The Make It Right Foundation is a nonprofit that was created by Pitt to provide affordable housing for displaced residents after Hurricane Katrina hit the city in 2005. However, many of the houses built by the Make It Right Foundation experienced construction problems that later made them uninhabitable, including leaks and rotting wood.

Homebuyers in 2018 filed a class-action lawsuit against foundation, which has sued at least one of the construction companies and others for defective work. The nonprofit has since closed its New Orleans office and shuttered its website.

Variety magazine was in a state of full gush on Wednesday over the “flood” of liberal movies that are being released in the weeks just before the election. Of course, no discussion about any profits that will be earned by these films since it is all too obvious that the main goal is not to earn money but to try to influence the outcome of the election.

That might be a threat if people were still allowed to go to movies.

For years, we’ve been wondering if any authorities will ever officially document exactly who is on top in terms of diversity Pokemon Points. Clearly, cisgender straight white males are at the bottom, but among the privileged, who outranks whom?

Back in the liberal 1960s-1970s, the most important judge in the United States not on the Supreme Court was David L. Bazelon, chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1962-1980 and best friend of William Brennan, the Svengali of the Warren Court. Bazelon and Brennan would frequently collaborate on how to tee up cases for the Warren Court to issue landmark rulings upon.

Are you unable to understand how ballot harvesting can fail to lead to voter fraud? Are you concerned that your vote may be canceled out by one that is cast illegally?

Our education system, and the elite culture that this system influences, is now organized around a concept of “diversity” that is explicitly anti-white and anti-male.” To be a white male in America is to be persona non grata at Yale, Harvard, Stanford, etc. No one in our education system expends any effort to encourage young white males in their dreams or ambitions. Everything taught in the classroom stigmatizes white males, and administrative policy is to hinder (if they cannot actually prohibit) white males from academic achievement. The result of this discrimination is that there are great number of talented and intelligent young white men who have turned their backs on the education system….

Integrity is apparently a myth with the journalists at NBC News. The network’s insufferable Business Correspondent Stephanie Ruhle was just exposed for filming promotional videos for a bank she covers.

The Washington Post, which broke the story, wrote that Ruhle “doesn’t promote banks when she’s anchoring for the cable network. But on the Internet, it may be a different story.” In a September 22 clip produced and sponsored by JPMorgan Chase, Ruhle said: “‘Hey, this is Stephanie Ruhle, and I’m looking forward to my conversation with Chase, where we talk about life’s unpredictable moments and how important it is to save and plan for them.’” The Post concluded that “Ruhle isn’t a paid endorser for Chase, but her association with the bank raises questions about potential conflicts of interest.”

Many federal district court judges have an expansive view of their authority—which far too often ignores Supreme Court precedent.

Judge William Conley, a federal district court judge who was appointed by President Barack Obama, certainly seems to have an expansive view of his, as made evident by some election-related orders he gave that clearly surpass the appropriate power of a district court judge.

Fortunately for the voters of Wisconsin and their interests in the integrity of the election process, some members of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals were having none of it, and stayed all of Conley’s election-related orders on Oct. 8.

How would you feel about a new therapy for your chronic pain, which—although far more effective than any available alternative—might also change your religious beliefs? Or a treatment for lymphoma that brings one in three patients into remission, but also made them more likely to vote for your least preferred political party?

These seem like idle hypothetical questions about impossible side effects. After all, this is not how medicine works. But a new mental health treatment, set to be licensed next year, poses just this sort of problem. Psychotherapy assisted by psilocybin, the psychedelic compound in “magic mushrooms,” seems to be remarkably effective in treating a wide range of psychopathologies, but also causes a raft of unusual nonclinical changes not seen elsewhere in medicine.

Between 2008 and 2019, total newsroom employment in the United States declined by 23 percent. At newspapers, the drop has been more than 50 percent. Journalists are hardly to blame for the underlying causes of this contraction (which include the long-term shift from physical to digital media, and the growing ad-market share controlled by Google and Facebook). But they can be blamed for the gratuitous acts of self-sabotage that are exacerbating the industry’s woes. Many journalists—and even their unions—now seem more preoccupied with denouncing heresies among colleagues than with maintaining their audience and livelihoods.

I think it would help everybody if, we just acknowledged a few things.

1. Trump is an [redacted]. It’s fine, we have a proud American tradition of [redacted] presidents including LBJ and Harry Truman. Sometimes it also allows people to be necessary change agents. Just say it. “Trump is an [redacted].” It’s not a problem.

2. Trump isn’t a conservative. He is a center-left moderate who cut a deal. He gets to try some new foreign policy stuff and we get judges. There isn’t a single thing he ran on, outside of judges, that wasn’t the bipartisan consensus position before the left exited the American political spectrum, and the right collapsed into a grifter-led minarchist purity spiral. We have to honest with ourselves to be honest with others.

The left has won the COVID issue and probably the next election as a result. I am old enough to remember when Nancy Pelosi et al took the counsel of Dr. Fauci and told us that the viral disease the Washington Post had once called the “Chinese flu” in a headline was really no threat. It was all merely a racist, divisive, anti-Chinese stunt by Trump to pretend that the “Wuhan flu” was serious. Well into the apparent upswing of the pandemic Mayor DeBlasio urged maximum attendance at plays and restaurants.

Of course, none of that really happened. These politicians were always at war with COVID, it was Trump who did nothing. CNN says so.

ZMan tells us a story.

In 2020, it appears the official story tellers may have another problem on their hands with the Biden campaign. The story they are selling this time is the public is tired of the tyrant Trump and ready to lift-up world-weary old white man, and his super-smart diverse sidekick, and carry them to the White House. You see, world-weary old white man had a nice run, but now it is time for him to go. His last act will be to vanquish mean old white man and then hand the baton over to diverse sidekick.

It’s a familiar story, one that is the center of so many bad movies it is amazing that they keep trying to sell it. In this case, world-weary old white man is a vegetable that has been in hiding for most of the year, because he has shark eyes and says wacky things suggesting he is not all there. Super-smart diverse sidekick is pretty dumb and reminds everyone of getting their license renewed. It’s a bad story that no one wants to think about and the characters don’t work for the audience.

Compounding it is the world-weary old white man has a son that likes to smoke crack and film himself banging hookers. Fair or foul, people judge people by their children and Hunter Biden is a vulgar degenerate. He lies, cheats, steals and does not seem to have anything resembling a conscience. Worse yet, he seems to be an uncommonly stupid person, getting jammed up over stupid things like leaving his laptop with a repair shop, so the contents can be sold to the tabloids.

With the story having circulated for hours online Wednesday, the Biden campaign had yet to dispute the veracity of a New York Post story detailing how Hunter Biden had exchanged emails with a Ukrainian energy executive talking about exploiting his relationship with his vice-presidential father, Joe Biden. And being the loyal Democratic foot soldiers that they were, ABC, CBS, and NBC all censored the bombshell from their evening newscasts.

As one would expect, Fox News Channel’s Special Report didn’t play favorites like the liberal broadcasters and covered what anchor Bret Baier dubbed “October surprise.” “An explosive story at a critical stage in this presidential campaign, newly released emails allegedly from Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s computer leading to Capitol Hill investigators starting a probe,” announced senior political correspondent Mike Emanuel.
