“The former president may have falsified business records for hush money payments to cover up this alleged affair with an adult film actress. Do you have any concerns about that?”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy: “Remember when the DNC and Hillary Clinton …”
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
I’ve only recently become aware of it because DeSantis has taken to saying the quiet parts out loud.
DeSantis explains the New Right in 60 seconds. He knows What Time It Is: “We’re creating a model for what a free society should be. Yes: freedom for you to not be constrained by government—all conservatives have always believed that—but also, freedom for you to live your life without having the pathologies of the Left imposed upon you from all the other institutions in society.”
If Fox News spends the rest of its miserable life bleeding out in a Delaware courtroom, America wins.
Who did you expect them to throw under a bus? Some white guy?
A Fox News producer who has worked with the hosts Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson filed lawsuits against the company in New York and Delaware on Monday, accusing Fox lawyers of coercing her into giving misleading testimony in the continuing legal battle around the network’s coverage of unfounded claims about election fraud.
The producer, Abby Grossberg, said Fox lawyers had tried to position her and Ms. Bartiromo to take the blame for Fox’s repeated airing of conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems and its supposed role in manipulating the results of the 2020 presidential election. Dominion has filed a $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox. Ms. Grossberg said the effort to place blame on her and Ms. Bartiromo was rooted in rampant misogyny and discrimination at the network.
The new lawsuits, coupled with revelations from the Dominion legal fight, shed light on the rivalries and turf battles that raged at Fox News in the wake of the 2020 election, as network executives fought to hold on to viewers furious at the top-rated network for accurately reporting on President Donald J. Trump’s defeat in Arizona, a crucial swing state.
Yellen Says Bank Situation Stabilizing
Heck of a job, Coonsie!
I would think that because Carper sold his whole position in the SPDR S&P Bank ETF ( $KBE ) on March 1st. SVB collapses March 13.

That site doesn’t work for me. I think Apollo group is somehow involved. Lots of congresspeople dumped Apollo just prior to SVB going ka-plooey.
Congress critters immune from insider trading laws?
Rhetorical question. The answer is ‘yes’.
Seriously, NOBODY is gonna primary this guy??
Nope, not a primary to be had at this point, sad as the politicians need constant reminders that we know what their up to, and it’s not the rule of law. Needs money, would guess a million for starts. That and the Delaware electorate remains asleep at all possible switches.
Big elections in Red Clay school board this year.
13th Republican Carlucci Coelho (whose whole campaign against DeShanna neal was calling them a socialist and a bad parent for having a trans kid) is running against Jose Matthews. Throw Jose some money. This could get dirty. http://www.jose4redclay.com
AJe English Wynn is running for the other seat in Red Clay. It’s currently held by the awesome Adriana Bohm, who is not running for reelection after a decade on the Board. One candidate John Shulli’s Twitter seems to be a dumpster fire of Trumpism. Another candidate Jing Han doesn’t seem to have much out there. Throw AJe some money http://www.ajeforredclay.com
Thanks!
