- Jimmy Fallon Knows Just the Person to Replace Karoline Leavitt — And It’s So...
Jimmy Fallon mocked President Donald Trump’s sudden search for a new press secretary on Thursday night, joking that departing White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had decided life with a 4-month-old baby sounded “way quieter” than another stretch inside the Trump administration. Trump confirmed Wednesday that Leavitt will step down at the end of August, just weeks after returning from maternity leave following the birth of her second child. Her departure leaves the president searching for a new public face for the administration heading into the fall. “Yeah, between the nonstop White House construction and Trump, she wanted to be around something way quieter: a baby,” Fallon joked during his opening monologue on Thursday’s Tonight Show. Fallon seized on reports that the president had been surprised by the decision: “Apparently, Trump was caught off guard by Leavitt’s decision. And this is strange, Trump is now blaming her resignation on pool vandals.” He continued: “Yeah, Trump was surprised by Leavitt’s decision. She was like, ‘I wanted to wait for a good time, but there hasn’t been one, so.’” The late-night host then turned to the question of who might replace Leavitt, ribbing the president over the qualifications required for one of the most visible jobs in Washington: “Trump’s now looking for a replacement who can spin facts and numbers, so another good option is his doctor.” As the audience laughed, the host switched into a Trump impression: “’I’m 155 pounds…’” Fallon also noted reports that CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings has emerged as a favorite for the job. “Yeah, we’re just lucky Trump turned on his TV to a news channel. We were this close to being Press Secretary Bluey,” Fallon said. A potential Jennings appointment would move one of cable news’ most prominent pro-Trump voices directly into the White House briefing room as the administration reshuffles its communications team. Fallon, however, suggested Trump may want to consider something beyond TV performance when filling the position: “Of course when hiring someone, it’s also about personality, you know? You’ve got to think, like, ‘Who am I OK being stuck inside a catering truck with?’” “You know what I’m saying? You gotta think ahead,” he quipped.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and its allies, who are rapidly gaining traction in the Democratic Party, want to turn "food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation" into "common goods and utilities" run by the government "in a future without capitalism." But never mind, I'm told. I'm assured by responses to my recent column on the surge in left-wing radicalism that "when your representatives vote and allocate your tax dollars for a library," that is "democratic socialism." Oh, really? So, we're talking about borrowing books and not eliminating private property or the DSA's embrace of totalitarian regimes in Cuba and Venezuela? You could have fooled me. But, of course, they are trying to fool me with bait-and-switch arguments that substitute cute and cuddly public libraries—who doesn't like stacks of books?—for seizing the means of production and state control of essentially everything. Because libraries are so innocuous, socialists fall back to them. By 'Socialist,' They Mean Libraries. Sure. "If you think the GOP is terrified of my politics now, just wait until they find out about public libraries," DSA–affiliated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) huffed in 2018 shortly before her election to Congress. "If today, you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today, and yet that's the library," New York City's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani insisted to Jon Stewart. Ocasio-Cortez, let's point out, wants a government monopoly on healthcare and for taxpayers to pay everybody's college tuition. Mamdani plans to set up taxpayer-subsidized grocery stores, and the head of his Office to Protect Tenants, Cea Weaver, believes "homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy" and that the state should "seize private property." Sure, they're talking about libraries. This is what's called a "motte-and-bailey fallacy," by which a person advancing a hard-to-sell position retreats to something less insane when challenged. That's how we go from "nationalize everything" to "libraries." But libraries are an odd example for socialists to choose as a fallback. Lending Libraries Were Born in Private Initiative and Philanthropy Lending libraries got a boost in America from Benjamin Franklin.
