Some thoughts at last night’s Jewish American Summit from The Green Prince, son of the co-founder of Hamas.

Climate change caused Nepal's deadly flooding, say the media. It's nonsense. In truth, climate activists diverted billions in USAID and UN climate funding from low-cost flood death prevention, mostly sensors and sirens, proven to save lives, into woke green ESG nonsense.

“Truth Under Fire” is not about politics—it’s about how perception is shaped, truth is distorted, and free speech is at risk.

So much of what you're hearing about data centers is not true, and quite a bit of it is coming directly from China. The CCP would love it if we killed our AI development, and they're doing their best to kill it.

🚨 https://t.co/5ajzizjI8F STRIKES AGAIN: TRUMPBLOGS, FORMERLY KNOWN AS NOBLOGS 🚨
🏴 THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL ON NOBLOGS, MAPPED — EVERY BLOG, EVERY CELL, EVERY CITY. 🌍

The militant far-left has spent years hiding in plain sight on https://t.co/HFD4sxphTk — the anonymous blog network that quietly powers antifa, anarchist, squat, and "solidarity" cells around the world. So on my own time, for free, I scraped the whole thing. Because I kick commie *** for fun and need no government funding or sanction for it.

Introducing an interactive map of 7000+ blogs across many countries and languages — antifascist, anarchist, ecological, prisoner-solidarity, migrant-border, revolutionary. Every one classified, geolocated, and searchable down to the verbatim quote.

* 🔥 Verified quotes. Every claim is a receipt — their words, not mine.
* 🌐 4000-plus blogs pinned to a live world map — zoom into your own city.
* ⚔️ Many blogs classified "operational."
* 🕸️ Click any blog, author, or cell and walk the network one tie at a time.

No grant funded this. No client asked for it. I do this for free, on my own time, because someone should.

🖥️ Data-heavy! Best viewed on desktop.

📖 A preview of what's coming: DataRepublican v2.0 — full site redesign — launches soon, ahead of my and @JoshuaLisec book UNELECTED (Passage Press, Oct 13).

And yes — if I can map the anarchist international in my spare time, I can map anything.

I’m sick of all the blackpilling. Could more be done? Yes. I’d personally have gone on a warpath after Charlie was murdered but don’t fall for the BS that it didn’t matter who won the last election. It mattered. Crime is down, overdoses down, DEI down, deportations ⬆️, etc. Yes, I want more and likely won’t be satisfied but every single one of us who voted for Trump helped prevent the fall of our Republic. Be proud of all the good that HAS happened. It gets very little attention amid the wars and other issues.

Try to follow along:

1 - Three sources from @FBI tell @CBSNews that they were familiar with a video of Ms. Kerkhoff at home "playing with her puppies" at the time the J5/J6 boom-booms were placed.

2 - After we revealed there were no "puppies," but instead only one adopted adult greyhound, that story was changed to: the video shows she was at home "caring for her dog."

3 - When the lawsuit was filed, the new iteration was: the video doesn't actually show Ms. Kerkhoff ... at all. But you can hear her voice off-camera talking about the dog twitching in its sleep.

4 - The US Government tells us on Friday that this dog twitching video was made at Ms. Kerkhoff's home in Falls Church, VA (3 times):

-"...the investigation established that Kerkhoff was at home in Falls Church, Virginia on the evening of January 5, 2021, with Sergeant Dickert and their dog."

-"Sergeant Dickert’s cellphone contained a video from inside their Falls Church home depicting their dog and
capturing Kerkhoff’s voice timestamped 7:37:48 p.m. on January 5."

-"...the extensive evidence collected by the FBI establishing that Kerkhoff was in her Falls Church home with Sergeant Dickert and their dog at the time the defendant was planting the pipe bombs in downtown Washington, D.C."

*(The bombs weren't planted in "downtown" D.C., but let's not quibble over the minor errors.)

5 - Today, the Government tells us that the "extensive evidence collected by the FBI," that "established" the video capturing Kerkhoff's voice was made in HER "Falls Church home, was a ... wait for it ... "clerical error." They were actually in Alexandria, VA.

Here is the best insight you will get into what really needs to happen with the beef industry after the President’s latest action, from one of the smartest, most honorable people I know, Ammon Blair, Senior Fellow with the Texas Public Policy Foundation:

I agree with President Trump that we have to break the stranglehold a handful of large processors have on the cattle market and give American ranchers a real opportunity to process and sell their own beef. 🥩

But processing is only one part of the problem.

We need Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling.

If an American rancher raises cattle here, that rancher should be able to distinguish that product in the marketplace, and American consumers should be able to look at a package of beef and know whether the animal was born, raised, and processed in the United States.

We also need real enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act.

Competition means very little if independent producers are still dealing with market concentration, unfair practices, retaliation, weak price discovery, and limited access to buyers.

We have to restore an actual competitive cattle market too.

When dominant packers can secure large portions of their cattle through formula contracts and other captive supply arrangements, they do not have the same incentive to compete aggressively in the open market. At the same time, the shrinking cash market can still help establish the price used in those contracts.

That is backwards.

We need enough negotiated trade to establish meaningful price discovery, and we need to address procurement practices that allow dominant packers to control cattle supplies without truly competing for them.

We also cannot allow the cattle industry to go the way of poultry and hogs.
One of the reasons independent cattlemen have remained independent is that the packer generally does not control the animal from birth to slaughter.

We should be very cautious about further vertical integration that allows a handful of companies to control genetics, production contracts, feeding, slaughter, processing, distribution, and access to the consumer.

We need more independent cattlemen, more independent processors, and more competing buyers—not a system in which the same handful of companies increasingly control the animal, the processing, the distribution, and access to the consumer.

If we are serious about helping ranchers process their own beef, then we also have to fix the regulatory side.

A rancher can spend enormous amounts of money building a small processing facility and still get buried trying to obtain and maintain inspection.

USDA should recognize that a family scale processor is not the same operation as a plant slaughtering thousands of animals a day.

Small processors need clear and predictable rules, timely inspection, due process, and people inside USDA whose job includes helping legitimate small businesses comply and stay open.

We should also expand state inspection and interstate shipment opportunities.

A safe, properly inspected local processor should not be trapped inside one state's borders simply because of the inspection program under which it operates.

If the plant meets the required food-safety standards, government should be helping that business reach more customers rather than creating unnecessary barriers to market entry.
Then there is market access itself.

Ranchers and independent processors need a realistic way to sell to consumers, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, hospitals, military installations, correctional facilities, and other institutional buyers.

Giving somebody the ability to process beef does not solve much if the same concentrated distribution and retail system keeps them from reaching the customer.
Government procurement is part of that too.

Federal, state, and local agencies purchase enormous amounts of food. Those contracts should not automatically be written at a scale that only the largest corporations can fulfill.

Actually, we do know why K-12 educational test scores and grades are declining. This is the first generation where kids have a massive number of teachers more focused on critical theory, pride flags and wokeness than they are on basic math and reading (let alone the harder stuff).

At the same time the left has created policies to allow disruptive students to be coddled during class time AND they break from lessons to allow translation for students who don’t speak English. Both of which end up hurting the other students.

On top of that they’ve begun to attack gifted programs because not enough minorities of the correct shade of skin are in them, all in the name of "equity", which once again punishes excellent kids of all races. All incentives to be excellent are being removed from schools in favor of outcomes where everyone feels good on the inside.

Then you have the acceptance of failure in the name of "equity" where we graduate kids who can’t even read because it might hurt their feelings to hold them back and force some accountability. Beyond that, the average teacher has a lower IQ today than they did 20 years ago (hence the crazy politics most of them have) and we culturally allow disgusting things to go on in schools.

Once you get past that, the 2 largest teachers unions are both more focused on getting raises for themselves, getting pervy books into kids hands and funneling money to Democrat politicians than they are on good outcomes for kids. The truth is that we keep giving them more money and the outcomes get worse each year. This is what happens when nearly all of academia becomes a political operation to seed and serve an ideology, instead of serving kids.

Oh and tests. The woke intelligentsia decided that tests are racist because white kids and Asians performed better on average so they threw out a bunch of the tests that actually challenge kids and identify talent that needs to be fostered. This had the added bonus of once again zapping any competitive spirit or fire to be the best from kids.

And I almost forgot, the industry made kids their guinea pigs for gender confusion, masking, lockdowns and isolation learning where they didn’t see their peers for a long time. This had enormous psychological impacts.

What exactly are you confused about?

I am proud to stand with Data Republican. She is genuinely doing everything she can to stand up to the people trying to destroy this country. There are good people working for the Admin who are in the fight every day, like her. Unfortunately they seem to be outnumbered by traitors & the deep state. So no surprise one of the most effective is being attacked.

So this article & others like it are precisely why @datarepublican is being targeted. Everyone should study this piece & share as widely as possible. So important to understand these networks of treason & betrayal.

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

I love this quote from you. It describes exactly what it feels like to cross the Rubicon on this issue.

“To be honest, I’m scared s–tless right now,” he wrote. “I have no idea how the next few months or years are going to play out. But that fear beats the indignity of being muzzled.””

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

"I’m scared sh*tless right now. I have no idea how the next few months or years are going to play out. But that fear beats the indignity of being muzzled."

He knew the risks, understood what was at stake, & still walked away because it was the right thing to do.

Moral courage.

Not one but two foreign-born TSA agents I attempted to communicate with at Dulles airport this morning did not have sufficient English language skills to answer questions. A bit disconcerting.

[Dr. Naomi Wolf. 8 NYT Bestsellers. DPhil, Poetry. @naomirwolf]

I was in an Uber in LA yesterday with a driver recently arrived from China who had zero English. Like zero - not ‘hello’, or ‘fine’ to ‘how are you.’ He raced along a freeway I did not recognize and I couldn’t see his screen to check the destination. When I asked ‘What address do you have??’ — as it looked as if we were leaving the city — he so completely didn’t understand me that I had to look up a Mandarin character for ‘what is the address’ and showed it to him in a tik tok video as we sped along at 75 miles an hour. Lack of English is a safety issue among all the other issues it represents.
