Let’s enter Fantasyland for a moment. Let’s pretend for a sec that our country had a news media that was interested in bringing you the news, not in lecturing you about your moral inferiority (You’re so bad) or lying to you in transparently obvious ways (January 6 was an insurrection, guys) or even in forcing you to repeat whatever childish slogan they’ve come up with this week.Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. OK. Transwomen are women. All right. Say it or else.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his popular show Tucker Carlson Tonight by ridiculing National Public Radio (NPR) for their clownish new double standard on the Second Amendment rights of Americans. Apparently, only the LGBTQ alphabet mob is permitted to own firearms, according to U.S. state media outlet. Carlson called them out using sarcastic humor and ridicule in a way only he can pull off. Setting the stage, Carlson narrated: “[T]he other day, we’re driving through Cambridge in the old hybrid Subaru, adjusting our surgical masks to cover both nose and mouth and listening needless to say to National Public...

Aussie girl Lorna Hodgkinson was the first woman to earn a doctor of education degree from Harvard University in 1922. In Australia, she spoke up critically to an official enquiry about mismanagement in care for intellectually disabled children. The government minister set up another enquiry which trashed her reputation with false allegations. She left government service and thrived in the private sector. As Harry Houdini said of his own work: “My chief task has been to conquer fear."

NEW ORLEANS — President Joe Biden’s order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 was blocked Thursday by a federal appeals court. The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected arguments that Biden, as the nation’s chief executive, has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require that employees be vaccinated. The ruling from the full appeals court, 16 full-time judges at the time the case was argued, reversed an earlier ruling by a three-judge 5th Circuit panel that had upheld the vaccination requirement. Judge Andrew Oldham, nominated to the court by then-President...

Stacy Roope says her 16-year-old son Trey is bullied every day in the hallways and even while walking to school. She said her son is constantly tormented, and what’s worse is that he isn’t able to defend himself. “Trey is not afraid of the kids who bully him, but in the back of his mind he’s always thinking about what’s going to happen today,” Roope said. “It’s an emotional roller coaster that happens to him every day, one day he could walk to the school with no issues, the next day he’s getting slammed into the lockers.” Roope, of Helena,...

As a young military officer at the height of the war on terror, Lt. Ron DeSantis was often seen running on the beach of Guantánamo Bay and along its ridgeline, encircling Camp America. It was a chaotic time at the U.S. military detention facility in Cuba, and as an ambitious Navy lawyer, DeSantis was positioned to witness history up close. He arrived at Joint Task Force Guantanamo in the spring of 2006 as its leaders were grappling with multiple challenges and global scrutiny. Aggressive tactics were adopted to break a hunger strike. An armed clash erupted between detainees and a...

The Republican Boys Choir ~ A Salute to Ronald Reagan (Charlton Heston, Dean Martin, Michael Landon, Pat Boone, Fred MacMurray, Robert Stack, Buddy Ebsen)

Israel ratified a law on Thursday limiting the circumstances in which a prime minister can be removed, despite worries voiced by a government jurist that it may be meant to shield the incumbent Benjamin Netanyahu from any fallout from his corruption trials. The amended definition for the "incapacity" of national leaders is among legislative measures by the religious-nationalist coalition that have tipped Israel into crisis, with the opposition arguing that judicial independence is in peril. The coalition says the overhaul is aimed at pushing back against what it calls Supreme Court over-reach and restoring balance among branches of government.

REAL AMERICA -- Dan Ball W/ Roger Stone, People Are Losing Trust In Ron DeSantis, 3/23/23

Is the House of Mouse in a full-on war with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis? If not, the organization is at the very least jabbing a finger in the governor’s eye. The Walt Disney Company will host a major summit to promote LGBTQ rights in the workplace. It will be held in Central Florida in September. Executives and professionals from the world’s largest companies will gather “in a defiant display of the limits of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign against diversity training.”The relationship between Disney and DeSantis has been tense for more than a year. Disney went super-woke and that included...

Federal spending jumped from $4.45 trillion in 2019 to $6.21 trillion in 2023, according to the Congressional Budget Office. That is a 40 percent increase in four years. The pandemic supercharged the federal budget, and spending and deficits are expected to continue rising unless policymakers pursue major reforms.What is all the new spending since 2019? The answer is surprising, as shown in the two tables below. The main drivers of the recent increases have not been the largest three programs—Social Security, Medicare, and defense—but rather rapid growth in numerous other programs.Table 1 shows CBO spending for 2019 and baseline estimates...

Seven law enforcement officials, who conducted an armed raid of the rapper Afroman’s home in August 2022, are now suing him for invasion of privacy. Afroman used footage from the raid in his music videos and allegedly included it in merchandise and social media posts. The members of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the rapper – real name Joseph Foreman – claiming the footage, which shows their faces, has caused “emotional distress, embarrassment, ridicule, loss of reputation and humiliation”. According to court documents seen by The Independent, Afroman himself was not present during...

As you probably remember, Harvard was sued a few years ago on the grounds that its admissions criteria were unfair to Asian applicants. The trial was held before Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee who eventually decided in Harvard’s favor. Here’s a bit of her decision.For purposes of this case, at least for now, ensuring diversity at Harvard relies, in part, on race conscious admissions. Harvard’s admission program passes constitutional muster in that it satisfies the dictates of strict scrutiny. The students who are admitted to Harvard and choose to attend will live and learn surrounded by all sorts of...
