"Zuckerberg wants amnesty. He wants to eat a teensy bit of crow in exchange for amnesiac friends across the aisle who treat him like the next Elon Musk who swooped in with lifeboats for the sinking ship, rather than the corrupt captain who took the ship down. This isn’t a real admission of guilt. We can’t give Mark Zuckerberg amnesty for the same reason we can’t give it to Anthony Fauci or Joe Biden or Letitia James or Jack Smith. There can be no amnesty without restitution and true accountability — for Covid crimes, corruption, lawfare, or, in this case, censorship. It’s too little, too late.
"Zuckerberg is ultimately shooting for a plea deal in the court of public opinion. He wants to throw his co-conspirators under the bus and half-heartedly admit guilt for lesser offenses with the hope of a slap on the wrist and maybe a little community service. That’s not justice, and the American people should reject it."

“Fact check; not locking down at all (like Sweden) would have saved lives in UK. Hard to believe how much money the UK spent on its sham covid inquiry.”
--Jay Bhattacharya
The UK Covid-19 Inquiry cost millions. It finally released the core political chapters of its long-awaited report. After nearly three years of hearings, millions of documents, and tens of millions of pounds spent on legal fees, the conclusion is now unmistakably clear.
They’ve learned nothing, even while watching millions suffer from lockdowns and vaccination.
Worse, they may not want to learn. The Inquiry’s structure, its analytical frame, even its carefully curated narrative all point in the same direction: away from the possibility that Britain’s pandemic response was fundamentally misguided.
Bill Madden writes, "Refusing illegal orders in the military is difficult to do because they normally are generated high in the chain of command and very few officers in the chain really know what is or is not a legal order. Immediate superiors can be very demanding and the orders are usually given in high pressure environments. Refusing an illegal military order is tantamount to whistleblowing and, as much good as it does for the concept of truth, the whistleblower’s life is made miserable as a punishment for his honesty and a warning to others."
I watched this happen with Army Spec Michael New during the Clinton years. He disobeyed an illegal Clinton order, was arrested on base in Germany, was then given an unjust, unconstitutional trial, and then a Bad Conduct Discharge. But he stood his ground the whole time and has been proven right since.
Not the personal sub;
the private American car. Americans owe $1.66 trillion in auto debt. Delinquencies just hit levels not seen since the Great Financial Crisis. Nearly 30% of all trade-ins are underwater. Average amount owed: $7,000 more than their cars are worth.
Auto loans are now a bigger consumer debt category than student loans (8.9%) and significantly larger than credit cards (6.6%).
So is that shiny late model vehicle a blessing, or a curse?
