Trump Sues the New York Times for Defamation, Seeking $15 Billion

Plus, Quick Hits.

The number is, let's be serious, notional at best. But I don't mind trying to bring some pain to these organizations.

Shock: College students (left-wingers) support using violence to stop people from speaking on campus.

College students are growing more tolerant of using force to stop viewpoints they dislike, and less tolerant of campus visitors with viewpoints at either end of the political spectrum, according to an annual survey of nearly 70,000 students by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and College Pulse.

More than a third of students would "at least rarely" accept the use of violence to stop a campus speech (34%), 10 percentage points higher than its 2021 survey, while majorities would block other students from attending such a speech (54% versus 41% in 2021) and shout down a speaker (71% from 66%), all "record highs."

"For the first time ever" since it started the surveys, expanding from 55 campuses in 2020 to 257 in this report, most students say their schools should block speakers who hold any of six views associated with the left or right on hot-button cultural issues, FIRE said Tuesday.

The view they are most willing to tolerate is "Children should be able to transition [identify as the opposite sex, socially or medically] without parental consent," the only one of the six to command a majority in last year's report. This year it's 49%.

The least likely to be tolerated: "Black Lives Matter is a hate group," at 24%. The others: "Transgender people have a mental disorder" (25%), "The Catholic Church is a pedophilic institution" and "The police are just as racist as the Ku Klux Klan" (both 38%), and "Abortion should be completely illegal" (40%). Each fell several points from last year.

Terrific: The Georgia official who constantly denies any election irregularities in Georgia is now running for governor.

As a "Republican."

Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday launched his campaign to run for governor.

"I'm a conservative Republican, and I'm prepared to make the tough decisions. I follow the law and the Constitution, and I'll always do the right thing for Georgia no matter what," Raffensperger said in his campaign launch video.

A Facebook group about breastfeeding has banned the words "mamas" and "ladies" because they don't want to offend the transgender chest-feeders, who might murder them if they refuse to buckle.

James Esses @JamesEsses

Facebook group for breastfeeding women, with over 57,000 members, has banned 'gendered language'.

Posts that begin "hey ladies" or "hey mamas" will be immediately deleted.

This is the continued erasure of the concept of womanhood and motherhood.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

The left is shrieking about Trump walking in front of "King" Charles, just like they freaked out about Trump dumping his fish food into the koi pond when walking with the Japanese PM.

And as in that case: Trump was following the lead of the leader he was meeting with. It's actually protocol for the guest to walk first before the "king."

The media has lied and gaslighted that a MAGA member killed the MAGA hero Charlie Kirk, and their braindead audience believes them:

The op worked, John Sexton reports.

But you have to give the far left credit. Starting last week, they set their minds on convincing as many people as possible that Kirk's killer was a Republican and polling shows it worked.

[Sacramento Bee:]

In the poll, a slim majority of respondents, 51%, said they believe Kirk's killer was motivated by political beliefs. Twenty-one percent said they were fueled by "something other than political beliefs" and 28% said they were not sure...

Twenty-four percent said that, as far as they know, the person who shot Kirk is a Republican, while 21% said the shooter is a Democrat. Fifteen percent said the killer is affiliated with neither major party, and a plurality, 40%, said they're not sure.

Kash Patel trumpeted his own successes as Director of the FBI -- while noting Biden's and Wray's failure.

"Under this administration, the FBI has arrested more than 23,000 violent criminals," Patel said. "Twenty-three thousand in seven months. That's twice as many year to date last year. We've taken over six thousand firearms off the streets. Six thousand guns are no longer in the hands of criminals in seven months."

"We've identified and found and located 4,700 child victims, that is a 35 percent increase year to date, last year, he added. "We've arrested 1,500 child predators, that is a 10 percent increase year to date last year in just seven months. We've assisted our partners with countless counter-terrorism operations around the world. We've captured at the FBI four of the most top 10 wanted fugitives in the world in seven months."

"To put that in perspective, that's as many as my predecessor nabbed in the entirety of the Biden administration," Patel continued. "On top of that, thanks to the help of the CIA, we collected and captured one of the individuals responsible for the horrific Abbey Gate bombing that led to the murder of 13 service members. We did that in two weeks. They didn't do it in the four years of the prior administration."

Pudgy loudmouth Jasmine Rachet wasn't convinced.
