Supreme Court Rejects Appeal For Overturned
Conviction In Bill Cosby Case
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/7/2022 4:48:46 PM
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday against an appeal concerning Bill Cosby’s overturned conviction in 2021 involving a sexual assault conviction. The decision left in place a 4-3 ruling by Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court that ruled Cosby’s 2018 conviction violated his due process rights. Cosby was released in June following the overturned decision. The Pennsylvania ruling was appealed to the Supreme Court in November by Montgomery County’s district attorney regarding a case reaching back to 2005. The appeal to the Supreme Court emphasized the due process clause: “Where a prosecutor publicly announces that he will not file criminal charges based on lack of evidence,

Hunter Biden’s laptop repairman spoke out recently on damages he’s suffered since the days leading up to the 2020 election, including harassment and financial ruin.
John Paul Mac Isaac was forced to close his shop in Wilmington, DE, and flee to reside with his family in Lakewood, CO just days after the election, he told the New York Post. “I was getting a lot of death threats,” Mac Isaac reported. “I had to have a Wilmington trooper parked in front of my shop all the time.”
Mac Isaac was under severe scrutiny for alerting the FBI that he was in possession of Biden’s laptop since April 2019
A day after the Florida Senate triggered leftists by passing the Parental Rights in Education bill, the members of the Florida House followed suit by passing their own triggering bill.
Passed in the House on Wednesday, S.B. 524 will create a “15-person Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Department of State” to essentially serve as an election police unit, according to Florida Politics.
The new office will reportedly investigate voter fraud complaints, increase “the penalties on organizations that violate election registration laws from $1,000 to $50,000” and ask “supervisors of elections to maintain voter roll lists annually instead of every two years.”
President Joe Biden recently received the honor of having an extinct type of squid named after him.
Paleontologists have long discovered various prehistoric remains in Montana. Usually, dinosaur bones get the limelight, but the truth is all manner of creatures are discovered in the Treasure State, which has been underwater at various points in its history.
One such sea creature was unearthed in the Bear Gulch limestone formation in 1988, and from there was donated to Canada’s Royal Ontario Museum, apparently without anyone taking a second glance at it. More recently, Christopher Whalen, a paleontologist
With most of the rest of the planet eliminating the indoor mask requirement, why is the Biden administration extending the mandate to wear masks on airplanes and trains until April 18?
There’s stupid. There’s silly. And then there’s the federal government’s mask requirement on public transit.
Masks have contributed in no small way to the spike in “unruly” passenger complaints from airlines. It’s usually started by some busybody who claims someone isn’t wearing their mask correctly or took it off. What follows usually isn’t very pretty.
Why is this even an issue after the CDC said that cloth masks are not effective in stopping the spread of the coronavirus?

A long-haul trucker took to TikTok this week to explain fuel prices in terms every American can understand: “What are y’all gonna do next month when your gallon of milk costs $11?”
Spend a lot more money on milk.
Everything else, too.

In my small town of Monument, Colo., we’re feeling the squeeze even though gas and diesel prices are always below the national average.
I drive a diesel SUV, so that’s the price I follow most closely.
The nearest station that was selling diesel for $4.05 on Saturday was selling it for $4.65 on Sunday
The capacity for stupid, pointless, gestures by liberals demonstrating that they “stand up for Ukraine” or “speak truth to Putin” has gotten to the point where even my Pepto-Bismal can’t keep me from retching up my lunch.
Indeed, the “protests” are more a statement of solidarity than anything meaningful. But what makes me sick to my stomach is that the Western protesters can’t imagine they’re taking this protest against Putin beyond reason so that the ludicrous lengths to which they are going to signal their virtue might appear very odd and disturbing to ordinary people.

"Well, you all imagined it," Vice President Kamala Harris commented during a so-called clean-transit event, where she appeared with her fellow tautologist, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. "That's why we're here today -- because we have the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been, and then to make the possible actually happen."
When Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete get together, it's Platitudicon. As it was this week, when, as the reality of imminent historic gas price spikes was hitting Americans, the duo spent the day promoting electric cars, the Green New Deal and the Environmental Protection Agency's soon-to-be-tightened emissions standards.
When it comes to energy,
Yes, it's satisfactory until you think about what she said. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is truly the best team player you could ask for in these situations. You can't polish a tyrd, but she'll try. She might even try to add a coat of turtle wax to it. The tyrd is Joe Biden and his agenda, which has set the Democrats on fire for the 2022 midterms. There's no relief in sight. There is no Build Back Better. It's dead. The filibuster isn't changing. The Democrats' bill that would tilt all elections in their favor, which is disguised as a "voting rights" bill, is dead as well.
The Autocracy of the Gender Benders

Tom Bevan at RealClearPolitics shared on Twitter a local horror story from the Chicago area. His fifth grader came home from school with a vocabulary assignment in science class. The words included "transgender," cisgender," "nonbinary" and "consent."
The last word carries the most irony -- because the educational elite in this country isn't interested in the consent of the governed. Resistance to LGBT indoctrination in our public grade schools is not recognized as part of a democratic, governing process. Just like the cause of critical race theory, the parents are not simply irrelevant; they are seen as an impediment to essential progress.
The other words sound ridiculous in a science class.
A completely new or alternative meaning to don’t ask, don’t tell might perhaps now be in effect in a Dallas-area school district.
Some teachers or other employees (a.k.a. guardians) are allowed to have guns on campus in the 1,100-student Grand Saline Independent School District under a concealed carry program the school board calls the Guardian Plan that is just in week two of implementation. It is designed to provide a safe and secure environment for students, as the superintendent outlined in a Facebook post.
“No one knows which teachers or staff members are armed — and [Superintendent Micah] Lewis says that’s intentional.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been getting trolled across social media for bragging about telling Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that women’s tennis icon and feminist activist Billie Jean King sends her regards.
“When I spoke to President Zelensky, I said, Billie Jean King sends you her regards,” Pelosi told reporters on Wednesday. [Video]
The tennis star had visited the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX, a federal civil rights law passed in 1972 that “prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or other education program that receives funding from the federal government.”
The national average price for diesel fuel on Wednesday reached an all-time record high, impacting 3.5 million American truckers throughout the nation.
Rising 84 cents in one week, Wednesday’s national average hit $4.883, up 13 cents overnight, according to AAA.
Diesel transports about 70 percent of the nation’s freight tonnage, as just about all highway trucks are fueled by diesel engines, according to Diesel Technology Forum. About 3.5 million truck drivers and 711,000 trucking companies rely on diesel.
The record-high diesel prices will likely increase the cost of everyday products, such as clothing, produce, paper products, building materials, and vehicles.
The impact on everyday items will also increase the record-high inflation.

The year 2022 is shaping up to be a good year for the electoral prospects of the loyal opposition. Two years after losing the presidency — and then watching helplessly as Donald Trump’s petulance poisoned the Republican effort to win in Georgia and keep control of the Senate — the GOP is suddenly poised for a comeback in Congress. Inflation and rising gas prices, frustration with liberal political leaders who clung to COVID-19 restrictions well past their expiration date, and concerns about how the administration is handling the twin threats of Russia and China (to say nothing

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under the Obama and Trump administrations, said on Friday that Democrat President Joe Biden needed to immediately resign to spare putting the country through more suffering because Biden is not mentally fit to be president. “Biden doesn’t know what’s going on with Ukraine,” Jackson tweeted. “He doesn’t know what’s going on with ANYTHING! He’s not cognitively capable of leading. He needs to RESIGN before our country suffers any more.” (Tweet)

CNN continues to undergo massive changes coinciding with AT&T’s corporate handoff to new owner Discovery and the ouster of former company president Jeff Zucker. Zucker left, Chris Cuomo left, and sundry employees did the same as disgusting allegations of pedophilia came to light.
Ratings have been in a freefall ever since Brandon was inaugurated and over-the-top, fake news about Donald Trump couldn’t be manufactured for its unthinking viewership anymore. Covid panic porn has likewise lost its luster. So, in a battle for survival, the “news” network’s owners are realizing that simply making up hysteria after hysteria might not be a viable long-term plan.
Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said he did not believe Donald Trump would win a 2022 presidential election bid because he's petty and divisive, and that his former boss is not his pick for commander-in-chief. Barr, 71, criticized the former president during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday, admitting that he knew Trump was going to lose in 2020 because of his temper. 'He's not my idea of a president,' Barr said. 'I felt he was going to lose the election because he was not controlling himself.
Jussie Smollett, who faked a hate crime against himself in Chicago, was sentenced Thursday. Smollett was found guilty back in December, after he conspired with two men to make it seem as if Trump supporters had attacked him and tied a noose around his neck at 2:00 AM, in the middle of a polar vortex.
While he received an initial outpouring of support, including from Vice President Kamala Harris, it quickly became apparent that his story wasn’t adding up. Why was he out after midnight getting a sandwich in sub-zero temperatures? Why didn’t he call the police right away? Why did he leave the noose on until police got there?
President Joe Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday that any attack against NATO could spark World War III.The president spoke about the conflict at a House Democrat retreat in Philadelphia, vowing again to defend “every inch” of NATO territory from Putin and the Russians.
“Granted, if we respond, it is World War III, but we have a sacred obligation,” he said to his fellow Democrats.Biden reminded Putin he had deployed 12,000 American forces to NATO countries on the Eastern front to protect them.But Biden also warned fellow Democrats from urging on military action in Ukraine
President Joe Biden warned lawmakers attending the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference Friday in Philadelphia that he'll have far less power next year if the Democrats lose Congress.'This off-year election, in my view, may be the most important off-year election in modern history. Because we know what happens, we know the fundamental change that shifts if we lose the House and Senate,' Biden told House Democrats. 'The only thing I'll have then is a veto pen.'Precedent and polling make Republicans look poised to take back control of the House, and possibly the Senate too,
President Joe Biden announced on Friday he will revoke Russia's 'most favored nation' trade status over its invasion of Ukraine, another step in the series of harsh economic sanctions he and U.S. allies have imposed on Moscow.
And he vowed Russian President Vladimir Putin would pay a 'severe price' if he uses chemical weapons in the Ukraine and said U.S. troops would not join the fight as not to provoke World War III.
Biden announced Russia's change in status of a trade partner in lockstep with the fellow G7 nations to make it an even heavier burden on Moscow to carry. The move will also deny Russia the ability to borrow money
The flu shot used during the 2021 to 2022 virus season was a poor match and did little to prevent circulation, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report finds. Researchers found that the vaccine only reduced the number of mild influenza by 16 percent, which they do not consider statistically significant. The flu strain that struck America this year was of the H3N2 strain, one of the more dangerous versions of the virus, and the shot was not tailored to the specific version of the virus that ended up emerging. Experts had warned of a brutal flu season this year for months leading up to it,

The co-hosts of ABC's liberal daytime talk show "The View" complained Friday the criticism leveled against Vice President Kamala Harris over her performance while in Europe has been rated in racism and misogyny. (Snip) After a reporter asked a question about Ukrainian refugees, Harris and Duda appeared confused about who would answer the question, leading to Harris laughing while saying, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Duda then offered to respond first and began speaking. Harris was ripped by critics following the exchange, accusing her of looking to Duda for help answering the question and slamming her for

Earlier today Steve noted a Wall Street Journal poll that contains good news for Republicans and bad news for Democrats. There is an additional feature of that poll that deserves notice, as highlighted in the Journal’s article about it:
The survey also found Republicans making gains among minority groups. By 9 percentage points, Hispanic voters in the new poll said they would back a Republican candidate for Congress over a Democrat. The two parties had been tied among Hispanic voters in the Journal’s survey in November.
Democratic margins also eroded among Black voters, who favored a Democrat for Congress by 35 percentage points in the new survey, down from 56 points in November.
A suspect believed to be connected to the group of spring breakers who overdosed on cocaine laced with fentanyl was arrested in Florida, police confirmed to WSVN Friday night. Police in Wilton Manors, a city located in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area, did not release the suspect's name or indicate their connection to the six West Point cadets who were hospitalized Thursday after overdosing on the drug. At least two of the students were football players at the military academy, located in New York. A seventh individual, only identified as a woman, was later taken to the hospital and treated, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
