Refuting lies, trolling, and sh*tposting. Exactly what Twitter was meant for.

Roberts is neither. He is an institutionalist. Anything from outside the Judiciary that threatens its prestige, read as power, he is against.

Basically, here’s my position. I am done with the GOP coddling this. And yes, that includes Trump. So everywhere I see it, including if I see it from our President or the White House account, I’m going to go to war with it. We should never have tolerated it, but the best time to undo that cowardice and capitulation is now.

It must stop.

A D.C. Jail lieutenant looked at me while I was suicidal in solitary confinement and said:

“Hope you don’t die.”

Read that again.

I was an honorably discharged United States Marine.

A pretrial detainee.

Presumed innocent.

Locked in the SHU after weeks of isolation.

My water had been turned off for 24 hours.

I told the man with authority that I needed help.

He laughed.

Then he walked away.

That is not “bad jail conditions.”

That is not “politics.”

That is not “J6 whining.”

That is deliberate cruelty inside a government cage.

And he is not the only one.

I just published the names of D.C. Jail officers I believe should be investigated.

Lt. Allen.

Lt. Crystal Lancaster.

Cpl. Hayes.

Pepper spray.

Water shut off.

Solitary confinement.

Mental-health crisis ignored.

Pretrial detainees treated like targets.

And before anyone says, “Well, it was January 6 defendants,” stop right there.

The Constitution does not disappear because the media hates you.

Due process does not disappear because prosecutors labeled you.

Human rights do not disappear because a jail thinks nobody will care.

If a suicidal Marine veteran can tell a correctional lieutenant he needs help and the answer is “Hope you don’t die,” then every American should want answers.

This is why I am building the record in public.

They wanted these stories scattered, buried, forgotten, and trapped on social media.

Not anymore.

Names.

Receipts.

Witnesses.

Documents.

The record.

Do not brigade anybody.

Do not threaten anybody.

Do not play their game.

Read it.

Share it.

Ask why these officers were allowed to operate like this inside the D.C. Jail.

And help me keep building the archive they never wanted the public to see.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status.

Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

TRAITOR: Leader Thune just sent the Senate home for a 12 day paid vacation but he’s having one senator stay behind to gavel in every three days to block Trump from making recess appointments. No other president has had his own party use pro forma sessions against him.

People are dismissing the new "Peer Review" paper category I helped create in an established Springer Nature journal on grounds that avenues for critique like "Letters to the Editor" at many journals exist.

This is extremely naive. While it's true that many journals offer such mechanisms for critique in theory, in practice they routinely ignore or reject robust critiques that question cherished progressive narratives.

This is especially the case for critiques of papers on "gender-affirming care" and sex spectrum pseudoscience.

Take a widely-cited 2023 paper in Integrative & Comparative Biology titled "Multivariate Models of Animal Sex: Breaking Binaries Leads to a Better Understanding of Ecology and Evolution."

This paper forwards a totally nonsensical view of sex as a "multivariate" spectrum. It is one of the most naive and confused papers I've ever read on the topic. Pseudoscience through and through.

I wrote a detailed critique of it on my Substack when the paper was only a pre-print. Shortly after, the "Multivariate Models of Animal Sex" paper was published in a well-respected peer-reviewed journal almost entirely unaltered. Since then, it has been cited nearly 100 times by major journals including Nature, Science, Cell, and many others.

It's easily the most influential paper pushing sex pseudoscience there is.

Shortly after it was published, I reached out to the journal's editors to inquire about submitting a Letter to the Editor with several colleagues. Their managing editor responded quickly and copied in the journal's Editor-in-Chief, who I was told would answer my question "as soon as possible."

Crickets.

I reached out several times over two months. My tone was totally professional. No response.

This is a totally typical experience for academics trying to use the approved, scholarly route for voicing disagreement or exposing conceptual and methodological errors in papers that support progressive views on sex and gender.

They get totally shut out.

Activists then point to the absence of scholarly critiques as proof that their critics are not serious scholars!

This is why most of my critiques on sex pseudoscience and gender medicine end up on my Substack or in the "Opinion" section of outlets like the Wall Street Journal.

Things ARE getting a bit better. Journals are increasingly willing to publish articles that question woke orthodoxy, but it's still a major challenge. We are still regularly met with silence. We have a long way to go.

The point of my initiative with Theory and Society was to circumvent the problem of ideologically captured journals that show no indication of lifting their viewpoint blacklist.

We can't simply wait around for these journals to wake up and do the right thing.

This is not just about journals publishing cartoonish papers of feminists marrying brine shrimp. These journals also publish fatally flawed "research" that's being used to justify performing irreversible procedures on healthy children that leaves them surgically altered and sterile.

Our new Peer Review article type ensures that robust critiques cannot be buried for ideological reasons. We're applying outside pressure.

Now, scholars and the public will be able to point to scholarly critiques, and the pseudo-consensus that has been manufactured on various topics will begin to erode.

I am currently writing my first Peer Review article for Theory and Society on the "Multivariate Animal Sex" paper mentioned above that the original journal refused to even consider.

Journals will still be able to ghost honest scholars, but they can no longer ensure their critiques won't see the light of day.

“I long for the day when the precepts of the Christian religion shall be the rule among all classes of men, in all transactions!

I often hear it said, ‘Do not bring religion into politics.’ This is precisely where it ought to be brought, and set there in the face of all men as on a candlestick!

I would have the Cabinet and the members of Parliament do the work of the nation as before the Lord, and I would have the nation, either in making war or peace, consider the matter by the light of righteousness.

We are to deal with other nations about this or that upon the principles of the New Testament. I thank God that I have lived to see the attempt made in one or two instances, and I pray that the principle may become dominant and permanent!

We have had enough of clever men without consciences—let us now see what honest, God-fearing men will do!”
