BREAKING THIS AM… MORE CONSUMER INFLATION INCOMING… CNBC: Wholesale prices rose 10.8% in May, near a record annual pace

Wholesale prices rose at a brisk pace in May as inflation pressures mounted on the U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday.

The producer price index, a measure of the prices paid to producers of goods and services, rose 0.8% for the month and 10.8% over the past year. The monthly rise was in line with Dow Jones estimates and a doubling of the 0.4% pace in April.

Excluding food, energy and trade, so-called core PPI rose 0.5% on the month, slightly below the 0.6% estimate but an increase from the 0.4% reading in the previous month. On a year-over-year basis, the core measure was up 6.8%, matching April’s gain.

The two PPI measures remained near their historic highs — 11.5% for headline, and 7.1% for core, both hit in March.

The data is significant in that prices at the wholesale level feed through to consumer prices[…]

33 MINUTES ELAPSED FROM THE MOMENT WOULD-BE KAVANAUGH ASSASSIN SAW COPS TO THE MOMENT HE CALLED 911 ON HIMSELF… HIS SISTER URGED HIM TO DIAL 911… WAPO: Man accused in Kavanaugh plot texted sister before surrender, police say

Just what prompted Nicholas Roske to go from an alleged plot to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to calling 911 and surrendering near the justice’s home is of great interest to investigators continuing to probe the alarming incident from last week.

Court records say that after Roske flew in from California and got out of a taxi near the conservative justice’s home in Chevy Chase, Md., just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, he saw two deputy U.S. marshals standing outside their vehicle and he walked away. But another factor may also have played an important role.

While walking along the narrow, leafy streets of Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, Roske contacted his sister, officials said.

“The suspect arrived by taxi and observed the U.S. marshals, and he turned around to contemplate his next move,” according to Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones. “This is when he texted his sister and told her of his intentions, and she convinced him to call 911, which he did.” […]

[A]ccording to court records and Montgomery County 911 recordings, approximately 33 minutes passed from the time Roske allegedly saw the marshals — and the marshals saw him — to when he called 911. During that time, he walked around the corner from the justice’s home and positioned himself about 1½ blocks away.

MCCARTHY SAYS PELOSI IS ‘TRYING TO DELAY’ SUPREME COURT SECURITY PACKAGE… NR: McCarthy Accuses Democrats of ‘Jeopardizing People’s Lives’ by Stalling Supreme Court Safety Bill

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday expressed frustration after House Democrats declined his third request for unanimous consent to quickly advance a bill to increase security for Supreme Court justices.

McCarthy has tried several times over the past week to advance the measure — which passed the Senate last month but has stalled in the Democrat-controlled House — after authorities foiled an alleged assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday.

“For the 3rd time in a week, I’m calling for a vote for stronger security for Supreme Court Justices—ALL of them,” McCarthy said on Twitter. “This isn’t partisan. The threat is real. Why is Speaker Pelosi blocking something that the Senate has already passed unanimously?” […]

“You’re trying to delay it,” he said. “That’s exactly what you’re doing.”

BIDEN PREPS TO BEG SAUDIS FOR OIL… Biden To Visit Saudi Arabia After Once Vowing To Make Them A ‘Pariah’ During 2019 Debate

President Joe Biden will visit Saudi Arabia in mid-July, the White House confirmed Tuesday following weeks of speculation.

While in Saudi Arabia, the president is expected to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a senior administration official told the press, according to Axios. The upcoming visit is particularly notable because Biden vowed to make Saudi Arabia “the pariah that they are” during a Democratic debate in 2019.

In a statement confirming the trip, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made no mention of Biden’s past promise. Instead, Jean-Pierre noted that Saudi Arabia “has been a strategic partner of the United States for nearly eight decades” and said Biden is looking “forward to this important visit.”

DESPERATE DEMS RUN AGAINST DEM-CONTROLLED WASHINGTON… AP: Vulnerable Dems run against Washington — and their party

Just like endangered Democrats in other states, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is running against Washington. […]

Many of the nation’s most vulnerable Democrats are actively trying to distance themselves from Washington — and their party. Responding to deep frustration from voters who will decide their fate in November, Democratic candidates in swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Hampshire are railing against the institutions their party has managed for the last 16 months.

It is a strategy born of necessity given the political climate Democrats are facing in 2022: President Joe Biden remains deeply unpopular and an overwhelming majority of U.S. adults believe the country is moving in the wrong direction. The Democrats who control Congress have failed to deliver on core campaign promises, and perhaps most concerning, the cost of basic goods like groceries and gasoline is soaring under their watch. The nationwide average price for a gallon of gasoline topped $5 for the first time ever over the weekend.

DEMS HAVE BEEN SPENDING CASH TO SUPPORT JAN 6 ATTENDEES… FREE BEACON: The Naked Jan. 6 Political Calculation

The same folks droning on about the existential danger of former President Donald Trump are boosting some of his most fervent supporters—in a couple of cases, men who literally marched on the Capitol on Jan. 6—because they think it’ll help Democrats in November.

In Pennsylvania, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Josh Shapiro, spent more money on a single ad boosting one of the Republican candidates, Doug Mastriano, than Mastriano’s entire television budget. Mastriano, of course, spent thousands of dollars in campaign funds to bus supporters to the “Stop the Steal” rally. […]

Out in Colorado, [… a] Democratic super PAC spent $800,000 in a single week to buoy state representative and Senate candidate Ron Hanks, another diehard Donald Trump fan who showed up for the former president’s last stand at the Ellipse.

WAPO NOTICES… WAPO: Democratic meddling in GOP primaries prompts concern over elevating election deniers

Joey Gilbert has said he has “not a single regret” about being in Washington during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by a mob supporting President Donald Trump and does not accept that Trump lost the 2020 election.

Ron Hanks was outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 and described the attack as a “peaceful rally.” He is campaigning for an office in the building as a senator representing Colorado.

And Darren Bailey said in December 2020 it was “appalling” that GOP leaders in his home state of Illinois wanted Trump to concede the election. He’s vying to become the state’s governor.

All three have something else in common: They’re benefiting, either directly or indirectly, from a cluster of Democratic-associated groups spending millions of dollars in contested Republican primaries this month. In some cases these groups are attacking more mainstream Republicans and in others they are amplifying messages from the election-denying candidates.

INFIGHTING AMONG WOKE LEFTIES BRINGS THEIR ORGANIZATIONS TO A GRINDING HALT… RYAN GRIM: Meltdowns Have Brought Progressive Advocacy Groups to a Standstill at a Critical Moment in World History

“To be honest with you, this is the biggest problem on the left over the last six years,” one concluded. “This is so big. And it’s like abuse in the family — it’s the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. And you have to be super sensitive about who the messengers are.” […]

“So much energy has been devoted to the internal strife and internal bullshit that it’s had a real impact on the ability for groups to deliver,” said one organization leader who departed his position. “It’s been huge, particularly over the last year and a half or so, the ability for groups to focus on their mission, whether it’s reproductive justice, or jobs, or fighting climate change.” […]

“My last nine months, I was spending 90 to 95 percent of my time on internal strife. Whereas [before] that would have been 25-30 percent tops,” the former executive director said. He added that the same portion of his deputies’ time was similarly spent on internal reckonings.

POLL: AMERICANS DON’T WANT MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS… WAPO: Most Americans oppose trans athletes in female sports, poll finds

Even as an increasing share of Americans report familiarity with and tolerance for transgender people, most oppose allowing transgender female athletes to compete against other women at the professional, college and high school level, according to a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.

The poll, conducted May 4 through 17 among 1,503 people across the United States, finds 55 percent of Americans opposed to allowing transgender women and girls to compete with other women and girls in high school sports and 58 percent opposed to it for college and professional sports. About 3 in 10 Americans said transgender women and girls should be allowed to compete at each of those levels, while an additional 15 percent have no opinion.

FREE BEACON: Virginia Judge Kicks Soros Prosecutor Off Case for Concealing Criminal Records

Virginia judge has kicked a George Soros-funded prosecutor off a case involving potentially a dozen burglaries in multiple counties, saying the prosecutor’s office had concealed criminal records to “sell” a plea bargain.

Loudoun County circuit court judge James Plowman said the office of Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj (D.) was “deliberately misleading the Court and the public” about “a possible 12 burglary crime spree spanning 4 counties over 10 days.” In a plea agreement, Biberaj’s office failed to note the offender had recently pleaded guilty to felonies and had pending charges and prior convictions as a minor, according to Plowman. Fox 5 on Saturday first reported on the judge’s order to remove Biberaj from the case.

“The Commonwealth is deliberately misleading the Court, and the public, in an effort to ‘sell’ the plea agreement for some reason that has yet to be explained,” Plowman wrote in his order.

IAN PRIOR: That makes three cases in 8 months from which she’s been disqualified.

VIRGINIA AG OFFERS TO PROSECUTE BURGLARY SUSPECT… FOX 5: Virginia AG prepared to take over Loudoun prosecutor’s serial burglar case

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – After a Loudoun County judge removed the local Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office from a case, the Virginia attorney general says his office is prepared to step in, calling the move “unprecedented.”

On Monday, Attorney General Jason Miyares wrote a letter to the chief judge for the 20th Judicial Circuit saying it’s clear the court “has rightfully lost confidence” in Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj and her office. Miyares said his office is ready to prosecute or assist with the case if needed.

The case involves a burglary suspect, Kevin Enrique Valle, accused in 12 burglary cases across four Northern Virginia counties, including Loudoun.

FLASHBACK… FRIDAY… LOUDOUN PROSECUTOR SAYS VOTERS NEED TO STOP HASSLING HER… BUTA BIBERAJ, IN WAPO: The endless recalls in Virginia are pointless and must stop

In November 2019, the voters of Loudoun County made history, choosing a new path for a safer, fairer justice system. The voters gave me the most votes ever for a commonwealth’s attorney, electing the first immigrant, the first woman and first Muslim American as Loudoun’s top prosecutor. […]

In July, a Fairfax County-based right-wing group made the trip west to Leesburg to announce a recall campaign against me, and began gathering signatures for that effort. […]

This recall attempt is intended to intimidate me and prevent me from doing the job Loudoun County voters elected me to do.

PA LAWMAKERS START PROCESS TO RECALL PHILLY DA… CBS PHILLY: Pennsylvania House Republicans Initiate Process To Impeach DA Larry Krasner: ‘Widespread Lawlessness In The City Of Philadelphia’

HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) – Pennsylvania House Republicans have initiated the process to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner due to what they call “unchecked crime.” Three House Republican members from Western Pennsylvania — Reps. Josh Kail, Torren Ecker, and Tim O’Neal — say they have been drafting articles of impeachment involving Philadelphia’s DA since the South Street mass shooting.

Last week, three people were killed and 11 were injured in a shooting on Philadelphia’s popular South Street. This was the “final straw” in their decision to seek impeachment.

DC MAYOR ALTERS AMERICAN FLAG ON FLAG DAY… FOX 5: Mayor Bowser adds 51st star to American flags displayed on Pennsylvania Ave for Flag Day

WASHINGTON – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday ordered 51-star American flags to be displayed along Pennsylvania Avenue ahead of Flag Day, June 14.

The mayor said she directed her team to hang the 51-star flags “as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, D.C. demand to be recognized.

“On Flag Day, we celebrate American ideals, American history, and American liberty. But the very foundation of those ideals, and the basis for our liberty, is representation,” Mayor Bowser said in a statement. “DC’s disenfranchisement is a stain on American democracy – a 220-year-old wrong that demands to be righted.”

CALLING ALL PATRIOTS: Many members of the Democratic Party are quietly hoping President Joe Biden doesn’t run again in 2024, according to a Saturday article from The New York Times. Patriots, which Democrat would you least like to see run in 2024 if Biden chooses to not seek re-election? Let us know in the form .

One of the biggest challenges for Saturday Night Live on a weekly basis is managing expectations when it comes to the show’s hosts. If a Josh Hutcherson or LeBron James episode turns out to be not-half-bad, we’re all pleasantly surprised and relieved since the bar wasn’t that high. But when a reliable comic dynamo shows up — Justin Timberlake, Alec Baldwin, Melissa McCarthy — hopes get raised to potentially unrealistic proportions, possibly resulting in a perfectly OK episode that ends up feeling disappointing because we expected more.

SNL found itself in that uncomfortable position last night when beloved former cast members Tina Fey and Amy Poehler cohosted the final show before Christmas. Both enormously talented, both incredibly game, both there to promote their better-than-average new comedy Sisters , Fey and Poehler were consistently appealing in exactly the way you sorta assumed they would be. Tina pulled out her Sarah Palin; Amy did a little Hillary Clinton, later reprising Bronx Beat with special guest Maya Rudolph. Every sketch — including the “Bad Blood”-mocking parody video “Dope Squad,” about the nannies and gynecologists that help keep Fey and Poehler’s lives running smoothly — was concise and clever, but very few of them were outright surprising or wildly uproarious. (Even Amy Schumer’s cameo in “Dope Squad” felt oddly expected considering the breakout year she’s had.)

If this had been Miley Cyrus hosting, we’d all probably been singing hallelujah. But it’s the unfortunate downside to how much pleasure Fey and Poehler have given us over the years that “good” from them isn’t necessarily good enough.

Meet Your Second Wife

“Meet Your Second Wife” was a textbook example of how to squeeze everything out of a simple premise by playing the ridiculous conceit straight and without embellishment. The tiny details were what made it perfect: Leslie Jones’ silently angry glare at Thompson; Aidy Bryant’s shock at discovering that Killam will remarry after she dies in a freak kayak accident (by the way, everyone goes home with a free kayak); and the inexplicable fact that Poehler was playing a fictional host while Fey was playing herself. What was especially funny was the skit’s underlying, unspoken point — which was that, as much as men pretend to be horrified by other men’s penchant for marrying ridiculously younger women as their second wife, none of the contestants are ultimately that surprised to learn their future.

Weekend Update: Deenie Recaps What’s Going On in Her Stories SNL faithful have waited — and waited and waited — for some sort of rapport to develop. Last night didn’t exactly find them turning the corner, but at least the jokes were a little funnier than usual, and Che didn’t bobble a single line delivery. This is progress! Still, having Fey and Poehler come on at the end of the segment only reminded viewers how much tighter and tarter their anchoring duo was back in the day.

But the “Weekend Update” highlight was Kate McKinnon’s bang-up job as Deenie, a middle-aged mom sporting a garish Christmas sweater who did a recap of the year’s highlights in her favorite soap operas. In between mouthfuls of baked salmon she ate out of a Tupperware container, Deenie quickly revealed she doesn’t actually know the names of any of the characters — whom she refers to as Mustache, Perfect Skin, Sexpot and Big Boobs — or even the name of the soap opera. (She just knows it’s on before the one “that has the piano music at the beginning.”)

McKinnon’s Hillary from earlier in the show was predictably nasty, but Deenie catches you off-guard because it was unexpected and wonderfully dopey. When McKinnon cracked up Jost, he seemed to be responding to her laser-like commitment to this birdbrained character, yet another of her fabulous “Weekend Update” creations.

Special Offer SNL can’t get enough of variety-show parodies, but this one was especially on-point, as former TV hosts Chad and Victoria Douglas (Killam and Vanessa Bayer) hawk a DVD featuring Christmas highlights from their old show. What follows is a hilarious tire fire of boozy and coked-up has-beens plowing their way through yuletide classics. (Rudolph, portraying a drunken torch singer flinging presents at frightened kids while garbling “12 Days of Christmas,” reminded everyone why her ballsy, brash comedic spirit still hasn’t found its proper outlet since she left SNL .)

Poehler was gold as a bugged-out singer high on cocaine, but “Special Offer” went for the jugular with Fey portraying one-half of an uncomfortable duet of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” — the other half turned out to be none other than Thompson’s googly-eyed Bill Cosby. The joke may be a bit played-out in two ways — Cosby-is-a-horrible-rapist bits aren’t exactly new, and Funny or Die pointed out the ungodly creepiness of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” just this week in a video co-starring former SNL performer Casey Wilson — but the quick-strike economy of “Special Offer’s” final gag made sure the sketch stuck the landing.

Kimberley Walsh takes part in Carex’s ‘Touch Test’

“I mean, my side of the family in particular is musical for generations going back so I kind of hoped that they would inherit those genes a little bit.”

However, Kimberley went on to explain that she was hesitant about “pushing” her kids into the limelight.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be pushing them down that route because it is tough and it can be a tough area to go into,” she said.

“But it is really nice to see how much my son enjoys expressing himself and dancing and singing and making up his own music and stuff. It’s really nice to see.”

“I like watching it and I’m quite happy to sit there and be entertained for hours.”

Apart from spending lots of time with her adorable family, Kimberley has also joined up with the Wickes Community Programme, which will help transform a community in need.
