@JenniferSey Nike belongs to the dustbin. Even if it tries to "correct course" by faking to appeal to the normies, will still not buy it.

Nike has a made a lot of mistakes.
They all pretty much come back to disrespecting or just forgetting about their core loyal customer. They abandoned broad reach wholesale distribution where every day folks buy (or bought) Nike. Neglected the running category. And treated women like absolute garbage. They put Dylan Mulvaney, the boob-less non athlete woman-mocker, in an ad for running bras FFS.
They went woke - yes. And elitist. And now it's hitting them hard. The stock is lower than it's been in over 10 years.

Flashback to Nike entering into a partnership with Dylan Mulvaney *soon after* the Bud Light debacle. "Marketing experts" assured us that doubling down was the right thing to do.

@ianmSC I won't say it's a national and international laughingstock. All the bureaucrats in the nation and around the world are learning from CA politicians' mastery of holding onto power while pocketing billions to themselves.

California is a national and international laughingstock because it’s the epitome of left wing political ideology. Throw money at bad ideas, double down on failure, and never fix any of the many self-inflicted problems

Is Sonia Sotomayor the dumbest Supreme Court Justice in the history of the United States?
Nearly four years ago during an official hearing on Biden's bullshit Covid vaccine mandate Sonia Sotomayor claimed that there were over 100,000 children CURRENTLY hospitalized from Covid and in serious condition... with many on ventilators.
What was the actual number? According to the CDC's own likely inflated numbers there were 140 children hospitalized at the time. Sotomayor's made up numbers were SEVEN-HUNDRED-AND-FOURTEEN times higher than the actual numbers.
But wait there's more! During this same oral argument Sotomayor also falsely claimed that:
-Covid deaths were at an all-time high.
-That the Omicron variant had been deadlier than the Delta variant.
-That OSHA's authority to regulate was a... wait for it... "federal police power."
Each one of these statements was not even close to being true... just patently false.
Again, the VAST MAJORITY of Covid misinformation came from the left. They were and are the MASSIVE superspreaders of lies.

@mattwridley The legacy media never mentions that, so, yeah, they do not understand that part.

Do people like this really not know about the ascertainment bias?
The early cases were near the market because two criteria used for identifying the early cases were: connection to the market or proximity to the market.
Alex Boge@alexboge
COVID-19 was a zoonotic spillover. Early cases cluster around the Wuhan market. Environmental samples there tested positive. Genetic data shows multiple early lineages consistent with repeated animal-to-human transmission. That’s how outbreaks start. We’ve seen it before. The lab leak story has no direct evidence. No virus. No accident. No paper trail. Just speculation stacked on “but what if.” At some point, repeating a claim with zero evidence doesn’t make it a theory. It makes it a zombie conspiracy. Undead and forever seeking what it lacks: brraaaaiinnss

@ianmSC The question is what percentage of that $180B went to Newsom's friends.
English
The thing with Gavin Newsom, why he comes across so fake and inauthentic, is that he doesn’t actually care about governing or policy. He doesn’t care about outcomes, or fraud, or improving California. He just cares about his own ambition and being president. That’s it.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
New York Post: "The best estimates suggest that, on the governor's watch, fraudsters, scammers, and organized crime rings have stolen at least $180 billion from taxpayers. Welcome to Gavin Newsom’s empire of fraud." nypost.com/2026/04/01/opi…

@pavyg Well, for this one I think it's totally understandable.

@naomirwolf Well, the "not safety concerns" part means there are no safety concerns from Pfizer & BioNTech. Of course they do not. The commoners' safety concerns are not a concern to them at all.

The View is like the New York Times where if you get your information from them you are not only misinformed you are actively anti-informed. Knowledge is taken away from you.
Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
NEW: The View's Sunny Hostin says conservatives are being "reckless" when they say women should have children. Hostin: "I think it's really reckless to be suggesting that people should have children..." Haines: "The world has over 8 billion people. We no longer need to force people to procreate and pump out babies." Navarro: "Where is the call to responsibility for the men who help make these children?" Cummings: "Wait until your kid is up and walking and you spend most of your day trying to get its shoes on... maybe let's check in with your b**bs in a year and see if you still want a lot more kids." If you want to understand why our society is degrading, just watch this video.

@NotTheirScript Let’s call it what it is. It’s been subsidized security since 1949.
English
Europe’s arrangement with the U.S. has become one-sided.
We bankroll a significant portion of their defense, maintain a global military presence that deters threats on their behalf, and absorb the strategic risk when conflicts escalate.
In return, when U.S. interests require cooperation, like basing rights, logistics, or aligned policy, we often face resistance, restrictions, or outright denial.
At some point, an alliance stops being mutual defense and starts looking like subsidized security.
Department of State@StateDept
🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement. That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.

What is going on with the professionalism of the judiciary?
The judge used 18 exclamation marks in his 35-page opinion. Four times, he started his refutation of an argument made by the defendants with “Please!”

Everyone knew the U.S. military can obliterate another country.
But what the war in Iran showed is that our military and allies cannot defend our own bases or assets, especially in a prolonged conflict.
We need an entirely new defense strategy, particularly for Indo-Pacific.
