Apologies, unfinished thought.

The goal should not be enriching ourselves through litigation against leftists. The use of the courts against the left should be to modify their behavior and tactics to advance our conservative beliefs, to preserve our Constitutional Republic and what it stands for so future generations can enjoy what we see disappearing before our very eyes. That said, as a practical matter, I understand and agree there are cases where financial retribution is called for as in the case of this young man who stood to loose his potential life’s future income to this incident.

Now please follow . . .think how the left has taken many small private business owners to court and ruined their livelihood while advancing the homosexual agenda. The left does not care about the cake or the service allegedly denied; they care about behavior modification of those like-minded with the left’s accused. They want to intimidate and, by the self-censoring of those who disagree with the left, appear as if they are just, the majority in popular thought and way of the future. Unfortunately, conservatives can be their worst enemies. We believe in individualism and as such let our conservative brethren hang in the wind of liberalism until they become tattered and ragged thus reinforcing the left’s tactics. In contrast, the left with their communal beliefs, hangs together no matter how crazy their goals may be. Imagine how much conservatives could accomplish if they had the stick-togetherness of leftists?

We need to be on offense in the courts, in the internet, on the public square; unafraid and unapologetic for what we believe or else the time may come when it will be too late to save this Republic. Let’s pray that does not come to pass.

Regards.

We have settled with WAPO and CNN.

The fight isn’t over. 2 down. 6 to go.

10%? He will be lucky if he got 1% of that, plus his attorney’s fees.

Still, not bad to start like not having to worry about stuff.

I wonder when the F150 Predator will be delivered?

You misunderstand. Sorry, I assumed you’d understand the sarcasm about how the media & Democrats talk about Trump’s NDA’s.

There is nothing wrong with NDA’s.

Half to taxes.
Half of what remains to attorneys.

Still, hopefully, plenty.

Hate NDA’s or any redactions. I’d be happy if the courts simply ruled them unenforceable.

We ought to pass a law declassifying *everything* after some number of years (like 5), too.

But enough to make then think again about the way they write...10% of 250 million is 25 million x thousands of lawsuits...Could get pricey after awhile....

People know post caved.....That’s all that’s needed.....

A great victory that needs to happen more often to the Marxist-Media/Propaganda-Press.

To the left, NDAs only matter selectively and there are no adverse repercussions if they leak mutually agreed private dealings among citizens if it forwards their agenda. I recall a certain Republican US Senate candidate from the state on IL who withdrew late in the campaign because his embarrassing divorce agreement was leaked in the press. Never mind the court filings were sealed and both parties agreed not to disclose. End result was a democrat winning the election almost unopposed after spending only two or so years in the IL capitol (last minute replacement did not have time to put together a coherent campaign). Already guessed who?

To this day not a single person bothered to look into the egregious breach of privacy, trampling of rights and outright dirty politics, but that is IL for you anyway. So, like many laws, only the law abiding follow them. Lesson is: criminals and those who want to advance their political ideology at any cost do not care about the law. Yep, that lesson is quite obvious yet worth repeating, if not outright redundant.

Regards.

Probably got much less than 10% of that. Not enough to hurt the paper financially.

As the paper is owned by Jeff Bezos, even a settlement of a billion dollars would not hurt.

Any payout from Bezos should have been based on 25% plus mandatory dirt nap as interest...

Plus the admission of guilt by the Newspaper.

Nope.

The Post admitted no wrongdoing in settling with the family of Nicholas Sandmann...

(Google WAPO article on settlement as I have no intention of posting the link.

Ticker Carlson aired a clip of a ditz reporter from NBC trying to goad the teen into confessing. What was she trying to accomplish, make him cry? Hopefully, she learned a lesson in that her stupidity is shameful.

So why then did they settle? They have set a precedent that may sink them... I hope.
