Yet another defamation lawsuit prevails, this one against Kari the witch.

Kari Lake Handed Legal Blow by Judge

Quote:
Kari Lake suffered a fresh legal blow on Wednesday when a Maricopa County judge refused to throw out a defamation lawsuit brought against the Arizona Republican by an election official whom she accused of involvement in a plot to rig the state's November 2022 gubernatorial election against her.

The case was brought by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, a fellow registered Republican, whom Lake accused of "intentionally printing misconfigured ballots" and inserting "300,000 illegal ballots" in an effort to thwart her campaign. Lake, a passionate Donald Trump supporter, failed to produce substantive evidence to support either claim.
And she is the Repugnant candidate for the US Senate from Arizona.

A sex video involving Sarasota School Board member Bridget Ziegler and an unidentified woman has been recovered by police as part of the ongoing criminal investigation of a rape allegation made against Bridget’s husband, Christian Ziegler, sources close to the investigation have told the Florida Trident.

This hypocrite worked on DeSantis' Don't Say Gay bill.

This is a rags to riches story but not very admirable.

When her family needed money, Nikki Haley found a lucrative path

Quote:
Bankers were foreclosing on her parents’ lake house, and they were having trouble tracking down the family. They tried the house itself, on the shores of picturesque Lake Murray, as well as Haley’s home in a suburb of Columbia. She was initially named as a defendant in the action.

In vain, they went to Haley’s workplace: the headquarters of the U.S. mission to the United Nations in New York.

“Denied access by U.N. security,” a process server scrawled on an affidavit filed in January 2018.

The foreclosure action, initiated even as Haley served in the highest echelons of government, illustrates the financial pressure she faced as her family’s primary breadwinner during her last stint in public service, which ended when she abruptly quit government later that year and entered the private sector.

In short order, she improved her financial position dramatically, making millions from private consulting, paid speeches and spots on corporate boards. She quickly extricated herself from the lake house proceedings and, in 2019, purchased a $2.4 million property on Kiawah Island — a gated community near Charleston — with arched porticos, columns, balconies and stone balustrades.

I see nothing illegal or unethical about Nikki Haley using her fame and connections from her political career to make big money in the private sector. What is unethical is her current role as a Trump suck-up.

Nothing wrong with making money. HRC used to get big bucks giving speeches and heck Melania has made over a Million buck$ giving speeches. Its her hypocrisy that bothers me.

Quote:
The report from the Post's Issac Stanley-Becker noted, "In an 11-month period, ending January 2023, she earned about $2.5 million from paid speeches alone, delivered to banks, other businesses and advocacy groups, according to her disclosure. That’s more than she earned in combined salary during the eight years she spent as governor and then a presidential Cabinet member."

The report stated that the Haley campaign has danced around questions about her paid appearances, with Stanley-Becker writing that a "Haley spokesperson said the campaign does not have transcripts of Haley’s paid speeches because most took the form of question-and-answer sessions. Haley also has not released her recent tax returns. The spokesperson said she intends to but did not respond to questions about when."
Wouldn't you call that rags to riches is an inference, not an accusation? And isn't sudden wealth generation by politicians a cause for concern?

Quote:
That contrasts notably with Haley in 2016 demanding, "Donald Trump, show us your tax returns!” while also dragging his 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton into the attack by complaining, "We have two presidential candidates that refuse to disclose information: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump."

The Post's Stanley-Becker adds, "Haley’s reversal of fortune sheds light on inconsistencies between her public posturing and personal finances. She has touted her background in accounting yet faced penalties for failing to pay taxes on time, according to state records and news reports. She has demanded transparency from political adversaries yet veiled some aspects of her own sudden wealth whilenot always maintaining bright lines between her public role and private life."
