Worth contemplating in the current context of increasing calls for violence from leftists to “save our democracy.”

Why DOGE Is Important
Tax payers have been funding our opponents. If DOGE continues, the real political dynamic of the US will emerge. This, not the deficit, is why DOGE matters so much. https://t.co/qS9zxGddJ7

This Should Terrify The Corrupt NGOs
🚨 New tool in the works! 🚨
— DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) April 15, 2025
Today I've been deep in the guts of something ambitious: a system to cross-check Form 990 data, audit reports, and federal spending to flag when an org’s stated purpose doesn’t match where the money’s actually going. 🕵️‍♂️💸
Here’s how it’s coming…
If I believed in God, I’d say she’s doing His work.
“Why Do I Have Guns?”
…because of people like Taylor Lorenz.
The Proposed “Science Budget Cuts” At NASA
Bob Zimmerman says that there are things deserving of cutting.

Her lust for power saved America.
On the “Genocide” in Gaza
There’s so many aspects of the Gaza war that people simply overlook and don’t even mention, and I feel it is vitally important to detail it here. I’ve read hundreds of reports and analyses by military and political and humanitarian “experts”, yet none have ever mentioned this, so…

Britain Is Lurching Toward A Civil War
…and no one knows how to stop it.
I wouldn’t say that no one knows so much as no one with political power knows, or necessarily wants to.
