Joe Biden was in politics so long that he served in the US Senate with Senators who'd served under Roosevelt

Chuck Grassley has been in politics so long that his predecessor in the house was born in the 1800s

Normal morning for the disgrace otherwise known as the President of Colombia.

Wait Graham Platner got a 100% disability rating from the VA? Why isn’t that the biggest scandal of the whole campaign?

In another era a clearly healthy young man running around with the same rating as a paralyzed veteran would be an outrage even if he wasn’t running for Senate

Every word of this Sam Harris essay on Israel is obviously true and it’s crazy that we live in an intellectual environment where this is called contrarianism.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

Sam Harris has written the best thing you’ll read today.

More than 1,100 University of California math and science professors are urging UC regents to reinstate college-entrance exams, saying that unprepared students are lowering academic standards and draining teaching resources https://t.co/b0v7Pnvfeh

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc

Narrative violation warning:

Elders in my Arab village in Israel told me the richest Palestinians sold their land and left first. 80 years later, their grandkids now claim to be displaced victims.

I am so allergic to victim mindset. It boils my blood. ~15 million displaced Hindus and Muslims in India-Pakistan around the SAME year. No one is trying to be a victim there. It's time to move on.

"You only get to be a victim once. After that, you’re a volunteer."

Absolutely horrific, and even worse than we already knew, which I didn’t think possible. Including clear evidence of appalling sex crimes by Hamas which their deluded defenders have always denied.

[Casey Mattox @CaseyMattox_]

Normalize holding legislators and governors responsible for their failure to comply with the Constitution and our laws and not judges for calling them out for it.

Two months ago: Tucker Carlson claimed Israeli President Herzog visited Epstein Island.

Two months ago: Tucker had to delete the video because his claim was entirely false.

Last month: Tucker Carlson claimed Mossad agents were arrested in Saudi Arabia and Qatar planting bombs.

Last month: The Saudis and Qataris said that was false.

Two weeks ago: Tucker said there’s no evidence Iran tried to assassinate Trump.

Two weeks ago: A man was convicted of working with Iran to assassinate Trump.

This week: Tucker Carlson was caught saying he never said what he literally said on camera.

Tucker Carlson is a liar.

In left-wing identity categorisations, the woman on the left is regarded as brown and the woman on the right a white European coloniser.

Imagine how much propaganda it has taken that this has become a widespread belief. They look like sisters.

@JacobALinker Head of the party is a former Likud guy. Just speculating, but it could be an attempt to peel off another seat or two for the current coalition when this party eventually merges with Likud (or even B&W, to help drag Gantz across the threshold).

[Chris Williams @Astro_ChrisW]

One question I get a lot is can you see the stars differently from up in space. When we orbit on the night side of the planet, we get a view of the stars very much like being in a very dark place on Earth. And because of our orbital inclination, we get to see the stars of both the northern and southern hemisphere. I captured this shot of our galactic plane from one of the windows of the Crew Dragon Freedom that is docked to the zenith docking port.

The other day, @JeremyDBoreing had an episode where he explained @TuckerCarlson’s tactics.

One of them was Epistemic Closure in which Tucker signals that a question has been settled (to convince the audience) when it hasn’t.

He uses phrases like “this is well known” (as he did in this clip)…and then he can’t support it.

Watch him set up his claim as if it’s common knowledge and then not be able to provide a single example:

Tucker: “JD is subject to…this is well known…NONSTOP treachery from ppl on the neoconservative side around Marco Rubio.”

Lulu: “Who do you mean specifically?”

Tucker: “You know…I don’t know is the real answer…They were so mad about JD getting that job.”

Lulu: “They- who’s they?”

Tucker: “You know, I don’t know the answer to that. I’ve never worked there.”

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Tucker: I wanted to talk to Fuentes to see what he thought about the war with Iran.

He interviewed Fuentes months before that.

Tucker lies like most people breathe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually convinced himself this is true.
