THIS IS A TEENAGER’S DEFINITION OF INDEPENDENCE. “I’M INDEPENDENT, NOW WHERE’S MY ALLOWANCE?”
Apparently the word “independent” means something different in Australia than it does everywhere else.

GASSY LASSIE: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says We Need a ‘Democratic Party That Farts’ Harder.
Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York ripped Republican Gabe Evans for not doing a town hall in Colorado. While speaking at a political rally in his state she said the Democrat Party needs to start ripping, too – ripping farts and doing so as hard as possible. No, really. She just let it slip out.
Hear it for yourself. (WATCH)

But don’t worry, hard-working Tesla people. There are Democrats trying to wreck the value of your stock.
This was my favorite speaker, the independent journalist and hacker who tells us the entire point of these organized protests are to tank Tesla stock.

RUY TEIXEIRA: How Deep Is the Hole Democrats Are In? Pretty deep. “On the plus side, voters in a February Navigator Research poll across the battleground Congressional districts thought Democrats in Congress “fight for what they believe.” However, they also thought Democrats don’t respect work, don’t share my values, don’t look out for working people, don’t value work, don’t care about people like me, don’t have the right priorities and, by a massive 47 points, don’t get things done. Double ouch.”
Oh, yeah, they fight for what they believe all right. The problem is what they believe.
UPDATE:
Democrats now have a 27% approval rating and their new strategy is domestic terrorism.
In case you’re wondering why their anti-American party is circling the drain.

DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE THE ONLY STANDARDS THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS LEFT. Double Standards for Jew-Haters? “Because the DOJ under Merrick Garland had identified ‘racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists’ as the No. 1 terrorism threat in America, and because this one crazy Jew-hater in Richmond happened to be associated with a Catholic group, a shadow of terrorist suspicion was cast on all conservative Catholics by the FBI. ‘Henrico man sentenced to over eight years in prison for illegally possessing Molotov cocktails’ was the headline on a DOJ press release last month bringing an end to the Xavier Lopez case, and not a single Democrat has filed a lawsuit or issued a press release opposing the prosecution of Lopez. Why, then, are we hearing so much noise about the Trump administration’s crackdown on Jew-haters?”
Because the left defends its tools, and persecutes its enemies.

A FRIEND OF GLENN’S WRITES: “The Financial Times appears to have come out against free speech.”
Here’s a bit from FT’s “The real history of free speech — from supreme ideal to poisonous politics.”
So what exactly do we mean by free speech, and should there be any limits on it? In democracies, we celebrate free expression for good and hard-won reasons. Liberty of conscience is superior to enforced theocracy. The right to voice opinions without being persecuted is a hallmark of free societies as opposed to autocracies; so is the creation of challenging art and literature. Whatever your truths, freedom of expression is a valuable and inspiring ideal.
But that doesn’t mean its principles are obvious or absolute. We often assume they must have been clearly established by great thinkers of the past, from Milton to James Madison to George Orwell, and that it’s only in the present that we’ve lost our way. But the real history of free speech is far more interesting — and it illuminates our current predicaments in surprisingly direct ways.
Weird how “free speech” only became a problem when DOGE began disassembling the multibillion-dollar government apparatus that promoted the speech of one side, and not during (and just before) the Biden administration when those same tools, aided by social media, were used to stifle dissent.
