Gutfields comment is classic. The media is shameless.

We don't have anything near a free press. They have captured themselves. Nothing but snakes!

It's just a matter of time before their world collides with reality imo.

It doesn't surprise me in the least. No one watches that garbage except maybe podcasters and others who use it as material to dunk on. They just put on a show every day for empty lounges and lobbies and regurgitate whatever their corporate sponsors want said. People like Taylor Lorenz are just not independent minded enough to do anything without a corporate daddy who pays a pittance but has lawyers and a health plan. The legacy media will be kept on life support for a while longer, the elites will have to figure out how to squash any independent media or how to get them back onto the reservation.

The free press is elsewhere, on Youtube (or Rumble if you want to tell the truth about some things), on Substack, on Twitter and other sites.

“Who in their right mind would want to run when you have someone of such esteem as our incumbent president?”

Newsom reminds me of some transparent Don Juan type from a 19th-century novel—"There is no other woman in the world as beautiful as you...Who would want to even look at another woman after laying eyes upon your divine face" etc etc.

There are just some people who lie so well it feels like the truth to them, and who have such superficial charm and good looks (and often wealth) that it allows them to either dominate every situation or at least skate by without consequences.

What a silver-tongued seducer this man is! How the Karenocracy will swoon once their old man fades away and Don Gavin is at last able to court them. Lock up your daughters!

Didn't he say something like:

"Be hypocritical, so you're not what you seem, but always what you see"

Or I guess Lord Byron.

Seems fitting

Newsom couldn't carry Byron's jockstrap!

I look forward to your Friday emails & at the same time dread how far further off the rails things have gotten. Potentially, there may be a sense of exasperation amount some of the main stream media as to how bad matters have become. But realistically, Brad you are also a filter in this and this may simply reflect your wishful hoping for improvement. Amount younger people of my acquaintance, the liberals that keep any sort of political radar are mostly disillusioned. Too many of them have a sheltered view of reality that leaves them unable to understand basic concepts. The millennials have brought into being a generation of mushrooms.

Love these quotes and links however depressing is the state of our media to push such intellectually dishonest political propaganda.

“Although the majority of U.S. voters oppose it, 89% of Ivy League graduates are in favor of ‘strict rationing of meat, electricity, and gas to fight climate change.”

I have started a project to help here. That project is to refuse to hire people with a degree from any institution of higher learning known to be infected with the Theory/Woke virus. I am also providing free advisory services to my peer corporate CEOs for identifying job candidates with the sickness so to prevent their toxic presence from corrupting work cultures.

I think that is how we make progress in destroying the elite campus corruption of everything. If these snowflakes find their economic paths destroyed because their education credentials are not wanted, the institutions will have economic interests to start weeding out the Theory corrupt administrators and faculty.

This is a rational pursuit as CEOs across almost all industries are complaining about the productive-killing corruption of their work culture from the woke grievance ideology that derives from these broken learning institutions.

When I saw that Joy "Simple Jack" Reid thing on a podcast I thought at first that it's a fake but she later admitted to the slip up, apologizing for the profanity - not the content. I'm not sure if it's comforting that she doesn't believe the lies she tells for money or if it just makes it worse.

I heard the classic line on Biden last night from Jesse Watters. "Who knew Joe Biden could lie in complete sentences?"

“The Donald Trump and MAGA [border] plan is alligator moats, bombing northern Mexico, shooting migrants in the legs, and electrifying the fence and putting spikes on them.” — Democrat rep. Robert Garcia

Are you campaigning for Trump now Mr. Garcia? If so, good sales pitch, except for the migrant leg shooting part.
