Unlike Murphy Brown, Dan Quayle’s Speech Has Aged Gracefully
"No good deed goes unpunished.

Last month, former NFL head coach Tony Dungy was among the attendees at a bill signing ceremony in Florida for new legislation supporting fatherhood. The bipartisan Responsible Fatherhood Initiative will set aside more than $70 million to help struggling Sunshine State fathers play a greater role in the lives of their children.
Regrettably, a vocal group of leftist political commentators, including former sportscaster Keith Olbermann, sought to use Dungy’s support for responsible fatherhood as a political football. They took to Twitter to hurl epithets like “racist” and “fascist” at the first black head coach to win a Super Bowl...Read all!!

Report: Facebook Fought Against Regulation by Manipulating the News

Report: Facebook Fought Against Regulation by Manipulating the News:

A recent report reveals that a lobbying group funded by Facebook has been planting stories in newspapers across the United States in an effort to manipulate the media and fight big tech regulation. A report from the Washington Post reveals that a political advocacy group called American Edge was secretly funded by Facebook (now known as Meta) and has been manipulating news narratives by placing stories in newspapers across the United States. American Edge aimed to oppose Senate-backed antitrust legislation that attempted to reign in the Big Tech Masters of the Universe.

China Isn't Showing Certain Trading Data After a Record Bond Selloff

China just saw a record bond sell-off.
Now its main trading platform isn't publishing foreign debt trades, report says.
BlackRock last week forecasted a "rapidly worsening" outlook for the world's second-largest economy.
After record net sales of sovereign debt, China's primary bond trading platform for foreign investors hasn't published transaction data in a week, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Turmoil across Chinese markets has escalated due to COVID-19 lockdowns, and the lack of data reporting raises questions about China's transparency into its debt market.

Russian state TV airs racist and homophobic attack on Karine Jean-Pierre | Washington Examiner

Russian pundits attacked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday in a rant that claimed Jean-Pierre was only promoted because she was "gay and black."

"The critics claimed she had not received the position because of her qualifications but because of her race, sexual orientation, and gender and said she would be replaced by a "white, heterosexual male" in a month or two.
..."I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts," Jean-Pierre said. "I am a black, gay, immigrant woman, the first of all three of those to hold this position..."

California blackouts caused by overreliance on green energy | EDITORIAL | Las Vegas Review-Journal

EDITORIAL: Green energy leaves Golden State facing blackouts

"A state running out of electricity used to be a once-in-a-generation political crisis.

In California, it’s now a regular occurrence thanks to the state’s fealty to pie-in-the-sky green energy rhetoric.
California officials recently projected the state’s energy needs for this summer, and the news isn’t good. The analysis concludes the state will experience significant power shortages.

During peak usage, the shortfall will be equivalent to the electricity used by 1.3 million homes.
In a worst-case scenario, the deficit could be equivalent to the power used by 3.75 million homes..."

Joy Behar calls Tucker Carlson 'almost irrelevant,' citing his audience numbers. But audience numbers for 'The View' slap back. - TheBlaze:

One also wonders how irrelevant Carlson is if politicians and the mainstream media repeatedly devote a large amount of attention to covering the things Carlson says.

Althouse: "...alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer, behind tobacco and obesity."

Althouse: "In recent years, a growing number of medical and public health groups have introduced public awareness campaigns warning people to drink with caution, noting that alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of cancer, behind tobacco and obesity."
"There's not too much talk about alcohol causing cancer, but there's even less talk about obesity causing cancer.

In fact, I don't believe I'd ever heard that obesity can cause cancer, and yet, apparently, it's the second leading preventable cause of cancer.
...Here's what the CDC has to say. It lists "13 Cancers... associated with overweight and obesity"

Meningioma (cancer in the tissue covering brain and spinal cord)
Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus
Multiple myeloma (cancer of blood cells)
Kidneys
Uterus
Ovaries
Thyroid
Breast (post-menopausal women)
Liver
Gallbladder
Upper stomach
Pancreas
Colon and rectum

This is a huge deal, but we don't hear about it — presumably because it's strongly believed that telling people to lose weight only makes it worse..."

DeSantis signs law banning protests outside homes - TheBlaze

DeSantis signs law banning protests outside homes - TheBlaze:

"Sending unruly mobs to private residences, like we have seen with the angry crowds in front of the homes of Supreme Court justices, is inappropriate," DeSantis said, according to a press release. "This bill will provide protection to those living in residential communities and I am glad to sign it into law." DeSantis, an incumbent Republican governor, is running for a second term in office. He has become an enormously popular figure among conservatives. Prior to serving as governor, DeSantis served in the U.S. House of Representatives as a lawmaker from the Sunshine State.

California Law Requiring Women on Boards Is Unconstitutional, Judge Rules

"...The law required publicly traded companies headquartered in California to have up to three female directors, depending on the size of the board, by 2021 or face fines.

...When then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law in September 2018, he noted it could be overturned but said but he wanted to send a message during the #MeToo era.
"Given all the special privileges that corporations have enjoyed for so long, it's high time corporate boards include the people who constitute more than half the 'persons' in America," Brown wrote in announcing his signing of the bill..."
