[Happy Spring!  If Trump is indicted and his trial starts going badly toward conviction, would that induce other Repubs not to throw their hats in the ring?  If so, Trump would be the hands down favorite for Republican nominee.  So if the Dems really want to run against Trump, would they not, as a tactic, want throw their case against Trump under the bus?  gjr]

    ‘I Have A PhD!’: Professor Laughed Out Of Room After Getting Pinned On Gender Ideology Question By Swim Champ Riley Gaines
    “Every single rational person knows the answer: men have narrower hips, their skulls are different, they have an extra rib, their femurs are longer, their jaws are different,” Gaines noted. “When he said ‘No,’ it just highlighted that even someone with a PhD was willing to lie to virtue signal or to put off this perception that sex is a social construct, which we know is not the case.”
    Gaines earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky last year in human health sciences and health law. “I took all of the biology courses, I took all of the chemistry courses, all of the organic chemistry courses,” she continued. “But truthfully, all you need is a fifth-grade biology education to understand that men and women are different.”

    “The California Air Resources Board also issued standards requiring that 35% of new vehicles must be entirely electric by 2026, ”
    So how do they do that? That 35% of manufacturers sell EVs? Tesla sells credits to other manufacturers? Each brand sells 35% of their cars as electric, whether or not it makes sense for them (ie. Ferrari and Honda and Dodge are different things)? Each manufacturer sells 35% of their cars as electric (ie. split between brands)? What about cases where a manufacturer is partly owned by another, how does that work? Can you bring in a 1 month old car from out of state?
    Jeez louise. One more perfect example of how fucked up a world a bunch of Leftists doing PowerPoint magic in a meeting room can make everything. Don’t like something, even physics? Simply outlaw it and hope like hell someone comes up with alternative.
    I’m thinking they should just outlaw new cars. That, at least, is a definable law. You get to avoid the pollution from manufacture. Everyone can walk to work. Horses not allowed because the poop will mess up mountain bikes.

    The propaganda ministry hard at work –
    CBS News executives have allegedly barred staffers from using the word “transgender” to describe the Nashville shooter, despite police confirming that the shooter identified as such, according to a memo obtained by the New York Post.
    “The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News,” the network’s executives said in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Post. “As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit.”
    Soon after the shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School on Monday, in which three students and three adults were shot and killed, police stated that 28-year-old Audrey Hale, who was herself killed by police during the attack, identified as transgender — meaning Hale allegedly believed she was a man.
    Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, the executive vice president of newsgathering, and Claudia Milne, the senior vice president of standards, allegedly announced the directives in a Tuesday morning editorial call, The Post reported, citing “sources close to the Tiffany Network.”
    “Right now we advise saying: POLICE IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT AS A 28-YEAR-OLD AUDREY HALE, WHO [sic] THEY SHOT AND KILLED AT THE SCENE,” the memo allegedly said. “And move on to focus on other important points of the investigation, community and solutions.”
    Sources allegedly told the publication that many CBS News journalists were upset by the directive, in light of the fact that police confirmed Hale was transgender and “that her identity may be relevant to the motive,” according to the report.
    “This is absurd because the police identified Hale as transgender,” a CBS insider allegedly told the publication. “If the cops didn’t address it, maybe you could avoid it, but withholding information is not journalism.”
    According to Fox News, Grabian transcripts show that CBS Evening News included police confirmation of Hale’s transgender identity during a Monday broadcast, but then made no mention of her identifying as transgender on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    So why does the left protect a nazi collaborator could it be their hate for jews? Either way he is massively funding the degradation of law and order in the US and his minions are complicit in protecting criminals and screwing victims across the country. –
    Horthy, the leader of Hungary for most of WW2, had been an ally of Nazi Germany, but once he saw which way the war was headed, tried to reach a deal with the allies. In response, Hitler occupied Hungary, removed Horthy, and had him replaced with Sztójay. While Hungarian Jews had been persecuted under Horthy, the Holocaust really began in Hungary under Sztójay. An official of a government under Sztójay would qualify under II, III and IV of the Holtzman Amendment.
    Soros told Adam Smith’s Money World, a PBS series, “I actually went with him and we took possession of these large estates.”
    When Soros originally made these admissions in the nineties, there was little interest in him outside the financial world. As he began using his massive fortune to buy elections, and fund lefty groups hostile to America, Europe, and Israel, there was renewed interest in his wartime activities. His political allies in the media have vociferously condemned any mention of his collaboration and have worked to rewrite history, claiming that these admissions by Soros were poorly worded or taken out of context.
    Innumerable fact checks have claimed that Soros was only a frightened little boy hiding out for his life.
    These fact checks ignore the simple fact that Soros was not “hiding” by going off to participate in the confiscation of the estate of a Jewish industrialist. Hiding out meant staying out of sight. Soros never actually stayed out of sight while with the Nazi collaborator, he hiked and chatted with friends.
    Why did George Soros actually go to the Kornfeld estate?
    Tivadar Soros, the billionaire’s father, revealed that, “The following week the kind-hearted Baufluss, in an effort to cheer the unhappy lad up, took him off with him to the provinces. At the time he was working in Transdanubia, west of Budapest, on the model estate of a Jewish aristocrat, Baron Moric Kornfeld. There they were wined and dined by what was left of the staff. George also met several other ministry officials, who immediately took a liking to the young man, the alleged godson of Mr Baufluss. He even helped with the inventory. Surrounded by good company, he quickly regained his spirits.”
    Soros did not go to the Kornfeld estate to hide out, but because a Nazi collaborator paid by the Soros family thought that it would cheer him up. He was not a frightened child. And he was not hiding out. Instead, he voluntarily went to the worst possible place that an actual Jew hiding out could possibly be, hanging out with officials dispatched to identify and persecute Jews, because he was having fun.
    This matches Soros’ description elsewhere of the period as the “most exciting time of my life”.
    Or as he stated elsewhere, “1944 was the happiest year of my life. This is a strange, almost offensive thing to say because 1944 was the year of the Holocaust, but it is true.”
    The fact checks claiming that George Soros was a teenager who only did what he had to are false. The account by his father and the circumstances of his collaboration show that he did it for fun.
    The claims that Soros collaborated because he was hiding out were disproven by his father’s words.
    Soros was a teenager at the time. But the Holtzman Amendment does not set an age limit. And, as an adult, Soros has remained unrepentant, expressing a lack of guilt in the 60 Minutes interview.
    There might be a debate about whether a teenager should be punished for his actions during the war. But no one is putting Soros on trial. Courts have held that deportation is not a punishment. As an unrepentant adult, he is eligible to be deported from the United States for his voluntary collaboration in the persecution of Jews because his past renders him inadmissible to remain on American soil.

    “If you can be a millionaire, why can’t Mr. Schultz and other CEOs be millionaires and be honest too?” Mullin asked Sanders during the hearing.
    “That’s a lie,” the independent responded.
    After the back and forth debate Wednesday, Mullin called out Sanders again and claimed he “demonizes people.”
    “He’s demonizing all CEOs for being millionaires. He talks about equality. And here’s a guy that has been nothing but in public office,” Mullin told Jimmy Falia on Fox Across America Thursday. “He draws a pension from being a mayor, a lifelong pension, to the point to where when he passes away, his wife’s able to get the full pension too, every month. He’s been in office up here for 27, 28 years. And since that time, he’s been able to accumulate a wealth of over $8 million.”
    “And his wife’s a social worker, a professional social worker. So the last time I checked, both of them have done nothing but made money off of taxpayers, which is perfectly okay… But his hypocrisy runs wild. And he demonizes people,” the senator continued.

    TRU DAT –
    Burry sees the “woke mind virus” as the new insider threat.
    “My son is being taught in college that men in sport are only stronger/faster/hit harder/kick harder etc because of cultural reasons. That nature, biology and male hormones have nothing to do with it. This has got to stop somewhere,” Burry, who is the founder of hedge fund Scion Asset Management, lambasted on Twitter on Apr. 1.
    It all started with tweets from journalist Ashlee Vance denouncing the degradation of the city and calling on the guilt of politicians who do nothing to turn things around.
    “Had a 20-minute walk down Market Street with a friend who remarked, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this,’ as his head was on a swivel the entire time. I love SF. What the city
    He continued: ‘Several pockets of 20 to 30 people all off their heads. A number of them with pants barely on. Zombies. The walking dead. Cops observing the proceedings from 100 feet away.”
    “This isn’t tolerance. It’s giving up. The city’s leaders should not be able to sleep with their shame.”
    You could literally film a Walking Dead episode unedited in downtown SF,“ the billionaire said, referring to the hit post-apocalyptic horror TV drama. “This is where San Francisco politics leads and Twitter was exporting this self-destructive mind virus to the world.”
    He then went after other tech companies, accusing them of spreading the progressive agenda across the world.
    “With some exceptions, other tech companies are still doing so. Evil in guise of good,” Musk blasted out.
    Burry shares this opinion and immediately made it known by commenting on Musk’s statements. The investor shared his last experience in San Francisco, by recounting a scene which suggests that law and order do not reign in the city.
    “This was my experience in San Francisco recently. As soon as I parked, I saw thieves casing the car behind me, and moved on,” Burry narrated. “The thieves were essentially the only people on the street for blocks. But Elon, Twitter is still banning conservatives for objecting to the mind virus.”
    Public exasperation led to the recall of three progressive members of the San Francisco Board of Education last year. The district attorney was also ousted.

    If the woke bros at SVB did not like the answer they just changed the risk program –

    Flush with cash from a booming tech industry, Silicon Valley Bank executives embarked on a strategy in 2020 to juice profits that quickly triggered an internal alarm.
    In buying longer-term investments that paid more interest, SVB had fallen out of compliance with a key risk metric. An internal model showed that higher interest rates could have a devastating impact on the bank’s future earnings, according to two former employees familiar with the modeling who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe confidential deliberations.
    Instead of heeding that warning – and over the concerns of some staffers – SVB executives simply changed the model’s assumptions, according to the former employees and securities filings. The tweaks, which have not been previously reported, initially predicted that rising interest rates would have minimal impact.

    It is sad to see so many MAGA going down the rabbit hole on a daily basis.
    From Bill’s crackpot conspiracy theory YouTube videos, to Large Marge Taylor Green’s mental crockpot stew of comments on national TV about Biden being some sort of a child abuser or whatnot when she’s not talking about Jewish space lasers.
    From Lauren Boebert’s hilarious gotcha moment backfire by declaring that Washington DC had made public urination legal.
    The hits just keep on coming!
    Let the snarky comments from all the nominal “Independents” begin!
    “The three officials said China could have gathered much more intelligence from sensitive sites if not for the administration’s efforts to move around potential targets and obscure the balloon’s ability to pick up their electronic signals by stopping them from broadcasting or emitting signals.
    The Defense Department directed NBC News to comments senior officials made in February that the balloon had “limited additive value” for intelligence collection by the Chinese government “over and above what [China] is likely able to collect through things like satellites in low earth orbit.”
    On Monday, a Defense Department spokesperson reiterated that any intelligence collected had “limited additive value” for China and said she could not confirm that the balloon had transmitted any information back to China in “real time.”
    National Security Council spokesperson Kirby John declined to answer questions Monday afternoon about what kind of electronic signals or communications the balloon could have accessed.”

    If you don’t like the snarky comments maybe you’d be happier around your fellow soft heads!? It’s not like your area isn’t stuffed full with them.

    So little Missy has to now admit that Biden allowed a CCP spy balloon to wander around our military installations and obtain info.
    “National Security Council spokesperson Kirby John declined to answer questions Monday afternoon about what kind of electronic signals or communications the balloon could have accessed.”
    Of course they didn’t want to answer questions.
    Gotta love how they try to minimize what just happened by claiming that it could only have “limited value” to the Chi-Coms.
    All manner of spying has limited value.
    But don’t worry – the “big Guy” got his 10%!
