“If the American presidency is an inherently violent office, what does it mean for any Black woman to hold it?” So on planet Coates, the Presidency is an “inherently violent office,” but the Vice Presidency isn’t?

A white man became a "trans woman," got verified in California's gay-certification program, and secured special utility contracts for "LGBT-owned" businesses. "If I was a straight, white male, I might be concerned I don’t have the same opportunity. It worked out great for me."

The fleet includes Toyota RAV4s, Chevy Malibus and Chevy Equinoxes. All but one were made between 2024 and 2026, with the remaining vehicle manufactured in 2022. Read more at: charlotteobserver.com/news/l…

The cross-burning incident in Chicago that was blamed on white supremacists was actually a leftist anti-Trump protest by an Asian American man. @thisisUIC senior Merlin Lu said he was protesting Christian nationalism and MAGA.

These greedy con artists made America hate itself while they got it on. Gross. What a shoddy scam it all was, the whole era. Good riddance.

California has hired teams of bureaucrats to run the state’s gay-certification program. They’re making lists and pressuring utilities to spend 1.5% of their supplier budgets on gay-certified companies. This is madness.

“She finished in like 500th place in 2020 w/zero delegates despite friendly media, was handed the nomination in 2024 and somehow did 8% worse among black voters than her dead white predecessor Joe Biden, but is she right for 2024? Ta-Nehisi Coates investigates” pewresearch.org/politics/202…

Democrats are making the same mistake they made in 1968. They're not simply moving to the left; they're not simply saying, We want to raise your taxes even more; we want to spend even more of your money. They're nominating, or looking to nominate, candidates who loathe the American bourgeoisie, the American project. It would be a little less risible if it hadn't been tried before, and if it hadn't flamed out so disastrously. Alas, there is nothing original about these people. The hatred of capitalism, the economic illiteracy, the dishonesty, the radical chic -- all of it is in keeping with the angry, disaffected, college-educated children of the American middle and upper-middle classes who stormed the party, figuratively and otherwise, at the convention in Chicago. The new candidates, like the old, seem uninterested in political comity; they're intellectually vapid; and, most importantly, they're incapable of a genuine empathy. They think empathy is whatever they call "justice" or "equity." It is not. The right response to the new radicalism is a very masculine no. No, we don't hate people who have been successful. No, we don't hate white people. No, we don't hate Jews. No, we don't think there's anything smart or forward-looking about "degrowth." And above all, most importantly, no, we don't hate America. We believe America is civilization's last great hope. But the party, the whole progressive or sort of progressive flank, seems too weak for that now -- uncertain, wavering, wondering, consumed by any number of confusions and neuroses. It has succumbed to the drunken fevers of the radical. It has forgotten what happened to it after the convention, the fireworks, the rock n' roll, came to an ignominious end.

SCOOP: California is pressuring public utilities to award $633 million in special contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. To qualify, residents must go through the state's official gay-certification program—and face up to a year in jail if they're not gay enough. city-journal.org/article/cal…

One of the hallmarks of communism is the exaltation of ugliness. Contrast our gorgeous Depression-era LA architecture with the commie brutalist slop vomited upon us today. I'll support any candidate who vows to throw this architect in prison for crimes against beauty.

Do you practice religious discrimination in Florida, @MLB? You’ll be hearing from my office soon.

COLEMAN: “There are. . . literally zero examples of Arab Muslim majority liberal democracies that consistently protect minority and religious rights.” @PeterBeinart gives his take on the latest episode of Conversations with Coleman.

Stop pressuring athletes to wear pride merch. If a player cares about the cause & wants to promote it, they can do so voluntarily, which makes it more meaningful anyway. Practically forcing people to play along just breeds conflict for the sake of virtue signaling.

The CDC got caught, publishing low-grade studies called "test negative" to promote vaccines. When CDC held a seminar to discuss the matter, they chose U of Michigan's Emily Martin to defend their poor science. I looked into Martin's background and it's absolutely hilarious!!! Martin published a 2022 "masks work!" essay that relied on work by Tom Jefferson w/ Cochrane. But Jefferson told me that Martin cherry-picked an out of date version of the Cochrane study, because it told Martin what she wanted to hear.
