Today, women in Afghanistan are being shot in the streets simply for anting an education, wanting a job. Wanting to work and wanting to walk outside without a man's permission.
Taliban security forces killed one person and several wounded. Dozens arrested including women and girls.
It started last Friday, when Taliban imams announced from mosque loudspeakers that women were forbidden from leaving their homes without full hijab, including face cover.
Morality police flooded Herat's streets, markets, and shopping centers, batons in hand, arresting women for their clothing.
Just one day after some men in the West rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, normalizing them, legitimizing them, shaking their hands, you can see how savagely women being shot and beaten up in the streets.
🚨 JUST IN: Reports from Herat indicate that a number of women have been detained by Taliban in the city. Growing concern remains over their situation. Women & girls continue to face arrest due to the absence of hijab and for travelling without a male guardian. Where is the UN?
@BretWeinstein “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” so the reasonable response to an extraordinary claim made without such evidence is to doubt the claim (unless and until evidence is strong enough to support it).
Modern Democrats are not reasonable.
Of course there isn’t any “substantiated evidence” at this point in time, so that fact is meaningless as evidence either way. The results stink, though, so reasonable people with working bullsh*t detectors will be suspicious until there is a fair investigation of the results. That’s to be expected.
Now do the 2016 election. What percentage of Democrats believed that Trump was not a legitimate President during his first term?
The 2016 election is the correct one to use in comparison to 2020, and you’re misleading your readers by using an unsuitable comparison that completely ignores the widespread “election denial” of Democrats for almost all of Trump’s first term.
Mail-in ballots favor Democrats.
OK, fine.
Spencer Pratt was never going to lead in mail-in ballots.
But what is the justification for mail-in ballots received BEFORE the election vastly favoring Karen Bass, and the ones received AFTER the election favoring Nithya Raman?

Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”
“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
OK, serious question:
If Zionism disappeared tomorrow, would corruption disappear with it?
Would crime disappear?
Would dictators suddenly become honest?
Would broken economies magically recover?
I don’t think so.
Yet somehow, for millions of people, “Zionism” has become the universal explanation for every failure.
No free speech? “Israel.”
No safety? “Israel.”
No accountability? “Israel.”
No future? “Israel.”
At some point, anti-Zionism stops being political analysis and becomes an escape from responsibility.
Because once a society is taught that all suffering comes from one external enemy, people stop demanding reform from the people actually ruling them.
And that’s the trap.
The cruel irony is that the obsession itself becomes part of the collapse.
This was the top of the New York Times last night. The first thing every reader sees the moment they land on the homepage of the most influential news outlet on earth. All three stories about Israel.
There is a famous communications scholar named Maxwell McCombs who developed what is now called the "agenda setting theory."
His core finding is simple: The press is not very good at telling people what to think. It is extraordinarily good, however, at telling people what to think ABOUT.
And what the New York Times has decided you should think about, every single day, multiple times a day, forever and always, is Israel.
You cannot saturate the most influential newsroom in the English language with relentless coverage of one small country and then act surprised when the public becomes similarly hyper-fixated with it.
The animosity we constantly see is the predictable output of editorial selection, repeated daily, until it becomes the background music of how people think about the Jewish state.
@BretWeinstein I doubt Hunter wrote those posts - they are not his style. No swear words or any vulgarity at all. No misspellings in every sentence. No random misogyny. Etc.
They killed my 2 year old great aunt at Auschwitz, along with every single person in her entire extended family - 79 people - except for her mother and my grandfather, the latter of whom the family had been able to hide in 1939 after one of his school friends died unexpectedly.
My great grandmother weighed 72 pounds when she was liberated, and she carried the scars of the medical torture she endured for the rest of her life. She was also left sterile, and deeply traumatized.
When she tried to go back to the house her family had owned for a hundred years, a neighbor family had moved in, and threatened her life if she didn’t leave town and never come back. When she tried to collect her parents’ life insurance, with the numbers her father had made everyone memorize, the insurance company said that without proof of death, they wouldn’t pay.
The only thing on that list that’s happening to trans people is the sterilization —- but y’all are doing that to yourselves. It is unbelievably offensive to victims of actual genocide for you to pretend that men being told to use men’s spaces is even in the same ballpark.
In 1979, the mullahs tortured the Shah's favourite horse to death.
The horse, Azar, was paraded in the streets. They broke his legs, cut his tongue out, and then shot him in the head in front of a large crowd.
Iran is occupied by demons from hell.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s secret 1982 blueprint (known as “The Project”) described that organization’s plan to use the Palestinian issue to further its goal of creating a global Islamic state.
Here is the description from @RAIRFoundation and a screenshot of a relevant excerpt from “The Project.”
