A hot, healthy school dinner opens so many doors for the young people we teach. It helps them concentrate better in class, supporting their learning and ensuring they can grow and thrive in school. But too many children miss out on this vital support because of incredibly bureaucratic eligibility constraints, coupled with the fact that, […]

Private eye at heart of phone-hacking scandal claims he was wrongly convicted twice for same crime as he launches "vindicating" book
In Opposite Land, Oreos are a nutritious superfood.
In Opposite Land, I have no unwanted facial hair. All of my facial hair is wanted.
In Opposite Land, my job pays me obscene amounts of money. Unfortunately, money is virtually worthless here, so people burn it to keep cool in the long, hot days of winter.
Here, instead of two white cats, I have two black dogs. However, dogs are complete assholes in Opposite Land; they let you know they are done being petted by scratching you. So, in a way, my pet situation is kind of the same.
Another difference is that up is down, and down is up, but that’s really just semantics, and in Opposite Land semantics are meaningless.
One great thing is that in Opposite Land, I have wasted exactly zero hours on my phone playing Triple Match Master 3D because playing Triple Match Master 3D is never a waste of time. In fact, it has helped me increase my fine motor skills so much that I am now the world’s most renowned spinal surgeon. That’s why I earn so much worthless money.

Scott Jennings and other regular CNN Trump supporters make it almost impossible to watch their “panels.” It’s not that I can’t sit through arguments between conservatives and liberals on TV. There’s nothing new about that. But the Trump henchmen are such liars and rarely get any fact checking in real time and it distorts the truth in ways that are very destructive. George Conway called Jennings out in real time and it was glorious: Conway discussed this on Greg Sargent’s podcast and it’s excellent: The other day on CNN, prominent Never Trump lawyer George Conway did something you rarely see in Washington. He dressed down a GOP commentator for lying his ass off about Donald Trump—and then, right on the air, he asked why CNN was paying this Republican to spread lies on Trump’s behalf. We think this episode illustrates a deep problem with the media’s handling of pro-Trump propaganda. So we chatted with Conway about why he unloaded—and in the process, he revealed some interesting things about the network. Listen to this episode here. It’s well worth your time.
We’ve all seen the threats and the pardon dangling Trump has done from the moment he became president. He even asked the director of the FBI to go easy on his buddy Michael Flynn and then fired him when he refused to do it. The corruption is boundless. And now we find out he’s literally paying people off as well. Pro Publica has a big expose today showing that some of the witnesses in the criminal cases against him have been given fancy jobs, cash bonuses, board seats, shares in his companies and plum jobs for family members often at very important times in the legal process. And the dollar amounts are impressive. Recall the recent story of Brian Butler, the Mar-a-Lago employee who witnessed the handling of those bankers boxes full of classified document and came forward to say that he was offered a new job with a big raise. Cassidy Hutchinson was offered a job and they sent her a lawyer paid by the campaign. This is how they operate. According to the experts they interviewed, cases like this are very difficult to prove. But prosecutors will certainly use the information to question these witnesses credibility if Trump is ever brought to trial on these charges.
I’m excited to say that I turned in my manuscript for the ActivityPub book for O’Reilly Media today.
