In practice I’m not really loving ranked choice so far partly, because it lends itself to election fraud conspiracies when the FPTP winner (most #1 votes) doesn’t win and their supporters are going to be understandably suspicious of how folks choose their #2 & #3 preferences.

As Hadar Goldin z”l is buried, I recall August 1, 2014, one of the worst days of my 5.5 years as US Ambassador to Israel. A war in Gaza had raged all summer. Hamas rockets reached Tel Aviv, even causing a brief shutdown of foreign airlines flying to Ben Gurion airport. The

A month later, still no retractions from media, NGOs, UN & "experts" regarding a famine that NEVER existed in Gaza. Not even close. Some argued there would be many "residual" famine deaths. Never happened. The core ICC charge of "intentional starvation" is demonstrably false.

Today marks 10yrs since the Bataclan massacre. Muslims slaughtered 130 and maimed 683. Victims were castrated, raped, disembowelled and tortured before execution. French authorities suppressed this fact for 'social cohesion'. This image was taken moments before the attack.🇫🇷

The CFPB's decision to include medical debt in consumers’ credit reports is outrageous. Medical debt is an often unpredictable challenge that hits people like a ton of bricks. That's why I have fought to protect consumers from medical debt. cpr.org/2025/11/12/col…

I’ve become convinced that one of Joe Biden’s big political mistakes was trying to keep his son out of the spotlight because he’s actually pretty good at it.

Prediction: Hardly anyone is going to read the #EpsteinFiles and most of us will be fed a line of BS from our preferred politicized media bubble about what’s in them.

UNSC 2803 effectively guts the genocide case. It recognizes Gaza as a terror threat and denies rebuilding of terror & military infrastructure. An official acknowledgment that Israel’s campaign was intended to fight armed terrorists not civilians—obliterating the genocide claim.

What's funny is that even in fairly liberal coded science fiction, Earth governments that are called the UN or written as descending from it are at best a decaying & corrupt welfare state with a huge brain drain (The Expanse) or an outright dystopian tyranny (Altered Carbon)

Is anyone else watching #KingAndConqueror? The first episode was good but the rest has awful pacing and feels low budget & with bizarre choices regarding the fictional parts. If you are going to add some fictional drama to it, actually develop the plot don’t just skip around.

By implying that a synagogue’s event might be unlawful, the mayor-elect did something more troubling than misunderstand Nefesh B’Nefesh. He crossed into territory the First Amendment explicitly forbids. The government has no authority to judge whether a lawful religious event is
