BREAKING NEWS: Michael Mann defamation case against @MarkSteynOnline
& Simberg close to collapse after Mann's lawyers neglected to enter alleged defamatory articles into the court as evidence. Mann looking anxiously as lawyers.

Maybe they were just hiding the decline. Thanks to weft-cut loop.

The contractor who stole Trump's tax returns, and the tax returns of 1,500 other Americans, and sent them to the leftwing media for purposes of politically attacking people with their confidential tax information pleaded guilty to a single count and was sentenced to five years in prison, which he probably won't serve.

Former Internal Revenue Service contractor Charles Littlejohn was sentenced Monday to 5 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to leaking former President Donald Trump's tax records, as well as those of some of the nation's wealthiest people.

After serving his sentence, Littlejohn, 38, will have 3 years of supervised release. He will also have to pay a $5,000 fine, according to CBS News.

Littlejohn was charged in September and pleaded guilty the following month to one charge of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and information about the returns. He received the maximum sentence of 5 years on Monday.

The left is still whining that someone phished Leon Panetta's email password out of him and published some embarrassing emails about the DNC scheming to deny Bernie Sanders a fair primary in 2015-2016. This, they say, "rigged an election."

They began a global censorship crusade on the basis of this event.

But this guy? They let him plead guilty to a single count and the leftwing media never talks about his attempt to interfere with the 2020 election.

You know -- the only 100% fair and unrigged election in history.

You might say it was well "fortified," in fact.

Breitbart has the Sad! news:

Comedian Kathy Griffin is begging fans to buy tickets to her upcoming comedy tour, saying tickets are "not selling well."

Kathy Griffin put our her plea to fans in a recent video posted to her various social media accounts.

"It's all about the tour, man. Just freaking get me to opening night in Des Moines. And Omaha is not selling well. First of all, there's not enough people there," the anti-Trump comedian said. (Both Iowa and Nebraska voted heavily in favor of then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.)

"I need comedy fans to come out and see me in Kansas City. Come on! I need sell-outs. I've been through hell. I've been through so much crap since my last tour. I actually just have to laugh at it. I just have to laugh."

There's a video at the link of her begging for charity. She looks bizarre. She's had a lot of non-subtle plastic surgery.

From The Right to Bear Memes:

Ultimately, through a set of game mechanics that motivates resource extraction in the name of settling a supposed empty land, the connection between the in-game narrative and the political histories of North America and other parts of the world is clear. As historian Lorenzo Veracini says, "the Settlers of Catan is really about settler colonialism."

To win a Twitter argument about DEI, billionaire Mark Cuban admitted that he routinely hires people based on race all the time. Anyone who works for Cuban but who was fired or was not given a raise or promotion, or who was rejected for employment by Cuban's companies, can now cite his Twitter confession that not only does he make hiring decisions based on race, sex, and "gender expression," but that he's proud to do it.

Mark Cuban
@mcuban
Ive never hired anyone based exclusively on race, gender, religion.

I only ever hire the person that will put my business in the best position to succeed.

And yes, race and gender can be part of the equation. I view diversity as a competitive advantage

He then babbled about companies that engage in affirmative action hiring... for whites, which is something that simply does not happen but whatever, idiot.

An actual EEOC commissioner told him he was breaking the law:

Andrea R. Lucas
@andrealucasEEOC

@mcuban, EEOC Commissioner here. Unfortunately you're dead wrong on black-letter Title VII law. As a general rule, race/sex can't even be a "motivating factor"--nor a plus factor, tie-breaker, or tipping point. It's important employers understand the ground rules here.

I think what Cuban means is that he doesn't hire exclusively on race... but if he's serving black customers and it would help his business to have black faces serving them, he'll hire blacks. Not for their race, directly, but because their race is good for business.

Here's the trouble: A lot of businesses could say -- and indeed, did used to say -- "I'm hiring white salesmen because my customers are mostly white and feel more comfortable buying from whites." This was found to be invidious and illegal discrimination. You can't just say "well I own a basketball team and blacks like it when I discriminate against whites so I'm discriminating for business reasons, not for personal anti-white feelings."

That reasoning has been against the law for, oh, about 60 years now, Mark.

Read a fucking book, you Twitter-addicted shithead ignoramus.

Lawyers are literally trolling this thread telling people who have been denied employment or promotions at a Mark Cuban company to contact them for purposes of filing a discrimination lawsuit.

Blacks are "not enthusiastic" about proposals for reparations, despite the left making a massive push for this.

Progressive politicians are having trouble convincing Black Americans that reparations are politically feasible or possible within this generation, according to a new report.

"We have been talking about [reparations] for years, people have been fighting for this for years," Aziza Kamara-Amimi, a Californian, said at a Sunday service at San Francisco's Glide Memorial Church. "And still all we are doing is talking and talking, and I don't see any real progress being made."

"What's the real solution?" Kamara-Amimi reportedly asked.

The Washington Post reported in a story headlined, "Black Americans aren't enthusiastic about reparations yet," that some pro-reparations activists are concerned that Black support is too low for reparations to make it a serious political possibility.

"If Black residents, who make up 6.5 percent of California residents, don't believe in reparations enough to apply political pressure on state leaders, the movement could stall, advocates worry," the outlet reported.

Thanks to redridinghood.
