April 3, 2023 Update:

End of 2022-2023 Season Update on # games needed to break the NCAA scoring record (30) and Caitlin's new projected career points total (3,662):


Year: Points Scored
2021: 799 (30 games).................26.6 ppg
2022: 863 (32 games)..................27.0 ppg

In an unusual move, the far-right cable outlet One America News on Monday retracted a story promoting claims that former Trump fixer Michael Cohen had an affair with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and attempted to “extort” the Trump Organization before the 2016 election.

While Cohen’s lawyers deemed the move “a victory for accountability,” no money changed hands in the “legal settlement” they reached with OAN.

The claims were showcased in a March 27 online story that compiled social media posts by Tony Seruga, a self-described investor and “big data pioneer,” who alleged he learned of them from Michael Avenatti, Daniels’ former attorney who is in prison for stealing millions of dollars from his legal clients.

The since-removed story was written by Brooke Mallory, but that byline was later removed. The article did not contain any apparent original reporting, simply collecting Seruga’s tweets. The article commented that “Seruga has released a report that, if confirmed, would shatter the story surrounding Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump that Biden and the mainstream media have been hanging onto for years.”


ADVERTISING

OAN’s retraction noted that all involved parties — Cohen, Avenatti and Daniels — denied the claims.
“OAN apologizes to Mr. Cohen for any harm the publication may have caused him,” the network wrote. “To be clear, no evidence suggests that Mr. Cohen and Ms. Daniels were having an affair and no evidence suggests that Mr. Cohen ‘cooked up’ the scheme to extort the Trump Organization before the 2016 election.”

Cohen is expected to testify in Trump’s hush money trial in New York, where the former president is accused of falsifying business records to conceal a payment made to Cohen as a reimbursement for paying Daniels to suppress her story about having an alleged affair with Trump.
Justin Nelson, the Susman Godfrey attorney who played a prominent role in Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News, represented Cohen in his dispute with OAN. “This retraction is not about money,” he said in a statement. “It is about protecting the truth.”


Two weeks ago, OAN agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by the voting technology company Smartmatic, which alleged it was defamed by the network’s coverage of the 2020 election.

In April 2022, OAN also reached a settlement with Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss over allegations that the two had engaged in ballot fraud. As part of that agreement, OAN aired a segment clarifying that Freeman and Moss did no such thing.

One year earlier, the conservative cable network Newsmax clarified claims made about Dominion’s director of product strategy and security, Eric Coomer, tying him to accusations of voting fraud. “Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true,” the network said in a statement that is no longer online.
Generally, though, it’s rare for television networks to fully retract online articles. Fox News, for example, did not retract any coverage related to Dominion’s role in the 2020 election following the historic $787.5 million settlement that was reached in April 2023.
On Monday afternoon, Cohen celebrated the retraction and called it “the first apology in a long line of lies about me by media outlets” in a post on X.

- He saved 6 people from drowning as a lifeguard

He received "salacious pictures" from women in the 70s that he handed to Secret Service

He was arrested as a kid while standing with a black family on their porch as people were protesting desegregation.

That he was "runner-up in state scoring" in football.

Long story, so apologize in advance:

Early this spring we had to replace our main sewer line from the house to the city main in our front yard, about 40 feet worth. Hired a plumber to dog up old collapsed line, replace with new one. He left a mound of dirt in my yard, and said he would come back in a few months after it had settled some to fill it in and haul away excess.

I didn't like his price so I asked my local landscape company to give me a bid. I told them my main concern was them not compacting the soil, and then it would sink or settle and I'd have a dip in my front yard. They said yes, they would do so. Fast forward a few weeks after landscape company did their work and I'm growing grass again, we had heavy rains and the ground settled in two different spots about 2 to 3 feet drop.

They claim since they didn't do the original plumbing work they didn't know what voids were left, and won't warranty their work now that the ground settled. What do I do?

This occurred over the weekend. Not much of a tornado, but enough to do some damage to the engine. Regardless, inside a 400,000 pound locomotive is a fairly safe spot for an event like this, although I’m surprised to crew didn’t go below.

I don’t care if he is a piece of shit. My taxes went way up this year. Hearing the same thing from a lot of other people.

Meanwhile worthless people who barely work and just keep popping out kids are getting all kinds of tax refund money.

Screw Joe Biden. Trump is about to have my vote.

Why doesn’t he just walk through this “impenetrable wall” or why doesn’t the security guard standing there just tell them to move out of the way. These free Palestine folks are really pissing on their cause.

This is an excellent read.

God Save the King!

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Monday refused to delay prison time for Peter Navarro, a former senior aide to President Donald Trump, as he appeals his conviction for refusing to testify before Congress about his involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Cut through the 2024 election noise. Get The Campaign Moment newsletter.

Navarro, a 74-year-old economist, is scheduled to report to federal prison in Miami before 2 p.m. Tuesday.

In a one-paragraph order, Roberts, who oversees emergency requests from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, said he saw no basis to disagree with an appeals court ruling last week that Navarro must serve time while his appeal is underway.
Navarro was sentenced in January to four months after a jury convicted him on two counts of contempt of Congress.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit last week refused Navarro’s request to remain free. A three-judge panel said Navarro “has not shown that his appeal presents substantial questions of law or fact likely” to undo his conviction or sentence.


After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, Navarro published a book in which he described a plot to throw the election to Trump during the counting of electoral votes that day. He credited the idea to right-wing podcast host and former Trump strategist Stephen K. Bannon.

Follow Election 2024
When the House committee investigating the attack issued subpoenas for Navarro and Bannon to elaborate on those plans, both men ignored them. Now the two are fighting prison sentences for contempt of Congress. The District Court judge presiding over Bannon’s case, however, allowed him to stay out of prison while Bannon pursued an argument on appeal not available to Navarro — that in refusing to testify, he was relying on advice from his attorney.

Navarro’s attorneys, who declined to comment Monday, told the Supreme Court on Friday that their client is “indisputably neither a flight risk nor a danger to public safety should he be released pending appeal.”


The attorneys said their client refused to comply with a congressional subpoena because he thought he was required to assert executive privilege. They argued that the law is not clear on whether Congress intended to punish senior presidential advisers in such circumstances.
But Navarro had no documentation to show that Trump ever planned to assert that privilege to keep his aide from testifying, and Trump has never publicly corroborated Navarro’s account.
In denying Navarro’s request on Monday, Roberts agreed with the appeals court finding that Navarro had given up the right at this stage to challenge the District Court’s conclusion that executive privilege was not invoked.

Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason are out, JJ Watt and Matt Ryan are in.

Spoke with Dezmon Briscoe for the first time a couple weeks ago at the 3SSB circuit. Sounds like he's hoping to take an OV to Iowa in June.

STORY:

A federal appellate court in Richmond became the first in the country to rule that state health-care plans must pay for gender-affirming surgeries, a major win for transgender rights amid a nationwide wave of anti-trans activism and legislation.

The decision came from a set of cases out of North Carolina and West Virginia, where state officials argued that their policies were based on cost concerns rather than bias. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit rejected that argument, saying the plans were discriminating against trans people in need of treatment.

Judge Roger Gregory, writing for the majority, called the restrictions “obviously discriminatory” based on both sex and gender.

It’s the second ruling in favor of trans rights this month from the 4th Circuit, a once-conservative court that has become a trailblazer in the realm of transgender rights. The court was the first to say trans students had a right to use the bathrooms that align with their gender identity and the first to recognize gender dysphoria as a protected disability. Earlier this month, the court said a federally funded middle school could not ban a trans 13-year-old from playing on the girls’ track and field team.


ADVERTISING

All of these rulings split the appeals court down ideological lines. In a dissent from the ruling Monday, Judge Jay Richardson, a Trump appointee, wrote that there was no role for the federal court in policing what treatments health-care plans decide to cover.
The majority opinion, Richardson wrote, “treats these cases as new fronts upon which this conflict must be waged. But not every battle is part of a larger war. In the majority’s haste to champion plaintiffs’ cause, today’s result oversteps the bounds of the law.”

The ruling could be appealed to the Supreme Court, which recently allowed Idaho to enforce a ban on gender-affirming care for minors. But the conservative-led court has been reluctant to engage on this issue, letting multiple 4th Circuit rulings in favor of transgender rights stand. The court also generally waits until there is disagreement between circuit courts before getting involved.


Other states have banned hormonal treatment and surgery for trans minors; some have restricted care for transgender adults as well. Multiple other states have similar laws against insurance coverage for transition-related treatment.
In West Virginia, transgender Medicaid users challenged the state’s program, which since 2004 has by law banned “transsexual surgeries.” In North Carolina, state employees challenged their coverage, which in 2018 excluded surgical treatment of gender dysphoria — the clinical diagnosis of a disconnect between a person’s gender and birth sex.

Both states insisted that there was no bias in their coverage limitations, only cost concerns; trans patients, they argued, were entitled only to the same health treatments as everyone else but not specialized care.
“There is no service that is covered for a cisgendered person that is not covered for a transgender person meeting the same criteria,” Caleb David, an attorney for West Virginia, told judges on the appellate court during the oral argument. David added that the state had decided to provide psychiatric and hormonal treatment for gender dysphoria — just not surgery.


Advocates for trans patients said there was no medical justification for drawing the line there, when the state would cover such procedures for other conditions. They also said the financial explanation was suspect because so few people get gender-affirming surgery. It’s “a drop in the bucket,” Lambda Legal attorney Tara Borelli said during oral arguments. But even if the cost was significant, she argued, the cost of public health insurance “has to be a shared burden. It can’t be shunted onto the backs of a vulnerable minority group.”

The court agreed, saying cost-cutting could not justify covering the same treatments for health concerns other than gender dysphoria. For example, the court noted, the contested plans covered mastectomies for cancer patients but not for trans men.
North Carolina began covering gender-affirming care in 2017 and stopped the following year, when Republican Dale Folwell became state treasurer. Julia McKeown, a professor at North Carolina State University, accepted her job in 2016, a few years into fully transitioning after a lifetime of “being adamant about what my gender was” but being limited in expressing it. She spent months preparing for surgery, only to be forced to cover the full cost along with all other treatment.


“It’s like having the rug pulled out from under you,” she said. “In some ways worse than going in and knowing it was going to be denied.” She cut into her retirement savings rather than delay the surgery, calling herself “fortunate” to be able to do so.

McKeown grew up in a rural town in Florida and spent years pretending to be a man for fear of social and professional exclusion. Joining the lawsuit meant exposing herself to hate mail from strangers.

“In an ideal world, I would have loved to just move on with my life” after the surgery, she said. “At the same time, I feel a moral obligation to help those who can’t speak up for themselves, and for those who risk being fired or who have dependents on the state health-care plan who need access to treatment.”
Twenty-one Republican-led states asked the court to rule against the plaintiffs, focusing on disagreement over what physical interventions should be available to trans youth. But most major medical plans and the federal government cover gender transition treatment, which has been endorsed by mainstream medical associations. Studies indicate very few people who transition regret doing so or seek to reverse the changes, including those who start treatment in their teens.
Seventeen Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia urged the court to rule for the coverage, saying their “experience demonstrates that protecting access to gender-affirming care improves health outcomes for our transgender residents at little cost.”

JuJu played in 34 of USC's 35 games this season. She averaged 27.1 ppg. USC finished their season at 29-6.

Will her scoring average go up over the next 3 years like what happened with Caitlin? Who knows.

The most games USC could have played this year is 37.

Assuming USC plays, on average, 36 games a year over her 4 years (being generous, I know), that would be 144 career games (Friday is Caitlin's 138th career game).

144 games x 27.1 ppg (her current average) = 3,903 projected points after 4 years.

Caitlin currently is at 3,900.
