You are right. Powers was not a plaintiff.

She was a FOXNews contributor, a contracted guest, who was not an onsite employee, but an independent contractor who also wrote regularly for USA Today, and was independent author of at least one book.

She is a rather recent convert to Christianity and has written about how and why that came about. She is a liberal and frequently served O’Reilly’s show, as the “balance”, presenting the Leftist, or moderate Leftist view (depending on the issue).

I love Nigel Farage. I hate George Will. Wonderful tradeoff. I smell Trump’s fine hand in this, behind the scenes in cahoots with Murdoch who wants to be on President Trump’s good side, now that Trump is the top dog. Trump hates Will and loves Nigel who will now be an advocate for Trump on Fox. Win, Win for Trump, Farage, Murdoch.

Big lose for Will, and collaterally for Charles Krauthammer, who is Will’s personal friend and it was Kraut that got Will to come to Fox. That didn’t turn out so well. Wonder if Kraut will jump ship at some point now that his mutual love of baseball buddy Will is gone. He might stay because he is in a wheelchair and can’t jump ship (literally) that easily. No wonder he’s been quite dour of late. I’m sure Kraut blames Trump for Will’s departure, and he’s right, lol.

I heard a Brit describing the British tabloids. “On the front page, they’ll have a headline: ‘Politician photograhped in women’s clothes.’ Inside you find out it was Margaret Thatcher.”

Thank heaven that where there's a Will there's a way out.

Adios Will, you fricking globalist!

I bet when George Will heard who will be replacing him, his bowtie started spinning around and has not stopped.

I happened to get a timely phone call today from my British cousin from Chingford, England (a borough of London). He's a retired Covent Garden opera singer and a dyed-in-the-wool Tory.

I was so happy he called as I was anxious to talk a little international politics with him (on his shilling, of course, lol).

The upshot of the conversation was that President Trump is very, very popular in Shakespeare's "sceptred isle". The folks there are looking forward to their Prime Minister's scheduled visit with Trump next week...and the general mood my cousin senses is one similar to ours...excitement, hope and confidence....and great expectations for a fruitful and close relationship between the President and Prime Minister Theresa May who is representing our long-time ally in this DC "summit".

My cousin is a great fan of Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party who was also the figurehead of (and one of the brains behind) the successful Brexit movement...and a great Trump supporter, to boot!

When I told him that the highest-rated cable news network here had signed Nigel on as a regular commentator, he was delighted...and he sounded quite proud!

The motto of England is "Dieu et mon droit" (God and My Right)

Our motto right now is "Make America Great Again".

A winning combination for our two great English-speaking nations!

This morning’s news I hear the SCOGB (supreme court in GB) said Brexit cannot go ahead without approval from parliament. So...the unelected justices have more power than all the voters? None of the three branches, should be superior to a nationwide referendum by the people.
