Each man sees an issue through the filter of his perspective, the prism of his prejudices, and the cultural assumptions of the time and place in which he lives.

@Milajoy @DAGToddBlanche No, “actual treason” is defined by the United States Constitution, and what Fauci did, though almost certainly criminal and contributing to the deaths of millions, was not treason.

This is a real article from the Kenyan newspaper Sunday Standard (also known as The Standard). The original AP story didn’t say Obama was Kenyan-born. That was added by editors at the Kenyan paper who wanted to highlight the Kenyan connection, and it was well known that Obama’s father was from Kenya. The Standard editors didn't actually know where he was born. They also spelled his first name wrong.

However, it’s irrelevant where he was born because his mother was an American citizen, which is all he needed to be a “natural born” U.S. citizen and a American, just like John McCain who was born in Panama, since his parents were U.S. citizens.This whole “birther” stuff was just a red herring.

@elyse_182 @elonmusk Hi, scammer. How’s the weather in Nairobi today?

«Societal disempowerment or men simply not growing up?»

That argument is logically fallacious. What you’re doing, trying to shame people because they’re not doing what you think they should, like buying a particular product, or making a particular choice in one’s emotional or romantic life, or their lifestyle, career, or politics, is a type of moralistic shaming called "circumstantial ad hominem" or "appeal to motive," the logical fallacy of attacking someone’s character, maturity, or psychological state instead of engaging in substantive debate. It’s a method of argument used by people who cannot debate an issue on its merits, or who try to enforce conformity through social disapproval.

@Yboc_Coby What’s that got to do with my comment? Are you trolling me by making the unsupported ad hominem assumption that I'm a Neocon? I don’t know if you're a leftist, but the leftist modus operandi is characterizing those they disagree with instead of addressing issues on their merits.

@3xchair @strandreleasing @FilmLinc Re your article “The Little Sister, Festival-Circuit Ninja” in the National Review, you write the prize is “in keeping with the festival’s … liberal prospectus.” Prospectus?! Do you mean the festival’s liberal perspective?

@primusk9 @trumplicans2024 I understand their resale value is significantly above $1000.

@SkyNews Allahu Akbar, probably. Absent an Anglo uprising in the near future based on self-preservation, the UK is toast (or should I say khubz muhamas, خبز محمص). — An opinion I'd probably be arrested for posting, were I in the UK.

Just watched the movie “The Housemaid.” I pretty much knew what would happen in the movie as soon as I saw that the attic door (where the title character is staying) locks from the outside. The attic door locked from the outside is, of course, “Chekhov’s Gun” (Chekhov’s rule is that if a gun is hanging on the wall in the first act, that gun must be fired in the second act). And then of course there are today’s woke Hollywood rules for plots of movies like this — even the good ones: (1) Believe the women. (2) Rich white males are bad; rich white females are bitches. (3) Poor nonwhite males are good helpers. (4) Strong women must win in the end. — So of course I knew 15 minutes into the movie pretty much what would happen. And it did. And I enjoyed it. Good movie based on a good book! 😏

@Hunter_Eagleman Time after time. Republican in-person votes 10% higher than Democrat. Next day, many strangely-late absentee/mail-in ballots arrive with four times more Democrat votes than Republican. Democrat wins the election. Media attack anyone finding that strange as an “election denier.”

@elonmusk I understand the Moon, Mars, Antarctica, yes, good heatsinks. But how are you going to get rid of the heat in orbit or deep space?
