Say, does anyone remember Occupy Wall Street? The hippy-dippy progressive protest movement camping out in urban areas, protesting The Corporations, and attempting to become an early version of the “autonomous zone” insurrections that erupted during the George Floyd riots nine years later. Occupy mostly died out after a few months, but they did leave behind […]
Is Al-Jazeera a news agency or a propaganda mouthpiece? This weekend, the state-funded Qatari outlet published accusations that the Israeli army had conducted a campaign of rape inside al-Shifa Hospital, where they are currently battling Hamas’ entrenched leadership and terrorism forces. Not only did this amplify the waves of criticism of the IDF’s campaign in […]
The Protection Racket Media has spent the last few weeks running with a new narrative of panic pornography: “white rural rage.” Along with “Christian nationalism,” these media explanations of the current dysfunction in American politics start and end with Donald Trump and his alleged “threat to democracy.” The general gist of these narratives is that […]
Didn’t we already know this? Almost exactly a month ago, special counsel Robert Hur released his report on the investigation into Joe Biden’s illegal retention of classified material in his home and office. Hur declined to charge Biden with a crime, explaining that a jury would be unlikely to convict an elderly man with memory […]
In today’s Amiable Skeptics episode, which will go up early this afternoon but was taped later in the day yesterday, Adam Baldwin and I briefly discussed the upcoming State of the Union speech. Adam had found a fun betting site for the SOTU, which I put in the headlines, and we made a few of […]
Chalk this up to Joe Biden’s “confusion,” as Jazz wrote about yesterday, or to his lifelong habit of flat-out lying for self-aggrandizement. Perhaps Biden is “winning” every poll in his own fantasy world, but in reality, he’s in trouble — and Democrats know it. Now that the smoke has cleared on both sides of the […]
Millions of Americans, depressed by the ideological divide in America, harbor a wish that something or someone can bridge this divide. This wish is understandable. But it is fantasy. The divide is unbridgeable. One might as well wish that daily consumption of a hot fudge sundae will […]
Do journalists have a constitutional right to keep sources confidential? That question sits at the heart of a dispute over a Fox News report from Catherine Herridge seven years ago. Herridge, who recently got unceremoniously and strangely terminated by CBS News in the Paramount Minus downsizing, used a confidential source within federal law enforcement to […]
How did Ashleigh Merchant find evidence of Fani Willis’ personal involvement with Nathan Wade and the conflict of interest and personal benefit it created for her? For the last few weeks, most assumed that it mainly came from Joycelyn Wade, the soon-to-be ex-wife of the RICO special prosecutor in the Georgia v Donald Trump et […]
Did early Christian martyrs choose to be burned alive during the Roman persecutions? Earlier today, David wrote about Leftists celebrating the bizarre suicide of Aaron Bushnell, done in nominal protest of US policy in the war between Hamas and Israel. Now we have Time Magazine attempting to normalize it by proclaiming its equivalency to the […]
