I see the @AP has (belatedly) stealth-edited its "book ban" report. The headline now reads: "Amanda Gorman’s poem for Biden’s inauguration barred for younger children by Florida school" (which is still inaccurate), and no correction.

Same story an hour ago: Image @AP The books are still in the library, and the school hasn't restricted access to them. They just moved them to another section.

Joe Biden has spent the past week making a series of claims about oil companies, profits, and taxes that are easily provable lies. And yet not one MSM factchecker has bothered to investigate - not @snopes, not @PolitiFact, not @factcheckdotorg, not @AP or @washingtonpost. @snopes @PolitiFact @factcheckdotorg @AP @washingtonpost These Biden claims are easy enough to check based on quarterly reports. I began with ExxonMobil's Q1 report last Saturday after Biden accused them of making "more money than God" and not paying taxes. (2/x)

@kriscoratti @cameronbarr @TaylorLorenz The last claim is false. The original story had a link to her professional license complete with an address for her. @washingtonpost later stealth-edited it out of their article. This dishonesty seems of a piece with the whole report. @kriscoratti @cameronbarr @TaylorLorenz @washingtonpost Just FYI, I was hardly the only one to notice.

Happy Easter, all!

If you're looking for great faith-based entertainment today, "Father Stu" in the theaters and well worth the ticket price (1/x):

hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2… If you're more interested in sticking around the house, don't forget 2016's "Risen," perhaps the best in class of recent faith-based films and exactly on point for an Easter viewing. (2/x)

To recap, since some people still want to argue Cuomo's point (thread):

1. "Fredo" is a singular insult regarding intelligence, not a group insult. 2. Other than being the name of a Godfather character, has nothing to do with being Italian. It has to do with being stupid, weak, and incompetent.

Be sure to read @allahpundit's excellent ongoing analysis of The Memo. I'm off today nursing a sore jaw, but here are a few of my thoughts about the memo (thread):

hotair.com/archives/2018/… (A) Most of what's in this memo has been either leaked prior to this or assumed, including the revelation that the FISA warrant relied in part on the Steele dossier. However, the memo makes clear that the Russia-collusion probe started well before that, with Papadopoulos.
