- LARRY KUDLOW: Trump gets an A-Plus for grace and courage
Even President Trump’s toughest critics should acknowledge his grace and courage under fire. He showed it once again in his presser Saturday night after the shooting at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.If I can borrow from my friend Miranda Devine, he praised the Chairman of the Correspondents Association, who has been a severe Trump critic. He was magnanimous about the Secret Service, though they’re going to have to answer some tough questions in the weeks ahead. And he was self-effacing about the likelihood that the shooter was gonna go for him. He said: "it’s always shocking when something like this happens. It’s happened to me a little bit. And, that never changes the fact we’re sitting right next to each other." Mr. Trump added that "if you take presidents, it’s 5.8 percent and about 8 percent are shot at. So nobody told me this was such a dangerous profession." He concluded: "It’s dangerous. It’s dangerous stuff, whether it’s here or someplace else. No country is immune." That’s grace under fire. Standing in his formal attire, with his bow tie in place, the president holds an extraordinary news conference. Hat tip to my friends at The New York Sun for pointing this out.It appeared to be the third assassination attempt in two years. No president has faced that. My former boss, President Reagan was nearly killed by an assassin’s bullet in 1981. And far as I know, there have been no other assassination attempts until Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024.Mr. Trump had a thought on this as well. Take a listen: "Well, you know, I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most. You take a look at the people. Abraham Lincoln." Yet, he added, "the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after."Faith Bottum of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page notes that 8.5 percent of Presidents have died by assassination. Mr. Trump, though, has said time and again, including during his presser Saturday night, that he’s not worried about assassination and in fact wanted the dinner to continue that night before the Secret Service ruled it out. Yet that president has also said many times that he cannot let the criminal class or the political crazies shut down freedom of speech, or any political rallies for that matter.

- Google co-founder rips California billionaire tax: ‘I fled socialism’...Google co-founder Sergey Brin slammed the proposed billionaire tax in California, likening it to the socialism that he fled with his family from the former Soviet Union.Brin is one of the billionaires who relocated out of the Golden State to avoid the potential wealth tax that's expected to appear on California voters' ballots this fall. The proposal would impose a one-time 5% tax on residents whose net worth exceeds $1 billion. Assets covered by the tax may include businesses, securities, art, collectibles, and intellectual property – though real property, pensions and certain retirement accounts would be exempt."I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union. I don't want California to end up in the same place," Brin said in a statement to The New York Times regarding a story by the outlet that discussed his move.CALIFORNIA BILLIONAIRE TAX NEARS BALLOT AFTER UNION COLLECTS NEARLY DOUBLE REQUIRED SIGNATURESThe proposed wealth tax applies retroactively to Californians who were residents of the state at the start of 2026, which prompted Brin to move out of the state late last year.The Times reported, citing a person familiar with the arrangement, that Brin moved to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and is spending every other week at Google's headquarters in California.THE $1,600 LETTUCE: CALIFORNIA GROWERS WARN OF ‘MASTER PLAN’ STRANGLING FAMILY FARMSThe outlet previously reported that in December, an entity connected to Brin terminated or relocated 15 California limited liability companies (LLCs) out of the state, while several were converted into Nevada entities.Advocates argue it would bring in significant funding for public services, while critics have warned it could drive job creators out of the state. If enacted, the tax bill would be due in 2027, with taxpayers having the option of spreading payments over five years.OIL PRODUCER ORG SHREDS CALIFORNIA DEM FOR BLAMING IRAN WAR FOR HIS DISTRICT'S GAS PRICESBrin's opposition to the wealth tax on billionaires prompted him to work with other like-minded Californians and build support for an effort to defeat the measure.The Times reported that Brin formed a pair of nonprofit groups as part of his political engagement around the wealth tax proposal, putting $57 million into Building a Better California over the last four months.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
