In a town teeming with corruption and liars, Adam Schiff ranks #1
California Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat, was positively apoplectic in January when House Speaker Kevin McCarthy denied him membership on the House Intelligence Committee he had chaired for the past four years. In an interview with CNN at the time, congenital liar Schiff “tripled down” on the Russian collusion hoax. He wanted to “set the …

Why Tucker?
The conservative punditry world hasn’t had a shake up like this weeks in a long time. Two years ago, we lost talk radio’s G.O.A.T., Rush Limbaugh. A sad day, but not a surprise given Rush’s health issues. Fox News firing its number one star, Tucker Carlson, was both a surprise and a shock.

The Big AI Elephant In The Room
“It should come as no surprise with the maturity of image creation, the explosion of writing tools, and the massive rise of video and audio tools that are driving the growth of generative AI at such a rapid pace, the government and the public at large would start to consider who will directly and legally benefit from the outcome production of these new and developing technologies.” So why is no one talking about it?
