They've been pissed at Joe Rogan since he had on anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton. They got more pissed when he noted that Joe Biden isn't all there. They got even MORE pissed when he didn't just parrot the CDC. This has never been about anything but silencing him.
BTW, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is a coward. His pathetic, mewling letter begging forgiveness and grace from the 21-year-old woke employees who spend their days pretending to be emotionally devastated by Joe Rogan's podcast deserves nothing but scorn.
I do love the attempt to buy off the woke by saying he'll spend "an incremental investment of $100 million" on music and audio from "historically marginalized groups." I mean, isn't that already their business model? How many creators of music and podcasts are from such groups?
"Watch as I recategorize our normal spending as woke spending, then hope that the alligator stops gnawing on my shinbone!"

Ah, who am I kidding, the guy probably welded mirrors to every wall in his house.
Ah, who am I kidding, he probably paid a peasant to do the welding instead.

Zucker was nailing Gollust who used to work for Andrew Cuomo. Zucker was paying Chris who was working for Andrew. CNN spent all of 2020 painting Andrew as the greatest governor in the country while he shoveled covid+ elderly into nursing homes, then covered it up.
BUT WHY DO THE PEOPLE TRUST ROGAN MORE THAN CNN?!?!?!?!!!?!
Man, Trump's Twitter feed would be straight fire right now

Whoopi Goldberg explaining that the Holocaust wasn't about race because these were "two groups of white people" isn't just insipid, it's insidious. It's downplaying the minority status of Jews in order to uphold bullshit intersectional arguments that justify anti-Semitism today.
The intersectional argument is that Jews are white people, and that Jews are disproportionately successful thanks to "white supremacy." Because racism is "animus plus power," and Jews are powerful because they are white, anti-Semitism from non-white supremacists isn't bigotry.
This logic is why the Left will condemn anti-Semitic attacks like the one at the Tree of Life but quickly memory hole anti-Semitic attacks by Black Hebrew Israelites in NJ or radical Muslims in TX.

China is a second-rate economy masquerading as a powerhouse. Their power lies in concerted use of their market to cudgel corporations into place. It is an act of utter irresponsibility for Western governments not to untether from the poisonous IV that is the Chinese economy.
This can only be done at the governmental level. Corporations that refuse to play in the Chinese sandbox are immediately undercut by corporations that kowtow to the CCP. Concerted action is necessary. We didn't strengthen economic ties to the USSR. We shouldn't with China.
Here come the defenders of the Chinese model in the comments! When I say China is a second-rate economy, I mean it statistically. China's GDP per capita is currently $10,400 per the World Bank. This puts it below Romania, Poland, and Greece, and just above Cuba.

"It is time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day." -- Kamala Harris

Yes, that is a direct quote.
She is Michael Scott, only not likable or sympathetic.
Every interview is a "the dog ate my homework" interview for Kamala Harris.

Today is the first anniversary of January 6, a riot predicated on a falsehood pushed by President Trump -- a riot which did not prevent the certification of the 2020 election by Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
It was not a "coup" or an "insurrection," nor was it charged criminally as such. It was not a turning point for the republic or a referendum on American political violence.
It is now being exploited by the political class to dramatically revise republican institutions including federalism and the filibuster. The outsized focus on January 6 by the media and Democrats is a pure act of political opportunism, and should be seen as such.
