If UT is like every other ultra-liberal college, and they are, they had their PR moment to show compliance with the law only to simply rename the program and continue without slowing down. We've seen this often.

83 million?Donald Trump in furor stormed out of a New York courtroom for a while, in the defamation suit brought by author and dating/boyfriend/sex-advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.It was just settled against Trump for $83.3 million! The Carroll suit was largely subsidized by Reid Hoffman the billionaire capitalist, and mega-donor to the Democratic Party and leftwing causes.The subtext of Trump’s rage, aside from the outrageous monetary size of the defamation ruling, is that he was facing—and angered—a leftwing claimant, a quite hostile leftwing judge, and a leftwing New York jury.The civil suit serves as a mere preview of four additional leftwing criminal prosecutions, leftwing judges, and leftwing juries to come—all on charges that would never had been filed if Trump either had not run for president or been a liberal progressive.Yet here we are.The E. Jean Carroll case is the most baffling of all five. She, the alleged victim, did not remember even the year in which the purported sexual assault took place, nearly three decades ago. Observers have pointed out dozens of inconsistencies in her story.It was never clear what were the preliminaries that supposedly (Trump denies meeting her) led both, allegedly, willingly to retreat together to a department store dressing room, where during normal business hours the alleged violence took place.Moreover, the sexual assault complaint came forward decades post facto—and only after Trump was running for and then president.Carroll eventually sued him for battery, but well after the statute of limitations had expired and thus the case seemed defunct.Her claims of defamation injuries arise from being fired from her advice column job at ELLE magazine.She claimed that Trump’s sharp denials and ad hominem retorts led to her career ruin. But the loss for anyone of a column at 76 does not seem such a rare occurrence, and the absence of a salaried job in one’s late seventies for four years does not seem to equate to a $83 million hit.And note the allegation that her dispute with Trump led to her firing was strongly denied by the very magazine that cut her loose.But then another strange thing happened. In 2022, a new law (“The Adult Survivors Act”) was passed in the New York legislature. It also post facto established a twelve-month window (beginning six months from the signing of bill) that permitted survivors of long ago alleged sexual assaults suddenly to sue the accused long-ago perpetrator—regardless of the previous statute of limitations.That unexpected opening suddenly gave Carroll’s prior unsuccessful efforts a rebirth. And she quickly refiled with the help of arch-Trump hating billionaire Hoffman.Yet the bill may have been introduced with Trump particularly in mind—given the legislator who introduced it, Brad Hoylman-Siga, was known as another Trump antagonist.More interestingly, he had earlier introduced and had passed another Trump-targeted bill. That “TRUST” act had empowered particular federal Congressional committees to have access to the New York State once sealed tax returns of high-ranking government officials—such as Trump.That bill’s generally agreed subtext was a green light for anti-Trump members of Congress to obtain legal access to Donald J. Trump's tax returns.So there is an eerie feeling that the New York legislature may have abruptly passed legislation that was aimed at the past conduct of Donald Trump but only after he entered the political arena.While these are not quite bills of attainder, there is something unsettling if they are post facto laws aimed at targeting the most famous and controversial man in America and the leading candidate for the presidency.In essence they were targeted statutes designed to make Trump’s prior legally unactionable behavior suddenly quite legally actionable.Trump will be subject to such special treatment all summer and fall.Prosecutors Bragg, James, Smith, and Willis will synchronize their court business for maximum effect.Trump again will face leftwing prosecutors, judges, and juries on charges that are politically driven, involving alleged behavior that is either usually not criminalized or not to the same degree as Trump’s case. (Do we remember the nearly $375,000 federal fine belatedly leveled at an exempt Obama but only five years after his 2008 illegal garnering of, and not reporting, foreign campaign contributions?)The stakes are higher each day as Trump closes in on the nomination and thus becomes the hope of half the country to end the Biden madness.Somehow Trump will have to stay calm, give no opening to his legion of hostile prosecutors, while conducting a nonstop campaign against Biden (and for a while Hayley), and while fighting to keep his name on various state ballots.So what we are witnessing is not even the extralegal efforts of Steele/Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie/DNC/Hillary Clinton in 2016, or the 2020 “Russian disinformation” ruse/change the voting laws/infuse half a billion dollars to absorb the work of the registrar machinations against Trump.We are way beyond all that. The legal system itself, hand-in-glove with leftwing politicos (compare campaign boasts of James and Willis, or prosecutorial visits to the January 6 committee and the White House) is turning the process of balloting and elections into an embarrassing farce.Still, Trump will have to soldier on. He must stay controlled amid the tsunamis, not play into the hands of his accusers, and remember that he may soon be the only eleventh-hour hope to stop this mockery of American law, customs and traditions.

Re: Orkin/Chicago Bed Bugs. Does it surprise you that they are finding bed bugs given the numbers of uninspected illegals who have entered the US? Not only are these people bringing their poverty with them, they are also bringing numerous insects carrying diseases never seen in the US or eradicated decades ago.

Jeb Bush said illegal immigration was an "act of love". How lovey is it to bring deleterious insects into the US which eat the food in the fields thus requiring a massive uptick in pesticide use? Or suck the blood out of people while they sleep?

In my over 40 years working with insects and other tiny organisms, I never saw a bed bug or got a call about them until about 15 years ago. Coincides with the open border policy of many presidents of both parties.

There appears to be something massively wrong with the Kansas City deaths. If their deaths were innocent, the lawyers are telling dissimilar stories.

Why would anyone want to watch Jeopardy or anything outside in 0 degree weather? As the first comment said, nobody wears noise cancelling earphones for 2 days straight.

Im hoping she’s at least straight…

Of course right off the bat she said it was a 12.5 hour flight to Austin - it’s actually 2.5 hours

Guess we’re taking the long way home.

Problem is the 73 8Max doesn’t have the fuel for a 12.5 hour flight 😳


Well I’m alive 😎

We landed in heavy fog couldn’t even see the deck until 50’ AGL

That had me a little worried, but she actually did a good job or as the joke goes when learning to fly…

Student to Instructor, “What’s a good landing?”

Instructor, “Anytime you can walk away from one is considered a good landing.”

That was my feeling yesterday.

But I do shit you not that right before landing when they’re thanking all of the people for flying she said, “Thanks for flying Delta.”

I was on an American Airlines flight.

Oh well as we say here in Colombia…

“Gracias a Dios” which is “Thanks be to God”

The best part is I’m here with my now 96.5 year-old father who is still fit as a fiddle and pissing fire and vinegar.

Hope there is a special super hot blow torch of a place in Hell for her and her ilk to live out eternity.

Trump and Carroll for damage to her reputation. But the new verdict is over $83 million. This makes no mathematical sense and cannot be squared with the law of preclusion. The only way that the damages for renewed defamation could exceed the original $5 million is by virtue of a new punitive damages component which itself cannot be unmoored to baseline compensatory damages. A reputation once injured and compensated cannot be recompensed a second time at more than an order of magnitude higher than the original recompense. But the damages here do not meet those basic conditions. Ergo, it is illogical. Ergo, it is illegal. Ergo, it is a travesty of justice. Q.E.D.

The DNC convention will be a repeat of the Chicago one from the late 60s. Riots in the streets.
Republicans should be recruiting black leaders now to run for office. Bring them in like newt and his cohorts did in GA when they switched party’s

I have noise cancelling headphones and I have them on for several hours at night while the wife watches TV.

Unless I missed it, I didn't get they were watching Jeopardy outside in 0° weather. I thought they were inside watching it and then left the home... probably drunk as skunks as well...?

A better explanation is they went out back to play a trick on him and fell asleep in the cold.

Dying in the freezing cold isn't so bad really. It's like hypothermia. You get tired and all warm and go to sleep and wake up dead.
