This CIA recruitment video would be a little too much for a Chicana/o studies department. A collection of every campus buzzword in two minutes.

No wonder they wanted the last administration gone, now they can be themselves!

I like the part about not engaging in uptalk. This was written by a young person who really paid attention in college.

Soon after 9/11 American Dad! debuted, about a CIA agent who was supposed to be representative of his profession, a Fox News watching Bush supporter. As the series progressed the stereotype became out of date and the political angle of the show has been completely dropped.

Believe it or not, when you run from the cops, who are responding to gun shots, with a gun in your hand, and then you raise that gun, bad things can happen.

Watch the video. Split second decision. The kid has the gun in his hands, drops it behind the fence and then turns around, completely reasonable for the cop to believe that the kid was turning around to shoot him. vimeo.com/536331629

FDA will end up killing a lot more Africans than Americans. Did they factor vaccine hesitancy in the third world when they were playing 6D chess with the public? nytimes.com/2021/04/14/wor…

Nice job. I’m sure Malawi will get the message when Fauci declares this all shows how careful he really is.

“Amid the clotting concerns, the World Health Organization and African Union have not wavered in recommending the use of the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson’s vaccines.” If WHO is run by China like idiots say no wonder it’s much more competent than the US and EU.

The pro-intervention crowd is not happy about Biden's coming announcement on Afghanistan. Here's The Washington Post alone. Thread.

Congrats to al-Qaida and the IRGC! I care more about if FDD wins, and they're on quite the losing streak.

But women! Why are women always a justification to keep a war going but never to start one? They draw you in with talk of scary threats, keep you in through feminist guilt.

The anti-Nate Silver Fauci worshippers are scarier than Antifa, Islamists, and Capitol Hill rioters put together. The combination of stupidity and certainty with which they go through life, all the more horrifying because it's empty of any ideology but deference to power.

Always 5D chess! Instead of believing pulling a vaccine will make people doubt its efficacy, they think people will say

1) Gee, 1 in a million is not that high
2) But they stopped it anyway, and made an irrational decision
3) Wow, they must really know what they're doing!

These arguments are always just post hoc used to justify whatever the FDA or CDC did. Nobody made this argument last week as far as I can tell. These people's brains have something very very wrong with them.

Wall Street Journal today: “America’s chaotic pandemic response, followed by a summer of racial upheaval and the Jan. 6 Capitol storming, solidified [Xi's] faith in the Chinese system’s superiority.”
