Foraging for fictional fragile fashionable familiarity from faithless friends

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

Not one single person of average intelligence or above, is arguing in good faith that men can become women, should be allowed in women’s sports, be imprisoned with women, or be allowed in woman’s shelters. If you’re smart and hold those positions, truth is not your top priority.

[Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore]

So many people can’t begin to wrap their minds around the fact that Fauci. has always been the worst kind of corrupt evil criminal & a mad scientist killer like out of Nazi Germany. He is the modern day Mengele.

He experimented on orphaned black children with for AIDS & killed them.

He’s invented bio weapons like Covid & the fake toxic Covid vaccine that killed millions.

He’s an unimaginable mass murderer, which is why most people can’t imagine who he really is.

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

Yesterday was my final day as Director of National Intelligence. I declassified and released never-before-seen documents exposing the truth about Fauci directing millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. Go to https://t.co/tVwWp0TxZ4 to see for yourself.

The President of the United States called me a moron at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning because I’m still fighting for what he promised the American people:

Reduce big spending, DOGE, no new wars, end foreign aid, defend 1A 2A 4A, prolife, and expose sex traffickers.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🚨🇺🇸 Congressman Thomas Massie just went off on the House floor demanding full release of the Epstein files and calling out anyone trying to protect their billionaire buddies:

“Sorry if one of your billionaire donors is embarrassed because he went to Rape Island.

Some will be embarrassed. Some need to go to prison.

We’ll know this bill worked when rich men are being perp-walked to jail.”

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

This betrayal concerns every American. The integrity of our democratic republic demands that every person involved be investigated and brought to justice to prevent this from ever happening again.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

1) One of Epstein's closest friends was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.

2) A key source of Epstein's vast wealth, though mysterious, was from Les Wexner, whose primary life cause is Israel.

3) Ghislaine Maxwell's father - the billionaire Robert Maxwell -- was a Mossad agent who mysteriously died after that was reported. Though Maxwell was British, Israel gave him a state funeral when he died.

4) Epstein got the red carpet treatment when visiting Israel.

5) Epstein bankrolled major investments in Israeli tech.

(Evidence below)

But fine, if Epstein had no ties to Israeli intelligence or any other intel service - which is theoretically possible - why can't Pam Bondi, CIA and FBI say that?

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The biggest scandal of the last 5 years isn't that corporate media united to lie to the public about Biden's cognitive decline, though that is a gigantic scandal.

It's that unelected people exploited it to run the country in secret in Biden's name.

[Dave Collum @DavidBCollum]

I think people are sugar-coating this Epstein story. It is not about Pam Bondi's incompetence, although it is becoming legendary. Recall that Pam said the thousands of hours of videos were child porn and we ain't gettin' them. Well, Pam, blur out the faces or even total bodies of the kids and let us see who is buck naked ramming it in some toddler giving them panda eyes. Until then, we should assume that there are hundreds—maybe thousands—of people (male and female) who should be tried in courts with the highest standards of juris prudence and, if convicted, executed. You could auction off the right to throw the switch and solve our debt problem concurrently. Team Trump has really screwed this pooch, unless, of course, you are overtly attempting to destroy the last shards of trust in the system.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

There’s no such thing as a tax relief without spending cuts.

Gov’t can reduce the tax rate, but the spending still must be paid for.

Gov’t must borrow money (which raises interest rates & requires more taxes later) or print money (which causes inflation).

Both hurt Americans.

I just learned as much about the Iran situation, social & military, as I can imagine learning in a week of study.

Please read this. We need people who have. Seriously

Iran, The Complexity Crisis, and War https://t.co/9D1dPUx9ng

[Flo Crivello @Altimor]

Something I find obvious but am realizing is very non-consensus: almost no one should ever go to college, and people should start working at age 14-16 instead (what I did)

1/ it's a very modern idea that you're not supposed to start your active life until you're 23-25, and it's quite harmful imo.

You have all these 20-somethings that are basically babies — and worse: not only do they not realize they're late, they actually are lulled into thinking that they have all the time in the world ahead of them, that "their 20s are for fucking around." This is also an obvious and big contributor to the fertility crisis.

2/ People think that this is justified by modern jobs being much more complex / intellectually demanding.

But Ben Franklin started working full-time at 12, Carnegie at 13, Rockefeller at 16. You can't exactly argue these folks weren't smart or sophisticated, or their jobs not extremely complex.

3/ More pragmatically, ask yourself who you'd rather hire between a 22 year-old who's been working for 7 years, and one who's straight out of college. I view the former as basically senior, probably even ready to lead a team — the latter as next to useless (which is why new grads struggle to find a job so much).

It's basically common knowledge that college years are mostly spent fucking around / going to parties — insane that we accept this as normal, and that's before even talking about the hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that people get into for these party years.

So, not only people spend less of their time acquiring useful skills while in college — what little they spent is _spent less well_, because it's A) removed from a concrete context B) taught by far-left boomers with very outdated skills (recently met a new grad from a design school who was using Photoshop(!!) to design mobile apps).

I recently visited Hiroshima, and stood at the epicenter of a city scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945. What I saw, the stories I heard, and the haunting sadness that remains, will stay with me forever.

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

from “free speech means I can say what I want” (correct) to “free speech means you have to listen to me” (incorrect) to, finally, “free speech means you must be forced by law to fund my writing career” (absolutely insane). not interested, but thanks for playing.

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

it really is a wild definition of "free speech" that holds social media should be governed by a federal ministry of truth, which will monitor the plebes for "hate speech" and "misinformation," and the plebes must then be forced to pay the "correct opinion havers" on NPR

We set out to Rescue the Republic. Let's finish what we started. Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard must be confirmed.

I stand with Tulsi Gabbard.

Edward Snowden is obviously not a traitor because his intent was to protect the nation from secret, unconstitutional programs. He wasn’t working on some other nation’s behalf, nor was he trying to harm the United States.
