Looking backwards at history is an important part of Thanksgiving. But it’s also important to look ahead. That’s why this year, instead of turkey we had Peking Duck.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.
It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.
Now the NG is not leaving DC.

I honestly don’t care if you think I’m a conspiracy theorist.
I believe that DC shooting was a false flag op to justify keeping National Guard troops in DC.
It’s precisely the kind of thing a desperate man would do to keep the military around him, which he can control.

Indiana Senate Republican Bohacek says he'll vote NO on Trump's redistricting because his daughter has Down Syndrome & he's offended Trump used the R word.
I'm glad he's breaking with Trump—but can Republicans just do the right thing because its right, not because it finally ALSO harmed them?🤔

Every time a US veteran snaps people fall all over each other to point out the effects of war and literal physical changes that PTSD triggers, but one Afghan veteran snaps and we’re going to shut down immigration for all Afghans forever and I bet they’re working on revoking parole wholesale

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.
