I am told that I congealed over three decades ago on a quiet day. As a toddler, I took a strong liking to playing games that involved small, yet intricate, toys

Coffee With Scott Adams 5/19/25 https://t.co/miG4jySdsD

[Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays]

Business is a domain in which inexperienced people often imagine themselves to be smarter than the most successful leaders.

Here are some of the worst takes on DOGE from our least experienced citizens.

1. "DOGE should use a scalpel, not a chainsaw."

2. "The cuts need to be more thoughtful."

3. "DOGE is lowering morale among the affected."

4. "DOGE is creating chaos."

5. "DOGE is how Musk will rob the country."

6. "Musk was not elected."

7. "DOGE needs to be more transparent."

If you find yourself tempted to say any of those things in public, I recommend taking the week off of social media.

Every bleeding-heart liberal I talk to about the Russia-Ukraine war wants to keep feeding bodies into the meat grinder forever.

They have no plan for success.

Superficial empathy, not real empathy.

[Larry Correia @monsterhunter45]

The people arguing for “slow and measured” “careful” cuts to government are full of shit. By the time we got done putting together their bipartisan Committee To Evaluate The Paperwork To Assess Government Efficiency it would take 36 years to produce, hire another hundred thousand new government employees (99% of which are democrats) and cost a trillion dollars (mostly dedicated to DEI, NGOs in NoVa, and funding Transexual Peruvian Orchestras).

And in 2061 when the Federal Department of CTEPAGE completed its report it would be hailed as a huge victory because the government only quadrupled in size during that time, while the rest of America is eating rats cooked over fires fueled by our now worthless money to survive.

They’re lying. We know they’re lying. We are way past the fake civility nonsense where we have to pretend to take their concerns seriously. Don’t coddle their bullshit. We won. Steamroll these statist fucks.

There’s nothing neocons love more than “policing the right.” Wouldn’t you love to police your opposition? How convenient it must be to declare what your opponents are and aren’t allowed to say and do. It’s what neocons—former Democrats who ingratiate themselves among the right for the sole purpose of nagging them into fighting unnecessary wars and leaving the bulk of Democrat policy in place—have done for 60 years, going back to the John Birch Society, which was nagged out of polite society for being too anti-communist and threatening the breadbaskets of far too many D.C. elites.

And as always, anyone to the right of the neocons is branded as “far right”—as if cultural Democrats, who sat by while the wokesters took over their party and held the country hostage with their insanity, are the true arbiter of the ideological center of the country.

To understand how absurd this is, ask yourself how it is that 21st century Democrats came to power in this country in the first place: it was due entirely to George W. Bush dutifully enacting the neocon agenda, blowing up the Middle East, and all but handing the country to Barack Obama for eight years, plus another four under the residency of Joe Biden.

And what did these wise, neocon sages do while Obama turbocharged the Democrat party with some of the most disastrous and divisive identity politics? Nothing. In fact, they told Republicans to pick John McCain and Mitt Romney as their nominees. Not because they might win, but because they didn’t have a chance. They were the perfect neocon candidates, losers who threatened neither Democrat power nor neocon foreign policy dogma.

And when Trump defied the odds to win in 2016, did they get behind him? Of course not. Because they’re Democrats and also aggressive agitators for needless military intervention, which Trump stridently opposes. Instead, they spent four years providing moral, rhetorical, and often even financial and logistical support to cripple, obstruct, and even overthrow the Trump presidency.

Did they lift a finger or raise a voice to protest the Russian collusion hoax, one of the most destructive hoaxes ever perpetrated on this nation and her people? Nope. What about the Ukraine impeachment hoax? Oh surely you jest.

Sure, they said the wokery was too much after watching it build unabated for a decade, that maybe we shouldn’t be forcing girls to get beat up by boys in dresses pretending to be female athletes (and even then, it was only done after mocking those of us on the right who predicted all this a decade ago). But that’s where it ended. Like a pawl in a ratchet, as soon as the right took power, the neocons immediately clicked into place to prevent the left-wing bolt from being loosened.

And that right there is why you see the immediate pivot from mildly defending against only the most extreme aspects of late-stage wokery to standing athwart history, yelling “Stop!” at anyone who’s actually making progress dismantling the left and reversing its damage on the country.

You’ll notice in this latest attempt to police anyone to her right that Weiss throws around lots of charges of Nazism and right-wing radicalism that is allegedly taking over the “new right.” This is being done to position anyone who objects to her rhetorical motte and bailey construction as a Hitler-loving fanatic. What you won’t find are specific names of anyone with these views who has any real political power or persuasion. No major Nazi-infested institutions with the power to shape opinion are listed. No American politicians who serve as the standard bearer for a new Hitler are named.

That’s because there are none. It’s all smoke and mirrors meant to trick and manipulate. Is Nazism bad? Of course it is. Is it a force in American politics today? No, of course it isn’t, and anyone who asserts otherwise is either delusional or dishonest. In fact, the opposite is likely true: of the two major European ideologies that were at war with each other 80 years ago, the only one with any real hold on a sizable segment of a major American political party in 2025 is the Marxism that powered the Soviet Union and now seems to power the majority of university academic lounges. Swap out class for race in the Marxian ideology, and you’ll find the engine that powered a multi-billion dollar political movement in America just five years ago. It wasn’t Nazis bullying every major Fortune 500 company into funding riots and violence in 2020 on behalf of a discredited and deadly World War II-era ideology. All the cultural power today is with the communists, not the Nazis.

So read this post from Bari Weiss for what it is: a naked attempt to set her own rules and pick her own opponents in such a way that only she and her co-ideologues can come out on top. I don’t blame her for trying, as this same tired shtick has worked for far too long. But I suspect Weiss and her allies know that those days are over. And that’s the real reason the fear the “new right”: they finally have an opponent who refuses to be emotionally manipulated into surrender.

As if it wasn't bad enough that hundreds of violent Jan. 20, 2017 Antifa rioters had all their charges dropped, the federal government agreed to pay out $1.6 million to some of the arrestees who sued.

[Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber]

NATO is building the largest NATO military base in all of Europe in Romania, right on Romania's Black Sea coast pointing at Crimea, the crux point of contest in the Russia-Ukraine war.

NATO feared the man who won Romania's now-canceled election would cut or shut the base down.

Send this to you retard friends and family crying about tariffs!

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

650,000 Ukrainian men left when the war began as they didn’t want to die to keep some ethnically Russian enclaves inside some map line.

As for your country? The UK is fully cucked. No military might, and it’s a police state of its own. Would make Putin blush.

[Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd]

.@JimBreuer roasts the election propaganda from the Democrats 🤣

[Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays]

Democrats are trying to frame the divide as the educated versus uneducated. (Smart versus dumb, but more polite.)

Should instead be framed as the people who believe news (brainwashed) versus those who know it is fake.

@Cernovich Yes. It is. Also, the lore is pretty fantastic. Utube the lore just for kicks. Sit back and take a walk

“hey guys we stole an election, jailed MAGA grandmas, facilitated an invasion of your country, raided your president’s home, indicted him, tried to assassinate him, and called you domestic terrorists but now since we lost can we have some unity and not see each other as enemies?”

[Tim Pool @Timcast]

Democrats are retarded

[MILO @Nero]

When someone cuts you off over politics the correct response is to bill them for your time, or if you’re not feeling merciful maybe sue them for damages. It’s called opportunity cost. That’s time you could have spent on someone with a soul.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Haha so accurate!!
