You have to basically decide which problem you want to address and which you want to let get worse. Not a great position to be in, but as they say... you reap what you sow. How many economists warned that dumping trillions into the economy was going to eventually backfire? How many Democrats were unwilling to listen?
Democrats run into these problems nearly every time they gain power. Then the public slaps them down. Then they bitch and moan from the sidelines until they get their shot again, and they prove (again and again) to be incompetent once they are in charge.

Rating Agency Warns Florida Over Disney Debt Conflict
April 29, 2022 at 8:32 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 91 Comments
“One of the nation’s leading bond rating agencies warned Thursday that if the state of Florida doesn’t resolve a conflict over its decision to repeal Walt Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District and its obligation to investors, the move could harm the financial standing of other Florida governments,” the Miami Herald reports.
“Fitch Ratings posted the alert late Thursday on its Fitch Wire web site, nearly a week after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law the measure dissolving the special taxing district that governs Disney property by June 1, 2023.”

“Today, former president Donald Trump is headed to Nebraska, where he is slated to appear at a rally with Republican gubernatorial hopeful Charles Herbster, a longtime political ally who has been accused of sexually assaulting several women,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump’s appearance with Herbert underscores the risky play Trump is making by trying to be a kingmaker in GOP primaries.”

West’s Resolve to Block Russia Grows
April 29, 2022 at 7:46 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 28 Comments
“As the United States and its allies race to supply weapons to Ukraine, Britain’s military said on Friday it would deploy 8,000 soldiers to Europe to join tens of thousands of troops from NATO countries in exercises meant to deter further Russian aggression,” the New York Times reports.
“More than two months into the largest land war in Europe since the end of World War II, Russia’s slower approach and the deepening commitment of the United States and its allies to Ukraine’s victory have set the stage for a conflict that could grind on for years.”

Greene Says Satan Is Controlling the Church

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said that Christian organizations are working to resettle undocumented immigrants and refugees in the U.S. because “Satan’s controlling the church.”
Said Greene: “What it is, is Satan’s controlling the church. The church is not doing its job, and it’s not adhering to the teachings of Christ, and it’s not adhering to what the word of God says we’re supposed to do and how we’re supposed to live.”
JESUS SAID THAT HOWEVER WE TREAT EVEN THE LEAST AND THE LAST OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS (WHICH THAT WOULD INCLUDE IMMIGRANTS)-- THAT IS HOW WE ARE TREATING HIM AND GOD.
Boebert Resents Being Tied to Greene

“Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert look from the outside like MAGA twins, both loathed by Democrats for their incendiary right-wing rhetoric. But inside the House GOP, they’re not quite buddy-buddy,” Politico reports.
“Privately, Republicans say Boebert (R-CO) — who’s seen as more of a party team player than Greene — detests being tied to her Georgia colleague. And when the House Freedom Caucus board of directors gathered last month at its usual spot a few blocks from the Capitol, the two tangled over Greene’s appearance at a February event organized by a known white nationalist.”
I DON'T THINK JESUS WOULD BE HAPPY WITH GREEN'S APPROVAL OF A WHITE NATIONALIST KKK WHITE SUPREMACY TYPE.
The bottom line is that they will get blamed for it. The pandemic crisis and the war in Ukraine are causing this problem.
Most of the experts don't forsee a recession and the small drop of 1.4% and cautious options by the Fed, and as the supply chain problems continue to shrink, by election day the Democrats will keep the Senate.
The BBB will not pass.
The infrastructure plan is already working for middle class workers. And wages are improving, not well enough yet but if the economy grows up, your desire for a recession will die.

U.S. Consumers Boosted Spending in MarchHousehold spending rose 1.1% in month as consumers stepped up spending on services.
By
Harriet TorryFollow
Updated April 29, 2022 8:47 am
Consumer spending picked up sharply in March, positioning American households to help propel the economy heading into the second quarter of the year.
Personal consumption expenditures, month-over-month changeSource: Commerce Dept. via St. Louis Fed
2020'22-10-505%
Personal consumption expenditures increased a seasonally adjusted 1.1% in March from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Friday. Consumers stepped up spending on services like travel and dining, as well as on goods like gasoline and food. Spending on durable goods declined for the second month in a row, led by lower spending on vehicles.
Personal income, a measure that includes wages and government assistance, climbed 0.5% from the prior month. That was a slower rise than overall inflation, which increased 0.9% on the month in March.
Overall inflation, as measured by the Commerce Department, rose 6.6% in March from a year earlier, an acceleration from February, but when excluding volatile food and energy costs, annual inflation cooled slightly, rising 5.2% last month from a year earlier.
“We think consumers are going to continue to rotate more toward services spending,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. She expects the pickup in consumer spending should be sustainable, “but there are obviously large headwinds facing the consumer right now,” like inflation and supply-chain disruptions as a result of lockdowns in China.
Separate data from the Commerce Department released Thursday showed inflation-adjusted consumer spending for the first quarter as a whole rose at its fastest pace since last spring, boosted by spending on services like restaurant meals and health-care .
Airlines, gas stations and retailers use complex algorithms to adjust their prices in response to cost, demand and competition.
Outlays on both services and durable goods like cars picked up, even amid the brunt of the Omicron wave of Covid-19, rising inflation and supply-chain strains.
“The consumer has money. They pay down credit-card debt. Confidence isn’t high, but the fact that they have money, they’re spending their money,” JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said on an earnings call earlier this month. He expected that to continue in the second and third quarters, though inflation and the war in Ukraine pose challenges to the economic outlook, he said.

Inside the Republican Party’s Drift Away from NATO
April 29, 2022 at 9:36 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“In early 2019, several months after President Donald Trump threatened to upend the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during a trip to Brussels for the alliance’s annual summit, House lawmakers passed the NATO Support Act amid overwhelming bipartisan support, with only 22 Republicans voting against the measure,”
the Washington Post reports.
“But this month, when a similar bill in support of NATO during the Russian invasion of Ukraine again faced a vote in the House, the support was far more polarized, with 63 Republicans — more than 30 percent of the party’s conference — voting against it.”
“The vote underscores the Republican Party’s remarkable drift away from NATO in recent years, as positions once considered part of a libertarian fringe have become doctrine for a growing portion of the party.”

Matt Dolan Surges In Ohio GOP Primary
April 29, 2022 at 6:49 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 26 Comments
“The field of candidates chasing Ohio’s GOP Senate nomination has pledged allegiance to former President Donald Trump and beaten a path to Mar-a-Lago,” Politico reports.
“But not Matt Dolan. The state senator has declined to kiss the ring, and instead run as a traditional conservative — pouring $10.6 million of his own money into the effort.”
“Days before the May 3 primary, Dolan appears to be experiencing a late burst of momentum. While J.D. Vance — who received Trump’s endorsement last week — has surged into first place according to the most recent Fox News poll, Dolan was the only other top contender to gain ground in the poll since last month. A separate poll released Tuesday by Blueprint Polling actually placed Dolan in first place with 18 percent of the vote, followed by Vance at 17 percent.”
Vox:
Trump waded into the Ohio GOP Senate primary. But it’s not all about him.
HE THINKS IT IS AND WILL DOOM THE GOP.
The Return of the 20th Century Nuclear Shadow
April 29, 2022 at 6:34 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 3 Comments
Ed Luce:
“The concept of mutually assured destruction, which took hold after 1962, is that each side has a clear window on the other’s routines and thinking. Most of the information-sharing that was put in place has been abandoned in the past decade. Putin has closed down cold war protocols and even accused Russian nuclear scientists who want to meet their US counterparts of being spies.”
“This means the two adversaries, which account for 90 percent of the world’s warheads, are far more ignorant of each other’s signaling than they were in the 1970s and 1980s. Ignorance, in this situation, is not bliss.”

Employment Costs Surge Most Ever, Stoking U.S. Inflation Concern
(Bloomberg) -- U.S. employment costs jumped by the most on record at the start of the year, heightening concerns about persistent inflation that set the stage for more forceful policy action by the Federal Reserve.
The employment cost index, a broad gauge of wages and benefits, advanced 1.4% in the first quarter, according to Labor Department figures released Friday. That followed a 1% advance seen in the final months of 2021.
Stock-index futures fell on earnings misses, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note climbed. Expectations for a 75 basis-point rate increase at the Fed’s June meeting jumped after the release.
Compared with a year earlier, the labor costs measure jumped 4.5%, the most in data back to the early 2000s. Unlike the earnings measures in the monthly jobs report, the ECI is not distorted by employment shifts among occupations or industries.
Compensation gains last quarter were broad-based across industries, including strong advances in manufacturing and at service providers.
Wages and salaries for civilian workers climbed 4.7% from a year earlier, also the most on record. Benefits rose 4.1%. Excluding government, private wages increased 5% from a year earlier.
The stretch of healthy gains in employment costs underscores how rising wages are a key part of the inflationary picture, and if sustained, will keep pressure on the Fed to take a more aggressive approach to policy. In March, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the current pace of pay increases is not consistent with the central bank’s 2% inflation goal.
Inflation’s Bite
Even so, workers’ wages aren’t keeping pace with decades-high inflation, squeezing households and threatening to slow consumption.
A separate report Friday showed the Fed’s preferred gauge of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures price index, rose 6.6% in March from a year ago, the most since 1982.

The Democrats have to remind people what happened when incompetent Republicans were in charge.
The last Republican President to leave behind a great economy was George HW Bush. President Clinton lead the longest economic recovery in history. After that, George W Bush left office during the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression.

The US has left the “pandemic phase” at least for now, chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci said this week, at the same time that the White House presses for urgently needed Covid-19 funding. But as cases continue mounting around the globe, the pandemic shows no signs of ending yet – and conflicting pictures offered by top health officials may hamper the renewal of critical Covid funds and efforts like vaccination campaigns.

Moscow confirms attack onKyiv during UN chief’s visit
In an interview on Tuesday, Fauci painted an optimistic, if mixed, picture. “We are certainly, right now in this country, out of the pandemic phase,” he said, before adding, “Pandemic means a widespread, throughout the world, infection that spreads rapidly among people.”
Such a definition still applies to the Covid pandemic, experts say. While confirmed cases in the US are lower than during the first Omicron wave, they are rising in nearly all American states, and the virus continues spreading around the world.
On the same day as Fauci’s remarks, top White House officials highlighted in a press briefing the “urgent need” for replenishing Covid funds.
“So far, Congress has not stepped up to provide the funds that are needed for our most urgent needs,” said Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator.
Without these funds, the US may not be able to buy updated vaccines that may be more effective at battling Covid. The government will probably run out of monoclonal antibody treatments within the next month, and the White House cannot buy more antiviral medications, which take six to eight months to produce – setting back long-term progress on finding a new normal.
The Biden administration will continue to request $22.5bn for Covid funding, press secretary Jen Psaki said in a briefing on Wednesday, saying the funds “will help meet the immediate emergency needs we have”.
The current deal for $10bn in Covid funding has not yet been passed by Congress, and it does not include funds for global vaccination campaigns or for Covid testing and treatments for uninsured Americans.
“The funding needs are really urgent,” said Céline Gounder, infectious disease specialist and epidemiologist and editor-at-large for public health at Kaiser Health News.
Without more funds, “you are just gambling – you’re hoping to get lucky we don’t have another surge.”
But that’s a “dangerous” proposition when such a significant proportion of the population has no safety net, she said.

The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge showed consumer prices were up 6.6 percent in March compared with a year earlier, indicating that inflation accelerated from the 6.4 percent pace recorded in February, according to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis released Friday.
Economists had expected an even larger gain of 6.8 percent. Despite coming in lower than the consensus forecast, the jump in prices in March is likely to confirm the view that the Federal Reserve will have to act aggressively in the months ahead to bring inflation down toward its two percent target.
This was the largest year-over-year gain since 1982.

This is why rrb supports Putin.
Russian intelligence was behind a chemical attack on Dmitry Muratov, the Nobel peace prize-winning editor of the Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, US officials have said.
Muratov has previously said he boarded a train on 18 April heading from Moscow to the city of Samara when he was splashed with red paint containing acetone by an attacker who told him: “Muratov, this is for you from our boys.”

At the time, the veteran journalist posted on his Telegram channel photographs of his face and body covered in red oil paint, saying his eyes were “burning terribly” after the assault.
The US declassified intelligence assessment, first reported by the Washington Post, concluded that the operatives were working for unnamed Russian spy services.
Since Novaya Gazeta was founded by Muratov and colleagues in 1993, it has covered some of the country’s most sensitive topics, including the wars in Chechnya, the persecution of the LGBTQ+ community and Russian government corruption inside and outside the country.
Six of its journalists, including Anna Politkovskaya, have been killed in retaliation for their reporting. The paper announced on 28 March it was suspending operations for the duration of the war after it received repeated warnings from the state censor, Roskomnadzor.
Hours after the train attack on Muratov, a pro-Russian military telegram channel called “Union Z paratroopers” claimed responsibility for the incident, posting footage of the attack online.

Cancel’s widow, Brittany Cancel, told Fox News he leaves behind a young son and that she sees her husband as a hero.
“My husband did die in Ukraine,” Brittany Cancel said. “He went there wanting to help people, he had always felt that that was his main mission in life.”
She said her husband volunteered to go to Ukraine but also had aspirations of becoming a police officer or firefighter.
“He had dreams and aspirations of being a police officer or joining FDNY,” she told Fox. “Naturally when he found out about what was happening in Ukraine he was eager to volunteer.”

Cracks Emerge In Russian Elite
April 29, 2022 at 11:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 12 Comments
“In the two months since Russia invaded Ukraine, the silence — and even acquiescence — of the Russian elite has started to fray,” the Washington Post reports.
“Even as opinion polls report overwhelming public support for the military campaign, amid pervasive state propaganda and new laws outlawing criticism of the war, cracks are starting to show. The dividing lines among factions of the Russian economic elite are becoming more marked, and some of the tycoons — especially those who made their fortunes before President Vladimir Putin came to power — have begun, tentatively, to speak.”
“For many, the most immediate focus has been their own woes. Sweeping sanctions imposed by the West have brought down a new iron curtain on the Russian economy, freezing tens of billions of dollars of many of the tycoons’ assets along the way.”

However, when presented with a list of prominent politicians, a full 25% of Republican respondents said Ron DeSantis best represents the values of their party, second only to former President Donald Trump who was favored by 40% of Republicans. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott garnered 9%.

“President Joe Biden has been letting loose in private conversations in recent weeks, railing about the factors bogging down his approval ratings and the people he thinks aren’t helping – including Democrats eyeing his job despite his clear promise to run for reelection,” CNN reports.
“He’s gearing up for intense midterm campaigning built around hammering Republicans, as he tries to save Democrats in the House and Senate, but also to tee up a reelection campaign that for now is expected to be announced by next spring.”
“Biden is frustrated that journalists aren’t calling out Republicans for, as he sees it, giving up their principles in pursuit of power… He’s eager to unleash on the GOP ahead of the midterm elections but worries that doing so could endanger his last remaining hopes for bipartisan legislative wins.”

The bottom line is that the Democrats will get blamed for it. The pandemic crisis and the war in Ukraine are causing this problem.
Most of the experts don't forsee a recession and the small drop of 1.4% and cautious options by the Fed, and as the supply chain problems continue to shrink, by election day the Democrats will keep the Senate.

Pelosi: House to vote on Biden's $33bn Ukraine request 'as soon as possible'
Nancy Pelosi says the House will vote to pass Joe Biden’s $33bn request for aid for Ukraine “as soon as possible.”
Speaking at her weekly press briefing on Friday morning, the House speaker framed the administration’s request as one of a number of “emergencies” Congress needed to address urgently.
“We have emergencies here. We need to have the Covid money, and time is of the essence because we need the Ukraine money... so I would hope that we can do that [soon]”, Pelosi said, according to Reuters.

The speaker, however, was unable to give any indication as to when any vote might be, saying only: “We hope to as soon as possible pass that legislation”.
Biden announced on Thursday plans to more than double US spending on military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine as the country fights the two-month old Russian invasion.
Funding for coronavirus relief, meanwhile, remains stalled in Congress. The White House wants more than $20bn; and a bipartisan $10bn “agreement in principle” was scuttled by Republican anger over the Biden administration planning to end the Title 42 immigration policy that blocked migrants because of the pandemic.
Biden should negotiate the Title 42 immigration policy that blocked migrants because of the pandemic. Not repeal it

How long has Disney had this arrangement in Florida?
A very long time.
And now, just because Republicans want to treat trans people and their sensitive and sypathetic parents like criminals and pariahs, and Disney does not want to do that and wants to continue pursuing a more compassionate, understanding attitude, the Republicans want to punish them?
Look what you are trying to do to America, and just for political gain.
Those were also the divisive tactics of Hitler and Mussolini.
In the aftermath of devastating storms that knocked out power to tens of thousands of people in Connecticut in August 2020, Gov. Ned Lamont (D) called the White House seeking federal help. Hours later, then-President Trump called back.
“There’s something you want to ask me about FEMA?” Trump said, according to Lamont’s recollection. “Well, ask me nicely.”
The anecdote, reported by the New York Times journalists Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns in their forthcoming book, “This Will Not Pass,” is just one of a series of Trump’s interactions with governors that struck many state executives as blatant departures from the norms of cooperative governing.
The book, obtained by The Hill prior to its release on Tuesday, depicts Trump as a mafia don, demanding loyalty from supplicants and political opponents alike, by turns using the largest bully pulpit in the world to beat them into submission and cajoling them in private to offer support.
When Trump called California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to discuss a cruise ship moored in San Francisco Bay, on which passengers were sick with the coronavirus, Trump agreed to allow the ship to dock so passengers could be treated. Trump said he would be watching, for “the reciprocity,” according to the book.
“He used to say that even privately — that was one of his favorite words,” Newsom recalled later to authors Martin and Burns. “It says everything and nothing at the same time.”
In another call with governors revealed by the book, after Trump said he would cut back federal funding for all but two states that deployed the National Guard to battle the coronavirus pandemic, he told governors who wanted the full costs covered: “You have to call me and ask me nicely.”
Trump’s unorthodox and at times boorish approaches to politics alarmed many governors, who told the authors his uneven and sometimes disinterested concern with the coronavirus pandemic made battling the virus more difficult.
“President Trump’s comments, his rhetoric and his almost flippant attitude in some contexts made it difficult for a governor like me to really push the seriousness of the medical emergency that we’re in,” Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R), no liberal himself, told the authors.
The coronavirus pandemic was another excuse Trump used to even political scores.
When Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) ordered his state reopened, contrary to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Trump took the opportunity to blast his onetime ally in public. Privately, Trump dispatched then-press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to demand Kemp rescind his order, the book reports.
Republican governors, frustrated by the lack of direction from a White House under the control of their own party, took to holding private conference calls outside of the administration’s earshot to strategize and share best practices to combat the pandemic.
On a visit to the White House early in the pandemic, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) was taken aback when Trump showed him a room adjoining the Oval Office crammed with MAGA gear.
“They literally hand you a shopping bag, and you took anything you’d like,” Murphy recalled to the authors.
In a call with governors after nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, Trump demanded they crack down to restore order in their states. His rant was so unhinged that Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) called her husband into the room to listen in, the book said.
“You can’t make this shit up,” Brown told her husband@

The citizens of the two counties have to pay the taxes that Disney land doesn't pay anymore
While Twitter already has policies in place intended to combat spam bots, security remains a persistent challenge for the platform. Musk has vowed to solve the problem by authenticating “all real humans” on the site, but hasn’t elaborated on how he plans to accomplish that.
Meanwhile, Musk’s own follower count is significantly boosted by fake accounts. Of Musk’s current 87.9 million followers, SparkToro estimates that roughly 48% are fake—i.e., accounts that are “unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets (either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter).”
Musk has nearly 7% more fake followers than the median 41% that accounts with a similar sized followings have, SparkToro reports. By analyzing more than 25 factors correlated with spam, bots, and low quality accounts, the auditing tool found that accounts that are on an unusually small number of lists, accounts that have no url or a non-resolving url in their profile, and accounts that have a suspiciously small number of followers were some of the most frequently observed traits of a sample of 2,000 random accounts from the most recent 100,000 accounts that followed Musk.
Even so, those stats aren’t outside the norm for prominent Twitter personalities like Musk. Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former President Barack Obama, for instance, boast fake follower percentages of 46% and 44% for their respective followings of 58.4 million and 131.7 million, while celebrities like Kim Kardashian (72.2 million followers) and Cristiano Ronaldo (99.5 million followers) land at approximately 45% and 43%.
SparkToro’s tool can no longer access data for former President Donald Trump, but it estimated in 2018 that 61% of his 54.8 million followers at the time were fake. Trump’s following increased to nearly 89 million by the time he was permanently banned from Twitter in January 2021.
Like many of Musk’s high-minded goals for Twitter, exterminating spam bots won’t be easy, and one of the best indicators of his success may be a considerable drop in his own follower count.
The anecdote, (totally fucking made up and pure fucking fiction fabricated by the book's authors) reported by the New York Times journalists Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns in their forthcoming book, “This Will Not Pass,” is just one of a series of Trump’s interactions with governors that struck many state executives as blatant departures from the norms of cooperative governing.

I REPLY:
Let me ask you this:
Why was Disney (one of the first enormous theme parks) given such status when all the other (and mostly later) theme parks were not?
Can YOU answer that?
My answer would be:
Apparently at the time, and for a long time since, both Disney and local government thought and have felt that would be and has been to their mutual advantages.
And so my question is,
Why does this suddenly change because certain people now want to gain politically by waging cultural war against gays and trans and their parents?
Got a reasonable answer for that?

Russia taking ‘colossal’ losses in eastern battle, says Ukraine
A Ukrainian presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, has acknowledged that its army has taken heavy losses as Moscow’s forces, having failed to seize the capital, redoubled their efforts to fully capture the eastern Donbas region.
But Arestovych said casualties in the invading army were even worse. Speaking earlier today, he said:
We have serious losses, but the Russians’ losses are much much bigger … They have colossal losses.
Western officials said today that Russia had been suffering fewer casualties after narrowing the scale of its invasion but numbers were still “quite high”.

European Union countries are likely to approve a phased embargo on Russian oil as early as next week, according to EU officials.
The New York Times reports that European ambassadors are expected to give their approval of a finalised proposal by the end of next week after meeting on Wednesday, citing several EU officials and diplomats involved in the process.
The oil embargo will be the biggest and most important step in the EU’s sixth package of sanctions since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
The package would also include sanctions against Russia’s biggest bank, Sberbank, as well as additional measures against high-profile Russians, officials said.

Kansas bill banning transgender athletes in school sports falls short of veto override in House
Noah Taborda, Kansas Reflector
April 29, 2022
An effort to ban transgender athletes from school sports failed Thursday after the House fell short on an attempt to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of the bill.
The bill, a subject of significant debate the past two sessions, garnered 81 votes in favor, falling short of the 84 required a two-thirds majority vote to overturn the veto. On Tuesday, the Senate voted 28-10 to override Kelly’s veto of Senate Bill 160.
Republicans argue the bill is the best way to ensure fairness. They said transgender athletes in women’s sports have an unfair advantage compared with those assigned the female gender at birth. Opponents of the measure, predominantly Democrats, say the bill is hateful and political.

ProPublica is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom. Sign up for The Big Story newsletter to receive stories like this one in your inbox.
The federal Department of Education has begun investigating Liberty University’s handling of student reports of sexual assault. In a statement to ProPublica, the school pledged its “full cooperation” with the investigation.
Last October, ProPublica revealed how the school, which was founded by evangelist Jerry Falwell, had discouraged students who tried to report being sexually assaulted. Some students who came forward were encouraged to sign forms acknowledging they might have broken Liberty’s moral code of conduct, “The Liberty Way.” Others described being encouraged to pray instead of reporting their cases.
Federal law requires that universities receiving federal funds properly handle claims of sexual assault. Liberty students receive hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid. Following our story, senators urged the U.S. Department of Education to investigate.
Liberty students told ProPublica that federal agents have been at the school’s campus in Lynchburg, Virginia, this week. In an email viewed by ProPublica, a Department of Education official reached out to student advocates to arrange meeting times. An agency spokesperson declined to comment, citing a policy not to discuss ongoing investigations.

A member of the Georgia chapter of the Oath Keepers militia group has pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of Congress in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and will cooperate “fully” with prosecutors going forward.
ADVERTISEMENT
Brian Ulrich, 44, is one of 11 defendants named in one of the most high-profile cases in the government’s sprawling prosecution of those who carried out the attack on the Capitol. He is the second defendant in that case, which also charges Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, 57, to plead guilty.
Co-defendant Joshua James, of Alabama, pleaded guilty in March. He will also cooperate with the government.
According to an announcement from the DOJ, Ulrich admitted that from November 2020 through January 2021, he “conspired with other Oath Keeper members and affiliates to use force to prevent, hinder and delay the execution of the laws of the United States governing the transfer of presidential power.”
Ulrich’s 14-page plea agreement includes an expansive cooperation clause, obligating him to “testify fully, completely and truthfully before any and all Grand Juries in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, and at any and all trials of cases or other court proceedings in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, at which your client’s testimony may be deemed relevant by the Government.”
That could be bad news for Rhodes, whose name appears some 26 times in the statement of offense signed by Ulrich, detailing his admitted activities on, before and during Jan. 6, 2021.
According to the DOJ:
He and others used encrypted and private communications, equipped themselves with a variety of weapons, donned combat and tactical gear, and were prepared to use force to stop the transfer of power.
In the weeks leading to Jan. 6, 2021, Ulrich and others used an application called “Signal” to prepare for the actions that would take place that day. Ulrich encouraged others in a group called “Oath Keepers of Georgia” to join him in Washington. In one chat, on Dec. 5, 2020, he messaged the group, “I seriously wonder what it would take just to get ever patriot marching around the capital armed? Just to show our government how powerless they are!’ On Dec. 11, 2020, Ulrich messaged the group chat that “Civil War” may be necessary if Joseph R. Biden became President of the United States, adding “I made my peace with God before I joined.” Another individual later messaged, “remember, it is not over until January 20th.” Ulrich responded, “And if there’s a Civil War then there’s a Civil War.”
Ulrich had also purchased tactical gear including two-way radio receivers, a tactical holster, a medical tourniquet, and a motorcycle helmet, according to the DOJ.

The J6 committee filed a motion in court arguing that Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows should be compelled to testify about his role in the plot to overturn the election. The filing uses Meadows’ text messages and witness testimony to paint a detailed picture of Meadows as Trump’s insurrection point man.
Meadows was subpoenaed to testify before the J6 committee in December, but at the last minute he announced that he’d had a change of heart. In true Trumpian fashion, rather than showing up to testify, Meadows sued the committee.
There are no facts in dispute.
Either Meadows has to testify or he doesn’t. Therefore, the committee asked the judge to dispense with the formality of a trial and simply rule on that question.
In their motion, the committee had to explain why Meadows’ claims of executive privilege are worthless. In order to make that case, the committee painted a detailed picture of what Meadows was up to in the weeks before the insurrection.
The record shows that Meadows coordinated with a clique of far-right members of Congress and outside operatives to hype election fraud lies and pressure the Department of Justice to validate those lies.
The affirmation of the nation’s top law enforcement agency would then be used to pressure legislatures in states that Biden won into calling themselves back into session to send fake Trump electors in place of the real Biden delegates.
The committee argues in effect that Meadows doesn’t have executive privilege because he was operating either as a campaign staffer or as a criminal, since his attempts to influence the election would constitute blatant violations of the Hatch Act if he acted as a federal official.

New texts reveal Marjorie Taylor Greene’s panicked response on Jan. 6Donald Trump keeps losing his NDA enforcement cases. The wider legal ramifications could be hugeWatch: Nevada parents group rep. escorted out of school board meeting after launching off-the-rails rant
The 26 exhibits attached to the motion include some of the 2,319 text messages from Meadows’ personal phone that the former chief of staff had already handed over, plus excerpts from the testimony of various J6 witnesses, including Trump aide Jason Miller and Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchison.
Indeed, the exhibits are so voluminous that one suspects the committee is taking advantage of the filing to get some shocking details into the public record.
And not a moment too soon.
Hutchison told J6 investigators that Meadows schemed with a clique of far-right representatives that included US Reps. Scott Perry, Jim Jordan and Louie Gohmert. The group’s role was to identify and amplify election fraud conspiracy theories.
Armed with these baseless allegations, the clique badgered Justice Department officials to investigate and validate the claims so that they could be used to pressure state legislatures into overriding the will of the people and sending Trump electors in place of those duly pledged to Biden.
The officials found no evidence of significant fraud in any state, but Trump and his allies kept pushing. “Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” Trump said, according to notes taken by former senior Justice Department official Richard Donoghue and shared with the Times for a story that ran last December.
Donoghue later told the J6 committee that he and his colleagues narrowly talked Trump out of firing the acting attorney general and replacing him with Jeff Clark, a toady who had never tried a criminal case, but who promised to throw the agency’s credibility behind the lies.
Meadows and Clark allegedly planned to use the fraud allegations to pressure the GOP-controlled legislatures of the Biden swing states to call themselves back into session to pick Republican electors.
The exhibits show that Meadows and his merry band of insurrectionists were big promoters of a John Eastman-esque pseudo-legal theory whereby Mike Pence could somehow send the election back to the states.
Gohmert even tried and failed to sue Pence in federal court to force him to act on a version of the Eastman plan to steal the election during the certification ceremony.
This filing sheds light on what the J6 committee has learned.
The good news is that they are getting closer to Trump, uncovering the machinations of high-level elected officials.
The bad news is that compelling members of Congress to testify will be time-consuming and difficult.
The clock is ticking for the committee.

“Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Fox’s Sean Hannity exchanged more than 80 text messages between Election Day 2020 and Joe Biden’s January 2021 inauguration, communications that show Hannity’s evolution from staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump’s election lies to being ‘fed up’ with the ‘lunatics’ hurting Trump’s cause in the days before January 6,” CNN reports.
“Throughout the logs, Hannity both gives advice and asks for direction, blurring the lines between his Fox show, his radio show and the Trump White House.”

Yet....."The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge showed consumer prices were up 6.6 percent in March compared with a year earlier"
Do the math Roger.

Nina Jankowicz, head of the Ministry of Truth.
She is the one that believed and supported The Clinton-Russia Hoax.
She didn't believe that the BIDEN Laptop was real.
Her Online portrait is being scrubbed clean as we speak.
Cost 8.9 % more to live in Bidenomics.
Roger cheered a 4.5 % gain in wages.

Roger, you cheered higher consumer spending, dumbass.
Spending more for the same quantity of goods.
Do the math Roger.
Have you done it?
Alky math:
Yesterday alky had six juice boxes.
Today alky drank two juice boxes.
How many juice boxes does alky have left?
Yesterday alky had 12 'snack size' Snickers bars.
This morning while the nurse was administering alky's meds, the 5th Beatle stole 3 Snickers bars when the alky wasn't looking.
How many Snickers bars does alky have left?

Just like I said two days ago
Florida Republicans’ efforts to strip Disney of its special self-government power over the company’s opposition to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law could backfire amid concerns of a large debt owed to the state.
Florida created Walt Disney World’s special district in 1967, and the state pledged not to alter its status unless all debts owed to the state are paid off — a promise that could place a hurdle in front of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) move to strip the area of its special status.
DeSantis signed a bill on April 21 to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID), a special taxing district that allows Walt Disney World to oversee its property as a quasi-governmental agency.
With the dissolution of the district comes nearly $1 billion in bond debt to Florida, which DeSantis administration officials say taxpayers will not be stuck paying.
The conflict between Disney and the state’s lawmakers has devolved into a legal battle which Reedy Creek claims the state cannot dissolve the district because of the pledge it made to protect the special district’s bondholders.
What does the pledge state?
The district filed a statement with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board on April 21, citing the debt pledge in the Reedy Creek Act as their defense to stopping DeSantis’s move.
The pledge promises that it “will not in any way impair the rights or remedies of the holders, and that it will not modify in any way the exemption from taxation provided in the Reedy Creek Act, until all such bonds together with interest thereon, and all costs and expenses in connection with any act or proceeding by or on behalf of such holders, are fully met and discharged.”
In the statement, the district said they will continue to “explore its options while continuing its present operations” in light of the pledge.
What would happen to the debt?
The bill dissolving RCID does not explicitly say what should happen to its debts, but another state statute outlines that the counties – Orange and Osceola – would assume the district’s debt along with the rest of its assets.
The tax payments are by the homeowners
Student forgiveness?
Someone pays that back Roger. If not the student, then I do... as a taxpayer. The loans are not being "forgiven" the Government is using our tax dollars to pay off the debt for them.
Why is it that nearly all of Democrat's ideas seem to to be buying one demographic's votes with other people's money?

It's been that way since way before we were born and it will be that way until the fucking sun burns out.
When your base consists exclusive of the parasite class and those who wander around with a perpetual guilt complex it really can't be any other way.
My son is servicing some student loan debt. Not a ton like some of these fucking grievance studies majors who've racked up a couple hundred grand and have now embarked on a Starbucks career as a barista, but he has some and it's manageable. He's torn by the prospect of having it dumped on the taxpayer, and not "forgiven" as the left likes to LIE. He feels he signed up for it and he's solely responsible, and doesn't agree at all with having it wiped away. The only good part as far as he's concerned is that the grift won't work on him. Even if he's relieved of the debt he'll never vote for a fucking democrat ever.
I raised him right.
Why are all our posts on this thread now appearing italicized, Ch? And why all the earlier deletions? How do you manage to lose so much control over this blog?
Is it time for you to turn it over to someone who could do a better job of it?
This would be a far better blog if you would insist that people discourse civilly and avoid rank personal attacks including out and out lies.
Then this blog would begin to get new contributors besides the few same old, same old, who appear here.
There were a few in the past who appeared here who were either conservative, independent, or liberal, and discoursed sensibly, but left because this blog has become too much of a personal attack sewer.
