Ron DeSantis is championing Donald Trump’s idea of making it easier to sue media outlets who promote falshoods about their subjects. In the midst of doing so, DeSantis hosted a round table discussion in Miami yesterday and invited noted conservative attorney Libby Locke to participate. Locke has worked with the likes of Sarah Palin and James O’Keefe and has a long history of helping conservatives who were maligned by media outlets. Trump world was furious at Locke’s invitation to the event because one of her other clients is Dominion Voting Systems. Here’s everything you need to know.

Dear Meg:
The only solution, POSSIBLY (although Trump's vitriolic memory seems endless) is to beat him early. Two polls came out today that looked good for RDeS. Hope.
Maybe we can retire him to go back to arguing about his inauguration crowd being larger than Obama's and his "Apprentice" shows getting much better ratings than Schwarzenegger's.
I wrote in Ted Cruz's name in 2016 because Trump's twisting of the "NY values" remark was the last instance of his bearing false witness that I could put up with. At that point, I was convinced that Trump's vow to limit abortions was likely meaningless. I was wrong. His Court picks, while not perfect, were excellent. (Only Gorsuch was at the Alito/Thomas level, however.) I voted for him in 2020. He made several clear improvements to America in his 4 years in office, but to my mind he threw them all away and stuck America with Biden and a radical Democrat Congress, solely because of his personality -- which will never change. (Yes, the pandemic and the media's un-journalistic anti-Trump coverage of it hurt him, but does anyone think that DeSantis wouldn't have handled all the COVID pandemic aspects better? -- limiting the CDC, when it went overboard in assaulting liberty and damaging our schools and economy, while retaining a stronger image of leadership?) Down deep, Trump has good basic instincts: love of country, love of people. It's only when anything challenges love of self that he abandons Godly behavior. Most recently, he denied responsibility for the 2022 GOP Congressional setbacks, where his endorsed candidates, several of whom backed his endless 2020 whining, underperformed (See Ann Coulter, 12/7/22), and turned the blame on pro-lifers! He won't change, and the Democrats and the media are counting on that. They are now easing their attacks him. Democrat voters will dutifully switch party affiliations to ensure that Trump wins the GOP primary and becomes our (losing) candidate in 2024.
