LITERALLY NOBODY CARES WHAT SHE DOES.
Can someone point me in the direction of the MAGA people freaking out about Michelle Obama not attending Trump’s inauguration because I've yet to see that https://t.co/6IOndwz3nA

IT’S ALL LIES AND BULLSHIT. ALL OF IT.

IF THEIR POLICIES ARE SO GOOD, WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT THEM SO MUCH? Biden Leaves Behind a Sordid Legacy of Lies and Falsehoods in His Four-Year War on Guns.

DIVERSITY PROBLEM: Top public policy programs lack conservative faculty, research finds.
BUT OF COURSE: San Diego State University Pride Center says ‘fatphobia’ is ‘rooted in anti-Blackness,’ calls on students to champion ‘fat bodies.’
Nobody is afraid of fat people. People just find them unattractive. That’s what all this is about: If you won’t date me you’re a bigot!
SETH BARRETT TILLMAN: Recent Academic Writing on the End of the Rule of Law. “Trump never had a chance to remove Special Counsel Jack Smith. Smith resigned days before Trump will take office. And before he left, Smith actively closed down the D.C. and Florida federal prosecutions. If these things were wrongful for Trump to do, was it not also wrongful for Smith to do? And if so, do Finkelstein and Painter think Smith should be impeached for wrongdoing in office amounting to high crimes and misdemeanours? Or should Smith be indicted for criminal obstruction of justice?”
No, silly. Some laws only apply to Donald Trump. That’s what “Rule of Law” means in 2025.
LAYING OFF THE COPY EDITORS WAS A MISTAKE (CONT’D): Ann Althouse has a lengthy analysis of the NYT fashion analysis of Pete Hegseth, but what leapt off the page to me was this (from the Times story): “Unseen was the Uncle Sam jacket linings that Mr. Hegseth [has] occasionally flashed.” Unseen was the linings?. Really?

BYRON YORK: Jack Smith, the prosecutor who would never admit what he was doing.
Legally, I’m not sure he ever knew. Politicaly, we all knew.
I GUESS THAT MEANS GLENN JACOBS WILL BE RUNNING FOR U.S. SENATE: Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs endorses Sen. Marsha Blackburn for governor. “Blackburn and Jacobs, who are close friends, are both strong allies of President-elect Donald Trump and many of their political views align. Instead, Jacobs is likely to position himself for an appointment to Blackburn’s would-be vacant Senate seat if she wins. And his endorsement does just that.”
