PERHAPS THESE “SOURCES” ARE NOT AS USEFUL AS YOU THINK:

In which Matt Yglesias admits he was incapable of assessing and investigating Biden’s condition on his own and needed “insiders” to feed him talking points so he could function as a “journalist.”

Maybe because they’re playing you.

I’VE HEARD THESE STORIES FROM PEOPLE IN SILICON VALLEY FOR YEARS:

If you're wondering why people are angry, try going through dozens of these fake interviews. Spending hrs preparing for each one just to not get a call back. Thats if the interviewer even has the decency to show.

They have no idea whats bubbling under the surface in this country

Shooting people who are in the process of committing violent crimes isn’t socially “dangerous.” It’s socially virtuous.

I’VE BEEN CONVINCED FOR A WHILE NOW:

How much more convincing do we need to demonstrate that our military is not a trained and ready force for WAR?

Our U.S. Navy has “insufficient gender experts?”

I’ll tell you what, how about ensuring our ships don’t crash into each other at sea or not shooting our own damn… https://t.co/SNsUOkHOUC

HIGHER ED REFORMS TO CHEER FOR IN 2025. I do a lot of Title IX stuff and I didn’t know that the Biden admin was planning to apply Title IX to name, image, and likeness money for college athletes. (The suggested reform is stopping that, BTW.) Putting access to those billions in the hands of the Title IX apparatus is a nightmare scenario.

BIDENESQUE: Moscow finds another way to replenish troops, UK intelligence.

The Russian authorities have decided to write off loans for those willing to sign a contract. The Russian army will be replenished at the expense of bank debtors, the UK Ministry of Defense informs.

According to the report, at the end of November 2024, Russia passed a law allowing military personnel who joined the armed forces after December 1, 2024, to have their loan debts written off. The debt write-off will cover loans of up to 10 million rubles (approximately $100,000) and will also apply to spouses.

This measure will supplement the existing loan holiday program for Russian military personnel. The independent Russian media organization Mediazona reports that 411,000 repayment holidays have been arranged for mortgages and personal loans since October 2022.

I hope Russians are ready for an even worse bout of inflation.
