When another alleged would-be assassin set his sights on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the room was full of journalists across the political spectrum.

And despite the threat on Trump’s life, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes their coverage of the event has only continued to prove the media’s bias and hypocrisy.

“You would think that when he was almost assassinated again and they were there to witness it, that maybe they might be able to fairly and accurately cover the story, but no, actually, they can’t,” Gonzales says.

“That’s actually just how bad they are and how evil they are. They just, in true arrogant, narcissistic fashion, they just wanted to make it about them,” she continues, before playing a clip of CBS News’ Weijia Jiang.

“This is a room full of reporters. So, I know you’ve already seen the president’s tweet. My apologies, his post on Truth Social,” Jiang said at the WHCD after the attempted assassination. “And law enforcement has requested that we leave the premises consistent with protocol.”

“I said earlier tonight that journalism is a public service because when there is an emergency, we run to the crisis, not away from it. And on a night when we are thinking about the freedoms in the First Amendment, we must also think about how fragile they are,” she continued.

“I saw all of you reporting, and that’s what we do,” she added.

“‘Our job is so dangerous,’” Gonzales comments, mocking Jiang. “‘It’s all about us. … Our freedoms are under attack. The right for us to do our jobs is under attack.’”

“Actually, lady, the reason that we are in the position that we are in, where people are after the president as much as they are, is because you guys continue to misrepresent and distort reality and stir up a bunch of little activists who go on to then try to murder Donald Trump,” she continues.

“So, I’m just not having it from you. I’m really not,” she adds, pointing out that just moments before the attempted assassination, a journalist on CNN said that Trump “figuratively” wants “journalism dead.”

However, the coverage only got worse as the week went on.

“This one is going to take the award for the most disingenuous piece of s**t reporting from the most insufferable and arrogant excuse for a news anchor there is: Norah O’Donnell from ‘60 Minutes,’” Gonzales says.

“The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President. He appears to reference a motive in it. He writes this quote, ‘Administration officials, they are targets.’ And he also wrote this, ‘I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction to that?” O’Donnell asked Trump in an interview.

“Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would. Because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump responded. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“You should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things,” he added.

“We all know what you’re doing,” Gonzales says, referencing O’Donnell. “He knows what you’re doing.”

“Stop embarrassing yourself,” she adds.

As the 2026 primaries ramp up, Democrats may be forced to embrace a scandal-ridden candidate most infamously known for an apparent Nazi tattoo.

Maine’s Democratic Senate primary flew into a tailspin after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the race this week, leaving Graham Platner as the presumptive nominee.

‘He’s a blind date for the Democratic Party.’

Platner pitched himself to voters as a blue-collar veteran, but his talking points were quickly overshadowed by a myriad of scandals, including some politically incorrect comments about black people and, of course, the alleged Nazi tattoo. Notably, Platner has since gotten the tattoo covered up.

“I think this is a democratic rebellion against Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senate establishment,” Democratic strategist Len Foxwell told Blaze News. “We know that Chuck Schumer’s name is mud among rank-and-file Democrats who feel that neither he nor his leadership have been nearly effective enough in counteracting the policies and the rhetoric of this president.”

The frustration with Democratic leadership may be the driver behind the embrace of Platner, who, despite the Nazi controversy, is speaking to an audience that feels disenfranchised by the establishment. These same scandals would be disqualifying for most political candidates, but several Democrats have already begun making excuses for Platner’s political missteps.

“He’s been very clear about the fact that he went into combat on behalf of the United States,” Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said in an interview with Punchbowl. “He went through a really rough period, PTSD-type period, and he has himself said that there are lots of things he’s done and said that he completely regrets. And I do believe people should have second chances and that people can learn from their mistakes.”

Even though Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recruited Mills himself, he is now hesitantly backing Platner as the presumptive nominee to face off with Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

“After years of allowing Trump’s abuses of power, Senator Collins has never been more vulnerable and we will work with the presumptive Democratic nominee Graham Platner to defeat her,” Schumer said in a joint statement with Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

Prominent progressive commentator Adam Mockler was pressed about Platner’s controversial past. CNN’s Abby Phillip listed out some of Platner’s offenses and asked Mockler if it would be acceptable if a Republican candidate were caught in the same scandals.

“I think we’re entering a new era,” Mockler said. “And we’ll see what the base wants. We’ll see who wins when the actual election happens. But for the past decade, Democrats have been unified by our opposition to Donald Trump, and now, Graham Platner has a forward-looking message.”

Although it’s hard to imagine a political landscape where Democrats willingly overlook Platner’s baggage, Foxwell argues that Platner’s appeal is not just pragmatic but also genuine.

“They are more inclined to lash out at the establishment and to take a risk on a blind date, which I believe Graham Platner is,” Foxwell said. “I believe he’s a blind date for the Democratic Party, and he has enormous political upside. He is a strong, natural political athlete, but he is by no means the safest candidate to send against Susan Collins in November. He has a lot of baggage, and Susan Collins is going to have a massive amount of money at her disposal to reinforce those negatives to the electorate.”

“Susan Collins is obligated to make this race against Graham Platner, and Graham Platner’s path to victory is all about making the race about Susan Collins and Donald Trump,” Foxwell added. “Victory is going to go to the one who is ultimately successful.”

With just one month until California’s gubernatorial primary election, the latest polls show the race is still anyone’s game. The big question now is whether Democrats’ failure to rally their support behind a single candidate will result in a disaster for the party.

‘The stakes are so incredibly high.’

California’s primary election operates on a nonpartisan basis. This means that the two candidates who receive the most votes advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation.

Several polls have shown Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and former Fox News host and small business owner Steve Hilton — both Republicans — leading the pack. If California Democratic voters remain split in the primary, there is a chance that Bianco and Hilton could advance as the top two candidates to the general election.

A CBS poll conducted from Apr. 23 to 27 showed that 26% of California voters remain undecided. However, it revealed growing support for Democrats Tom Steyer, a climate advocate and businessman, and Xavier Becerra, a former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, who may be emerging as the Democratic Party’s front-runners.

Fifteen percent of those polled said they would likely vote for Steyer, while 13% selected Becerra. Former U.S. Rep. Katie Porter received 9% of the vote, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and former California State Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa received 4%, and California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond received 1%.

The latest poll showed Hilton securing the most support, with 16% of the vote. Bianco trailed with 10%.

Alternatively, a poll conducted over the same period by Gudelunas Strategies, sponsored by California Is Not For Sale, showed Becerra with a growing lead — nine points ahead of Steyer and one point ahead of Hilton.

Democrats started the primary with eight high-profile candidates. The field narrowed slightly after former State Controller Betty Yee and disgraced former U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race.

Rusty Hicks, the chair of the California Democratic Party, previously urged more Democrats to end their bid in hopes that a clear front-runner will emerge.

Hicks told the Guardian on Friday that the state’s open primary “needs to be revised and repealed.”

“The current system we have does not work,” he said.

“The stakes are so incredibly high,” Hicks continued. “We have democracy itself under attack, and the United States [is no longer] the beacon of hope for democracies around the world the way it once was.”

California will begin sending mail-in ballots out to voters by May 4.

A video of a man walking around in a Ku Klux Klan robe in Rhode Island shocked many into believing racism was making a resurgence — but police say it was something else entirely.

The video shows the man skulking around a gazebo on Main Street in West Warwick at about 2 a.m. Monday and went viral on social media.

‘It’s weird because I know there’s racism around here, but not like that. That’s a whole different level of racism.’

“When you see a pointy hood and two eyeballs staring at you, I mean what the hell else is it?” local Ryan Fitzgerald said. “It didn’t look like the boogeyman. It looked like the KKK to me.”

He added, “It’s weird because I know there’s racism around here, but not like that. That’s a whole different level of racism.”

The hooded man was also caught on surveillance video from a business named Candy’s Curiosities & Vintage. The owner said the video upset her.

“It churned my stomach to watch that,” said Leslie Letourneau.

The video made national headlines and led to an investigation from the West Warwick Police Dept. Only days later, police said the jig was up.

It turns out the video was recorded by Fitzgerald and his brother Sean.

In a press release Friday, police said they had dedicated “significant investigative resources” to the incident and determined that the brothers had “orchestrated the event in an effort to generate attention on social media and in the news.”

The brothers admitted the scheme and provided evidence that they alone were responsible for the incident, according to police. The brothers told WJAR that Ryan wore the robe while Sean filmed him.

They also denounced the KKK, and police found no evidence that the two had any affiliation with the group.

On April 28, at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the Biden administration’s use of the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (which protects access to abortion clinics and other facilities), Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) grilled abortion advocate Jessica Waters and pulled no punches about what “reproductive health care” really means.

The clip of their back-and-forth has gone viral for its powerful exposure of the grim realities of abortion.

On a recent episode of “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat and the panel played the footage and reacted to Gill’s genius questioning strategy.

“You’re an advocate for abortion, for abortion policy. What’s your favorite type of abortion?” Gill asked.

Waters euphemistically replied, “I am an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive health care.”

But Gill doubled down and asked the question again.

When Waters responded that she does not have a preferred method of abortion, Gill launched into a list of different abortive procedures, which he graphically described.

“The first type is called a suction abortion. This is when the cervix is dilated and a strong suction 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner tears the baby’s body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container. Do you prefer that method?” he asked, calling the procedure “gruesome.”

“What about this one?” he continued. “This one is called dilation and curettage. After dilation of the cervix, a sharp looped knife is inserted into the uterus. The baby’s body is cut into pieces and extracted often by suction. Do you prefer that method?”

Waters answered Gill’s questions by saying that she “[stood] by her former testimony” and reiterating that she is “an access to reproductive health care advocate.”

“You don’t want to talk about abortion itself. Why is that? Is it because it’s uncomfortable to talk about? It should be uncomfortable,” Gill followed up before dropping a third and particularly barbaric procedure.

“How about this one? It’s called dilation and evacuation. Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby’s body to dismember him or her. If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it. You prefer that method?” he asked.

Calling abortion “barbaric and evil,” Gill continued, “How about this one? It’s called the saline injection. It’s when a 20% salt solution is injected through the mother’s abdomen into the baby’s amniotic fluid. The baby’s skin is burned off. The baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and hemorrhaging of the brain. Do you prefer that method?”

“I would prefer to talk about the subject of the hearing,” Waters replied.

“This is the subject of the hearing. This is about protests outside of abortion clinics. I’m asking you about abortion,” Gill stated. “ I wouldn’t want to talk about this either if I were you because it is barbaric and evil.”

While Pat and his co-hosts were sickened to hear the horrific details describing abortion procedures, they acknowledge the genius of Gill’s questioning tactics.

“Yes, incredibly difficult to hear and really tough to talk about. But powerful. I mean, that was expertly done,” says Pat.

Not only did Gill force Waters to face the dark reality of what she advocates for, but it also spread necessary awareness.

“That’s on the congressional record forever now,” says Keith Malinak.

“People need to understand what happens during these procedures,” Pat argues.

Kirk Bangstad, the twice–failed Democratic candidate who owns the Minocqua Brewing Company in Wisconsin, turned his fantasizing about President Donald Trump’s death into a marketing strategy.

That strategy appears to have been short-sighted in light of federal law enforcement’s recent interest in the blubbering brewer and his incendiary remarks.

How it started

Bangstad vowed in January to give fellow travelers “free beer, all day long, the day he dies,” then made clear in remarks to reporters and subsequent posts that he was referring to Trump, whom he unsuccessfully attempted to block from the 2024 presidential ballot in Wisconsin.

‘The FBI and Secret Service together followed up on information received.’

In the months since, the brewer has hyped his proposed Trump-death celebration, selling voodoo dolls bearing the faces of Trump administration officials and “I wish it was free beer day” T-shirts.

Bangstad — who derided Charlie Kirk immediately after the Turning Point USA founder’s assassination, circulated a wanted poster for a federal agent, and called for “regime change” in the U.S. — appears to have crossed a line on April 25 where federal law enforcement is concerned.

Less than an hour after an attempt was made on the president’s life at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Bangstad wrote, “Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a a [sic] positive news cycle. We’ll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.”

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and Democratic candidates apparently keen to distance themselves from this particular fellow traveler rushed to condemn Bangstad’s rhetoric as “dangerous and unacceptable.” They were, however, far from the only people paying attention.

How it’s going

On Thursday, Bangstad claimed that he had been contacted both by the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI, then shared a transcript of an alleged voicemail from a USSS agent on Facebook, including the agent’s alleged name and phone number. Bangstad proceeded to tell his followers, “Call this number and ask this secret service agent to stand down and honor his oath to his country.”

In a video the woke brewer uploaded hours later regarding an alleged in-person visit from law enforcement officials, Bangstad again instructed his followers, this time with tears streaming down his cheeks, to inundate the alleged USSS agent with calls.

Bangstad — who was ordered to pay a six-figure sum for defamation in 2023 — reassures his followers in the video that if he should disappear, “it’s because these guys did it, not because I did it.”

He also reiterates through tears that he had apparently doxxed an agent: “And then I copy-and-pasted the voicemail that I was left by the Secret Service, and I pasted that guy’s phone number, and I said, ‘Call this phone number, everybody, and remind this federal agent, remind this federal agent that he has an oath that he took to his country and that he shouldn’t break his oath.'”

He adds, crying, that “this s**t shouldn’t happen to anybody,” that the “federal government shouldn’t be coming after anybody,” and that he wasn’t detained on Thursday but likely only because he’s white.

In closing, he tells his followers that “everyone has to fight their own way.”

In a statement on Friday afternoon, Bangstad continued playing the victim and accused federal agents of trying to intimidate him. He added, “Under no circumstances was the post I made last Saturday, which had me trending nationally on X by Monday, threatening to Trump (notice I didn’t say President Trump).”

As of Friday afternoon, the post with the alleged name and phone number of a USSS agent remains available on the Minocqua Brewing Company Facebook page.

An attorney for Bangstad did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI said in a joint statement to Blaze News, “The U.S. Secret Service follows up on perceived threats against the President of the United States or any one of our protectees. The FBI and Secret Service together followed up on information received and conducted further investigative steps, which included a voluntary interview with the individual. This is an ongoing matter, and we do not have further comment.”

An American tech company is being sued by the Department of Justice for allegedly discriminating against U.S. workers.

Instead of hiring Americans, the company allegedly favored hiring workers with temporary visas, going to bizarre lengths to prevent U.S. workers from being able to properly apply for its vacant jobs.

‘Employers cannot use the PERM sponsorship process as a back door for discriminating against US workers.’

Cloudera is a software company based in Santa Clara, California, that predominantly stores data and was started in 2008 by former engineers from Google, Yahoo, and Facebook.

In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, the DOJ said the company violated the Immigration and Nationality Act by intentionally discriminating against Americans.

The federal lawsuit said the company “upended its normal hiring process and did exactly what the law prohibits. … Cloudera did not consider the applications some U.S. worker candidates submitted because the company earmarked certain jobs for workers on temporary employment visas.”

Cloudera was accused of posting openings for at least seven jobs — paying between $180,000 and $294,000 per year — that asked U.S. applicants to submit applications to a dedicated email address. However, the address did not accept messages from external email accounts, and applicants simply received an error message in response.

Therefore Cloudera did not have any record of a person applying for particular roles, the DOJ stated.

The alleged end result was Cloudera attempting to fill the roles with temporary foreign workers through the permanent labor certification process, while “repeatedly” telling the Department of Labor that it couldn’t find any qualified American workers.

“Employers cannot use the PERM sponsorship process as a back door for discriminating against U.S. workers,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon. “The Division will not hesitate to sue companies who intentionally deter U.S. workers from applying to American jobs.”

The DOJ said an American worker alleged discrimination after attempting to apply to Cloudera via the designated email address but “received a bounce-back notification.”

Cloudera spokeswoman Hannah Fairbanks said in a statement to Blaze News that the company is “proud to hire American workers.”

“We do not discriminate against U.S. workers — or anyone — on the basis of citizenship status. We take the DOJ’s allegations seriously, and from the start, we have cooperated fully with the DOJ’s investigation, which stems from a recruiting email account that was simply not working as intended,” she continued.

“We believe the government’s claims misunderstand both our hiring processes and our intent, and we will address the matter through the appropriate legal channels. Cloudera is committed to fair, lawful, and open recruitment practices, and we will continue to cooperate with the DOJ as we work to resolve this matter. Because this is now pending litigation, we cannot comment further at this time.”

Cloudera is charged with one count of discrimination in hiring: deterring U.S. workers; one count of discrimination in hiring: failing to consider U.S. workers; and one count of discrimination in hiring: failing to hire U.S. workers.

Cloudera had a reported revenue of $869.3 million for fiscal year 2021 and was sold that October in an all-cash deal for approximately $5.3 billion.

You come at the King of Pop, you best not miss.

When critics condemned the new Michael Jackson biopic for ignoring the sexual abuse allegations that haunted the late pop star, audiences had a simple retort: Beat it.

The upstart politician uncorked a banger ad campaign that shredded current California leaders for crushing the City of Angels.

Last weekend, they packed in theaters to give “Michael” a monstrous $97 million stateside haul.

The chasm between critic and general audience has never been bigger.

Now, with those gaudy numbers in hand, Lionsgate is teasing a sequel. And yes, there’s so much left to share about Jackson’s life. That “marriage” to Lisa Marie Presley. The plastic surgery mania that left the singer looking radically different and shockingly frail.

The reliance on surgical anesthetic as a sleep aid, a habit that eventually killed him. Oh, and the numerous court cases and allegations saying he preyed on children.

That’s enough for a whole franchise, but given the Jackson family is still holding the keys to the saga, we’ll have to wait and see if any or all of the above finally gets a close-up …

‘Witch’ watch

Imagining. Reimagining. Rebooting.

Heck, just call it what it is. A desperate attempt to squeeze every ounce out of a horror franchise. We recently learned a “new” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” film is in the works, with the director promising a fresh take on the property.

Let me guess … this time around the human pruning will be emissions-free.

Now, a movie that defined “lightning in a bottle” is coming back. The 1999 found-footage shocker “The Blair Witch Project” caught everyone off guard. The film’s sneaky marketing even tricked some viewers into believing it was a documentary.

The $60,000 flick ultimately became one of the most profitable films of all time — followed by two of the most underwhelming sequels of all time.

Despite this track record, the pitch for another “imagining” of the film (Lionsgate’s word, not ours) is heading to the Cannes Film Festival.

Let’s hope the project’s $10 million budget allows for someone to hold the camera steady …

Ding-a-ling

We thought “Jeopardy” champions were supposed to be smart.

Recent winner Jamie Ding wrapped an epic run on the venerable game show, and he used his 15 minutes of fame to bash … Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

First, he played the “as an immigrant and person of color” card. Wow, we’ve never seen that on our TV screens before. Stop the presses!

But even after 31 consecutive wins, Ding apparently can’t tell the difference between himself and the average undocumented Tren de Aragua member.

Maybe we can help: “What is illegal immigration?”

Jihad to be there

“The Daily Show” isn’t the dumbest program on TV. That dishonor goes to “The View.” But this week, Comedy Central’s creaky fake news flagship threatened to steal the dunce cap from Whoopi and crew with a segment featuring Muslim comedian Mo Amer.

Amer whitewashed reality to both talk up Muslim achievement (fine, good!) and distract from the unrelenting headlines about radical Islamists (bad!). And of course, he wrapped by calling Americans racist for noticing the latter. Naturally.

“So stop using lazy tropes to divide people so you can bomb other countries, creating even more refugees, making you more upset at Muslims in America being doctors or engineers, lawyers, or selling you street meat out of delicious halal carts!”

Memo to Amer: It’s not so much the Muslim doctors who get under Americans’ skin — it’s the Jew-hating, terrorist ones. Although to be fair, some enterprising immigrants manage to pull off both careers.

And by the way, if you’re going to appear on “The Daily Show,” you might want to tell an actual joke or two. You never go the full Kimmel …

As seen on TV

Why does it take reality-show stars to fix our problems? The country elected Donald Trump twice to address the issues ignored by too many politicians, like our porous southern border. Now, “The Hills” alum Spencer Pratt is trying to do the same for Los Angeles.

The upstart politician uncorked a banger ad campaign that shredded current California leaders for crushing the City of Angels.

This is one sequel Hollywood desperately needs — “The Reality-Show Star Strikes Back.” Given the Golden State’s recent history, though, it might never get greenlit.

On April 28, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), speaking at a joint press conference with Council Speaker Julie Menin, declared a “budget crisis of a historic magnitude” larger than any “since the Great Recession,” blaming inherited mismanagement and a structural imbalance with the state.

“We cannot close this deficit with savings alone. We need new revenue. And we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state. … That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget and to do so without imposing a financial burden onto the backs of working people,” he stated.

“When a politician says, ‘We need new revenue,’ it’s not like when you’re working at the S&P, man,” scoffs Glenn Beck. “What that means is we’re going to tax people.”

But to avoid taking the working class, Mamdani is proposing what he always proposes: another “tax the rich” scheme.

There’s only one problem.

“You’ve already taxed [the rich] so much, and you’ve chased them out of your city!” exclaims Glenn.

“It happens every time. Socialism is neat until you run out of somebody else’s money. They’re running out of money. They’re running out of the rich people to destroy. They’re coming after you.”

Mamdani has also floated the idea of extending the timeline for the city to fully fund its pension obligations by pushing the deadline out to the 2040s.

“That’s illegal!” Glenn laughs.

“Highly educated elites,” like Mamdani, he argues, are always the ones who “[start] these revolutions.”

“It’s not the poor people. It’s the highly educated elites who are like, ‘You know what? We have to help all these poor people. I mean, I don’t want to touch them, but we have to help them,’” Glenn mocks.

The stats prove it.

Glenn’s executive producer, Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, points to a 2025 study from Skeptic Research Center that found that Americans with the highest levels of education (graduate or professional degree) are about twice as likely to support political violence than those with less formal education.

Glenn explains that this alarming trend has emerged because universities shifted from teaching “the Scriptures” to pushing “the philosophies of man.”

“And the philosophies of man are so rotted to the core now because there’s no universal truth. There’s no universal truth in science. They’ve made it so science is the exact opposite of faith and of God,” he laments.

“It’s nothing but nonstop arrogance.”

Windows PC users will finally have their dreams come true with the smallest of tweaks by Microsoft.

On Friday, a Windows Insider blog said the company was ready to start rolling out an update that would change a feature that has aggravated users for more than 25 years.

‘The changes we’re rolling out today are focused on giving Windows users more control over their PC experience.’

The Windows blogger said she was excited to share the new update, which came after reading “over 7,621 direct verbatims” over the last few months.

Change is coming to Windows’ auto-update feature, a plague that has forced itself on users for more than a quarter of a century.

The updates started as optional when they were available to users of Windows ’98. However, PC users were robbed of that freedom when updates became automatic with shipments of Windows 2000, which embedded the feature in its software.

All of that is about to scale back.

“Across this feedback there are two key themes that persistently pop out: disruption caused by untimely updates and not enough control over when updates happen,” wrote Windows blogger Aria Hanson. “The changes we’re rolling out today are focused on giving Windows users more control over their PC experience, while keeping devices secure by design and by default.”

Users should be fairly happy with the rollout, and the changes were readily available at the time of this writing.

RELATED: Bill Gates’ world continues to unravel with Epstein probe, foundation layoffs

The update consists of four main tweaks, starting with the ability to skip updates immediately during the “out of box experience.”

This means that when setting up a new computer or buying a new version of Windows, users can avoid lengthy updates that drastically delay the time it takes to get up and running.

Next is the ability to pause updates for as long as needed. This comes in 35-day increments for some reason, but Microsoft says it can be done indefinitely.

“This means you can now re-pause for up to 35 days at a time, with no limits on how many times you can reset the pause end date,” the company wrote.

Return tested this on a PC running Windows 11 and was able to pause updates for “5 Weeks,” or 35 days.

More relief has also come in terms of shutting down or restarting Windows.

“Restarting or shutting down your PC should always be simple, predictable, and on your terms — even with updates waiting to be installed,” Windows said; and everyone agrees.

Windows can now shut down or restart without updating. Previously, this was mandatory. So if a computer crashed or froze and needed to reboot, that update was happening whether the user liked it or not.

Lastly, Microsoft promised more insights on updates and increased transparency on what drivers do.

“Often, driver updates would have similar, if not identical, titles. To help provide you with more insights, we have added the device class to the driver title,” the blog stated.

In the end, the company is promising fewer disruptions, but it will still push a “monthly quality update” to reduce “update experience to a single monthly restart.”

One of the long-standing institutions of right-wing politics has been taken down. But it is not done fighting.

After 27 years, Infowars’ website has officially been taken offline after a protracted legal fight with satire website the Onion.

‘We are committed, and if God stands with us, who can stand against us?!’

Alex Jones, the face of Infowars for nearly 30 years, did a final stream on Thursday night before the final shutdown of operations became official.

Although Jones said that the lights were being shut off at midnight on Thursday and the website would go dark, the fight is far from over.

He directed his audience to his new network, Alex Jones Live. He also suggested that the legal fight was just getting started, saying that he had “royal flushes” in the ongoing legal fight, including whistleblowers.

Nearing the end of his final sign-off, Jones gave a toast: “We commit ourselves to God in this holy fight. We are committed, and if God stands with us, who can stand against us?!”

“Thank you for everything you built with InfoWars, Mr. Jones. We know you won’t stop fighting for the Truth,” the John Birch Society said on X.

“Alex Jones was forced to shut down Infowars tonight. Never forget that free speech is being violated with Trump in office. This country has become a shell of what it used to be,” commentator Morgan Ariel said.

The Onion has attempted to acquire the Infowars domain for years but has hit many snags that have delayed the acquisition.

A father running for office in Oklahoma has been found dead.

On Thursday, the body of Barry Christian, 54, was found inside his vehicle at a wildlife refuge near Erick, a small city in Western Oklahoma, just a few miles east of the Texas panhandle.

‘We are still not sure of everything that happened.’

Christian was reported missing on Wednesday after he failed to appear for a scheduled meeting. He was last seen on Tuesday in Sayre, Oklahoma, about 15 miles from Erick.

The Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Christian was running for the state Senate, and it seems his campaign was active at the time of his death. His Facebook account posted an invite to a meet-and-greet at a rattlesnake festival in Mangum on Saturday.

State election records confirmed that on April 2, he filed to run as a Republican for Senate District 38. On his campaign website, Christian portrayed himself as a pro-Trump “conservative” who supported the First and Second Amendments and opposed open borders and abortion.

Christian’s name will still appear on the ballot for the Republican primary race in June. There are two other candidates in the race, though the incumbent, state Sen. Brent Howard (R), is not one of them. Howard announced last year that he would not seek a third term, NonDoc reported.

Like most of the state, the 38th Senate District is overwhelmingly Republican. President Donald Trump carried some counties in Southwest Oklahoma by upwards of 75% in 2024.

While the political race will carry on, the Christian family is shattered by the loss of Barry, according to a statement from daughter Brooklyn:

Please pray for our family and friends. Our world is upside down right now. We are still not sure of everything that happened, so please act with grace and treat my dad’s legacy with dignity. We’re extremely grateful for everyone who assisted in the search efforts, and all of the media outlets that shared his information. I know there will be lots of people devastated by his passing.

A cause of death has not yet been determined, and the OSBI is still actively investigating this case. When reached for comment, the agency directed Blaze News to its social media page.

A person of interest is in custody after two Kentucky bank employees were fatally shot during a robbery Thursday, the Associated Press reported, citing state police.

The individual is “believed to be involved” in the robbery of a U.S. Bank in Berea, the AP said, citing state police. Berea is about 45 minutes south of Lexington.

‘We’re deeply saddened by the tragic event that took the lives of two of our employees at our Berea, Kentucky, branch earlier today.’

A man wearing a gray-white hoodie, gloves, and a mask entered the bank and shot a male employee and a female employee, the outlet said, citing state police.

State police during a news conference late Thursday night identified the victims as 35-year-old Breanna Edwards and 42-year-old Brian Switzer, WLEX-TV reported.

State police announced the apprehension of the person of interest Friday morning.

CBS News said it’s unclear if the suspect fled from the bank with anything. The robbery and shooting happened just after 2 p.m., WLEX said, adding that state police confirmed that members of the public were in the Chestnut Street bank at the time.

State police told WLEX that the search for the suspect took officials throughout central Kentucky.

Law enforcement officers searched for the suspect driving a silver BMW with Alabama plates, WLEX said. State police told the station the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed Thursday evening before a chase ended in the area of Johnston Road in Fayette County, after which the suspect reportedly was on foot.

U.S. Bank told the AP it was working closely with law enforcement and is committed to supporting the victims’ families and bank colleagues.

“We’re deeply saddened by the tragic event that took the lives of two of our employees at our Berea, Kentucky, branch earlier today,” the company said in a statement, according to the outlet. “Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, our colleagues, and the entire Berea community.”

Berea is about 36 miles south of Lexington, the AP added.
