So in case anybody’s counting, today he called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.” He is going to continue to do this. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody fucking stops him.

When a scientist or an engineer earns a Ph.D., it is usually based on reproducible, verifiable outcomes drawn from the laws of the natural world. When a social "scientist" earns a Ph.D. in a "social science," it is based on collating the written opinions of other "social scientists" into a heavily footnoted thesis, and those people who were footnoted earned THEIR Ph.D. based on collating the written opinions of other "social scientists" into a heavily footnoted thesis, and those people who were footnoted earned THEIR Ph.D. based on collating the written opinions of other "social scientists" into a heavily footnoted thesis, and so on, and so on. A Ph.D. in science or engineering is based on the laws of the natural world. A Ph.D. in any "social science" is based on regurgitating the writings of other people who never had to prove anything. A "social science" Ph.D. is an intellectual Ponzi scheme--one based largely on restating the (often mistaken) opinions of those who came before you as if their opinions were fact, but arranging those opinions in such a way as to create your own novel and equally untrustworthy opinion. We are at a point in society where anyone with a Ph.D. in a non-scientific or non-engineering field is more untrustworthy than random people on the street.

Democratic candidates for California governor are now openly instructing the media on the rules of engagement: they are not to be asked "gotcha questions." After all, they are not Republicans. Xavier Becerra is the latest to instruct a reporter on how to interview a Democrat...

Just a reminder of just how evil socialist are. They’re prepared to let millions die just to satisfy the fantasy that they hold the solutions to happiness.
Handre@Handre

George Bernard Shaw stood in Stalin's USSR in 1931, watching millions starve to death, and declared there was no famine at all. The Nobel Prize-winning playwright didn't just stay silent about the horror unfolding around him. He actively promoted the lie that would help Stalin cover up one of history's greatest atrocities. Shaw toured Ukraine during the height of the Holodomor, when Soviet grain requisitions had stripped peasants of every scrap of food. Conservative estimates put the death toll at 3.5 million Ukrainians. Shaw saw the empty villages, the skeletal survivors, the mass graves. Then he signed a public letter praising Stalin's "remarkable progress" and told Western journalists that reports of famine were capitalist propaganda. Why would an intelligent man become Stalin's useful idiot? Shaw believed in central planning with religious fervor. He thought brilliant intellectuals like himself could design society better than millions of individuals making their own choices. When confronted with central planning's inevitable result (mass death), he chose to lie rather than admit his ideology killed people. Shaw preferred beautiful theory to ugly facts. Shaw deliberately used his celebrity status to give Stalin cover while Ukrainian children died of starvation. He returned to Britain and spent years defending Soviet policies, even as refugee testimonies and photographic evidence exposed the genocide. The man who wrote about moral awakening in "Pygmalion" had abandoned his own moral compass entirely. Free market economists warned that socialist calculation was impossible, that without prices and property rights, economies would collapse into chaos and death. Shaw dismissed these warnings as bourgeois nonsense while standing ankle-deep in their vindication.

Hey GOP, you can stop texting me now. I’m not giving you a fucking penny until Thune starts doing his job. So the 8 texts a day while we’re not even trying to pass the SAVE act isn’t working. I block every number and you still bother me at all hours. You’re dead to me.

TODAY is the day. The DOJ must charge Fauci for lying under oath or lose the chance forever. This man oversaw gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it repeatedly, and watched as you were called crazy for asking questions. The statute of limitations expires tomorrow. The American people have waited long enough for accountability.

@mjfree You are an idiot, the Virginia Supreme Court ruling literally said that the Democrats were “illegal” in their attempts to redistrict.

Just so I understand, Republicans can ILLEGALLY redistrict but Democrats can't LEGALLY redistrict? Do I have this right?

@bluelivesmtr During Rome’s decline, Emperor Honorius paid tribute to Visigoth barbarians under Alaric (~408 AD) to avoid invasion. Similarly, under Obama the US paid Iran billions to stop enriching uranium for a nuclear weapon. Paying off your enemies, never has a good outcome.

🚨 MARC ELIAS IS MELTING DOWN LIVE. The same election lawyer who’s spent years gaming the system for Democrats just went full meltdown on redistricting. “I’ve not heard you this angry in a long time,” the host says. Elias fires back: “Have we LEARNED NOTHING?! When you do this to black voters it turns out bad for democracy for everybody!” Translation: Fair maps that actually reflect the voters are now “bad for democracy.” This is peak clown world. The left rigged maps for decades with zero complaints. Now that Republicans are finally playing the game by the same rules and winning? Suddenly it’s a crisis. When the professional cheater is this furious… you know America is winning. 2026 is going to be brutal for them.

🚨Let me ask Black America one uncomfortable question… If Democrat policies have been “helping” us for generations… why are so many of our neighborhoods still drowning in crime, addiction, broken families, educational collapse, and dependency? Decades later… And why does every Black person who thinks independently suddenly become a “traitor” the second they reject the script? This video is going to expose the manipulation… the cultural engineering… and the political theater they hope you never question. Watch this carefully.

AOC is actively trying to rewrite American History. She’s trying to get people to believe socialism is a long standing American value. It’s not.

A reminder that decades of a.) lopsided pro-Democrat gerrymanders b.) flawed censuses c.) the illicit inclusion of noncitizens for apportionment and d.) districts illegally drawn based solely on race, the Democrats have enjoyed a cushion of at least 40 extra improper house seats.

Camus@newstart_2024·
“Traditions are experiments that worked.” Louise Perry made a sharp point on Modern Wisdom: Progressives have a huge rhetorical advantage. They can always paint a shiny utopian future that’s never existed, so they never have to defend any real-world failures or trade-offs. Conservatives, on the other hand, end up defending imperfect past cultures and traditions — and immediately get hit with “so you support domestic violence / imperialism / cholera?” As Thomas Sowell said: there are no solutions, only trade-offs. Acknowledging trade-offs is fundamentally conservative — and often deeply unpopular in a world addicted to promises of perfect progress. I’ve always found this dynamic fascinating. It explains why one side feels perpetually on the defensive while the other gets to play visionary. What do you think — is the “traditions are experiments that worked” framing a stronger way to defend conservative ideas, or do you see it differently?
