Great analysis from @EliLake for @TheFP. Oh, and if you haven't yet switched from @nytimes and @washingtonpost to @TheFP, now would be a good time. https://t.co/WN85zUI2p5

Last night, Donald Trump pledged to commute my sentence on day 1, if reelected. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

After 11 years in prison, it is hard to express how I feel at this moment. It is thanks to your undying support that I may get a second chance.

Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to America. I enlisted in the Marines for this country. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country. And my running mate took a bullet for this country. What the hell has Kamala done to question our loyalty to America?

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Btw, what the f*ck was all this about? A drag queen mockery of the Last Supper at the Olympics? Would they have mocked any other religion like this? Appalling decision.

This is the final straw.

Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.

I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately - or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.

Today, human rights activist and publisher Jimmy Lai will walk into a courtroom in Hong Kong to be tried on charges under the CCP-imposed National Security Law.

The outcome is predetermined.

We are about to bear witness to a travesty of justice.

DEI must DIE.

The point was to end discrimination, not replace it with different discrimination.

@richroll I just finished your book Finding Ultra. It was inspiring as a man in my mid-forties. Quick question, what is your recommended path to deal with your leg length discrepancy. I have a similar difference to you

@SquatUniversity Would they be good for basketball?

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

As a professor who favors free speech on campus, I can sympathize with the "nuanced" answers given by U. presidents yesterday, about whether calls to attack or wipe out Israel violate campus speech policies.

What offends me is that since 2015, universities have been so quick to punish "microaggressions," including statements intended to be kind, if even one person from a favored group took offense. The presidents are now saying: "Jews are not a favored group, so offending or threatening Jews is not so bad. For Jews, it all depends on context." We might call this double standard "institutional anti-semitism."

University presidents: If you're not going to punish students for calling for the elimination of Israel and Israelis, it's OK with me, but ONLY if you also immediately dismantle the speech policing apparatus and norms you created in 2015-2016. Please read The Coddling of the American Mind. @glukianoff and I laid out exactly where the oppressor/victim frame came from (ch. 3), how it spread out of a few departments to gain power over administrators and campus culture (chapters 4 and 5), and how it drove the creation of the bureaucratic structures and processes that now have us all teaching and learning on eggshells (ch. 10). In chapter 13 we offer advice to leaders on how to to return universities to their academic mission and regain public trust.

I just showed this to my legal asst and her jaw hit the floor. She was stunned. Then she smiled.

Something big is happening. We have passed a turning point in the west. I think the dynamics will accelerate, fueled by panic/impending loss of grip. I dread the ace in the sleeve.

Joe Rogan & Dr. Shawn Baker on the COVID Madness: 'This Cannot Happen Again'

"This guy named Greg Anderson – he was a Special Operations Army Ranger, 15 tours overseas. Comes back as a Seattle cop during the pandemic and they're like, 'Hey, you need to go arrest this lady for doing people's nails at her home.' And he's like, 'I'm not doing that. This is total bullshit.' And he made a video, and it went viral. And the Seattle Police Commissioner said, 'Hey Greg, we agree in principle with what you're saying, but you got to take down that video.' And he just said, 'No, f*ck you. I'm not going to do it.' So they fired him. And so he got a GoFundMe page and he raised a bunch of money, and he opened a jiu-jitsu studio in a CrossFit Gym. He's like, 'I make more money now as a jiu-jitsu guy than I ever did as a cop.'"
