Brava, Bari Weiss!

The hyped event with Widow Kirk went unwatched.

The censored 60 minute spot may be the most widely viewed ever.

“I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.”
Trump has always longed to be part of the "in-crowd" of cultural elites, but they've never accepted him. His complete takeover of the Kennedy Center, including naming it after himself, is an attempt to put himself in the center of our culture, but it isn't working.

Since Trump has threatened two loyal NATO members (Canada and Denmark) with military aggression, the NATO no longer exists, because it is based on trust.
The other NATO members should jointly tell the US that they regret that Trump has betrayed the alliance.

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

Not all artists are geniuses or world-changers. Some just lighten up the load of living for others. Chris Rea did this for millions of people without ever cheating, with absolute honesty. This is a rare kind of dignity. RIP.

You don’t get to instruct anything around here,” he bellows at his opponent, building to a crescendo of rage. “This is not North Carolina, not South Carolina, nor Kentucky. This is the sovereign state of Mississippi’s proceeding. Wipe that smirk off your face!” It’s a deliciously cathartic moment

All of Bari Weiss' notes on the CECOT piece are on the order of "We spend a lot of time on the people that O.J. Simpson killed. This implies there are other people he didn't kill. We need to flesh that out." www.deseret.com/politics/202...
Why Bari Weiss held a '60 Minutes' story
The CBS News editor said a report on El Salvador’s mega-prison failed to meet editorial standards. The correspondent behind it called the decision political.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

That was a rhetorical question. They did it because Paramount was sold to Larry Ellison who put Bari Weiss in charge of CBS so it's just another Fox News now doing whatever Trump asks them to do. Since Ellison is a Zionist, CBS also does whatever Israel wants them to do. Let's take our MSM back.

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.
