Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase:
"We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament.
No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good.
So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily.
Can you prove it? No.
And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident.
That is not an accident.
And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that.
The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on."

I’m the only one who is not remotely disturbed by the Democrat fraud unfolding in the Los Angeles mayor’s race. And why? Because I knew to a certainty that statistically impossible cheating would take place AGAIN. I said it, I was right, and I’m done with it.
America is lost.
Steven Bartlett, host of the podcast, The Diary of a CEO, released an interview with Christian apologist, John Lennox, this week, and his closing comments to him were fascinating:
"One of the most compelling arguments for God that you've presented (and your way of seeing the world and being) is not actually necessarily anything you've written in your books or not not necessarily anything you've said. It is actually you.
You have a certain peace and contentment that I rarely see in people that I interview, but I often see, and I've almost always seen, in the Christians that I've interviewed, and this is a interesting phenomenon for me...it seems to be a trend that a lot of the Christian apologists that I've interviewed have that anchoring that so many of us are looking for."
What a great witness.

The gas tax failed in a blaze of glory.
Nearly a year ago, we made our first post about the bullshit happening in the legislature around this gas tax.
Since then, we’ve had a full year of reporting, organizing, debating, pushing back, and refusing to let this go quietly.
There were setbacks. Plenty of them. But we never gave up.
And in the end, there was one loud answer from all of us:
No.
Thank you to every single person who debated, circulated, signed, created, amplified, testified, posted, shared, questioned, and spoke up.
You mattered. Every bit of it mattered.
Congratulations, Oregon. We found our voice.
This is not a political ad, even though I congratulate the Governor of Montana for doing something good. Nor is it a commercial for a big national bank, even though I congratulate @WellsFargo for doing something good. This is actually an ad for mikeroweWORKS, even though I don’t mention my foundation by name until the last few seconds, or congratulate myself for doing anything at all. And yet, every time this ad airs, hundreds of people run to https://t.co/ju76O0XWgC to apply for a work ethic scholarship or donate to the cause.
For that reason, I’d be grateful if you shared this. As you may have heard, we’ve got $10 million set aside for this next round of scholarships, and I’m doing what I can to make this our biggest year so far. I’m also curious about any theories you might have, as to why an ad that was filmed on my iPhone and cost exactly zero dollars to produce is outperforming all the others.
Local leftists and leadership are up in arms about a new appeals court ruling that suspended restrictions on ICE agents use of tear gas during rioting at the SW Portland ICE facility. The restrictions were put in place previously by an Oregon judge.
This weekend, yet another No Kings protest is scheduled downtown. At the last protest, hundreds of protesters showed up at the ICE facility which quickly devolved into attacks on the facility, which led to ICE agents deploying tear gas.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson was quoted as saying, “We must hope protecting the rights of people peacefully exercising these rights ultimately prevails.”
The mayor is regurgitating standard leftist dogma stating all protestors are protesting peacefully, something leftists and anarchists have claimed for years, even as they were lighting fires in federal buildings and police facilities. He is conveniently ignoring the rioting that has occurred throughout the city at several times in the last decade.
It is also interesting that the mayor ignored pleas from residents of this same neighborhood about anarchists use of noise weapons last year, but now he is suddenly concerned for these same neighbors.
Portland leadership continues to be led by the nose by the most radicalized fringes of the community. This has been proven over and over to be a poor choice, considering more reasonable voices are being ignored, and these same people are choosing to vote by using their feet and their lack of economic investment in the community.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American and nothing but an American… There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room but for one flag, th e American flag… We have room but for one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Theodore Roosevelt

I have been struggling to comprehend why leftists are defending radical Muslims.
They are essentially antithetical to everything the woke stand for and it made no sense at all.
Then... it dawned on me 🧵
“It is Labor Day weekend and we are doubling the payroll tax for Oregon workers. I can’t even believe we’re doing it. It’s wrong.” - House Republican Leader Christine Drazan on HB 3991
