Evidently the Federalist has posted a hit piece on Dolly Parton, of all people. As someone said on Twitter, they thought Taylor Swift’s fans were vindictive? Ha!

Just as we all thought, none of the Sandy Hook families have seen a dime of Alex Jones’ money yet. How is this justice for these families? They won their case 2 years ago.

Alex Jones agrees to liquidate his assets to pay Sandy Hook families, in move that would end his ownership of Infowars | CNN Business

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre.

Same here. I spent most of my life as an independent voter who thought Dems had good ideas and some Rs had good ideas. Just different means to get there.

……In total, the questionable expenses flagged by the Beast and the Campaign Legal Center total in the thousands. But of particular interest was more than $1,000 spent in a single night at Gold Rush Cabaret, which describes itself as a “fully-nude strip club” on its website. Notably, Gold Rush Cabaret is located in Miami — Florida, not Minnesota.

Pakman pressed White repeatedly to explain the $1,200 expense at Gold Rush Cabaret in his interview. White initially responded that the FEC filing was an error, but pivoted quickly to claiming instead that his staffers — not him — had visited the nightclub with the sole purpose of buying food. The entirety of the $1,200 check, he asserted, was spent on the restaurant’s menu offerings.

“It was recently revealed you spent campaign donations at a strip club. Is that true?” Pakman asked.

“The Daily Beast is not a good source, that’s for one,” an irritated White said. “No, they didn’t say that I spend the funds at a strip club.”

But then the pivot: “Or no, let’s say, they didn’t say that I spent the funds on strippers,” White clarified. “They sell food at a strip club, don’t they?”

Pakman then responded: “You spent the money on food at a strip club. Is that more accurate?”

After a back-and-forth, White responded to that query: “I’m not saying that I spent the money. I’m saying that there was a filing on my FEC report that shouldn’t have been there, and potentially should have been reimbursed by somebody [else], who may have been at the strip club. But ... there is food at the strip club, so to say it was spent on strippers is not based on factual evidence.”

White then commented that Pakman seemed to have a lot of time for the subject of his campaign spending, to which the host responded: “Well it’s because you’re obviously lying.”

His excuse seems unusual at best. A quick visit to the Gold Rush Cabaret’s website reveals that the establishment’s food offerings are quite inexpensive: the priciest item is an appetizer sampler including empanadas, wings, mozzarella sticks, and a veggie quesadilla for $25. Every other item on the menu, including all entrees, are priced below $20. Alcoholic beverages are not typically permitted as part of expensed staff meals under FEC guidelines.…….

Conservatives are calling for a boycott of department store Kohl’s over its refusal to sponsor the Republican National Convention, which is being held in the state where the retailer is headquartered.

Some posters have even pledged to “Bud Light the f*** out of” Kohl’s in reference to the boycott that took a massive bite of sales of the popular beer after its partnership with transgender Dylan Mulvaney.…..

A neo-Nazi group displayed a Nazi flag on the steps of South Dakota’s state capitol building as the group of extremists attempted to hold a rally on Saturday.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noemcondemned the rally, which was held just two days after the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

“Today, Nazis attempted to rally at the SD Capitol without a permit and were escorted away by Highway Patrol officers. Nazis are not welcome here in South Dakota.” she wrote on her personal X account.

“We stand on the shoulders of generations of Americans who have fought for the Freedom of all — here and abroad. We stand for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We reject all hatred and Nazis. Full stop.”

Christopher Pohlhaus, leader of Blood Tribe, claimed his members were responsible for unfurling the swastika flag and that it was in response to Noem’s online comments about the rally.

“We occupied your steps for the entire time we intended to be there, then slowly swaggered off to chant an entire lap around your house,” Pohlhaus wrote on X.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the Blood Tribe is a neo-Nazi group whose goal “is to normalize the swastika, usher in a resurgence of Nazi ideas and ultimately build a white ethnostate occupied, controlled and led by ‘Aryans.’”……

I think I will cling to the hopeful news that the polls predicted about twice as many wins for the far right as they actually got. And several countries almost eliminated them. France was the worst, and the only one that should give us pause.

Trump Atty









............On Monday, podcaster Charlie Kirk asked why she had been mocked over the claim.

"Maybe normalizing me is a problem," she replied. "People have T.D.S. (), and I think to some extent I'm an extension of that."

"I know that there were comments that were just beyond comprehension, trying to break down, fact-check me. I really can't be fact-checked on my life," she added. "I'm happy to break it down further for everybody and all the nastiness."

"No, my life is not perfect, was not perfect, but it was the way God meant it to be."..............
