SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED. BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:   U.S. Spy Agencies Had Ties to Wuhan Scientists Years before 2020 Covid Pandemic Began.

ALL OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE ROTTEN:  Corporations, politicians, media, churches, science, academia, sports, and entertainment all align with the progressive decades-long project to dismantle the family as social bedrock.

Build under, build over, build around.What can’t continue won’t. And we still need some of it.

WE’VE BEEN FOUNDING THE LEFT:  Lies, Damn Lies, and USAID Lies.

MAKE IT SO:  Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy To ‘Loon Wing’ Dems: Stop Shuttering Government Or Lose Your Paycheck.

OH, THAT IS INTERESTING, INNIT?   House Democrat exchanged texts with Epstein on how to hurt Trump during 2019 congressional hearing: docs.

SO ABOUT THAT H1B SYSTEM:   I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.  I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I’m now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

AND YOU HAVE MORE MEMORY THAN A GOLDFISH:   UBI is Feeding the Goldfish in the Aquarium.

GOOD:  It’s official: Members of Congress won’t get a pay bump this year.

MEMES ARE THE ONLY THING PROVEN TO BRING MORE JOY WHEN REDISTRIBUTED:   There is No World. There is Only Memes.

AS HEINLEIN SAID, THERE’S NOTHING SO EXPENSIVE AS A SECOND-RATE MILITARY – AND DRONES ARE MAKING MORE MILITARIES OBSOLETE THAN ANYTHING SINCE THE INVENTION OF GUNPOWDER:  After the armoured vehicle fiasco, a dud cannon to waste our billions on.

TRUE GENIUS THESE DAYS CONSISTS OF TELLING THE POWERS THAT BE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR:  James Watson and the cancellation of genius.

BAH. IT’S ALL IN THE BLUE FRAUD ZONE:  Schlossberg: Camelot Nepo Baby’s Ticket To Ride.

DISPATCHES FROM THE MADHOUSE:   A word from Tucker Carlson.

THE BRITISH DO SMUG WELL, AND HAVE FOR  OVER 250 YEARS.:   How smug Nick Robinson led the BBC’s brazen defence of its own mendacity.

OH, CHILLUNS. IT WAS ALL PALLYWOOD:  If Gaza’s famine was real, how come it went away so fast?

MANY SUCH CASES, TOO:  BREAKING: The official X account of the Democrat Party has DELETED their post claiming President Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017 He was literally the President, dumbasses. You don’t think someone would’ve noticed?! Trump should BANKRUPT the DNC for this.

THE DAYS OF MICROSOFT — THE DAYS OF ALL THE GIANTS — ARE PASSING: I’m going to connect two dots that have been active conversation topics on X recently. One is Microsoft corporate blather about Windows turning into an “agentic” OS stuffed with AI; the other is increasing hype around the Steam Machine from Valve. Reaction to the Microsoft trial balloon has been, to put it mildly, negative. People hear AI from Microsoft and think “Oh great – superintelligence to spam me with yet more ads and spyware.” (Think Clippy with vampire fangs.) Slightly more sophisticated users worry about prompt injection. As they should.

It’s like watching the dinosaurs die after the asteroid, with no idea what hit them.

Oh, yeah, and a link for the X-communicated.
