A Wisconsin man who donated to Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) has been charged with making a bomb threat to the campaign office of her Republican challenger.  Police charged 72-year-old Joseph Quade with making terrorist threats on Friday after investigating a message sent to the Senate campaign office of Eric Hovde that said the office “might blow up‚” the Wisconsin State Journal reported. Hovde‚ a businessman‚ is attempting to unseat Baldwin in the November election. “Hey (EH)‚ you think your building might blow up tomorrow&;#63; I don’t think you should have any of your people come to work‚” said the threatening message‚ which was sent via a voice memo attached to an email‚ according to the criminal complaint.  Quade told police that he did not remember making the threat‚ but said he could get “a little political‚” and it was possible he sent the message‚ the Journal reported. The threat to Hovde’s office in Madison was sent in on April 4.  Quade has donated to Baldwin’s campaign on three separate occasions in 2023‚ according to Federal Election Commission data. His most recent donation came on December 29 and totaled $25. Previously he donated $25 and $50 to Baldwin’s campaign.  In a statement to The Daily Wire‚ Baldwin’s campaign announced it would be donating the contributions to charity. “Violence has no place in our politics and anyone who threatens violence has no place in our campaign. We will be donating this individual’s contributions to charity‚” said campaign spokesman Andrew Mamo. According to the complaint‚ Quade said he sometimes drinks too much and says things he doesn’t mean. If convicted‚ Quade could be sentenced to 3.5 years of combined prison and extended supervision‚ the Journal noted. He will go before a judge in Dane County Circuit Court on May 2.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP A recent poll from Marquette University shows a close race between Baldwin and Hovde in the Badger State‚ with Baldwin at 52% among registered voters and Hovde at 47%. Baldwin‚ who is seeking her third term in the Senate‚ won her last election by over 10 points.  The poll also showed former President Donald Trump leading President Joe Biden by two points. Trump was backed by 51% of registered voters while Biden was supported by 49%. Wisconsin is expected to be a battleground state in 2024 with the winner likely going on to win the presidency. The Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee in July as they look to flip the state back after the 2020 election. 

Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr slammed President Joe Biden during an interview this week when explaining why he has decided to support former President Donald Trump this November. Barr made the remarks during a CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins when asked why he was supporting the former president as Trump. “It’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to the country. And I think Trump would do less damage than Biden‚” Barr said. “I think all this stuff about a threat to democracy‚ I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement and the Biden administration.” Barr said that the threat specifically was Biden’s “support for the progressive agenda.” “Where are we losing our freedoms&;#63; How are our freedoms being constrained&;#63; They’re being constrained by the progressive government‚” he said. “And democracy‚ especially from the Anglosphere of democracies‚ the Five Eyes and so forth‚ the threat’s never been from autocratic government on the Right‚ a right-wing strongman —” Collins interrupted and asked Barr to give specifics of how Biden was threatening democracy. “The threat to freedom and democracy has always been on the Left. It’s the collectivist‚ socialist agenda. And that is where we’re losing our freedom‚” he said. “Parents are losing the freedom to control their children’s education. And people can’t speak their mind without losing their jobs‚ and things like that. This is worse than the McCarthy Era. Where is that coming from&;#63; It’s not coming from the Right.” “We’re not enforcing our borders‚ we have open borders‚ we have lawlessness in our cities‚” he continued. “We have regulations coming fast and furious — telling people what kind of stoves they can use‚ and what kinds of cars they have to drive‚ and eliminating cars and so forth. Yes‚ those are the threats to democracy.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Collins tried to downplay Barr’s examples by only addressing the part about parents losing control of their kids’ education‚ claiming it was just “some school boards across the country.” “Major changes are being made in our country without the democratic process‚ and they’re being made by bureaucrats‚ and these agencies‚” Barr responded. Collins again tried to downplay Barr’s examples by only highlighting “fights at the library over which books kids can read.” “Don’t you think there should be some limits on what people are able to read at very young ages&;#63;” Barr asked. Collins didn’t answer the question.

Comedian Bill Maher mocked far-left protesters this week who are blocking traffic on major roadways in an attempt to end Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists inside Gaza. Maher made the remarks after the anti-Israel protesters have blocked roads in New York‚ San Francisco‚ Chicago‚ Seattle‚ Oregon‚ Philadelphia‚ and more. “Someone needs to tell the people who blocked traffic in the name of a cause‚ no one likes you‚” Maher said on “Real Time” Friday evening. “And you’re probably hurting your cause.” “You have to be pretty dumb to think that the way to bring people around to your point of view is to make them late to pick up their kids from daycare‚” Maher said. “And that’s what most normies are thinking‚ ‘I have a kid. I have a job. And yes I’m sure there are in justices on both sides in the Middle East as there are injustice is all over the world but I’m going to be late for work — something you protesters on the bridge seem to have the luxury of not having to worry about which seems kind of privileging.'” “You can glue your hands to the street because your hands don’t have to do any work today‚” Maher continued. “I’m not saying there aren’t sincere passions about Gaza‚ especially among people from the region‚ but social justice warriors‚ for a lot of them it seems like it’s more about the warrioring than about whatever the cause is.” Maher then showed a picture of a woman in a burka in an Islamic country and asked: “If you really cared about apartheid so much — which Israel does not actually practice‚ Arabs their vote they serve in Parliament‚ they sit on the Judiciary — wouldn’t you start with this: With the hundreds of millions of women in the world who live under a true apartheid‚ a gender apartheid of the most brutal kind&;#63; I’ll wait.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP He concluded‚ “Are you really speaking truth to power or do you just think you look cool in a keffiyeh&;#63; Which is really just the new Che Guevara t-shirt‚ another historical figure you never researched and so think as a hero but was actually a sadistic racist monster fighting for communism‚ the worst form of government ever. But these are small matters when activism merges with narcissism‚ less about the cause and more about me‚ look at me‚ watch me. And if you liked the way I’m fighting injustice‚ remember to like and subscribe.” WATCH: Bill Maher slams woke protesters as communists: “Are you really speaking truth to power&;#63; Or do you just think you look cool in a keffiyeh&;#63; Which is really just the new Che Guevara t-shirt.” pic.twitter.com/zJ7k2V5W5p — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) April 27‚ 2024

Planned Parenthood will be spending millions of dollars to campaign against pro-life candidates in North Carolina for the 2024 election as Republicans attempt to gain control of the governor’s mansion.  Planned Parenthood‚ Planned Parenthood Votes‚ and Planned Parenthood Action PAC North Carolina said on Thursday that they would be spending $10 million in support of pro-abortion candidates. The groups also said they want to knock on over a million doors in opposition to Republican Lt. Governor Mark Robinson’s campaign for governor.  “Our goal is clear: To protect abortion access in North Carolina‚ we must ensure voters know abortion is on the ballot this year‚” said Emily Thompson of Planned Parenthood Votes.  Money will be spent on digital advertising‚ phone-banking‚ mailers‚ and efforts at college campuses‚ according to the Associated Press. Democrats have focused on making abortion a key issue in the 2024 election‚ hoping to drive out the vote of abortion supporters. North Carolina‚ a 2024 battleground state‚ was narrowly won by former President Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. “As we head into November‚ all eyes are on North Carolina because abortion access across the entire region will be determined by the results of this election‚” Thompson told the New York Times earlier this week. “Our success is absolutely critical this year to protect abortion access and defend the bodily autonomy of every North Carolinian.” Last year‚ the Republican-controlled state legislature overrode Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of a law protecting unborn children at 12-weeks.  The law‚ called the “Care for Women‚ Children‚ and Families Act‚” limits abortions after 12 weeks‚ with exceptions for rape or incest until 20 weeks and fetal abnormalities until 24 weeks. The override required all Republicans in the state House‚ including a recently defected Democrat‚ to vote together. Cooper had hoped to flip some Republicans on the issue‚ arguing that it would lead “to harm for pregnant women and their families‚” but was unable to do so.  Robinson has said that he would support expanding protections for unborn children.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is pro-life because of the painful and difficult experience he and his wife had‚ and his faith‚” Robinson spokesman Mike Lonergan told the Times. “He’s said that as governor he would sign a heartbeat bill with exceptions for rape‚ incest and when the life of the mother is in danger.” Lonergan said that Robinson “wants to turn North Carolina into a destination state for life by doing more to support women that choose life‚ like improving our foster-care and adoption systems‚ and preserving access to IVF.” Robinson is running against Democrat Attorney General Josh Stein‚ a supporter of abortion.

Nicole Kidman once admitted that she had a crush on Jimmy Fallon before she married Keith Urban—and Keith and Jimmy have never let her live it down. The Oscar-winning actress bashfully talked about her former crush while visiting The Tonight Show in 2015. The two were talking about the last time they had seen each other‚ which happened when they met at Jimmy’s apartment. Nicole had asked a mutual friend to set them up‚ and she thought it was a date “hang.” However‚ Jimmy Fallon had no idea they were on a date. He thought they were getting together to talk about Bewitched‚ which she was about to start filming at the time. And when she told him she had “liked” him all those years back‚ his jaw dropped to the floor. “Wait‚ WHAT&;#63;” he asked during the interview before literally falling out of his chair. “What are you talking about&;#63; Did I date Nicole Kidman&;#63;” During that tapping Jimmy Fallon started the line “I dated Nicole Kidman‚” and he’s carried it with him ever since. Keith Urban Planned A Prank On His Unsuspecting Wife While talking to Deadline Hollywood recently‚ Jimmy Fallon remembered that now-viral interview and said the “date” with Nicole Kidman has turned into an ongoing joke that her now-husband Keith Urban has happily joined. “What’s been fun is running into Keith Urban at all these parties and stuff‚ who’s a really good sport‚” he laughed. “I went up to him at the Met Gala and I go‚ ‘Hey‚ I think we might have dated once&;#63;’ and he was laughing.” @deadline 20 Questions: On Deadline On this week’s episode‚ Deadline’s Antonia Blyth chats with JimmyFallon.

Why don’t you go and just hold her hand&;#63; She’ll think it’s me‚ and then I’ll go around the table and wave at her‚'” Jimmy shared. “I go‚ ‘I don’t want to get slapped‚ oh my gosh.'” “So I went in‚ I sat next to Nicole‚ and I grabbed her hand‚ and she held it like it was Keith’s probably‚” he continued. “She was kind of rubbing it‚ and she’s having this conversation. Then he went across the table and he’s like‚ ‘Hi‚ Nic.’ And she’s like‚ ‘What — Jimmy&;#33; What are you doing&;#33;’ I was like‚ ‘It was his idea&;#33; It was his idea&;#33;'” Jimmy Fallon‚ Nicole Kidman‚ and Keith Urban ended up forming a fun friendship because of the crush revelation that extends past simple quips at red-carpet gatherings.
