Feel like not enough people are aware of this part of the California high-speed rail story:
With construction costs soaring and the timeline years behind schedule, California has focused on completing a more limited route than originally intended – a route that few were clamoring for, and fewer are likely to ride. cbsn.ws/3Okzqnu

I know Ryan Grim's attack is aimed at @jaketapper, but let me respond since he is referencing my post: 1) Dropsite News is absolutely terror propaganda. The site has repeatedly shared clear falsehoods and spin directly from U.S.-designated terror groups. Ex: xitter.cf/AGHamilton29/status/19… In fact, this is so apparent that even the Palestinian ambassador has called them out as “compromised” advocates for Hamas: xitter.cf/AGHamilton29/status/19… 2) There is actually a lot of “credible evidence” of rapes. Witness testimony, like the example he is dismissing, is credible evidence. There are several other witnesses. There are the video confessions from captured Hamas terrorists. There is extensive physical evidence, including many victims found naked and with broken pelvises. Even the UN experts, who are hardly pro-Israel, have concluded that “There are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence — including rape and gang-rape — occurred across multiple locations of Israel and the Gaza periphery during the attacks on 7 October 2023” You can read the UN report here: ohchr.org/sites/default/file… All while propagandist Ryan Grim says “no credible evidence” 3) His response to this specific example is full of intentional nonsense meant to cover for terrorist rapists. He claims they couldn’t have done this because IDF helicopters were bearing down on them. The attack on Nova started before 7 am. There were no helicopters near the area until over 3 hours later. We have countless videos of terrorists operating openly for hours. He also claims they could not have shot an RPG at the car because they would have been blown up, but we have over a dozen videos of the hamas terrorists shooting RPGs at cars throughout the attack. He’s calling the witness and victim a liar based on no evidence other than preferring a narrative that the terrorist murderers he supports aren’t also rapists. But they were. And the fact that he continues to deny it speaks volumes about him.
Here is a Palestinian ambassador talking about the Soros-funded pro-terror propaganda org DropSite….

This UCSD math proficiency scandal reminds me of the great financial crisis in 2008. There was an assumption then, that bundled mortgages are nearly risk-free investments. This led to banks being incentivized to underwrite more mortgages, so they started handing out "NINJA" loans (No Income, No Job / Assets). This radical shift in the distribution of who got loans caused the initial assumption to break. It's similar here: there's a base assumption that a UC diploma leads to better salaries, so the more we give to lower-income folks, we lift more young people out of poverty and that's a good thing. But if you start handing these diplomas out to larger numbers of students who can't do elementary school math, employers will notice and the base assumption will break.

This story consists of 20 paragraphs, and at no point in any of them does NBC relate that the shooter shouted “free Palestine!” before he opened fire. To find that out, I had to read the British left-wing newspaper, The Guardian. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mul…

It’s “believe all women” until a woman has beliefs they don’t align with. It’s “protect black and brown voices” until those black and brown voices challenge their beliefs. It’s “freedom of expression” until you express empathy for someone they dislike.

Hello, world. Something to show you. A teaser trailer for The Rash, a script I wrote this year for Onset Creative & Nicole Shanahan. The feature film is now in the financing phase. Interested investors may contact me by X DM for more info. Enjoy. I think you'll get the picture.

I’m not quite as negative as Molson, but he makes some good arguments and his point #13 reflects a lot of my key concerns about how the tariffs could be done better.

This is 70% of science. Remember I dismantled this paper on my podcast years ago. Researchers are manipulating their data all the time to claim discovery or to reach convenient 'truths' No University has ever used NIH grants to audit their own research. They don't care.
Notable reporting from Emily Kopp. A study purported to show that mortality is higher for black infants seen by white doctors. By now, the issues with this study are widely known. FOIAed notes show how the authors in fact cut points that they said "undermined the narrative."

BILL MAHER DISCUSSES NY TIMES GASLIGHTING US @sullydish: "The core paper that killed off any idea that this was a lab leak in China, the Proximal Origins paper, which was produced with Fauci and Collins, the NIH and NIAID helping it along, was a lie. A conscious lie."

A miracle has happened. The NY Times ran an oped acknowledging not only that the covid virus likely originated in a lab, but that government officials and scientists conspired to keep the substantiating evidence secret. The lab leak theory was censored on social media because of "pressure from the administration ... we shouldn't have done it."

BLM = Buy Luxury Mansions, funded by dead black people. He’s right. It’s good to see rappers becoming more aware of the scam called BLM that never cared about black lives.
Rapper Lil Yachty says Black Lives Matter was a scam during a cooking show with Quenlin Blackwell. Blackwell: "How much have you spent on charitable causes this year... BLM?" Yachty: "BLM is a scam... BLM was literally a scam. They had bought mansions." Fact check: True. Black Lives Matter was accused of mismanaging donations, including how they purchased a $6 million, 6,500-square-foot compound with donated money.

Fauci violated federal policy & routed money to Wuhan through ecohealth then when the pandemic hit, he panicked recommended closing schools, lockdowns and masking toddlers tried to silence dissent ran zero rcts on npis pushed remdesivir hid his emails buddied up to Ds for pardon
For anyone who was cancelled during covid — and yes I mean really cancelled … bullied, threatened, lost friends and family and jobs — this is infuriating. I recommend not reading this if you were an early covid dissenter. You won’t be able to contain your anger.

Complete agree. In 2021 I wrote that children shouldn't wear cloth masks in the Atlantic magazine, and many people wanted me to be fired. The pendulum will swing so hard on this stupidity, it will hit you in the face.
It took five years from the initiation of covid lockdown for this to appear in the Boston Globe. Now that the dam has finally broken, in another 5 years, I expect that Dr. Fauci will be as popular as bubonic plague. Time to go short on Fauci bobbleheads... archive.ph/GFxWf

Back in mid-2021, I wrote a Subst6ck keeping track of all the ways the NYT in particular stigmatized the lab leak theory during the period Feb 2020 through March 2021. Link in next post, and also this 🧵will screenshot the main examples the stack discusses.
