Why the scare quotes above?
The headline: Biden's student debt forgiveness will cost
taxpayers $400 BILLION over 10 years, non-partisan Congress office says: White House
says announcement is coming soon' on massive cancellation plan (Daily Mail UK,

Frank Camp at The Daily Wire reports:
Fewer than 2% of eligible Americans
have elected to receive a new COVID booster shot, according to
CDC data.
While more than 4.4
million Americans have received a “bivalent” COVID booster shot, only
1.5% of people for whom the shot is available have actually gotten it since the
CDC started recommending it several weeks ago. The latest COVID vaccine
booster is designed with Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 in mind.
The CDC’s COVID vaccine tracker shows
that 67.8% of the U.S. population who are eligible for the vaccine have
completed the primary series of shots. The Bloomberg tracker
shows that 32.5% have received at least one booster.
On September 1, CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky recommended the booster, providing the following statement:
“The updated COVID-19 boosters are formulated to better protect against the
most recently circulating COVID-19 variant. They can help restore protection
that has waned since previous vaccination and were designed to provide broader
protection against newer variants. This recommendation followed a comprehensive
scientific evaluation and robust scientific discussion. If you are eligible,
there is no bad time to get your COVID-19 booster and I strongly encourage you
to receive it.”
As the CDC and many public health
officials are recommending booster shots, the White House is dealing with an
unforced crisis regarding COVID after President Joe Biden said that the
pandemic was “over”
during a recent “60 Minutes” interview. . . .

Donald J. Trump headlines a rally this evening (Apr-23) at the Delaware County
Fairgrounds, his first trip to Ohio since last summer. Trump is slated to
speak at 7 p.m., with around three hours of speakers before him beginning at 4
p.m.
This rally may be a game-changer - - and not for the
better. Trump has been under heavy fire
from Ohio liberty and veteran’s groups for endorsing squish JD
Vance in the Senate race to replace squish Rob Portman. Cleveland Tea Party’s Ralph King
posted this link from Daily Mail reporting on veterans urging Trump to RESCIND
his endorsement of Vance. So one of two
scenarios this evening are likely: 1)
attendance is way down or 2) patriots at
the rally start to boo when Trump introduces Vance. Or perhaps Trump will announce he has indeed rescinded
his endorsement. We can hope.
Links to Right Side Broadcast Network (RSBN) livestreams will be
posted here later today.
UPDATE: The Right Scoop has the RSBN links here.

And now for some good news: The People’s Convoy has reached
Hagerstown, MD – 90 minutes away from the DC Beltway. The Daily Mail is not a usual source for
information, but they have a lot of great photos here.
And tomorrow the convoy from Cleveland heads to the DC area. No “start” time is posted on their website here.
Looks like it might be going on all day.
Honk honk.

The headline at The Daily Mail:
Biden congratulates
Big Bird
for pushing COVID vaccine for kids
after Ted Cruz called it 'propaganda
for
your five-year-old'
And here’s the response from The Babylon Bee:
Oscar The Grouch Refuses The Vaccine,
Stocks Up On Ivermectin
The Bee’s report includes the following:
Oscar the Grouch, who often listens
to Joe Rogan without earbuds—inflicting the podcast on whoever is near his
trashcan—has instead stocked up on Ivermectin—the preferable way for a grouch
to treat COVID-19. “Yeah, you sheeple line the pockets of Pfizer while the
vaccine does who-knows-what to you,” said Oscar. “Me, I’ll be here with my
alternative treatments, being perfectly healthy and perfectly grouchy.”

Carissa Veliz has an unsettling report published on The Daily Mail:
Read this and you won't click 'I agree' ever again:
We're being spied on by phones, computers, TVs, cars –
even the doorbells. Worse, argues Oxford professor
CARISSA VELIZ,we're doing it to ourselves
by giving away our data
Most of us know that our
personal data is being collected, stored and analysed thanks to our
relationship with our mobile phones, computers and the internet. But are we
really aware of the full extent of the privacy invasions into our daily lives?
Let's start at dawn. What is the
first thing you do when you wake up? You probably check your phone.
By doing that, you are informing a
whole host of busybodies – your smartphone manufacturer, app developers and
your mobile company, as well as intelligence agencies (if they happen to be
watching you) – what time you wake up, where you've been sleeping and who you
share a bed with, providing they keep their phone with them too.
If you wear a smart watch it will
have recorded your every movement in bed – including, of course, any sexual
activity. Share a picture or record your thoughts on Facebook, or type a search
into Google,
and that information is tracked and stored.
Perhaps you've run out of sugar and
you decide to ask your neighbour if she has some spare. Standing outside her
door, you notice there's a new smart doorbell, which records images of those
who come near. It's anybody's guess where the footage is going to end up and
what it will be used for.
You turn on your smart TV. It is
probably identifying everything you watch and sending the data to the manufacturer,
third parties, or both.
If you had time to read the privacy
policies of the objects you buy, you would also have noticed that your TV picks
up and records your spoken words and reserves the right to transmit them to
other organisations.
. . .
