why a federal judge tossed Nick Sandmann's $250M defamation lawsuit against the Washington Post

In short, leftists always support each other and this judge says it is legal for a journalist to defame a person, thus giving journalists a special privilege. If a non-journalist does the same thing, this judge would rule in favor of the lawsuit and order the conservative (I mean non-journalist) to pay up the $250 million immediately.

Sorry. - I haven’t even seen a copy since grad school & that was “when dinosaurs roamed the Earth”.
(An old prof loaned me his copy & I struggled through it in 1976.)

Btw, I may well have been wrong about the last migration from East Asia. = An old friend from when I was still working was a member of a rich/old family from Northern Pakistan & whose family was once a major trader on The Silk Road for eons.
One afternoon in 1990 or 91, she called me to ask if I could get her a “behind the scenes tour” of the Smithsonian’s American Indian Museum. - I called the museum, asked if that was possible & was told that a staff-member would show her anything that any member of the public could be shown on that Thursday.
On Thursday morning we arrived at opening time & were shown into the museum & thereafter were asked if we wanted to join a “special tour” for AI college students from AK. = We said, “YES”.
About an hour later, I noted that Muslima was having a conversation with one of the students in a language that I’d not heard before & asked my friend about the conversation, as I was surprised that she spoke Inuit. - She said, “No. I was talking to her in my own language.” She further said that the coed’s grammar, word usage is ‘old-school’, stilted & her pronunciation is a just a bit odd but she was completely understandable.”
On the way back to VA, I asked my friend further questions & she said that the young lady had told her that her people had come to AK “in the time of the grandfathers”.
From that conversation alone, I wonder if the Inuit may have been in AK such a short time that the language spoken in at least one part of rural Pakistan may not have changed since some “native speakers” went to the Americas & that at least some of the Inuit people may have come to AK fairly recently.
(NO, I don’t know any more than that & I’m just guessing.)

Note: Our people, when describing a time that is long ago, often say: “Many Winters have passed” since then. - I wonder if “in the time of the grandfathers” is a similar idiom.

Yeah - retool it and hit'em again.

 

Anybody notice how the 2-minutes-of-hate stories aimed at Trump supporters have largely evaporated out of the media? Used to be there would be some alleged incident of bullying by Trump people getting passed around periodically - even on local TV stations here, from time to time they would have some mook mentalcase from one of the area colleges going on about how they were threatened by MAGA hatted ruffians - just verbal accusations without a shred of documented evidence and yet they still aired it every newscast. After Sandmann went on the attack, that stuff dried up. I think he got the attention of a whole lot of somebodies, put a much needed dampening effect on that recklessness.

Senile judge pretty much said Press and ilk can keep shoveling fake news and lies and libel and slander and such with impunity...

[trebb]

Also makes one wonder why great power doesn’t also require great responsibility....

A senile, partisan Dhimmicrap who shouldn’t be allowed to rule on what he’s having for dinner let alone any legal matter.
