Conspiracy theorists in the GOP have always been a problem, but they are now a consequential problem and the indispensable voting bloc in the GOP primarily because unprincipled GOP politicians decided to exploit, embrace and finally exalt the unhinged masses.

Buckner seems to forget the W in @WNBA stand for women. There was nothing wrong with what Sophie said originally. It’s the response from WNBA that made it blow up. The policy is the problem, not Sophie Cunningham

Hey how about you don't rip off our content, turn it into a video and don't even post a actual link to the story my writer Ian spent a ton of time on to pull together. The little credit thing at the bottom is garbage. You have no idea how much goes into this. Here is the original story. He does this every week: twz.com/sea/where-are-the-ai…

DC's Medicaid program has a community support mental health program that, according to the Deputy Mayor who oversees it, "is rife with fraudulent claiming" but nobody on the Council or Congress seems to care. capitalcommonsense.com/p/why…

"When my father, Shelby Steele, author, columnist and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, began publishing his essays on race in the late 1980s, my teenage self was often by his side when he gave speeches. After each speech, the same scene unfolded as a crowd of people gathered to the side of the podium, each wanting a word. I remember one man in particular who hurried to reach my father first. He wore a corduroy sports coat with leather elbow patches. He said, 'Dr. Steele, that was truly a remarkable speech. I want to thank you for saying the things you said up there.' My father thanked him, and the man lowered his voice and leaned in as if to share a conspiracy. 'You know I can't say those things.' My father leaned back and said, 'Why not?' The man smiled, as if to say, come on, 'I am a white man.' ...To escape the charge of racism, he reduced himself to his race. The fear had done to him exactly what racism does." "The Terror of Being Called Racist" is the third essay in my essay series alongside the documentary White Guilt, which premieres today! Link to Amazon, Apple, Google below.

Absolutely hideous corruption in DC Medicaid. "In 2024, DC paid $284 million for community support outpatient mental health services billed in 15-minute increments, four times as much as in 2019. " capitalcommonsense.com/p/why…

Tolerating unrestricted warfare at sea combined with incendiary and nuclear bombing of cities but drawing the line at remote deployment of thermite is a take. FWIW - infantrymen are not pining for the good old days of personalized hand to hand combat.

Time for a very large down stroke in investment by US in hardened aircraft shelters. A decade of harping on this. Like everything else, they will only move after disaster. “We learned critical lessons…”

I believe that investing in expeditionary education would go a long way to reversing the adult adolescence and failure to launch phenomenon. I was already 20 the first time I sailed across the equator, but it was common for boys to start sailing at 11 only 200 years ago. Young teenage apprentices, homestead settlers and longhunters (Daniel Boone was already recognized as one of the best frontier hunters in the Appalachian region by the time he was 15), surveyors, ranch hands, etc. were fairly normal. Young people need adventure, training, and purpose; keeping them perpetually sequestered in safe and predictable environments is no way to prepare a generation of capable and intrepid young adults.

Repurpose half of the entire public education budget and use it to build Age of Sail tall ship replicas, on which every American boy will be educated to be the kind of man who conquered the planet and the stars

Children of immigrants are burning down schools and trying to set ordinary people on fire in France, and in Belgium an academic who exposed a race grifter is facing criminal charges, but, sure, it's Europe's "far-right"— basically code for anyone right of center on the immigration issue — that's worrisome.

Beginning of the formal process to put me in jail I've been advised that I need a criminal lawyer

Bond market is in revolt about the national debt and I hear crickets from Washington. You think this would be a crisis. Amazing really.

Imagine the government creates a prepaid food program, lets call it "Foodcare," only available to a certain population. The Foodcare beneficiaries pay a little for their coverage, but the government also taxes everyone else to fund Foodcare. Those taxes make it so that Foodcare beneficiaries get $3 in food for every $1 they paid in. In fact, Foodcare beneficiares are so powerful a voting block, that the federal government will borrow large sums of money just to ensure the Foodcare beneficiaries continue to have access to all the kinds of food they want. Lawmakers make sure they maintain that subsidy so Foodcare beneficiaries can get three times the amount of food as they paid for. Meanwhile, Foodcare doesn't pay chefs or restaurants very well, but they need to stay open for Foodcare customers. If they don't allow Foodcare customers, they lose the ability to take walk-in patrons. So they calculate that they need to charge private customers a lot more so that Foodcare customers can eat off the same menu. Giving everyone Foodcare prices would put everyone out of business, so the private paying customrrs need to further subsidize Foodcare. Of course, Foodcare is popular! Foodcare beneficiaries are getting steak and lobster, subsidized by private paying customers through higher taxes and higher prices. "Let's give Foodcare to everyone!" they say. But wait... It's a mathematical impossibility for everyone to get subsidized access to food. Some people are going to pay for a whole lot of food they don't eat in order for others to eat more than they paid for. That's just basic math. So Foodcare is going to need to pay chefs and restaurants a lot more. To keep from going broke, it's going to need to strictly limit what people can order on the menu. "No more steak or lobster," the waiter says. "The approval process for those takes months. Government bureaucrats need to authorize every item you order. Would you like some gruel instead?" Now, all of a sudden, Foodcare isn't so popular...

We continue to live update our original post, rendering analysis coming soon.

In the early going, people would ask me, "Why don't you like Trump?" Clearly, they had never known me. A big reason I became a conservative was anti-communism: opposition to monstrous dictators, moral clarity on the subject. All of that is gone, absolutely gone, on the right.

This is not just Trump's legacy. It's the legacy of every Republican who enabled him because they valued access and relevance above all else. Trump: "Kim Jong Un is a friend of mine. I'm the only person in the entire world that he likes. And I like him."

I guess the people of Gaza should not have started a war by attacking unarmed civilians with a wave of wholesale murder, rape, torture, and kidnapping. Also, review what the RAF did to German cities--and the actual definition of genocide. @ScotNational is not a serious paper.
