Sounds to me like Wray committed perjury today.
Sunday at CPAC
Trump reprised his greatest hits at CPAC.
I read the French oped. I'm older than he is and I've been a conservative thanks to a proper upbringing in a Christian family and Reagan for over 40 years now. I can't think of any conservative value that Reagan advocated for, that Rush Limbaugh advocated for, or that Trump advocated for that conflicted with what I perceive to be patriotic conservative values.
If French, Noonan and Goldberg take issue with Rush's contribution to the conservative movement, I think that is an acknowledgement it is they themselves who don't possess the same conservative values as those who are widely considered to be the thought leaders of the conservative movement.
R.I.P Rush
Rush Limbaugh has passed away, and its complicated. I am somewhere in the space sketched by Jonah Goldberg, Peggy Noonan and David French.
Stephanie,
Can you include the URL's to the Michael Smith opeds you are posting?
Presidents Day
Will there ever be a Biden Day? A Trump Day? Doubtful. Reagan and FDR have a shot though.
More fun with Zoom filters.

Trump's lawyers just spanked the Democrats and completely exposed their lies and hypocrisy.

Let's Put Cuomo In A Nursing Home
The Times uses the phrase "cover-up" in their web hed on the latest in the Cuomo cover-up. I guess they ran out of space on the front page, however, where the story was placed below the fold: "Cuomo Faces New Scrutiny Of Death Data" Whatever. Their long journey back to reality may have begun...

This is hilariously brutal.
Another Day At The Trial
Apparently there is some must-see video I have yet to see. Senators running, or anyway jogging, for their lives. Who knows?

The drop in COVID cases comes after thousands of students were celebrating on The Strip after winning the national championship game.

That tweet of the La Jolla sea levels has a warning for "potentially sensitive content". Sounds like Twitter is concerned the Chicken Littles will have a conniption fit when presented with evidence that what they perceive to be The Truth about climate change is not true at all.
Impeachment II
Reruns. Republicans will vote to acquit by relying on the defensible but unconvincing argument that a trial of an out-of-office President is not Constitutional. Is anyone expecting any surprises? Ok, that's why they are called surprises. But I don't see any coming.
Mike Lindell's 2 hour video on election fraud.

I'm With Crazy. For Now.
The WaPo on the challenge faced by House "leader" Kevin McCarthy: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has pinned his hopes for reclaiming the majority in 2022 on never having to choose between the contradictory factions in his own party, no matter how deep the divisions appear. He...
In SCOTUS terms what does "distributed for conference" mean?
Piling On Cuomo
The media abhors a Trump vacuum. Biden if off-limits but NY State Gov. Cuomo will make a fine replacement.
Three months after the election, you would be hard pressed to cogently argue the election was stolen, even though we all KNOW it was and Trump told us it was. Lots and lots of smoke and huffing and puffing, but wouldn't three months in you have expected something a little more legally concrete than "I coulda been a contender!"

I can only read the headline since I don't have a subscription but it appears that we still won't get any legally concrete evidence the election was stolen as part of the impeachment trial.

A sad day today as Dustin Pedroia retired from the Boston Red Sox. Pedroia is my favorite player of all time and epitomized what kind of mentality it takes to be a successful athlete. He was on the way to being a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame until a dirty slide from Manny Machado destroyed his knee. Hope to see him as the Red Sox manager in a few years.

Something doesn't make sense to me about Trump's legal team for the second impeachment.
All the articles I have read say Trump's lawyers (past and present) want to base the defense on the fact the entire impeachment is a political sham and unconstitutional because Trump is no longer in office. The articles also say that Trump wants to use the impeachment trial as an opportunity to provide evidence of election fraud and that the election was stolen.
If that is what Trump really wants why aren't Rudy and Sidney Powell is charge of Trump's legal team?

From the last thread:
Senator Ted Cruz: “President Trump’s rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible because he said repeatedly—and he said over and over again—he won by a landslide; there was massive fraud; it was all stolen everywhere. That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that’s not responsible and you’ve never heard me use language like that.
Whose fault is it that Trump's lawyers were consistently prevented from presenting the evidence of fraud in a trial?
1) Did evidence of massive election fraud never exist but our confirmation bias led us to assume it did exist?
2) Did Trump hire incompetent lawyers who legally blew a case that should have been easily won?
3)Did corrupt judges ignore the legit evidence and rule against Trump?
IMO Cruz is correct about Trump's rhetoric ONLY if the answer to #1 is "yes".

Trump's Legal Team Quits
Per CNN, Trump's legal team quit rather than rely on a "Stop the Steal" defense.
I am tempted to download the Robin Hood app and purchase my one allowed share of Gamestop just so I can say I helped screw over some of the hedge funds.
Robin Hood - Men In Shorts
Gamestop drama - the little guys ganged up on the hedge funds. The next Gamestop is probably on this January 13 (?) list of Highly Shorted stocks. IIRC short sale data is released every other week, so we should get an update by Monday.
Ah, because Page asked the court to go easy on KC
Perhaps Page knows he needs the Swamp for future employment opportunities.

Many of the articles on the Gamestop story have pointed out many of the Reddit retail traders are people who can't work due to the pandemic lockdown and many of them used their stimulus checks to pay for their initial investments. In other words, a large chunk of the Redditor retail traders started out with only hundreds or a few thousand dollars.
Here is something to think about for the future. The Redditors who are leading the charge are now going to be multi-millionaires once they cash in their Gamestop stock. They don't intend to sell until the shorts that the hedge funds bought expire. If these Redditor retail traders can do this to a major hedge fund when they started out with only hundreds and a few thousand dollars, what will they be capable of doing once they have millions of dollars available to them?

I talked to my financial advisor today and instructed him to move my entire portfolio out of the stock market and into cash for the time being until the Gamestop situation settles down.
He said he thinks the Feds will eventually start arresting the prominent retail traders under the law that makes collusion illegal. He said there is nothing in current law or SEC regulations to address what is going on right now with social media so arresting them for collusion is the only way the Feds can stop them from continuing to do what they are been doing.

Shemp is conveniently omitting the key fact that the WHO officially changed the criteria for what constitutes a positive COVID test on the day Biden took office.

The whistleblower is saying someone from the White House and Sequoia Capital called the management of Robin Hood and told them to shut down trading on stocks like Gamestop, Amc ETC.

I wonder if Peng Zhao was a card carrying member of the Chinese Communist Party before he was granted US citizenship?
