Ty Cobb: Judge Cannon is a ‘petty, partisan prima donna’

Ty Cobb: Judge Cannon is a ‘petty, partisan prima donna’

Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb said Thursday that Judge Aileen Cannon is a “partisan, petty prima donna.”

When talking about a Friday hearing on former President Trump challenging special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, Cobb said on CNN’s “OutFront” with anchor Erin Burnett that “the law requires that” Cannon “validate” Smith’s “appointment and not disqualify him.”

At this point Judge Cannon is a threat to national security. - Liam Nissan

Trump Says He Loves The Commandments He Broke!

Count former President Trump among those who are backing Louisiana’s controversial and first-in-the-nation law that will mandate classrooms from elementary school through college prominently display the Ten Commandments.

“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER,” Trump wrote this week on his online platform Truth Social. “READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY.”

The fact that we all have to wait with bated breath to see whether or not SCOTUS believes that the constitution allows for the president to be a king is a pretty good signifier at how much the ship of state is listing towards the sea. - Jay Black

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry welcomed lawsuits against him as he signed legislation this week making it mandatory for public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

“I’m going home to sign a bill that places the Ten Commandments in public classrooms,” boasted Landry during a Republican fundraiser on Saturday. “And I can’t wait to be sued.”

Many of L.A.'s Homeless Lives Are About To Change

A grand opening ceremony was held Wednesday for a high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles that will house homeless individuals.

There are 278 units in the 19-story development known as the Weingart Tower. It's intended to help people currently without shelter on Skid Row and it will be L.A.'s largest permanent support housing project...It's considered affordable housing, but the cost to build this type of project still adds up. Each unit costs nearly $600,000 and it's being funded by taxpayers.

The $165 million project is receiving permanent financing from Proposition HHH, which voters overwhelmingly passed in 2016. The new tower is also receiving state housing funds and $56 million in state tax credits.

Florida and Cuba. Funny story: In 1985 I took a cheap night flight from Miami to Merida, Mexico on Aero Mexico. There were only about 30 people on the plane. As we passed Havana, the pilot pointed it out and everyone but me rushed to the left side of the aircraft screaming, HAVANA HAVANA!! The aircraft tilted at least 45 degrees. Stuff flew everywhere. I was glad I had my seatbelt on.

Peace.
