Today. After saying that Presidents didn’t go to Pearl Harbor 22 years after the bombing (JFK did go).
A Hawaiian store displays a large sign criticizing President Biden for comparing almost losing his corvette in a small kitchen fire to the catastrophic blaze that razed historic Lahaina Town, claiming over 115 lives and leaving more than 1,000 missing.

That may have sounded better in your head. No cognitive dissonance necessary re: which lies to believe. There’s a reason statements against interest are admissible, while self-serving hearsay is not.
NEW: President Biden once again tries to make the Maui fire that killed ~500 people about himself by telling a story about how he almost lost his corvette in a house fire.
You can always count on Biden to tell a story that didn’t happened.

Empathy. False, but empathetic.
An anti-SLAPP (Strategic Litigation/Lawsuit Against Public Participation) law allows for a quick dismissal (and attorneys fees) for lawsuits designed to silence people. An example is filing a defamation claim when it is clear that the speaker is discussing an issue of public concern. A recent example is when Rep. Katie Hill tried to sue the journalists who published her throuple pictures under California’s privacy / revenge porn laws. The journalists files and anti-SLAPP motion, and granting the motion meant it was dismissed AND she had to pay attorneys fees.
Katie Hill sued my journalist clients for exposing the truth. We warned her lawyer Carrie Goldberg about CA Anti-SLAPP law in writing. And yet they persisted into six figures in attorney fee losses. She dodged service of the judgment, now BK. Nothing is ever her fault. Typical. https://t.co/fuxkyNz6Uy

Many people saying that the purpose is to keep Weiss from answering Congressional questions because he can now cite “an ongoing investigation.” Others saying that a US Attorney handling the matter should not be appointed special counsel. Seems too clever by half.

The Rasmussen daily tracking poll has consistently had him only 4 points underwater.

A couple things: oil and gas affects everything eventually, because goods have to be transported; and food prices remain a pain.

The entire Euro zone is spending less on food.
Do you think it’s going to be more spending on processed food / fast food? One of the worst things about inflation over the last three years is that it costs a lot more to cook at home. For the long-term health of the country, more people cooking at home would be a good thing. If we’re substituting cheap, processed food for home cooked meals, inflation will also result in more obesity and metabolic disease.
I would worry less about the lawyers who can’t do math, and more about the doctors at the American Medical Association who fed that statistic to the lawyers, then the law clerks, and ultimately to Justice Jackson. The fact that doctors can no longer do math, and are willing to peddle garbage statistics as the basis for policy should be the most concerning part of this entire affair.
It’s incredible how much of medicine is based on a single study with a small sample size.

(Yeah, I know, it’s hypocritical to trash the AMA, then cite the JAMA).
Student loan forgiveness requires Congressional approval, and state anti-discrimination laws can’t be used to compel speech.
