“Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.” ― Thomas Paine

"I have one consistency, which is being against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy; the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes." Christopher Hitchens

So the GOP has no incentive not to go for broke in retaliation knowing anything they do is going to be portrayed badly. Might as well go out all in response. This is what happens when the free press gets captured by the left.

The American press is really complicit in taking away all incentives for reasonableness in political discourse. In Wisconsin, Texas, and now Tennessee, Democrat protestors have stormed state capitols to shut down the legislatures and been treated as the good guys by the press.

What the US definitely needs right now are more fiery speeches from young, ambitious political hopefuls who look good holding forth at a lectern rather than people who have a clue and can roll up their sleeves and write sensible, workable legislation which fits within a budget.

I am tired of seeing that Dylan weirdo all over my social media feed... No wonder he's getting so many brand deals. We live in an attention economy. He is getting rich off you and laughing.

nitter.net/MattWalshBlog/status/1… This is what they're trying to put a stop to. They completely lost the argument. The only way they win is if they completely silence anyone who speaks sense.
A trans EMT tried to use his medical training to prove that sex is not binary. He ran into trouble when I asked him how he’d respond to a patient with a penis who claims he’s having a miscarriage.

I accept the vote even though it was won on lies, but I will never let it go, mine and my daughters rights have been taken and they're wanting to take more,like pick and choose on human rights, policing and the protest bills, it's a down hill slope if we let them carry on

Properly informed people have always known that the astroturfed pseudo-consensus supported by US medical associations was always a product of activist capture rather than science, that the pseudo-consensus was built on quicksand, and that a reckoning will eventually come
@TheEconomist weighs in on the science behind the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors. "Medical science is not supposed to work this way. Treatments are supposed to be backed by a growing body of well-researched evidence that weighs the risks and benefits of intervention," the magazine says, noting the low-quality evidence supporting the gender-affirming care model appropriated from the Dutch. 1/ economist.com/leaders/2023/0…

Ridiculous. It was Biden who ordered and executed that horrendous overnight evacuation. To blame Trump for it when it happened 8 months after he left office is laughable.
BREAKING: A National Security Council review of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan largely lays the blame on former President Donald Trump, saying President Joe Biden was “severely constrained” by the decisions of his predecessor. apnews.com/article/joe-biden…

Although it's high-status to pretend otherwise, this has nothing to do with "transphobia". Mulvaney is just annoying. Always has been. nitter.net/JebraFaushay/status/16…

It's precisely the fact that Mulvaney is so über-annoying which makes this such a perfect culture war front. Wokies need a bit of a backlash, so that they can present themselves as morally superior to imaginary bigots. Someone like Mulvaney guarantees a backlash.
Meet NIKE WOMEN’S Newest Ambassador…a biological man. Dylan Mulvaney is now being paid 💰by Nike Women to promote sports bras- even though he’s a man! Another day, another company slapping all women in the face by mocking them and paying a man to take their place! #nike #gowokegobroke #dylanmulvaney

I suspect had you lived in Victorian times, your attitude to its marvellous advances would have been Ruskin's at Monsal Dale; had you witnessed the birth of grey steel warships, you would merely have mourned sail. The museum mindset builds nothing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsal…

More of this, please; and let us do away with nostalgia worship of the 1960s which somehow passes for serious conservative thought.

I don’t know the ins & outs of the case. But the “Get Trump!” mentality is disturbing. No soul is above the law. But I also worry about no soul being specifically *targeted* by the law. This may have a Bork like effect where Democrats celebrate, not realizing the change to come.

Not my read. At all. But we will find out in time who is correct David. I am open to being wrong. But having opposed this man, I completely lack any of the vindictive glee that I see in others. It appears now I opposed him for reasons *totally* foreign to the Democratic Party.
A defeated and dejected Donald Trump sits at the defense table in court.
