TRUE:

For many liberal Christians loving their neighbor means spitting on their current neighbor and replacing them with one that the New York Times would find more fashionable

FLASHBACK: The Conservative School-To-Pundit Pipeline Is Bad for the Right. “If liberals love to talk about the school-to-prison pipeline that affects too many black kids, conservatives would have their own worries about the school-to-punditry pipeline that makes right-wing commentators soft, wonky, unfeeling and self-righteous.”

AWFLS ARE AWFUL: The rise of the Keffiyeh Karen.

There is the person I like to call the Keffiyeh Karen — the female student with a bare midriff and her head wrapped in the black or red and white patterning of Palestinian liberation, yelling anti-Zionist slogans with manic passion on elite college campus quadrangles and lawns.

In her ready and confident fury, her rudeness, her iron-fisted appetite for confrontation over infractions of what she deems political and moral gospel, the Keffiyeh Karen is related to a broader epidemic of the Gen Z Mean Girl. These Mean Girls have graduated from running the schoolyard to terrorizing the workplace. If there is one type to be afraid of in modern offices, it isn’t the lech or the shouty, hungover male middle manager. It’s the twenty-three-year-old gluten-free vegan graduate, wet behind the ears. We know what these misanthropic misses are capable of — we’ve seen the Phoebes and Annas of Just Stop Oil chuck soup on Van Gogh.

Several good friends of mine who work in corporate settings have told me tales to chill the blood — women in their early twenties conducting bullying campaigns, being proudly insubordinate to their bosses. They never face consequences.

Well, obviously they need to.

MATT TAIBBI: House Committee Rips State Department Over Censorship: The House Committee on Small Business prints a blistering report on the Global Engagement Center, a State Department “counter-messaging” entity at the center of the Twitter Files.

MATT TAIBBI: “Six weeks before the lancing of the boil that is the Trump-Harris election, officialdom has never been antsier. There’s desperation up there and the more bureaucratically thuggish tactics employed by agencies like GEC have not scratched their itch of uncertainty. Arbitrary removals of content aren’t cutting it. New overreaches are coming, but what? Our goons aren’t Russian enough to smash people with hammers, but as the earlier story today shows, they aren’t sane either. I’m not intimidated, but the days of smooth sailing might be over.”

THIS. IS. CNN.

Host Wood, passed over for “The Daily Show’s” hosting gig earlier this year, asked the panel, “What was the fake name of the head of the Taliban that Donald Trump cited during the debate.”

The answer? Abdul.

“He picked the most obvious name to make up for the head of the Taliban,” Black cracked as his fellow panelists cackled in glee. The show’s official X account pushed the clip out, secure in its comedy mileage and accuracy.

Except they got it wrong.

Trump actually negotiated with Taliban official Abdul Ghani Baradar during his presidency.

Morons who think they’re smart. Ignoramuses who think they know things. That’s our ruling class in a nutshell.
