The Stupid Party
Timothy Birdnow
It's hard to appreciate how stupid the Republicans truly are.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS PLAN TO SCALE BACK TRUMP TAX CUTS.
The GOP, the party of tax cuts, wants to eliminate Trump's proposed elimination of taxes on tips, on overtime, and on the elderly.
If we learned nothing else from Ronald Reagan - or Bill Clinton, or Geoerge W. Bush, or Donald Trump - we should at least have learned that tax cuts spur economic growth and lead to a greater return to the treasury than high tax RATES. If high tax rates worked than a 100% tax would lead to an unparalleled boom. It doesn't; it leads to economic stagnation.
If these Republicans are so worried about the deficit why aren't they talking about a bigger recission bill?
That would cut the deficit, not squeezing social security recipients and below minimum wage workers.
This will bite the GOP in the posterior. If they ruin this they will lose those seniors and bartenders and waitresses many in the coalition that put Trump in power. This could cost them Congress, or a big chunk of it anyway.
By it's very definition taxes are immoral. They are a form of theft, stealing money from one individual and giving it to another. Of course politicians all love to tax and then "return" it; it grants them power. Anybody who doesn't play ball will be taxed and will wither.
Lyndon Johnson understood this. He actually did a tax cut to get churches of of politics; you either stayed out or were taxed into oblivion.It was a scheme that worked beautifully; most churches stopped any and all political activity lest they lose the tax exemption. It were these churches who had stopped his Great Society socialism scheme until he made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
So the best policy is to limit taxes. I would add if you refuse to pay taxes you will be punished with fines, and if you refuse to pay fines you will be arrested, and if you refuse to be arrested well....
The state holds the power of the sword. And will use it if you tell them to just leave you alone.
So any tax cut is a good tax cut by and large. Taxes are theft by another name. That's why mafiosa call their shakedowns "taxes".
Republicans used to understand that.
I wonder if these Republicans aren't trying to kill this for this very reason. They have always hated Trump and MAGA, at least the country club/RINO wing. If Trump succeeds then they are going to play second fiddle to the benighted yahoos whom they disdain. They have always thought us rubes and hillbillies in need of their superior guidance.
So wrecking the Trump agenda would serve THEIR interests,but not ours, and not the President's.
If not they are the stupidest people alive. I don't believe that.
Now Mike Johnson got HIS caucus in line, much to his credit (we all know how little I respect Johnson). But here we have Senators like Rand Paul who are ready to blow everything up for a tax INCREASE! It's truly astonishing.
In yet more proof the GOP is mentally incompetent and should be sharing a psyc ward with Joe Biden, Republican Mark Amodie plans to block any cuts to PBS/NPR. After decades of lying and bashing the GOP we have this idiot standing in the way of finally ending their tax funding. Pathetic.

Actually it' the inverse; the riots are an outgrowth of the sickness that gave us senile Joe in the first place.

The New Comancheria
Timothy Birdnow
The Destroy Connecticut Towns Act.
Liberals are waging war on normalcy, decency, and peaceful living in their hatred of orthodoxy and Christian values.
Democrats across the country are implementing laws Biden tried to put in place that forces communities to "desegregate" their neighborhoods with low income housing and special services for such people, including transportation and food and medical services, all in the name of "diversity".
Now here we won at the national level yet the Left just proceeds as if they are still in power. Sadly they are in many states.
As I've pointed out before, this is a political weapon. It is a way to gerrymander republican districts; if you can't do it with ridiculous congressional boundaries you can simply colonize areas you want to take over. When enough Republicans move away you control the district. The idea is to either move Republicans into districts they own completely or to scatter then into pockets in Democrat districts.
And at the same time it's about social engineering. I remember long ago, when the schools were first integrated and white people were moving into the suburbs to get away from the crime that came with this, the Left said "don't think we'll allow you to run away to your suburban communities" and subsequently came after the suburbs. Busing followed. So did the construction of low income housing in affluent or middle class neighborhoods.
When I was growing up there was a community called Glasgow Village that was clean and nice, a middle class neighborhood. This sat on top of the bluffs of the Mississippi river. The bluff edge itself features some very nice homes (they had spectacular views) and a wonderful amusement park (featuring a rollercoaster that did a hairpin turn hanging off the bluff, making your heart nearly stop as you dangled over a lethal drop).
Anyway, they built some apartments along the bluff edge and those quicly became the residency of a collection of poor people on government assistance. Then someone burned the amusement park down. The government cleared it away and - built low income housing. This has been a nice, clean suburban bedroom community but crime started seeping in. It got worse and worse. Now this is one of the very worst neighborhoods in the whole St. Louis metropolitan area, and there are shootings there almost daily. Many of the little frame homes are boarded up or burned out. The police pretty much stay out of it. Leftist intergrationism utterly destroyed a beautiful area, one of the best spots in the whole city. Those bluff-edge lots could have been sold to build high end housing for big bucks.
I don't know what's happened to the high end homes that used to be there. They were some dandies! Private drives and beautiful structures. But who wants to live in a nice home inside the Comancheria?
That's what they are trying to do to all of America. It's a hatred of our culture, or our peaceful and pleasant way of life. These people are monsters who hate every one of us.

Indiana Teachers Forced toResign Over 8647
Timothy Birdnow
This is a heartwarming story. A radical hippie chick school teacher was forced to resign after wearing a tee shirt that said "8647" to a school field trip to the nation's capitol. The teacher, Tonja Luken, was employed until she quit by Indiana's Middlebury Community Schools. She made the foolish mistake of posting herself in the shirt on social media (which she has since deleted.)
BTW Tonja is a Russian name. I wonder if she wasn't a child of Soviet agents? She was an English teacher who studied at Western Michigan and was originally from Mishawaka.
At any rate the radical Tonja tried to argue that the field trip wasn't a school activity, even though it clearly was sponsored by the school. School officials stated that the code is quite clear; any time a teacher is representing the school they must be politically neutral.
Luken clearly knew the jig was up. She resigned.
This is right and proper. A qualification for working as a teacher in many schools is a voluntary surrender of one's free speech rights while on the employer's dime. Everyone knows the ropes - or should anyway. And '86 is colloquial slang for kill or destroy.
But even if it's not it was clearly openly political in violation of the contract she signed. Oh, and was wearing it to the Capitol, which is just trying to stir up trouble.
The Left has to be taught that they no longer can do as they please. Rules that apply to us apply to them as well.
I would have favored firing a teacher wearing a MAGA hat too.
At any rate the times they are a-changin'. Get used to being one of the crowd liberals!

Illegal Alien in Minnesota Congress
Timothy Birdnow
"It's no fun, being an illegal alien!"
Genesis, 1983
A Minnesota state representative admits to being an illegal alien in violation of both state and federal law.
She needs to be put on ICE.
THIS is where the Democrats have gone; proudly proclaiming their are openly flipping the bird to the law.
She's trying to walk this back now that she realizes it could actually get her deported, but the genie is out of the bottle. I suppose she figured it would help her "street creds" and nobody would go after her. She thought wrong.
Of course if the authorities do go after her she'll become the poster child for the pro-illegals, and will be "proof" the Trump Administration is simply punishing it's political enemies. The law doesn't much matter to them.
Butif that's the way they want to play it so be it. Time to stop pussy footing around, time to make the law applicable to everyone, not just to the working and middle classes.

From the Halls of Montezuma
Timothy Birdnow
From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of East L.A.!
Trump Deploys 500-700 Marines to Help Squash Anti-ICE Los Angeles Riots
I am mindful of the invasion of Grenada by the Marines during the Reagan years. The media painted it as American imperialism but when the students at the med school there got home they literally kissed the ground. The Marines saved their lives.
Granted these Marines will mostly be in support roles, but if they have to go into the fray this is exactly the kind of fighting Marines are trained to do. If nothing else it puts the Left in the unenviable position of hating on American troops (which is why they were so adamant that nothing be sent, and failing that just some poorly trained National Guardsman.)
No doubt Judge Bozoberg, er, Boasberg, is preparing an injunction as we speak, but should still come out ahead politically for this action. I have little doubt some Democrat judge will issue an injunction against this as a violation of Posse Comitatus.
That's why these Marines will see no action. They are there purely as a show of force.
And this will force the Democrats to attack the U.S. Marine Corps (that's pronounced CORE Mr. Obama.) Americans aren't going to like that.

Haters Gotta Hate, Hate, Hate
Timothy Birdnow
In any dying military campaign there comes a moment when those who are losing throw everything they have into the fight in a desperate attempt to get the boot off their throats. In WWII we saw the Germans attack at the Bulge, for instance. In Vietnam there was the(unfortunately successful) Tet Offensive. (Declassified Vietnamese documents show the Communists were desperate and defeated and they were AMAZED when American news sources started saying the war was lost.) We had Lee's campaign at Gettysburg. I could go on.
That's why I wonder if these riots (and the people fomentting them plan to take them nationwide, promising to riot all over the country during the planned military parade celebrating America's 250th birthday) aren't throwing everything into this now. The Ruling Class knows they need a game changer. This is high risk; normal Americans hate this kind of lawlessness and anarchy,but they need to do it to create a mood of chaos and then hope to say "see!" and turn people against Trump, just as they did before with riots.
Also,they are looking for an incident. They need a shooting by the authorities, a kind of Boston Massacre to ignite their side and cow ours.
What I want to know is, who is funding this? Organizing this? This is in no way organic.Look at the "protesters"; they are clearly a rent-a-mob, with professional agitators in the mix. We see LGBTQ radicals along with Pro-Hamas people and public service unions. Illegal aliens of course. Criminal drug and human trafficking thugs too. The usual coalition that shows up to every riot.
Now Trump was wise not letting this get out of control, and we need arrests and very public trials. But he also needs to systematically go after the organizers and funders to the fullest extent of the law. I for one would like to see the whole Soros family indicted.
Chris Cillizza on News Nation warned Democrats "they will not win" and that it was "collosolly stupid" for them to stand with illegal alien rioters. But I think Cillizza is wrong, or at least he misses the point. The rioting protesters are not supposed to win; they are cannon fodder. They are supposed to raise hell, depress and sour the rising optimism of this Golden Age (as Trump calls it) and to make Americans yearn for the simpler times when the Ruling Class had absolulte power and governed us as fathers govern their children. The Democrats can profit from this by standing firm, they believe. Remember,in politics it's not about the will of the People but of the fear or confidence of the corporate and governmental classes. THEY are the real rulers of America.
Cillizza is just looking at this through the prism of politics. This transcends politics.
BTW I would argue the strategies being employed against Trump are tried and true. I would suggest that the turmoil and chaos of the '60's never seeped into most Americans either,but it made most people give in just to return to "normalcy". This is how all revolutions work; wreck everything and then offer a way out - a way out which is in handing the people who wtecked it all power.
As Glenn Beck observed yesterday, this is in fact a color revolution. While he didn't point his finger directly at the CIA or other such agencies I think it's pretty clear; the CIA was the genesis of almost all color revolutions. They are using the exact same tactics on our government now.
I wonder how many covert agents are in that crowd?
At any rate all leftist revolutions use these same tactics and they generally work. Often the only way to stop it is by cracking down; it's where military dictatorships are born.
The Democratic Party are now nothing but traitors and revolutionaries and haters of America.

Iranian Espionage and Israeli Nukes
Timothy Birdnow
Iran claims it has stolen documents on Israel's nuclear weapons program and plans to share it.
FTA:
(Zero Hedge)—Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib is claiming Tehran has acquired a "treasure trove” of sensitive Israeli documents, including information on Israel’s secret (but long not-so-secret) nuclear weapons program, as well as apparent evidence of US and European knowledge and support.
"The transfer of this treasure trove was time-consuming and required security measures. Naturally, the transfer methods will remain confidential, but the documents should be unveiled soon,” Khatib said. He vowed to make them public, at which point this could force either an Israeli or US official statement.
Iranian state TV unveiled the alleged clandestine operation on Saturday, though no evidence was provided. Additionally, Israel has yet to acknowledge anything regarding theft of its files, which may have occurred through a cyber-breach.
fin
I wouldn't think they would lie about this as they are now forced to put up or shut up. Israel's silence, on the other hand, makes perfect sense.
Of course we've all long suspected Israel had nukes.That is no surprise.
The point is Israel has never used nukes, not even under the worst provocation. Iran no doubt wants to claim Israeli nukes justifies their own program,but we all know Iran is and remains an aggressor, funding the worst sorts of terrorism in the region. They would use them if they saw a tactical advantage to doing so.
And now Israel will have to respond in kind with some sort of cyber attack.
The temperature keeps rising and sooner or later....
The Associated Press reporting on Khatib’s words strongly points to cyber espionage, given the US-sanctioned intelligence chief’s background:

UFL Semifinals
Timothy Birdnow
Sunday the St.Louis Battlehawks football team were utterly humiliated by the District of Columbia Defenders in the UFL finals. The Battlehawks, which ledthe league in most things, mow has to face the humiliation of having the Defenders play for the chapionship in their own house.
The championship is played in the stadium which has the most fans, and it's been in St. Louis since the league was formed.Game attendance is higher here than anywhere else.
I really don't know what happened to the BH; they just collapsed early on and could get nothing right. Their defense was impotent and their offense was just plain lame.
It probably would have been a shutout had it not been for an unforced turnover in the first half. Yes,they scored a few niggling points after that but even those probably wouldn't have happened without that first score.
The final tally was 36 to 18, but that was not indicative of the game, which was a wipeout that made Jimmy Carter's defeat by Ronald Reagan look neck-in-neck.
Quarterback Max Duggan was replaced by Brandon Silvers in a desperate attempt to ignite the offense. Silvers is known as a passing QB. Buthe was injured and Duggan, who clearly didn't have it Sunday night, went back in to face the slaughter.
The Defenders won the XFL League and now go for the UFL championship against the (Detroit) Michigan Panthers, so there really is nobody to cheer for as both represent places we as Conservatives do not like.
Pity.

Rising Sea?
Bill H.
Just for giggles, look at a photograph of the Statue of Liberty in 1890 and another in 2025, 135 years later. Did the statue's base somehow levitate? Or did sea level, perhaps, not rise perceptibly?

Drought Caused by Warming?
This from Tony Heller at Realclimate:
Tim adds:
At the core of climate change theory is the proposition that a warming atmosphere caused by increasesin co2 will lead to greater evaporation of groundwater/seawater which in turn adds a strong greenhouse effect. All climate models called for a "warmer, wetter world" yet here we are being told it's cooler and dryer because of "climate change". That is, of course, why they dropped the term Global Warming in the firstplace; it did not comport with observation.
The New York Times says drought in the Great Plains is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
"It’s Not Just Poor Rains Causing Drought. The Atmosphere Is ‘Thirstier.’
Higher temperatures caused by climate change are driving complex processes that make droughts bigger and more severe, new research shows.”
It’s Not Just Poor Rains Causing Drought. The Atmosphere Is ‘Thirstier.’ – The New York Times
There isn’t any indication that droughts have become more severe or more common in the Great Plains.

Yup.
Yup.
I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!

The Goods on Fauci
Timothy Birdnow
Kash Patel says the FBI has seized Anthony FAuci's devices and suggests there is smoking gun evidence of wrongdoing by the Fauc.
Is it any wonder why Biden gave him a pre-emptive general pardon?
The big question is, can this pardon be revoked? Most likely not. I suspect it wouldn't be possible even if it could be proven that the autopen signed it and not Joe Biden.
But that doesn't mean there can't be consequences. Fauci's pension could be revoked. His business dealings could be investigated and any little irregularities could be held to account. But more importantly anyone complicit with him in the Covid scandal could be arrested and charged. You could make Fauci a pariah. His reputation could be ruined.
That must happen. Fauci openly flaunted the law and subborned others to break it too and there must be punishment so nobody else tries to pull this again. The only way for the law to be followed is to make transgressions punishable. Now people make occasional lapses - do it all the time. Heck, most Americans have broken the law at some point; driven faster than the speed limit, or failed to use their directional signal, or took an iffy tax deduction. But what Fauci did led to the death of millions of people and threatened to overturn our entire Democracy. It was one of the largest crimes in history. He has to be made to be an example.

Newsom the Tax Cheat
Timothy Birdnow
You go to prison for tax evasion.
Gavin Newsom Threatens to Withhold Billions in Federal Tax Dollars
I suppose he thinks this is like the Federal government withholding subsidies which California does not deserve and that he should be able to break the law and get away with it.
Good luck with that.

Harris' Ties to Organizers of L.A. Riots
Timothy Birdnow
We know Kamala had ties to the terrorist Angela Davis after all.
Kamala has Ties to Group Organizing L.A. Riots
This is a planned play, an act by the Left to try to sour the public on Trump just as they did during his last term. They figure he will make the same mistake, allowing it to burn so as to avoid giving his enemies anything with which to beat him.
They would be wrong.
The primary organizers of this is a churlish group called CHIRLA and Harris is on record saying she ran for the Senate because of their "mission". She met with them while she was Veep too.
Oh, and another organization that is helping to set up these riots is Ac Blue, the infamous Democratic fundraising machine.
Trying to stop these kinds of things without going after the organizers is an exercise in futility. It's like fighting an insurgency by waiting for the insurgents to come to a battlefield. We lost Vietnam because we did that, we let them have a sanctuary. If anyone wants to stop things like these riots they first must cut the head off the snake.
Kamala and any number of Democrats want this. And as such they should face the full consequences of their rebellion.

Genesis of the Trump Musk Feud
Timothy Birdnow
So why did this blowup occur between Musk and Trump? Here's why.
That is a very good reason to chuck the friend of Chuck's. Gor might well have done America a good service here.
Trump apparently still hasn't fully learned his lesson; you can no more put Democrats in positions of authority in your adminisstration than you can sleep with rattle snakes in your sleeping bag. Inevitably they will bite you.
As head of NASA this Isaacman guy would likely have reinforced all the things that NASA has been doing to America; all the "climate change" lies will be front and center as this guy would likely begin pushing that particular agenda and fudging data as NASA has repeatedly been caught doing. He'll likely support Netzero emissions and other idiocies. He probably would support DEI hiring at NASA.
We have to cut these kinds of people completely out of power; they always metastasize when they have any authority.
And I mean really; the man's name is Gor. We all remember Al Gore, don't we? What an inconvenient goof.
So why did this blowup occur between Musk and Trump? Here's why.
In a lengthy piece, the New York Post took readers behind the scenes at the White House to identify a top Trump staffer who’d been "fanning flames” of conflict between the two.
And Musk and the staffer had been at loggerheads for months, the Post reported.
Citing interviews with five unidentified sources, described as "inside or close to the White House,” the Post reported that Sergio Gor, the director of presidential personnel, was known to have been involved in an ongoing feud with Musk dating back to even before Trump’s inauguration in January.
During the presidential transition period, Musk had described Gor as "sleazy,” according to the Post, and "questioning his staffing picks.”
At a March 6 cabinet meeting, the paper reported, Musk attacked Gor in front of the president.
"Elon was always telling the president ‘Sergio’s not moving fast enough to hire people. He’s not the right guy for the job,’” one source told the Post. "In front of the entire cabinet, he said that. It’s not just humiliating, but the president starts looking at him like, ‘Why aren’t you doing your f***ing job?’”
For his part, Gor made a habit of mocking Musk, according to the Post, especially when stock dropped in Tesla, Musk’s electric vehicle company. He would also "plant” negative stories about Musk, one source told the Post.
"Elon was, like, his obsession, and he would plant a story on Elon and he would send me the link and then send me a screenshot of Tesla’s stock price with a laughing face,” the source said, according to the Post. "I own Tesla stock, so this is not a good thing for me!
[...]
The tipping point of the feud, however, came on Saturday when Trump announced he was pulling the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a space entrepreneur personal friend of Musk, to be the head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Isaacman’s nomination had already been approved by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which oversees NASA, and, according to Axios, his eventual confirmation by the full Senate was all but assured.
Gor was "instrumental” in getting Trump to pull the nomination, according to the Post.
And that Trump decision, as the Post put it, turned "a contained disagreement on legislation into a firestorm of insults.”
Gor’s reasoning for opposing Isaacman was his past support of Democrats, according to the Post. In 2021, for instance, he gave $100,000 to a PAC supporting then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Eggnominious
Timothy Birdnow
We never had this problem when Joe Biden was in office! He made sure nobody HAD any eggs...
Salmonella outbreak tied to eggs sickens dozens
I remember the old days of the Soviet Union; they often bragged about how they didn't have all the problems we Westernors had to deal with, like teen pregnancy or protests or drug abuse. Of course the reason they didn't have those was because kids were too busy just trying to survive and had no time to get into any trouble. Sure it solves the problem but at what cost?

Murkowski Censored (Again)
Timothy Birdnow
Good.
Lisa Murkowski Censured Again by Alaska Republicans
They should expel her from the party entirely.
Murkowski is up for re-election in '28 and the GOP needs to start laying the groundwork for removing her. Among these should be the elimination of ranked choice voting and open primaries. While the state barely kept them in '24 there is a movement to put them on the ballot again next year. IF the GOP works hard to get them I suspect they can win in a revote. Murkowski won re-election in '22 in no small part because of ranked choice voting (where people rank their top choices, not just make one choice, and the top vote-getter of those wins. This empowers the incumbents because they always have higher name recognition and while they may come in second or third overall they will do better in ranking for second or third choice than some unknown .)
Murkowski has been a corrupt fence, straddling junior Democrat for years as was her father.
Alaska is an odd state politically; despite the fact the residents are proud of being independent and hearty they seem to love big government and though they vote Republican oftentimes the kind of Republicans they like are the most noxious of RINO globalists. I suppose it's because many Alaskans are too busy working to stay alive and want freebies from government, which RINO's are almost as willing to give as Democrats. So they reject the reallyi crazy stuff from the Democrats but want the social spending.
In Alaska residents all receive dividend checks for the sale of Alaskan oil and gas, for instance. This does lead to abuse and oftentimes punishment. (The show Alaskan Bush People had to be temporarily suspended when two of the family members went to prison for stealing the dividend by living in the lower 48 but claiming permanent Alaskan residency, for instance.) There are multiple other such programs. And many Alaskans like the state being mostly empty - it's why they moved there - so they ignore the draconian regulations imposed by the Feds, or the fact the Feds own much of Alaska.
At any rate Murkowski is the twin sister of Liz Chaney and she needs to go.
Good.

The Fatuous Mr. Williams
Timothy Birdnow
On Fox News Sunday the Idiot aka Juan Williams called deploying active marines to help in the L.A. riots "Gestapo tactics". What a complete moron!
Posse Comitatus was a law passed in 1878, as part of the ending of Reconstruction. It forbade the deployment of Federal soldiers inside the United States EXCEPT when expressly authorized by law.
Those exceptions include deploying troops in a case of insurrection where the governor of the state refuses to suppress it. A revolt by illegal aliens over deportations can clearly be catagorized as an insurrection. The law also provides for the suppression of any violent activity that is aimed at interferes with the execution of state or federal laws that deprive a class of people constitutional rights. This fits that qualification - native born Americans are being deprived of their rights by alien rioters.
Also, apparently the fatuous Mr. Williams doesn't realzie the Gestapo had NO TIES to the Wehrmacht. None. They ran their own operations. They were a civilian secret police and the German army did not have to do anything they said. Granted, it was a bit dangerous to tell the Gestapo to go pound sand, but it could be done.
The buffoon Williams doesn't realize that this would be American soldiers being depployed, not some private organization, or even an entity under the Bureaucracy. While Trump may be Commander in Chief these are professional soldiers and they will not carry out an illegal order.
But it's par for the course for lefties to dredge up Naziism whenever they lack any solid argument and Williams is no exception.
The reality is it is the Democrats who more readily comport with the Nazis. Whether it is their economic view of a quasi-private market entirelly regulated by the government, or the idea of big public works projects, or the state suppression of free speech (remember Biden's campaigns to suppress conservatives online and with the IRS and with his "misinformation office"?) or their environmentalism (the Nazis were proto-environmentalists) or with their obsession with race and their obsession with public health or with their attempts to twist the vote and steal power. But a guy like Williams is just a mouthpiece and cannot understand any of this; he's just going to employ this shibboleth because the Left has co-opted the moral high ground, claiming Nazis are "right wing" when in fact they are solidly in the camp of the Left. Why, pray tell, did the Communists cheer for them "first Brown then Red" they used to say. They understood Naziism as the stepping stone between free markets and socialism Shoot; socialist is even in their names!
So Williams is a complete and utter waste of space on FNS, but he's there most weeks anyway. Sadly nobody makes it their business to destroy his logic as I have just done. El Zoro Noticias Domingo is just a love letter to the mainstream media by and large.
