Recent Winners and Losers in America's Chaos Derby

We're experiencing the mother of all chaos in societies today. 

There's winners and losers in these crazy days where a former president failed at a coup attempt and is now running for re-election.

Current Winners and Losers in America's Chaos Derby

Under winners

-Environmental news that's good for the nation; The Biden administration restores Obama-era mercury rules for power plants, eyes more regulations in coming months.

---------------------------------------------------

-Finally, some good news on the sports scene; NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says referees are being held accountable for missed calls - they just don't publish it on media sources.

---------------------------------------------------

-Good to see election-denier Kari Lake lose another court battle - Appeals court rejects Kari Lake's challenge of election loss to Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs.

---------------------------------------------------

-Woman fights off man who attacked her in a gym. She proceeded to fight like a honey badger and the man ran away but was caught 24 hours later and charged with kidnapping and sexual battery. The guy picked the wrong woman who turned out to be a dedicated bodybuilder with an attitude!

Under Losers

Faux News is in big trouble. A trove of newly released text messages and emails have laid bare how the right-wing media giant operated with little regard for fact in the weeks and months following the 2020 presidential election. 

The messages were made public yesterday as part of the ongoing Dominion Voting Systems $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox for knowingly spreading lies about the company.

---------------------------------------------------

-A nationwide arrest warrant has been issued for a former MTV star Connor N. Smith who was on a dating show called, Are You the One?

In a twisted case of irony, Connor's wanted a date with a15-year old girl in Lake County, Illinois! He's now wanted for three felony charges, including grooming, disseminating harmful material (his dick flics) and traveling to meet a minor for sex.

I wonder if MTV vets their cast members for past offenses. It sure doesn't look like it. Connor was arrested in 2021 and charged with rape, sexual battery and two counts of criminal confinement. Not the perfect date by any means.

------------------------------------------------------

-Big Spender! An Orange County, California, attorney for a lending company in the British Islands allegedly blew through $10 million of the company's funds as she gambled and partied in Las Vegas.

The attorney, Sara Jacqueline King gambled 24 hours a day, seven days a week for six months while she lived at the Wynn. Upon learning of her theft of funds the company filed a petition on Feb.11 and King has to respond in two weeks.

As it stands...as Sonny and Cher once sung, The Beat Goes On.
