While discussing efforts to regulate big tech and social media companies, Newsom's wife says that boys who spend time online end up moving to the right. She calls that dangerous. This time she uses Andrew Tate as the bad guy instead of Jordan Peterson. "The Gov and I, we have three more years. We're trying to institutionalize our values."

Giving them the war of their dreams was not enough. Now they demand amnesty.

Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years. Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged. A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵

The Dissident Right's flirtation with ethnonationalism is just as destructive to the American church as Critical Race Theory.

If NATO is gone, Argentina is definitely invading to retake the Falkland Islands. With Chagos, Starmer completely torched the deterrence Thatcher built with the last war. And Milei could easily take it. Britain can’t do anything. No ships. Now all of LATAM now recognizes Malvinas as Argentina’s. With them also becoming one of America’s most loyal ally, chances are high the U.S. stays out and lets it happen

The existence of outer space is not something we “hear from the government.” It’s something we hear from every civilization, every scientist in this history of western civilization and before, every human being on the planet with the vaguest understanding of the universe, every one who’s ever been to space or looked at it through a telescope or who understands basic physics, not to mention our own common sense and observations. You are rejecting the sum total of human knowledge across time and across the world going back to the dawn of civilization itself, declaring the greatest geniuses in human history like Isaac Newton to be “retarded,” and you’re doing it based on no evidence, no discernible reason, no coherent thought process at all except just your own weird feeling that something is “off” coupled with whatever bullshit you saw on YouTube. You’re right that I shouldn’t call that retarded. It’s something even more deranged than that. I’m not sure there’s a word in the English language to capture it. So congratulations, you have stumbled on a form of stupidity so mind numbingly preposterous than it defies description.
