I am long past tired of all the bullshit

@ComicDaveSmith @philthatremains And there’s still the $40,000,000,000,000.00 elephant in the room that keeps getting larger…

@SandyofCthulhu Stranger Things provides an excellent example of how NOT to kill an "unkillable menace"

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise.
But he’s betrayed us all.
Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center.
The movement has begun.

You chose 1973 as your baseline. Let me tell you what happened in 1973.

The dollar fully floated after Nixon severed gold. The first Pell Grants were awarded. The HMO Act was signed. Your chart does not start before the crisis, Bernie. It starts at the scene of the crime.

Healthcare up 35x because Medicare, CON laws, and the AMA cartel run medicine.
Homes up 13x because zoning makes building illegal and the Fed prints.
Rent up 15x because price controls and zoning strangle supply.
Tuition up 23x because federal loans gave colleges a blank check.

General prices rose 7x in that span. Everything government controls rose 13x to 35x. Everything it leaves alone got cheaper.

You are not the prosecutor of this case. You are the defendant.

@MikhailaFuller The glucose testing is such a rediculous and actively harm inflicting racket.

You can find the same information by a finger stick or two with a $10 BG meter

A 2023 report on UC Berkeley faculty searches found that 75% of applicants were rejected “purely on diversity statements.”

At every stage, candidates were evaluated on their DEI commitments.

The result? While 54% of applicants were white, only 14% of finalists were.

I didn't realize people weren't aware that Lyme disease was probably a lab leak so here it is very simply: Lyme disease originated in Lyme, CT in the 1970s. Lyme, CT just happens to be mere miles away from a US lab studying insect spreading bioweapons in the 1960s

The end

A 2021 email from Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance to the Wuhan scientist suspected of starting the Covid pandemic - asking her NOT to share data with other US scientists about the coronaviruses they have collected.

@SpeakerJohnson @Judy1732243 You could ban stock trading by U.S. Representatives tomorrow with a simple change to House rules. It wouldn’t even have to go through the Senate or be signed by the President.

Instead you put this political gimmick up for a vote which had a poison pill for Dems in it - Voter ID.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

There's an asymmetry in how liberals and conservatives evaluate one another.

Liberals dehumanize conservatives more than conservatives suspect. Conservatives dehumanize liberals less than liberals suspect.

[Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando]

I think people just willed themselves to forget that sunshine-and-rainbows liberal western governments became actual totalitarian dictatorships during COVID.

I’ll never forget it. Most revelatory experience of my life.

[Laura Powell @LauraPowellEsq]

The “fighting words” exception to the First Amendment needs to be laid to rest once and for all.

The jury in the Shiloh Hendrix case was instructed that it could convict her if her words were “inherently likely to provoke a violent reaction or incite an immediate breach of the peace.”

But violence is never a reasonable reaction to offensive words, and you should not be held responsible for someone else’s inability to control their anger.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

1/9 — My investigation uncovered that Anthony Fauci kept a diary.
What he wrote privately and what he told the country are two different stories.

Today I'm releasing his entries from December 2019 through December 2022. 🧵

I don’t want anyone’s money. Money can’t fix this. I’m genuinely shocked. I need a bigger voice. I need support. I’ve never been convicted of a crime, yet, using a mean word was enough to make me a criminal? Disorderly conduct for a man who was following & harassing me. Mortified
