I do remember Jason and Harris back in KC. When Whitlock was writing for the KC Star for 16 years from '94 to 2010, I often agreed with him, and sought him out because I thought of him as edgy, and willing to go where others wouldn't... I'll never forget learning about 9/11 from Whitlock on my radio on my way to work.

I don't recall that Harris was at all political when she was in KC, from '92-2000? We lived in the same apt building in downtown KC in Quality Hill. I lived in the penthouse suite, better known as "the top floor", and would see her coming and going. She's a tall, attractive woman, but apparently cray cray*.


*which is not to say that a "cray cray" woman is always a bad thing.
Faulkner was a straight up news anchorwoman back then as I recall. Her ascension to the throne has been pretty remarkable. I would not have predicted this for her based upon her air time in KC.

I always wonder if the cray cray is for the dollars or for realz.

Well known fact, Leawood swore by cray cray girls.

Little know fact, he used to send me the selfies they took and sent to him. I would bust them out at Solstice but they all disappeared when his phone went dead.
I saw the worst minds of my generation empowered by madness, bloated farcical naked,
dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.

That's a loss so profound, I wish you hadn't told me 'cause I'll never be unable to unnot see them.

I remember them both as well. Faulkner seemed pretty sane at the time.

Lying is the biggest growth industry in 'Merica. Harris wants to ride that red wave!

Is there a Disinformation Index Fund out there I can invest in?

Not an "index fund", but if you aren't averse to investing in individual stocks:

Fox Corporation, stock symbol: FOX

But, I'd think twice before buying it. Because, although no one would argue that "Disinformation" isn't a growth industry, we learned back in Nov. 2020 that FOX has very little moat* when it comes to its competition if it doesn't feed its cult the "Disinformation" it wants to hear. The same is potentially true with the loss of its preeminent fountain of feces, Tucker Carlson, who presents a significant potential threat to their business model.

And, that's not to mention that FOX trades today for ~ $31.57, down ~ 18% compared to its IPO price of $38.50 4 years ago in March of 2019.

*moat: An essential component of Warren Buffett's investment strategy is his focus on what he calls "moats." In business, a moat refers to a competitive advantage that allows a company to earn outsized profits. Like its namesake—a water-filled ditch—Buffett's moat refers to a defensive barrier, but instead of protecting a castle, it helps prevent a company's profits from being eroded by competitors.

Identifying businesses that have moats is central to Buffett's strategy, and his advice to company managers is to focus their efforts on making moats deeper and wider. However, not all moats look the same, and evaluating a moat's durability can be challenging. Competitive advantages fall into the following broad categories:

Economies of scale
Brand
Regulatory advantages
Intellectual property in the form of trademarks or patents...

Charlie Kirk telling a crowd of women how to be leaders. First of all, subjugate yourself to a real man.

Candice Owens makes a good point, every woman who believes this BS should prolly just not vote.

Candice Owens is gorgeous. Nutty, but gorgeous.

First they came for the teachers...

A coalition of librarians, booksellers and authors are FIGHTING BACK against a law that Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law that threatens librarians with *jail time* if they make "banned books" available for children. The lawsuit accuses the new law of violating the 1st and 14th amendments.

A new lawsuit filed by a broad coalition of librarians and academics is challenging Arkansas Act 372, a draconian and dystopian law that Sanders signed into law that levels penalties of up to a year in prison for any librarian caught "supplying kids with banned books."

“Library workers across Arkansas are rightly concerned that the overly broad edicts of Act 372 will prevent them from serving their patrons as they have always done, by providing a wide variety of materials to fill their information needs, and perhaps more importantly, materials that allow each child to see themselves in the books in their library,” said Carol Coffey, the president of the Arkansas Library Association.
