[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

Dr Fauci and Mr. Science

The Fauci files reveal not just a sociopathic narcissist, but also a pathological schizophrenic.

For years, Fauci was assuring the public of Covid narratives that he either knew were untrue, or knew little about.

He posed as a non-partisan, even as he collaborated with the leftwing cable news grandees and liberal columnists to hound his enemies and magnify his godhead.

From the virus’s origins and effects of the lockdowns, to the efficacy of the mRNA vaccinations to the always changing 0/1/2 masks wearing protocols, Fauci used his massive government agency, and sycophantic media, to promote his always fluid narratives by punishing enemies and rewarding friends—on the basis of their loyalty to Dr. “I represent science”.

He seemed to be obsessed with firing White House Covid advisor Scott Atlas, and demonizing Jay Bhattacharya, Sunetra Gupta and Martin Kulldorff—for the crimes of questioning the Fauci party line.

These critics were not radical “let it rip” herd immunologists as the Fauci camp caricatured them, but circumspect, cost-to-benefit doctors and savvy health policy analysts.

Their views, if embraced, might have avoided a multibillion-dollar global shutdown that wrecked economies—especially derailing the booming 4th quarter 2019 Trump economy—increased the death toll, destroyed millions of livelihoods, harmed perhaps permanently the education of millions U.S. children, and was hardly based on the “science”.

And what exactly were the so-called extremist views of Atlas, Bhattacharya, and others?

Healthy children were not at great risk from Covid—but keeping them isolated drained away key resources from the elderly and sick who certainly were vulnerable.

And the nationwide school closures had profound negative effects on children and teens as did the lockdowns on the general population.

Substance and familial abuse soared, small businesses were ruined, and children’s formative educational years were lost.

24/7 mask wearing was neither practical nor necessary as opposed to their beneficial use by health care workers in close proximities.

The experimental mRNA vaccinations may have initially saved lives, but they were not, as billed by Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies, lasting protection from either infectiousness or being infected.

And certainly the repeated booster regimens for some could pose serious health risks.

Herd immunity was not some crank idea, as the Fauci school libeled these experts, but, along with the initial vaccinations, were time-tested medical realities that would mitigate the toxicity of the pandemic.

We have seen a lot of obscene hoaxes recently that changed national events: the loony Jussie Smollett caper; the phony “Steele dossier”; the “51 intelligence authorities” and the Russian-produced Hunter Biden laptop con; and the media fabricated effigy of Joe Biden as “fit as a fiddle”.

But Fauci’s effort to attribute the virus to a bat or pangolin publicly, while privately accepting from his own consultants that it likely was birthed in the Wuhan lab’s gain of function research—which he had helped to support via Peter Daszak—and the policies that resulted from that initial lie, proved literally for thousands a matter of life and death.

One of the main technical issues in the immigration judicial battles is whether Biden's border crisis counted as an "invasion."

So now we have foreign nationals with no legal right to be in the country waving foreign flags and assaulting law enforcement. If only we had a good word for that...

Interesting that eight of these 10 states have passed strong pro-life laws since Dobbs

If Donald J. Trump had lost an election, he may very well have spent the rest of his life in prison.

These prosecutions were always political. Now it's time to ensure what happened to President Trump never happens in this country again.

[Steve Deace @SteveDeaceShow]

I just finished the Rogan-Trump interview, I wanted to share my thoughts with it still fresh in my mind.

Let's not bury the lede here to start: this will be the most impactful political interview of my lifetime, including before and after. Attempts will be made to emulate it moving forward, because it will be the model moving forward just as the JFK-Nixon debate in 1960 was a generational harbinger. But whatever comes next will take a back seat to this precedent-setter for the following reasons:

1) Rogan arguably has the largest reach of any singular show since Oprah. But it's also whom his audience largely is -- men who view themselves as some form of truth-seeker but also distrusting of the existing political/informational paradigm. For better or for worse, more discipleship of the next generation of male headship in this country is done via Rogan than The Church (by the latter's choice).

2) Trump is arguably now the most famous living person in human history. And yet the largest platform in the country was still able to grant him the opportunity to counter so many misconceptions of who he actually is, what he actually thinks, and the resistance movement he represents. This interview alone won't erase nearly a decade of malevolent corporate journalism, but it's a D-Day invasion-level event. The marriage of the largest alternative media platform yet devised, and the biggest living threat to the current media-political-industrial complex, has established a beach-head in the enemy's occupied territory. Just as June 6, 1944 forever shifted the momentum in the last great war, it is quite possible October 25, 2024 will be seen by future generations as the great momentum shifter in the great information war.

3) The beneficial effect of this to candidate Trump would be the greatest (and most expensive) media ad buy in world political history. And thus a buy that probably isn't possible given the resources needed, and the perfect pithy message also required to maximize it and capture the attention/imagination also needed. Meanwhile, this could be the most watched interview in all of human history. And it featured a candidate, whose previous two presidential campaigns were decided by less than 130,000 total combined votes in the decisive swing states, being granted an unfettered opportunity to redefine himself to millions right as the election is happening.

4) More epistemological damage was done to the Spirit of the Age threatening to destroy Western Civilization in this interview than what the combined efforts of the weak, anemic, and effeminate Christian Church that gave berth to Western Civilization in the first place has systemically attempted in a generation. And it was just two dudes who each have some confused and funky beliefs by the Biblical worldview standard just daring to pursue truth, common sense, and common good. You can see why the Spirit of the Age tried to assassinate Rogan's platform during the scamdemic, and is literally trying to assassinate Trump now. Thus, you can also see why it's not trying to assassinate many of our pastors. Sadly, most of them are nowhere near the threat these two guys holding this conversation are (or even sadder even want to be).

5) The greatest example of this, IMO, was the conversation about environmentalism. Trump displayed an impressive command of the issue, and in this interview did more damage to a key cog of the Left's religion than I have ever seen done in one setting. And, again, given the post-partisan makeup of most of Rogan's audience, consider the opportunity there. This was a form of cultural evangelism. Trump was literally debunking the Left's climate hoax/occult religion the way John of Damascus did so Islam or Francis Schaeffer deconstructed the counter-culture. Once again, this is a great threat to the Spirit of the Age. If Trump-Rogan are able to repackage common sense and have it transcend the (mostly fake) partisan divide, that is a far more existential threat to the darkness than the current collective state of The Church (sadly). Consider the contrast of this conversation happening amid the backdrop of Leftists burning down the Washington Post and LA Times for not rubbing their bellies.

6) A marker was also laid down here of where the culture war will likely head post-Trump. With The Church transing itself and thus self-castrated, something must inevitably emerge to confront the darkness. Do I think God would prefer to use our family values pastors of little vice and less profane speech? Of course, but Gideon blew the trumpet for battle and The Church has mostly decided its got better things to do. So men like Rogan and Trump it is, then. That doesn't mean as believers we compromise our core principles, because we are not permitted such a thing. But it does mean we recognize where the battle is raging, and go there and fight alongside those willing to wage it with us. Not everyone on those boats headed to the beaches of France that June morning were spirit-filled believers by any means. Cast aside your sweater vests and furrowed brows, and join the battle while we still can.

Because this interview confirms, once and for all, this battle will be had -- with or without us.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

A number of my good friends and family have been surprised about my decision to support @realDonaldTrump for president. They have been surprised because my political giving history has been mostly to Democrats, my voting registration has typically been Democrat (in NY, you must be registered to the party in order to vote in the primary, and usually the Republican candidate has no chance to win), and many of our philanthropic initiatives have supported issues that are consistent with Democratic priorities.

All of the above said, I have always considered myself to be a centrist and/or moderate, and I have voted for the candidate and supported the issues and policies that I believe are in the best interest of the country. Some have accused me of supporting Trump because doing so will somehow benefit me financially. Fortunately, I do not need any financial benefits as I and my family have well more than we need. I have also committed to give away the substantial majority of my resources at or by the time I am no longer, so I don't consider personal financial benefits in the determination of whom I support for office.

Some have suggested that I am supporting Trump because I am seeking a position in his administration. To be clear, I haven't been offered one and I wouldn't take a job in the administration (I love my job and it is the wrong time in my life to work in an administration). I will, however, do everything else I can to help the president succeed in helping our country and its citizens.

All of the above said, I am an investor who manages funds that own some of the best, principally American, businesses in the world. In a better governed and managed America, these business will do better and increase in value faster. One might therefore argue that being 'long' America is somehow a conflict, so I thought to disclose this potential 'conflict' here.

Some of my friends and family who support @KamalaHarris are ok with my supporting Trump, but don't want me to attempt to convince others to support him. Because I strongly believe that a Trump administration will be better for the country and the world than a Harris administration, I think it is important to share my thinking to the extent it helps others come to the right conclusion.

Three months ago, when I endorsed Trump on the day of the first assassination attempt, I promised to share my thinking about why I came to this conclusion in a future more detailed post. I intend to do so in possibly more than one post, with the first, this one, explaining the actions and policies of the Biden/Harris administration and Democratic Party that were the catalysts for my losing total confidence in the administration and the Party.

To be clear, my decision to vote for Trump is not an endorsement of everything he has done or will do because he is an imperfect man. Unlike a marriage or a business partnership where there are effectively unlimited alternatives, in this election, we have only two viable choices. Of the two, I believe that Trump is by far the superior candidate despite his flaws and mistakes he has made in the past.

As always, I welcome your feedback on how I could be wrong and on how the below actions and policies I outline below might actually have been good for America. I have always believed that the best way to get to the truth is to hear the best arguments on all sides of an issue.

While the 33 actions I describe below are those of the Democratic Party and the Biden/Harris administration, they are also the actions and policies that unfortunately our most aggressive adversaries would likely implement if they wanted to destroy America from within, and had the ability to take control of our leadership.

These are the 33:

(1) open the borders to millions of immigrants who were not screened for their risk to the country, dumping them into communities where the new immigrants overwhelm existing communities and the infrastructure to support the new entrants, at the expense of the historic residents,

(2) introduce economic policies and massively increase spending without regard to their impact on inflation and the consequences for low-income Americans and the increase in our deficit and national debt,

(3) withdraw from Afghanistan, abandoning our local partners and the civilians who worked alongside us in an unprepared, overnight withdrawal that led to American casualties and destroyed the lives of Afghani women and girls for generations, against the strong advice of our military leadership, and thereafter not showing appropriate respect for their loss at a memorial ceremony in their honor,

(4) introduce thousands of new and unnecessary regulations in light of the existing regulatory regime that interfere with our businesses’ ability to compete, restraining the development of desperately needed housing, infrastructure, and energy production with the associated inflationary effects,

(5) modify the bail system so that violent criminals are released without bail,

(6) destroy our street retailers and communities and promote lawlessness by making shoplifting (except above large thresholds) no longer a criminal offense,

(7) limit and/or attempt to limit or ban fracking and LNG so that U.S. energy costs increase substantially and the U.S. loses its energy independence,

(8) promote DEI ideologies that award jobs, awards, and university admissions on the basis of race, sexual identity and gender criteria, and teach our students and citizens that the world can only be understood as an unfair battle between oppressors and the oppressed, where the oppressors are only successful due to structural racism or a rigged system and the oppressed are simply victims of an unfair system and world,

(9) educate our elementary children that gender is fluid, something to be chosen by a child, and promote hormone blockers and gender reassignment surgeries to our youth without regard to the longer-term consequences to their mental and physical health, and allow biological boys and men to compete in girls and women's sports, depriving girls and women of scholarships, awards, and other opportunities that they would have rightly earned otherwise,

(10) encourage and celebrate massive protests and riots that lead to the burning and destruction of local retail and business establishments while at the same time requiring schools to be shuttered because of the risk of Covid-19 spreading during large gatherings,

(11) encourage and celebrate anti-American and anti-Israel protests and flag burning on campuses around the country with no consequences for the protesters who violate laws or university codes and policies,

(12) allow antisemitism to explode with no serious efforts from the administration to quell this hatred,

(13) mandate vaccines that have not been adequately tested nor have their risks been properly considered compared with the potential benefits adjusted for the age and health of the individual, censoring the contrary advice of top scientists around the world,

(14) shut down free speech in media and on social media platforms that is inconsistent with government policies and objectives,

(15) use the U.S., state, and local legal systems to attack and attempt to jail, take off the campaign trail, and/or massively fine candidates for the presidency without regard to the merits or precedential issues of the case,

(16) seek to defund the police and promote anti-police rhetoric causing a loss of confidence in those who are charged with protecting us,

(17) use government funds to subsidize auto companies and internet providers with vastly more expensive, dated and/or lower-quality technology when greatly superior and cheaper alternatives are available from companies that are owned and/or managed by individuals not favored by the current administration,

(18) mandate in legislation and otherwise government solutions to problems when the private sector can do a vastly better, faster, and cheaper job,

(19) seek to ban gas-powered cars and stoves without regard to the economic and practical consequences of doing so,

(20) take no serious actions when 45 American citizens are killed by terrorists and 12 are taken hostage,

(21) hold back armaments and weaponry from our most important ally in the Middle East in the midst of their hostage negotiations, hostages who include American citizens who have now been held for more than one year,

(22) eliminate sanctions on one of our most dangerous enemies enabling them to generate $150 billion+ of cash reserves from oil sales, which they can then use to fund terrorist proxy organizations who attack us and our allies. Exchange five American hostages held by Iran for five Iranians plus $6 billion of cash in the worst hostage negotiation in history setting a disastrous and dangerous precedent,

(23) remove known terrorist organizations from the terrorist list so we can provide aid to their people, and allow them to shoot rockets at U.S. assets and military bases with little if any military response from us,

(24) lie to the American people about the cognitive health of the president and accuse those who provide video evidence of his decline of sharing doctored videos and being right wing conspirators,

(25) do nothing about the deteriorating health of our citizens driven by the food industrial complex, the fraudulent USDA food pyramid, and the inclusion of ingredients in our food that are banned by other countries around the world which are more protective of their citizens,

(26) do nothing about the proliferation of new vaccines that are not properly analyzed for their risk versus the potential benefit for healthy children who are mandated to receive them,

(27) do nothing about the continued exemption from liability for the pharma industry that has led to a proliferation of mandatory vaccines for children without considering the potential cumulative effects of the now mandated 72-shot regime,

(28) convince our minority youth that they are victims of a rigged system and that the American dream is not available to them,

(29) fail to provide adequate Secret Service protection for alternative presidential candidates,

(30) litigate to prevent alternative candidates from getting on the ballot, and take other anti-competitive steps including threatening political consultants who wish to work for alternative candidates for the presidency, and limit the potential media access for other candidates by threatening the networks' future access to the administration and access to 'scoops' if they platform an alternative candidate,

(31) select the Democratic nominee for president in a backroom process by undisclosed party leaders without allowing Americans to choose between candidates in an open primary,

(32) choose an inferior candidate for the presidency when other much more qualified candidates are available and interested to serve,

(33) litigate to make it illegal for states to require proof of citizenship, voter ID, and/or residence in order to vote at a time when many Americans have lost confidence in the accuracy and trustworthiness of our voting system.

I welcome your thoughts.

Food health carves off a mammoth segment of traditional leftism, a political neighborhood that used to be owned by the left.
But now, orthodoxy requires Democrats to defend junk food, genetically modified grains, and Roundup. It must be very confusing to be a Democrat these days.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

We are now watching one of the most hilarious political pivots in history, where Democrats, reacting to the exploding #MAHA movement (Make America Healthy Again) with RFK + Trump, are now openly siding with processed foods, junk foods, pesticides, GMOs, toxic food ingredients and of course Big Pharma's deadly vaccines. To be a Democrat in 2024, you have to now embrace and even endorse mass-production toxic food factories, the mass vaccination of pregnant women, the mass murder of unborn babies, the mass poisoning of our youth with toxic food ingredients, all while claiming to want to "save the planet" with "green" policies. It's beyond hilarious. The Democrats stand for nothing but DEATH. They are the DEATH PARTY, pretending to be the party of "joy." Exactly like the Third Reich. Years ago, I marched in the streets of Austin as part of the "March Against Monsanto." It will filled with bleeding heart liberals who believed in clean food and organics. Today, those very same people believe in toxic processed foods, toxic vaccine jabs and toxic agriculture. The real CLEAN FOODS movement is now RFK+Trump.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

The Ugly American?

The Biden administration is reportedly trying to overthrow the elected government of Israel—almost in the fashion the Left used to rail about CIA-leveraged regime change in 1950s Latin America.

Sen. Chuck Schumer all but called for a new imposed Israeli government on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to cut off further sales of F-15s to Israel.

The Bernie Sanders/Squad/DEI base of the Democratic Party is now actively trying to bring down the Netanyahu government.

Now we hear rumors that some officials in the U.S. and Europe are contemplating threats of war crimes charges against Israeli leaders. Biden implicitly warns that the U.S. may cut off support to the oldest and only democratic ally in the Middle East.

Anthony Blinken suggests the Israeli response to root out Hamas killers from their human shields is approaching the moral equivalent of the Hamas barbarism of October 7.

So terrorist killers who break the peace to murder, rape, torture, behead, incinerate, and kidnap hundreds of Israeli civilians at peace—while sending 7,000 rockets into civilian centers—are the moral equivalents of those who respond to the unrepentant killers, who try to distinguish murderers from their human shields, who attempt to root out terrorists had been moving 250 hostages in 500 miles of tunnels, and who text and drop leaflets warning civilians to keep distant?

Does Biden believe the Israelis are less careful than the U.S. was in rooting out terrorists from civilians in Mosul—where we nevertheless may well have killed thousands (10,000?) of noncombatants who were interspersed with ISIS terrorists? One could argue the coalition’s use of artillery in Mosul was more “indiscriminate” than Israel’s in Gaza.

Was the recent tragic killing of World Central Kitchen workers by an IDF error more or less egregious than what the U.S. did in our catastrophic flight from Kabul?

Do we remember the American mistake that led to the bombing and killing of 10 Afghan civilians (including 7 children). The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley initially insisted that the killings were a “righteous strike”. Did the Israelis whisper of the incident “war crime”?

Instead of hammering Israel in response to the (likely empty) threats of Democratic anti-Israel/pro-Hamas voters in Michigan to sit out the 2024 election, why has not the administration demanded first the return of all the hostages?

Or why has Biden not given Hamas a deadline to return American citizen hostages–or prompted an international effort to charge the Hamas October 7 planners with “war crimes”?

Moreover, what is exactly the U.S. blueprint for Israel to eliminate the promised threats of Hamas to continue its grisly efforts to kill Jews and wipe out Israel? Follow the American lead in Fallujah where citizens were merged with terrorists? Copy the fire raids of Japan that were a response to the Japanese government deliberately dispersing war production among civilians? Are we suggesting Israel emulate American Operations Rolling Thunder and Linebacker in Vietnam?

Does the apparent grand tactician/strategist Joe Biden have a better way to destroy Hamas when it coerces Gaza civilians to shield its command and control centers inside and beneath hospitals, schools, and mosques?

Why does not Biden simply call for a ceasefire, contingent on the return of all the hostages and the surrender of the murderers and planners of October 7?

Did Biden ever give Hamas a deadline to return Americans or else—or does it only give Israelis such do or die dates?

Does proconsul Biden think the removal of Netanyahu, and the American insertion of his opposition, the order to Israel to cease the war, and to allow Hamas to regroup and essentially win the war—will end the conflict or be supported by the Israeli public, or encourage Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran to return such magnanimity with commensurate quietude and dialogue?

[Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays]

I finally figured out what's wrong with "everything."

It's a system problem. The introduction of Trump into the system(s) broke almost everything, and in multiple ways.

The fake news created a White Supremacist hysteria, which led to the Fine People Hoax and the George Floyd Hoax, which led to massive DEI, which led to massive systemic incompetence in all of our systems at once.

Add wokeness and cancelation and we can't discuss the issue, much less fix it. That's a system problem. The corrective mechanism (free speech) has been removed.

On top of that, the Trump experience has made it clear all of our government systems are corrupt. They probably always were, but as long as we didn't notice, things limped along okay.

Now we notice.

Now we don't accept "the science" we know is corrupt. We don't accept the omnibus bills we know are corrupt. We don't accept the foreign wars that look sketchy. We don't accept elections we can't fully audit. We don't trust the news, for good reason. We don't trust our intel services to not be agents of one party. And we see the justice departments weaponized.

While all that happened Soros found a way to take control of all American systems via funding of non-government entities and integrating them into the American systems.

But at the head of the snake is the fake news and fake science. There is no correcting mechanism.

The X platform is the only counterforce, and that's why the crooks are trying to take it out, and Musk at the same time.
