Anyone who has watched DeWine knew he wasn't going to appoint Vivek. DeWine is a RINO through and through.

What a Dick.............




BLUMENTHAL: "Let's put aside the labels and what happened in the past. There are still 1,000 children who were separated and waiting to be reunited. I'd like your commitment to continuing the effort to reunite them with their parents."NOEM: "Well, I can't put aside 300,000 children. Keeping families together is critically important to me and to this country. I'm concerned about Laken Riley's family and that they no longer have her... We will uphold our laws and make sure we are doing everything we can to keep children safe from the trafficking and drug epidemics."

The Supreme Court upholds the TikTok Ban

Many members of Congress bought META stock as they were voting to ban TikTok, they’re getting rich while eliminating their donors competition

Congressman Michael McCaul who wrote The TikTok Ban Bill invested $1.15 Million into META after writing the bill

- On March 3rd, he authored the TikTok Ban Bill
- On March 22nd, he invested $150,000 in META
- On the 26th, he invested another $150,000
- On the 28th, he invested another $150,000

So about three weeks after writing the TikTok Ban Bill, this man invested $450,000 in TikTok's competitor.

Oh, and then what did he do once he saw his TikTok ban was gonna be included with all the Ukraine funding:

- Well, on April 1st, he invested $350,000 more in META, followed by the fifth where he invested that again.

Then about a week later, of course, he voted yes on the bill he wrote.

So within the span of 40 days, this dude wrote the TikTok ban bill, proceeded to invest $450,000 in the competitor, and then invested another $700,000, taking his total investment and META at a $1.15 million.

And then he voted yes. Now, obviously the word most people are using here is suspicious, but the word we should be using is criminal.

This man wrote the f***** bill to ban TikTok, proceeded to invest more than a million dollars in its competitor, whose stock will skyrocket if TikTok actually gets banned, and then voted on the bill to ban it.

Are you paying attention yet?” #tiktokban
It’s all about censorship.

‘Stood up to fake news’: CNN liable for defaming Navy veteran to the tune of $5 million — and settled before the jury could decide punitive damages​

Inset: Zachary Young in court on the first day of his defamation case against CNN (The Washington Free Beacon/Pool photos). Background: “The Lead with Jake Tapper” being played during Tuesday’s proceedings (The Washington Free Beacon/Pool photos).
A Florida jury on Friday morning put itself into position to deliver money justice to a U.S. Navy veteran who was defamed by CNN during a broadcast about his private business efforts to evacuate people from Afghanistan as the war-torn country was overrun by the Taliban.


A unanimous six-person jury in Bay County determined the cable news network was liable for defamation stemming from a November 2021 segment on “The Lead with Jake Tapper” in which journalist Alex Marquardt painted Zachary Young as an “illegal profiteer” exploiting “desperate Afghans” with “exorbitant” fees amid the fallout of President Joe Biden’s chaotic withdrawal, according to the language of the lawsuit.

Young maintained CNN’s broadcast effectively tarred him as a scofflaw and ruined his business, making it nearly impossible for him to work because of the severe damage to his reputation that ensued.

Jurors agreed. On the first count, defamation per se, the jury ruled in Young’s favor. On the second count of defamation by implication, the Sunshine State residents also ruled for Young.

In sum, jurors awarded Young $4 million for lost employment and $1 million for pain and suffering, and said that CNN should also be subject to punitive damages. However, at around 4:15 p.m. on Friday, as the jurors were presumably deliberating that amount, Fourteenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge William Henry announced that the parties had come to an agreement, and told the jurors their job was done.


Closing arguments took up several hours for each party before the jury was tasked with deliberations on Thursday.

The plaintiff’s side brought a theme all the way back home during their penultimate presentation in the Emerald Coast adjacent courtroom.

During opening statements, Young’s lead attorney Devin “Vel” Freedman played up the notion that CNN was aware the broadcast in question was a “hit piece” it knew to be “theater” when it aired.

The attorney reprised the claim in dramatic fashion — repeatedly playing a minimalistic clip of Marquardt raising his hands and arms in a theatrical gesture while saying the word “theater” and laughing.

“He admitted it,” Freedman said. “You rarely get smoking gun documents like this in a legal case. You just rarely do.”

On the stand, the plaintiff’s attorney reminded jurors, the CNN journalist explained away his behavior by saying he was a fan of a Jon Lovitz character on “Saturday Night Live” who used the same catchphrase while making a similar gesture. Under pressure, however, Marquardt was reminded that the Lovitz catchphrase is actually: “Acting.”

“Did you see his face when that happened?” Freedman asked the jury. “The veneer shattered. He was a liar. He was engaging in theater. He was caught in it. He lied about it. He was caught in it again. CNN knew the story wasn’t true. They knew they had no facts to support it — but they hated Zach — so they orchestrated theater. They set him up and they took him down.”


Young’s lawyer said they were able to confirm 1.6 million people viewed the broadcast, and that their high range estimates suggest some 2.7 people might have seen it. Those numbers, the plaintiff’s attorney said, dwarfed that of viewers who saw the correction.

“The correction was seen by 942,000 people,” Freedman said. “But let’s be honest, the correction didn’t do anything. Doesn’t matter. The man can’t get hired. It doesn’t matter how many people saw it. They issued a correction because they were trying to get out of a lawsuit.”
