You love to see it

Fox News: "New York Times loses defamation suit, ordered to pay $9.25M to former Alabama basketball player - Jury finds Times defamed Kai Spears in a 2023 report that wrongly linked him to a fatal shooting."

I've said it before but, unfortunately, this is the only way the mainstream media learns.

They just want the money

Washington Post editorial: "Mark Cuban bests Ro Khanna on wealth taxes - The congressman has a peculiar solution for taxing start-up founders."
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) supports his state’s billionaire tax proposal on the ballot in November. Texas businessman Mark Cuban had a question: What about founders of promising start-ups who are billionaires only on paper?

Khanna’s solution was revealing. Hint: It would create another tool for government control.
You would think that when faced with such a glaring flaw to your cash-grab scheme, you would at least pause to consider whether it's a good or workable idea in the first place.  But the Democrats want - they need - that sweet billionaire money so they need to dream up a new angle.  So the big brain idea is to allow paper billionaires to borrow against the government putting their future stock windfall up as collateral.  Sheer insanity.
Today’s advocates of wealth taxation have offered a series of bad explanations for how the foreseeable problems would be addressed. Khanna’s is only the latest. If your tax requires the government to start giving out special loans to pay itself, maybe it’s not a good tax in the first place.
Right now early polling is showing the billionaire tax would pass which doesn't surprise me because people love it when taxes are paid by "other people."  Especially those Richie Riches.

Big shift

PJ Media: "The Registration Bloodletting the DNC Doesn't Want You Reading About."

Stories like these make me wonder if it's really true that the Democrat Party was propped up on USAID money and illegal foreign donations through ActBlue.

WNBA in a box canyon

Bravo Blue: "Rules for Radicals? Whither the WNBA? - Sophie's choice -- Honesty and candor over cowardice"
The WNBA has graced us with the latest manifestation of far-left lunacy and penchant for self-destruction. For any who may not yet be in the know, in one fell swoop two former NBA players have shined a 1,000,000+ lumens spotlight on the conundrum that exposes the hypocrisy of the deranged leftists who pollute the WNBA. They accomplished this by following the left’s bible, Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals. Rule 4 provides: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
The WNBA bigwigs recently had a meeting to answer the question "what is a woman?" and came out with an equivocal press statement saying they were still searching for an answer.  This was a dilatory tactic and they are currently hoping the whole issues just goes away.

Spoiler alert: it's not going away.  The reason why is that too many people are invested in the drama of the pretzel logic.  There's no way out: either you allow biological men into the WNBA or you don't.  Watching them squirm over that simple proposition is just too much fun.

I beg to differ

Washington Post: "The Jason Arday scandal isn’t as simple as DEI gone wrong - This isn’t the first time a university has dug in to protect an obviously flawed professor."

The author of this article starts with the premise that, since other universities protect their faculty, it's not really DEI at work in the Arday scandal.  Yeah, you go with that.  When universities put out glowing press releases about how they've hired the first Native American professor, you know DEI is at work.

Right, Liz Warren?

What a dumb stunt

Ace: ""Republicans for Talarico" Turns Out To Be, Get This, A Bunch of Lifelong Democrat Donors ("And Other Losers," Says the RNC)."

Surely they could have guessed that these women would be identified as Democrat stooges.  The whole video reeked of fake.


Deception is the plan

Hot Air: "Hasan Piker Says It Out Loud: DSA Practicing Taqiyya." 
This is the communist equivalent of Taqiyya, the Shia Muslim practice of lying to non-Muslims in order to gain dominance. 

Taqiyya is not an invention of "Islamophobes." It is a literal doctrine practiced by many Islamists. It is how the 9/11 hijackers hid in plain sight and how terrorist cells try to blend in. You can shave your beards, drink alcohol, go to strip clubs, and become a dissolute Westerner as long as you are willing to kill for Allah.
I confess I'd never heard of Taqiyya until now.
