Newsbusters: Why Must the Washington Post Fact Checker Discount the Hunter Laptop Factor?
The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler is criticized for attacking a Media Research Center poll that suggests media bias impacted the 2020 election. Kessler argues that there is no evidence that media bias made a difference in the election result, but the poll suggests otherwise. The poll was conducted by a conservative pollster founded by Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, and while it supported a line pushed by Republicans, it also showed that the story about Hunter Biden's laptop would not have made a difference for most Biden voters.
Kessler is accused of not understanding that the liberal media's suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story suggests that they feared its impact on the election. The Media Research Center suggests that media bias prevented Trump's messaging from getting through to voters, but Kessler argues that the Biden campaign offered more compelling messages to woo voters. Despite Kessler's attack, the poll suggests that media bias was a factor in the election, and the Washington Post's bias may also be at play in Kessler's criticism of the poll.

Liberty Nation: America’s Too Big to Fail Banks Are Getting Bigger
Big banks are gaining more market share as small and mid-size banks struggle to compete with the too big to fail institutions, which can afford to absorb the costs of government regulations. Deposit flight from smaller banks to larger institutions has been especially challenging for the former. The US government and the Federal Reserve may require perpetual bailouts and government subsidies to stay afloat. In contrast, the behemoths deemed too big to fail have acquired more deposits, with JP Morgan Chase accounting for about 14% of total US deposits.
More government regulations and diminishing competition will negatively impact smaller players. Lawmakers are expected to pass more regulations that will negatively affect smaller banks, while chair of the Senate Banking Committee, Senator Sherrod Brown, conceded that alluding to overregulation being part of the banking crisis is incredibly wrong. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation expressed the need for more regulations to prevent a further meltdown. However, it was regulation that caused the crisis in the first place. The growth of large commercial banks raises a philosophical discussion on natural monopolies.
GOPUSA: U.S. faces ‘significant risk’ of breaking debt ceiling in first weeks of June: CBO
The Congressional Budget Office warns that the U.S. government may not be able to pay its debts in the coming weeks without an increase to the debt limit. This warning comes as Democrats and Republicans remain far apart on negotiations over the debit limit. Republicans want spending cuts before they agree to raise the debt limit, while Democrats want the debt limit raised first before discussing spending changes. If the debt limit isn't raised, the government may have to delay payments or default on its debts, which could result in credit market distress, disruptions in economic activity, and rapid increases in borrowing rates for the Treasury.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary warns lawmakers must raise the debt ceiling by June 1 or risk defaulting on U.S. debt obligations. House Republicans recently passed a bill to reduce spending by almost $5 trillion and increase the debt limit by about $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024, whichever comes first. President Joe Biden puts the blame on Republicans, mentioning that their "wish list" could cut thousands of jobs and argues that it doesn't work for families. The CBO report warns of the consequences if the U.S. were to come up short on cash and highlights that the Treasury's funding of government operations will remain uncertain throughout May.

Fox News: Kate Middleton plays the piano in surprise appearance at Eurovision Song Contest: 'Enjoy the show'
Kate Middleton surprised viewers with a pre-recorded piano performance in the opening segment of the Eurovision Song Contest final on Saturday. The Duchess of Cambridge played an instrumental version of the Ukrainian group Kalush Orchestra's song "Stefania" which won the contest last year. Middleton learned to play piano from the age of around 10 or 11 until 13, according to her former instructor Peter Nicholls, and had previously shown off her musical ability at the Christmas concert that she hosted at Westminster Abbey.
Middleton's performance was shared on the official Twitter account for her and her husband, Prince William, who later revealed that it was a pleasure to join the Kalush Orchestra in a special performance of last year's winning Eurovision entry. Middleton wore a bright blue one-shouldered chiffon Jenny Packham dress, a nod to the Ukrainian blue and yellow flag, and a pair of earrings that formerly belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Eurovision's opening montage featured cuts of Middleton, as well as a number of artists performing their own versions of "Stefania" alongside Kalush Orchestra.

The American Spectator: Mary Ball Washington, America’s First Mother
Mary Ball Washington, George Washington's mother, played a significant role in the development of America's first president. Though credited with his principled and moral upbringing, their relationship was laden with difficulty. Mary was described as self-centered and acquisitive, while being cold, austere, and quite the odd character. Despite her personal shortcomings, Mary raised a president, one who understood that religion and morality were indispensable supports for self-governance.
Craig Shirley's biography of Mary Ball Washington provides not only a history of her and her son but also a fascinating character study. Published in 2019, the book received critical acclaim from historians but should be read by millions of Americans, especially in public schools. Mary Ball Washington was the first mother of the nation's first president, and though hard to like, she needs to be remembered, particularly for America's annual celebration of Mothers' Day.
