Mike Pence STUNS with juicy Mueller probe soundbite
Vice President Mike Pence stunned the mainstream media with his latest statement on special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
It’s time to end the distraction and get on with governance, Pence told a surprised NBC News interviewer.
“What I think is that it’s been about a year since this investigation began. Our administration has provided over a million documents, we’ve fully cooperated in it and in the interest of the country, I think it’s time to wrap it up,” Pence said in a recent appearance on the “Today Show.”
Pence spoke to the mainstream media following the stunning release of three Americans held by North Korea, negotiated by President Donald Trump as part of the denuclearization efforts for the Korean peninsula.
Trump has fumed that the Mueller’s probe is a partisan “witch hunt” and a “hoax” meant to undermine his administration. Pence, a career politician, was more diplomatic than the famously brash Trump.
“I would very respectfully encourage the special counsel and his team to bring their work to completion,” Pence said.
PROOF that Kim Jong Un is willing to negotiate (thanks to Trump!)
President Donald Trump welcomed home three Americans freed by North Korea and declared their release a sign of promise toward his goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.
Speaking early Thursday on an air base tarmac with the former detainees by his side, Trump called it a “great honor” to welcome the men to the U.S., but said “the true honor is going to be if we have a victory in getting rid of nuclear weapons.”
Trump also thanked North Korea’s Kim Jong Un for releasing the Americans and said he believes Kim wants to reach an agreement on denuclearization at their upcoming summit. “I really think he wants to do something,” the president said.
First lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other top officials joined Trump to celebrate the occasion at Joint Base Andrews near Washington. The men — Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak Song and Tony Kim — had been released Wednesday amid a warming of relations between the longtime adversaries.
Shortly before 3 a.m. the president and first lady boarded the medical plane on which the men had traveled and spent several minutes meeting with them privately. The group then emerged at top of the airplane stairway, where the men held up their arms in an exuberant display.
As the men entered into view, U.S. service members on the tarmac burst into applause and cheers.
“This is a special night for these three really great people,” Trump told reporters. On the U.S. relationship with North Korea, Trump declared, “We’re starting off on a new footing.”
The freed prisoners appeared tired but in excellent spirits, flashing peace signs and waving their arms as they emerged from the aircraft. When asked by reporters how it felt to be home, one of the men answered through a translator, “It’s like a dream; we are very, very happy.” They later gave the president a round of applause.
After Trump’s remarks, the three men boarded a bus for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where they are to be evaluated and receive medical treatment before being reunited with their families.
The president told reporters, “I think you probably broke the all-time-in-history television rating for 3 o’clock in the morning.”
Hours later, Trump tweeted, “On behalf of the American people, WELCOME HOME!”
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrumpOn behalf of the American people, WELCOME HOME!
Department officials took great pains on the prisoners’ release in North Korea, as well as on their flights to Japan and Alaska, to keep them sequestered not only from the two journalists traveling with Pompeo but also from staffers not immediately involved in their cases. The trio, along with medical personnel that included a psychiatrist, were cloistered in the middle of Pompeo’s plane in a small section of 12 business class-size seats that was cordoned off by curtains on both ends.
State Department officials refused to discuss anything but the most basic details of their conditions, citing privacy concerns in keeping with the minimal amount of information they had released since the men were imprisoned.
Pompeo had secured their release in Pyongyang after meeting with Kim on final plans for the Trump-Kim summit. The Americans had boarded Pompeo’s plane out of North Korea without assistance and then transferred in Japan to the Boeing C-40 outfitted with medical facilities for the trip back to the U.S.
Shortly after they touched down on American soil in Alaska for a refueling stop Wednesday afternoon, the State Department released a statement from the freed men.
“We would like to express our deep appreciation to the United States government, President Trump, Secretary Pompeo, and the people of the United States for bringing us home,” they said. “We thank God, and all our families and friends who prayed for us and for our return. God Bless America, the greatest nation in the world.”
Singapore has emerged as the likely host of the U.S.-North Korean summit, late this month or in early June, as Trump seeks to negotiate denuclearization of the Korean peninsula in his highest-stakes foreign policy effort yet.
Trump made a point of publicly thanking North Korea’s leader for the prisoners’ release — “We want to thank Kim Jong Un” — and hailed it as a sign of cooling tensions and growing opportunity on the Korean peninsula. Kim decided to grant amnesty to the three Americans at the “official suggestion” of the U.S. president, said North Korea’s official news agency, KCNA.
North Korea had accused the three Korean-Americans of anti-state activities. Their arrests were widely seen as politically motivated and had compounded the dire state of relations over the isolated nation’s nuclear weapons.
Trump entered office as an emboldened North Korea developed new generations of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles capable of hitting the continental U.S. Those advances were the subject of President Barack Obama’s starkest warning shortly before Trump took office, and this is a crisis he’s convinced his negotiating skills can resolve.
Trump has pointed to Kim’s willingness to come to the negotiating table as validating U.S. moves to tighten sanctions — branded “maximum pressure” by the president.
The three were the latest in a series of Americans who have been detained by North Korea in recent years for seemingly small offenses and typically freed when senior U.S. officials or statesmen personally visited to bail them out.
The last American to be released before this, college student Otto Warmbier, died in June 2017, days after he was repatriated to the U.S. with severe brain damage.
Warmbier was arrested by North Korean authorities in January 2016, accused of stealing a propaganda poster and sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor. His parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit, accusing the government of torturing and killing their son.
“We are happy for the hostages and their families,” the Warmbiers said in a statement Wednesday. “We miss Otto.”
After the release of the detainees Thursday, North Korea’s state-run media explicitly mentioned plans for the summit for the first time Thursday. Pyongyang has been exceptionally cautious about its public framing of Kim’s recent diplomatic moves, which are a major shift from the more aggressive focus on missile launches and nuclear development that heated tensions to a boil last year.
Donald Trump’s Polls Improve Despite 90% Negative Media Coverage
by KATHERINE RODRIGUEZ
President Trump experienced an increase in the polls for the first four months of this year, even though 90 percent of broadcast news coverage of him during that period was negative, according to a study.
The study from the Media Research Center (MRC) looked at how each of the major broadcast networks covered Trump from January 1, 2018, to April 30, 2018, and found that 90 percent of the comments about Trump on those programs were negative.
“The coverage totaled a whopping 1,774 minutes, or roughly one-third of all evening news airtime,” said Rich Noyes, a senior analyst at the Media Research Center.
But it seems that despite the negative news coverage, Trump is prevailing in the polls. Trump’s job approval rating jumped from 37 percent in December 2017 to 43 percent in April 2018, according to a RealClearPolitics average of the top pollsters.
Some topics covered on the networks seemed to be more negative than others. MRC’s analysts found that 98 percent of network news coverage of controversies such as the Russia investigation tended to be negative.
Coverage of the president’s policy issues tended to be overwhelmingly negative on social issues such as gun control—where 96 percent of those stories featured the president in a negative light. But coverage of policy issues regarding the economy tended to be slightly more positive, where seven out of ten stories featured negative coverage.
“There’s no precedent for a president receiving such a sustained level of negative press over such a long period of time,” Noyes said. “The fact that the public has become more favorable towards the president in this environment is the latest sign that the media watchdog’s bite isn’t as menacing as their bark suggests.”
Trump’s rise in the polls has even prompted the pollsters to question their data. Reuters/Ipsos announced it would re-evaluate its data on its latest poll after noticing a spike in the president’s approval rating on April 27.
LISTEN: Hot Mic Catches Sweet Moment Between POTUS And The First Lady
After first lady Melania Trump announced her signature campaign at the White House to combat bullying and drug use, a hot mic caught a sweet moment between the president and first lady.
On Monday, the first lady revealed her “BE BEST” initiative, where she spoke to schoolchildren, parents, and lawmakers at the White House.
“There are too many critical issues facing children today,” Melania said. “So the three main pillars of BE BEST will include well-being, social media use, and opioid abuse.”
Making the campaign official, President Trump signed a presidential proclamation.
When the president walked on the stage to join the first lady, they embraced one another, where POTUS said, “Good job honey,” before moving to the podium to make brief remarks.
“Everywhere she has gone, Americans have been touched by her sincerity, moved by her grace, and lifted by her love,” The president said about the first lady. “Melania, your care and compassion for our nation’s children — and I have to say this, and I say it to you all the time — inspires us all.”
The president signed the proclamation making her campaign official and gave Melania the pen.
When the two embraced one another a second time, a hot mic caught Trump whispering to Melania: “Thank you sweetheart. Congratulations, honey.”

Normally, something like this wouldn’t be such a big story, but the media has been endlessly claiming the Trumps marriage is shaky and that they can’t stand to be around one another. It’s total garbage!
Those reports have been slammed by the White House as tabloid gossip, but the media will do whatever it can to harm the Trump family and administration.
This was a great exchange caught on a hot mic!
Stormy’s Lawyer Makes Embarrassing Slip-Up, Could Cost Him BIG TIME!
By Andrew West
As if the President of the United States didn’t already, and perpetually always, have enough on his plate, the continuing saga surrounding adult film actress Stormy Daniels just keeps getting stranger.
Earlier this year, Daniels began making absurd claims that she and Donald Trump had an adulterous affair sometime around a dozen years ago, and that Trump had paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about it. Of course, we all know now that Daniels certainly would not keep quiet about it, waiting until Trump became the leader of the free world before attempting to sabotage his presidency by making these absurd claims.
Now, in the midst of the controversy over the Trump legal team’s supposed involvement in paying hush money to a porn star, Daniels’ lawyer has made himself one heck of a whoopsie.
Michael Avenatti, porn star Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, released a seven-page dossier on Tuesday containing a list of payments purportedly made to Michael Cohen, the lawyer for President Donald Trump.
But there is one problem with the document: two of the allegedly “fraudulent” payments were made to men named Michael Cohen who have no affiliation with Trump.
Avenatti’s report includes a section listing “possible fraudulent and illegal financial transactions” involving Trump’s lawyer. One of the payments is a $4,250 wire transfer from a Malaysian company, Actuarial Partners, to a bank in Toronto.
The other is a $980 transfer from a Kenyan bank to Bank Hapoalim — the largest bank in Israel.
Zainal Kassim, a representative for Actuarial Partners, told The Daily Caller News Foundation Avenatti’s report is a case of mistaken identity. He forwarded an email the falsely accused Michael Cohen sent to Avenatti requesting the lawyer “correct this error forthwith and make it known publicly” there is no connection to Trump’s Michael Cohen.
If this is the level of competence that we’ll be witness to during the rest of this debacle, someone please pass the popcorn.
The entire ordeal has been an endless, all you can eat buffet of nothing burgers over the course of these last few months, with President Trump being forced to suspend day to day operations in order to deal with the fiasco. Still, in the thick of all of this hullabaloo, the President is brokering deals with North Korea, dissolving the Iran Nuclear Deal, and trying to hold the Republican Party together by threads no longer than Rand Paul’s bangs, (or whatever that’s called).
So, Stormy, maybe it’s time to give it a rest? You’ve made your mark on the Trump Era, and it netted you a whole lot of sweaty dollars that may or may not be fueling an underlying issue that we’ve yet to discuss.
In other words, your 15 minutes are up.
Again.
Congress Must Close These Loopholes To Fix Illegal Immigration
WHAT: Recently, there has been a significant surge in illegal border crossings. Making matters worse, loopholes continue to prevent the removal of many illegal aliens. In April 2018, illegal border crossings more than tripled compared to April 2017. April 2018 was also the second month in a row what saw more than 37,000 individuals apprehended after entering the country illegally along our Southwest border. The need to enforce our laws, secure our borders, and close our immigration loopholes has been further underscored by the recent arrival of a “caravan” of individuals seeking to enter the United States.
Efforts to remove aliens once they illegally cross our border are hampered by glaring flaws in current statutory law and activist judicial constraints. As a result, many aliens are apprehended and temporarily detained after illegally entering, only to be quickly released into the interior of the United States.
Historically, all family units apprehended at the border have been released with little more than a paper order to appear in court at a later date – often, never to appear. Current law also makes it virtually impossible to return most apprehended Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) to their home countries.
Judicial rulings by activist courts have even made it impossible to remove many dangerous criminal aliens. The result of these loopholes is that aliens can illegal enter the United States, and make fraudulent asylum claims, with the expectation that will be released into U.S. society and never appear in court – contributing to a judicial backlog of more than 600,000 cases and a deportation backlog of more than 1 million cases.
In addition, Federal immigration officials must deal with sanctuary jurisdictions that continue to openly and lawlessly obstruct efforts to enforce our Nation’s immigration laws. Sanctuary jurisdictions, such as California, often refuse requests to detain criminal illegal aliens for even short periods of time in order to assist Federal officials.
Some jurisdictions are even passing laws that would punish local law enforcement who work with Federal officials. As a result, convicted criminal aliens and those charged with serious crimes have avoided removal and have been released from law enforcement custody and back onto the street where they can prey on innocent American families and children. Sanctuary jurisdictions also endanger the safety of Federal agents who must apprehend these dangerous fugitives after their release.
Legislative action to secure our border and fix our immigration system has been repeatedly obstructed by Senate Democrats. Chuck Schumer and other Senate Democrats like Jon Tester have stood in the way of legislation that would have closed loopholes in our immigration system, provided the resources needed to secure our borders, and strengthened the ability of law enforcement to protect public safety. They have also blocked legislative efforts to crack down on dangerous sanctuary jurisdictions, including “Kate’s Law,” which is named after late Kate Steinle, an American who was killed by an illegal alien with a lengthy criminal history.
President Trump has consistently called upon Congress to take action. In October 2017, President Trump sent a series of immigration priorities to Congress. The President also released an immigration framework in January 2018. These proposals, if enacted into law, would have secured our porous borders and addressed many of the key problems in our immigration system to benefit American citizens.
President Trump has made clear that action must be taken, and is demanding that Congress provide the authorities and funds necessary to fully and finally secure the border.

John Kerry Defends His (Cough* Treasonous Cough*) Shadow Diplomacy With Iran
Matt Vespa
John Kerry has failed. As Tim wrote, he’s been working for weeks trying to preserve the Iran Deal, meeting with Iran’s foreign minister at the United Nations, chatting with French President Emmanuel Macron, the German president, and European Union officials. Is this treason? No, or at least I hope not. I’m just going by the rules that Left now has when it comes to meeting foreigners in light of the Russian collusion clown show that has dominated the political scene since Donald Trump won the 2016 election. If you met with the Russian ambassador, as many government officials and members of Congress do, it’s collusion. You drink Stoli vodka; it’s collusion. You enjoy a pickled food; that’s certainly treasonous. Also, “shadow diplomacy” is quite the sanitized phrase to explain what Kerry has been doing, which one could argue is collusion between Iran and members of the European Union (via Boston Globe):
John Kerry’s bid to save one of his most significant accomplishments as secretary of state took him to New York on a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, where, more than a year after he left office, he engaged in some unusual shadow diplomacy with a top-ranking Iranian official.
He sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings.
With the Iran deal facing its gravest threat since it was signed in 2015, Kerry has been on an aggressive yet stealthy mission to preserve it, using his deep lists of contacts gleaned during his time as the top US diplomat to try to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside. President Trump, who has consistently criticized the pact and campaigned in 2016 on scuttling it, faces a May 12 deadline to decide whether to continue abiding by its terms.
Kerry also met last month with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and he’s been on the phone with top European Union official Federica Mogherini, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal the private meetings. Kerry has also met with French President Emmanuel Macron in both Paris and New York, conversing over the details of sanctions and regional nuclear threats in both French and English.
The rare moves by a former secretary of state highlight the stakes for Kerry personally, as well as for other Obama-era diplomats who are dismayed by what they see as Trump’s disruptive approach to diplomacy, and who view the Iran nuclear deal as a factor for stability in the Middle East and for global nuclear nonproliferation.
Kerry is coordinating his push with a group of officials who were his top advisers at the State Department, and who helped craft and negotiate the Iran deal in the first place. The group, called Diplomacy Works, has an advisory council that includes lead Iran-deal negotiator Wendy Sherman, former State Department chief of staff Jon Finer, and former spokeswoman Jen Psaki.

Keep in mind, there is (still) zero evidence that the Trump camp colluded with the Kremlin to tilt the 2016 election. Over a year of investigating has yielded nothing, only Paul Manafort not paying his taxes for work he did as an adviser, which really wasn’t a shocker and the indictments of some Russians who ran a troll farm through social media, peddling the most outrageous memes that probably influenced…zero voters during the 2016 election. Still, Kerry says he did nothing wrong. He was interviewed by MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace yesterday, who asked him if he would like to respond to the allegations of hypocrisy since Kerry criticizes the Trump transition team’s dabbling in Israeli policy (via NTK Network):
There’s none whatsoever, none whatsoever,” Kerry said. “My conversations with these people are the normal conversations that I assure every former secretary of state has.”
“These are normal conversations, and all I did was suggest to them, ‘Look, you guys really ought to keep the agreement,'” Kerry said.
“These are normal conversations, and all I did was suggest to them, ‘Look, you guys really ought to keep the agreement,'” Kerry said.
Yeah, not everyone is in agreement with that, Johnny. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who was interviewed by Hallie Jackson, said Kerry’s conduct was inappropriate and troubling if true. He did not think it was proper for former government officials to do side diplomacy. That’s quite a muted response to when Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and 46 other U.S. Senators sent a letter to Iran in 2015, where they plainly and correctly said that this agreement could be revoked by the next president—and it has. Cotton was accused of treason for this letter, so I’m just going by the Left’s standard here. That’s all. I know it’s not wise to give into liberal arguments, but in this case, as with most of their narratives, it’s come home to bite them in the a**. Kerry is a colluder and a failed diplomat.
Trump Buries Obama Rules: Every Illegal Caught Crossing Border Will Be Charged
BY BEN MARQUIS
A key campaign pledge of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump was to enforce immigration laws and secure the border with a wall. Although President Trump has faced obstruction in building that promised wall, his administration is cracking down on illegal immigration nonetheless.
The Washington Times reported on a major immigration enforcement policy announcement Monday from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Thomas Homan near the border in San Diego.
The new policy, which is significantly stricter than that of the Obama administration, is that any and all illegal immigrants caught crossing the border illicitly will be charged with illegally entering the country, and parents who bring children across with them could face additional charges of human smuggling. The parents will also be detained — separate from their children — while awaiting a hearing on the charges.
Previously, individuals caught crossing the border were given a deportation hearing date in civil court and released, upon which they typically disappeared into the country and rarely showed up for their court date to eventually be deported. But that has now changed.
“Our goal is to have the whole world know this border is not open. Don’t come unlawfully,” Sessions said.
Illegal entry into the country is a misdemeanor crime punishable by up to six months in jail, and illegal entry after a prior deportation is a felony that can net two years in prison. If major criminal charges were the reason for that prior deportation, the prison sentence can be up to 10 years.
Illegal immigrant advocates immediately cried foul at the tougher enforcement policies, particularly in regard to the separation of parents from children.
Angelica Salas, executive director for the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights, went so far as to call this move “by far the most wicked and cruel” action taken by the Trump administration.
“The capricious and ruthless nature of this administration’s immigration policy against undocumented and lawful immigrants is clearly visible when even the most vulnerable of the vulnerable — children — become targets,” Salas told the Times. “This policy is nothing more than red meat to an insatiable anti-immigrant base.”
But for all of the outraged howling over illegal immigrant parents being separated from their children when found in violation of the law, liberals rarely utter a peep when American citizens who violate other laws are separated from their own children when sent to jail, a hypocritcal duality pointed out by acting ICE director Homan.
He said blame for the separation of parents and children at the border fell on the parents themselves who tested the system and failed. Homan said he saw no reason why they should be treated any differently than any other parent charged or convicted of other crimes.
This crackdown on enforcement will undoubtedly lead to larger caseloads for already backlogged immigration judges and federal prosecutors, but Border Patrol agents will likely be pleased their enforcement efforts will finally be backed up by serious consequences.
Indeed, under the prior catch-and-release policies, it was not at all uncommon for illegal immigrants to cross the border, get caught, get deported and then cross again, with many individuals racking up multiple — even dozens in some cases — deportations on their records.
Border Patrol agents and border security experts believe this new policy of charges backed by detention will serve to discourage illegal immigrants from attempting to illicitly cross the border in the first place, much less a second time after deportation, since they know they will face real consequences for their actions.
Trump has not given up on his promise to secure the nation with a wall along the southern border, and will continue to wrangle with Congress to secure the necessary funding to fully construct that vital security measure.
In the meantime, his administration has sent a loud and clear message to the entire world that illegally crossing the once-open border will not be tolerated, and those who are caught doing so will finally pay a real price for their criminal actions.
Monica Lewinsky uninvited from event on ‘social change’ because Bill Clinton attending
FILE - In this June 25, 2015, file photo, Monica Lewinsky attends the Cannes Lions 2015, International Advertising Festival in Cannes, southern France. Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky says the affair that led to impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton “was not sexual assault” but “constituted a gross abuse of power.” Lewinsky writes in “Vanity Fair” that she is “in awe of the sheer courage” of women who’ve been confronting “entrenched beliefs and institutions.” She says she was recently moved to tears when a leader of the #MeToo movement told her, “I’m so sorry you were so alone.” (AP Photo/Lionel Cironneau, File)By Sally Persons - The Washington Times
Monica Lewinsky tweeted Wednesday that she was uninvited from an event after the group informed her former President Bill Clinton had accepted an invitation.
Monica Lewinsky✔@MonicaLewinsky
dear world: please don't invite me to an event (esp one about social change) and --then after i've accepted-- uninvite me because bill clinton then decided to attend/was invited. it's 2018.emily post would def not approve 
Me
MeMs. Lewinsky did not say what the event entailed, or who was hosting, but she did add that they offered her a magazine profile in exchange for uninviting her.
“p.s. …and definitely, please don’t try to ameliorate the situation by insulting me with an offer of an article in your mag,” she added.
Ms. Lewinsky was a White House intern in the late 1990s during Mr. Clinton’s presidency. The two had a sexual relationship that later became public during an investigation into Mr. Clinton for a previous sexual harassment claim.
She was widely ridiculed during the time the scandal broke, but the recent wave of women coming out with their own stories of sexual harassment in the workplace has changed some people’s perception of her.
Ms. Lewinsky has also become a voice in the #MeToo movement and said that even decades after her own experience she is still trying to understand what happened. Many women have changed the nationwide conversation to focus more on an imbalance of power in these relationships, like Ms. Lewinsky and Mr. Clinton, rather than just on criminal sexual assault.
John McCain reportedly confirms he gave Trump dossier to James Comey
By Victor Morton - The Washington Times
US-Senator John McCain walks out after the press conference during his official visit to Sarajevo, Bosnia, on Tuesday, April 11, 2017. (AP Photo/Amel Emric) Sen. John McCain reportedly confirms in his upcoming book that he was the man who handed to the FBI the infamous “dossier” of unproven allegations about President Trump.
According to a report Wednesday in the Daily Beast, Mr. McCain acknowledges for the first time in his upcoming book “The Restless Wave,” that he met personally with then-FBI director James P. Comey to give him the salacious material.
“I agreed to receive a copy of what is now referred to as ‘the dossier,’” the Arizona Republican wrote. “I reviewed its contents. The allegations were disturbing, but I had no idea which if any were true. I could not independently verify any of it, and so I did what any American who cares about our nation’s security should have done.”
He said he went to see Mr. Comey “at his earliest convenience, handed him the dossier, explained how it had come into my possession.”
“I said I didn’t know what to make of it, and I trusted the FBI would examine it carefully and investigate its claims. With that, I thanked the director and left. The entire meeting had probably not lasted longer than ten minutes. I did what duty demanded I do,” Mr. McCain wrote, according to the Daily Beast, which received advance copies of the book, due out May 22.
