I struggled to pick a headline for this story, because there are so many good ones. For example, I considered, “If your boss told you to rob a 7-11, would you do it?” Here’s the story (read the rest of it here): “Lawyers representing David Shafer, the embattled chairman of th[...]

The amazing power of artificial intelligence
It can transform a draft dodger who never spent a day in military uniform into this. (To find out who Brigitte Gabriel is, go here; to watch Ana Kasparian call her a “clown,” go here. For a real picture of U.S. soldiers, go here.) Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]
Can Trump beat Biden in 2024?
I don’t know. It’s not even assured they’ll be the nominees, although both are running. The polls suggest neither are popular, but do polls at this stage really tell us anything about an election over 18 months away? Here’s what one of HorsesAss.org’s most articulate po[...]

Rupert Murdoch’s last gasp?
It’s amazing Rupert Murdoch is still alive. Firing Tucker Carlson may be the only decent thing the 92-year-old has done in his entire long life, and as always, he did it for money. Rumor has it the old man got tired of the expensive lawsuits (to find out who the source is, click here). That&#[...]
New poll suggests Trump faces uphill battle
Trump is the early favorite for the 2024 GOP nomination, but even if he isn’t wearing an orange prison jumpsuit by then, he’s unlikely to win over general election voters. A new AP/NORC poll released on Thursday, April 20, 2023, shows 70% of Americans don’t want him to run for pres[...]

Sizing up the case against Trump
The DA charged Trump with election crimes. If he didn’t make hush money payoffs to influence an election, falsifying business records to hide those payments would be misdemeanors under New York law. Let’s start by quoting what Trump said after his arraignment: “Former President Don[...]
Nancy Pelosi needs a law refresher
The former Democratic House speaker gets the burden of proof in criminal cases backwards. Yeah, she’s not a lawyer, but who doesn’t know the prosecutor has to prove guilt, and the defendant doesn’t have to say anything? Did she sleepwalk through this tweet? Return to The-Ave.US H[...]
