainian losses in the war and an alleged upcoming assault by Ukraine and its allies into Russia-controlled eastern Ukraine.
Kash Patel unloaded on serial liar John Kirby and the inept and dangerous Biden regime.
Kash Patel: What I do know is this from running the intelligence community in the DoD, they sat on this leak for three weeks, at least. We will probably find out it was longer. They tried to get the media to say it was a “false, fake leak.” Then when they got caught a month later they finally said it was a serious classified leak. And let me just tell you, when you talk about Ukraine, war planning operations, China, and the Mossad, the Israeli spy agency, That’s some of the more sensitive collection that we have which only a handful of Americans have access to.
So they’ve known about it, they’ve let it happen, and now they’ve metastasized that problem by just punting the football down the road to hopefully watch it go away. And the rest of the world has been at it, photographing it and manipulating it and using it against America’s interest. And the only thing the Biden administration can tell you is, I don’t know.
Sean Duffy: So it’s interesting you say only a small number of people have access to it, so it shouldn’t be that hard one to figure out who leaked the documents out online, if they were leaked, or do you think we were possibly hacked? Did a foreign entity hack us and then release the documents? What happened here?
Kash Patel: If it’s the latter and we’re talking about foreign entity hacking, we are talking about some of the most sophisticated hacking operations into the DoD network ever. And it would be tragic for America if that were the case. I know a leak of classified information of this nature is felonious and is extremely damaging to national security. But if I were to have to pick between the two, a leak would be better. And you’re right. The DOJ could have came in and investigated this matter early in from Jump Street. And from an intelligence community perspective, what the American public should have been known or told was that we have a leak, it’s under control, and we are not going to let our enemies utilize this information against us. But, no, they sat on it, just like they sat on the facts in Afghanistan, and just like they sat on the facts on our border and anything else to do with national security. And the only people that are harmed are the citizens of this country…
…What’s more shocking is what you just highlighted in the document. They said that essentially the American plan is failing in the Ukraine, according to this classified intelligence leak. But the propaganda from the Biden administration is that we are being wildly successful in the Ukraine. The two cannot coexist. And I think this classified leaks document exposes the lies of the Biden administration and the falsities about pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into a war that we have no business interfering with because we couldn’t even prevent it in the first place. And I think America is about to learn a hard reality check that this government that is supposed to safeguard our national security and take on our adversaries is failing to do both on a monstrous level that’s detrimental to us.

Three years later…
Joe Biden on Monday signed a GOP-proposed bill officially ending the US’s Covid national emergency.
The Biden Regime already planned on ending the Covid national emergency by May 11.
Last month the Senate voted 68 to 23 to end the Covid emergency.
The House already passed the resolution 229-197.
The law ends Title 42, a Trump era policy that blocked aliens seeking asylum from crossing over the US border.
“The new law immediately ends the national emergency and public health emergency first enacted during the Trump administration and continued through the Biden administration. Former President Donald Trump first declared a national emergency over the virus on March 13, 2020, retroactive to March 1 of that year. The declarations allowed for federal funding to be freed up to cities and states for things like testing and vaccination centers.” CBS News reported.

Liz Claman and Nouriel Roubini
Earlier this month well-known American economist Nouriel Roubini announced that most American banks are on the verge of insolvency, and hundreds are already completely bankrupt.

US economists estimated that 186 US banks may be prone to the same risks as Silicon Valley Bank. This number is likely higher as the pressures that regional banks are facing are ramping up.
On Monday top economist Nouriel Roubini joined Liz Claman on FOX Business Network to discuss the banking crisis. Roubini says, “The Worst Is Yet to Come,” in the US banking crisis.

Roubini added, “U.S. banks’ unrealized losses actually amount to $1.75 trillion, or 80% of their capital.”
Nouriel Roubini: I’ve said many of the smaller banks are insolvent because of the very large losses on their holdings on securities. For US banks overall it’s $620 billion in unrealized losses on two trillion dollars of capitol. An even the value of their loans now is underwater… People estimate the overall US banking system has losses of $1.75 trillion assets with capitol at 2 trillion.
