You should talk to all those in your party who are telling Biden not to concede even if he loses, @JillFilipovic.
"While the sheer number of groups and volunteers involved in the effort has given organizers hope...Inside the coalition, there is dispute over whether Biden should even concede if he wins the popular vote but loses the Electoral College, à la Clinton in 2016 and Gore in 2000."
"But the Transition Integrity Project noted that there would be immense pressure on Biden to fight it out if, for the third time in 20 years, the Democratic candidate won the popular vote but didn’t take office."
"In a simulation they ran, Team Biden 'encouraged Western states, particularly California but also Oregon and Washington, and collectively known as "Cascadia," to secede from the Union' unless structural reforms were made."
"A top official participating in the FBT discussions said the possibility of an Electoral College-popular vote split did come up and that there were mixed opinions over what to do."

There was a moment maybe 15 years ago when I realized that all the language in every academic job application was actually saying:

“We specifically do not want to hire someone like you and dislike everything about you: the people and programs you were taught and formed in, what you want to teach [at the time, political philosophy, rhetoric, American government and the founding era, political corruption, and media] and how you want to teach it [the books I would use, the teaching method and approach, the focus of the classes and research, and how I wanted to reform colleges and universities] as well as your entrepreneurial interests—and your ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, and political opinions.”

And it occurred to me that this was obvious, and I knew it to be so, but I had been trained not to think about it directly and was supposed to be grateful to somehow “sneak in” to institutions that did not want me there.

And that therefore my career goals and the entire project I was engaged in (to reform the university) was ridiculous.
I always knew in my heart that only new institutions or those already dedicated to the right mission were the way to go.

I have advocated for this my entire life in every sector of our economy and culture.

But for a brief time I tricked myself into actually believing maybe it would be alright to go the normal route.

I never did it again.

When a system or institution or business is obsolete or broken in terms of principle and purpose, or structurally or at its core, (and, granted, it is sometimes hard to tell when that point has been reached):

You have to either scrap it for something new or rebuild the entire thing.

There’s no skating by this. There are no shortcuts available anymore. It doesn’t matter how inconvenient this is to you personally, or what you’d rather the world to be like, or even what you think you’re good at or an “expert” in or whether or not you think you can pivot into some entirely new field or career or whatever.

You simply must adjust to reality and do what needs to be done. And there’s always something you can do.

This is why I say: the only way out is through.
*This was probably closer to 20 years ago, but who’s counting…

What is happening in regard to Russia and Ukraine while we have no functional President is one of the last, most reckless and outrageous acts from the supposed "adults in the room" who have consistently driven our nation towards the cliff the last four disastrous years.
This is not "democracy." This is the faceless power of failing experts in action: thwarting the will of the people in the midst of the final "lame duck" period of an aging dementia patient of a President. This is a form of masochistic, suicidal recklessness enacted by weak men.
These people are sadly driven by a self-assured but internally crooked path that necessarily end in disaster. Smooth from the outside, they are in truth each AT BEST like the dog who's wrapped himself around a tree and tragically freaks out the more he entangles himself.

Many media outlets COVER UP the TRUTH about Springfield, Ohio.

The issue will come up in tonight's debate between @JDVance and @Tim_Walz.

DECIDE FOR YOURSELF: listen to Police Chief Chad Duncan EXPOSE the reality of the Haitian migrant crisis to @Julio_Rosas11 of @theblaze:
The Springfield controversy started with the claim that migrants have been eating dogs and cats.

In an interview with @Jill_Savage and I, the Chief said that there's "NO EVIDENCE" of THAT.

But he says they HAVE been eating geese, ducks, and livestock:
The Police Chief also told us that Springfield police curiously decided to encrypt their communications recently so he and other neighboring law enforcement officers still can't hear what is going on in Springfield in real time:

Unlike the #FakeNews, I sent @theblaze’s own @Julio_Rosas11 to ask the people of Springfield about what’s REALLY HAPPENING there.

The REAL STORY is huge, and about A LOT MORE than kitty-cats.

Here on @X, YOU can now do what the media WON’T.

LISTEN to The People for yourself!

In 2005, "@R_H_Ebright blasted Fauci & the CDC for having 'constructed...a virus that represents perhaps the most effective bioweapons agent now known.'" —@LeonHWolf at @theblaze

"Lab Wars: One Democrat's 20y Crusade to Save the World from Anthony Fauci"
theblaze.com/news/lab-wars-…
What was @R_H_Ebright talking about?

The "resurrected" 1918 flu virus.

@LeonHWolf points us back to articles like this one, which are haunting now:

"All mice died within 6 days of infection with 1918 flu..."
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@R_H_Ebright @LeonHWolf But what people have forgotten is this:

"Prior to 2020, Fauci was the subject of frequent and strident criticism from many of the liberal institutions that have since ruled any criticism of his actions out of bounds."
