[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A liberal pundit who worked for the New York Times has sparked outrage after openly wishing for the death of former President Joe Biden in a shocking social media post.
Taylor Lorenz, who now contributes to former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan's website, expressed disappointment when she realized a false report about Biden's death wasn't true. Taylor Lorenz is an awful human and any ill that befalls her is karma
The controversial journalist responded to a post falsely claiming 'RIP Joe Biden 1942-2025' by writing 'This tweet got my hopes up' followed by a sad face emoji.
The original post stated: 'You were always a racist f***ing monster, and will not be missed,' alongside an old photo of Biden.
'Buddy, he was a walking corpse in the White House. We all watched elder abuse in real time. The only person who wishes for Biden's death more than anyone else is Biden himself.'
Multiple new books have detailed how Democrats conspired to lie about the 82 year-old former president's declining health, only for it to be revealed at a June 2024 debate which forced Biden to step down and may have cost the party the election.
The message appeared to be based on Biden's policies on the Gaza war while president - an issue Lorenz has frequently criticized.
The post quickly went viral Sunday morning as horrified users shared screenshots of her disturbing comment.
A reporter for the Free Beacon retweeted her post, writing: 'A writer for @mehdirhasan publicly wishes death on President Biden.'
'She's just raw-dogging
…the internet defines it as having s3x without a condom, which I suppose is riskier and more abusive by some than others…
social media now,' one user commented.
Another commented: 'It's hard to find words that capture just how repugnant and detestable Taylor Lorenz can be.'
'Well he has always been a racist and not smart but, don't wish death on him, it'll come soon enough for him,' another user commented.
Some agreed with her shocking take: 'Buddy, he was a walking corpse in the White House. We all watched elder abuse in real time. The only person who wishes for Biden's death more than anyone else is Biden himself.'
Many slammed Hasan's media platform, saying they weren't surprised by Lorenz's comments after Hasan's own history of controversial comments.
'Mehdi Hasan's @zeteo_news has featured multiple writers who've expressed joy at the thought of dead Israelis. Now his writers are expressing the same about Americans-including a former U.S. president,' one user wrote.
In February, Hasan called for more plane crashes in America amid a spate of tragedies, then claimed he was a victim of Islamophobia after being condemned.
This isn't the first time Lorenz has courted controversy either.
She has built a reputation for divisive commentary during her time at both the New York Times and Washington Post. In December of last year, Lorenz doubled down on her unsympathetic comments she made about the death of UnitedHeath's CEO. oThe former Washington Post journalist sparked outrage after she appeared to celebrate Brian Thompson being gunned down in Manhattan.
Lorenz has since defended her sentiment in an interview with TMZ amid the backlash, telling critics it's important to consider context.
'Let me just be super clear. No, we should not murder CEOs. No, we should not go around shooting people in the street. That is the wrong lesson to take from this,' Lorenz said.
She said her social media posts aligned with the beliefs of America's masses.
'When you see the entire internet, left and right, united around one thing, and that is celebrating the death of a healthcare CEO, you have to ask why.
'UnitedHealthcare has murdered thousands of Americans by denying them coverage.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Despite being told to not attend town halls amid protests, Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) did not take a break last weekend. Instead, the Ukrainian-born Indiana congresswoman showed up and took tough questions from voters, some of whom were angry at her over her support for Trump and comments on Ukraine. She held another town hall the next day.
Spartz, the only member of Congress born in the embattled country, did not hold back in a recent interview with The Telegraph before the town halls, she said Ukraine might have to accept losing territory to Russia if it wants to avoid total collapse.
"I just don't see how they (Ukraine) can be positioned to demand to keep the land. If they would be winning the war, that will be very different,'' Spartz said. She backed Trump's idea of negotiating with Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... and criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying, ''There are no easy solutions.''
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has said that if the Trump administration plans to have a military parade in the nation's capital, that the parade should be "accompanied with millions and millions of dollars to repair the roads."
Reports have indicated President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... is planning on hosting a military parade in Washington, DC on June 14 to mark the 250th anniversary of the US Army as well as his 79th birthday. Bowser was asked about the reports during a presser.
She was asked by a news hound, "The first time that the President was in office, he had talked about military tanks running down Pennsylvania Avenue. There was some pushback from the city. Yeah. Would you have the same kind of pushback?"
"Yeah, military tanks on our streets would not be good. If military tanks were used they should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads. ... The other thing I'll note is, I think our initial report is that it would be starting from Virginia, from Arlington," Bowser said.
The news hound noted that the parade would be starting at the Pentagon in Arlington, and the mayor said that Department of Homeland Security had "reached out" to the special events taskforce, which is in charge of events such as parades.
Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karantonis said of the plans regarding the military parade, "It's not clear to me what the scope of a parade would be. But I would hope the federal government remains sensitive to the pain and concerns of numerous [military] veteran residents who have lost or might lose their jobs in recent federal decisions, as they reflect on how best to celebrate the Army's anniversary."
[CommonDefense] President Donald Trump appears to be planning a military parade in Washington, D.C., that would celebrate both the 250th anniversary of the United States Army and his own 79th birthday on June 14th.
The move has already drawn sharp criticism from familiar corners of the media and the political class, but for many conservatives, it reflects a patriotic commitment to honoring the men and women who defend this nation.
According to a report from Washington City Paper, Arlington County Board Chair Takis Karantonis
…immigrant Greek-American with an MA in economics from Berlin’s Freie Universität and a whole bunch of languages, suggesting high likelihood he is a Progressive even before his snide comments about the president…
disclosed that the White House had given local officials a “heads up” about a possible military parade stretching four miles through the capital.
While no official announcement has been made, Karantonis noted the early warning came last Friday.
“It’s not clear to me what the scope of a parade would be,” Karantonis said.
“But I would hope the federal government remains sensitive to the pain and concerns of numerous [military] veteran residents who have lost or might lose their jobs in recent federal decisions, as they reflect on how best to celebrate the Army’s anniversary.”
The criticism is not unexpected. The mainstream media and progressive commentators have long framed any display of military strength as dangerous or authoritarian—especially when associated with Donald Trump.

As long as the money is actually used to fix the streets, probably a good idea. Don't let the DC gov touch any of it.

C-17 with "Trumpteenth" nose art departs Bagram.
[PJMEDIA] The White House explained that a number was mistakenly saved during a ''contact suggestion update'' on then-Rep. Michael Waltz's iPhone. This feature automatically adds a new number to an existing contact if the phone's algorithm detects a possible connection. The error went unnoticed until March, when Waltz tried to add a contact to a Signal group chat but accidentally included the number of Jeffrey Goldberg instead. This led to Goldberg being added to a sensitive message chain discussing U.S. plans for strikes against the Houthis.
President Trump chose not to fire Waltz partly because he didn't want The Atlantic and the broader media to take satisfaction in pushing out a top cabinet member so soon into his second term. Trump was also reassured by the findings of an internal investigation. ''Waltz also appears to have also engendered some sympathy from inside Trump's orbit over the group chat because the White House had authorized the use of Signal, largely because there is no alternative platform to text in real time across different agencies,'' the report explained.

That's some weak sauce there. I don't want anyone fired. But its garbage to pretend there weren't other ways to hold this discussion. We lived thru WWI and WW2 but somehow we're magically supposed to believe there aren't ways to hold truly confidential conversations?
