These are the most important words a White House Chief of Staff have ever spoken…
Listen. You know I am right.

They're just driven insane by their inability to argue their case. So they want to kill everyone.
Scott Galloway calls Elon Musk a "traitor to the West" and invokes the executions of the Rosenbergs after WW2.
"We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall. This is a traitor to the West, and he should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West."
*Applause*
These people are absolutely unhinged.
Had I been aware that Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile, I would have declined his invitation to the island. I regret that I was not.
But hey, I’m here now, so I might as well enjoy this daiquiri while I—LOWER, Svetlana, lower…ahh yes, yes, that’s it.

BREAKING: Dallas Morning News just added an editor's note saying they were unaware that the author was paid $57,000 by Gina Hinojosa’s political campaign.
They said they wouldn't have published it if they knew.
Then take it down, now, @dallasnews.

Amazing. Hats off to @HaleyforMI. This act of courage will likely cost her all future support she would have received from the DNC. She’s too committed of a liberal to think about switching parties, but she will overnight become the most popular politician in the state of Michigan, and deservedly so. It’s a shame she didn’t win the primary, but Republicans owe her their support in future primaries (they’re open in MI) and should feel contented when she inevitably beats the Republican candidate for Governor in 2030.
Stevens says she’s for investing in Black owned businesses.
“And that’s the policy that Mike’s going to take on,” Stevens says

The modern three-world model
Been to 89 countries now, and I can say with total confidence there are only 10 real “1st World” countries:
• Switzerland 🇨🇭
• Monaco 🇲🇨
• Luxembourg 🇱🇺
• Andorra 🇦🇩
• Japan 🇯🇵
• Singapore 🇸🇬
• South Korea 🇰🇷
• Liechtenstein 🇱🇮
• Norway 🇳🇴
• Iceland 🇮🇸
I might do a full ranking soon.

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

I’ve never heard an adult talk about his high school football glory more than this chode.
It bothers him endlessly that Mike Rogers played D1 high school football, whereas Abdul played D4.
A backup on a D1 team is on average a decidedly better player than a starter on a D4 team.
Abdul El-Sayed uses race to try bonding with Hasan Minhaj and gets shut down instantly 🤣
EL-SAYED: "Something about being a brown kid whose parents, like, no matter what you do, you’re never enough..."
MINHAJ: "Yeah...can I talk to you about strategy though?"

The idea that Pinochet, Mussolini, and Franco, who killed under 1% of their countrymen after they took power, were worse than Pol Pot, who murdered about 25% of his, is beyond absurd.
And Pinochet probably did more good than harm overall. Pol Pot, on the other hand, destroyed almost everything he touched. His per capita domestic civilian death toll was higher than everyone on this list.

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

1990s Glenn Beck (pictured) may have been an alcoholic stoner, but his aesthetics back then gave promise that you were looking at the next Rush Limbaugh. That promise never came to fruition, despite his unequivocal success, and I think his styling choices after his conversion to Mormonism are mostly to blame. It’s just impossible to take a man seriously who presents himself this way.
I love the Mormons, but there is something about LDS that makes men weirdly vain and closeted-presenting, even after one’s Boy Scout years.
“They are planning a France-like ending to America.”
Glenn Beck alleges that forces behind the Democratic Socialists of America are pursuing a path toward similar unrest, accusing big media of overlooking the threat.

I'm not sure we've ever seen a political candidate this thirsty for a tough guy image.

People are growing really tired of Abdul's smug, whiny, fake tough guy schtick. Angry snark works great for a couple of weeks, early in the cycle, but then you need to attenuate it and dial up the optimism and hope as you close. Now, every single clip of Abdul in memory is him with a furrowed brow looking smug and offended and angry, so it's painting one consistent picture...Abdul's a little bitch.

> sleeps in her rapist’s bed

Patently absurd.
A criminal inquiry is underway after a 19-year-old Louisiana State University student posted on social media last month claiming she was raped by an LSU football player. Earlier this year, a Title IX investigation found the football player responsible for forcible rape, but he remains on campus playing for the LSU football team.
In an exclusive interview, CBS News’ @Jerickaduncan spoke to the woman who's questioning the university's handling of the case.

“Step aside, Soros”
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

When I say that women lack the concept of an honorable enemy, this is what I’m talking about.
Obviously a lot of the Democrats’ new vindictiveness is Trump derangement, but the Great Feminization is part of the story, too.
Men understand that the other guy is a professional just like me, and we should have an open fight by fair rules and both go home at the end of the day.
For women, conflict isn’t over until the other side is gone and they never have to talk to them again.
Men believe in hierarchy, so a fight is about establishing dominance within the hierarchy and making the other guy subordinate.
Women don’t, everything is egalitarian and consensus-driven, so if you do get conflict, the only possible outcome is total exclusion from the group.
It makes sense that the Democratic Party is abandoning old-fashioned ideas about honorable conflict as it becomes more dominated by women.
