To all the left-wing deathbringers out there: Trump's disapproval has recently been reported at an average of minus 12.9 points. Some light unskewing reveals that it's more like minus 10.0 points. And any minus 20 or minus 25 results are conceptual fabrications, utterly ridiculous even if derived from genuine data of some sort. More to the point, you're not going to shame Trump out of office. Your efforts so far have been shameful on their own. I'm not encouraging you to escalate; I'm encouraging you to give up completely and forever.

What I learned from seven months of daily 10k->20k now steps — the greatest challenge is not your tired legs/feet — it’s the weak mind. The discipline of daily exercise & food habits is a mind over matter struggle. Just start small and keep at it! Eating better flows from this.

The larger question is, “Why is a former head of the FBI putting any message in seashells on a social media post that could even remotely be considered controversial?” The answer isn’t about any political ideology. It’s simply another symptom of a collapsing society.

I don't like debating theology, but a word of warning to evangelicals: the more y'all push a theology debate with Latter-day Saints into the public eye, the less you might like the outcome.

He's demonstrated himself to be a programmatic leftoid. Might as well have a Media Matters chip in his head. A little bit against abortion, but then we all want more welfare babies, don't we?

I can't speak to WW1. But the US had 9,000 chaplains in WW2 versus a mere 1,000 for the Germans, and guess who won?

Quant Alert: Oil prices are not rocketing to $150 or $200 in the near future. A few spot transactions have been reported at $150, and malicious actors in the futures markets are pushing for $200 per barrel. Those spot transactions were opportunistic gouging, sort of like showing up in Las Vegas and shelling out $25 for the first water bottle in sight....A tanker shows up in the Persian Gulf, without a contract or even with a contract, and has to fill up at $150 or leave with nothing. If world markets were that short of oil, futures prices would right now reflect that fact. Instead, prices have fluctuated for the past week between $92 and $99 a barrel. Not a pleasant fact, but not a disaster either.

Some of the best comedy ever, at least until about ten years ago. Why boast about such a profound deprivation?

"teaching assistant professor at North Carolina State University" This guy's not getting paid for his research, so he gives it away for free on Twitter. Not really qualified to settle any debates, imho.

Do you know how many papers and searches are involved in just renting an apartment? Or flying on an airplane? Oh wait, that's just for Americans so it doesn't matter.

You are so laughably ignorant. Niall Ferguson has no need for Trump's approval, and regularly disagrees with him. He's talking about power relationships, and even if you hate Trump he may have held his own at Davos.

Trump has been reported by CBS News to be down 18 points in his approval ratings. The latest Real Clear Politics average has him down by 12.1 points. My own more impartial figures, based on light unskewing of recent polls, have him down only 7.5 points. This is not bad for Trump, may still reflect media bias adopted by respondents, and is far better than Biden's averages in 2023 and 2024.

I may do some deeper unskewing soon. Internals are harder to find than they used to be, but I used them well in 2016 to predict Trump's close popular margin and solid electoral victory.

You've accepted a number of obvious lies, like "fake electors" or broken water mains or a distorted Raffensperger account...Donald Trump was the only person standing between our once-great nation and four years of relentless criminality by the Biden autopen regime.
