1. This is par for the course, and not nearly as bad as Biden's first Covid Relief Bill, which included large amounts to help NPR and the Kennedy Center recover from Covid; each promptly made a "donation" to the DNC equal to ten percent of the aid.

2. I did a shallow dive on the Board of Directors of the Clinton Foundation. The overwhelming majority had been convicted of serious crimes; most of the rest were under indictment.

3. Hillary's largest contributor to her Senate campaign was Bernie Madoff.

This story is barely on the radar.

I couldn't agree more, Brad. But also, I have to say that reading your work always improves my vocabulary. I had to look up amanuensis. I love your writing!

Jenny Leonard, Taylor Lorenz and the other Karens of the Corporate State are a cross bw the cast of "Mean Girls" and a Soviet commissar. They will uhh like totally make sure to destroy the lives and careers of any gross loser stupid enough to not know all the proper beliefs of the cool kids, any creep lame enough to dissent from what everyone on their side believes. All Good People think and act exactly as they do and anyone who doesn't is suspicious and likely evil!

Our Diet Lite Totalitarianism is a much smarter and softer upgrade on the old 20th century brutal kind: instead of Big Brother demanding total obedience we have Big Sister, who works through moral bullying and emotional blackmail, and just wants everyone on earth to feel safe and brimming with self-esteem. And if all else fails she can always full back on her superweapon: crying in public until she gets her way.

If you know, who in the government would be looking into this if they decided to look into it?

The SEC, FTC, and DOJ. What I think will happen is that a nominal investigation will take place but it'll be drawn out and simply fade into the background given all the noise in the political arena on any given day. In other words, nothing will come of it.
