PA: In Erie, School Shooting Followed By Teacher Walkout

On Tuesday (4/5) at 9:30 AM, the school day at Erie High School was interrupted by a shooting. Several shots were fired within the building, with one person injured. There was, of course, a lockdown (more about that in a moment) and a hefty police response. The shooting was described as "an isolated, targeted incident." These days, I guess, it's good-ish news if a school shooting is committed by one student with a particular beef with another student, and not some sort of grandiose attempt to terrorize the entire school.

Iraq’s oil exports dipped from 3.314 million barrels a day in February to 3.24 million in March. That didn’t matter because oil prices continued to climb.

Democrats revive the Obamacare lies

Matt Vespa: I wanted to vomit yesterday. We're back to this tired game again. The Obamacare messaging wars will never end, and they will never get old. It's another part of the left's sustained gaslighting campaign. Biden touted the number of Americans who now have insurance through Obamacare. This was never the original intention of Obamacare—it was all marketed as legislation that would cut costs, some $2 trillion over a decade. That didn't happen. Remember when Obama said, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it"? That was PolitiFact's 2013 Lie of the Year. What ... read more

Washington Free Beacon: A majority of U.S. voters oppose President Joe Biden's plan to repeal Title 42, the immigration policy implemented by the Trump administration during the pandemic that allows the United States to swiftly expel illegal immigrants, according to a new poll. The Morning Consult/Politico poll, which surveyed more than 2,000 registered voters this week, found 56 percent of all voters disagree with the administration's decision to rescind Title 42.
