@ConradforHarlem Over 60% of NYers paid zero dollars in City income tax last year. How much less do they need to pay this year before the tax system here is "fair" to them?

BREAKING: The Pope condemns the Iranian regime for the mass-slaughter of Iranians.

I will say it again. The Reformation was simply German autism versus Italian corruption.

DOJ releases more information about the U.S. soldier who won more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal. Gannon Ken van Dyke could face up to 60 years in prison on all charges. Prosecutors are also seizing the money he won.

Hate to say it, but Hasan represents one of the only paths forward that remains to the American Left after peak woke. All the "abundance" and "moderation" stuff is a pipe dream. Basically every major viable Democrat is already on camera, face hanging out, saying the most demented imaginable falderal about sex and race with his or her whole chest. Not only that but most of them insisted, violently, that to moderate or contest these insane positions even slightly would be the act of a murderous scumbag. You can't actually proceed from that to reinventing yourself as a centrist party, since then you become, by your own logic... a bunch of murderous scumbags! The cognitive dissonance is just too extreme, and anyway all the energetic young bloods coming up are of Hasan's variety: true believers. Charming, glib, telegenic, and totally insane. You may recall the lengthy interview between Hasan Piker and *checks notes* the current mayor of New York, where they ate donuts and dapped each other up and talked about seizing the means of production. That is where all this is headed. I have been boring the guys on @theammind podcast to tears about this for months, trying to Hasan-pill them. Our listeners have responded that oh, Hasan is an idiot, he's astroturfed, he's callow and cruel and deranged. All true. He's also hot, clickable, smooth, and persuasive to thoughtless people who read nothing which--uh-oh!--is a lot of people in this here democratic republic of ours. And now Ezra Klein is extending the Olive Branch to him in the New York Times because he can tell, as ever, which way the wind is blowing. You may not like it, but this is what peak Democrat performance looks like from now on.

“Jews will not replace us” —The alt-right, funded by SPLC.

The dissident right is actually trying to say Trump going after the SPLC is a bad thing. Truly incredible

SCOOP: Gavin Newsom funded a left-wing NGO that specializes in bringing in undocumented migrants "living with HIV." The group's executive director claims that his "queer," "trans," and "nonbinary" clients—one in five of whom is infected—almost all gain asylum in the US.

I'd feel so weird if I was Erika Kirk watching all these fake friends go mask off and laugh about Charlie's death and dance on Charlie's grave.

Hakeem Jeffries is vowing “maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time” after a Virginia redistricting win boosted Dems’ odds of retaking the House. politico.com/live-updates/2…

Ok so yeah go after the SPLC, but this calls into question the entire grant/foundation tree, because major exempt org donors to the SPLC would have a duty to ensure their grants were not used illegally. This means there has to be follow up IRS inquiry. Ford, Gates, Soros, etc.


the way kamala’s aide came up to the podium just to serve face and walk away will forever talk me out 😭😭😭😭






VIRGINIA OK, I am trying to organize my thoughts about yesterday's vote in Virginia. Here is my analysis from my capturing of the election night reporting data. There was an "f-curve" at 8:59pm that was actually preceded by a near f-curve at 8:43. These 2 updates wiped away what had been a decent lead for "no redistricting". Interestingly, at 9:16 there was another big jump for "yes". From my analysis, most of the votes from all 3 of these came from Fairfax County, one of Virginia's most reliable vote manufacturing hubs. My old pet peeve, totals going down rather than up, was way too frequent. 23 counties had at least one case of "negative votes", including Chesterfield's whopping 71,903 deduction at 10:45 this morning (April 22). Augusta had a 11,968 deduction at 10:18. A whopping 13 counties had deductions in the SAME REPORT at 7:41PM on the 21st (for a total of 18,476). This is not acceptable and needs explained. (Other than, "well these numbers aren't official". They are official enough to show on the news.) And, of course, the referendum was ultimately lost because of mail-in votes. About 10% of the total was mail-in, and about 73% were "yes". We have no way of knowing how many of these were real people casting a vote for themselves, but they added net 137,000 votes for "yes" and that is almost 50,000 more than the currently reported winning margin for "yes". (The same applies for the election of Commissar Spanberger) In summary, a completely preventable train wreck. I hope that the Republican leaders in Virginia are now convinced that mail-in ballots and machine counting are not our friends. I also hope they start asking the hard questions of counties like Chesterfield. It's going to be easiest to read this, shrug, and move on. Please don't. Please forward on, especially if you know people in Virginia. But the same thing will happen in every other state, eventually, if its not stopped. You can see the raw data for yesterday's election at votedatabase.com/2026 - select Virginia, unknown party, then statewide or whatever county you want to examine. I'm here if anyone has questions.
