Charlie Kirk spent his lifeβs work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weβre now not supposed to mention that because itβs not polite.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

When a Black peacemaker was shot, the Press called it a βslayingβ.

New coronavirus discovered in Chinese bats sparks alarm
The virus binds to humans in a similar way to the virus that causes COVID-19.
We should send newly confirmed expert, RFK Jr. to Wuhan so he can expose himself to this new virus and let us know if everything is ok. If he looks good after a few months they can send him back home! π Iβm sure he wouldnβt want to endanger anyone with vaccines!
