Well we’ve just learned that women are so emotional and hormonal that they can’t even be blamed for mass murdering their children so with that in mind I think I’ll pass on putting more women in leadership positions, thanks anyway
Obama: "If you put women in charge of every government for two years... I have a strong belief that things would be better. I'm confident about that."

CBO just released its latest "Distribution of Household Income" report (for year 2023), and the findings are - as usual - a narrative violation. Real incomes up across the board. Income inequality basically flat for decades. Taxes falling for everyone except the rich.

No, it's not two sides of the same coin. There is this thing called reality as captured in this other thing called books. The Crusades were a REACTION to hundreds of years of Muslim aggression. The Middle East was populated by Christians until the Peaceful Muslims eradicated them.
Agreed and disagreed. Men using religion for power is never, ever peaceful. Look at how the Crusaders got there. Crusade, Jihad, just different side of the same coin: bastards using genuine faith for their own benefit.

The West: Why did you commit the terror attack? Terrorist: My religion dictates it. The West: So climate change? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So beard bullying? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So, violent video games then? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So, American imperialism then? Terrorist: No, my religion. The West: So the Zionist entity forced you to defend yourself? Terrorist: FFS, it's MY RELIGION. Conclusion from the West: Terror attacks stem from a confluence of paleo-botanical-sociocultural-ethnopolitical forces that requires a nuanced analysis. What is absolutely clear though is that this has nothing to do with religion.

Important reminder of Keffiyeh Logic: If Islamic terrorists commit 50,000+ terror attacks since 9/11 alone in nearly 70 countries, no Muslim is to blame including the Islamic terrorists who commit those acts. If Israel inadvertently kills some innocent civilians as they seek to eradicate Hamas in Gaza, every Jew anywhere in the world is collectively guilty. All Jews are guilty; No Muslim is ever guilty because Islam is peace. Any questions?

I’m so tired of ignorant celebrities sharing their opinions with paying customers. Imagine going to a famous restaurant and the chef coming out to ruin your experience by sharing his political views with you. Just do your job and STFU.
Dave Matthews: "I said it last night, but I’ll say it again, man, I’m so tired of this f*ckin President." Another celebrity shares a political opinion that nobody asked for People are there for the music, not politics

The Boston Globe has just published a shockingly sober article about the nonexistent genocide supposedly targeting the transgender community. In it, they cite a report I coauthored showing that the murder rate is actually lower for trans-identifying people than the general population. Our report was responding to the HRC's annual reports pushing the narrative that there is an ongoing "Epidemic of Violence" against the transgender community. The reporter says he "offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me." That's unsurprising because the HRC is engaging in fundraising propaganda. They don't care about the truth, only promoting the narrative. Our report presenting the actual data is irrefutable. That's why they have nothing to say in response. You can read our report summary in @CityJournal here: 🔗city-journal.org/article/hum… Or explore our comprehensive report here: 🔗dont-shoot-the-data.github.i… Read the Boston Globe article here: 🔗archive.ph/VqhlI
