Kind of odd.

Mother's Day in Britain

The British had a lot of winners at the Oscars. So many wished their moms a "Happy Mother's Day" as they accepted their awards.

Then, there's the Mother's Day photo of Princess Catherine and her children.

UPDATE: The Associated Press and Reuters have removed the photo of Princess Catherine released today from distribution to news organizations.

Harry and Meghan - Alleged 2-Hour High-Speed Car Chase

I lived in Manhattan for 17 yrs & it is not possible to have a 2hr “car chase” there. Too many street lights/stop signs, too much foot/car traffic & hundreds of places you could safely pull over to protect yourself. https://t.co/ABihLDNfBk
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) May 17, 2023

‘I would find it hard to believe that there was a two-hour high speed chase.’

New York Mayor Eric Adams reacts to Prince Harry’s spokesperson saying he and Meghan Markle were involved in a ‘near catastrophic car chase.’

— GB News (@GBNEWS) May 17, 2023

I understand being hounded by paparazzi must be disturbing, but as the death of Harry's mother showed, attempting to get away from them can be catastrophic.
It's not necessary to inflate the truth. This seems to be just another very calculated effort by Harry and Meghan to grab attention and garner sympathy.

Strange nobody in NYC noticed this supposed two hour “near fatal” car chase in a city gridlocked with traffic. And why was Harry and Meghan’s driver going so fast that pedestrians were supposedly in danger. All to stop someone taking a photo in a city full of actual celebrities. https://t.co/dMa1rGp15X
— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) May 17, 2023

Translation: The Harkles are suffering relevance deprivation syndrome and a bad case of jealousy after Kate and William shone at the Coronation. This drama is an attempt to grab the spotlight after nobody in NYC noticed their presence. https://t.co/s7JosFqNPL
— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) May 17, 2023

In other words, they drove aimlessly around Manhattan for almost two hours to create drama and waste NYPD time rather than driving five minutes to their accommodation on the UES. Footage for the next Netflix series? https://t.co/LsgxeLJY9A

Statement from Sukhcharn Singh, the cab driver:

Statement from the cab driver.
“I don’t think I would call it a chase,” Singh said of his period driving the couple. “I never felt like I was in danger. It wasn’t like a car chase in a movie. They were quiet and seemed scared but it’s New York — it’s safe.”

Does this sound like… pic.twitter.com/f6ujvVlOVY
— Nate The Lawyer (@NatetheLawyer) May 17, 2023

It's sick for Harry and Meghan to exploit the death of Princess Diana for their own gain.

Trump: Biden Dissing the Coronation

🚨 Trump says he “was very surprised” Biden will not attend the Coronation, adding “I think it’s very disrespectful for him not to be here”.pic.twitter.com/wyEYgZGd04
— Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) May 3, 2023

Biden is sending Jill to represent the U.S. He'll be spending the weekend in Delaware, of course.
While no U.S. president has attended a British royal coronation, Biden shows no interest in wanting to make history by being the first. I don't think he cares or even knows about the coronation. I doubt that he's put any thought into it at all.
We all know the reason the Big Guy won't attend is because he doesn't have the energy to make the trip. Jill probably thought she'd have more fun if she didn't have to babysit Joe. She probably encouraged him to spend the weekend napping.

And it's nothing short of that blatant."

"This is probably one of the worst times we've seen because the numbers of people elected to Congress. I went through this as co-chair of the arts caucus. In '94 people were elected simply to come here to kill the National Endowment for the Arts. Now they’re here to kill women."

"The protesters have proven today that they‘re not going away. It was a pretty rough night last night. You can imagine if people said, well, we just can‘t fight the power. Instead, this morning, they came by tens, by hundreds, by thousands. By midday today, it was easily more than 10,000, perhaps as many as 15,000 people on the square here in Madison. Not organized by anyone, just grassroots citizens who came out just like the Minutemen in 1776."

--JOHN NICHOLS

"They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own -- they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it. I think we need to go back to taxing these people at the proper rates."

"So I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strongly they feel -- you know, we have three branches of government. We have a House. We have a Senate. We have a president.

"And the instructions are not to improvise a comedy sketch, but to elect a group of unqualified, unstable individuals who will do what they are told, in exchange for money and power, and march this nation as far backward as they can get, backward to Jim Crow, or backward to the breadlines of the '30s, or backward to hanging union organizers, or backward to the trusts and the robber barons.

"Result: the Tea Party. Vote backward, vote Tea Party. And if you are somehow indifferent to what is planned for next Tuesday, it is nothing short of an attempted use of democracy to end this democracy."

They're just, they're afraid of a mosque being built in New York. They're afraid of guns. You know, they think Obama, who like every other pussy Democrat has never said a single word about gun control, but they are very sure that he and his Negro army are coming after their guns.

And, um, it just, it doesn't make sense to me that when you google this subject, if you put in 'Arizona S.B. 1070,' that you see a picture of the governor of Arizona meeting with President Obama in May of 2010.
