The 8th Circuit reversed the lower court's ruling that a school may impose a requirement on students that they must use other students' fake pronouns.
It's unconstitutional to compel speech, they reaffirmed.The Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit by an unknown "Republican" supposedly running for president demanding that Trump be barred from running for president on the left's pet theory that "insurrectionists" can't run for that office. Trump claimed that the judge had thrown out "80%" of the New York state charges against him due to the statute of limitations barring them. But he misunderstood.
Leor Sapir
@LeorSapir BREAKING: 8th Circuit reverses lower court decision, rules 3-0 in PDE v Linn Mar Community School District (Iowa) that a school may not compel its students to use gender identity-based language as doing so likely violates the 1st and 14th Amendments. This decision to grant a preliminary injunction is correct. Use of gender identity language should be strictly voluntary. It may not be compelled by government entities. By the same token, students should not take advantage of the court's ruling and use it as an excuse to harass and be cruel to their peers. The demands of civility go both ways. Plaintiffs also challenged the school's secret gender transition policy, but a recently passed Iowa law, which requires disclosure to parents, makes this challenge moot, rules the court. Judge Jane Kelly, an Obama appointee, concurred in the outcome but clarified that the 1st Amendment violation could have been avoided with more careful language (e.g., "respect") by the school board. She points out that the school is under obligation to adopt gender identity "inclusive" policies under state and federal civil rights law.
Engoron apologized for his comments and stated that any future real estate deals "restart" the statute of limitations -- meaning that the attorney general’s office needs to "connect the dots" to include the evidence about a 2011 deal discussed on Monday. "I understand that the defendants strongly disagree on this and will appeal on this ground," Engoron said.Megyn Kelly digests the law that Trump is being persecuted under -- it requires no showing of any harm suffered by anyone, no proof that anyone relied upon an alleged misrepresentaiton, no proof the person making the alleged misrepresentation knew it was a misrepresentation. Only evidence that two or more people were "effected" by the misrepresentation. It's a "fraud" prosecution without the bother of having to establish fraud.
Trump posted a "truth" demanding to know why the court's clerk was "palling around with Charles Schumer," because Trump always focuses like a laser on the truly important stuff.
The judge imposed a gag order prohibiting him from "personal attacks" "on my staff." Retailers reported a record $112 billion in losses due to theft and violence last year. Don't worry, they're all insured! And if you're paying more at the market to make up for the huge amount of organized looting -- don't worry, you're insured too! Or something! Many email have been discovered, written by Biden family members and "business" associates, which refer to Joe Biden as "the Big Guy" -- thus confirming that he was in fact "the Big Guy" that Hunter was holding 10% of the CEFC deal for. Peter Baker of the NYT says the big story here is that no one has yet produced proof that Biden directly received any money.
Carol RothNo less an authority than Biden's own corrupt brother refers to him as "the Big Guy."
@caroljsroth An examination of the mafia finds that members often traded on the boss's name but did not turn up evidence that the boss himself benefited.
According to a new report, Frank Biden, the president's brother, referred to him as the "Big Guy" multiple times while working for an industrial manufacturing company called Federal Signal Corporation.
Frank Biden, President Joe Biden's youngest brother, was "hired by the Illinois-based industrial manufacturing firm Federal Signal Corp. to help connect the company with Florida lawmakers," the Journal reported. "During a weekly call, Frank Biden, 69 years old, would frequently interrupt the meeting and say he had to take a call from 'the Big Guy,' as he put it." Frank Biden would say, "I've got to put you on hold, the Big Guy is calling me," Matthew Brady, a Federal Signal employee, recalled of prior conversations, the Journal reported. "I thought, 'OK, great, your brother is the vice president.'"
David Harsanyi
@davidharsanyi This is such a silly argument. If Biden helped enrich his entire family by allowing letting them -- and, as evidence strongly suggests, participating -- in leveraging his position, it is corrupt. 'Yeah, judge, I help plan the robbery, but I gave all the money to my kids!' is not any kind of excuse.
Marc ThiessenNo DiReCt EvIdEnCe ThAt JoE wAs InVoLvED!
@marcthiessen If I was going to bribe Joe Biden, I would not write a check and make it out to "Joseph Robinette Biden" and deposit it in his personal bank account. That's not how corruption works. I would funnel money to his son and his grandchildren and his brother. I'd buy them cars. And invest in their businesses that provide zero return on investment. And create plausible deniability. There won't be a "smoking gun" unless the people funneling money to the Biden family business are utterly incompetent.
Biden should stop focusing on the economyAh yes. Running, perpetually, on January 6th. That never gets old.
If the president isn't getting credit for how he's has improved the economy by now, then he won't get such credit anytime soon. It's understandable, even laudable, that President Joe Biden began his re-election campaign by touting the economic gains the country has made since he's been president. But he wouldn't necessarily have to tout them if the impact of those gains were deeply felt by most people. The numbers show that Americans generally are better off than we were when Biden took office. Even so, and despite the "It's the economy, stupid" message that helped Bill Clinton's campaign win in 1992, if Biden isn't getting credit for how he's improved the economy by now, then he won't get such credit anytime soon. I say this as a Democrat who supports President Biden and was the press secretary for his wife, Jill Biden, the president needs to reevaluate the approach to how and what he is communicating to the American people. More than that, he needs to make the election about how Republicans have disqualified themselves from leading the country. As part of that strategy, he can do what Republicans have done effectively and use wedge issues to motivate and outrage their own voters.
Even tired old liberal bitch Bill Maher is down to begging for someone to give Biden the tap on the shoulder and say "It's time to retire, pops."

What's the tax accounting on those losses? Is the merch worth more to the retailer sold, or stolen? Since everything is corrupt and/or an op now, I wouldn't be surprised if retailers are goosing those numbers to play the current climate of wildings.

Trump, on Truth Social, is attacking Judge Engoron's *clerk," — who is literally in the courtroom with him — while calling her "Chuck Schumer's girlfriend" and posting a link to her Instagram account.
I suspect this will be an exhibit in some gag order arguments.
NOTABLE: Trump has removed the post from his Truth Social account. Unclear if this has come up in court.
! Per @eorden, Judge Engoron has imposed a limited gag order on all parties, (clearly aimed at Trump), forbidding speaking/posting about members of the court staff.
NEWS: A NY judge issued a gag order after Donald Trump attacked a member of his staff on social media, including a picture of her in the post
It comes as a judge in D.C. is considering a broader gag order demanded by prosecutors
---------
BTW, a news chyron here reported the "Schumer's girlfriend" insult as if Trump meant it literally and Trump is lying again!!!

The McCarthys, the McConnells, even the GOP candidates running for office do not get we have entered a period of abnormal politics and the old shuck and jive just won't work. The donors of both parties need to be gored and exposed as the manipulative and depraved fuckers that they are.

I think not. From the description at the link it sounds like just inventory. Maybe burdened, but it would not include all the stuff you list (insurance, security,....) as they are operating expenses. Shrinkage is loss in inventory and nothing else. That would be wholesale cost of products purchased but not sold, returned, in stock, etc.
The total cost of theft would include the additional operating costs but that is a number which can not be, and never is, calculated.

Rather stupid comment. MTG had her district redone against her favor after her initial election in 2020 by the local GOPe which took GOP voters and shoved them into the adjacent GOP district and she was already primaried last election in 2022 with the patented GOPe splitter strategy. She won overwhelmingly in the primary and against the Dem--not even close.
GOPe is dying and the major question is whether it will try to take the whole GOP down with it or not. My guess is that it will.

The man's actions as POTUS made it quite clear what was important to him. While the guy was getting crucified by the Democrats over *two* impeachment hearings, the GOPe was standing right beside them holding spare nails. For years he was the only voice on our side. To this day, we've got a bunch of GOP candidates for the nomination who've said...
*checks notes*
..absolutely nothing in his defense over what's going on in DC, GA, NY, etc etc etc. Again, like they hope to step over his political corpse and just assume the office like nothing happened. I said it was wrong then, and I still think it.

@RonDeSantis
When we take on issues in Florida, we don’t engage in any political theater. If we tell you we’re going to do something, we do it. It’s all about results!

My sense is that Ace is a pompous snobbish A-hole. He/She/It, whatever Ace is, belongs with the NeverTrumpers, but he/she/it (it, for short) thinks it is better than the NeverTrump frauds - Ahoy!
This fairly innocuous post is an example.
Everyone knows that President Trump’s social media practices, whether on X or Truth, is not the epitome of high-class etiquette or intellectual rigor
And the fact is, no conservative or America First blue-collar working class voter gives a fuck about it.
Only elitist A-holes like Bill Kristol, Tom Nichols, and Ace - who I affectionately call “AllFatAss” because it’s my best guess at its future non de plume with The Dispatch and The Bulwark - pretend to care.

The tinder is just laying there from the people. They know we are in serious problems as the nation is coming apart at the seams and yet the DC crowd is busy spending until the dollar is worthless on useless things that only benefit whale donors and their hirelings.
During Churchill's time in the political wilderness---he ended up PM when the worst had happened because he was the only one telling the people the truth about the situation with Germany and the lack of preparedness of the British.
Chamberlain and his Cabinet cronies were busy lying to themselves and the British people that the Corporal become Chancellor was a worthwhile partner in securing peace in our time.

Lotsa folks in congress are getting their mordida from Z's payroll. I would hope that they hold the funding for Z over their heads. No support for the GOP speaker, no vote for Z's paycheck. Every day he goes with the risk of no income, is an incremental tick in the divulgence of the blackmail he holds on them.

- Require anyone who sells on Amazon to sell NO WHERE ELSE at lower price.
They own online, the only thing left is to destroy brick and mortar.
Once Amazon is the only place you can buy stuff, what is to stop them from doubling the price? As it is, Amazon margins are pretty stunning.

He did pick a side. McCarthy's. It's a variation of the same thing you hear from all Republicans, every time one is getting called out for cuckotry: "Giving away the game is bad and I am severely conservatively against what that bad man did for the Dems, he is the worst, but Reagan's thirteenth commandment, and he's done some good things too, and we have to save him to fight the Democrats radical agenda, and wait nevermind he's awesome and I want him inside me now"

House Republicans voted to approve a bill to fund President Donald Trump’s $5 billion demand for a border wall, setting up a final showdown in the Senate ahead of Friday’s deadline to avert a government shutdown.
The vote received no Democratic support, and the bill’s prospects in the Senate are dim as Democrats have pledged to defeat the divisive measure.
The final tally was 217-185, with eight Republicans voting against the package, which includes $5.7 billion to construct a border wall, $7.8 billion for disaster relief and would fund the government until Feb. 8.

Simply put, our national government runs on interest group networks and behind those networks are oligarch sugar daddies that rake in megabucks from their various monopolistic rackets in order to make themselves even richer. With the mere droppings from the whole deal, the Uniparty rats get fatter and fatter.
Whoever gets to be King Rat is neutered by the Deep State if Republican and merrily goes along with it if Democrat.

I have NO loyalty to McCarthy but these public immolations kill the chance to arrest the progress of Democrats and sell trust to many voters. Perhaps everyone here enjoys being in the minority.

A very good question. I understand Gaetz's problems with McCarthy, which I also have, but I'm not sure what endgame he has in mind, if in fact he's thought very far ahead. This might be a case of throwing the baby out with the dirty bath water.

Democrat donors put their money into one or two pools (ramrods like Nancy) who then control all the Dems. Thus the Dems march in a straight line of accomplishment.

McCarthy actually got the Speaker job because he was centralizing fundraising like the Dems do. Then he promptly sought out quislings for new GOP congressional candidates so as not to rock the boat.

I'm starting to wonder, quite seriously, if all you Boomer and Silents remember as far back as I do. Because I remember 1980 - when Reagan was an underdog and didn't exactly sweep the country on election night. Even against Jimmy Carter. Even after the Misery Index, and hostages on TV for over a year.
Understand that, and you'll understand America. I don't think folks here do.

Nobody in the U.S. Congress, especially the Republicans, give a f*ck about DeSanctimonious.
The Congressman from Florida who led the charge to remove/vacate McCarthy from the House Speaker position endorsed President Trump for re-election in 2024; and in effect told his alleged Governor, DeSanctimonious to go do the job he was elected to do and to stop being led like a puppy on a leash by his wife.

The Impeachment of Sponge Brain Shits Pants is going nowhere and will go nowhere, even if it gets to the US Senate.
They should have started with Mayorkas or Garland in February, not Senile Joe three weeks ago.
McCarthy could have done a lot of simple things. Like releasing all the January 6 videos.

Hence the really, really big problem with Conservatism. And I understand most of you here are self-identifying Conservatives. Yet, it needs to be said, because it is true.
Reform is messy. You'll sometimes have to take a step back before you can take two forward. And that step back will make you unpopular, because of the messy.
Conservatism is a failed ethos. Find another. Any ethos based on the preservation of order above all else is a suckers game.

It's been the problem forever.
It still is, and will be tomorrow. The least we can fucking do is not cheer for the retards that pitch a fit and upend the table in the middle of the game. Who knows, maybe someone could put enough pressure on McCarthy to eventually get something for our side?
Now what? Now some other schmuck takes over and starts from square one.

No money for Ukraine. That is about six billion or so saved or more from those greedy bastards until a Speaker is voted upon.
A separate vote due to a deal between McCarthy and McConnell on that six billion was on deck to be voted on next along with GOP failure theater border security bill that would promptly die in the Senate.
Firing McCarthy put the kibosh on that as well for now.

Kevin McCarthy will NOT be running again as Speaker.
I nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.

"Trump posted a "truth" demanding to know why the court's clerk was "palling around with Charles Schumer," because Trump always focuses like a laser on the truly important stuff."
why is a senator, not just any senator but one of the leaders of the senate, palling around with a nothing court clerk? his arm around her no less? Do the words "the fix is in" mean anything to you? Or are you so enamored with the nevertrumpers that you just don't see how the establishment lines up against trump?
