Some things are left unsaid in political discourse because they are taken for granted. Some propositions, such as that individuals and groups of individuals have identifiable interests, are considered so obvious that they go without saying. Another class of propositions, equally obvious, are left unspoken because they disrupt the atmosphere of political theater. They deflate sentimental assumptions and discredit comforting narratives. The neglect of these propositions is not universal; they are occasionally expressed by individuals and political commentators, and are readily observable by the average person, yet they are ignored or dismissed in mainstream discourse. The pretense that these observable phenomena are insignificant or nonexistent

I like articles like this. Thought provoking and not too complicated. As to point #5... Models are not "science". They are tools, giving an idea of what may be happening or explain something that happened. Models are easier to prove as incorrect than they are to be proven correct. Proving a model in a non-linear system is impossible. They are about as factual as an opinion. Just throw some bones instead.

Articles like this and others lately have pointed out the failure of so-called "experts" (usually highly credentialed experts) to get things right. However, the opposite side of coin is also a bane on civil society, and that's allowing people who have zero background in a subject matter area to decide public policy. The biggest such issue is "global warming" or "climate change" ... where we have been treated to the "expert" predictions of morons like Al Gore, while actual climate scientists with bank-worthy opinions like Dr. Richard Lindzen (Prof. Emeritius at MIT) have been marginalized.

Because otherwise, this was gonna be another Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy debacle, only more so — which the liberals would weaponize to avoid culpability. So thank God, early Friday morning, our prayers were answered. As my esteemed colleague Matt Margolis reported, President Donald Trump announced on “Fox & Friends” that a murder suspect is now in custody — turned in, apparently, by his own father. But even before he was taken into custody, I was optimistic about this outcome. Had this sick, twisted monster valued the PR messaging more than his life, immediately after the murder, his most likely next move would’ve been to: Claim credit for Charlie’s death;

Of all the countless social media posts that have demonstrated near-total desensitization to current events and the dehumanization of conservatives, one stands out for me. It’s a video of a rather petite woman, smiling into the camera as though she is talking to a friend. Only her words betray her kindly persona: "Live by the sword, die by the sword. You did say that gun deaths were an acceptable side effect of gun rights." She punctuates the end of video with callous laughter. (X) How did she get here? How did we get here?

Of all the activist groups on the left, the Southern Poverty Law Center, SPLC, is the most vile. I put it above all others, because they have contributed more to creating an atmosphere of hate toward Christian groups and free speech outlets in this country than any other organization. The SPLC adds an Orwellian touch by calling the instrument by which it sows hatred a “hate map”. The hate map identifies organizations that it believes should be considered persona non grata by polite society for their racist views. Unfortunately, our corporate managerial class takes the hate map seriously and does its best to obstruct organizations listed on it from banking,
Why Do They Call Trump Hitler? [Updated] 11 replies

Two of the radio and television shows that I was on yesterday were hosted by liberals. In each case, they asked what I thought *we* can do to reduce political violence. For starters, I said, you can stop calling everyone you disagree with Adolf Hitler. They didn’t seem to think that was a good idea. Which raises the question: Why do liberal politicians, talking heads and social media influencers relentlessly liken Donald Trump to Hitler? In every relevant way, Trump is the exact opposite of Hitler. Hitler invaded Poland, France, Belgium, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Greece, and no doubt a couple more that don’t come to mind.

California Democrats passed a bill that would ban federal immigration agents and other federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks. “We’re looking at the constitutionality of it,” Gov. Newsom said in July. Don't bother looking, governor. Any eighth grader could tell you that a governor can't order federal law enforcement or any other federal official to do anything. This is virtue signaling at its finest, and naturally, Democrats are waving the bloody shirt for all to see. “We are in a truly disaster of a situation where we have secret police, effectively, on our streets,” said Scott Wiener, a Democratic state senator from San Francisco.

Leftists are inherently miserable people, we know that. They also think that misery should be spread around and communal. They've been spreading a lot of it around for many years, but it's really gotten bad of late. Catholic school kids are gunned down at Mass. A young refugee woman is brutally murdered by a lunatic who was only on the streets because Democrats fetishize and glorify criminals. Now a young husband and father who was a refreshingly positive voice in the negative world of politics has been assassinated. That's a lot to process for decent people. For the mentally unwell American Left, it's just another reason

The assassination of Charlie Kirk represents an incalculable loss to his young family, to the conservative movement, and therefore to the United States. We mourn his death but we also feel deep anger in our breasts. If we did not represent the forces of constitutional order, it feels like it could be the opening salvo of a civil war. It provokes us to wonder what might have happened if the assassination of President Trump had succeeded during last year’s campaign. We have no idea what evidence the shooter left behind, but it appears that Kirk’s assassination was something of a professional job. Whoever did it — and whoever

We will obviously be doing this a little bit differently today. I've gone lighter with the links today, and the majority of them are related to the horrible news from yesterday. If you're looking for something poignant, I'm not your guy right now. My colleagues have done remarkable work eulogizing and paying tribute to Charlie Kirk; there is absolutely nothing that I can add to their heartfelt words. Words that I know weren't easy to write.

When news broke Wednesday afternoon that conservative activist Charlie Kirk had been shot at Utah Valley University, something disturbing happened. Mainstream media personalities seemed more interested in providing context that somehow justified the violence. The grotesque spectacle that followed reveals everything wrong with today's media landscape. The facts are straightforward enough. Kirk was conducting a Q&A session on campus when a gunshot rang out, striking him near the neck. Video footage shows blood streaming from his wound as shocked onlookers scattered. When reports surfaced that Kirk's condition was uncertain, the media vultures were already circling with their victim-blaming narratives.

My blood boils when I think about the stabbing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska partly because, in watching the video, I could almost see what was coming next. Being new to America, Iryna was not aware of some basic safety precautions that most natives take for granted when traveling in Democrat cities. First, there is no way that I would sit down with my back to a Rastaman-looking character like Decarlos Brown Jr. In fact, I probably would have moved to another train car. However, Iryna sensed no peril. Apparently, none of her American friends had sat her down and gave her a heads up on life in America.

Fired MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd said on Friday that he was “naive” to state on national television that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk brought his assassination on himself. MSNBC fired Dowd on Wednesday evening after he said that Kirk’s so-called “hate speech” led to his assassination, which sparked intense backlash among conservatives and mourners. The political analyst wrote in a Substack post that he did not expect people to be outraged by him bringing up that Kirk is a “divisive and polarizing figure.”

A Secret Service Agent, in a Facebook post, said Charlie Kirk deserved to be assassinated. TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was brutally murdered in broad daylight on Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University. A gunman climbed up onto a roof and shot Charlie Kirk from an elevated position. Secret Service Agent Anthony Pough said Charlie Kirk, a Christian husband and father to two young children, deserved to be murdered in cold blood. “If you are Mourning this guy… delete me. He spewed hate and racism on his show,” Anthony Pough wrote.

WASHINGTON — Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, President Donald Trump may be uniquely positioned to tamp down the anger that suffuses American politics and lead a movement to bind up a bitterly divided country if he chooses. But, political strategists and officials from both parties told NBC News, that’s not the path Trump appears to be taking. Trump has been both a target of assassination attempts and a fount of vitriolic rhetoric. He knows firsthand the passions that drive American voters and, were he to renounce partisan attacks and call on others in both parties to do the same, that gesture could potentially send a healing message.

COLUMBUS, Ohio [WJW-TV Cleveland] - A state lawmaker proposes allowing utilities to take control of volunteering customers’ thermostats or appliances, to decrease overall demand on the energy grid in times of peak consumption. Such optional demand response programs are already available to large commercial users, but House Bill 427, introduced in late August by state Rep. Roy Klopfenstein, R-Haviland, would allow utilities to develop them for residential consumers. “This legislation is a crucial step in our state’s comprehensive plan to ensure all Ohioans have access to reliable, affordable and readily available energy,” The programs wouldn’t be mandatory.

The rifle was recovered Wednesday night in a wooded area where the FBI believes the killer fled after the shooting. It was wrapped in a towel and had three unused ammo cartridges still in the chamber. Each was “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology,” the Journal reported…

It is almost a quarter-century now since the Sept. 11, 2001 jihad attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City and Washington. Many Americans assume that the jihad threat was somehow neutralized and contained in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, such that a large-scale jihad attack can never happen again in America, and the public discourse has moved on to other issues: mass migration, skyrocketing crime in the cities, tariffs, and the like. In reality, however, the jihad against the U.S. has not ended, and in the near-quarter century since 9/11, the jihadis have made immense gains.

Flight tracking data shows the jet left the airport shortly after 2pm and headed south towards the Arizona border before it disappeared from radars.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been asked to return to Congress to answer questions about emails uncovered by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) showing the former White House COVID-19 czar asking colleagues to “delete” messages, according to copies obtained by The Post. Fauci, who helmed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for decades, in two email chains asked other public health officials — including then-National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins — to send his emails to the trash bin after reading them. One of the communications from Feb. 2, 2020, revealed the ex-NIAID head imploring Collins to “Please delete this e-mail after you read it”
