Fox "News"

It is amazing what legal discovery can achieve!  I mean in the case of the lawsuit between Fox News and the voting machines companies, it is all there, so much so that the lawyers for Dominion, one of the voting machine company, has asked for summary judgment, without going to court because the evidence is so overwhelming.  Every single talking head from Fox knew that the election fraud was false, they knew it was BS and told, in private text and email, that every guest that mentioned "proof" of voter fraud was a flake, and in fact over the past two years, it has been shown that every single case of electoral fraud has been perpetrated by GOP supporters.

So Fox is almost certain to be found guilty and will have to pay the $1.6 billion, but it gets worse because there are two voting machine companies so the total bill for Fox may be in the range of $3.0 billion.  That's just money.  Now think of the ridicule, even if you don't care about the news (and most Americans don't) a good egg-in-your-face scandal is always appreciated.  It makes them look foolish and weak.

More importantly, what does it say about Newsmax and OANN who have been even more extreme than Fox in talking about voter fraud and other bits and pieces?  What even the most ardent pro-Trump supporter will understand is that the people they respected lied to them, sure they gave them a "safe space", but from now on, every time some blowhard mentioned something from Fox news the rebuttal will always be "they lie about everything, knowingly admit it"

So next time Uncle Fred talks about what he's heard on Fox the reply is always going to be, "hey they lie so much that they paid two companies $ 3 billion for their lies, I don't believe anything they say" end of discussion.  

BTW no one sued Newsmax or OANN because they are broke -- Comcast will probably now have an argument for reclassifying Fox from its cable service with these lawsuits -- "they are not a news channel, purely entertainment"

Finally, they've even found emails from Rupurt Murchoch stating that the role of Fox news in 2016 was to support the GOP...I mean how can you be "fair and balanced" when the CEO tells you that your job is to support the GOP against the democrats.

I have no idea how these cases will affect FOX's broadcasting of the 2024 elections or even the GOP.  Lachlan Murdoch's son has two choices (a) stay the course and hope no one notices, (b) re-invent the network.  If I were a betting man, I would guess he will go for "a" and hope that the great American electorate will forget these lawsuits -- as a concoction by the twisted left leaning courts.  That would be my bet.  After all, the GOP keeps on supporting George Santos...this is a man who has lied about EVERYTHING, and the GOP still supports him

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
