  • Sometimes preserving democracy is an excuse to tip the scales.#
    • Postmodern truthiness. — DEMOCRACY IS WHEN THE ELITES DENY THE PEOPLE THE REPRESENTATION THEY VOTED FOR: German Government ... https://t.co/Q3d42TpyTT [Link]#
  • DOGE forever.#
    • The review needs to be ongoing and continuous. — Watch: Elon and the DOGE Crew Reveal More of the Startling Things They Found to Jesse Watters https://t.co/1r8rAbwJhY [Link]#
  • Fixing the court system.#
    • More nominations needed, but it would be trolling to increase the size of the Supreme Court. — FINALLY: Trump makes first judicial nomination since returning to White House. https://t.co/UyH8IpVuDR [Link]#

  • The Canadian Carney carnival.#
    • Yes, believing himself morally superior, Canada PM Mark Carney prefers top-down rule over bottom-up governance. While not an accurate quote, Carney still wants himself at the top. https://t.co/SleT0xdUK3 [Link]#
  • Journalism fail.#
    • A questionable history, if not a sordid one. — The Downfall Of 60 Minutes And The Biggest Media Scandal You’ve Never Heard Of https://t.co/RSpRqKh7uX [Link]#

  • The only place for “Orientalism” is in a propaganda course.#
    • Edward Said’s “Orientalism” was intentionally dead wrong, conflating culture with society that holds cultures together—A leftist postmodern word salad deserving being placed on a post as a warning to otjhers. In other words, a worthwhile read to discard with great force. https://t.co/2KmT9EvG59 [Link]#
  • Not journalism, but still a fail.#
    • The editors ... um ... could do better if they wanted to. — Wikipedia Editors Melt Down over U.S. Attorney Ed Martin Accusing Site of Political Bias https://t.co/TE08jrkWX7 via @BreitbartNews [Link]#
