Earlier this week, Matt Taibbi was called as a witness by the Republican majority of a subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Before his testimony began, Democratic Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove slandered him: Sydney Kamlager-Dove, a Democrat representing California’s 37th district in Los Angeles, began her opening remarks in a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing Tuesday with a comment directed to me. “To distract from the dumpster fire this administration is pursuing,” she said, the Republicans were “elevating a serial sexual harrasser as their star witness.” That assertion was an outrageous lie, but presumably Ms. Kamlager-Dove believed she was protected by the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause,

You would think that geeks would spend their time and effort on geeking out.
But when it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome, even the geeks get distracted by their need to virtue signal, get political, and spin things.
I used to read a lot of tech blogs, but over the past few years I have cut more and more of them out of my regular reading rotation. The first reason was that I would go to read up on the latest neat stuff and suddenly be treated to glowing reviews of sex toys and masturbation aids, and I was afraid that soon enough, I would be given top 10 lists
A First Amendment Right to Sit In Front?
12 replies
The White House press corps declared war on the Trump administration on Inauguration Day, and the administration has responded, but only mildly. Most recently, by taking control over the seating of reporters in the White House briefing room. You might think that something so trivial would not engage the attention of the Left, but you would be wrong.
Semafor reports: “Journalists consider briefing room sit-in as Trump clashes with White House press corps.”
"The Trump administration’s proposal to take over the seating arrangement within the White House press briefing room has rattled the journalists who cover the president and left them mulling how exactly to push back.
Remember the Price of Eggs?
5 replies
Democrats thought they had a great issue in the high price of eggs, due mostly to avian bird flu. In January, they were touting record-high egg prices as proof of the failure of Trump’s administration–even though the figures released in January were for December, before Trump’s inauguration.
Weirdly, the Democrats’ harping on eggs has continued even as the price has plummeted, as in this LA Times column, published on March 8:
"As their party struggles to navigate the early days of Donald Trump’s second presidency, some Democrats are convinced that their road to recovery lies in the price of eggs.
Instead of leaning into Trump’s tear-down of
DOGE Chief Elon Musk revealed that those funding violent attacks against Tesla dealerships have been identified and suggested criminal charges would be imminent.
Musk appeared on Tuesday for an interview with the "The Five" panel to discuss a wide range of topics. Kennedy asked him about the ongoing violence directed at Tesla, wondering how Musk could possibly "talk the unhinged off the ledge."
"It is remarkable that there is so much violence," he replied. "People have burnt cars, they've fired bullets into dealerships. They have scratched swastikas into Teslas of innocent people that—that are just going about their lives."
Prince Andrew sexual abuse accuser Virginia Guiffre's claims that a car crash has left her in hospital with just four days to live will raise uncomfortable questions around her credibility - if it transpires that she has exaggerated her injuries - friends of the duke have told MailOnline.
Ms Giuffre posted a photo of her bruised face lying on a hospital bed on Instagram and said doctors told her she is going to die due to kidney failure following the wreck.
'This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won't bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when
How to Prosecute the Tesla Bombers
10 replies
Last week, the New York Post reported that “DOGEQUEST,” an anonymous website, had published a partial list of Tesla owners’ names, addresses, and phone numbers. The site, since deleted, featured a Molotov cocktail image as a cursor, and a map of supposed Tesla owners and “DOGE landmarks.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk described the doxxing site as an example of “extreme domestic terrorism;” the White House agreed. In the Department of Justice’s press release announcing charges against three suspected Tesla arsonists, Attorney General Pam Bondi warned would-be criminals, “if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
Protests used to be really something in America. Back in the anti-war 70s, college kids and young adults were protesting continued U.S. involvement in Vietnam, and it was effective enough to alter the direction of the country. Those same hippies are now grandparents and great-grandparents, if they're still alive. You might guess that a lot of their grandkids are the ones protesting Elon Musk and Tesla, Donald Trump, ICE, and whatever else they think is wrong. But that doesn't seem to be the case most of the time. Many are foreign nationals here on a student visa. A lot of them are paid protesters.
We've Been Played – Badly

What happens when we find out that much of what we believed or assumed is completely wrong?
One of the greatest accomplishments in entertainment history remains Orson Welles War of the Worlds. His 1938 production was so skillful, so brilliantly produced that hundreds if not thousands of people believed that Earth had been invaded by Martians and ran from their homes in terror. Welles had to reassure listeners that the radio broadcast was only a program and that there was no fighting between the aliens and US army forces. How did those who drove out of New Jersey in panic feel when they were finally convinced that the whole thing
WebMD — the last place any sane person would turn to for medical advice — has come out with a whopper of a doozy of a COVID shot propaganda piece, befitting more 2021 than 2025. With all we now know — objectively, quantitatively — about the unprecedented dangers of the shots coupled with the minimal, infinitesimally tiny risk that the COVID infection poses to children, one might expect a least a modicum of nuance from WebMD.
But no.
Presenting “Why COVID Vaccination Is Still Crucial for Children,” via Web MD (emphasis added): Vaccinated children are much less likely to develop “long COVID” than are unvaccinated children, according to a new study

Why Greenland Is Vital
6 replies
When news first broke in 2019 that the Trump administration was exploring the idea of purchasing Greenland—or at least forging a strategic alliance—the chattering classes nearly herniated themselves from laughter. Late-night comedians, blue-check Twitter “experts,” and self-appointed geopolitical geniuses on cable panels all united in synchronized mockery. “Greenland? Is he starting a collection?” they joked, smug in their ignorance. But the laughter only exposed how unserious these voices are when it comes to actual statecraft.
Because here’s the truth: Greenland is vital. And President Trump—mocked though he

Bette Midler is getting rid of her Tesla in protest of the car company's founder, Elon Musk.
Midler ‒ the outspoken star of screen and stage, whose politics lean left ‒ shared the news with fans in an Instagram post Wednesday.
"What a joyful day!" a picture Midler posted said. "I sold my (gulp) Tesla! No longer do I have to drive a symbol of racism, greed and ignorance! Life is suddenly so much better!""
Midler's comments were seemingly made in reference to Musk's involvement in President Donald Trump's second administration as the Tesla and SpaceX founder seeks
Wall Street’s bloodbath spilled over into a second day on Friday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by more than 2,200 points after China unveiled stiff retaliatory taxes to President Trump’s tariffs.
The Dow tanked 2,231 points — a day after suffering a 1,679-point drop, its previous worst session since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The two-day selloff wiped out $6.4 trillion in market value.

‘Reckoning’ For Trump ‘Collaborators’
In Unhinged Rant 20 replies
Democratic strategist James Carville in a Friday video demanded a “reckoning” for entities that have collaborated with President Donald Trump’s administration.
Carville alluded to France during World War II when some women faced humiliation, including head-shaving, for allegedly collaborating with Nazis. The strategist, with an empty or near-empty wine glass on his nightstand, said he does not believe Trump “collaborators” should be assaulted but said they must at least face an “intellectual reckoning.”
The attorney for Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old accused of murdering football star Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet, insists he doesn’t have “any reason” to think the killing “wasn’t in self defense” — and will request the teen’s bond be lowered from $1,000,000.[snip]
he was charged with fatally stabbing Metcalf, also 17, and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms during the athletic event in Frisco Wednesday morning.
After briefly meeting with the teenager for the first time on Friday afternoon, Anthony’s attorney Deric Walpole told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that at this point in time he believes his client acted in self defense

Primary Poll, Signaling Shift in Democratic Power 19 replies
In a stunning revelation, a new poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits in a hypothetical head-to-head New York primary matchup. This surprising shift in the political landscape highlights the growing power of the far-left faction within the Democratic Party as Ocasio-Cortez continues to build her base among younger, more progressive voters. Schumer, long seen as the establishment figure in New York and national politics, now faces a growing challenge from within his own party, signaling that even the most entrenched political figures could be vulnerable.
Thousands of protesters gathered for various so-called “Hands Off!” rallies throughout the United States to protest President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
A video posted to X by ABC News showed “thousands of protesters” who had “flooded the streets” in Boston, Massachusetts, as part of a “Hands Off!” Rally. Breitbart News’s Sean Moran previously reported that protesters were slated to gather across the nation on Saturday for the “Hands Off!” rallies to tell Trump and Musk to take their “Hands Off!” people’s healthcare, Social Security, “civil rights,” and their freedom and education.
Two of the most divisive politicians in recent American history emerged from hiding this week to play Monday morning quarterback against President Trump, and the Trump White House was not pleased in the slightest.
As ABC News reported, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris launched cheap shots the president in separate speeches on Thursday over his imposition of reciprocal tariffs and ‘attacking’ American values.
“Look, I don’t think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America, but that’s a specific policy.

Barack Obama made a shockingly honest admission about the state of his marriage to Michelle Obama.
“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” Barack, 63, told Hamilton College President Steven Tepper in a conversation Thursday, according to the Daily Beast.
“So I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.”
The former president of the United States has previously suggested that his back-to-back terms in office from 2009 to 2017 took a toll on his relationship with the former first lady.
Barack Obama has called on US citizens, colleges and law firms to resist Donald Trump’s political agenda – and warned Americans to prepare to “possibly sacrifice” in support of democratic values.
“It has been easy during most of our lifetimes to say you are a progressive or say you are for social justice or say you’re for free speech and not have to pay a price for it,” Obama said during a speech at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, on Thursday.

A single Republican senator — Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) — voted against the nomination of Harmeet Dhillon to serve as assistant attorney general, veering away from the rest of her GOP colleagues who voted in favor.
After her nomination in December, lawmakers finally held a formal vote Thursday and Dhillon was approved in a 52-45 vote. However, Murkowski opposed the nomination and sided with Democrats. President Donald Trump announced in December the nomination of Dhillon to work as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice.
Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) is preparing to launch a 2026 gubernatorial bid in Georgia, according to a Friday report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Bottoms served as a city council member and spent three years in the White House as a senior adviser during the Biden administration. She was also a close confidante of former Vice President Kamala Harris throughout her 2024 presidential campaign.
Jaguar Land Rover will pause shipments of its Britain-made cars to the United States for a month, it said on Saturday, as it considers how to mitigate the cost of President Donald Trump's 25% tariff.
Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by India's Tata Motors (TAMO.NS), opens new tab, confirmed the temporary export suspension after the Times newspaper reported the plan.
"As we work to address the new trading terms with our business partners, we are taking some short-term actions, including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid- to longer-term plans," JLR said in an emailed statement.
