“She would also have to walk from the bus stop to school through an area where frequent gun shots are a problem.”
“Wh*te Parents Concerned about Exposing Their Children to Occasional Gunfire are Promoting White Supremacy” coming to your local opinion page any day now
I continue to wonder how deep the brainworms must be to write “an area where frequent gun shots are a problem” seriously.
One of the weird ways that the lefty commentariat class seems determined to alienate most Americans is by pretending that parents are more motivated by a nebulous, omnipresent racism than by love for their kids.

What Frum does here is a good representation of what the Russian Collusion narrative has always been and continues to be: huge allegations drawn from smoke without any actual evidence of fire.

🧵breaking down this piece.⤵️
Before we get to Frum’s points, it’s important to remember what this debate is about. Dems & media insisted that Trump worked w/ our enemies to influence an election.

You’ll remember that an extensive investigation already failed to find evidence of this. americanbar.org/news/abanews/a…
But suspending disbelief, let’s get to the case.

First, we’ve got Trump’s pre-existing, publicly known business ties to Russia. There are a lot of them.

While we should be conscientious of who the leader of the free world owes, this isn’t, of course, evidence of wrongdoing. ImageImage

It’s time to revisit the coverage of Kyle Rittenhouse.

With the news that he has been acquitted on all counts, don’t forget the ways that Dems and the corporate press came together to craft a false narrative in his case.

Let’s break down how we got here⤵️
We need to start with the media coverage that framed this case in the public mind.

To the press, Rittenhouse was as good as guilty when the news broke. So naturally, to @CNN, the people he shot in self defense were heroes & those defending him had “justified murder.” ImageImage
This wasn’t just limited to CNN.

@nytimes put out what amounts to a hit piece on Rittenhouse because his “social media accounts showed strong support for officers.”

They even put out a piece about how right-wingers attacking protestors was some sort of phenomenon. ImageImage

This makes zero sense. There have been four Covid deaths in the last two weeks in DC. Hospitalizations continue falling. We’re under 100 cases a day with a 1% positive test rates.

Enough.
Mendelson’s follow up point - about kids - is even more ridiculous. For the entirety of the pandemic there have been about 700 kids 18 or under who have died *nationwide*. About what we would expect from two flu seasons. Kids are MANY orders of magnitude less at risk than adults.
DC should focus on vaccinations, as I explained when the mayor reinstituted this nonsensical policy originally: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

32 years later. That foul call was bullshit. Ball don’t lie baby.
I don’t want to take all the credit but I will say this is the first college basketball game between Seton Hall and Michigan since my birth, and, well, look what happened.
This legend.

🧵Thread🧵

In the closing days of the VA election, @ProjectLincoln sent a group of fake white supremacists to a Youngkin rally.

Turns out, it was originally meant as an obvious joke that spiraled when too many Dems took it seriously.

Let’s unpack how the hoax spread.⤵️
First some context, @theintercept & @ryangrim wrote up internal LP emails to confirm this, story below.

Maybe it should’ve given people pause that one of the supposed proud boys was a girl & one of the “white supremacists” was black.

It didn’t. theintercept.com/2021/11/03/lin…
Unsurprisingly, a lot of folks on one side of the political aisle were quick to jump on the story.

One viral tweet calling it a “disgusting” reference to Charlottesville got retweets from @RexChapman, @RachelBitecofer, @rolandsmartin & @TheDemCoalition
