It is obvious that the real motivation for trying to get rid of RB is that he has the courage to attack the ongoing corrupt practices of the current power structure.


I just subscribed to Glenn Loury glennloury.substack.com/?utm_medium=we… He is fearless and not hinderd by the fear that wokness has created in so many. I would love to hear his take on the incredible cowardliness shown by the Art Institute of Chicago.


This statement is meaningless. Reduction of women’s rights is an inherent part of Islamic practice.


Do folks presenting the news on TV go to stupid school. Just heard one presenting a breathless report on the dangers of caused by computerized guidance system on Tesla cars. She completely ignored to present any sort of net gain/loss for the safety system as a whole.


Vaccine requirements for schools have been in force for a long time, why is it only now that it has become a hot political issue?


Strangly the left-wing supported woke nonsense gives oxygen to the equally nonsensical antivax supported by the right-wing. Both movements stem from pre-enlightenment thinking.


We must start putting real pressure on the governor. Being the only state with significant restrictions will be very harmful in the long-run. If he lacks the courage to make needed changes, he should immediately resign. Call gov’s office tomorrow!


A Case of "Intellectual Capture?" On YouTube's Demonetization of Bret Weinstein, by @mtaibbi taibbi.substack.com/p/a-case-of-in… Unacceptable attack on freedom of speech.


Liberate Hawai’i, throw out the gov.


I just subscribed to It Bears Mentioning johnmcwhorter.substack.com/?utm_medium=we… Helps create a space for honest and open discussion of important social issues. An antidote for the authoritarian woke nonsense.


I am appalled that the Left continues to give the Right the free speech issue, a gift that will probably result in the GOP taking back Congress ’22 and the White House in ’24. Identity politics with its inherent need to police speech must go.


I’m really getting tired of Biden’s moves toward a repressive right since his election. Press secretary argues that it is OK to eliminate former pot smokers from employment by administration since it was recommended by “security services.” Do these services have a veto?


Fifty Years of Fear and Loathing – Quillette quillette.com/2021/03/21/fif… via @Quillette Excellent into to a wonderful book. We need more of the sort of creativity that allows for confusion between fiction/nonfiction.


During the campaign Biden correctly pointed out the disgusting display of self-interest that typified Trump and his administration. However he seems to have lost interest in fixing this deplorable situation. youtube.com/watch?v=hIGbh4…

Take your choice, freedom of speech or facist wok nonsense. You can’t have both.


Hey Joe, your team won. Pass the COVID relief bill now.
