“Bidens Made Millions Exchanging Political Favors For Foreign Money, Then Tried To Cover It Up”
No way!
It doesn’t seem to occur to people that the Bidens are wealthy, yet they don’t actually have a business that produces anything.
Instead let’s focus on Santos being a lying politician.
This is straight from Hunter Biden’s wikipedia page:
He was a VP two years out of law school.
Banks are notorious for giving people titles (and typically in lieu of higher salary).
Yes, but EVP is still pretty high up. There’s typically AVP, VP, SVP, and then EVP. EVP is similar to VP in a regular company. There’s no way he’d be qualified for a real EVP position after just two years, it had to be a fake do-nothing position,
Govt relations no doubt.
One might be led to wonder how much he ever showed up to work?
From back when the NYT actually made a pretense of journalism
https://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/07/business/expired-credit-king-was-cut-off-founder-mbna-meets-anxious-board-loses.html
Legal corruption is the best kind.
Even funnier is that at that time MBNA as in Biden’s backyard in northern DE just south of Wilmington.
Joe has never had a real job or even a fake book like the Obamas, yet got fabulously wealthy somehow.
The evidence that the Bidens, like the Clintons and Obamas were all crime families, and that a large part of their fortunes was selling the US out to China, has been out there forever. John Solomon, Mollie Hemmingway, Dan Bongino, and numerous others wrote books and articles breaking down all this shit, and especially the Biden family’s criminality vis a vis Trump, more than 7 years ago. Tony Babulinski went on Carlson’s show right after the laptop story broke to confirm all these facts about the Biden’s being crooks. The leads of all US intelligence and legal apparatuses knew this going into 2020 and worked to hide it from the public.
We are a banana republic, people.
It’s good to be part of the Inner Party. Which isn’t limited to a D behind your name.
Yeah — funny how this was bloody obvious to anyone slightly paying attention back with Burisma and ole Joe on video bragging about getting the prosecutor fired and all.
“Welcome to the party, pal!” indeed… of course, the MSM is doing their best to pretend the party doesn’t exist (“We’re the popular girl! No one’s going to the Debate geeks party!”), so we’ll see if anything will ever come of it. But it certainly does seem to be the most obvious corruption and treason since Aaron Burr and the Spanish Empire and all. (That we know about, anyway… LBJ probably could beat it given how much of a scumbag he was).
you’d think I’d hear about this. wouldn’t the depart of justice do something?
Only if there was an “R” after his name.
It’s the most obvious corruption scheme in history. Biden famously bragged about using the threat of losing foreign aid to get a pesky Ukrainian prosecutor fired for poking around his kickbacks.
That’s the thing about modern Democratic corruption. Starting with the Clintons and their foundation, they don’t even hide it anymore. They do this shit right out in the open now and dare people to challenge them. It’s an emperor has no clothes moment and the court jesters at CNN and the NYT’s no their role.
“CNN faced calls for a boycott, as evidenced by the spread of the #BoycottCNN on Twitter, over its decision to host Trump for a town hall. A number of people have criticized CNN, including one of its own analysts, former D.C. Metro Police officer Michael Fanone, who wrote an op-ed for Rolling Stone condemning the network for hosting the “guy who tried to get me killed” — a reference to the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.”
CWAA
That fuggin’ guy…
Trump running again is almost worth it for the depraved leftist insanity it produces.
The tears of election night 2016 will be nothing compared to those of a victory a second time.
But we aren’t going to get that.
Nah.
I mean, the tears would be glorious, but rather than the left going over the cliff, it would be the left pushing everyone else off.
“Study of Popular Drinks Found 95 Percent Contained Plasticizers”
Well, bacardi and grapefruit isn’t popular. So there.
Please tell me scotch didn’t make the list.
Get ready to be happy
“Published in Environment International, the researchers analyzed water, cola, juices, wine, and hot drink samples and found that regardless of the packaging, added sugar was found to make the most significance…
The lowest levels of contamination were found in bottled water (2.7 ng/L) and coffee (24 ng/L), followed by wine, sugar-free soft drinks, tea, and juices without added sugars.”
That’s parts per trillion.
Nice of them to throw this line in at the end of scare piece…
Maybe the same people that test Australian gold for purity, test their food?
Dr. Otto brings the BOOM!
Assay what you did there.
Trump made familiar assertions about protecting the Second Amendment, energy policy, and keeping the southern border secure.
Well, he was one for three on those issues while he was President, so maybe he’ll get around to beefing up the Second Amendment and sealing the border if we give him four more years. Probably not, though.
Although the border was in far better shape under Trump than it is now.
Yeah — given the obvious “floodgates are open” once PPP came in and reversed everything OMB did as fast as possible — I’d give him decent marks on the border and on energy policy.
Bad marks on 2nd Amendment issues (letting idiots below him run the show), COVID (same), 2020 election (I agree it was suspicious, but what he should have been doing the past 2-3 years is working hard to get laws / courts / whatnot shored up to clean it up, not just being butthurt and whining…), January 6 (no real support for the political prisoners until just now when it might hurt him in the primary), etc. Plus I don’t think he’s learned jack about getting the right people in place.
All the negatives plus that if he’s the candidate Biden can die and Team Blue will still come out en masse to support him make it not worth it to me. Much rather he shut up already. Never get what I want in politics of course… so obviously it won’t happen.
I basically agree with everything you said.
I agree with everything you said. however all sides have had almost 2.5 year to come up with something, anything better than biden v trump and we’ve got nothing. this is it, our political mainstage is guaranteed to be as dumb and fake as possible. at least trump is entertaining.
at least trump is entertaining
So there is one half of the formula. Ya got yer circus.
This is just moronic. Trump supported a bump stock ban, so he completely whiffed on the second amendment while giving you the Supreme Court that delivered the greatest second amendment victory since the progressive era?
His border policy was a failure? Compared to what?
SCOTUS was Trump’s greatest accomplishment for sure.
I didn’t appreciate this until bruen. and we’re really not even half way done with important decisions.
I’d like to see what any RINO alternative to Trump would have done after the Vegas shooting. I have a small hunch that it would have made any “betrayal” by Trump seem like nothing.
People are getting greedy on the second and take for granted that conservative courts are going to hand them big victories. You aren’t getting those rulings with more John Roberts on the courts.
Any of the Mitt Romney types would have enacted gun control that would have made the assault weapons ban look like child’s play and the Reps in congress would have caved because Rep president would give cover. It would have been a disaster.
Kavanaugh may yet be all that Roberts is.
“I still like government!”
Last night he kept arguing with the moderator over how many miles of wall he built. But that’s not the important part. The fact is, in general he was hostile to illegal immigration, and that’s what kept people away. Just by his talk, and his policy to separate families. The first thing Biden did was say loud and clear, “Come on in! We love you! You’re welcome here!”
Opened my work mail this AM and got an email from a coworker that I had a 4pm meeting yesterday in a tiny conference room. Tested positive for the Commie Cough.
Yeah me! Best part is this coworker religiously wears a mask at work. My anecdotal experience is the maskers are stricken with ‘Vid at higher rates than the “fuck it” (日本語でしょうがない) people.
I’ve got my son’s college graduation this weekend so here’s hoping I’m not sick while traveling, because we all know that sucks.
Who the fuck is still testing?
People who wear masks.
That said, if I felt crappy I’d test. My company had a testing requirement and I’ve probably got at least a dozen boxes (of two each) in the closet. No particular reason other than curiosity.
At my company there’s not any testing, just a policy of “if you’re sick, work from home, don’t come to the office until you’re better”, whether it’s cold flu, whatever.
That’s our current policy as well.
Since I have the tests and the test exists – if I did test positive I wouldn’t return to the office until I had a clear test.
Same. But I haven’t been in the office in two years so there’s that.
My last time in an office was a brief stop in for some DR testing back in 2021 for a half day. Prior to that it was in March of 2020. At the new job in the training classes I got asked if I was going to stop into an office. Several of the newer people in the training were surprised that the closest office to me is over two hours away.

My kids school requests that you do if they are out sick for any reason, and to stay away for 5 days if they throw a positive.
Congrats to your son! Another milestone
Thanks!
What… like maybe they’re weakening their immune systems by trying to self-isolate / cut down on environmental interactions (and of course more likely to boost with the mRNA crap and what not)?
Who could have seen that coming?
Precisely!
…did you respond to the email?
Sure. I said, “Feel better!”
Same as if a coworker had a cold.
Incredible restraint on your part.
Maskers test themselves at far higher rates than “fuck it” people.
Masks aren’t filters that trap stuff in a black hole.
Rather, masks form a reservoir that collects stuff and emits it later. The rate at which if collects stuff is proportional to how empty the reservoir is. The rate at which it emits stuff is proportional to how full the reservoir is.
After a few hours, all the air the masker is inhaling is passing through a germy rag, and with each breath the probability of that virus it snagged early in the morning making it into his or her lungs is increased. Moreover, instead of a virus that was exhaled being exhausted out into the environment never to return, the mask helpfully retains it for a greater than 50% chance that the wearer can reinhale it later.
That’s why chronic masking makes respiratory illnesses worse and more lingering for the wearer.
Nice tunage.
“150,000 Illegal Aliens Massed at the Border”
Now add on the budget problems, Ukraine, fentanyl, Hunter, failing schools, crime, etc. Pretty soon it becomes serious.

I wonder if Comer’s actually going to go through with pushing for the Biden crime family prosecutions. I doubt it, for obvious reasons, but it sounds like he’s still ramping up rather than wrapping up with the investigation.
Then again, there may be a reason why the D establishment might want to wave goodbye to Joe et al. Having said that, I know it’s not possible to be cynical about politics.
With that last comment in mind, I’ll still link to the Lotus Eaters on RFK, Jr.
NYT headline today something like: “House finds no evidence of corruption.”
The Repubs are doing a piss poor job of pushing this story. A memo and a press conference? Easily ignored/discounted. This is 2023 – release the effing bank records and other primary source material. The memo should be a gloss on the actual bank records, not the sole, easily dismissed, basis for the story.

Within minutes, Trump spews election denialism. Kaitlan Collins offers pushback. Trump completely ignores her and barrels right back into election denialism. Congrats to CNN on giving this guy a platform to promote his lies on national TV.

150,000 Illegal Aliens Massed at the Border, Ready to Cross at Midnight When Title 42 Ends
If only there was some way to dissuade them.
Typically an invading force of 150k was met with force instead of welfare benefits.
My favorite part is the Arizona governor touting that AZ National Guard is being deployed.
Of course, their role is to help fill out the paperwork. They aren’t being sent to stop anyone from crossing the border, they are being sent to get them into the system so they can be sent to their new homes in the US.
I know a lifelong Dem who tried to claim Biden is trying to control the border and used the sending of troops as proof. It was sadly a genuine belief.
Ship 1/3 to DC, 1/3 to Scranton, and 1/3 to NYC.
NO.
I hear Chicago is nice this time of year.
Didn’t the deep one ask for more immigrants too?
“Biden says power plants have to reduce pollution by 90% or shut down: EPA announces strict guidelines for green agenda that has already sparked backlash from Republicans and Democrat Joe Manchin
The Biden administration is proposing new limits on greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants, its most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the nation’s second-largest contributor to climate change.
A rule to be unveiled Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency could force power plants to capture smokestack emissions using a technology that has long been promised but is not in widespread use in the U.S.
If finalized, the proposed regulation would mark the first time the federal government has restricted carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, which generate about 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution, second only to the transportation sector.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12072495/Biden-says-power-plants-reduce-pollution-90-shut-down.html
Does Congress actually do anything?
“Insider trading isn’t nothing, maaaaan!”
Neither is hating us and wanting us dead.
Hasn’t the EPA making rules based on carbon output already been declared illegal by he supreme court? I feel like we already had this court case.
To paraphrase “Let them enforce it…” Who is going to stop them if something was declared illegal or unconstitutional?
Sure, they delegate away their power, complain about it, and then collect bribes on the down low.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is on a full court press to annihilate the American economy.
That CCP investment needs its ROI, after all.
Biden says power plants have to reduce pollution by 90% or shut down
So they are going to be shut down. They emit CO2 and water vapor ffs.
I don’t know. They keep trying different versions of this and keep losing when it gets to the supreme court.
Shut down all the plants and do it suddenly. It’s the only way the imbecile American public will learn.
It would only take a week or so. Have them all shut down and say “We’re shutting down because the Biden admin made us.”

Uh, yeah about that glorious counteroffensive victory, um… it’s going to be so successful that we’re going to do it multiple times.
https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/ukraine-seeking-advanced-weapons-for-next-counteroffensive/
“We need everyone on board for the Big Push. And if that doesn’t work, we’ll do Big Push II. And III.”
I won’t fault them for that. Business 101 is to underpromise and overdeliver.
The push for F-16’s always make me wonder who running that particular grift. A few outdated fighters with inexperienced pilots and no AWACS support would quickly be shot down without making any difference to the overall war.
So an attempt to pull NATO in deeper – maybe by putting NATO pilots in the cockpits and getting them killed or captured?
Or maybe General Dynamics has some better lobbyists. I notice they are asking specifically for F-16’s. Not F-15s or 18s and not Euro-fighters. The Swedes laughed a them when Zelensky asked for free Saab Gripens.
Probably the US defense department wants to see how the S-400 air defense system works.
The Ukraine and Turkey already have them – although probably not the latest versions.
including F-16 fighter jets
You don’t know how to use them.
Hey, if a drunk cropduster can do it.
That was an F/A-18.
Whatever – it’s like getting in a different rental car. You just adjust the seat and mirrors and you’re good to go.
Wish it was that easy, or your sarcasm game is much higher than mine…
Seemed clear to me. Normally I’d think east coast style, but that should include you too.
Although my grandfather delivered old and surplus aircraft to the USSR during WW2 and told me the pilots asked about 5 question including stall and landing speeds and took off.
He was surprised to say the least.
When you are out there promoting you are going to do a counter-offensive…uh…they are just grifting. You don’t announce to the enemy you are gearing up to go on the offensive.
I’d also just like to once again compare and contrast the level of proof needed to impugn Biden, or before him Hillary when it comes to foreign money, and the ease with which the NYT’s and the left level accusations against Jared Kushner for getting a deal with the Saudis after leaving office.
When it’s their own side, the left becomes blind, deaf, and dumb. When it’s a R, especially one of the Trumps, they have no problem connecting dots without smoking gun evidence.
Yea. we just had a week of pretending Clarence Thomas was corrupt when thought there was no conflict of interest in taking a vacation with a rich friend.
The Biden family received millions from foreign entities deliberately hidden via a web of about 20 shell companies. No one with an iq above 65 could think this was done for non-corrupt reasons.
@even though
Please. Abe Fortas Jr is a fucking idiot that should have known better, but he’s got his blinders on and the culture of public service is “fuck you, I deserve this”.
Then let’s have a single standard for all. At this point, Sotomayor should be first in line for removal, given that she took millions from a publisher who had, I believe, more than one case appealed to the Court. If we apply the “not a single nickel, in cash or in kind, from anybody, for any reason” standard, then we’ll need a whole new Court.
Never was the intent and never will be. Now stop resisting!
Thomas knows, or should have known, he’s had a target on his back since he was nominated. Yet he goes and does this juvenile dipshit stuff.
And probably do need an entirely new court and public servants generally. There a widespread entitlement mentality that if it’s not specifically and technically prohibited, it’s all ok. No even a pretense of Caesar’s wife.
I do like how Thomas was portrayed for years as ordinary guy who liked to vacation in an RV around the country. Never a hint that he was bumming vacations off a friend.
For the life of me, I can’t imagine any legitimate reason to have 20 shell companies, and to have those companies pay out to 9 or more family members. If you have a consulting business, you have one company, maybe one for each country you deal with. And you don’t pay out from your businesses to family, YOU get paid and then you’re free to distribute that to your family. This is straight up money laundering.
The Dems are smart enough to run their graft through a series of cutouts and shell companies. For example, the Russia dossier on Trump was through Hilarry’s lawyer to a opposition research company to a British spy to Russian sources. Too complicated for the media to follow, or easy for them to wave away if they want to protect her. Same with Biden’s shell companies.
News (Politico) is already working to tie the committee’s work on the shell companies as ‘Russian disinformation’…so really you don’t even need these elaborate schemes when you have the propaganda on your side
Mornin’, reprobates!
Poor feckless little lamb
So CNN, with this ridiculous town hall format and an audience seemingly recruited “from the Mar-a-Lago parking lot,” put its own anchor in a position to fail. The only way Collins really could have even semi-succeeded would have been if she had ignored the audience and the format entirely and instead tried to pin Trump down on each and every one of his false and offensive statements.
Of course, the CNN anchor didn’t — couldn’t! — do that. But format aside, she didn’t do herself any favors, either.
They sent that cute defenseless little girl out there hoping Trump would tear her clothes off and rape her right there on the stage, on live teevee.
false and offensive statements
Such as?
Telling them they were lying about the election being legit.
They thought they would get their “Gotcha moment” and real cool dnc campaign sound bites from him, cause they all see him as a dumb ass idiot, and instead he walked away with a KO and left all the losers with their pussies grabbed.
She is kinda cute. They better have the good sense to keep President Hair Huffer away from her.

Six years later, it’s all over except eating the pizza.
Good to hear.
Did the vexatious litigants get saddled with the bill for the defendants?
I don’t believe so, and the litigants did make noises about appealing the decision, but I haven’t seen any new stories about it.
That is the problem with our legal system – we don’t have loser pays.

“Look, if you want to move down the food chain, that’s your perogative. I’m not going to give up what my ancestors fought for.”

Friendly tip for InBev: if your main product is swill that most of your customers drink because that’s what they used to guzzle in their late teens and there are plenty of equivalent swills on the market don’t attack your consumers. It’s nice to see some nonleftists actually managing to stick to it and inflict some financial pain for being disrespected.
If you haven’t been paying attention, AB-InBev has also managed to piss off the left with the ad campaign too. Several gay bars stopped selling AB-InBev products because the brewery was “too weak in their defense of LGBTQ+ rights”.
As I said to a coworker, “sometimes you just want to drink a beer and not make a political statement”.

Yep. I think the real straw came when the marketing exec who did the promotion said she wanted to get rid of the “fratty” branding that was tied to Bud Light.

I thought Bud Light was too expensive for frats.

Yes. That came out in trade rags a week or so before Mulvaney.

Anglo-American young people are the only generation in decades that is become more “liberal” with age rather than more conservative.

Interestingly in France we get very very different trends, look at the runoff between Le Pen (dark blue) and Macron.
Yes Macron wins with the 18-24 but not with a crushing majority, and he gets overtaken in the 25-34 age group
Data from Italy is also nowhere close to overwhelming domination of the left on young people.

Poland decides to rename a city in Russia. Seems like an odd thing to do.
https://www.barrons.com/news/poland-changes-kaliningrad-s-official-name-in-move-against-russification-e5144378
You’re supposed to rename it AFTER you capture it.
Kaliningrad is a colonialist name.
Kalinin was a Soviet scumbag murderer. Good for Poland.
The Poles are only being belligerent fools because they think we have their back. Compared to the foolishness they’ve been engaging in this is pretty tame. Maybe the Russians can give it back to Prussia so Poland can get invaded again.
I don’t know about that. The Poles have a top notch military (their readiness and doctrine are the best in Europe and considering where the US military is today they might even be better than ours) and decent equipment (most of it from us). Yeah, Russia has nukes, but going into Poland will require the use of those nukes to avoid a complete and total loss.
The problem Poland has and has always had is that defending Poland is like defending Missouri.
So they needed to control from the Urals to the Bay of Biscay?
Perhaps why the definition of the borders of Poland has been so historically flexible.
A solid river defense on one side?

A voice in the wilderness
Chris Christie, once an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, slammed him for being “Putin’s puppet” after Trump dodged a question on whether he wants Ukraine or Russia to win the war.
“Donald Trump refused to say tonight that he wanted Ukraine to win the war with Russia,” he wrote in a tweet that has been viewed over 367,000 times as of press time. “More proof that he continues to be Putin’s puppet.”
Chris Christie, man of principle.
So now he’s going with bullshit Democrat talking points?
What an asshole.
Deep staters will deep state..
You can take the asshole out of NJ, but you aren’t taking the NJ out of that asshole.
whether he wants Ukraine or Russia to win the war
Framing of the question is dishonest when I presume he just wants peace in a conflict that didn’t have to happen. But NATO/US is assho preferred to antagonize Russia.
Much depends, as well, on the undefined term “win”.
The only thing he believes in is cleaning his plate.
Chris Christie, a modern day William Howard Taft. New Jersey’s least bad governor in the last 50 years, what’s not to like?

War… war never changes.
When you are in a battle, your in a moment of time. A moment where you are in battle, not with time, but with a foe, a foe who is also in this moment of time. Think about that. I think about it every moment, like this moment of time. And the time to battle is this moment in time.

Trump calls Collns a “nasty person” on stage.
The crowd, made up of GOP voters in New Hampshire, cheers.
I listened to about 10 minutes of the Trump thing last night. While I liked what he had to say about Ukraine, I had to turn it off. He was just rambling all over the place, changing the subject, and the interviewer was super hostile. I don’t think I could stand another four years of that.
Unless the democrats win the WH again or you get a wet noodle that will just roll over for them (and even then), you will get more years of that. If you are not one of them they will accuse you of being Hitler and come after you with all guns blazing.
Sadly, there is a large part of America onboard with that.

Seemed to me he would answer a question then tie in whatever other message he wanted to get across. I find it all entertaining, myself.
Don’t worry. The coming economic collapse will probably lead to the breakup of the country anyway.
So there is hope?
One guy is never going to fix the problems we’re having. It would take a small army of dedicated like-minded people in the legislature and the institutions. Which is why lawfare is being waged against that potential army.
The best strategy is to move to a red part in a red state and make sure that the right people are in control of the school boards, election boards, the local government (especially the Sherriff’s office) so when unconstitutional edicts start to come down, you know that who is in power locally will fight them. Then after that work on your state government. Give up on the swamp. Retreat, regroup, and fortify.
Work-in-progress + a victory garden.
I’m very fortunate to be in that position. Indiana is pretty red except for a few counties. We live in what Mrs. TOK calls the “guns and Bible belt”. We still have a prayer before some school functions.

Speaking of disinformation…
There were not fine people on both sides of Charlottesville.
The January 6th rioters were not good people.
End of story.
You are still lying about both events and Trump’s comments on them.
How many of the Jan 6th “rioters” (a more honest description than anything else I’ve seen come from his White House or DOJ) had felony rap sheets a mile long? How many pedophiles? Wife beaters etc.? Rittenhouse was 3/3 on scumbags he shot.
Oh, that’s a fun line – Rittenhouse killed more people than Jan 6th!
He’s right – Antifa at Charlottesville were worthless scum.
Now do the rioters in the Senate during the Kavanaugh hearings, and in Tennessee. Then tell us about Susan Rosenberg (BLM Fundraiser) and the 1983 Capital Bombing.

Disinformation experism
An expert who once oversaw a Department of Homeland Security disinformation board filed a defamation suit Wednesday against Fox News, her lawyer said.
Nina Jankowicz said in the suit, filed in Delaware state court, that she was subjected to violent threats because of Fox News’ portrayal of her and her role, which included insults made on the network.
“Fox’s coverage of Jankowicz was neither news nor political commentary; it was cheap, easy entertainment untethered from the facts, designed to make consumers believe that Jankowicz could and would suppress their speech,” her attorneys wrote in the suit. “Fox chose to lie about Jankowicz deliberately.”
——-
She said at the time that the board’s purpose was to ensure that DHS followed best practices in combatting disinformation while protecting Americans’ freedom of speech, privacy and civil liberties.
Comments on Fox News portrayed her as censoring Americans’ speech, the suit argues. She was called “unhinged” and a “Minister of Truth” in an apparent reference to George Orwell’s dystopian world in “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” the suit says.
The lawsuit included screenshots of comments on Gab and another website, Patriots.win, in which people reacted to Fox broadcasts with comments like “time to kill them all.” Tweets said she should be executed.
The peasants are revolting.
First, the truth is an absolute defense; second, she is a public figure. Her lawyers should be publically horsewhipped and disbarred.
1. She is fucking unhinged. No Fox News commentary needed to come to that. Just watch her sing about stopping the spread of bad think.
2. Fox News set a horrible precedent by settling with Dominion.
Anytime you insult people nowadays just throw in an in my opinion or it appears to be, otherwise you’re open to lawfare.
Just ignore the idiotic videos she made where she sings like a deranged Broadway starlet about censoring people. Wouldn’t she be considered a public figure? If so this suit has no legs.
Emboldened by Fox rolling over on the Dominion lawsuit which they could have easily won.
Yeah, one of the versions I’ve heard is that discovery in the Dominion case would have pulled a bunch of e-mails (on various subjects) into the public view and that a lot of those e-mails made people at the top of the company look very bad. So, the settlement was more to prevent discovery (although CATO is absolutely convinced it was a righteous bust).
Hell, one of the Dominion VPs was out there boasting he would personally make sure Trump didn’t win. That one has been completely memory-holed.
I can only imagine what their internal comms look like.
Oops, I didn’t phrase that well. It was the internal Fox communications that led to the settlement.
Gosh, Fox, you roll over in one lawsuit and pay out 9 figures, and you start catching more lawsuits? Who could have seen that coming?
something ferrous something?
to make consumers believe that Jankowicz could and would suppress their speech
That was literally the job description. And she is doing it now with this lawsuit.
combatting disinformation while protecting Americans’ freedom of speech
Pick one. You cannot have both, especially considering “disinformation” is just information that the regime doesn’t like.
Just another example of “Reporting exactly what I said is defamation” that we’ve seen from the left.
The lawsuit alleges defamation and seeks compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages; the amounts are not spelled out.
The coverage created a “completely false reputation concerning government censorship,” the suit alleges.
Another case of “I’m not sorry I did it. I’m just sorry you found out what I was doing.”
“150,000 Illegal Aliens Massed at the Border, Ready to Cross at Midnight When Title 42 Ends”
The usual suspects have, for years, put a ton of effort into pretending that there’s not been an active invasion going on. The “continual trickle” thing has helped them keep up the pretense. They’re getting wise to the fact that this “surge” will make it even harder to ignore and pretend.
This is an invasion. And. Everybody. Knows. It. This is why the US Army exists.
So apparently the Biden admin is rushing in a stopgap on asylum seeking. The left is whining predictably.

That’s right up there with Jankowicz’s lawyers saying “combatting disinformation and protecting free speech”.
Group therapy, that’s what it is
“It doesn’t matter what the argument was about, it was not the place to have it,” she said. “What they don’t realize is that the rest of the community was still watching and a number of people have been dissuaded from the toxic nature. They’re like, ‘I can’t be a part of that. I get enough of that in my daily life.’ And I’ve watched that side of it with great sadness.”
Ultimately, Grills said the public hearings have been an invaluable asset for the task force and Black Californians.
“America has essentially tried to dismiss or erase the truth about who we are and what was done to us, and so when you feel a glimmer of hope when you’re able to publicly tell your story,” she said. “Reparations mean at least there’s an attempt to get the wrongs righted, to get people to see you, to hear you — and to get some of that by speaking at the hearings can offer some personal reflection that always needed to be released. And that’s a good thing.”
And will this retaliatory scab-picking have any positive result?
I doubt it.
at least there’s an attempt to get the wrongs righted
You were not wronged. Go away now.
GAH!
Uh, Tres?

We’ve largely forgotten what total war actually means. The average American has no comprehension of the death and destruction it will visit upon them personally. In their minds, it’s always someone else who has to die for “freedom.”

A minor setback
A federal appeals court overturned all fraud convictions Wednesday of two parents who were found guilty of paying bribes to get their kids into elite universities as part of a sprawling college admissions scandal.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals tossed all convictions against Gamal Abdelaziz and all but one conviction of another parent, John Wilson. The Boston-based appeals court upheld Wilson’s conviction on a charge of filing a false tax return.
——-
The government was allowed to introduce a “significant amount of powerful evidence related to other parents’ wrongdoing in which these defendants played no part, creating an unacceptable risk that the jury convicted Abdelaziz and Wilson based on others’ conduct rather than their own,” the judges wrote.
The ruling is a blow for prosecutors, who netted more than 50 convictions in the scandal that ensnared prominent businesspeople, celebrities and other wealthy parents across the country. Coaches from schools including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and the University of California, Los Angeles, admitted to accepting bribes.
A spokesperson for Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said her office is reviewing the opinion and assessing its next steps.
Those poor prosecutors.
The best thing to come out of that whole scandal was a revealed email wherein some woman complained along the lines of, “We spent [can’t remember how many hundreds of thousands of dollars] and my kid only got into Arizona State!”
Sweet, salty tears.

Nah, media is burying it. Not talking about it. FedGov made sure to capture the news cycle with the Santos arrest.
The corruption stories have been around for years. In the last week or so, attention on it has ramped up considerably. Even in the MSM.
The best thing that could happen would be for some acceptable (I like Kennedy but he’s largely a protest candidate) challenger to get too big for his britches, jump in, and they go all scorched earth on each other.

Make America California Again!
The Dems have lost their fucking minds if that oily used-car salesman is a serious contender for them.
From what I can tell, and I mostly ignore the palace intrigue, there’s only three Dems really in the running at this point – Biden, who I think is unlikely to actually run. Harris, whose ability to attract voters may actually be negative.
And Newsom. I don’t take the chatter about Hillary and Michelle seriously, although we aren’t a serious country, so maybe I should. At this point, I think Newsom is the most likely candidate. And the Dem wins in 2024, no matter who the Repubs run or what the economy looks like or what wars we are fighting. The fortification of 2020 was cemented in 2022 – the Repub has no path to electoral college victory. Bank on it.
“I think Newsom is the most likely candidate”
I assume that’s the main reason he vetoed the reparations bill.
I don’t think anyone is very serious.
It’s stupidly easy to prove Hunter had no-show jobs, leaving the obvious explanation as the only possible explanation – these jobs were to launder influence payments.

Yet not even the Repubs supposedly pursuing this ever quite manage to ask the obvious questions.

Unexpectedly
According to the world’s most famous investor, the “incredible period” for the U.S. economy has been coming to an end in recent months. And even his own company, Berkshire Hathaway, isn’t immune.
“The majority of our businesses will report lower earnings this year than last year,” Buffett cautioned at Berkshire’s annual meeting on Saturday.
That’s a somewhat surprising statement from a man who has famously been ultra-bullish on the U.S. economy.
But persistently high inflation, higher interest rates and the ongoing banking crisis have all made Buffett much more concerned about investment gains in the year ahead. His partner, Charlie Munger, echoed this sentiment. “Get used to making less,” he said.
The duo’s pessimism about the economy was also reflected in the company’s investment portfolio.
Who would have guessed your pet retard in the White House would actually follow through on those campaign promises? Who thought he would really tank the economy just to prove his righteous devotion to progressive orthodoxy? Who knew your folksy social signalling (and that of the rest of the “financial elite”) would be taken seriously?
They mean it when they tell you they want to fuck everyone over. They really mean it when they tell you they want to save Gaia (which means they want to cull humanity).
Florida Man wipes the floor with CNN panel.

I’m trying not to reach the conclusion that the only solution to many of our current problems requires mass graves.
The left wants to reduce human population in the west, because they are convinced the way to a more just society is to go back to an agrarian and primitive one for everyone else but them.
The best interest of these kids always seems to line up with this particular doctor’s financial interests. Funny that.
With Berkshire boasting a cash hoard of $130 billion at the end of Q1, it seems that Buffett’s favorite asset right now is US treasury bills. The Oracle significantly boosted his treasury and cash equivalent holdings during the quarter.
That could be a savvy move for retail investors as well — as the interest rate on savings accounts rises.
Treasuries? Seriously?
Buy War Bonds!
T-Bills are short term, a decent place to sit out a crap market and rising inflation/interest rates. Stock and bond investments will decline as rates go up in a recession. Cash loses value as inflation runs. T-bills get you out of stocks and bonds and give you some inflation protection, as they roll over into higher rate T-bills when rates rise.
I don’t think Buffett ever tries to time the market. If he doesn’t see any attractive buying opportunities he will pile up cash until good buys come along.
