2024: [3:58] – The Supreme Court has decided to hear Trump’s case regarding presidential immunity. This decision means the lower courts cannot proceed with their cases against him until SCOTUS hears and rules, which won’t be any time soon.

CALIFORNICATION: California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law exempting Panera Bread from its new wage hike for fast food workers. Funny coinkidink … Greg Flynn, a billionaire who owns about two dozen Panera Bread locations in California, has quite a history with Gavin Newsom. They attended the same high school and have been involved in business dealings together; Flynn also donates to Newsom’s campaigns.

DEMOCRAT CRICKETS: President Biden posted 27 times about the death of George Floyd; he’s had nothing to say about the murder of of Laken Riley. Likewise, the Slime Stream Media has had nothing to say. In the 24 hours following her death, the New York Times posted six stories on the front page about a dead owl, but none about Laken Riley. The AP said Riley had been killed by an “Athens resident” and suggested she shouldn’t have been out jogging alone if she’d cared about her own safety. She wasn’t jogging in a crime-ridden neighborhood, but on campus. The AP article got down to paragraph seven before saying that the suspect “doesn’t have an extensive criminal history and is not a U.S. citizen.”

DIVERSITY HIRE: CLICK https://twitter.com/atwitty2/status/1762876552314753189 to hear Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson say twice that bump stocks shoot 800 rounds per second and NO ONE corrects her.
According to Wikipedia, a bump stock causes a semi-automatic firearm trigger to reset automatically rather than require the shooter to pull it manually. This somewhat mimics a fully automatic weapon. Bump fire stocks can be placed on a few common weapons such as the AR or AK families. They can achieve rates of fire between 400 and 800 rounds per minute depending on the gun.
“Per minute” vs. “per second” … it’s all the same to the brainiac who doesn’t know what a woman is.

FASCISM: “Remember when Donald Trump was the worst president ever and was an enemy of the First Amendment and regularly attacked a free and fair press because he’d call Jim Acosta ‘fake news’? What do you call it when a government starts arresting real journalists? … Remind me, how many journalists did Trump arrest?” – Harris Rigby at Not The Bee

SEXPLOITATION: The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times report that social-media giant Meta has known that people are using its Facebook and Instagram paid subscription tools to facilitate child sexual exploitation, but has done nothing to stop it.
Hundreds of “parent-managed minor accounts” sell adult male users’ images of their own young daughters wearing swimsuits and leotards. The photos themselves were not pornographic, but the parents running the accounts know the users are getting off on the photos. Some go so far as to talk trash with or even have their daughters engage in sexual talk with users.
“One calculation performed by an audience demographics firm found 32 million connections to male followers among the 5,000 accounts examined,” the Times report says adding that Instagram users who report sexually explicit images and suspected predators “are typically met with silence or indifference.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I told Dearest we were out of one thing. He offered to run to the store. I suggested as long as he was going, he could pick up ONE OTHER THING. He said, “I’ll need a list.”
