    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    Have you ever seen a jury selection process? As a juror, I've been through this twice. Jurors are deeply questioned by attorneys for both sides. Trump's attorney's have every opportunity to ask about the jurors' political beliefs and biases, and to test a prospective juror's ability to be...

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    That's news to me. Who made the offer?

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    True. For now. And his company has been convicted of the crime of tax fraud. Trump has done poorly with appeals in recent months. He can appeal but if past is prologue, he'll lose. I own a company. If my company was convicted of a crime, it would be extremely relevant, and it would reflect...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    That has become a predictable response from you, but it does not change the result, does it? There are indeed crimes Trump has committed, for which he has been charged, found guilty, found liable, or is defending himself against in court.

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    That statement is laughable. There is no way FOX will tolerate a broken contract. Carlson may break it but if he does, FOX will immediately seek injunctive relief and high monetary damages. My guess is that very possibility is what is keeping Carlson quiet and off the air now. His audience...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    While it has taken far too long, the work of investigators, grand juries, prosecutors and litigants is beginning to bear fruit. 1. The Manhattan grand jury issued a criminal indictment for filing false documents. Trump surrendered for arrest and was charged. That case is now working its way...

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    FOX would say the issues are already cleared up. The contract is valid and remains in full force and effect. At present, Carlson seems to agree as he is abiding by the contract. People can make up theories about what he is doing behind the scenes. What he is not doing in public better indicates...

    The Trump Card...

    We may find out in yet another way. Trump has been savaging Carroll online and in interviews. He did it tonight in the CNN Town Hall meeting, calling her a "whack job." That's defamation and she may well take him to court again.

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    It came to mind today, does Carlson even need a contract with Musk to run a show on Twitter? Thousands of people already do that without a contract, do they not? If I wanted to do a show on Twitter, all I have to do is do the show. No contract. No nothing. Why would it be different for Carlson?

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    This May be Why Biden is Standing Firm I have not thought much about the debt-ceiling strategies being pursued by Biden and McCarthy. I'm thinking they'll do what most Congresses and Administrations have done in recent years. They'll take things to the brink and once again kick the can to solve...

    Too bad that Donald Trump's transgressions haven't been processed with the same efficiency as those of Santos.

    The Trump Card...

    That's right. And Trump was not found liable for rape, which proves the system works. The jury did find evidence sufficient to find him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Which also shows the system worked.

    More Trouble for Santos, This Time in Brazil Even as Representative George Santos surrendered in federal court on Long Island on Wednesday, another criminal case immediately loomed: Brazilian law enforcement authorities will conduct a hearing on Thursday on an allegation of check fraud. The...

    What's Going on in the US House of Representatives?

    How Original! "Santos added that he was facing what he called a 'witch hunt.'" (Source) A "witch hunt?" Really? How original! Those who are fond of crying witch hunt would do well to consider how effective that actually is (it isn't). No court has accepted that arguement in any court it has...

    Demographics

    I once had a summer job working for a railroad, pounding spikes, repairing track, etc. On our crew was a man from Mexico who spoke little English, but, oh, how he could work. The man worked harder than all of us and that was his second full-time job after the factory job he also held. People who...

    Demographics

    While I'm not as outspoken on this issue as I am on some others, the state of our southern border troubles me. A border should mean something and it is befuddling to me how so many thousands can be allowed to enter the US without authorization. I'm not big on a wall but a road would be nice; one...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump is likely to appeal whether he has legitimate reasons or not. The quote you cite above is a reach as grounds for appeal. What gets appealed is the court case, not post-trial interviews. And the quote is such that anyone can read anything they want into those words, depending on the theory...
