I understand partisanship. But how do you live in LA and then say, “Yeah, what we really need is a communist in charge. That’ll fix things.”

@k_mahlburg You're not this imbecilic, right?

The gender pay gap, it turns out, is real. Now we'll stop hearing about it though!

Farallon Capital Management under your direction held equity investments in major oil/gas companies and related firms such as: $80 million in BP shares (2011) which has partnered with Chevron all across the globe. $220 million in Nexen, the Canadian oil sands producer which was later bought by the Chinese National Oil company. (China Good, Chevron Bad apparently.) $125 million in Kinder Morgan which owns pipelines of which Chevron is an anchor shipper in those pipelines. And natural gas equipment makers like Westport Innovations and Fuel Systems Solutions which make oil field services equipment used by --- Chevron. Your former hedge fund's $500,000,000 investment portfolio would probably disagree....

what in the hunger games

Says the guy who thinks it's perfectly fine to import a quarter-million barrels of Iraqi oil into CA. Every. Damn. Day.

If all cultures were the same, there would be multiple Americas across the globe. But there's only one. And it's a culture we have to defend at all costs.

Everyone in America needs to read this story. Our taxpayers are being robbed blind by foreigners who have no business being here in the first place. The Somali scammers have abused their welcome and all need to go back. dailywire.com/news/medicaid-…

“I have never understood why it is 'greed' to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.” Thomas Sowell

"Late stage capitalism" was coined by Werner Sombart in 1914. Socialists have been calling it "late stage" for over a hundred years now.

The Pratt campaign is interesting because he intuitively understands that the only path to victory is through a media spectacle. California is a one-party state, and the entire institutional apparatus is designed to create a closed system ruled by the Left. Mobilizing the public via media narratives is the only avenue for shifting public opinion, and, perhaps, votes. The Pratt campaign is still a long shot, but he is playing the game with style and skill. If I were in Los Angeles, I would cast my vote for him.

Iran fired over 20 projectiles at the UAE and Oman today, effectively ending the ceasefire. Bernie Sanders? Silent. AOC? Silent. Ilhan Omar? Silent. Chris Murphy? Silent. Rashida Tlaib? Silent.

According to Tucker, Trump has a magic spell aura that makes people submit to his will. This apparently works on everyone except Benjamin Netanyahu, for some reason.

The combination of illegal alien apportionment, flawed censuses, and unconstitutionally racially-gerrymandered districts created an artificial 40 plus house seats for Democrats.

WELL WELL WELL… WaPo did a study projecting the impact of a "proof of citizenship" mandate for national elections. Trump would've won New Mexico!

@joekent16jan19 @abierkhatib Dude STFU, you’re an expert in nothing

The sooner we recognize this hard truth—that there’s no military solution to the conflict with Iran—the better off the United States will be. Sheer military force cannot reopen the Strait of Hormuz without escalating the war and sucking us into another endless, bloody quagmire that delivers zero benefit to our people. We can’t get rid of the emboldened government in Tehran, regardless of how many leaders we kill. If we try we will end up with a government or failed state, worse than what we have now. The inevitable reality is this: we will have to cut a deal with Iran. We can be pragmatic and do it now on our own terms, or we can keep listening to the same neocons and the Israeli government who got us into this mess, only to cut the same deal after we’ve lost even more. Recognizing that we have hit the point of diminishing returns and pulling out now is not weakness. It is strength—and it’s the right thing to do for the American people.

@iamgabesanchez @spencerpratt RATIOD 🤡

.@spencerpratt's mayoral run is a blatant grift. He's weaponizing the wildfires for sympathy while chasing taxpayer-funded perks, including the mayor's mansion. When questions surfaced about his eligibility after moving to his parents' Santa Barbara County home, he took out an SBA loan, bought an Airstream trailer, and had it craned onto his burned Pacific Palisades lot just to manufacture LA residency for his campaign. Why should anyone trust him to manage a city when he couldn't manage his own checkbook? He and Heidi torched $10 million on her failed music career, $4,000 bottles of wine, and a million-dollar crystal collection before nearly declaring bankruptcy. Now he wants access to City Hall and all the perks that come with it?

I'm done with the "you're a jew" people. Fuck all of you. You're not edgy. You're not smart. You're fucking MORONS with no actual nuanced understanding of anything.

I have found that you can really get away with quite a lot just by adopting a particular affect when talking to liberals about controversial topics. The most important thing, the thing everything hinges on, is that they have to be convinced that you’re basically just like them, a good person just like them, not somebody on the other side. You have to hedge a lot, sprinkle your language full of, “to be sure” and other qualifiers. You don’t want to be too direct. If something is too controversial, then you want to signal convincingly that it brings you no pleasure to report it, that you’re not saying you like it. And you have to try very hard to be reassuring, to make them believe that above all you are concerned with the welfare of the people most harmed by these revelations. You have to go into it believing that it’s your job to manage their emotions throughout the entire conversation and remain attuned to how various pieces of information are hitting their ears, adjusting your approach based on how well they’re handling it. You have to talk to them, in other words, sort of as you would to a small child whose pet has just died. I’m not saying you should do this or that you’d even want to, but I am telling you that it works.

women moved left while men stayed sane because social media algorithms optimized for emotional reactions while society implemented more censorship policies women are more emotional and reactive (higher neuroticism across every culture studied), so they got captured while men largely ignored the feeds (or got captured by different things: porn, gambling, video games, manosphere) smartphones and social media built a culture where shock, outrage, and emotional bait won every engagement war and obviously women responded to it harder than men. facebook 2006, iphone 2007, instagram 2010 all coincide with more female leftism. teenage girl's mental health collapse closely correlates with this too the algorithms weren't designed to capture women but attention, and it ended up capturing the half more sensitive to consensus pressure first. women also complain more, and in a feminized society complaints carry institutional weight. universities, HR, media, education, healthcare etc, every institution they enter bends toward what they feel. censor any disagreement that seems "mean" and you get an algorithmically captured society. so they live in a made-up reality where everything validates their collectivism, their victimhood and their certainty that anyone who disagrees is evil (the TV and the movies and the media say so, so it must be true). four years of college, then thirty years inside institutions that never push back and you get this

2018. Jake Tapper: "The United States was attacked by Russia...the American people were attacked!" Tapper talked about how serious the "Russian attack" on the country was in 2016 and he ridiculed and questioned the patriotism of anybody calling it a hoax. Tapper believed the Russia hoax religiously and he devoted his show to it for over two years. The best part was at the end when Tapper told Colbert that at least by January of 2025, Trump surely won't be President any longer.🤣 Tapper actually had the nerve to tell JD Vance in 2024 that he never insinuated that Trump colluded with Russia.
