Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Kalavumbra was quite indulgent with the Necco Wafers before hot yoga trivia night.Â

Of course, I will begin by thanking my friends Chris Queen and Kevin Downey Jr. for enabling me to have a perfectly magical Easter weekend with my loved ones. It was the first time in probably 20 years that I’ve been with my immediate family for a holiday, and the first time in eight years that my daughter and I had gotten to spend Easter together. Her boyfriend passed the “Meet the Michigan family” test, including a fairly buzzed “dad talk.” The whole thing was topped off yesterday morning when we found out that #KruiserKid — a Twitter/X legendary hashtag — passed the New York bar exam. Nothing but proud dad vibes all around here.Â
Regulars here know that I am very passionate about and dedicated to my work, but when I’m not working, I’m really, really, double-secret probation not working. The only way I’ll check the news is if I hear a warhead whistling towards me. And then it’s a little to late.Â
Because of that most necessary habit, when I resurface into the weekday political news cycle it’s like getting hit with a firehose of ice water that’s mixed with fresh ghost pepper sauce. Yes, I know that the Year of our Lord 2025 version of the Democrats are thoroughly awful, but the “Oh yeah” reawakening is redolent in brusqueness.Â
Here is my main point in everything that is going on right now: the worst thing that the Democrats are lying about what President Trump is doing isn’t as bad as the least worst thing they are actually doing. These are not good people. Well, the people who are running the Democratic Party down through the circles of Hell aren’t, anyway. There is a wealth of “these people are mind-numbingly awful” material out there.Â

Sarah pulled me back into the political maelstrom with the headline “Why Can’t They Just Blame the Rule Breakers for Once?“
THANK YOU.
The absence of accountability has been bedeviling the Republic for far too long now. It is what has gotten us into almost every mess we’re in. It’s easy to make the case that it’s a bipartisan problem, but it is even easier to prove that it’s the Democrats who benefit the most from not getting a comeuppance often enough.
My good friend and partner in thought crime Stephen Green wrote a column yesterday about the unmitigated chicanery of the Democrats’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media:
This was the biggest and worst cover-up in American history. We had an administration with no president, effectively run by whoever could get to the autopen first, and the people tasked with reporting the facts lied to our faces.
I only single out Collins today for a couple of reasons. One is that her White House-approved salesmanship was among the smarmiest and most self-righteous, and the other is that her employer, CNN, effectively sold her out while flogging Chris Whipple’s new tell-all, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History.”
Trust me, my friends, there is some juicy video in Stephen the Younger’s column.Â
Our good friend Kevin Downey Jr. took a look at the attorney general of his home state:
Antar is accusing James of Mortgage fraud — lots of it. Perhaps even decades of it as there is evidence James has a long history of “flipping” houses for profit.Â
Publicly, James appears to be defiant, but if the accusations are true — and more are coming out every few days — James’ legal issues, which seem cut and dried, might send New York’s salad-dodging, Trump-hating AG to the same destination she tried to send Trump, prison, for crimes similar to that which she charged Trump.

Letitia James is, unfortunately, the chief law enforcement officer of the state of New York. That really does give her some leeway until other jurisdictions are involved, doesn’t it? I mean, if the top cop decides it’s not a problem. who cares, right? Let’s hope consequences make a solid comeback.
A Note on the Death of Pope Francis. Sorry, kids, I’m not on the conservative media “Bash Francis” bandwagon. I’m dismayed by the pile-on there has been on this side. I know that even saying this is going to get more pile-on. I’ve been asked a lot to write a defense of my beliefs on this subject, but I’m going to have to pray harder to respond charitably to what I’ve read in the last few days. I did cover a lot of what I think about this in the last episode of “Faith All Over the Place.”
