Last Stand in Bird Flu Ostrich Land
The BC ostrich convoy enters the "find out" stage of FAFO and so have we all
As the accursed ostrich situation continues to get simultaneously more stupid and gravely serious, I decided to write up a very long analysis of many of the key issues. Bottom line: so long as this flock lives, it is a threat to Canada's national security. ๐งต

CBS News staffers are โliterally freaking outโ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom
EXCLUSIVE: โPeople are using words like depressing and doomsday โ feels like some sort of doomsday,โ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.
โ'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Everyone Else is Lying to You: My Book is Done!
The pandemicโs biggest disinformation superspreaders are now in charge. How did this happen?
The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!
COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.
Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.
How did that happen?๐งต

i have personally despised bari weiss for a long time, her book was incoherent garbage, and to see her rewarded with the plum of the profession while the smartest people i know are scraping for dollars is gross as hell

How did Bari Weiss go from an op ed writer to head of CBS News? Is this all about being besties with tech billionaires and pandering to their causes?

compromise with capitulation. If he was sincere, he would pose the same question of what is the right willing to surrender (2nd Amendment?) to make our country safer. He is pseudo intellectual at best, and lazy as well as insincere at worst.

Democratic leaders deciding not to embrace Mamdani after he won NYC's primary, or even to oppose him to some degree, really stands out considering how Dems' response to 2024 is fretting that they're losing ground with young voters and working class voters, and not attracting enough public attention.

Long term also means not losing the people already in your tent. If you can't maintain a line on party-defining values, you'll bleed out your base and breed apathy. More and more people who would have been Democrats just won't vote at all.

Folks, I'm not saying the guy claiming to have proof of Mike Johnson's Grinder account is a grifter, and I'm not saying he's not. I have no idea. I don't know him. He could absolutely be telling the truth. But please don't give him money for "legal defense" until he actually needs it. Free advice.

You are free to disagree with me. But if you do, you need to name a right that you are willing to give up, otherwise, Iโm not interested in a discussion.

Name a human right you are willing to give up. Read the piece. A forced birth democrat isnโt going to vote to protect abortion nor overcome lies about immigration or racism.
