"Together, they made up a formidable force: Paul Weyrich spoke about a group he was building to help elect conservatives to Congress. Phyllis Schlafly described her campaign to thwart the Equal Rights Amendment....

...For his part, Feulner, a co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, spoke about how religious conservatives needed an alternative to the Council on Foreign Relations." (from the CNP origin story in the article, c. 1981)
From SPLC: "In 1996, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) undertook an experiment, creating its own TV talk show about immigration called “Borderline.” The program ran for one year on NET, a satellite TV station put together by archconservative Paul Weyrich,

How was the officer involved in the shooting?
In case the true horror of this story is still not clear, cops shot this guy in the back and killed him at his father's funeral as he was hugging his sister
And "Harrison County Sheriff Robert Matheny said law enforcement officers were there because the man had a warrant for his arrest. Officers believed he was armed, but Matheny said he could not confirm or deny if a weapon was found."

Remember when Michelle Obama started a garden at the White House and all these Very Serious Politicians came out against vegetables

"The Justice Department investigation is continuing, suggesting that officials are not certain whether they have recovered all the presidential records that Mr. Trump took with him from the White House."

"Two former White House officials, who had been designated as among Mr. Trump’s representatives with the archives... tried to facilitate the documents’ return.

Mr. Trump resisted those calls, describing the boxes of documents as “mine,” according to three advisers."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh man. What a complete shit-show. Way to fucking go, minimizers and enablers.

The GOP has been doing it for years too
Sure wish more American journos would have the tits to point that out theguardian.com/us-news/2021/n…
But then again, if they did that they wouldn't be able to force me to endure the same stupid "how do we fight misinformation???????" bullshit every year or two as they discover it yet again
