It’s looking like SCOTUS is going to find in favor of Trump on the immunity case. If this happens and if this results in some or all of the cases being dropped, this increases his chances of winning significantly.
On a related note, Trump is on the hook for a massive amount of money for an alleged rape for which there is literally no evidence. Meanwhile NY (same jurisdiction) just gave Weinstein a pass on multiple rapes.

So, let me get this straight. The pro-Hamas protesters convince everyone that Gazans are starving (reports from non Hamas sources on the ground say the if there is starvation it's because Hamas is hoarding the food supplies and overcharging for food) so Biden decides to support Hamas by building them a seaport (FYI Hamas has tens of billions of dollars and easily could have done this themselves years ago). Now we see reports of "terrorists" attacking the seaport before it is even finished. Who would have thought this could go badly.
Most of these are links to videos in X posts, it's easier for me to simply provide that link.

Biden literally reads the stage direction, "pause", instead of pausing. The official White House transcript of the event changes "pause" to "Inaudible". Because why not just be blatant about covering up Biden's incompetence. FYI, does Biden really need the prompter to tell him to "pause" after a big line in his speech?

" NEW: New York union leader Bobby Bartels says most of his Union workers are Democrats but they are supporting Trump in 2024. Bartels said he conducted a poll of his 9,000 members and Trump is leading Biden 3 to 1. “In the past, we are basically Democrats, all of us. And after what’s happened the last 4 years in this country, Democrats are basically pushing everybody to the other side.” “We are tired of immigration, we are tired of our tax dollars going to immigration, we are tired of the crime, we need to put a handle back on things in this country.” During a separate interview with Fox News, Bartels said: “I put out a poll in my union. President Trump is leading Joe Biden 3 to 1 in my presidential poll out of my 9,000 members.”"
A long time ago, I wrote about the problem the DFL has when they kowtow to constituencies that are diametrically opposed to each other (Greens/Unions). This looks like the DFL losing it's grasp on labor, possibly for good.

For anyone who continues with the "Trump's lying is disqualifying", just stop it. Or hold Biden to the same standard.

A compilation of democrats doing what they constantly accuse conservatives of doing. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

When someone as liberal as Maher is agreeing with the "evil" DeSantis and ripping NPR, you kind of have to admit that things are pretty bad. I can't recall if he mentions the child rape accusations coming out of Nickelodeon, but given the slant of the entertainment industry, it's safe to conclude that the rapists were DFL voters as were those who covered it up and enabled it.

I know that the notion that racial animus is entirely a creation of white people, but maybe that's an exaggeration.
"Exclusive: Home Office tells staff racial identity is a Portuguese invention from 16th century & claims "up to one third of people living in Britain were migrants" 2,000 years ago.
: "The suggestion that racial prejudice was invented by Europeans is nonsense" Home Office diversity training on "Britain's migration and colonial history” features a video called “The beginnings of Racist Ideology” which claims: “The modern idea of racial identity seems to have started in Portugal in the sixteenth century”. : “Anti-black racism in the Arab world has existed for well over 1,000 years, in large part due to the Islamic slave trade, which saw millions of Africans enslaved and brought to the Muslim world. Whilst the Koran is silent on race, in practice, sub-Saharan Africans were regarded as the lowest and most detestable slave strata.” The Home Office claimed the British Empire “was able to maintain colonial and imperial domination for many centuries over other countries”, describing “The first and most obvious reason for this was its military might over the colonies”. The lecture continued: “Second, the British Empire dominated its colonised people. Slavery is one of the most brutal examples of this.”https://www.tiktok.com/@1lifetimes/video/7243471449149771034
Korean idiot claims that Korea "didn't have slaves", then gets slapped upside the head with reality. It's hilarious to watch the "evil white slave owners" people ignore slavery when it doesn't fit the narrative.
Biden proposes a 45% capital gains tax with a 25% unrealized capital gains tax. This would literally tax imaginary money.
If you invested $100, made $100 on the investment in 2024, you’d owe $25, yet if you lost $125 in 2025, you wouldn’t get that tax back. Absolutely insane.
"Let ME Tell You What YOU Think..."
On the rare occasions when I visit the cesspool, I find Dan and his pet troll often telling each other what other people (me, Stan, Art, Glenn, etc) "really" think, mean, or believe.
It seems strange to me that in a post dedicated to bitching about others telling Dan what Dan thinks, that we find Dan and his pet troll doing exactly what Dan is bitching about.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure why that surprises me at all.
I'll start this by being really honest, I'm not a huge consumer of women's sports. I don't have anything against them, but just haven't found much compelling beyond this year's NCAA's and a few Olympic athletes. Part of this is that I like my sports to have more to engage me than just the game. Like the fact that a certain highly decorated downhill skier's mom worked with my wife made me more interested in her career, beyond the fact that she was a great skier.
This year, however, it was impossible to miss the Caitlin Clark show in basketball. It had everything, great athletes, great teams, great rivalries, and great coverage. It was compelling. Personally, I'm a Paige Beuckers fan(watched her in HS) but Clark, Reese, and the rest were fun to watch. All of a sudden everyone was a women's sports fan. The WNBA draft get big TV ratings. It's possible that the last 12 months have been the best stretch women's sports has ever had. Hell, the Woman's final get higher ratings than the men's (could have been because the men's started god awful late on TBS instead of 7:00 PM eastern on CBS) but still it's a great story.
It could, and is, argued that the single thing that led us to this triumph of women's sports was Title 9. The law that made women's sports on an equal footing with men's. Title 9 was very probably a good thing on balance, and I'm not really interested in nitpicking the nuances of it.
But, as we watched women's sports reach their pinnacle, Biden decided to piss on the party. Joe's DOE decided to rewrite Title 9 to give some men equal status with all women. Biden opened up the door for the downfall of women's sports. Just for example, basketball is a game where height is rewarded. 7' tall men are pretty uncommon, and the one's with even a modicum of athletic ability can have some success as basketball players. So, we know that the tallest D1 women's basketball player last year was 6'7" with a few 6'6" and 6'5" women right behind. 15 women were taller than 6'3" last year on NCAA D1 teams. What's to stop an enterprising D1 women's coach from trawling the ranks of D2 and D3 or even NAIA to find a couple of guys who are between 6'9" and 7', and convincing them to "transition" to women? What's to stop this team from running roughshod over the rest of D1 next year? We know that the best women atheletes have trouble competing with men who are much younger or much lower ranked (USWNT, Williams sisters) than they are. So it's not much of a stretch to think the NAIA, D2 and D3 men couldn't compete with D1 women. I know, no coach in any sport would ever stretch the rules to win a championship, would they? No women's coach would intentionally put the other team's players at increased risk of serious physical harm, would they? No D3 college basketball player would ever think about how cool it would be to win a natty, and all that was necessary is to pretend to be a woman for a year or two, would they?
But, none of that really matters much compared to Biden's huge mistake. If this was such a big, important bit of executive action, why did he wait? Why not do it sooner? Why wait until the election campaign is in full swing? Why not wait until after he's a lame duck? Either post election (if he loses) or after he's sworn in in 2025? Why risk pissing off a potentially significant number of his most reliable supporters to enact something that affects a minute number of people? Is this in response to the "trans" narrative going down in flames in Europe? Is this a bone thrown to the "trans" vote because the writing is on the wall as far as following the science? Or is this just Biden being an old, guy with cognitive issues. In any case, it's possible that this could affect the vote in November as all the women who just found out that the WNBA is the best thing ever (other than Taylor swift-and she's a Chiefs fan) realize that it's possible that nest years NCAA tournament could get won by a team with a couple of tall men on it. Or that deserving women who've worked their asses off are going to miss out on scholarships or NIL because a dude took their spot. Or watch Beuckers get injured early in her senior season as a 6'10", 275lb dude commits a charge and sends her to the ER.
Because it's now "trans" women's sports.

If you can watch this video and not come away with a sense that schools are protecting "trans" kids at the expense of other students, and that this girl was thrown to the wolves by her teacher and counselor, I can't imagine how heartless you must be.

I appreciate Reilly on many issues. One because he's not "right wing" by any stretch, Two, because he's a black college professor (out of step with those who dominate his race and career) Three because he's coming from a background of stats and data.
He makes some good points here, especially as relates to screwing with testosterone in people, and the presence of mental health issues in the "trans" population.
It seems like the data is not supporting the "trans" Narrative, and that we're seeing the "trans" enabling community getting desperate to save their Narrative.
