Last weekend, I took my oldest son on a 48-hour train journey from Seattle to Chicago. I wanted him to see the vast beauty of the American interior—and to toughen him up with some hard travel.

Here are some snapshots. 🧵
We started going through the forests and mountains of Washington State, Idaho, and Western Montana.
Then we descended into the endless plains of Eastern Montana and North Dakota. We saw cattle ranches, oil fields, and 250-person towns. It's amazing that this harsh landscape can even human sustain life.
The food was pretty good and we did a lot of reading. Then we rolled into the cities of industrial Midwest and finally to Chicago. Then flew home. /end

EXCLUSIVE: Kamala Harris plagiarized at least a dozen sections of her criminal-justice book, Smart on Crime, according to a new investigation. The current vice president even lifted material from Wikipedia.

We have the receipts. 🧵
The investigation was conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian "plagiarism hunter" who has taken down politicians in the German-speaking world. We independently confirmed multiple violations, which are comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard president Claudine Gay's doctoral thesis.Image
Image
We can begin with a passage in which Harris discusses high school graduation rates. Here, she lifted verbatim language from an uncited AP/NBC News report: Image

EXCLUSIVE: Northwestern Law Review published a special issue featuring only black women. But, according to material unearthed in a new lawsuit, the issue was rife with plagiarism.

This is how DEI corrupts academic standards. 🧵
Lawyer Jonathan Mitchell has filed an updated lawsuit against Northwestern Law School and its far-left former dean, @DBRodriguez5, for alleged racial discrimination in hiring. As part of this complaint, Mitchell identifies significant plagiarism by a prominent DEI hire and the law school's DEI-obsessed academic journal.Image
Image
@DBRodriguez5 According to the lawsuit, Northwestern hired Myriam Gilles, a black woman, and, apparently, overlooked Professor Gilles's massive plagiarism, because, Mitchell alleges, the university prioritized diversity over merit.

EXCLUSIVE: We have discovered that migrants are, in fact, eating cats in Ohio. We have verified, with multiple witnesses and visual cross-references, that African migrants in Dayton, the next city over from Springfield, barbecued these cats last summer.

EXCLUSIVE: @Buttonslives and I have discovered that the Biden-Harris Administration subsidized the Venezuelan migrants who took over the apartments in Aurora, Colorado, through a funnel of government agencies and left-wing NGOs.

It's time to follow the money. 🧵
The story begins in 2021, when the Biden–Harris administration signed the American Rescue Plan Act into law, allocating $3.8 billion to Colorado. The City of Denver drew on this reservoir of funds to launch its migrant resettlement and housing program.

Image
Image
Image
The city, in turn, funneled more than $5 million to two left-wing NGOs, ViVe Wellness and Papagayo, to secure housing for thousands of Venezuelan migrants.

These organizations are run by Yoli Casas and Marielena Suarez, two Venezuelan immigrants who do not appear to have previous experience in large-scale migrant resettlement. Much of this funding was directly tied to ARPA, through the Migrant Support Grant program.Image

I love most of American politics, but "eating junk food to demonstrate you're an authentic American" is a bizarre, fake, terrible tradition.

Every year, we watch Democrats and Republicans show up at the Iowa State Fair and eat deep-fried corndogs—which most educated professionals would never do voluntarily. They make a show of "relatability" based on our poisonous food culture, which has plagued half the country with obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

The Harris-Walz ticket has seemingly predicated its entire campaign on dessert consumption. They send Walz to eat cheap fried dough in the heartland, while Kamala, at least, eats artisan-crafted treats in coastal cities. The Trump-Vance ticket has done it, too, with Trump at McDonald's and Vance awkwardly ordering a dozen glazed in a strip mall donut shop.

It's a tradition, I get it. But we should eventually move beyond it. Leaders should inspire people to a higher standard, which, in America, should include health and nutrition. I would love to see some Midwestern corndog-wallah approach RFK, Jr., and have him politely decline and explain why.
Literally just eating food at gas stations, donut shops, cake stores, state fairs, and now a pretzel factory. That's the campaign.🤦‍♂️

EXCLUSIVE: A nurse at Texas Children's Hospital claims that doctors in the hospital’s child sex-change program committed Medicaid fraud. "The largest children's hospital in the country is illegally billing Medicaid for transgender procedures."

A massive scandal. 🧵
Vanessa Sivadge is a registered nurse at Texas Children's Hospital who has worked extensively with the hospital's "transgender" patients. She taught a child how to inject sex-change hormones. Then she realized she was participating in "deeds of evil and darkness."
Image
Image
Sivadge was the anonymous whistleblower who denounced TCH's child sex-change program in an interview with me last year. After that, she says, the FBI sent two agents to her home to intimidate and threaten her. Image
