[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

California is the canary in the coal mine.

It’s the end product of unchecked progressivism and the left’s model for the rest of America.

Limitless immigration, rigged elections, and powerless citizens.

They’ll burn down your fuckin house while they vacation in Africa and demonize and ruin you for even trying to complain about it.

They’ll lock you away you in your apartment while they dine at the nation’s finest restaurant. And you’ll be powerless to vote them out.

They’ll bilk taxpayers for billions on a railway that never gets built. They get richer, of course, and make it all but impossible for you to drive anywhere.

For the left up is down, and dystopia is paradise. Hell is, quite literally, Heaven.
Realize this is all our destinies should we fail to guarantee fair elections.

They’ve already told us what they’re going to do if they regain power.

They are showing us in California.

@thedailybeast Don’t you mean “A disgraced former CBS News veteran who was fired for fraudulent reporting?”

[Alice Smith @TheAliceSmith]

Step 1: The Left enacts a policy.

Step 2: The policy has horrific consequences.

Step 3: People notice the horror and react negatively.

Step 4: The Left charges those people with “weaponising” the horrific consequences for political gain.

Here's something many people don't know about me -

Before I publicly dissected the long list of problems in the 1619 Project, I contacted the New York Times through their official channels to request a series of corrections to unambiguous factual errors in its content. The editor - Jake Silverstein - brushed me off and refused any correction - a pattern he also exhibited toward other critics from across the spectrum.

Before I publicly broke the story about Kevin Kruse's plagiarism in Reason, I contacted Princeton's academic integrity officer and alerted him to the problems I had found, giving them a chance to respond and address it internally. They ignored my email and later claimed to have lost my email after I went public.

Before I published my findings on Quinn Slobodian's habitual manipulation of source materials to alter its plain meaning through misquotation, I submitted an article to Contemporary European History (the journal where the worst examples appeared), highlighting the problems with the passages and asking for a correction through their official process. They desk-rejected it, brushed me off, and falsely claimed that Slobodian's piece had been thoroughly vetted in peer review. In fact, one of their own referees had flagged the same problems over a year earlier and recommended rejection of the article.

Before I published an expose on Nancy MacLean & Sandy Darity's similar manipulation of W.H. Hutt quotations in their article for History of Economics Review, I (along with 2 coauthors) submitted a response comment to this journal asking for a correction through its official processes. The editor gave us a complete runaround where he imposed an arbitrary length limit requiring us to cut the content, sent the trimmed version to a referee, then rejected the piece because the referee said we didn't sufficiently address the very same things we were forced by the editor to cut. When I then asked the editor to issue a simple corrigendum to the most egregious misquotation (one that transformed Hutt's explicit attack on the racism of white Afrikaners into a defense of Apartheid), he refused and tried to pass it off as a difference of "interpretation."

Before I published an expose of a leading covid masking model in the Wall Street Journal, I sent a comment to the medical journal that published it alerting them to a math error that changed their entire set of results. The journal acknowledged the error was real but refused to publish my piece on the grounds that the "next release" of the model would be updated to reflect it - even as politicians up to and including Joe Biden were trumpeting the erroneous results all over the news.

@5h42k7007h50up @JoshuaBarzon Are you familiar with the concept of "remote work?"

[Interesting Times @FreeTheBee22]

@mcobler11 @JoshuaBarzon It wouldn't cost much to add machine gun towers.

@TurfGuyz @JoshuaBarzon Then you have a restored 3,500 s.f. classic for $250 k.

@NJBeisner People who don't care about the truth make up whatever lie seems most useful at the moment.
