Thread:

Land acknowledgements are patronizing and historically illiterate. These tribes did what Europeans did - they moved to new areas to exploit resources. They fought with, and murdered, one another. Sometimes they raped. Sometimes they enslaved others.

In the case of the Three Fires tribes, they migrated from Atlantic Canada. One - the Potawatomi - arrived in the southern Lake Michigan area around the time that Europeans came to America. There is limited discussion about whether they displaced other tribes. They probably did.

Seth Moulton is advancing a bill through Congress to push ahead with high-speed rail. As with all progressive wet dreams, it's stupid. But let's look at the map below that is circulating among progressive Twitter.

You'll enjoy this.

Let's start with the obvious. Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver are not part of the US. You would need Canada to pony up money unless progressives are planning on the US conquering southern Canada.

But let's take a look at the more serious limitations.

Climate scientists (i.e., activists) have asserted that the surge in sea temps and global temps in the 2020s in parts of the world are due to a tipping point.

What appears to be happening shows how climate activism is making things worse.
.nature.com/articles/s4324… In 2020, international regulations dropped the amount of SO2 pumped into the atmosphere by shipping. SO2 helps to reduce sea surface temperature and temps generally by reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the lower atmosphere.

Thread:

Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was a 16-year-old American citizen. His father, Anwar al-Awlaki, was a leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Anwar was killed by a drone strike.

What happened to Abdulrahman next says much about who wields power in America. Abdulrahman was in Egypt. On October 11, 2014, he was near Ibrahim al-Banna, an Egyptian believed to be a member of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. As part of Barack Obama's drone war, the US ordered a drone attack on al-Banna in Egypt.

Beginning in the 80s, a mediocre scientist found his calling - political power. As Fauci worked his way up the political ranks of NAIAD, a novel virus was infecting gay men.

This is the story of how Anthony Fauci killed in the thousands. Before Covid. Before media fame.

https://twitter.com/Lawrence/status/1803966727815864365

A series of unusual deaths in the gay community caught the attention of Fauci. In 1982, Fauci wrote an editorial in Annals of Internal Medicine. That article shows a significant principle in Fauci's response to pandemics - fearmongering.

This is how climate science is practiced. I first saw this chart years ago and I nearly fell out of my seat at how bad it is. It purports to show 8K recording stations measuring rainfall around the world. What's wrong with this analysis?

Let's see.

1. The y-axis is designed to show a very negligible change over 5 decades. Indeed, the change is less than 0.2 events over that period. If put onto a 0 to 2 scale, it would look flat.

2. 8K stations couldn't possibly yield identical results. Each data point has a deviation.

2020 opened my eyes to how many people in our society are neurotic sadsacks in need of a father figure to make them feel safe. People who never developed coping skills.

Governor Whitmer had her Fauci pillow because many of her constituents wanted one of their own.

There were women who wore Fauci's name on their underwear.

Thread (it's not just DEI):

Never forget that universities don't care about free speech. They are the least open places in the country. They only care about money and keeping the inmates happy.

Last year, a lecturer lost her job because she showed a picture of Muhammad. Why?

Well, Muslim students argued that the act was Islamophobic. It would be too easy to dismiss this as DEI in action. It isn't that simple.

Many Muslim students from overseas come to US campuses from wealthy backgrounds from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Turkey, Jordan, and Qatar.

The Columbia protests ended with the arrests of several people, many of whom are from incredible privilege. Let's shine a light on one of them - Isabel Jennifer Seward.

You see, she killed Chet and Connie Hawkins on September 8, 2020 and only had to pay $220. What happened? On that day, Chet and Connie Hawkins were traveling through Charlotte, Vermont. Chet served the town of Ferrisburgh for 35 years and Connie was a bookkeeper.

Charlotte is a small town positioned on the picturesque Lake Champlain just south of Burlington.

This is NPR's new CEO. I am through sugar-coating what these people are. They are horrible people. They don't care about anything other than signaling to other people that they think the right way.

Katherine Maher grew up privileged and wealthy.

She traveled the world, attending college at the American University in Cairo and then Institut Français D'études Arabes de Damas in Syria before graduating from NYU. She then worked jobs at NGOs and at governmental and inter-governmental agencies.

Open Letter to Clover:

I know that you are a 24-year-old climate activist. I get the fact that you believe that "you are familiar with the science." But, frankly, this is complete and utter garbage.

Let me tell you about my journey to this point.

In 1989, 11 years before you were born, I was told by the same people that unless we reversed course by 2000, entire nations would be wiped from the Earth.

On April 3, and with no fanfare, Pfizer published its Phase 2/3 clinical data on the effectiveness of Paxlovid. This paper is a damning indictment of the FDA and the use of EUAs during the covid panic.

Let's look at the data.

First, this is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. It randomized both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals who were at standard risk and high risk. Patients were randomly assigned Paxlovid. Diaries were used to track patients (this is common practice).

Thread: Trump fraud ruling

I decided to write this thread to point a legal point that renders the New York fraud ruling to be logically inconsistent and legally unsustainable. It can only be sustained on the basis of going after Trump.

Now, let's start from fraud law. Civil fraud in NY requires: 1) a misrepresentation or a material omission of fact which was false and known to be false; 2) made for the purpose of inducing the other party to rely upon it, and 3) justifiable reliance of the other party.

Justifiable reliance is key here.

Thread:

DEI is now openly discussed in media and our political debates. But many are confused about DEI is and what it is not.

Let's get what it is not out of the way. DEI is not a system that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. Nor is it a system to remediate past harm. It is a political philosophy that is Marxism fused with identity grievance politics. The basis for all identity grievance politics is a concept called "intersectionality." Intersectionality is described by the chart below.

This is now a standard deflection used by people who supported masks, closing schools, and business closures. It is false. This is not hindsight. We knew a lot about the virus and we knew what to do and what not to do.

Let's walk down memory lane before the world went insane.

By February 2020, we already knew who the virus harmed - the old and frail. How did we know? The Chinese CDC reported the results in 2/2020.

Almost every progressive policy over the last 70 years has benefited urban elites. Covid was no different. Shutting down businesses and closing schools was never going to stop the virus.

The policy decisions during covid were based on unbridled evil. Let me explain. Let's say that you believed covid was a highly deadly virus. You had broadly 2 choices - continue living your life and supporting society OR hide away in your home and have other people support you.

In modern, urban societies, few people have the capacity to go off the grid.

John is the "chief data reporter" at FT. He should realize that the sudden spike in "heat-related deaths" beginning in 2016 and accelerating needs to be analyzed because it looks like a reporting issue, not climate change. He doesn't do it.

So, let me.

First, there has been no noticeable increase in days over 100 degrees per year in Phoenix over the last 2 decades - one of the hottest parts of the state. Indeed, you will notice that 2023 is so far a below average year.

If you think yesterday's decision will decrease race-based admissions, you couldn't be more wrong.

I have seen how colleges admit new students and here is what they will do.

1. Colleges will deemphasize standardized testing entirely. 2. They will deemphasize the importance of AP classes. AP classes have been under attack by progressives. This decision will be accelerate that attack.

3. Colleges will emphasize interviews and college essays. These rarely mattered. Now, they will be of primary importance.

Fear of coronavirus infection can cause brain damage, which includes:

1) wearing masks with catching slogans;
2) wearing masks outside;
3) wearing masks generally;
4) forcing kids to wear masks;
5) Staying home to stay safe;
6) Listening to Anthony Fauci;

7) voting for Joe Biden a second time;
8) believing that Hunter Biden's computer was "Russian disinformation;"
9) believing anything that the CDC tells you;
10) believing that the FBI and CIA work for "America's best interest;"

So, there is a lot of talk about climate change and the forest fires. Don't let governments play this card. It is years of terrible forestry practices that have come home to roost.

Across the US and Canada, forests are a disaster, particularly in the west. There are too many trees that are too densely packed together. To the average person, the forests look great. They are a mess. By extinguishing fires for decades, we now have a powder keg that destroys forests. Fire is a necessary part of the ecology of many forests.

You see this tired and stupid take all of the time. Those men were fighting actual fascism. They were heroes that liberated Europe.

Antifa, on the other hand, is nothing like those men.

Antifa has a lot in common with the Nazis than with anyone in the US. Antifa is a collection of misfits and depraved people who want to impose their vision of society on the rest of us. Take a look:
