Licenses to use radio wave (i.e., TV, etc) broadcast spectrum. No license for online. Fairness hasn’t been applied to the latter.

Only cold and rain here around r Cape Canaveral. Our air handler seems to enjoy generating heat instead of removing it.

As soon as I heard Booker say "The people of New Jersey didn't send me here to oppose Donald Trump," I hit mute and scrolled Bluesky instead. I just don't want to hear any more of that kind of weak-ass bullshit.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Because he's not governor after 2026 due to term limits. And he needs a place to hang out in the public eye before he tries for President again in 2028.

Can DeSantis appoint himself to Rubio’s Senate seat should it become vacant?

Question for the crew here - can Ron DeSantis appoint himself to replace Marco Rubio in the Senate? I can think of no reason he cannot do that. He faces term limits in '26 and Rubio's term goes to '28.

It would have been better if the Democrats had decided back in 2020 that Biden would be too old to run again so that other Democrats could have raised their voices. But Nancy is still running her mouth about anyone else she can blame.

Some corrections in the media are misspelled last names. Calling someone an assistant professor when they had recently been promoted to associate. A misheard year that makes someone a few years older than they are. Then there's this. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/u...
A correction was made on Sept. 1, 2024: An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that a local chapter of Moms for Liberty had accidentally quoted Adolf Hitler in a newsletter. The group, which later issued an apology, was aware that the quote was from Hitler when the newsletter was published.

No it is not. I suggest the UN is the forum for deciding nations guilty of unbalanced genocide. I suggest only then should the ICC prosecute the leaders of the guilty nation.

What does any of this have to even remotely do with the case at hand? Who has Trump been sleeping with? Certainly not Melania! That has just as much bearing on this case.
