Lmao the right doesn’t think Sowell is a ‘pull up ur pants’ type.
This is hilarious because she’s projecting her insulting stereotype of conservative black intellectuals who are actually a fairly heterogenous bunch and is confused as a result.
Also ironic that one of Sowell’s… https://t.co/eknYACR8u5

CHANGE? Cornyn Now Running Third In Texas Senate Race. “If you’re a long time incumbent, you’re not supposed to be running in third place in a three man race, especially after you’ve dumped a whole lot of money into the race, yet that’s exactly the position John Cornyn finds himself in.”
It’s not a great poll, however, and comes with serious caveats.
HMM: What Young Voters Really Think About Free Speech, the Economy, and America’s Future “Young conservatives feel less comfortable sharing their political views than they did in January. Nearly two-thirds said they were comfortable expressing their opinions earlier in the year, yet that number fell to 51% in this latest survey.”
IT’S ALWAYS SOMETHING: GPU prices are coming to earth just as RAM costs shoot into the stratosphere. “It’s not a bad time to upgrade your gaming PC. Graphics card prices in the 2020s have undulated continuously as the industry has dealt with pandemic and AI-related shortages, but it’s actually possible to get respectable mainstream- to high-end GPUs like AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT and 9070 series or Nvidia’s RTX 5060, 5070, and 5080 series for at or slightly under their suggested retail prices right now. This was close to impossible through the spring and summer. But it’s not a good time to build a new PC or swap your older motherboard out for a new one that needs DDR5 RAM.”

Harmeet Dhillon added, “Interesting.”
JUSTICE: DOJ cracks down on healthcare fraud in Michigan, charging three people who stole $20 million total. “The DOJ has recently focused on instances of healthcare fraud in Michigan that resulted in tens of millions of dollars stolen from Medicare, Medicaid, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan. In addition to the recent cases resulting in years-long prison sentences, another case from over a decade ago just ended with the denaturalization of a woman from Venezuela who defrauded more than $5.4 million from Medicare while in Detroit.”
ERIC FLORACK: More on the Sedition Six. “The six were carefully selected, as was the wording of the message, in an attempt to both add credibility to the message and minimize repercussions from it. If Taibbi is correct, and I do not doubt it, this operation, this setup, involved far more than just the six in the video.”
PRIORITIES: Facebook gave child porn traffickers a free pass—misgendering caught an immediate ban. “On Instagram or Facebook, misgendering a trans person resulted in an immediate ban, but trafficking child prostitution allowed 17 strikes!”
BLUE ON BLUE: ‘Guerilla’ liberals form a ‘Fight Club’ to oust Schumer after walking right into Trump’s Oval Office trap.
The ‘club’ has already begun scheming against Schumer, sources said. The mutiny comes to light following an Oval Office meeting that insiders called an ingenious plot by President Donald Trump.
Trump’s surprisingly cozy one-on-one with with the Big Apple’s mayor-elect last week was dramatically warmer than many had expected given the months of hostilities.
But a veteran GOP operative who witnessed the spectacle unfold said the meeting was a political grenade lobbed directly into Democratic ranks.
‘To be honest, I think this pours gasoline on the internal war within the Dems,’ the source told The Hill’s Julia Manchester. ‘Further forces Dems to fully embrace Mamdani and his agenda.’
The ‘political grenade’ may have already exploded, as the ‘guerrilla group’ is now planning to challenge Schumer during primaries for the 2026 midterms, particularly in Maine, Michigan and Minnesota.
‘I can think of no historical example that would compare to this level of internal caucus fear and dissension,’ Josh Orton, a Democratic strategist, told The New York Times.
The first rule of Progressive Fight Club is to leak endlessly about Progressive Fight Club.
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO SHOW UP: The Left’s Family Problem: Marriage And Kids Cratering Among Liberal Young Adults. “Just as conservatives are marrying at higher rates, they are also more likely to have children during young adulthood. Indeed, we don’t see a large decline in the share of conservatives ages 25 to 35 who are parents from the 1990s to the present.”
Conservatives have been more likely to embrace a “family first” mindset that puts a premium on marriage and childbearing. The most recent prominent apostle on the Right for family was the late Charlie Kirk, who said that “Having a family will change your life in the best ways, so get married and have kids. You won’t regret it.” The recently assassinated founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) also told young adults that embracing “careerism and consumerism” at the expense of starting a family in your 20s is a big mistake. “Having children is more important than having a good career … my kids matter more than how many social media followers I have,” Kirk said on Fox News, just two days before he was killed.
This message isn’t just coming from TPUSA: many of the most popular podcast hosts and influencers on the Right—from Ben Shapiro and Allie Beth Stuckey to Matt Walsh and Brett Cooper—regularly deliver messages to their audiences celebrating the joys of marriage and parenthood. Meanwhile, rising stars in the broader conservative firmament, from Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary to the billionaire Lucky Palmer, are confessing that they wish they had married their wives earlier. And a growing crop of twentysomething conservative female influencers like Riley Gaines and Isabel Brown can be found celebrating young marriage and motherhood. “There’s nothing that could’ve prepared me for a love like this. God has blessed us beyond belief. Welcome to the world, sweet Margot,” Gaines recently wrote, after giving birth to her first child.
The bigger point is that the new media on the Right is building a family-first “plausibility structure” that now competes with the Left’s less-than-family-friendly messaging in the mainstream media, the Ivory Tower, and online.
And the occasional complaint about the cost of insuring a teenage boy to drive aside, the part that gets left out too often is that raising kids is a blast.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Bill Maher Needs to Swallow the Red Pill, Already. “He has moments of clarity that provide some fantastic fodder for people who are worn out by leftist lunacy in the media. It’s nothing entirely new for Maher. He’s been running afoul of the Democrats’ false narrative doctrine on Islam and terrorism for a long time.”

MAKE AFFORDABLE CARS AGAIN: Senate Committee to Challenge Auto-Safety Mandates That Hurt ‘Affordability.’
Senate Republicans in January plan to criticize requirements for safety technology, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms to remind drivers that a child is in the back seat, arguing they are ineffective and will unnecessarily drive up the cost of cars, according to people familiar with the situation.
They aim to head off future requirements touted by safety advocates and argue instead for advancing autonomous vehicle technology.
Chief executives of Detroit’s three automakers and a senior Tesla executive have been summoned to appear at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation—set for Jan. 14—to explain why vehicles have become so expensive. General Motors and Ford Motor are weighing whether to send their CEOs to the hearing, spokespeople said; Jeep-maker Stellantis declined to comment.
Sticker shock is hitting car buyers as the U.S. broadly faces what many consider to be a growing affordability crisis. The average price of a new vehicle hit $50,000 this fall, up from closer to $38,000 before the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, all facets of car ownership—from repairs to loans to insurance—have become costlier.
