Major News Networks Skipped Live Carriage
Of Donald Trump’s YUGE Ohio Rally
Donald Trump’s latest rally was another greatest hits of media attacks,
2020 election falsehoods and whining about his grievances,
and while it drew a large in-person crowd in Wellington, Ohio,
it did’t get an audience on the three major cable news networks.
The reason:
They refused to carry it 
This included FOX NEWS which stayed with its Saturday night lineup
of Watters World and Justice with Judge Jeanine.

Charlottesville begins taking down Confederate statues
and its about time !
those confederates soldiers may have been heroes to the slave owners of the old south but in addition to supporting slavery and racism they faught against the USA . that made them traitors , not heroes to b honored
i say take down all the statues paying homage to traitors and offer them for sale at exhorbitant prices to any who will sign a legal agreement that they may only display them on their own property away from public view or in a museum .
cash rasied from the sales could b used to help cover expenses of the refugees in afghanistan who served the US forces there and r now fleeing for their lives

I agree. There's no place in the public domain anymore to HONOR those who defended the right to slavery and fought against our country.

Crowds in Charlottesville Cheer
As Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson Statues Are Removed
Charlottesville, Virginia has now removed two Confederate statues
that were the source of controversy and the objects of both public debate
and actual litigation since 2017’s infamous so-called ‘Unite the Right’ rally,
by white supremacist groups, which led to the death of a female counter-protester.

Trump lawyers might be penalized
over Michigan election case
DETROIT (AP) — A federal judge is considering whether to order
financial penalties or other sanctions against some of former
President Donald Trump's lawyers who signed onto a lawsuit last year
challenging Michigan's election results.
The lawsuit alleging widespread fraud was voluntarily dropped after
a judge in December found nothing but “speculation and conjecture”
that votes for Trump somehow were destroyed or switched to votes
for Joe Biden.
Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the city of Detroit now want
the plaintiffs and a raft of attorneys, including Trump allies
Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood, to face the consequences of
pursuing what they call frivolous claims.
“It was never about winning on the merits of the claims,
but rather (the) purpose was to undermine the integrity
of the election results and the people’s trust in the electoral
process and in government,” the AG's office said in a court filing.
There is NO evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Indeed, election officials from BOTH political parties have stated publicly
that the election went well, and international observers confirmed
there were no serious irregularities.

The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
Why haven’t Democrats been forced to change the name of their Party?

suing them for filing frivolous lawsuits has merit but even so unlikely to go anywhere

Home buying, used cars spur inflation
Surging prices for used cars have been a major driver of inflation this year.
Now, there are signs those price hikes may be shifting into reverse —
and that could provide important clues about where inflation is headed next.
While retail prices for used cars still surged in June, the fall in WHOLESALE prices
suggest that what consumers pay will likely start to fall soon.
Such an easing in prices would be consistent with the Federal Reserve's argument
that the recent surge in consumer prices is likely to fade as pandemic bottlenecks
are resolved and demand returns to more normal levels.
It's a view that's shared by many economists
In short, if you are not shopping for a used car (majority of Americans are not) and
if you are not shopping for a new home (majority of Americans are not) then
outside of those two, the current inflation is minor and should be short-lived

This is the ultimate question, will it?
Housing has been surging for years, not just this year. Ever since covid shut the economy down, people have been fleeing major cities (blue states and cities) for the suburbs looking for more space (to get out of blue areas). Major cities are losing values while suburbs are gaining value. People are fleeing major democratic cities and states in record numbers to red states/cities. Moving companies were having trouble with keeping trucks. People are looking to move towards freedom and away from hypocritical govt control.

yep good points
aside from homes and used cars there is some inflation sure ,but there is some inflation every year .
aside from cars and homes this is no biggie . i can deal with temp spikes in fuel prices . these r influenced largely by forces outside the usa . historically there have always been ups and downs . gas prices will plunge again in the fall . a few extra pennies for eggs and milk is just not a big deal for most

MOSCOW/DUBAI (Reuters) - OPEC+ ministers plan to hold their next meeting
on Sunday to decide on output policy, three sources within the producers
group told Reuters on Saturday.
The development comes after Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
reached a compromise last week in a dispute over OPEC+ policy,
in a move that should unlock a deal to supply more crude to a tight oil market
and cool soaring prices.

CNN announces CNN+ 
A bid to keep up with changing consumer demands.
While tens of millions of people access CNN through a subscription to a cable or
satellite television bundle, all cable -- and broadcast -- networks have taken a hit
due to cord-cutting in recent years, and the popularity of products like Netflix has
shown the growing appeal of streaming alternatives.
CNN can't just sell its current live programming via streaming due to lucrative and
long-term deals with cable distributors.
So CNN is effectively building a parallel track, right next to its existing TV track,
to serve both existing cable subscribers who want additional programming and
customers who don't have cable at all.
Zucker framed it this way in his statement:
"On top of a television offering that has never been stronger, which
remains at the core of what we do today, we will offer consumers a
streaming product that grows the reach and scope of the CNN brand
in a way that no one else is doing. Nothing like this exists."
How long before the trump propaganda network tucks tail and follows??

Federal judge upholds Indiana University's
Covid-19 vaccination requirements
"Recognizing the students' significant liberty to refuse unwanted
medical treatment, the Fourteenth Amendment permits Indiana
University to pursue a reasonable and due process of vaccination
in the legitimate interest of public health for its students, faculty,
and staff," Judge Damon Leichty wrote in the 101-page ruling.

The US Supreme Court has long held that states and public schools
*CAN* mandate vaccinations.
Judge Leichty's ruling pointed out the state of Indiana's longstanding
requirements for other vaccinations prior to going to school.
"Indiana requires all public university students to be vaccinated
for diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, and
meningococcal disease before attending school. All but
one of these vaccinations have been required since 1993,"
the ruling said.
