A shame that Demography did not go for an outright retraction. This imposes high cost on potential readers. Hopefully high enough that the original paper does not get read or cited.

Yup. Uneducated, ignorant, low-IQ for sure, without relevant skills, but with dementia.

Trump calling Kaitlan Collins “stupid” and “nasty” for asking a basic question about his over budget ballroom is exactly who he is, but it’s still shameful coming from a U.S. president.

A man with unlimited power, and money, yet he’s perpetually angry, petty, and allergic to accountability.👇

Pete Hegseth Invokes ‘Fog Of War’ After Pissing In Break Room Refrigerator ARLINGTON, VA—Describing the incident as a split-second operational judgment made under rapidly evolving conditions, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invoked the “fog of war” Thursday to explain why he ...

“In the heat of the moment, you’ve got to make a decision, and sometimes that decision is imperfect,” said Hegseth

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

The situation is tense in the Senate.. A lot of those people are up for election in less than a year.. #politics

Anyone defending execution as a reasonable punishment for drug smuggling is a Nazi. Pass it on.

This is my “game-theoretic” read of the leaked transcripts between Witkoff, Ushakov, and Dmitriev:

Waters: This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we're all doing: resisting this lowdown dirty no good filthy president

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

This is how you do it

More madness ... and, yes, likely to backfire like the Halligan shenanigans.

Celebrations are in order. In the grand scheme of things, a minor win but an important win all the same. Sets a useful precedent. Halligan is so cooked. Prediction: Trump will drop her like a hot potato. He does not like losers. Even losers with fabulous hair.

DOGE has been doged. A colossal and entirely predictable failure.

This kid is brilliant. Voice of a generation.

King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

Stupid and smug commentary. Disappointing. The Bulwark needs to do better.

“Groveling all over him.”

Too funny (if it weren't so friggin dangerous) ...

Putin has no plan for winning in Ukraine.

His losses are catastrophic – 984k-1.44m casualties, up to 480k dead and all he has achieved is expanding NATO and wiping out a generation of young Russian men, writes The Economist. 1/
