DeSantis Suffers Another Disney Blow This time the blow came from U.S. House Speaker McCarthy. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3977788-mccarthy-hits-desantis-on-disney-prison-quip-sit-down-and-negotiate/

Republicans in South Carolina and Nebraska are Wising Up These Republican legislators may have figured out that the single-best way to mobilize millions of voters against them is to saddle them with abortion restrictions they do not want...

They are wrong.

Will Tucker Carlson Run for President? I'm seeing the occasional comment on the news that Tucker Carlson my run for president. I don't see him doing that. His association with extremist views would alienate him from the general electorate, and he's smart enough to know that. At least I think...

Yep. In that regard, Trump hardly qualifies as a stable genius. He took things he is not supposed to have and kept the fruits of the crime in his home, just waiting for the FBI to come find them.

More Evidence the Big Lie is a Lie "Former president Trump’s campaign quietly commissioned a second firm to study election fraud claims in the weeks after the 2020 election, and the founder of the firm was recently questioned by the Justice Department about his work disproving the claims. "Ken...

Pence Testifies Before the Jan 6 Grand Jury Trump's efforts to keep Pence from testifying before the Jan 6 grand jury failed. Pence was there testifying for 5 hours today. Special Prosecutor Jack Smith seems to be running out of witnesses. His team has interviewed everyone from the Mar-a-Lago...

I was one of those viewers out of curiosity. But it is highly unlikely that I'll be one of his regular audience members if he goes on air again. Thank goodness for Twitter, right? There is no other platform that can give Carlson that kind of reach.

There are penalties. That's what the libel and slander laws are for. They protect people from false, reputation-damaging statements and provide recourse for the victims. The penalties are usually civil, not criminal, but they exist.

You may be right. We'll find out together in coming weeks and months how this plays out. Question. Let's say your are right and FOX permanently loses 50% of its viewers or more over the next six months. If that happens, FOX will be significantly weakened. Assuming FOX is significantly...

Yea, you said that before. Repeating it makes it no more or less valid than when you said it the first time. And, as a practical matter, does it matter? However you choose to characterize this case, Trump is on trial regarding a lawsuit in which the plaintiff says he raped her. As you point out...

More evidence that Trump cares deeply about this. He is talking about the case on social media and incurring the ire of the judge by doing so. If Trump is not careful, he could tweet himself into a contempt hearing, large fine and maybe even jail. The judge has warned him twice. "The federal...

Interesting data. While two nights do not a trend make, it will be interesting to see if this significant decline in ratings remains in a week, month and six months. If it does, in what ways, if any, will the Republican Party be affected?

He can try. How's it been working so far?

Another Privilege-Claim Defeat for Trump https://apnews.com/article/pence-trump-justice-department-jan-6-12cbe2317b83dad18a5ced6f26761c78

Donald Trump cares. He sent attorneys to represent him i this trial. He provided depositions before the trial. He has commented a lot about the plaintiff. Yep. Trump cares about this. He is paying close attention and actively participating.

Yes he did. And it came easier than I thought it might. I was expecting another circus similar to 15-round circus required to elect a speaker. This is a relief in that the Republicans have finally put on paper the cuts they want to make. Now we'll know whose oxen are targeted to be gored and...

I agree. That time slot is in itself a valuable asset, regardless of who fills it. Naturally, a particular host can have an effect, but recent numbers show there is far more to the ratings of that time slot than Carlson himself. If it was all about Carlson, the numbers would have fallen off a...

Why is Trump Running Anti-DeSantis TV Ads? I've seen the ads on Florida TV a few times now. They are political attack ads against DeSantis run by Trump or super-PACS supporting Trump. DeSantis is not yet a declared presidential candidate and his current placement in the polls puts him far...

McCarthy may want a balanced budget but he can't even get his fellow House Republicans to agree on a bill that would provide it. Without that, McCarthy is armed with only wishful thinking and empty rhetoric.
