Her majesty insisted President Obama bring no more than three choppers to her 90th birthday celebration. After his entourage of twelve helicopters ruined the grass in Queen Elizabeth's Windsor Castle gardens during a 2011 visit, the Obama administration's attempts to bring an extensive security detail were no match for the Queen's insistence.

The long-running underground Hollywood conservative group, Friends of Abe, is no more. FOA announced yesterday that with the group's growth came an unsustainable infrastructure; one too cumbersome to continue without a substantive overhaul. The Guardian reported:
But on Thursday the organisation – which counts Jon Voight, Jerry Bruckheimer and Kelsey Grammer among its 1,500 members – made an abrupt announcement: it was dissolving.

At least Ira Einhorn was consistent? My favorite inconvenient Earth Day truth (aside from the many horrendously wrong apocalyptic predictions) is the story of Earth Day co-founder Ira Einhorn. Not that I like tragic tales of death and compost, but it's hard not to enjoy the fact the day created to glorify bad science was propagated by well, a murderer. Several years after the first Earth Day in 1970, police raided Einhorn's home where they found his dead girlfriend "composting" in a trunk. What a guy, that Einhorn. When his girlfriend broke up with him in 1977, Einhorn insisted she return home to collect her belongings or he would pitch them out. She returned and was never seen again. Einhorn told police she'd gone to the co-op for tofu and vanished. 18 months later, her body was found.

The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email account and home-brewed server won't be wrapping up anytime soon. Nor is the Democratic convention a consideration in the timeliness of the investigation. NBC reported FBI Director James Comey's remarks Thursday afternoon:
Asked about the case today at a security conference in London, he said, "Somebody asked me if the Democratic National Convention is a hard stop or a key date for you? Are you doing this aimed at that? And I said, no.

Last year, Sen. Sassee introduced companion legislation to the House version of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Speaking before the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives Wednesday, Sen. Sasse gave an impassioned speech on the sanctity of life and the necessity of protecting the lives of the unborn.

Harriet Tubman was a badass. And if things go as planned, she'll be gracing the front of our $20 bills in about ten years or so. In honor of Tubman's accension to currency, I present to you Drunk History's recounting of Harriet Tubman, Union spy. If you're not familiar with Drunk History, it's a show where the hosts du jour get plastered, tell a very particular historical tale, and then that tale is acted out by comedians and other well known Hollywood types. Politically correct it is not, because really, who's PC when plastered?

Tuesday, Tennessee's General Assembly passed a bill that would defund the University of Tennesee's Office For Diversity and Inclusion. The bill has been passed to the state Senate. Legislators would divert funds currently allocated to the Office of Diversity, "to minority scholarships for engineering students. It would also bar the university from using state funds to support the annual Sex Week programming or gender-neutral pronouns," reports The Tennessean. This year's Sex Week agenda:

Earlier this week, I blogged about the ongoing $10 bill saga and what looked to be its conclusion -- the Treasury would leave Alexander Hamilton alone, or at least on the $10 bill. Wednesday, that was confirmed. Tremendous backlash, and the assistance of a widely popular musical about Alexander Hamilton caused the Treasury to reconsider their original plans. Hamilton will stay on the front of the $10, but changes will be made to the back of the bill. While Jackson is getting booted off the front of the $20 bill, he'll likely be sticking around on its flipped.

In a radio interview with Senator Ted Cruz Tuesday, host Sean Hannity lost his cool. Hannity contended Republicans were most concerned about the current delegate count, to which Cruz disagreed. "Sean, with all respect -- that's not what people are concerned about. I'm campaigning everyday. People are concerned about bringing jobs back to America, people are concerned about raising wages, people are concerned about getting the federal government off the backs of small businesses and people are concerned about beating Hillary. The media loves to obsess about process and this process and this whining from the Trump campaign is all silly. It's very simple," said before Hannity interrupted. Hannity cited his Twitter account, radio and TV shows as evidence that he knows best what Republicans are concerned about and again asked Cruz to explain the delegate game.

Updates (by WAJ). No surprise, the second the polls closed Trump was projected the winner. What remains to be seen is how many delegates he gets. (added) As of 11:30 p.m., Trump has approximately 60% of the vote and is credited with 89 delegates, but that likely will go up a couple more as more final results come in. Kasich has 3, and Cruz none. So Trump did what he needed to do. But he's still on a trajectory to fall short of 1237 on the first ballot. A number of commenters on TV and Twitter also are pointing out the obvious -- the Republican electorate in NY State is small relative to Democrats, so there remains no reason to believe Trump could carry the state in a general election. Hillary v. Bernie currently not called, but "leaning" Hillary. Networks call it for Hillary. https://twitter.com/LegInsurrection/status/722600349379522561

In Guangzhou, China, police "arrested" a statue of Ronald McDonald, the fast food chain's iconic clown. Evidently, Ronald had to be removed from his perch when restaurant owners failed to remove the "obstruction."

Last week, a self-identified gay pastor claimed a cake he purchased from grocer Whole Foods bore the message, "Love Wins Fag," in blue frosting. This story smelled funny from the get go. Why? Because Austin is one of the most LGBT-friendly locals in the country. It's basically Portland, Texas. Chances of this kind of thing happening in Austin are maybe .00001%. Not saying it's impossible, just improbable. In any case, accuser Pastor Jordan Brown made a video showing the cake in what he claims was a sealed box, unopened since he returned home from the store. Despite the clear window atop the cake box, Brown claims he did not notice the word "fag" until he reached his vehicle in the grocery store parking lot.

We have a new contender in the nationwide contest for Most Ridiculous Student Protest -- University of New Mexico. Native American students at UNM have decided the university seal is offensive because it bears a conquistador and a frontiersman. They argue, "it glorifies the violent European treatment of natives." Or, it could be part of you know, history. But these days, all history is racist. According to the Albuquerque Journal:
The protesters want the seal – whose roots can be traced to the university’s fourth president, Edward Dundas McQueen Gray, and was most recently updated in 1969 – relegated to the dustbin of history.
