Indeed she does.
Golly gee. January 3rd to today.
September 30th comes EVERY year. And we go through this EVERY year. And yet Maria pretends to be oblivious.
They dither ON PURPOSE to get to September 30th, so they can yell and scream so we’ll get a CR that’ll take us to December, then yell and scream so we get a CR that’ll take us to March.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat. But Maria’s among the smart set right?
IMHO, Gaetz was being a brat in that set. Maria takes orders from no one; she’s the best in the business, the best I’ve ever seen. She sees no sense in the reckless “give me all I want or I knock the chessboard to the floor” posture.
Levin came on afterward and put some sense into what is going on. It looks like Gaetz is going for a Pyrrhic win.
Rupert Murdoch steps down as Fox chairman names son Lachlan as successor

Who is Lachlan Murdoch and what will happen to Fox and News Corp?
At Trinity School he formed the Trinity Conservative Society
Lachlan’s conservatism is (more) vigorous......;
His views were usually to the right of his father’s.
It wouldn’t be unfair to categorize him as a conservative
(Reuters) -Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of media titan Rupert Murdoch, was named the sole chairman of News Corp and will continue as the chair and chief executive of Fox Corp, the companies said on Thursday, settling for now the issue of succession in one of the world’s most powerful media empires.
The younger Murdoch will preside over influential news brands such as the Wall Street Journal, Fox News and the Sun – in Australia, the United States and UK – as well as Fox Sports, Fox Entertainment and others.
Lachlan Murdoch, 52, is the third-oldest of Rupert Murdoch’s six children. Born in London to Murdoch and his second wife, Anna, he grew up steeped in the media business. In an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Dynasties” program, he said that every morning, before catching the school bus, he and his siblings would read the morning papers - The New York Post, The New York Times, the Daily News and the Wall Street Journal - with his father flagging stories of interest, ordering: “Read that.”
The best way to capture their father’s attention in the evenings was to talk about media or politics, according to Paddy Manning’s 2022 biography, “The Successor.” As Lachlan Murdoch got older, he would spend summers working in the family business, cleaning the presses for Sydney’s “Daily Mirror,” or working as a cub reporter for the “San Antonio Express-News.”
Lachlan Murdoch and his siblings attended Dalton, a private school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and other elite schools, including Trinity School, where he formed the Trinity Conservative Society, “In an attempt to create a healthy balance between all points of view,” according to one yearbook entry cited by Manning.
After graduating in 1994 from Princeton, where he majored in philosophy, he entered the family business, spending three years in Australia, ascending the corporate ladder to become chairman of News Limited.
In 1999, Lachlan Murdoch assumed responsibility for print operations in the U.S. He rose to deputy chief operating officer at News Corp, overseeing the company’s U.S. television stations group and publishing assets, including the New York Post. Many saw him as being trained to assume the corporate reins as his father’s successor.
The sale of Fox’s entertainment assets to Walt Disney in 2019, in a $71-billion transaction, shrank the size of the Murdochs’ once-vast media holdings. The newly constituted Fox was reduced to a handful of assets, including the Fox broadcast network, Fox News, Fox Sports and Fox Business, with Lachlan Murdoch serving as its executive chair and chief executive officer.
Brother James Murdoch left Fox with the close of the Disney transaction.
As chief executive of Fox Corp since 2019, Lachlan Murdoch has presided over the media properties during seismic change in the industry, as viewers cut their cable subscriptions in favor of streaming services. Even so, Fox News has largely maintained its rating dominance, in part because of its appeal among politically conservative-leaning American viewers.
Lachlan Murdoch doesn’t speak publicly about his politics, according to an article in the New York Times magazine, which cited the 2016 memoir “Making Headlines,” by Chris Mitchell, the longtime editor of The Australian, as describing “Lachlan’s conservatism is more vigorous than that of any Australian politician” and that his views were usually to the right of his father’s.
A Fox spokesperson called that “just speculation,” adding “I wouldn’t want to put a label on him, but it wouldn’t be unfair to categorize him as a conservative.”

Yeah-No!
Maria of the Young Global Leaders of the W.E.F. and member of the Council of Foreign Relations, that Maria?
Gaetz is correct that Republican hearings that lead to nothing are useless. Republicans are good at having hearings. They fail in having those hearings result in anything significant.
And she was a WEF young leader.
Matt Gaetz is always a brat. He is a self-serving snake oil salesman who looks like a slickster televangelist. Do not trust Matt Gaetz.
Bttt
.
Hunter and Joe’s Crimes easily go back to 2013.
Hunter has never been asked a single question by Congress, FBi, and the DoJ.
Not one question. That tells me it’s fake.
.
.
Gaetz is correct in that it’s all for show.
No Budget impact ever. No question put to Hunter, ever.
Wrong. The bottom line is that GOPe ALWAYS kicks the hard choice to next year. Gaetz was dead accurate. McCarthy goves us nothing except meaningless committees and stern words... but he always deliver the cash... to Ukraine, to the new multibillion FBI HQ, for the woke military, you name it. He funded Biden’s “inflation reduction” monstrosity.
Bartiromo was a McCarthy shill in that clip.
There has to be a line somewhere. There is no reason to wait.
By the way, whatever happened to a news reporter asking a question and letting the newsmaker answer it at leisure without him needing to overpower her to get a word in edgewise? She was not trying to learn what he thought. She was an ADVOCATE, pushing the GOP position and trying to shout down and argue with the guy she was supposedly interviewing.
She beclowned herself.
.
The Murdochs got rid of Lou Dobbs and Trish Regan - so I guess Maria wants to keep her job.
He contradicted her attempted support of McCarthy's inaction with clear, substantive ideas of what McCarthy should be doing in order to fight the Biden/DOJ/Gov corruption.
He was pushing to actually use the power of the purse to stop all this corruption. Corruption and destruction that is clear to most who are paying attention.
Why is that being a brat?
Love your storm threads. Always informative.
This republican party are useless.
