Billionaire financier Ken Griffin is spending tens of millions of dollars to back Republican primary candidates across the US, but records show he has so far resisted contributing to Donald Trump — the former president leading an ideological overhaul of the GOP. Griffin’s position as an established force in Republican fundraising has sometimes put him at odds with Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, who have promoted policies that were long anathema to conservatives.

Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is rushed offstage by Secret Service agents after being grazed by a bullet during a campaign rally on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania. (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images/TNS) TNS I doubt that Thomas Crooks shot up a Trump rally in Butler, Penn., because he had heard Democrats say the former president would destroy our democracy. Ditto the notion that Trump himself inspired the young man with his violent MAGA rhetoric.

Brian Frye has posted a recent essay entitled, "The Gray Lady's Guide to Legal Education." Here's the abstract:For better or worse, the U.S. News & World Report law school ranking has dominated legal education for decades, by giving prospective law students information about the relative prestige of law schools. But in recent years, it has become largely irrelevant, as prospective law students have begun to look elsewhere when deciding which law school to attend.

The fight to maintain and expand press freedom is never-ending, but this year marks the anniversary of an important milestone. Two hundred years ago, ex-convict printer Andrew Bent established the first free press in Australia. Having sacked his government-appointed editor, Bent began printing No. 422 of the Hobart Town Gazette on the morning of June 4, 1824. Until that day, newspapers in Australia were quasi-official organs of the colonial governors, with all material subject to official approval.

Warning: Your Dog Knows You’re Incompetent Even If You Don’tFor years, my Yorkie/mini-Schnauzer mix has quizzically watched as I stumble my way through life (very literally). Due to a rancid disease I acquired at age 5, pretty much nothing on me works as it should.

Burns was a virtual unknown who defeated Lily Tang Williams in the NH CD2 primary when the Tang-Williams message (having escaped Communism) was what was needed as we plunged further into the depths of a tyrannical govt.

It’s 7 p.m. in Miami — 6 p.m. in Dallas, 4 p.m. in Las Vegas, 2 a.m. in Riyadh, 7 a.m. in Hong Kong — and the scene at Carbone, the red-sauce Italian joint turned Kardashian-esque brand, is as spicy as the rigatoni vodka. Waiters weave through the crowd. Guests squeeze into green leather banquettes. The throng spills out the door, into a pop-up cigar bar. The man choreographing it all moves through the place, dressed head-to-foot in casual-chic black. “This is Miami,” Jeff Zalaznick says.
