Fuck Stephen A Smith for belittling Lane Johnson, a footballer who doesn’t have to prove shit to anyone regarding his toughness, for retiring so he can prioritize his mental health. And fuck ESPN for giving this loudmouth, among others, a daily show where he can spew his bullshit unfettered.

In today's twin episode of leopards gouging themselves on each other, 1) Steven Friend, whom Kash funded to lie & rehired to FBI, was fired for disinformation about the pipe bomb case. 2) John Sullivan, who took vid of Jan6 while he was criming, is pro se suing Gateway Pundit for stealing that vid.
32.The speech identified in Patel’s dismissal letter concerned an important,
publicly known federal investigation: the FBI’s investigation of two pipe
bombs discovered near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Friend’s
commentary addressed the investigation, the agency’s handling of evidence,
and the accountability of federal law enforcement.Defendants systematically downloaded and extracted video files directly from
Plaintiff's public digital channels, intentionally removed, altered, and excised Plaintiff's
identifying copyright management information, digital watermarks, and authorial
attribution notices, re-encoded the video files into proprietary web formats, and uploaded
the footage onto video hosting servers and embedded video players hosted directly within
commercial articles on TheGatewayPundit.com. Indeed, high-definition broadcast frame
captures establish that Defendants publicly displayed and streamed Plaintiff's copyrighted
footage of the Speaker's Lobby-plainly bearing Plaintiff's transparent "Insurgence USA"
provenance watermark across the lower-right quadrant-while superimposing Defendants'
own prominent "GP" (The Gateway Pundit) corporate broadcast logo in the upper-left
quadrant to falsely brand and commercially exploit Plaintiff's work as their own
proprietary news reporting (Exhibit 69). This intentional removal, alteration, and
unauthorized superimposition of copyright management information was executed without

I certainly hope and expect that any mainstream press who jump on this story after I broke it two weeks ago on Bluesky, then wrote about iti again on PubliCola yesterday, will credit PubliCola's reporting, in which I also noted that I found it odd that no other media picked up on this.

No other mayor has ever gone through a "public process" before deciding to hire their own chief and let the old one go—an absolutely absurd demand—and it isn't "performative" to do a community process before hiring a police chief. it's standard. mynorthwest.com/kiro-opinion...

It is, btw, entirely a product of Wilson Derangement Syndrome that we are still talking about why a press conference in July didn't happen sooner than it did. If you rely on mainstream press for your news, you'll think this is all that's happening (that and rampant murder sprees across Seattle ofc)

I was unable to attend because I am off this week and most of next, but this week's Seattle Nice includes a discussion of this, in which one of my cohosts excoriates the mayor for using the word "grandstanding" to describe what Maritza Rivera has been doing for the past week.

Side note: It's telling that the more conservative councilmembers use police per capita to argue that we don't have enough cops to keep up with population growth, while using total shootings to argue that we need more policing—when the actual numbers show the homicide rate is declining.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.
