The heads keep rolling.

CBS News parent Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to resolve an extraordinary lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” news report last fall.

The long-gestating and highly controversial settlement payment was announced by Paramount late Tuesday night.

Paramount said the $16 million sum “includes plaintiffs’ fees and costs,” and will not be paid to Trump directly, but instead will be allocated to Trump’s future presidential library — mirroring a settlement agreement that Disney’s ABC struck with Trump last December.

“The settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret,” Paramount specified.

The announcement also said that “in the future, ‘60 Minutes’ will release transcripts of interviews with eligible U.S. presidential candidates after such interviews have aired, subject to redactions as required for legal or national security concerns.”

CNN is butthurt.

Legal experts maintained that Trump’s suit was frivolous and that CBS was on solid ground to fight and win the case in court.

Elections Have Benefits

That the Poilievre Conservatives chose not to grab the culture war ring when they had the chance will go down as one of the greatest campaign blunders of all time.

Great Success!

Sylvain Charlebois- How Ottawa gift-wrapped our dairy sector for Trump

Which brings us to Donald Trump. For him, gaining access to the Canadian dairy market is not about economic necessity—it’s about principle. It’s about cracking a closed, protected system that offends his transactional worldview. Fresh off forcing Canada to abandon its digital services tax, Trump may now see himself as the liberator of Canadians from an outdated system that serves a small, powerful minority.

When you’re flapping your elbows it’s funny how people tend to notice.

This is the fatal flaw of Bill C-202. In trying to shield supply management, Parliament has made it a bigger target.

Elbows Up!

@kevinolearytvThis mess started with Trudeau, the idiot king, who rammed through Bill C-69, a policy so anti-development it basically banned pipelines and choked off energy revenue. Now, Carney inherits an economic wasteland and thinks taxing U.S. tech is the fix?

SCOTUS: “The Party Is Over”

More analysis from Margot Cleveland and Jonathan Turley.

Julie Kelly: Amy Coney Barrett took a blowtorch to KBJ.

Indeed: “We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”

@JonathanTurley …We have our fourth opinion. It is Mahmoud v. Taylor, by Justice Alito. Huge 6-3victory for parental rights over the ability to withdraw their children from LGBTQ lessons.The Court includes pictures from these books to drive home these points…

This Is CNN

Body language.

Update;(h/t Orson).

The top-secret Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment that claimed Iran’s nuclear sites suffered only moderate damage likely relied on faulty information from deceitful Iranian sources, according to several former U.S. intelligence officers, one of whom described the document as so unreliable “you can wipe your ass with it.”

In other winning: SCOTUS just ruled 6-3 for the Trump administration, allowing deportation of illegal aliens to a third country, not their homeland.  Maryland fathers, Andrew Coyne hardest hit.

Update: With a half hour to go before the ceasefire takes effect, Iran launched another volley of missiles, mostly because they’re retarded.

Clip of the operational details here.

Iran Parliament has voted to close the Straits of Hormuz: We’re about to get some good footage of Iranian ships being sunk.

Can Iran close the Straits? “Probably not.”

Axios: At the request of the Trump administration, the Israeli Air Force took out multiple Iranian air defense systems in the 48 hours leading up to the U.S. strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.

Evening update from Joe in the comments: Commander of IRGC Ashura garrison was shot in his car. He survived, but died when his ambulance was hit by a drone.

@Based_JediImpressive that everyone was watching the B2s in Guam when the real attack came from a different direction entirely, and not in 14 days. And most importantly, no leaks.

@wretchardthecatWith the US strike on Fordow every narrative has to be reframed. Trump as Putin’s stooge, European presumptions, China’s expectations. All in the dumpster. What world are we in? Nobody knows.

Update: Trump addresses the nation.

As an aside, every purported photo and video circulating social media of the attack has so far been a fake (old video).
