Area 47

@C_3C_3 If California elects Democrats, they deserve what they will eventually get. Normies need to get out while they're still able!

Over the last 20 years… Elections decided on Election Night: Republicans: 52% Democrats: 48% Elections decided AFTER Election Night: Republicans: 20% Democrats: 80% This is totally insane. Nothing to see here…

@mtomasky Pelly was an employee - not a god. Please. We are laughing. 😂😂😂

The firing of Scott Pelley will reverberate in American journalism history as a symbolic execution of the single most groundbreaking and successful news program in the annals of U.S. broadcast television. trib.al/PDkihfF

@JakeSherman @mtgreenee TDS is treatable?

@mtgreenee what treatments?

I’m 52 and enjoying a weekend out on medical tourism for my health. It’s a damn shame that not only do Americans pay absurd amounts for health insurance and healthcare, we also don’t have access to incredible treatments at home. More to come on this.

@realsashastone I think it's crystal clear at this point that Megyn has no problem leaving one audience for another. She's done it many times now. No sane person does that because their principles change - they do it for money. She smells money and is chasing it.

(long read) I learned a lot about journalism from Megyn Kelly. I watched her interview Tara Reade when it was scandalous to do so. I thought she always chases the story, no matter what. When she shifted to opinion-based commentary, it was great when we aligned. I thought, she's chasing the story. But I realize now that it's probably because I agreed with her, and it felt like she was speaking for me through a loud microphone. People ask me why I care about her or why I keep wrestling with everything that's happened - but that's why. It isn't just that she graciously had me on her show twice, even though I'm a terrible interview and have no business being on camera, and that boosted my profile significantly, so I'll always be grateful for that. The problem was that once she was challenged directly and contradicted by Ben Shapiro and then Bari Weiss over loathsome succubus and liar Candace Owens, that's when I saw something I never thought I'd see. I saw Megyn reporting as though what she was saying was the objective truth rather than using her platform to punish or destroy her enemies. Where she would have been the person defending Bari Weiss, she took the side that CBS News and 60 Minutes are collapsing. Where she would have taken the side that Candace Owens' unending stalking of Erika Kirk was disgusting and immoral, she stayed silent, said nothing, as if it wasn't the biggest story. When Gad Saad's Suicidal Empathy came out, he did not appear on her show. Why? Because he called her out on X and correctly reminded her she was wrong about Israel manipulating her into demonizing Muslims. She decides to align with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ana Kasparian ("I love her"), Carrie Prejean Boller ("I love her"). It feels almost sadistic in a way because even if Megyn doesn't say the same things, you get the feeling these others are saying it for her. They all are so certain Israel's influence on our politics is destroying us like a cancer -- as though they have more power than, say, Big Pharma or Big Oil or Big Ag or the trade policies that sent jobs overseas for cheap labor. She paints the picture that MAGA is falling apart and is only popular among people who watch one of her other enemies, Mark Levin. And this, too, is masked by a kind of objectivity when it is entirely personal. Finally, thinking it's better to pander to the young rather than teach them or guide them is where she, and all of these podcasters will ultimately fail. When the young find out that divesting from Israel, getting Jews out of our politics, etc. has absolutely zero impact on their lives or on the wars we will or won't fight -- they will realize that these folks were lying to them, giving them an easy scapegoat. And for that, they will never forgive. When I saw that Megyn unfollowed me on X I felt hurt, I will admit. I had tried not to attack her. I defended her many times. I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I refuse to throw her away or decide she is a bad person (like Candace Owens, for example). That's not my place to say. I don't want to be on the side attacking people. I don't want to see the Right attack each other. I would love to not be talking about this or writing about it. My algorithm is filled with nothing but this - seeing the same clips over and over again with Megyn saying this, Megyn saying that has a dehumanizing effect - and I try to fight against that. I'd like to just move on and not have to confront this reality. But I also know that this machine, this social media site, is built for battle. We are fighting a Civil War virtually between Right and Left. But now, we're also fighting wars among each other because that seems to work better for the algorithm. The algorithm likes conflict. It likes passion - love or hate. It likes tribal warfare. It is a great way to manipulate or propagandize whole groups of people. And yet, for me, I can't just log off. It is sadly my main way of having any kind of social life. I care about defeating the Left more than I do just about anything else. I know what waits on the other side for MAGA especially and I worry for them. They helped make Megyn's platform what it is and now, she's throwing them under the bus. And for what? Because her feelings were hurt? I almost think things were better before, when Megyn worked for a network, and we were all just an audience that could tune in whenever we wanted. Building a personal relationship with your audience means there will come a time when that relationship is tested. And in this case, Megyn has left a trail of tears, and her response to them is f*ck off. She obviously can think and say whatever she wants, but for her audience's sake, she should be clear that what she is saying is not the accepted truth or reality. It is her own opinion.

@live_durable I used to go through a roll of Tums a day. Then I learned of the best antacid on the planet... Apple cider vinegar. On sip and acid is gone!

What if acid reflux isn’t caused by too much acid? A functional medicine doctor says that’s where most people go wrong. And why relief doesn’t last. Click below to discover what’s really going on. ↓

@NancyMace My guess is YOU did that

Who did this?! 🩷

@ByronYork @BlueBoxDave Well... it will probably be the cocaine and dick pics that finish him off.

The Democratic mess in Maine. If the Nazi tattoo wasn't the end of it, and if the Reddit posts weren't the end of it, why should anyone think the sexting will be the end of embarrassing revelations about Graham Platner? washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/459…

@catturd2 Stupidity has no place in America ( or congress! ) yet here we are....

Incoming liberal nuclear meltdown in … 4 … 3 … 2 …

Would you care to remind America about what your husband did to the room off the Oval Office??

@loisromano Voters don't have a right to know everything about the person they are going to elect Senator for the next six years? Only if they are a Republican, right?

@ChimpWithMoney How do we know if their mental health professionals are making progress?

Much like his friends in Hamas, Graham also uses women as human shields

@ettingermentum Woke 1.0 failed because the left cooked up really bad ideas that translated to horrible, deadly policy. 2.0 isn't going to happen for generations.

For those of us (nearly everyone) who recognize Woke 1.0 as a failure, what’s something specific you’re willing to say it got wrong? Here’s mine: the practice of describing policies that were, like, Kerner Commission recommendations as “prison abolition” to get attention was dumb

@EliLake Eli, you are funny as heil...

I did Nazi that coming

@KurtSchlichter Tim is gay. He probably meant Talifreako is hot, not the paid escort.

Hot?

@realsashastone Hopefully @MarkHalperin gets untangled from her brand of crazy before it tarnishes the reputation he's worked so hard to rebuild!

I do not recognize her anymore - what a bizarre nightmare.

@willchamberlain They all give off "Creepy Preacher vibes".

The Democratic Party is structurally adversarial to straight white men, so the straight white men that remain in the party are all weirdos

@catturd2 Megyn is spitting mad! There's blood coming out of her.... 😂😂😂

The doomer grifters need clicks again - yawn.

@catturd2 Watching two of the most disgusting people on earth give each other a tongue bath has serious consequences. The Hazmat team just left my house.... ☢️

😂😂😂😂😂

@ChrisMurphyCT Vaping saves lives that would have been taken by cigarette smoking cancers. Flavors help ex-smokers forget about tobacco and break their addiction. Are you pro-cancer?

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy #donation-big-tobacco-vaping" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/05/2…

@tj_ermoian @seanmdav @MostlyPeaceful Anyone who brags about having a "boner phone" is not principled.

@seanmdav @MostlyPeaceful I can praise Massie for being principaled. Unfortunately, he allowed perfect to be the enemy of Good.

Why did Massie lose tonight? Massie went from principled libertarian during COVID, to GOP leadership lapdog under McCarthy, to anti-Trump Epstein obsessive in 2025 after tweeting about that issue a whopping three (3) times in the decade prior. The nail in the coffin for him was voting against OBBB in 2025 because, according to Massie, it did too much to secure the border. Trump mercilessly trashed Massie in 2020–calling him a “disaster” for America and Kentucky and saying he should be thrown out of the GOP entirely—but Massie easily swatted that away and won 81-19, so you can’t say he only lost because of Trump. He went toe-to-toe with Trump on COVID in 2020 and won overwhelmingly. Massie lost because he went from being perceived as a quirky but lovable nerd who seemed to genuinely believe everything he said, to looking like a clout-chasing influencer who cared more about getting TV time with Democrats on an issue he clearly never cared about until five minutes ago than he did about representing his voters. We’ll never know what caused the apparent personality change—maybe it was the death of his wife, maybe it was the McCarthy race followed by McCarthy’s ouster, or maybe it was a desire for notoriety or media acclaim and a lucrative podcasting career outside of Congress—but the drastic change was undeniable, as was the seeming lack of interest in much of anything happening in Kentucky. Blame Trump, blame Israel, blame Epstein, blame the tragic death of a spouse, I don’t care. But you cannot just wave away 2020 Massie going face-to-face with the Trump machine and winning in a rout only to get smoked six years later. Massie’s voters didn’t really change all that much, but he did, and they noticed.
