The poor girl libeled by The Blaze would have a damn good lawsuit, if the remnants of that idiotic outfit have any money that could actually be collected. Strikes me as an Alex Jones situation. You'd have to come up with a theory to get to Glenn Beck personally. Or maybe NC Bills Fan can be sued in his personal capacity. I'd be glad to pitch in my ten bucks to finance it.

Let's see today's PPP favorite news items: Florida takes on chemtrails!

Notice the oh-so-subtle shift away from "The Blaze solved the crime!" Oh, and there's a damn good argument that Trump "inadvertently" (was it inadvertent?) pardoned the suspect. "Mr. Trump, in one of his first official acts after returning to the White House this year, issued a grant of clemency to the nearly 1,600 rioters charged in connection with the Capitol attack. His clemency proclamation was extraordinarily broad, covering all defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It is possible that defense lawyers will ultimately try to argue that the placing of the pipe bombs should also be covered by Mr. Trump’s proclamation."

Education in America

You know who else thinks that? The Trump Administration, currently extorting millions from Ivy League schools that allowed their students to chant "from the river to the sea." -
Nowhere more Third Worldy and crime-ridden than southern Italy c. 1917. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/28/italian-towns-claim-ron-desantis-as-one-of-their-own-as-republican-race-heats-up Megan Smolenyak, a Florida-based professional genealogist, who traced the DeSantis family tree, suggested that the Italian ancestors of the Republican candidate were lucky not to have been barred from entering the US. Smolenyak says Luigia left with her two daughters, while pregnant with another child, to join her husband who had moved to Pennsylvania years before. Luigia Colucci made it to New York aboard the SS Patria on 21 February. “On 5 February,” Smolenyak wrote on Medium, “while they were at sea, the US passed the Immigration Act of 1917 which was intended to limit undesirable southern and eastern European immigrants such as Luigia and her family. Fortunately, it wasn’t implemented until 1 May. Otherwise, she and her daughters could have been denied entry due to the freshly imposed literacy requirement.” The passenger record for Luigia and her daughters showed that all three were illiterate.

The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

Yes, Cynical Publius, a Japanese carrier in WW2 is just like a little motorboat in the newest version of the War on Drugs. I really can't see any difference. -
Right. In baseball, my team is the Colorado Rockies. (Like being a Bills fan in the drought, but worse) They stupidly signed former Cubs MVP Kris Bryant to a long-term contract. Shortly after the signing he was diagnosed with a degenerative back condition. He's played a bit over the last 3 years and he's been awful. It's obvious to everyone that he's done. But they keep making him come to spring training and going through the pretense that he may play again. Otherwise they'd have to waive him and pay his entire contract. They clearly want him to retire and come off the books, but why would he do that with $60 million still waiting. I don't know the particulars of Watson's contract, but I imagine there's a reason they're going through this song and dance.
