UNEXPECTEDLY: 60 Minutes Airs Misleading Report on Trump Pardons.

The findings that felons had hired both Bill and Hillary’s family members to lobby the Clinton White House for pardons were widely covered by news outlets, including reporters at CBS News. Stahl joined the CBS News Washington bureau in the early 1970s and moved to “60 Minutes” in 1991, almost a decade before the Clinton scandal became national news. So it’s hard to understand how she missed these details of the Clinton pardon scandal to now claim the Trump administration has created a new “pardon economy,” as “60 Minutes” calls its news segment.

More Trump Probes

Although Stahl’s “60 Minutes” segment did not support its claim that Trump has created a unique new system for pardons, it is already prompting fresh partisan attacks against the president. In an online story that followed the “60 Minutes” piece, CBS News reported that Democrats were alarmed by the undercover video: “Senior Democratic lawmakers vowed Monday to investigate the new market that has sprung up around President Trump’s pardons, citing CBS News video of lobbyists offering to ‘put pressure on the president’ in exchange for a hefty fee from a convicted felon.”

Now the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jamie Raskin will likely lead these investigations. Raskin told CBS News that pardons are “kind of an underground market because not everybody knows how to get to it.”

CBS News failed to report, however, that one of the people who benefited from this underground market was Raskin himself, who Biden pardoned along with Liz Cheney on his final day in office.

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Is Bill Burr Still on Team Luigi?

The Massachusetts native set woke snowflakes’ blue hair ablaze with his gags. He attacked DEI gone wild, mocking those who insist actors only take roles that reflect their actual life, background or physical state.

“‘Why is there an able-bodied person playing a quadriplegic?’” Burr said about Bryan Cranston’s starring role in “The Upside,” the tale of a quadriplegic in distress. “It’s called acting, you dumb f***.”

Glorious.

That Bill Burr may be gone for good. The comic actor hasn’t been as outrageous or funny in some time. He’s all over the map when it comes to the woke mind virus now, often sounding like a second-rate Hasan Piker.

In short, what the bleep happened to him?

LIVING HISTORY: I Served Aboard 57,500-Ton Iowa-Class Battleship USS Wisconsin And She Is A Floating History Lesson For The US Navy In 2026. “It reminds us that the industrial aspect of maintenance, repair, and overhaul is colossal—especially for older ships. Back then, the U.S. Navy fleet was getting younger and younger amid the frantic buildup to an (almost) 600-ship Navy. Today the fleet is aging, compounding the challenges, time, and cost of upkeep. You can run a classic car forever—if you’re willing to pay the cost, and don’t run it too hard. And spare parts for the classics become scarce. Hence our need to rummage for parts at the nearby Alabama museum ship.”

Ok, we now have the actual text of the Greenland deal (https://t.co/HwqZT6CGb2), so we can say how it compares to the existing 1951 arrangement and who, between Trump and Denmark, lied the most in their framing of it.

“It even survives a hypothetical future independence of Greenland: in that event, Denmark and Greenland must ensure that the independent Greenlandic state ‘affirmatively assume[s] all of the rights and obligations of the Kingdom of Denmark specified in this Agreement.'”

MAKE HIGH-TRUST GREAT AGAIN:

Libertarianism has disappeared because it is a sub-species of liberalism, and liberalism is disappearing across the West because people only feel the liberal impulse within the context of a high-trust society (which liberals have destroyed). https://t.co/ToYFtCjuJF

GO AWAY: California Wants to Write America’s AI Rules.

The order cites the need for more stringent regulation following the Hugging Face attack and industry leaders’ call to action. It also accelerates the implementation of Senate Bill 813 and Assembly Bill 1405, which create a state framework for certifying and registering independent AI auditors but do not require developers to submit to audits.

​The announcement describes California’s AI framework as a “guidebook for the nation.” Adam Thierer, a senior fellow at the R Street Institute, sees it differently.

“It’s not a guidebook,” he tells Reason. “It’s a rule book.”

AI systems transcend state borders, and given California’s outsized role in the market, working around its laws is hardly an option; therefore, California law effectively becomes the national standard. This phenomenon is known as the “California effect,” and it has reared its ugly head in labor and environmental policy.

The last thing we need is a one-party kleptocracy that can’t even build a railroad writing regulations for the entire country on bleeding-edge tech.
