I'll start today with the latest news of the day. About that Fox-Dominion trial that was supposed to start today.  Now we know why there was a one day delay.   THE DEFAMATION SUIT WAS SETTLED WITH FOX PAYING $787.5 MILLION TO DOMINION .  They had asked for $1.6 billion. The award amount is insignificant.  The end result is monumental. Democracy has been preserved. The Big Lie has been exposed. The Judiciary efforts to nail Trump for the January attack on the Capitol has been reinforced. The demise of the Republican Party has gained momentum. Hardcore Trumpers will not be much affected.  More Republicans will become Independent, and more Independents will now vote for Democrats. Democrats will regain control of both Houses of Congress on 8 November 2024 and the White House will remain with a Democrat on 5 November 2026. Fox News will continue, but who can trust them anymore? Today, April 18, is the last day to file your annual Federal Tax Form.  Why was it not April 15?  The 15th
