There is a word for what is happening in Miami Beach. A sitting city commissioner spent $4,000 of his own money on billboard trucks during Art Basel, criticizing the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace. JVP's lawyers have now introduced those billboards as exhibits in federal court — and are arguing that the commissioner's personal political speech is direct evidence of unconstitutional animus in their civil rights case against the city. The word is lawfare. JVP, for the record, is not a humanitarian organization caught in the crossfire. It opposes Zionism, has hosted a convicted PFLP bomber, denied the October 7 atrocities, and was ordered earlier this year to pay $677,000 for defrauding CARES Act pandemic relief funds. None of that strips them of constitutional protections. It's America. But neither should a politician's decision to spend his own money on political speech become evidence of unconstitutional animus in a federal civil rights case. That principle, once normalized, will be turned against every political movement. Eventually against the left. Eventually against everyone. Miami Beach is a test case. The outcome matters far beyond South Florida. Read my full analysis 👇justthefacts.media/p/the-lawfare-…

@angertab I don’t understand. Thousands upon thousands of prisoners will serve their sentence and be released into society. Yoga may not help all of them, but it’s a useful tool to help integrate people back into society.

@mtracey @BretWeinstein he wasn’t “despicable.” He called you out with legitimate criticism. Where he failed was dismissing all the good you’ve done, and failing to acknowledge that podcasts can serve a public good.

I guess you’ll have to judge for yourself if my behavior was “despicable,” and makes me a “bad person” -- apparently that is Bret’s take After last night’s panel, I serenaded the crowd with a quick rendition of Sinatra’s “My Way,” so I’m doing all I possibly can to entertain

@thedarkhorsepod Timestamp 2:16:00 Pretty despicable behavior from @mtracey, I must say

Panel with @BretWeinstein @Lauren_Southern today was a hoot. Subject: should we get rid of podcasts? My position: yes, by which I mean, we should definitely get rid of the current podcast media ecosystem, with all its warped and brain-melting incentives, disregard of any factual standards whatsoever, whirlwind of kook mysticism claptrap, and constant hysteria-fomenting. All of which gets rewarded richly by the algorithm. There is no penalty to be paid for spewing utter bullshit. That’s what I argue we “get rid of,” not by any punitive government action, but via social mores that somehow impose a reputational penalty for bullshit-peddling. I thought that because Bret happened to be on the panel, I would support my argument by citing some specific examples from his recent podcast oeuvre. Namely: his “game theoretical” postulation that Jeffrey Epstein is alive, as well as his affirmation that the Epstein Files prove incontrovertibly that scores of children were not just raped and trafficked, but “eaten.” Bret apparently took this to be an “ambush,” as he later characterized it to me. I was also chastised on stage for being overly “vituperative,” and advised that I should try being “nicer.” Which I declined 😂 Chatting with Bret after the panel, he was still huffy and sour. I offered that if he wanted to continue the conversation, in any format he wished (public or private), I would be more than happy to do so, as a gesture of good faith. He then claimed he figured out what my MO was all along: to “ride his coattails,” and jockey to get on his podcast. (I honestly couldn’t give less of a shit about appearing on his podcast.) When I told him this was obviously not my goal, he said: “I’m not stupid, Michael.” So anyway, it was fun times. 😂 I think the video should be available somewhere

@geraldposner @MaxBlumenthal Mr. Posner, what about Israel’s rape of Palestinian prisoners? Was this not documented in a video? and did not the entirety of Israeli society support the rapists and demand their release?

BREAKING: Israel is suing The New York Times over Nicholas Kristof’s shoddy and error-filled opinion column alleging systematic rape and sexual torture of Palestinian prisoners by Israeli guards, soldiers, and settlers. Kristof’s piece — published May 11 — has been widely criticized by independent journalists and denounced by Israeli officials as a modern “blood libel.” Kristoff relied heavily on unverified claims from sources with documented Hamas sympathies and repeating graphic allegations (including much ridiculed claims about dogs trained for sexual abuse) without any rigorous corroboration. Little wonder the NYT ran it in the opinion section and not the news. Still, that does not absolve the paper's editors of a duty to fact check and vet such an inflammatory piece. As an investigative journalist, I’ve spent decades watching how stories get distorted. This one stands out for its timing and sourcing failures: it landed just before the release of a two-year Israel investigation about detailed evidence on Hamas’s own systematic sexual violence on Oct. 7, which the Times largely ignored. Israel’s government isn’t letting it slide. The Prime Minister’s Office and Foreign Ministry have now authorized a defamation lawsuit, calling Kristof’s column “one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press.” This is NOT just another media spat. It’s a major escalation: a sovereign democracy taking on one of the most influential legacy newspapers for its reckless, agenda-driven journalism. The New York Times is standing by the piece for now. We’ll see how this plays out in court. But the mere fact that Israel felt compelled to sue speaks volumes about the state of elite media coverage of the Jewish state. I am looking forward to litigation discovery to determine what was behind Kristof's 'reporting'

Israeli officers have sodomized Palestinian prisoners to death at Sde Teiman desert concentration camp, after kidnapping them in Gaza According to a leaked UN report, one prisoner said interrogators “made me sit on something like a hot metal stick and it felt like fire,” and said another detainee “died after they put the electric stick up” his anus

I ran a quick check on the first source from the "dog rape" op-ed published by the New York Times. Sami al-Saai was arrested in 2024 for being a member of Hamas. The more you know. Source in first comment.

@WallStreetApes It's absolutely insane how people in America can see that a communist government has failed to give something as simple as eggs to its people for a year and still support communism.

Nick Shirley went to investigate Cuba and talk to the local people He was told the government gives every citizen a little ration booklet for food One person hasn’t has eggs in a year. People have to wait years to eat a piece of chicken “The government controls how much food they get and they're like, this is horrible. We haven't even had eggs in a year. Takes years to get to eat a chicken. Like stuff that you wouldn't even think about here in the United States. But because of communism and the government controlling what people can actually do and what they can eat, it dictates their entire life” Keep in mind this is what Democrats want to bring here. Karen Bass and top Democrats would literally go listen to political speeches in Cuba Nancy Pelosi and a large group of House Democrats go with Barack Obama to Cuba Barbara Lee (Congresswoman, D-CA): Visited Cuba more than two dozen times. Met with Fidel Castro multiple times Pramila Jayapal (Congresswoman, D-WA, Chair of Congressional Progressive Caucus): Recent trips in 2024 and April 2026 Ilhan Omar also went to Cuba Jonathan Jackson (Congressman, D-IL) went too This should horrify every American

At this point, many people are aware that JFK was against Israel getting nukes before he was shot in the head… What is lesser known is that he also supported the right of return for Palestinians to reclaim their homes and land…. It’s no secret why he was “removed” and who it benefited.

@FmrRepMTG Why didn’t you share the video of the marathon race they held a couple days ago. I hope you and Tucker Carlson never breed.
