We are living through a massive information crisis in which at least half the population is being systematically misinformed, making any sane national debate increasingly difficult. Without a shared factual foundation, there is nothing to discuss. People are not merely drawing different conclusions from the same evidence. They are living in entirely different realities.
That is what makes the Fauci story so tragic. He caused untold harm, yet millions of people know almost nothing about it. We can debate precisely how large a role Fauci played in the creation of Covid, but half the country does not even know that Covid came from a lab. We are therefore several steps removed from the basic conditions required to have an intelligent discussion.
Other facts are even more black and white. Fauci’s private diary contradicts what he told the public. His own words reveal a man of almost limitless narcissism. These are not matters of interpretation. They are documented facts. Yet we still cannot have a national conversation about them because the media either refuses to report them or actively lies about them. Anyone who is not on Twitter, which is most people, may never encounter the underlying evidence at all.
The result is that I increasingly find it almost impossible to discuss any of this with ordinary people, whether family members, acquaintances, or people at events or birthday parties. Unless someone has followed the evidence closely, there is no common starting point. Before you can debate what happened, you first have to dismantle at least ten years of falsehoods and omissions.
I do not know how this ends, but it is not sustainable. A country cannot function indefinitely when its people are no longer capable of discussing almost anything beyond sports on the basis of shared factual knowledge.
I’ve been an Apple Watch user for 6 years and Oura user for a little over a year. I agree w these findings except one category: cycle tracking. The Oura is superior in this category- i was able to detect ovulation, early pregnancy detection and miscarriages before they even happened, and the progress of my subsequent pregnancy. For anyone trying to get pregnant I would definitely give the Oura a shot!
FACT CHECK: "Senior" reporter at MS Now, @janestreet says: "There is no evidence of election fraud in California."
What are you talking about? Have you not done any research?
The DOJ just prosecuted a LA woman named Brenda Brown for paying people to register to vote using fake addresses. My team filmed this fraud happening all over Skid Row on multiple days & occasions.
Instead of sitting in your journalist cubicle at MS Now all day and peddling lazy propaganda, go into the field and investigate voter fraud on Skid Row like my team did.
The mainstream media continues to lie and we have officially issued a retraction to MS Now for their false statements about "no evidence of election fraud in California."
These Iranian women are so brave. They are true heroes.
One has to believe they knew when they refused to sing the anthem that they were making themselves and their families targets of the regime.
One has to believe their families said do it. This is your shot. Do it. And that the families have already suffered the consequences of unleashing their daughters into the world.
Thinking about it makes me cry. They’re so courageous. True freedom fighters.
The personal IS political.
And where are all the so called feminist athletes speaking up in their defense? Nowhere to be found. They don’t know true courage. They’re frauds. Yes you Megan Rapinoe. Can’t even offer a modicum of support for these female athletes? Instead you choose to take offense about a dumb locker room joke and call yourself principled. Please.
Pray for these girls and their families. ❤️
Senator Thune,
I mean this in earnest:
The American people are angry.
We gave you the majority. We gave Republicans the White House, House, and Senate.
President Trump is doing his job. The House is doing its job. The Senate is failing to act.
If you do not bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor and ultimately pass the bill into law, Republicans will lose both the House and Senate this November.
I think you underestimate the anger of the American people.
I think you underestimate that Republicans will NOT vote this November unless you secure our elections.
Do you want to be remembered as the Senate Majority Leader that was responsible for ushering in the decline of the United States?
Or do you want your legacy as one of the most productive Senate Majority Leaders that was responsible for the most transformative bills of election integrity in American history?
I’m coming to South Dakota for SAVE America rallies in March and I’ll be interviewing your constituents to ask them about how they feel about the Senate.
Respectfully and peacefully, we will not stop; we will not back down; we will not relent; we will not forget; and we will continue to push for the SAVE America Act until it’s signed into law.
Either wield power and be remembered as a hero in the majority
or lose it all with a democrat takeover as the minority.
See you soon, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, and Washington, DC — peacefully.
@LeaderJohnThune
It's become clear to me over the past few years that almost all government eventually becomes grift.
It all starts innocently enough, with people wanting to fix problems in society.
But, when organizations are stood up that aren't subject to market forces or any type of sunset, they grow without end and are fundamentally inefficient.
It's only a matter of time before that attracts rent-seekers.
Nearly everyone involved has their hand in the honey jar in some way and so excuses for poor performance are made and fraud is covered up.
Demands are made for more funding but all it does is essentially feed what has become a cancer.
All this can take many many decades, but without a change the way we run government, it's an inevitability.
