In 2021 Sandy Hook families won a settlement against Alex Jones InFo Wars. I was curious how long it was going to go until they received any money. Still being fought in court battle appeals, so $0.

Not exactly. So Info Wars was liberated from Jone's control and is now owned by the Onion and the revenue is setup to go towards paying the funding until all debts are settled, then presumably the Onion will just keep the revenue.

Apparently, he gives them as gifts! Nice touch! These are Woodford reserve bourbons. I don’t drink bourbon, but I think it’s considered a good brand.

Alcohol is an insidious drug
I never ever drink. It's a hard drug.
I've had relatives that were alcoholic. Alcohol sucks
It's a drug responsible for 12k unnecessary deaths a year due to drunk driving.

Hey CNBC, how did this forecast work out?
Here’s what to expect from Friday’s release of the April jobs report

Quote:

When the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its job count for April on Friday morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, it’s expected to show a gain of just 55,000....

US added 115,000 jobs in April in surprise gain amid Iran war uncertainty

I wonder how many "unnecessary" pregnancies it is responsible for?

Hello, Beer Goggles...

The Virginia democRATS are so panicked they didn't even spell "VIRGINIA" and "SENATOR" correctly in their motion to the Virginia Supreme Court requesting that they delay issuing it's mandate in the gerrymandering case.

The motion can be found HERE

On May 8, 2026, a trespasser was killed after jumping the perimeter fence and being struck by a Frontier Airlines flight during takeoff at Denver International Airport (DIA), with reports indicating they were at least partially ingested into the engine. The incident triggered an engine fire, forcing an emergency evacuation of 231 passengers and crew.

Looks like some states are acting against complaints about HOAs by enacting the equivalent of a bill of rights for homeowners. Probably not a bad idea if they get it right.

DeSantis signed a law concerning car glass replacement in 2023

Quote:

Banned Assignment of Benefits (AOB): Policyholders can no longer sign over their insurance claim rights to glass repair shops.

Prohibited Incentives: Shops are now barred from offering "inducements" like gift cards, steak dinners, or cash to customers in exchange for filing a claim.

So, I'm taking my car into the dealership yesterday for routine maintenance, and a guy who I think is one of the service guys comes up to me and starts talking about my windshield, tells me it's not original (it is) talks about more damage than there is and is trying to get me to file a claim.

Florida requires no deductible for windshield replacement. Just file a claim. He was obviously on the dealership payroll. You couldn't miss him dressed like all the other guys. The regular rep didn't show up until he had determined he wasn't going to make a sale.

Very annoyed. Of course, it took me until the next day and some research to figure out what was going on.
