This ProPublica piece on Amber Thurman's death is a masterclass in hackery and conjecture. There's literally nothing in the piece backing the claim that Thurman died because of GA's abortion law: Thurman suffered complications from abortion pills. She was taken to a hospital & doctors reacted slowly. There's not a single on-the-record source saying the abortion law stopped doctors from treating any infection or removing fetal tissue. Even if they had, it wouldn’t be true.

Comparing Biden's mental troubles with Reagan is such a joke. Here is Reagan at the end of his first term -- no list, just calling on reporters and coherently and succinctly answering questions. Here is Reagan's final press conference -- where he recalls questions that reporters had asked him 8 earlier, as well other specific, historic and policy information.

Hey, remember that time Obama was trying to cut a sweetheart deal with Islamists in Iran and his allies at the New York Times created a handy online chart so that readers could track down all the Jewish politicians who opposed the president? Echo chamber nitwits mimicked Obama's false choice re deal or war. "Though more Jewish members of Congress support the deal than oppose it, the Democrats against the deal are more likely to be Jewish or represent Jewish constituencies," it explained.

This is embarrassing nonsense. Using this standard, no individual funder of issue campaigns "backs" any candidate or cause. It's more semantic bs and Calvinball.

People who do this don't give a shit about Jews. Their religion is politics. Gross. Politically motivated accusations of anti-Semitism are pernicious because they diminish the seriousness of the real thing.

So, Biden's lawyers didn't just accidentally trip over some classified documents when innocently packing boxes for a move. Some agency or law enforcement probably asked for missing document. And only then did Biden's people begin "cooperating." This story is being leaked in small doses to mitigate the political damage. But the fact is that Biden probably knew he was possession of many classified documents, some for a decade or more, even when he dinging Trump and even as his admin was ordering a raid.

I've read the thread 3x and I can't any quote undermining the notion that MLK's dream was an America where ppl were judged not by the "color of their skin but by the content of their character." Legum seems to think MLK's criticism of racism is itself a form of identitarianism. Of course, the entire thread is a giant strawman. Because the argument isn't that we should IGNORE race, or the history of race, but rather that the ideal is that people should not be judged -- legally and societally -- by their immutable qualities, but rather by their deeds.

I wish he'd get some new material. The quote, by the way, which comes from a Jefferson letter. says, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots *and tyrants.”* He always skips that last part.

This piece is a masterpiece in dishonest strawman-ing. There’s no reason for anyone to who supposedly believes in “democracy” to defend suppressing news. So they have to pretend it wasn’t. If Donjr’s laptop had pics of him doing crack and contained evidence that his dad had taken a ten percent cut of his shady chicom cash, I assume it would be a pretty big story.

Not a single “journalist” who went on tv over the past two days and blamed conservatives for the Q shooting will apologize or be reprimanded. And they’ll do the same thing next time. All they have to do is wait and find out the motive before politicizing these horrific crimes. They can’t control themselves.

not even close. Japan, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, South Korea, France, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Spain, India, Singapore, South Africa. It's true that a number of Western European nations that also pumped money into a hot economy are experiencing high inflation.

Aside from being a highly overrated movie, Grease sent a HORRIBLE message to Gen X kids. Sandy, a beautiful, talented, high-achieving exchange student, ends up listening to the advice of Frenchy, a beauty school drop-out, and Rizzo, a woman whose bad decision-making leads to a high school abortion.

The gvt burned down the economy, incentivized ppl not to go back to work, & is now patting itself on the back. The job participation rate is still well below pre-pandemic numbers. Labor force shrank by 240,000 in July. Inflation still has to be dealt with

Giving poor parents the ability to choose better schools for their kids--as most school-choice programs do--is allowing those of "wealth and capital and privilege to dominate others?" This is just progressive mad libs. The wealthy love their public schools. They're not the ones trying to escape the public school system.

Forcing taxpayer--many of whom worked their asses off paying back loans or never went to college or are paying their own mortgages--to take on the loans of some journalism degree major is tantamount to vaccinating society. This is all just collectivist gibberish. "Eliminating" loans. Do these people think the loans just dissipate?

Clearly Delaware is the worst state, but Ohio is taking a serious run at the title. The only reason I’m not fully anti Ohio is that our greatest president Warren Harding was born there.
