There is no "right" to a camera in the courtroom. These lawyers are stupid or desperate. This is settled case law.
I asked ChatGPT if she had Trump's approval since foreign diplomacy is under the executive branch:
So basically she is conducting her own foreign policy. For what purpose I do not know.

There’s no public evidence that Elaine Chao’s trip to China was formally “approved” or coordinated by the U.S. President in any official capacity.
A few important points to separate here:
1) The President conducts foreign policy—but not all international travel requires approval.
It’s true that under the U.S. system:
The President (through the State Department) leads official U.S. foreign policy. Current government officials and diplomats act under that authority.
But:
Private citizens do not need presidential permission to travel abroad. Former officials are generally free to travel and meet foreign leaders in a private capacity.
Elaine Chao at the time is a former cabinet official, not an active government employee.

re: Cuba's national electric grid has collapsed, total blackout.

To be fair we have blockaded their oil shipments. Their grid is old fashioned and runs on fuel oil.
Their government still sucks, though. Hopefully this will be enough to overthrow the commie system down there.

Facts of history change according to your age, just as our teachers prefer. The worst part is even 36% of Republicans believe it.

The survey also assessed the extent to which people have come to believe a hypothesis put forth in the 1619 Project: that preserving slavery was a primary reason the American Revolution was fought. The survey found a little more than a third (36%) believe this claim, while 39% believe it’s not true, and about a quarter (26%) aren’t sure if it’s true or not true.
This idea has strongly permeated among the nation’s youth. Young people are more than twice as likely to believe this is true (47%) as to believe it is untrue (21%). This stands in stark contrast to seniors, of whom just 18% believe it is true, compared with 64% who believe it is untrue. Democrats (46%) are also more likely to believe it than Republicans (36%) and independents (25%).

My dog just died the other day in front of me. She has been sick a while and could barely move. She got up, crawled to get me, looked at me, laid down and died about 20 second later.
When she was alive she hated loud noises.

Bertrand Russell knew all about it. He visited the USSR in 1920, met Vladimir Lenin, and had a long conversation. He came away despising the communists.
By the way, Russell was raised by his grandfather. His grandfather met Napoleon and told him about it.

I have a ton of old colonial ancestry. My surname line goes back to 1650 as far as I can trace. My surname ancestor came over as a "Cavalier" because he was banished after the English Civil War.
On my mom's side, I am George Washington's cousin.
As someone else said, if you are southern you likely have colonial ancestry. A lot of people in the north and midwest are more recent migrants (Germans, Italians, Irish, Poles, etc.) but the South has stayed more isolated for longer.

This is PBS's "climate change" propaganda channel. It will pop up in my algorithm once in a while and I always get a laugh. Here are some video titles within just the past couple weeks:
The best part is every episode is Trump's fault.

Why America's Deadliest Disaster is Essentially Invisible

The Cascadia Megaquake Is Inevitable. And It Will Reshape America Forever

What made them do that? Was it an accident where the meat slipped out of his hand and landed on the coals? Did they smell the meat burning on the coals and their mouth started watering?

Taste. Biologists believe that they probably came upon a wildfire and saw game burned up in it and tried it. They liked the taste and decided it was the way to go.

If you had a bunch of white Germans rolling through Mexico wearing MAGA hats, the Dems would send drones to attack.
As the founders said, Democracy only works with a moral people who want to succeed, don't try to game the system, find loopholes, etc. Basically an honor system.
Churchill said Democracy sucks but is better than other forms of government so far tried.
Franklin said a Republic will fall when the people become so corrupted that only a despotic leader can lead them.
We are closing in on that point in time - the commies finna take over and rule with an iron fist. They will take your property away and most all of your rights. A DSA chairman was on Fox today and said his plan is to take property away from rich people. Since the DSA is now officially the Democrat party, this is now the position of the Democrats too.
