Just to make things perfectly clear…

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Yep.

@zerohedge SpaceX is neither Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac nor AIG.

@AJamesMcCarthy @dseszu @PhilipKDaniels Agreed. The universe favors clockwise (prograde) by >2:1. My comment on L = Iω was satirical.

The DSA is laying a multi-sided trap for 2028. On one side, they plan to have street riots break out like in France. On the other, they’re planning backdoor legal games in statehouses. And the midterms are just the beginning.

@DataRepublican exposed that their goal with the street riots is to force Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Then, Democrats can frame military presence as "tyranny" and defy federal authority.

Meanwhile, a separate report by Jason Snead exposes the second leg of the strategy: the National Popular Vote Compact. Backed by left-wing statehouse operatives, it only needs four more states to sign on before electors can overrule their own state’s voters, creating a legal "doomsday machine" designed to trigger mass chaos before an election is even certified.

The real prize isn't taking the White House. It’s what they’ve always wanted: if they can create enough chaos to erase public trust in our institutions, they can usher in the total destruction of our Constitution and replace it with their own power.

More than 170 House Democrats are demanding that the DOJ drop its investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) immigration history. https://t.co/VcXDhijVRx

@dseszu @AJamesMcCarthy @PhilipKDaniels And yet, our solar system contains moons that orbit retrograde. Venus and Uranus spin retrograde. Triton orbits Jupiter retrograde. So much for the conservation of angular momentum 😂

@RapidResponse47 One can game this. $1M is a lot.

[Plato’s_Cave _Shadows @False_Shadows]

@AJamesMcCarthy @PhilipKDaniels The earth and moon also both rotate prograde

@iowahawkblog This is what happens when a product transforms into a singularity, global utility — and not controlled by the government.
Watch them go crazy once orbital AI/SI becomes operational and StarLink Mobile rolls out. Technology is advancing logarithmically.

Weird. I thought someone fixed health care. What happened?

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

A college student tries to lecture Will Witt that capitalism and billionaires are the root cause of young people’s pain.

Then he asks her to explain what capitalism is, and it’s over.

WITT: “How does capitalism cause the problems that you’re seeing for young people in this country?”

WITT: “What does capitalism do?”

STUDENT: “I feel like I already kind of explained that…”

WITT: “So what is capitalism?”

STUDENT: “What do you mean what is capitalism?”

WITT: “What would you define capitalism as?”

He keeps handing her chances. She keeps refusing to take them.

WITT: “Just a definition, so we’re on the same page, because definitions are important. What would you describe capitalism as?”

Cornered, she tries changing the subject to immigrants.

STUDENT: “No, I’m saying that it’s not immigrants that are causing the problems for America.”

Witt drags her right back.

“So what is capitalism? Just tell me what capitalism is.”

STUDENT: “Okay.”

Then she walks away.

She’s not the exception. She’s the rule. A poll of 2,000 young Americans found most couldn’t define socialism or capitalism. And the more they learned about socialism, the less they liked it.

These people can tell you exactly what to hate. Just don’t ask them what it means.

CONTEXT: Capitalism pulled 1.5 billion people out of extreme poverty since 1990. Worldwide, the rate fell from 43% to 10%. Nothing else in human history comes close.

[Brit Hume @brithume]

Because nothing says "stronger strategic position" like losing your navy and air force and having your vital shipping route blockaded and your economy in free fall.

@GadSaad @Cornell Back in 1999, when the original paper was published, I wonder how he would explain today’s astounding level of incompetence by “skilled people”. There’s a lot of statistical gymnastics taken in this paper.

[Plato’s_Cave _Shadows @False_Shadows]

@TheBabylonBee I thought you only published satire 😂💀

[Plato’s_Cave _Shadows @False_Shadows]

@doc_gero Indeed.

[Plato’s_Cave _Shadows @False_Shadows]

@tomselliott 2020-2024 demonstrated that even “skilled people” are just as incompetent as “unskilled people”.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

In Michigan, Barack Obama campaigned for Abdul El-Sayed by denouncing Donald Trump for "deciding to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for and nobody voted for." I am confused. In 2011, I represented members of Congress who opposed Obama attacking Libya without authorization... https://t.co/sUbbbZpiaJ

[Dave Rubin @RubinReport]

How badly does Abdul Want money out of politics?

Well, according to public FEC filings he has spent over 51 million dollars while Mike Rogers has spent 19 million.

Imagine if we had any journalists to point this out!

[Plato’s_Cave _Shadows @False_Shadows]

@alx And so the purge begins.

@StealthQE4 Something about this looks awfully familiar 🤔
