I dunno. Chelsea Clinton is the heir to the political establishment. Her mommie got $700,000 for giving 45 minute speeches to Goldman Sacks and JPMorgan Chase, and promised on live TV during a debate with Bernie to release the transcripts.
Chelsea went from college directly to a $700,000/year gig at NBC News. Because she has no talent or like her momma, no charm….so she blew that one. Can’t transmit what you don’t have.
Chelsea Clinton taking about grifters is one for the record books. Unfortunately Chelsea is not the exception on the Left, but the rule for grifters.

Oh ya best green practices and famed designer with a vapid actor virtue signaling then ducking responsibility but the jig is up. Same folks who want to take away your energy and nat gas. Sounds like rennette senums worm farm crew. ROFLOL –
Located in New Orleans’ historically Black and low-income Lower Ninth Ward, this cluster of affordable homes built between 2008 and 2015 was unusual for several reasons. Notably, these residences were sold, rather than rented to their occupants.
The architects who created these homes also tried to make them green and sustainable following a “cradle-to-cradle” philosophy that centers around the use of safe and reusable materials, clean water and renewable energy. All the homes had solar panels and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems
The nonprofit housing developer says its mission is to “improve the design and performance of affordable housing” and to “share best practices associated with the construction of such homes.”
Although some of these structures are not yet a decade old, my data shows that only six remain in reasonably good shape. Most either have had partial repairs or have been completely renovated because of structural problems. Two were demolished because of severe mold problems.
Many of the houses lacked ordinary, essential features such as rain gutters, overhangs, waterproof painting or covered beams – all of which are necessary to withstand New Orleans’ subtropical climate and heavy rainfall.
Pitt’s lawyers argued that he could not be sued over the housing development’s failings, but a judge ruled in 2019 that the movie star would remain a defendant because of his role as Make It Right’s founder and chief fundraiser.
Only eight months after she moved in, Hanna recounted to me, her home “was completely in shambles.” Its flat roof could not hold up in the heavy rains of New Orleans, causing massive water intrusion and subsequent termite infestation and mold.

“In the American Rescue Plan, there was additional funding to support local cops programs, something that every single Republican voted against,” Psaki said during a White House press conference Monday. “I said in that interview that I know they don’t like it when we call that out. I’m going to keep calling that out because that’s a fact.”
CALIFORNIA FIREFIGHTER SHOT AND KILLED WHILE BATTLING DUMPSTER FIRE
The Washington Post Fact Checker gave that claim “three pinocchios” last summer, pointing out that the $350 million in state and local aid allotted by the American Rescue Plan was earmarked for a “variety of budget-plugging purposes” and “lawmakers had no guarantee that police would get a slice of the pie.”
According to a Fox Business poll last month, 77% of registered voters said they are “extremely” or “very” concerned about higher crime rates, the second most pressing issue for Americans after inflation.
Yoes, the Fraternal Order of Police president, put some blame for rising crime rates on “agenda-driven prosecutors who have gone rogue.”
“Many of them are refusing to bring charges against so-called ‘low-level’ or ‘nonviolent’ offenders,” Yoes said. “Under their leadership, which has been abhorrent in many cases, many violent offenders don’t stay in jail—they’re back on the streets and free to commit more crimes.”

A state senator in Georgia is requesting an investigation into a county school official amid controversy surrounding her comments about White people and the district’s indication that one of its classes utilized critical race theory (CRT).
Sent Monday, Republican Sen. Burt Jones’ letter comes after video showed Dr. Tarece Johnson, the recently elected chair of Gwinnett County Board of Education, calling for an end to “anti-Black capitalism” and describing White people as “socialized racists.”
Heritage Action, a conservative think tank, also obtained an audit syllabus promoting CRT for an AP Language and AP Research combination class within Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). It reads: “Students will bridge the skills from AP Language to AP Research, analyzing the value of using different lenses in social criticism (Critical Race Theory, Feminist, Marxist, Psychoanalytic) to aid their analysis across issues, and the class will discuss how these perspectives apply to the different methods used by research fields.”

Schools across America implement BLM Week of Action that calls for ‘disruption of Western nuclear family’
Week of action curriculum centers itself around 13 ‘Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles
Additionally, the week of action curriculum centers itself around the 13 “Black Lives Matter Guiding Principles,” which include concepts such as “Black Villages” and “Globalism.”
Black Villages is the disruption of Western nuclear family dynamics and a return to the ‘collective village’ that takes care of each other,” the starter kit reads. “Globalism is our ability to see how we are impacted or privileged within the Black global family that exists across the world in different regions.”
“Under the cover of a week of action, called ‘Black Lives Matter at School,’ children as young as five years old are being trained how to be political activists,” Nomani continued. “What we are witnessing is state-sponsored political indoctrination, using coloring books, downloadable slide shows and contests to teach a next generation ‘social justice activism,’ in the program’s own words.”
“We need radicalization out of schools, especially as children struggle with learning loss from the pandemic, and reading, writing and arithmetic back in schools,”

I’ve heard of the first, but just think of him as an elderly professional harmonist. As usual, pop music becomes terra incognita after some year or the other for most people.
Given how mundane the “outrageous” Rogan interviews are, and he really is a good interviewer, this is more a test run than anything. Next up will be attacks on substack, already initiated by famous mediocrity Chelsea Clinton. Controlling media at all levels is a Crazytown imperative.
It seems to me that the real contest will be between the free market, which will sell to anyone, and centralized control of media and communications. Can the media and internet oligopolies/monopolies hang tough and follow the orders of urban activists, including executives and employees, or will someone always break through to sell units to the deplorables? Normally I’d bet on the free market, but there’s a whole lot of single points of control in pushing bytes or radio to your house.

It seems to me that it’s a real eye-opener to people how little music rights really end up being worth, at least in most cases. ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ can always be used to sell soap to the elderly, at least for a few more years. Even with perpetual copyright thanks to Disney & Co., the value is bound to drop over time.
Also, the con game of changing physical formats every decade or two is now over.
Most of it is fungible and prices were high because of control of distribution. Once you have a near-infinite amount of the stuff online and there are multiple online services, it becomes a lot more like selling oil or corn.
