I listened to that podcast you all talked about yesterday during a very long flight and I realized that Klein and Coates are not having the same conversation Klein thinks they’re having.

There is no leader of Antifa.
There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

One of the only welcome things about this current period in the U.S. is that the "this is not who WE are" stuff might finally be over.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

The cure for loneliness is making plans with friends, saying yes to new things, and dealing with stuff like long commutes. For example: on Wednesday, I went to a Blue Jays-Yankees playoff game with a friend despite the long subway ride to the Bronx and a desire to hide in my apartment. It was fun!

I think a foolproof way to get your kids into Halloween for the rest of their lives is showing them the Thriller music video when they’re a toddler. It’s like Compound V for having a spooky child.

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
