Govs. Ron DeSantis, Gavin Newsom to face off in unusual debate today https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ron-desantis-gavin-newsom-debate-today/

 

DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, will be debating a governor who is not running for president in 2024, but the rivalry between the two has been building for years, as they had opposite responses to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their public disagreements and spats over education, immigration and economic policy have also increased in the last two years.

Tax Docs Reveal Tucker Carlson Is Finally, Truly Out at The Daily Caller

 

Former Fox News star turned social media vlogger Tucker Carlson was quietly removed from the board of the media organization he co-founded in 2011—The Daily Caller—where he’d held a chair position for more than a decade, according to a previously unreported tax filing.

 

Carlson seems to have disappeared from the board of The Daily Caller News Foundation sometime in 2022, according to tax documents that the group recently filed with the state of New Mexico. But the precise timing is unclear. Given the tumultuous year for Carlson—who was fired from his primetime position at Fox News in late April amid a cascade of propaganda, lies, hateful vitriol, multiple lawsuits, and internal disputes—the timing could be critical.

 

For whatever reason, both Carlson and The Daily Caller have kept the move a secret until now.

 

When the nonprofit submitted its annual registration with the state on Dec. 7, 2022, Carlson was listed as a director. But his name was not included in the annual registration the group filed earlier this month, nor was he listed among the board members on the 2022 tax return that the nonprofit submitted this September.

 

Reached for comment, Carlson didn’t comment about being taken off the board and instead tried to belittle The Daily Beast and this reporter.

 

“You’re still working for The Daily Beast? How old are you?” asked the 54-year-old Carlson, who recently appeared on the Nelk Boys podcast to discuss his zeal for nicotine-salt pouches ahead of a mixed martial arts fight.

BILL FILED IN JEFFERSON CITY WOULD CHANGE I-44/I-70 NAMES

 

A proposed bill to be considered in the next Missouri General Assembly would flipflop the names of interstates 70 and 44 running through the state.

 

House Bill-2067 pre-filed on Wednesday by Representative Don Mayhew would change the name of Interstate-70 from the Kansas-Missouri state line to the Missouri-Illinois line to Interstate-44.

 

The bill would also change the name of Interstate-44 stretching from its current boundary in the St. Louis area to the Missouri-Oklahoma line to Interstate-70.

 

The short two paragraph introduction of the bill goes no further with any other information provided for the proposed changes to the names of the two interstates.

WTF?  Why?  Can they even do that on a Federal interstate?  Seems like it would confuse the hell out of people travelling across country.

Recall long ago, in a book about how crooked Chicago and Illinois politics were, the claim that every so often, the legislature would introduce legislation to do something monumentally stupid.  

 

His example was a law that would require every railroad in Illinois to tear up all their rails, and lay new ones that are two inches closer together.  

 

Not because they actually had any intention of passing such a law.  

 

Rather, the law was a signal that the legislature hasn't heard from the railroad lobbyists, lately.
