Unfortunately for your "nonsense" screed, they went with the rule of law. Meanwhile: And here is the Purdue Pharma opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-124_8nk0.pdf The court rules in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma L.P. that the bankruptcy code does not authorize a multi-billion-dollar bankruptcy plan for Purdue Pharma, the maker of the highly addictive opioid painkiller OxyContin, that would release members of the Sackler family, which owned the company but did not declare bankruptcy, from any future liability for claims against them. https://www.scotusblog.com/

It looks like spinning overstated bullsh*t is back also. Here's the link: Ohio v. EPA, https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23a349_0813.pdf This was a case about whether the Supreme Court should temporarily block a rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce air pollution from power plants and other industrial facilities while litigation continues. The case arises from the EPA’s interpretation of a law known as the “good neighbor” provision of the Clean Air Act, which requires “upwind” states to reduce emissions that affect the air quality in “downwind” states. The court grants the states' application to put the rule on hold while the case proceeds in the lower courts. OH NO, unlimited pollution !!!!! Oh wait ! .

Global warming err Climate change HOAX
B-Man replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
ARE WE DEAD YET? I WAS RELIABLY ASSURED WE’D PASS THE POINT OF NO RETURN SOMETIME LAST YEAR: Global boiling? Phew, what a con-trick. NEVER mind ‘gaslighting’, which entered the lexicon via the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play Gas Light in which a man tries to convince his wife she is going insane by causing the lights to dim, all the while denying that it is getting darker. No, we are being ‘sunlighted’ – by our government. Through its obedient quango the Met Office it feeds deliberately biased information to those equally obedient mouthpieces, the weather reporters of the mainstream media. While few of us in the UK had yet mothballed our winter coats or turned off the central heating for the rest of the year, the Met Office assured us that we had just experienced the hottest May on record in the UK since 2008. This did not reflect the reality to which those of us with eyes to see can attest. We are being manipulated. People from the four corners of the country reported dull skies and rain accompanied by cold weather for the whole of May. But this is counter to the ‘climate catastrophe’ narrative, so the Met Office simply denied people’s experience and continued to pump out the message about global warming accompanied by weather charts which ranged from light pink to deep red, emphasizing the extent to which the UK was on the boil. https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/global-boiling-phew-what-a-con-trick/ -

Mayorkas Says There's No Evidence People ISIS-Affiliated Group Smuggled Into the US Intend Any Harm On his first day in office, President Biden undid dozens of Trump executive orders that were helping keep the border secure, and subsequently millions of people flowed into the U.S. illegally and with this administration's blessing. At first, they tried lying about the border being secure: That's the "how it started" part. Now here's the "how it's going" update: Meanwhile, the government official who helped allow this to happen is trying to assure everybody there's nothing to worry about: https://twitchy.com/dougp/2024/06/26/mayorkas-says-theres-no-evidence-people-isis-affiliated-group-smuggled-into-the-us-intend-any-harm-n2397679

Oh, that "Right Wing" court LOL Here's the first opinion: It is Murthy v. Missouri, by Justice Barrett. The vote is 6-3, with Alito dissenting joined by Thomas and Gorsuch. This is the case about social media "jawboning" -- the government's communications with social media companies during the 2020 election season and COVID-19 pandemic. The court holds that the challengers -- two states and five social-media users -- do not have standing -- that is, a legal right to sue. This is another decision reversing the Fifth Circuit, which held that the communications by governmental officials with social media platforms made the government officials responsible for the platforms' content-moderation decisions. "The Fifth Circuit," Barrett writes, "was wrong to do so." https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-411_3dq3.pdf

My favorite "politician's math" is when they refer to a proposal of lowering an increase in spending as a "CUT" Even when the budget is the same or even slightly higher, it is then described as being "Slashed" Ridiculous. .

Canada’s Conservatives Win Shock Election Victory in Grim Omen for Trudeau by John Hayward Canadian Conservative candidate Don Stewart won a close election on Monday in Toronto-St.Paul’s, taking a seat that has been held by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party for the past 30 years. “Before Monday’s vote, a Conservative candidate hadn’t been competitive in Toronto–St. Paul’s since the 1980s. The party hadn’t won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election,” CBC News marveled. CBC called the race a “nail-biter to the very end,” with Stewart’s Liberal opponent Leslie Church in the lead for about six out of seven hours of vote-counting. Stewart only took the lead when the final batch of votes was counted, vaulting to 42.1 percent https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/byelection-polls-liberal-conservative-ballot-vote-1.7243748 https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/06/25/canadas-conservatives-win-shock-election-victory-grim-omen-trudeau/ .

Uh-huh. CNN Could Be Forced to Pay Upwards of $1 Billion from Defamation Suit from Tapper Show The case may not be as well known (yet), but CNN could be facing a defamation liability rivaling or exceeding the $787 million Fox News paid out to Dominion Voting Systems. NewsBusters recently reported on Florida’s First District Court of Appeals affirming that plaintiff Zachary Young could seek punitive damages, in addition to economic and emotional damages, from the Cable News Network in a civil trial after they allegedly defamed him regarding his work in getting people out of Afghanistan. The total could near or exceed $1 billion. For that outcome to be remotely in the cards, Young needed to prove malice and according to the ruling, he’s done exactly that. “Young sufficiently proffered evidence of actual malice, express malice, and a level of conduct outrageous enough to open the door for him to seek punitive damages,” Judge L. Clayton Roberts wrote in the court’s ruling. The court felt the high bars for actual and expressed malice were met because of internal CNN messages that were extremely vicious toward Young. Correspondent Alex Marquardt, the “primary reporter” expressed in a message to a colleague that he wanted to “nail this Zachary Young m&#%$er” and thought the story would be Young’s “funeral.” On that declaration of wanting to “nail” Young, CNN editor Matthew Philips responded: “gonna hold you to that cowboy!” </snip> The case hinged on CNN’s use of the phrases “black market” and “exploited” to describe Young’s legitimate business helping corporately sponsored Afghans escape the country as it collapsed around them and the Taliban retook control. Young’s clients included Audible and Bloomberg News - one of CNN’s industry peers, and he saved 24 people. Freedman said CNN essentially “branded [Young] a human trafficker” and a “war profiteer” and broadcasted it to millions of households. Jake Tapper, the host whose show the allegedly defamatory story ran on (The Lead), also made a point to note that people seeking escape were given “no guarantee of safety or success.” Yet, at no point could CNN prove that what Young was doing was a scam. In fact, their editors admitted in messages that couldn’t find evidence of it. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2024/06/24/cnn-could-be-forced-pay-upwards-1-billion-defamation-suit https://1dca.flcourts.gov/content/download/2435811/opinion/Opinion_2023-2237.pdf .

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Maricopa County Election Worker Nabbed for Stealing Security Fob and Keys Maricopa County, Arizona, often seems to be at the center of voting integrity issues. Allegations of meddling and even fraud have swirled since 2020 after Trump's loss to Biden in the presidential election and then again after former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s 2022 defeat by Democrat Katie Hobbs. Lake contested the outcome but was not successful in her attempts to convince the courts to overturn it. Now CNN is reporting that an election worker has been caught on tape stealing security keys: https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/06/25/caught-on-camera-maricopa-county-election-official-nabbed-for-stealing-security-fob-and-keys-n2175957 .

Reliable. Media Is Prepped to Give Joe Biden His Participation Trophy for Walking Unassisted Into Debate Amazingly, we are just a little over 48 hours away from the first presidential debate of the 2024 cycle. I don't want to oversell it because every face-off between candidates running for president is usually a big deal. Yet I dare to say this might be the most anticipated presidential debate since incumbent Ronald Reagan faced off against former Vice President Walter Mondale in 1984 The media, in preparation for this event, is doing its usual knee-jerk reaction of protecting the person who most aligns with their feelings over facts worldview. Even though they know Joe Biden is a damaged product and should NOT be up there as the presumptive Democrat nominee. https://redstate.com/tladuke/2024/06/25/media-is-prepped-to-give-joe-biden-his-participation-trophy-for-walking-unassisted-into-cnn-debate-n2175956 .

LOL: THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACON REFUSES TO PUBLISH HILLARY CLINTON’S NEW BOOK COVER: The Reason Is Obvious. Warning: The following post contains harmful misinformation that is likely part of a foreign influence operation to interfere in American politics. Some readers may find it disturbing, while other readers may be too dumb to avoid getting brainwashed. Please proceed with caution. Hillary Clinton has written a new book. Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty is due out in mid-September, roughly eight years after the author suffered a health episode and nearly collapsed on the campaign trail in Manhattan. We regret to inform you that, per the results of a Washington Free Beacon analysis, the promotional materials for Hillary’s forthcoming book are dangerously misleading at best. The author’s photo on the cover image, for example, has been deceptively edited beyond all recognition. Our analysts were unable to verify the identity of the individual who appears in the image. Given the appropriate caution that media outlets have taken with respect to suspicious material—including the Associated Press’s decision in March to retract a “manipulated” photo of Kate Middleton—the Free Beacon is refusing to publish the photo without including the following crucial context to enhance our readers’ ability to discern fact from fiction. https://freebeacon.com/author/stiles/culture/hillary-book-cover/ Hillary morphed into Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine so slowly, I hardly even noticed:

Hunter Biden Found Guilty - Convicted Felon
B-Man replied to phypon's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The corrupt Hunter Biden has just lost his law license in Washington DC, according to the DC Court of Appeals. The law license was revoked after Hunter was found guilty of three felony counts, meaning he is immediately prohibited from practicing law in DC. This is more or less automatic with felony convictions. His legal team can appeal, but they're almost certainly more interested in appealing the conviction and preparing for the tax-evasion trial that's coming up in California. Hunter has been working more as a lobbyist anyway than an attorney. https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/06/25/hunter-biden-loses-law-license-in-dc-n3790904 -
CNN Is STILL Too Afraid to Update Its Election Projection Map. Back in January, CNN launched its election projection map called "Road to 270," which features an interactive map based on "public and private polling, conversations with campaign advisers, Republican and Democratic political operatives, members of Congress, and political professionals involved with outside groups poised to be active in the race." Its inaugural projection had Trump winning the Electoral College and thus the presidency, 272 to Biden's 225, with three states remaining as toss-ups: Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. At the time the map was launched, CNN promised that "Future versions of this outlook will similarly reflect the realities of the race, as best we can assess them at the time." Yet, nearly six months later, CNN hasn't updated their map yet. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/06/25/cnn-is-still-too-afraid-to-update-its-election-projection-map-n4930129

Two Young Voters Give Perfect Illustration Why They Left the Democrat Party By Levon Satamian Just when the Biden campaign thought they could buy young people's votes by canceling massive amounts of student debt, the opposite effect seems to be taking place. Two young voters, Grace Guentzel and Becky Oliveira, told Fox News host Lawrence Jones that they will not vote for President Joe Biden in November. Some of the reasons they gave were the open borders and cashless bail. Oliveira lives in New York City and gave an interesting perspective on why she became a Democrat in the first place To be fair, that's what the Democrats bank on when trying to appease young voters. Young people think emotionally rather than logically, especially when attending a university, but as they pay more attention and get out of their bubble, they realize that what the Democrats are selling -- free college tuition, the Green New Deal, and Medicare for All -- is only a fantasy. They preach about things that sound good, particularly to college students, talking points that make it seem like Democrats care about the people when in reality, the policies are nearly impossible to enact. https://redstate.com/levon/2024/06/25/two-young-voters-give-perfect-illustration-as-to-why-they-joined-and-now-left-the-democrat-party-n2175953

Has CNN Learned Anything About Debate Moderation Since 2012? It’s been twelve years since the infamous moment when CNN’s Candy Crowley interjected herself into the presidential debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, providing a live “fact check” which was, in reality, her factually inaccurate opinion. The moment was embarrassing enough that debate commission co-chair Frank Fahrenkopf would later describe their selection of Crowley as a moderator as a “mistake“; she was widely criticized for both inserting herself too much into the debate and letting it get out of hand. Well, if you thought an Obama-Romney debate could go off the rails, just wait for this week’s Joe Biden Donald Trump rematch — moderated this time around by another pair of CNN anchors, including the woman who replaced Crowley as chief political correspondent, Dana Bash. Bash and co-moderator Jake Tapper will already be equipped with advantages other moderators haven’t had, including shutting off the microphones of the president and former president in between questions. https://thespectator.com/politics/cnn-learned-anything-debate-moderating-candy-crowley/ I'd guess no, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. Speaking of which, I'm surprised that this is still on the schedule. I genuinely expected Biden to use the conviction in Manhattan to pull out under the argument that a president shouldn't have to share a stage with a "convicted felon." Whether Hunter's conviction changed that or Team Biden is more desperate than we imagined, it seems they're willing to roll the dice. https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/06/25/has-cnn-learned-anything-about-debate-moderation-since-2012-n3790896
