Platytude

The grandeur of my physique, the complexity of my worldview, the decency and taste implicit in my carriage, the grace with which I function, astounds even me.

@creepydotorg Watch the documentary. I believe it's called Impostor. It reveals what may have really happened to Nicholas and I believe it.

🚨 WE ARE WATCHING AN EXTRAORDINARY PSYCHOLOGICAL BATTLE OVER PERCEPTION.

Turn on the media and you'd think EVERYTHING is dramatically worse under President Trump.

Then look at the numbers.

Compared with the same stage of Biden's presidency, the figures being circulated show:

INFLATION
🟦 Biden: +12.3%
🟥 Trump: +4.3%

GROCERIES
🟦 Biden: +15.8%
🟥 Trump: +3.3%

GAS
🟦 Biden: +69%
🟥 Trump: +12%

RENT
🟦 Biden: +7.7%
🟥 Trump: +4.5%

ELECTRICITY
🟦 Biden: +19.1%
🟥 Trump: +8.4%

NEW & USED CARS
🟦 Biden: +23.9%
🟥 Trump: −1.2%

That doesn't mean Americans aren't feeling real affordability pressure. They ARE.

But during Biden's term, I REMEMBER the media making it feel like everything was fine but the opposite was felt by Americans in the real world.

Today, it seems to be the opposite. People's conditions are improving but the perception is that life is worse.

That's exactly why you have to separate how people feel, what they're being told, and what the underlying data actually show.

We're heading toward the 2026 midterms.

QUESTION EVERYTHING. CHECK THE NUMBERS YOURSELF. 🇺🇸

Hillary lost and The Clinton Foundation is in free fall.
Biden lost and he can't get money to build his library.
USAID was shut down and the DNC had to mortgage their HQ for money.
The SPLC was indicted and the magically riots stopped.
ACT BLUE is under investigation and all of a sudden Democrat have to create an alliance with Islamic communist for funding.

Yup, no pattern here at all.

Stuyvesant High School was ranked #2,561 in this year’s @USNewsEducation National Rankings; last year, it was #33. Other top NY schools also fell in the rankings. What caused the precipitous drop?

@NYSED would not permit College Board to release the aggregate AP (Advanced Placement) scores used in the ranking calculations. Why? Commissioner Betty Rosa has not provided a reason, but insinuated that it was to protect student privacy.

Such a bold-faced lie that @USNews issued a statement: “NYSED has characterized U.S. News’ request as an attempt to obtain protected, individual student-level data. This is categorically false. No individual student data was requested.”

Why does the NYS Education Department want New York schools to look bad? We deserve an answer.

Why don’t any of the “End the Occupation” anti-Israel politicians ever speak about Turkey’s occupation of Cyprus?

Yemeni man destroys the UN in 90 seconds 🔥
UN Human Rights Chief: “Nothing justifies how Israel fights in Gaza…”
Then a Yemeni takes the mic:
“I ask the UN, the Arab League, and everyone waving the Palestinian flag since October 7…
Where is the flag of Yemen?
Half a million dead. Biggest famine in modern history.
Silence.

Where is the flag of Sudan?
150,000 killed in less than two years.
Silence.

Where is the flag of Syria?
Half a million dead.
Silence.
Why is it that when Arabs kill millions of Arabs… no one bats an eye?

The Houthis spend millions firing missiles at Israel instead of feeding their own starving people.

Your report mentions Israel 188 times.
Iran? Zero.
And Qatar sits here on the Human Rights Council… while hosting Hamas leaders in luxury hotels.”

The room went quiet.

This is the real face of UN hypocrisy.

@FLLymeDisease This is a City of Gainesville issue. Bother them.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

I found this map from 1950. Notice how Gaza belonged to Egypt and the West Bank belonged to Jordan, and there was no Palestine.

Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied Gaza from 1948 to 1967, and during those years not once did ‘Palestinians’ try to establish an independent Palestinian state.

In fact, they only started calling for a Palestinian state after they joined forces with their Egyptian and Jordanian occupiers and lost the war they started against Israel in 1967, when Israel took over Gaza and the West Bank.

The whole Palestinian narrative is a lie.
