For instance, we have not been treated to any of this throughout 2021 even though the situation at the border has been utterly horrific for migrants and other asylum seekers:
Nor, of course, have we been gifted with the 2021 sequel to this award-winning drama in a parking lot.
The reason I quickly built a large readership when I began writing about politics in 2005 was so many Dems loved my work denouncing the civil liberties abuses of Bush/Cheney.
When Obama won and continued or expanded them, I looked around and thought: hey, where did you all go??

In our podcast yesterday, @AndrayDomise and I discussed one of the key changes of the Trump era for left-liberal politics: by casting Trump as the supreme threat, any institution opposed to him (including security state agencies: CIA/NSA/FBI) became benign if not overt allies.
We also discussed how vital this Trump-era transformation is: how spaces on the liberal-left for working against the security state virtually disappeared, while the populist right became receptive to it, a key driver of the split of myself and others with parts of the left.
We also discussed the immediate exploitation of the new COVID variant to again justify a broad array of some of the most repressive state policies, and how there seems to be no end in sight, by design. @andraydomise presciently warned of these dangers in April of last year.
For the Outside Voices page of our Substack, @lwoodhouse reports: as public anger grew over gruesome and medically useless dog experiments funded by Fauci's agencies and budgets, his media allies came to the rescue with a pack of lies.
What happened here is fascinating: Fauci's agencies have funded *thousands* of gruesome dog experiments. To discredit this, the WPost and others focused on *one*: a particularly hideous one where the researchers said they had NIAID $$, then retracted that when public anger grew:
I'll be on Fox tonight at 8:50pm ET with Tucker Carlson discussing the gruesome dog experimentation industry, how taxpayer-funded programs fuel some of the worst abuses, and how media outlets -- to protect Fauci -- are denying the key facts under the guise of "fact-checking."
Here's the reporting I did last week on the hit piece the @washingtonpost was preparing to punish @WhiteCoatWaste, one of the key groups -- along with @beaglefreedom -- denouncing these moral atrocities. They're shielding these programs to protect Fauci.
We'll have a new article on our Substack tomorrow from @lwoodhouse on the disinformation campaign from media and the NIAID, along with the usual propagandists like @davidfrum, to lie about dog experiments to protect Fauci. He's been reporting on it from the start. His key point:
In this video, I recount an episode from this week where I went on a podcast devoted to discussing *parenting and fatherhood.* It was a great, earnest talk, yet some liberal journalists/activists investigated the host's old tweets to decree the show *a white nationalist program*.
What kind of twisted mentality leads someone to hear about a mainstream podcast on *parenting* -- one that has interviewed Chris Wallace, Tom Brady, Perez Hilton, Deion Sanders, other dads -- and investigate the host for problematic tweets, then declare the whole show off-limits?
These cowards will use your name in Substack articles, YouTube segments, proclaim themselves creepy "watchers" of your work, talk to like-minded liberals about your flaws: everything *except* say this to your face so you can debunk their lies & make them justify their claims.
As I wrote in this thread, their strategy is to take out-of-context snippets of video, spread it all over to distort your words -- and Twitter is perfect for that -- but never once confront you with their critiques. They just hide in their echo chambers:
The answer to all these questions is "no" because they are smear artists who rely on tearing your words out of context, then going on shows where everyone agrees and nods their head as they talk about someone they're too scared to invite on to participate:
Several critics volunteered. The first is now on Rumble. Steven Fritts voiced the standard left-liberal grievances: I go on Fox/Tucker, pander to the right on the "culture war," I changed my views, etc. Good discussion: judge yourself if those are valid:
There are 2 ironies to this. Before I could even post this new discussion, dreary Democrats -- led by one notorious for distorting videos -- spent today spreading out-of-context snippets of what I said: the exact coward-tactic this invitation to dialogue was designed to combat.
