Violation of anti-trust law? Look around, corrupt DOJ, at all your campaign contributing violators. “Rich” men in this nation have no balls, no morality, no noble character. Do any men in this country?

Can the Sherman Act Be Used To Silence the Press?
Apparently, Trump’s DOJ thinks so.

What’s shameful is that no party before the Greens called Zionism racist
Israel was forged out of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The Greens have very belatedly recognised what should have been obvious all along

“The steady rollout of show deals”: $5,000 cheques; a “massive” potash deal (Belarus: volumes not available); a $54B Alaskan LNG project (S Korea: we haven’t agreed to it); now diesel from the Kremlin despite its diesel export ban. Desperate efforts to move headlines away from polling data.

Democrats are a cosplay. Nothing but texts for money. No answer to Project 2025. No platform. The billionaires bet on MAGA. “The people” too dumb to wake up and save themselves from self-destruction. That a dwindling number can still afford to buy things isn’t freedom.

A V-PAC mailer attacking Dem gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton came thru from an OH voter on our new “Paid For By” web app that instantly gives voters detailed info about groups sending political mailers. PI reviews all submissions. All claims on OH mailer are either flatly false or deeply mislead….

Signs of things to come (authoritarianism at local level) if “the people” don’t act. Hope the media outlet sues the city/police with help from deep pockets who believe in freedom of information to hold excessive police violence to account.

“Hopefully it will crack open something that needs to be cracked open.” Something long overdue and with a predator-sympathetic “administration” lurking and lashing out, but it will have different attention now from a public dragged across time (and “Files”) to acknowledge a harsh reality.
