Does he not know where Stanford is?
I did read some students are protesting his appearance. Based on the subject of his speech now I know why.

I wonder if his donors will ever grasp the fact that dumpster don is just conning them. He is doing exactly what he did with his Charitable Foundation funneling all the donations into his pocket for his personal use.

“Fox News's Hillary Clinton obsession backfired”
“Fox was extremely eager for Clinton's NY speech, right up until she started talking.
Fox News spent a ton of time Thursday talking about Hillary Clinton. But they needed a safe space when she actually started talking.
Clinton delivered a speech Thursday afternoon to the New York Democratic convention that was heavy hyped on Fox News, with anchors suggesting she’d tease some sort of 2024 presidential run (ironically, nobody wants that more than Fox) or address the fake scandal the channel has cooked up about her “spying” on the Trump White House that I explained in this newsletter earlier this week.
“A lot of people wondering if today’s keynote address by Clinton could include a hint of any possible hopes of a presidential run in 2024,” claimed one Fox reporter, even though the idea of Clinton primarying Biden is absurd, while anchors indicated to viewers that they’d take part of the speech live.
“CLINTON’S COMEBACK SPEECH: COMING UP,” read one chyron.
And in fairness to Fox, they did carry a portion of Clinton’s speech live — a very short one. Because as soon as they cut to her, she went in hard on the political party the channel runs interference for each and every day.
"Republicans are defending coup plotters. They are curbing voting rights at precisely the moment when democracy needs champions, when we should be standing together against autocracies like Russia and China,” she said. “January 6 was a gift to them, because they know something we need to remember: America is only as strong as our unity and our democracy allows us to be.”
Clinton then pivoted to Trump’s lies about the election.
“We must reject the big lie about the 2020 election and the coverup—”
But before Clinton’s sentence was finished, Fox abruptly cut away. She was apparently hitting too close to home. They ended up taking about a minute of her speech in total.
Watch:
Here’s the thing — after Fox cut away, Clinton actually did get around to addressing the fake spying scandal the network has spent all week harping on. But instead of taking it seriously, she dismissed it with the scorn it deserves, and even suggested she’s considering legal action.
“We can’t get distracted, whether it’s by the latest culture war nonsense or some new right-wing lie on Fox or Facebook,” she said. “By the way, they’ve been coming after me again lately … it’s funny, the more trouble Trump gets into, the wilder the charges and conspiracy theories about me seem to get.”
“So now, his accountants have fired him, and investigations draw closer to him, and right on cue the noise machine gets turned up, doesn’t it?” continued Clinton. “Fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again. And as an aside, they’re getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks.
Fox then spent the rest of the day proving Clinton’s point, taking about her incessantly and ignoring Trump’s legal troubles.
When all was said and done, Clinton’s named was mentioned on Fox News shows more than 100 times on Thursday, even though she did nothing more newsworthy than deliver a speech. Meanwhile, news that a judge is ordering Trump to sit for a deposition in connection with New York’s criminal investigation of his business was mentioned twice.
The end game, besides “scandals” being good for ratings, is to minimize Republican corruption and lawlessness by making it seem as though Democrats are even worse. Clinton, to her credit, refuses to play along — but that won’t stop Fox from caricaturing her anyway.
And they were still trying to make Clinton 2024 a thing on Friday morning, even though she did not so much as hint as another presidential run during the speech in question.
It’d be hilarious if it wasn’t borderline disturbing.“

When will they learn, nothing is secret..... On Friday, the Daily Beast reported that an outspoken anti-mask politician in Sacramento County, California, was caught in the Telegram channel of members of the Proud Boys to help plan the so-called "freedom convoy" of truckers protesting anti-vaccine mandates — and now she is claiming it was an accident and she is being set up. "Sue Frost, one of the county’s five supervisors, came under fire this week after an area Twitter-user spotted her in a series of fringe Telegram channels, including a channel run and moderated by self-described Proud Boys who had previously used Telegram to encourage the murders of Jews and 'race war now,'" reported Kelly Weill. "Now Frost says she was unaware of the forums’ Proud Boy ties. Instead, she accuses the Twitter whistleblower of following her around and 'dubbing' her into pictures with Proud Boys — a claim that Twitter user firmly denies." www.rawstory.com/proud-boys-2656725963/ |

Ohio, check one of your splended candidates for Congress . . Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance has accused Walmart of using "slave labor" to make cheap products that undermine American jobs. But his latest personal financial disclosure shows he owns at least $50,000 in Walmart stock. Vance, who made a fortune as a venture capitalist before writing the best-selling book "Hillbilly Elegy," submitted his personal financial disclosure last month after missing the original filing deadline. It indicates that he owns between $50,000 and $100,000 in Walmart stock. (Such disclosure forms list ranges, rather than precise amounts.) www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-2656059231/#cxrecs_s |

It’s kind of hard to dispute this from the Washington Post..
”As tragic events unfold in Ukraine, take a moment to consider that the foreign policy goals of defeated former president Donald Trump and his MAGA movement bear a striking resemblance to those of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
What does Putin want? His aims go well beyond Ukraine. As the Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum summarizes: He “wants to put so much strain on Western and democratic institutions, especially the European Union and NATO, that they break up. He wants to keep dictators in power wherever he can, in Syria, Venezuela, and Iran. He wants to undermine America, to shrink American influence, to remove the power of the democracy rhetoric that so many people in his part of the world still associate with America. He wants America itself to fail.”
Trump’s foreign policy sought to do much of what Putin wants to achieve, including intimidating Ukraine by withholding vital defensive weapons. Trump, like his role model in Moscow, favored weakening NATO, elevating dictators (from China to Turkey to North Korea to Hungary to Russia), undermining democratic elections, demonizing the media (the best check against power-hungry politicians) and finding common ground with kleptocratic-style governments.”

Putin's Right-Wing Shills And why they matter. Charlie Sykes February 21, 2002 Flashback to July, 2018. After the summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, this is what I wrote for the now-deceased Weekly Standard: It seems only moments ago that Republicans derided Barack Obama’s “apology tour.” But that has been replaced by Donald Trump’s Groveling Tour, a peculiar combination of bullying our friends and fawning on our enemies. Monday’s summit seems destined to be recorded in the annals of diplomatic folly, with geopolitical consequences that will last far longer than our own frenetic attention spans.
What we have learned again is that at the heart of every truculent and strutting bully is a craven sycophant eager to cower before a bigger bully.
On Monday, Trump found that bigger bully and his cowering was the embarrassment heard round the world.
The president did not merely insult and dismiss members of his own administration (Dan Coats) and attack the institutions of his own government on foreign soil (the FBI and DoJ), he also demeaned his own country, all in order to curry favor with a bloody martinet, who is aggressively attacking us.Consider this the context of today’s news. President Biden has agreed “in principle” to a summit with Putin, which may or may not avert a catastrophic war. We don’t know. What we can know, however, is that Putin is fully aware that he faces a divided U.S., and that influential voices on the right have been channeling much of his own propaganda. By now the cast of Putin’s useful idiots is familiar, ranging from Tucker Carlson, and Josh Hawley to Candace Owens, MTG, and Maria Bartiromo.Fiona Hill, the former senior director for Europe and Russia at the National Security Council, calls them "the ultimate stooges," but at least for now, these right wing voices do not speak for most congressional Republicans, who have tended to take a far more hawkish stance. But Putin can be forgiven if he thinks his “conservative” allies represent the sentiment of MAGAWorld, coming as they do from some of Trump’s most loyal acolytes. And he may be especially emboldened if he believes that Trump himself may actually return to the Oval Office. So these right wing shills matter. Here’s former NSC/White House aide expert Alexander Vindman: Commenting on Vindman’s tweet, Garry Kasparov wrote: “What's most pathetic is that these Republicans are openly supporting a dictatorship that has attacked America. Putin openly treats the United States as an enemy, and they are doing his bidding in slandering Ukraine, his target.” ** morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/putins-right-wing-shills |

Not much viewer loyalty at FOX... Fox News host Neil Cavuto reveals viewers wished for his death while he was hospitalized with CovidDavid Edwards February 21, 2022 Fox News host Neil Cavuto revealed on Monday that his own viewers wished for his death while he was fighting for his life in the hospital with Covid-19. After days of being off the air, Cavuto explained his absence during his Fox Business program on Monday. The host kicked off his show by reading messages from viewers who had celebrated while he was in the hospital. "Dead or alive, as long as he isn't on my TV, it's a good day," one viewer named Janice wrote.*** "I did get Covid again," he admitted. "But a far, far more serious strain. What doctors call Covid pneumonia. It landed me in intensive care for quite a while and it really was touch and go. So if you who wanted to put me out of my misery, you darned near got what you wished for. So sorry to disappoint you, but no, the vaccine didn't cause that." Cavuto said that doctors told him that the vaccine may have saved his life because he also suffers from complicating issues. www.rawstory.com/neil-cavuto-returns-after-hospitalization/#cxrecs_s |
