Tim Young We’ve all been through enough. Four years of chaos, corruption, and being gaslit at every turn. We fought like hell to change that. And for a while, it felt like we did. But today? Today feels like a slap in the face. A staged spectacle where smiling influencers posed with

I've been complaining about the "Epstein Binder Influencers" concept all morning, and a lot of people are missing my motivation in doing so, so I will explain that motivation now. I am a firm believer in the idea that "X is the new media," and I consider that to be a

The Circle of Life

The sad part of these influencers torching their credibility today is that they turned out to be no better than MSM & Traditional access journos. Not A SINGLE ONE of them have acknowledged the Epstein file release debacle out of fear of losing access instead of what's right.

In light of the Epstein phase 1 debacle, we can dispense with the myth that influencers are better than journalists. They are just as morally bankrupt, just as venal, just as stupid as their msm counterparts. True indie journalists like Shellenberger, Greenwald and Taibbi and

It’s important to understand this isn’t just about rare earths, this is an opportunity to pull the Russian Federation away from the People’s Republic of China. I’ve studied Russia for 35 years. Others like Sachs and Mearsheimer agree — Russia, especially under Putin, identifies

Cathy, I’ve treated you with respect and grace for years both online and in-person, despite your relentless and petulant rudeness. No more. You’re a bitter, irrelevant crone—scribbling sanctimonious essays while sneering at those who actually take action. Your influence, small

Regarding Ukraine: The West has now given approximately 250 billion dollars with 50-100 more pledged. The total given to Russia during lend lease during ww2: 225 billion (in 2025 usd) The total given by US and allies to Afghanistan during Russian invasion : 25 billion. The

I think the degree of support a non-combatant gives a war depends on the following factors: 1. The perceived nobility of the war (which includes an understanding--or lack of understanding--of the historical, political and social underpinnings of the war). 2. The likelihood of

Woke right is just as ridiculous as the og wokes. This thread below is depressing. Israel is mentioned TWICE in 80k pages. KGB? 40k+ times. Ian: see I told you it was the Jews. They bring the right absolutely nothing and will only hurt at the voting booth.

Just to clarify, le pen has been arrested and prevented from running for using a dozen 25k/year assistants as both eu AND French employees. Basically she’s being arrested for using entry level office assistants for non EU approved roles. That’s it. It seems the press is

1/ Charles Murray charted the heights of Western genius in "Human Accomplishment." But what made the West exceptional was not just its output. It was the people who produced it. Let's discuss Western excellence. 🧵👇

The six year old standing deportation order for Garcia has been posted many times. I've posted it several times. He had his hearing and his request for asylum was denied and his deportation was ordered. The only exemption was one country. And yet many of you are being

Sitting here marveling at how dumb Democrats are. For the last month, they had a political opening on the economy. Instead, they hyper-focused on a probable MS-13 member who beat his wife. Now, with the trade war cooling, they missed their chance. Political imbeciles.

Really not sure there is anyone who has made a bigger fool of themselves on this platform the last 6 months. I don’t always agree with Chris But if the left counters with this type of comment. They won’t win fir a long time

What really depresses me is how most Democrats don’t seem to want a transformative leader. They don’t want an FDR. The height of their ambition is managed neoliberal decline.

Only one man is to blame for this Canadian catastrophe: Donald Trump. The Conservatives were set for a historic majority. Possibly a supermajority. Then Trump began talking about annexing Canada & devastating the economy. He called the PM "Governor". Pierre Poilievre's

If Trump really wanted to lower price of prescription drugs w/o destroying incentive to engage in important R & D, Trump would pressure foreign countries with socialized medicine to pay their fair share for drugs so Big Pharma doesn't have to recoup it all from U.S.

So I've been rewatching "The Expanse" on Amazon Prime. IMO this is just about the best bit of science fiction on video in the past 20 years, or at least the first three seasons are. (The last three seasons are good too, but a bit too self-referential and steeped in weird
