Scott Jennings: CNN Has to Be Trolling at this Point
Renee Good is not a talking point. But for Scott Jennings and CNN, a fatal shooting in Minneapolis is just another opportunity to 'both sides' the indefensible.

Trump’s real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward.
2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country.
Be warned.

I have concluded, after watching or listening to many podcasts, that Ezra Klein is undereducated and overconfident. Ta-Nehisi told him, in so many words… he still peddles underinformed nonsense and can’t take a hint. Unfortunate waste of time and energy.

I, for one, think Katie Britt is hilarious (as in, a No Talent Ass Clown). Her interview on CNN this morning teleported us all right to her kitchen. How does one get so skilled at peddling vaporware??? Chef’s kiss.
