It is incredibly dispiriting to watch this play out. The evil consequences of releasing the Epstein Files to the deranged and imbecilic mob were entirely foreseeable. Meanwhile, no young woman is any safer. Shame on all responsible.

A quick search and you can see this man is being plastered all over every social media platform, maligned as the worst possible kind of pedophile. His life is going to be destroyed. The most unhinged lunatics have been given permission to unleash their sociopathy.

No, the Epstein Files demonstrate that the most florid conspiracy theories were wrong, and that Epstein's evil was a banal philistinism and hedonism, rather than something out of a spy novel. He used insecure rich people to legitimate his desires, rather than to rule the world.

Is every conspiracy theory real?

Minneapolis’s “ICE watch” network did not arise organically. My 3.5-week investigation for @CityJournal found that a well-funded group of professional activists implemented the operation, deploying a model now being used in cities across the US. 🧵

You cannot simultaneously believe that (1) all borders are fake and should not be policed, and (2) that land can be "stolen." This is one of the most braindead beliefs a person can hold.

The American left has completely adopted Palestinianism - everything is done to provoke law enforcement for a clip to create martyrs. None of these people actually care about this guy beyond how useful his corpse is in the fight against the Orange Man

When I go on a conservative-leaning podcast and they ask me 'Do immigrants explain a lot of the rise in housing costs?' and I'm like 'No, their contribution is pretty small' they're always kind of shocked. A bigger contributor is the decline of partnering. Pic related:

This all makes sense when you realize that Candace comes from a tribe of people who do voodoo as their religion and this is all downstream from that

Candace Owens is now pushing that Charlie Kirk was a TIME TRAVELLER - and that he had "AGENTS" (yes, like the Matrix) monitoring him from childhood - and that he was killed because he tried to DISTURB space-time continuum. No, I'm not kidding.
