The government and 48 states and districts sued Facebook in December 2020 They accused Facebook of abusing its market share to crush competitors The suit potentially sought the forced sale of Instagram and WhatsApp A US district judge on Monday ruled that the lawsuits were 'legally insufficient' He said they did not provide enough evidence that Facebook was a monopoly These allegations - which do not even provide an estimated actual figure or range for Facebook's market share at any point over the past ten years - ultimately fall short of plausibly establishing that Facebook holds market power,' he said....

Good Evening/Night And WELCOME TO THE MARK LEVIN SHOW!!!!Mr. Levin Who Is A Constitutional Loving American And A Attorney.

THE Taliban have seized control of a THIRD of Afghanistan as they continue to accelerate their blitz offensive while the US continues to withdraw their forces. The US has wasted nearly $1trillion on the "pointless" 20-year battle trying to stave off the terror group who are fighting to gain ultimate control over the war-torn country. The Taliban have been on tenterhooks to forge ahead with their scheme since President Joe Biden announced the withdrawal of troops back in April and have since continued at "lightning speed". Jihadist forces have now advanced across rural areas, putting them in reaching distance of...

The Winnebago County Republican Party has removed a racist meme from its official Facebook page after drawing hundreds of critical comments. The meme, posted on Monday, shows a picture of a white man above a list of seven "warning signs of WHITE SUPREMACY." They include things like full time employment, literacy, auto insurance, good credit rating and no criminal record. While some Facebook users appeared to agree with the post, other comments coming, including from some-self identified Republicans, called it disgusting and inappropriate. An unnamed administrator of the Winnebago County Republican Party page pushed back, claiming the post highlighted critical...

Dusk - I Hear Those Church Bells RingingMargaret "Peggy" Santiglia is still alive today at the relatively sprightly age of 77 (she was born about a month before D-Day). She was a singer-songwriter of the "girl group" era, having performed in groups such as "The Delicates" and "The Angels ("My Boyfriend's Back"). Exactly 50 years ago today, Margaret hit the Billboard Hot 100 with a band called "Dusk" - which was the answer band to Dawn (that Tony Orlando fronted). The song was called "I Hear Those Church Bells Ringing" and it is now a mostly forgotten girl band classic....

Earlier this year, former Clinton Treasury Secretary and erstwhile Harvard President Larry Summers was pilloried by his fellow Democrats for daring to suggest that the firehose of COVID-inspired fiscal and monetary stimulus would likely cause runaway inflation. Then, over the weekend, Summers doubled down on that (so far, correct) call, warning that inflationary pressures might be more persistent than the Fed’s Chairman Jerome Powell (who continues to insist that price pressures will ultimately be “transitory” despite the FOMC’s decision to move up its expectations for the timing of rate hikes to account for hotter-then-expected inflationary prints) has let on. Now,...

According to reports, government thugs in California are scouring the streets and going door-to-door in search of unvaccinated residents who are being bullied into getting vaccinated.

A crucial witness who was used to establish the deep state’s case against Julian Assange has confessed to lying in order to frame the WikiLeaks founder. Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson said to journalists at Grabien that he lied about Assange to get the Department of Justice and FBI off his back so he could perform criminal crimes without fear of repercussions. Thordarson is accused of defrauding WikiLeaks after promising to sell the organization’s products. He then approached the federal government in the hopes of becoming an informant and saving his own skin. Additionally, “according to a psychiatric assessment presented to the...

Usually, an Alaska Senate race in what is more than likely to be a GOP favored year wouldn’t make much noise. While it has trended towards democrats, it hasn’t done so to the point where the state is competitive. At least at the federal level. But 2022’s senate race will bring multiple storylines. Part of it will be Alaska’s new electoral system of a top four blanket primary runoff for the general. The other part is the status of incumbent Lisa Murkowski. While some, like Elections Daily Editor-in-chief Eric Cunningham, initially felt that Murkowski would be fine, that momentum is...

CHICAGO -- Six people were killed and 68 others were wounded in weekend shootings in Chicago as the city reaches the halfway point of what could be one of its most violent years in decades. Four of the attacks were mass shootings with four or more people wounded. The attacks accounted for about a third of all the shooting victims between Friday evening and early Monday morning.

The Roman philosopher Cicero once said that gratitude is the parent of all virtues. It’s not difficult to see how this would be true. Gratitude is a virtue which contains many other virtues. In order to be truly grateful to someone, or for something, you must also be humble, prudent and kind. Gratitude is the sister of generosity — the latter in the giving, the former in the receiving. If one is present in an interaction but not the other, there is a risk that soon both will be lost. Anyone who has ever tried to be consistently generous to...

So, my wife and I were looking at moving back to NE Alabama after a year displaced by COVID. We had a place lined up that fell through due to some septic issues. We've been checking out listings as they pop up and today saw a 4 bed, 2 bath come on the market with 1,911 sq. ft and 3.4 acres, that noted, "Plus Fenced in Area for Farm Animals!" So, I'm checking out the pics, and there's some kind of critter that looks like a mix between a hyena and a pig with mange. WTF is that?

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley may have an impressive service record on and off the battlefield but I wouldn’t send him out on a reconnaissance mission right now to determine the numbers, strength and intentions of any adversary right now if he considers the likes of Anna Morgan Lloyd a threat to the republic. Lloyd, a 49-year-old grandmother from Indiana, was the first person to be sentenced for charges linked to the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol. The unarmed tourist spent two days in the custody of the Harris-Biden DOJ for the crime of...

Seated around a conference table are a handful of city officials touting the first Office of Violence Prevention, and its mission to evaluate the effectiveness of tens of millions in taxpayer-funded violence prevention programs.
