Every few months, another viral outrage story explodes across social media, and the script is almost always the same.A shocking claim, a “racist” angle, followed by a flood of headlines, a GoFundMe that fills up overnight, and before anyone has time to sort out what actually happened, the accused is already branded for life. The facts usually catch up later, and we discover the whole thing was a hoax. But the damage to the victim is already done.

This is the result of us becoming a grievance society. Something happens to me I don't like. I assign it to the fact that I belong to some "protected" class. The protection can extend to being a part of a minority group in the situation. The cause of what happened is now assigned as because of my being part of the the special class. This may be true or it may not but you should have to prove it was the motivation for what happened. Often that is not the case but many observers skip over the last requirement, that group membership was the cause. That's not fair and it's not healthy. When discrimination is assumed instead of proven, it weakens the whole structure that protects against real discrimination.

Being awarded millions and COLLECTING millions are two different things. And the demographics do not seem to be much in the kid's favor... sorry to say.

I missed the part where the lawyer has to pay up. Without that, where will the award come from? The only benefit for Asher is likely to be his reputation. His bank account seems poised to get only fumes.

Good. The only way to stop this nonsense is to fight back and hit them in their wallets. Put a lien on her assets and take them one at a time. She comes into some money, get that as well.

Somewhat off topic, but here during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, float riders hang trinkets, stuffed animals, black and white Barbie dolls, etc with beads around them to attach to the parade float for easy access to toss to parade goers. A black mother complained because her daughter caught a black doll that had been hung with beads around her neck, which made the news continuously here. Community leaders fell all over themselves saying ‘Oh the horror’ and the kid and her mother received all sorts of special treatment after that. A black leader even had the nerve to say it was ok for white Barbie dolls to be hung with beads, but not black ones. The mother would probably have complained had her daughter not been singled out to catch such a trinket. This is so absurd.

FTA: Remember when Summer Smith alleged in 2021 that her son was “tortured” by white middle schoolers who shot him with a BB gun and made him drink urine? Well, a Judge just ruled that the entire thing was a HOAX. The media and leftist organizations slandered young boys for this FAKE “racially-motivated hate crime.” Summers must now pay one of the boys $3.2 MILLION in damages for LYING about him. Where's the $3.2 million going to come from? Not the defendant.

9, It never gets paid. The world is full of people with cash judgments that will never ever happen. And that is why people with rather high net worth should cover their butts with umbrella policies and high liability on their various insurances. When someone CAN pay... that is blood in the water.

The aggrieved should have simply demanded a public apology. Lay juries have no idea of the value of the dollar and frequently give out OPM (other people's money) without realizing that it really comes out of their own pockets - if at all as others have pointed out.

As Mark Twain said, "A Lie travels around the World while the Truth is putting on it's Shoes." I have read several stories on this. My understanding is that it was a bunch of young teen boys, 8th - to-10th grade or so. It was cold weather, and everyone was wearing a heavy coat. They went hunting for something -I forget what- with BB guns. As the did not see any of what they were hunting, they got bored and they ALL took turns shooting each other with the BB guns. Everyone shot the BB guns, everyone was a target. No-one was hurt. Later, some -I do not know the numbers- peed in a cup and offered it to some of the other boys to see if they could get them to drink it. Some smelled it, no-one actually drank it. Several of the boys, not just the black kid. The mom of the one black kid heard about it and went nuts, hired a lawyer, made a big fuss, called the other boys -particularly the white kid in this story- a RACIST BULLY, sued him, got the Media and social media involved, the whole works. The white kid sued the mom and her lawyer for emotional distress etc., and the jury sided with the white kid. The MOM gets to pay 1.5 Million$, AND The LAWYER also gets to pay 1.5 Million$. That's my recollection from reading the previous stories on this.  I hope that after having to make this payout, the lawyer's insurance company will 'put out the word' and put the damper on some of this legal nonsense.

Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe ordered the retraction of 19 intelligence products following an independent review that found the documents failed to meet regulatory standards of tradecraft and quality, the agency announced Friday. Redacted versions of three documents obtained by The Federalist showed that the analyses promoted left-wing ideology, took sides on domestic political disagreements in foreign countries, fell outside of the CIA’s official role, and were sourced to left-wing media, nongovernmental organizations, and nonprofit groups. This commitment to advancing leftist activism appears to span at least three presidential administrations beginning in 2015.

According to the Washington DC spin, the various EU energy ministers changed clean energy justification of ‘climate change’ during the International Energy Agency (IEA) summit because they were concerned the U.S. would pull out of the IEA group. The IEA shifted to green energy as a security priority, no longer concerned with climate change.However, given the situation with European energy costs and the severe problems they are having within their collective and individual economies, what they consider “national security” appears to be their need to control public outrage at the green energy consequences. Affordable or ‘cheap’ energy production is directly linked to the underlying economy.

Ian Choudri, 57, chief executive of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, was arrested on February 4 on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic battery. The arrest came just one day after Choudri appeared alongside Governor Gavin Newsom to mark the completion of the Southern Railhead facility in Kern County, a major milestone for the long-delayed high-speed rail project.

President Trump reacts to the Supreme Court ruling with much the same perspective of many MAGA supporters.

Sometimes politicians accidentally say their innermost thoughts out loud. It is rarely smart. But sometimes it is strategic. It sends a signal to their voters: elect us, and we will crush MAGA.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas challenged an interpretation made by Justice Neil Gorsuch as the two conservatives landed on opposite sides of a major decision on President Donald Trump’s tariff authority. (snip)Gorsuch discussed two early congressional debates in his concurring opinion to show rejections of expanding presidential power in early U.S. history.(snip)Thomas disagreed with Gorsuch’s interpretation of early history, writing, “Justice Gorsuch’s interpretation of two 'early congressional debates,’... is thus difficult to reconcile with what early Congresses actually did.” He continued: “Since the 1790s, Congress has consistently delegated to the President power over foreign commerce, including the power to impose duties on imports."

The Republican National Committee brought a lawsuit Wednesday to stop what the organization describes as an unconstitutional last-minute power grab by Virginia Democrats. Filing a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, the RNC asked the court to block the implementation of the proposed constitutional amendment.

Forlesia Cook, a grandmother who lost her grandson to violence, delivered a brief and powerful testimonial supporting President Trump. Many naysayers, beyond just the DHS security issues, would be well-served to listen to her advice. Mrs Cook spoke during a Black History Month reception at the White House, pushing back on claims that President Trump is racist. As noted by this passionate grandma, President Trump gave her a voice when others ignored her. Cook’s 22-year-old grandson, Marty William McMillan Jr., was brutally murdered in cold blood in 2017 after meeting someone online. He left home to meet a woman he connected with on the Plenty of Fish dating app.

Few have had as profound an effect on modern scientific understanding as Sir Isaac Newton. Many people are familiar with the story of how a falling apple first inspired Newton to investigate the force that would come to be known as gravity, and as he later concluded in his seminal scientific treatise, “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,” it is this same force that pulls a fruit to ground that keeps the planets in orbit. While Newton undoubtedly possessed a keen sense of observation and an insatiable curiosity that enabled him to make some of the most influential mathematical and scientific discoveries in recorded history, his prolific notes and writings—especially the vast

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has never been one to show good judgement. When he’s not getting caught conducting “personal business” on a staff Zoom call, he’s accidentally admitting that there’s an ongoing leftist-led judicial coup designed to stymie President Trump’s agenda. The serial self-pleasurer let the proverbial cat out of the bag in his Monday opinion column for The New York Times. Titled, “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” the article purports to roll out a blueprint for countering conservative appointments of originalist judges to the bench but inadvertently discloses the existence of leftists’ efforts to weaponize the judicial system against Trump.

You can’t say we didn’t warn New York what was going to happen if it elected Zohran Mamdani, but I gotta say, I don’t think anyone predicted it would start collapsing so quickly. But, alas, it has. That socialist utopia that Mamdani was supposed to deliver has instead turned into a slow-motion fiscal catastrophe a mere two months in — and even the liberal media is starting to notice. Mamdani unveiled a $127 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 this week — a staggering $5 billion increase over the prior year. But what's $5 billion between socialists, right? To put that into perspective, Mamdani’s proposed budget is

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) demanded that President Donald Trump give the people of the state a total of $8.6 billion in refunds after the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s global tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In a letter addressed to Trump that Pritzker posted to X, Pritzker described Trump’s tariffs as having “wreaked havoc on farmers,” having “enraged our allies,” and increased the cost of groceries. Pritzker explained that he was demanding “a refund of $1,700 for every family” in the state, and that because there were roughly 5,105,448 households in the state, the total came to $8,679,261,600. “Your tariffs wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies,

Don’t worry: Friday’s Supreme Court decision limiting some of President Donald Trump’s tariff powers won’t derail his larger, vital project of rebalancing US trade relations, boosting US industry and safeguarding US supply chains — nor should it. Yes, he’ll need to find other ways (more permanent and legally airtight) to pursue those goals, but the high court’s ruling against his across-the-board tariffs illegal also made it clear he has many such tools at his disposal — including other tariff powers. Even many of his allies warned that imposing import duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was legally dubious;

Few things in Washington, D.C., generate as much as excitement and intrigue as a Supreme Court confirmation showdown. For decades, since the eponymous "borking" of then-Supreme Court nominee Bob Bork in 1987, political battles surrounding the membership of the nation's high court have been among the most contentious and raucous of Beltway affairs. Which is why it's rather curious that very few outside the most fervid of court-watchers seem to be discussing the distinct possibility that there could be one or two Supreme Court vacancies after the current term ends this summer.
What Does ‘America First’ Mean in Iran? 12 replies

The United States government (USG) should not go to war with Iran. Iran’s nuclear program is not a meaningful threat to the United States. How Iran is governed, how its government treats its people, and who the Iranians trade with is none of our business. A genuinely America First strategy toward Iran would mean ignoring the country and the Middle East as a whole. The United States government has no core interests on the Asian landmass. The USG should lift all trade sanctions on the Iranian regime, grant diplomatic recognition to whatever regime is currently in power there, and cease efforts to regulate or manage the Iranian nuclear program.

Democrats are losing their minds because I made a simple statement—given a choice between our dogs and those who would ban them, the choice is easy. They can pound sand. This bill will ban federal funds to any state or local government that considers dogs ‘haram.’ Proceed accordingly, Mamdani.
