    Meta's Zuckerberg gets rid of fact-checkers

    “Fact checkers have been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created,” Zuckerberg said in a video announcing the new policy Tuesday. “What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different...

    Fluoride in the water

    Much has been made of RFK Jr.'s initiative to stop putting fluoride in our water supplies. Factcheck.org has dutifully responded by regurgitating the CDCs talking points. The mineral fluoride, at the right dose, has been shown to reduce the risk of tooth decay. Based on studies demonstrating...

    Nearly every voting bloc moved to the right in this election

    This graph from the Financial Times is quite interesting. Nearly every single voting bloc moved to the right, some substantially so. This is really going to throw a monkey wrench into the narrative that it was just racist, misogynistic bigotry that gave Trump the White House for a second term.

    Will Trump's resounding and definitive win cause Democrats to reflect?

    So the results are in. Trump not only won the election, but he completely decimated Harris. This is one of the most telling maps that the NYT provides. The red arrows represent shifts in margin from the 2020 vote toward Trump, and the blue arrows represent shift toward Harris. The longer the...

    Could "conscience votes" cost Harris the election?

    Here's an interesting article on how Democrats in Michigan and PA will be casting "conscience votes" that could greatly hurt Harris' chances in those critical states. Sonia Rosen, a voter in Pennsylvania, told me she felt “mocked” by Harris’ approach to Democratic voters, a majority of whom...

    Apostrophe-gate

    The other day, I coined the term "Apostrophe-gate" in one of my posts. It seems I was not that far off. For the uninitiated, Biden recently said the following: "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters". Democrat apologists came out of the woodwork to try to say that what...

    Trust in media is at record lows

    A recent Gallup survey shows that only 32% of people in the US have a "great deal/fair amount" of trust in mass media while 39% say they have "none at all". A combined 68% (!) of people regardless of political persuasion have "not very much" trust or "none at all". Democrats are far more...

    Harris plagiarized in more than a dozen instances in her book "Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor’s Plan to Make Us Safer"

    To her supporters, the vice president’s rhetorical flourishes represent the values of compassion and optimism. To her detractors, her reliance on platitudes and tautologies demonstrates her unfitness for the presidency. But, as we have discovered in this exclusive report, another element...

    60 Minutes edits Harris Interview

    In the interview, veteran journalist Bill Whitaker asked presidential candidate Harris about whether Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden-Harris administration. Harris offered a response that can be generously characterized as word salad: “Well, Bill, the work...

    US Election "interference"

    I often see people who talk about social media posts from Russia (and other countries) as being classified as "election interference". But I'm not sure why. Of course, everybody runs straight to the Mueller report. They usually leave this tiny detail out: But the report drew no conclusion...

    Politico's post-debate analysis says that Vance's beard is representative of aggression

    One of the first bits of nonverbal communication to appear in the debate was on JD Vance’s face: his beard. As POLITICO Magazine has noted before, Vance is the first White House wannabe to wear facial hair in 80 years. Our appearance is fundamental to our body language, and research indicates...

    No-fault Kamala

    Interesting opinion piece in The Hill. Where Kamala Harris has gone, problems have followed — but never responsibility. While credit and promotions have always been hers, nothing has ever been her fault. This has made for extraordinary political entrepreneurship, but it has not made for...

    Democrat Platform?

    Perhaps some of the Democrats here can enlighten me. Is it odd that the Democrats still don't have a published platform on their website 2 weeks after the conclusion of the DNC? I've been checking each day and as of this posting, the platform link still takes me to their 2020 platform. Any idea...
