As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Texas Supreme Court temporarily blocks judge's order to extend polling hours in Dallas County Two county Republican parties opted to use precinct-level rather than countywide polling sites, which Democrats say led to widespread voter confusion on primary day.

He’s in the final year of his term and will be replaced in Novemberβ€” with a Dem.

Polis is a libertarian.

Always has been and clearly has political plans for once he leaves the office of the governor.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys
If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kidsβ€”or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kidsβ€”they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, β€œthere would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Residents of British Columbia will change their clocks this weekend as daylight saving time shifts into place and then will never do so again. The Canadian province is permanently adopting the new clock, officials announced on Monday, ending the twice-a-year ritual of changing every clock you own.

Ever since Trump began running for president in 2015, it was obvious he was BS'ing--that he did not & would not do the necessary homework to actually understand the issues and make genuinely informed decisions. This war with Iran is the deadly consequence of his ignorance, laziness and narcissism.
