Meghan Markle is trying to brand herself as a tradwife influencer or something.

Some of you may have heard whispers about what I've been creating. In two weeks, my series on @netflix launches -- but there's something else I've been working on. I'm thrilled to introduce you to As Ever -- a brand that I created and have poured my heart into. 'As ever' means 'as it's always been' or some even say 'in the same way as always'. If you've followed along since my days of creating The Tig, you'll know this couldn't be truer for me. This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish -- food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday. I will keep sharing behind the scenes tidbits with you here as we ramp up to launch, and I can't wait for you to get your hands on everything we've been creating. Sending lots of love...

Absolutely, when I think about Prince-Hunting Golddigger Meghan Markle, I always think about her "love language" of the "everyday," simple pleasures of life.

PJ Media's Sarah Anderson:

Over the last six or seven years, Meghan Markle's attempts at selling anything substantial have failed almost every time. Her fake podcasting career was short-lived. With the exception of a "documentary" designed to mock her husband's family, the one that most people seemingly only viewed to hate-watch, she has yet to make much of anything out of her huge Netflix contract. And in 2024, she launched a "lifestyle brand" with the pretentious "American Riviera Orchard" name. As best I can tell, the only thing that ever came from it was that she sent some strawberry jams to celebrities.
...
"'As Ever' essentially means 'as it always been,'" she says with a giggle, adding, "And if you followed me since 2014... you know I've always loved cooking and craft and gardening. This is what I do. And I haven't been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can... Of course, there will be fruit preserves. I think we're all clear at this point that jam is my jam. But there are so many more products that I just love that I use in my home, and it's now it's time to share it with you."
And I think that's the problem. It's still not exactly clear what kind of products Megs will sell at this point -- besides jam, apparently -- and that's because ultimately, no matter what she does, her product ends up being herself. Meghan thinks she's likable and talented enough to become some sort of big media personality based on her Meghan Markle-ness alone. She keeps throwing new ideas against the wall and hoping they stick. At the moment, she fancies herself the next Martha Stewart, but all she'll ever be to most people is the next Wallis Simpson.

I don't know what these two talentless nobodies are going to do for money. I know they have some now, but they're only in their 30s. How are they going to provide for themselves for the next 40-60 years?

A Spanish town is accusing Little Miss Love Language of stealing their town logo.

Civic bosses in the Mallorca village of Porreres reportedly claimed that Markle copied the town's traditional coat of arms by including a single palm tree with two hummingbirds hovering on either side of it on her As Ever logo.
Mayor Xisca Mora told local newspaper Ara Balears that the similarities between the coat of arms and the logo are "surreal."
She also claimed that the town hall is considering whether or not to take legal action against the duchess.
"I don't know if she visited some agritourism sites and saw the coat of arms, because the photo on her website is taken from Mallorca," said Mora.

It is the same design.

I don't know if you can copyright a town's coat of arms, though. Seems unlikely.

Speaking of rebranding: The defense industry is scrambling to hide/"rebrand" its illegal, discriminatory embrace of DEI.

A month ahead of the #NatSecGirlSquad conference in March, organizer Maggie Feldman-Piltch is facing a problem that has been unprecedented in her 10 years of putting on the event.
In the wake of President Donald Trump's Jan. 21 executive order, which directs federal contractors to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, there has been radio silence from defense companies who previously bought exhibit space, underwrote meals and otherwise sponsored the conference.
"Nobody," she said, "is returning emails."
It's just one example of how, in the wake of Trump's executive order, defense contractors are beating a hasty retreat from their previous commitments to DEI initiatives and reshaping their public-facing images to fit the administration's vision -- spelled out in felt-tip pen by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his first memo to the Pentagon, that "DoD ≠ DEI."
Major defense primes are scrubbing their websites to remove references to DEI, including pulling down content associated with minority employees or celebrations like Black History Month. Breaking Defense found that large defense companies like BAE Systems, General Dynamics, L3Harris, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and RTX have clumsily removed webpages associated with previous DEI initiatives, which still appear in search engine results but redirect to dead links.
One industry official, who Breaking Defense granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters, said that defense companies are struggling to understand exactly which activities fall under the umbrella of "illegal DEI."
A company maintaining a DEI department or employing officials hired solely to enact DEI practices would likely run afoul of the executive order, but other longstanding practices aimed at recruiting talent and fostering professional development of employees reside in a gray area, where it will be up to companies to determine how much risk to take, the official said.

A lot of this is just fake posturing to make it harder to prove lawsuits -- right now they're providing the evidence for their invidious discrimination. So they're just scrubbing their official communications so as to not admit invidious discrimination, while intending to continue doing it.

I saw an article about a Michigan school which changed the title of its DEI department to "Community Engagement" or something to pretend to comply with Trump's ban on schools receiving federal funding if they practice DEI. We're going to see a lot of simple name changes.

Why Trump is targeting the AP: It's because the AP's highly-politicized "stylebook" is the leftwing media's dictionary for Orwellian redefinitions of common words for propaganda purposes.

If they routinely redefine words to support Democrat policies, then they can do the same service for Trump, huh?

The big picture: By spotlighting AP, Trump is amplifying Republican and conservative criticisms that the AP Stylebook, a first reference for most U.S. news organizations, shapes political dialogue by favoring liberal words and phrases concerning gender, immigration, race and law enforcement.
"This isn't just about the Gulf of America," White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich told Axios. "This is about AP weaponizing language through their stylebook to push a partisan worldview in contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many Americans and many people around the world."
The dispute with AP is part of Trump's broader effort to discredit legacy media outlets and the public's trust in the press -- already at a record low.

By the way, Trump's "attack" on the AP is as minor and small-ball as it gets. The AP can still come to the White House briefing room.

The big "attack" the media is shrieking about is that... the AP will no longer have a priviliged place on Air Force One. They can still ride on Air Force One, but ont up front. They'll have to sit in the back with the plebes.

The entitlement!

State of play: After barring AP reporters from covering several events with Trump last week, the White House said Friday that because the wire service "continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America," AP slots in the Oval Office on Air Force One "will now be opened up" to other reporters.
An AP reporter and photographer were blocked Friday from boarding Air Force One for Trump's weekend trip to Florida.
The White House said AP journalists "will retain their credentials to the White House complex."

While the media has pushed the completely-false and completely-debunked claim that transgenders are targeted for violent crimes more than other groups -- in fact, they are targeted less frequently -- they simultaneously continue to suppress stories about the real-life verified trend of trans people committing murders.

Authorities arrested a trans-identified double homicide suspect on Sunday, who has been accused of allegedly killing two female victims in New York. Alan "Alina" Abad, 19, of Westwood, New Jersey, was booked into the Rockland County Jail without bail. The killings are believed to have occurred inside an apartment unit located in Spring Valley, police said.
Spring Valley Police Chief Richard Oleszczuk said that officers discovered the victims around 8:30 pm on February 15 while conducting a welfare check. One victim was found dead at the scene, while the other victim was transported to a local hospital and later died from injuries. Authorities reported that the two victims sustained severe head injuries.
Abad was arrested the following day, February 16, and was booked into jail on first-degree murder charges. The suspect is a biological male who identifies as female.
According to investigators, Abad uploaded several videos to TikTok of himself dancing outside just hours before the gruesome murders. Police said the killings are believed to be isolated incidents and that the suspect and victims knew each other. It's unclear if the video was taken outside of the apartment complex.

You might wonder why this trend of trans people committing murders could be caused by trans people already suffering from mental illness, and you might wonder if that mental illness is worsened by the injection of experimental exogenous hormones.

But there's already a scientific answer to that question: Shut up, racist. The Lancet published the finding that you're all racists and must not question The Science (TM).

New York City introduced a "congestion pricing" scheme to charge people $15 just to drive in central NYC during the day. This scheme is called, probably accurately, a plan to keep middle-class drivers off the road so that rich drivers aren't slowed in traffic.

Due to public protest, Nurse Kathy Hochul paused the plan, and then came back with a new plan -- they'd only charge the plebes $9 just to enter NYC.

That's per-visit, not per month or something.

She actually tried to sell reducing this not-yet-implemented per-trip tax from $15 to $9 as saving New Yorkers money!

So if a mugger takes your wallet but then gives you your subway pass back, he's saved you that money, you see.

This plan required the approval of the US Department of Transportation. I assume this is so because federal highways run through NYC. Biden's super-competent Secretary of Transportation -- Pete Bootyjudge -- approved the scheme.

Sean Duffy just rescinded that approval.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is throwing a FIT that President Trump just axed New York's congestion pricing, saying it will result in budgetary issues.
How about cancelling the $12 BILLION you're spending on illegals if you're worried about the budget, Kathy?
That'd be a fantastic start!

Kathy Hochul claimed she put money back in people�s pockets because NY was originally going to charge $15 for congestion pricing and instead only charged $9.

Trump just killed it.

— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) February 19, 2025

There's a funny backstory to Trump's firing of the Kennedy Center board. Joe Biden insisted on firing Sean Spicer from a service board he had been appointed to. Biden demanded that he resign by September 1, 2021, despite the fact that his term was due to expire on November 1, 2021 anyway. He was just petty and wanted Spicer out ASAP.

Although Spicer felt it wasn't worth it to even fight the firing, he and Russ Vought were persuaded to sue Biden in court. Their goal: to get a judge and an appeals court to rule that the president had unlimited, unreviewable power to fire any appointee in any agency. He wanted to prepare a precedent for Trump (or whichever Republican president came next).

A judge indignantly ruled against Spicer -- how dare he question the president's power to fire people as he pleased! And an appeals court affirmed the decision.

Spicer told Glenn Beck that when Democrats advised the fired Kennedy Center grifters to sue Trump, they told them, "We can't, there's a court ruling from just a couple of years ago giving Trump the power to fire them all. Biden v. Spicer. It's a lock-tight precedent."

STACEY ABRAMS SCAM UNCOVERED BY DOGE?!
.
@DOGE found $2 BILLION in taxpayer dollars designated for a fledgling nonprofit called "Power Forward Communities," which had close ties to Democrat Stacey Abrams.

Power Forward Communities was only a few months old with just $100 in the bank when it received the $2 billion grant in 2024.

On their website, they listed partnerships with two other nonprofits, both founded by Stacey Abrams. Abrams also serves as senior counsel for Rewiring America, an organization that leads a coalition of groups including Power Forward Communities.

An instructor and her student pilot was kinda rear-ended by another plane.

I don't know who is at fault here, but it appears it was the dunce who flew into student pilot's plane as he was doing touch-and-go lessons.

At an uncontrolled airport, it is up to the pilots to communicate to AND LOCATE each other At All Times and State Intentions.

Smithereens:

When did Smithereens become a word?
1810
Smithereens came to the English language around 1810 as “smiddereens,” from the Irish word “smidirin,” which is the diminutive form of “smiodar,” which means "fragment."
----
first appearing in English in 1829 as "smiddereens," is likely derived from the Irish word smidirín or smidiríní, meaning "fragment."

Fighting the cartels is trivial if the administration is serious. Just shut down all trade with Mexico until they control the shit they try to send over our border. China too.

Confiscate ships and life in prison for captain, crew, and owners. Same for trucks.

Sink semi-submersibles. Shoot wall climbers.

You won't even have to do any of that more than a couple times and the problem will stop. Without revenue, the cartels will either die, or be someone else's problem,

146 I think the NYC congestion charge was mostly about revenue.
(not congestion, and not keeping the poors out since there are already very few poors driving in NYC)

It was about ubers and people who had to drive in NYC paying more. It was another tax, another pot of cash to spread around to relatives.

150 Federal law requires motorists have a free road to cross from state to state. In the case of crossing the Hudson, the route is North near Albany, but it is still considered a choice. By taxing passage into lower Manhattan, regardless of direction, the state violates that law, but Biden agreed to it. It is theft by another name.

There's nothing more authentic than a product made by dumping bulk containers into vats in a warehouse by third wordlers.

I bet she's never even seen where that stuff is made. Some friend who has family in the business probably pitched it to her.

Mine wasn't that bad. I was walking the dog around the block and I got a sharp pain in my chest. I thought it was indigestion. Spent the next week chowing antacids but it didn't go away.

The following week I went to see my nurse practitioner to get something stronger and she took some blood. I drove home and as I was walking in the door she called and said I'm sending the ambulance. I told her I'd be driving and everything else for the last week so I'd just drive over. She was not receptive to that idea.

312 My grandfather once told me that the only people who live a really long time are either evil or stupid people.

When I pointed out to him that he was 86 years old he got so pissed that he threw his dentures at me.

Blues Brothers is also on that list imo.

godzilla vs megalon. our hero escapes from the baddies and makes a run for it in his vw type 3 fastback. baddies can't have that, so they pursue in a fiat 800. car chase ensues, mostly downhill for reasons unexplained.

315 > Spicer told Glenn Beck that when Democrats advised the fired Kennedy Center grifters to sue Trump, they told them, "We can't, there's a court ruling

These people really are the Wile E. Coyote of politics. It's amazing how much the slightest bit of real resistance causes their Potemkin village to collapse.

I remember years ago when they whipped out the "nuclear option" to prevent the Republicans from blocking some of Dog Eater's communist judges.

When the shoe was on the other foot, they predictably started screeching.

That's why they called it the "nuclear option", bitches. Because there's no turning back.

316 Name changes to DEI. Well that didn't work for my workplace. They did it back in December but after the EO went out, the funding agency said "oh we saw your email detailing the name change of your DEI team and that won't fly, you have to actually stop employing those folks". I don't know if a conservative at my work (was not me) forwarded the email to the agency bringing it to their attention or if the agency gets all our staff wide emails and caught it on their own.

I knew hubby was very seriously ill, but also, probably .going to live when he looked at me and said, " thats the most beautiful nurse I've ever seen. " Which was true, she was lovely, so his brain was still working, but he was also very ill to tell ME that. They were prepping him for emergency kidney surgery and had given him, the Good Stuff.

333 "It felt symbolic in that we're moving in unison," says dancer and educator Kelly King who organized the protest, "And there's something just compelling to see a straight line of movers dancing this way in a march."

Forgetting the "compelling" presentation of amorphous-clothed silhouettes moving in a non-distinguishable forms where movements were horribly muted by winterwear, what was impressive about it? It was monkey see monkey do mirroring. The only messaging was the lack of originality. Robots in sync have very narrow limits in displaying "compelling" acts. What we witnessed were boring drones with actions hidden by gortex and fabric. And how, exactly, would this compel someone to say, "Hey, that's inspiring! I now, definitely, want to see gay guys eating pudding under a moonlight but set to 'It's Raining Men'."

338 "I'm told by a reasonably informed source that to go to the top of an ER triage list you either need chest pains or to be suicidal."

I walked into an ER years ago, caught a nurse's eye and tapped my chest. They took me in straight away. Scoped that afternoon and cracked open the next day.

She was a lot better looking than Woody Allen.
