    Kevin McCarthy ousted as Speaker of the House

    Apparently not. McCarthy says he won't run for speaker again. That's the problem they find themselves in. McCarthy gave enough concessions to the hard right of the party in his first election that the rumor was he risked losing votes from the more moderate wing if he went any further. And...

    Do American voters need more 2024 choices?

    You're not going to get it. It's baked into the system. Democrats aren't going to try and pose a serious challenge a sitting president as that just hurts their chances of winning. And the primary system makes it ripe for a person like Trump or Desantis to win the primary. More reasonable...

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tops Biden And Trump In New Favorability Poll

    Yes, people who are pretty familiar with him know he's a conspiracy theory kook. But I'm willing to bet not many people know who he is much beyond that he's a Kennedy.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Tops Biden And Trump In New Favorability Poll

    I highly suspect that any favorability of RFK Jr is due primarily because of his name.

    Former President Donald Trump has been indicted for a second time

    Trump on tape: Hey check out this criming I'm doing. Isn't funny how I'm doing all the crime. I'm literally violating a very serious law right now. You all see me ciming? Now you all be sure to hide all the evidence of me doing the crimes that I am doing right now if the DoJ asks for it...

    Former President Donald Trump has been indicted for a second time

    Only for entering the plea. We don't know yet which judge will handle the case. If it's Canon, expect the DOJ to ask for a change.

    Millions in US under air quality alerts as Canada wildfires rage

    I'm just outside Philadelphia, I was outside for about 5 minutes this morning getting my kids off the bus. My eyes were watering and my throat was stinging by the time I got back inside. It got significantly worse as the day went on. At that time the AQI was around 180. At 10PM, it was over...

    Fox admits lying and settles for $787 million.

    No, they still had to get a ruling on actual malice. Though it was pretty clearly gonna go in their favor there

    Fox admits lying and settles for $787 million.

    In this particular case it wasn't that hard to prove. The trial was, by that time, over whether or not there was actual malice. From what I've seen from lawyers, Dominion was almost certainly going to win that. So that leaves damages, which is where Dominion has a problem. They almost...

    Kansas City: Black Teen Shot for Knocking on Wrong Door

    Even with crime increasing in some areas, it's still waaaaay lower than in the early 90s. There's also, as mentioned, an issue of crime increasing in certain areas vs others. The major city near me has seen an uptick in murders, and yeah that's a problem. People use the uptick and apply it...

    Kansas City: Black Teen Shot for Knocking on Wrong Door

    Same thing applies. It's still an affirmative defense.

    Kansas City: Black Teen Shot for Knocking on Wrong Door

    Meeeehhhhh.... sorta.... Self defense is an affirmative defense. He can't really just say "he tried to open my door!" and leave it to the prosecution to prove that he didn't. He's gotta show that the kid person he shot actually tried to open the door. Even if he COULD show proof the kid...

    Dominion Sues Fox News for $1.6 billion - Still Considering Suits against Fox personalities

    That's revenue. This settlement is a good chunk of their 2022 EBITA. Plus, Smartmatic is also suing Fox and is asking for more than Dominion was seeking and this settlement is only going to help Smartmatic.

    Apparently a settlement for $780 million. I hope the settlement also includes Fox making a public admission.
