Glenn reviewed Nikki Haley's sudden riches back in August:

Nikki Haley was outraged by Vivek Ramaswamy's suggestion that she was owned by corporate interests.

But after her stint in the Trump Administration, Haley's strained financial situation suddenly turned around—amassing a small fortune from the likes of Boeing & Barclays.

She doesn't seem to be doing too well after he torched her again tonight.

Vivek’s dominating performance in the debates show the GOP base is NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER with the neocons.

Unfortunately, everyone who advocated for that position was mocked, banished, fired, suppressed, and cancelled by the people whining about being cancelled now. I love Glenn, but he's foolishly taking up the cause of Michael Eisen, detailed in The Atlantic:

Glenn Greenwald

Just a reminder of some of the insanity that has emerged in the United States over this attack on Israel regarding restricting free discourse, and how it rivals and often surpasses some of the worst repressive measure imposed after 9/11 and the George Floyd killing:

Let's look up what Michael Eisen had to say last year:

And what's he saying now?

Michael Eisen

That's a fair critique. I think it's clear that what was once a good thing - the ability for individuals to speak out about abuses of power has been transformed into something terrifying - mobs that overrun institutional checks and balances.

"What was once a good thing." He's still in favor of people being silenced - just not when it happens to him.

Michael Eisen set the fire, and he's still stoking it - from the inside. I'll defend Glenn, because he's been consistent and principled. I might defend some of the vanishingly few leftists who can say the same, if I happen to be in a good enough mood to bother to verify their story.

Finger-wagging Dem voter loses it on GOP poll worker in curse-laden rant

Of course, the most predictable part of this amusing little story:

The Democrat voter then approached a bystander and advised him not to be "buddy, buddy with these people because they put on a face of a good neighbor" before accusing Hurtt of being racist, supporting lynching and being "f---ing Bible-beating bigots and freaks."

"And they're not good neighbors," the man said as he finally walked away from the scene toward his Toyota Prius.

More on this incident from the Washington Examiner:

"You want to take the little scraps of resources we have and put us at the bottom of the barrel? That’s not fair!" one Chicago woman said at a meeting about city plans to turn a neighborhood field house into an immigrant shelter. "A lot of these young boys, they don’t have fathers, so a lot of these coaches, they are their fathers. They spend part of their weekend here along with during the week, that keeps them in a safe place, it gives them mentorship, it shows them discipline."

Chicago’s black residents are not the only ones unhappy with Biden’s open-border policies. As John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira note, Hispanics along the border in Texas are tired of Biden’s policies, too. “According to a survey by Equis Research, 61% of Hispanics in South Texas wanted spending on border security boosted and 58% wanted the number of asylum seekers limited — higher than the national average on both issues. In other words, significant numbers of Hispanics favored policies that they thought would reduce illegal immigration. The Democrats were out of step with the people they assumed were their loyal base.”

When Javier Ortiz came home from a secret mission in Syria, the ghost of a dead girl appeared to him in his kitchen. She was pale and covered in chalky dust, as if hit by an explosion, and her eyes stared at him with a glare as dark and heavy as oil.

The 21-year-old Marine was part of an artillery gun crew that fought against the Islamic State, and he knew that his unit’s huge cannons had killed hundreds of enemy fighters. The ghost, he was sure, was their revenge.

A shiver went through him. He backed into another room in his apartment near Camp Pendleton in California and flicked on the lights, certain that he was imagining things. She was still there.

A few days later, in the barracks not far away, a 22-year-old Marine named Austin Powell pounded on his neighbor’s door in tears and stammered: “There’s something in my room! I’m hearing something in my room!”

Heating up: a Hispanic alderman just resigned from key roles after physically blocking a black alderwoman from voting.

A recent address given to the city council by local black activist Zoey Lee is typical of the resentment building between Hispanic and black people of the Windy City.

In her exasperated address, Lee spoke about how Hispanics — both residents and illegals — are getting preferential treatment, all at the expense of black residents.

“What’s the point of being an alderperson if y’all aren’t going to be for the community,” Lee asked the black leaders gathered before her.

She warned that Chicago was devolving into a “race war” between the black and Hispanic communities.

That, explained Biden, means more American jobs and a stronger American economy.

So “Project Ukraine” is not really about foreign welfare, but rather domestic corporate welfare for the military-industrial complex. Should that make us feel any better?

Every shooter’s manifesto should be public.

There is absolutely no reason to hide this.

Unless of course our government wants to hide the fact that these shooters are on SSRIs and usually brainwashed by leftist’s propaganda.

Case in point

Vivek Ramaswamy

It’s downright offensive that federal & local police tried to suppress the release of this manifesto. Ordinarily they release it within 48 hours.

Our justice system is politicized to its core & it will take a true outsider to fix this.

Vivek Ramaswamy

We can handle the TRUTH. I went to Nashville in August to demand that the Governor, the Nashville Police and the FBI release the trans shooter’s manifesto. Be honest with the public - not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hard. Get to the root cause: the mental health epidemic. The path to truth runs through transparency.

Kari Lake

A transgender shooter killed kids simply because they were white & Christian.

This type of identity-based hatred is propagated by the radical left & spread by the media daily.

It's an awful consequence of indoctrinating children instead of educating them.

It needs to end.

Joe Kent for WA-3

They will hide what drugs the shooter was prescribed twice as hard as they hid the manifesto.

Big pharma doesn’t know or care what the combo of puberty blockers, testosterone, estrogen & SSRIs do to ppl, to them it’s a profit machine under the guise of tolerance & compassion.

Michael Seifert

A deranged trans shooter killed six people because she thought they had "white privilege" and the government fought in the court to keep this information hidden because they want to keep the “white supremacists are the biggest terror threat to America” narrative going. Evil.

Chloe Cole ⭐️

A lot of people are immediately dismissing this as fake because Hale uses slurs that describes herself…

It’s obviously not confirmed but this is how I would expect this individual to write.

When I was transitioning, I hated myself and would often use words that were self-loathing. This is extremely common amongst young LGBT identified individuals.

In fact, many in the community would use these slurs against me during my detransition and still do.

Mayor Johnson (much touted, celebrated, and excused by the Due Dissidence guys) seems to be facing a growing rebellion among aldermen besieged by furious constituents.

And, uncomfortable as it may be for this city to admit, this plays right into the political instincts of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others who figured “sanctuary cities” might be less than enthusiastic when forced to confront the kinds of numbers familiar to communities nearer the border. We dislike what Abbott chose to do with human beings in need, but he calculated what would happen and it is pretty much coming true.

Mayor Johnson... is going to have to abandon his typical platitudes about Chicago’s welcoming spirit and face up to the reality that migrant shelters do impact the quality of life of those around them.

...

Johnson still needs to use whatever influence he has to get the state, the feds and, yes, the county more involved. After all, temporary medical facilities were stood up fast in Chicago during the COVID crisis.

Arguing about the sanctuary city issue doesn’t change the short-term problem.

And solving the short-term problem (which won't happen) doesn't change the long-term problem: that liberals have no limiting principles. Billions of "human beings in need" exist all over the planet. How many should American taxpayers allow in, and treat, feed, clothe, educate, and house? For how long? What's the number?

In case the Chicago Tribune didn't notice, "the COVID crisis" did one hell of a number on actual Americans - you know, the people whose interests the government is supposed to be serving, as distinguished from "human beings" generally - and the key word in "temporary medical facilities" is temporary. "Human beings in need" will be in need longer than that. And since liberals will never countenance enforcing immigration laws, more "human beings in need" will arrive tomorrow. And more the day after that.

What's the number? 500 million? One billion? Two? More?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

God bless you Tucker!

I was pilloried for bringing my message about Assange on Tucker Carlson’s show, but I’m so very glad I did anyway:

Tucker Carlson and Stella Assange are visiting Julian this morning. I can’t wait to hear what Tucker says about it. This is a pretty historic event as few journalists have been allowed inside for a visit.

Comrade Misty is Putin’s Buddy 🍀🚂

Tucker’s visit to Belmarsh has Assange trending. Keep it going. #FreeAssange

Juanita Broaddrick

WOW!!!! Can’t wait to see this episode.

Lara Logan

Well done.

Dr. Michael Rectenwald

He’s locked up for reporting on war crimes. It’s time to #FreeAssange

Tucker Carlson went to Belmarsh prison to meet Julian Assange!!

In a healthy society, Assange's revelations could have saved many lives, but unfortunately, journalism has become a crime in the real sense, and someone like Assange is still imprisoned.

It’s not always presidential candidates who do this. In the 2020 cycle, for example, 81 federal candidates spent $1.3 million in wages for those who shared their last names, mostly family. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) dwarfed the rest of the field by shoveling almost $200,000 to members of her family in that cycle. Over the past 20 years, Waters’ campaigns have paid more than $1.2 million to her daughter. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has paid about $3 million to her husband’s consulting firm. Overall, Omar spent about half of her 2020 campaign expenditures on her husband’s company. The family of Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) has taken in more than $200,000 from his various campaigns.

Just last month, a four-time congressional candidate was federally charged for allegedly transferring campaign funds to personal accounts and paying relatives.

The wind industry says it isn't killing whales, but it is. New boat traffic is colliding with whales. And high-decibel sonar is separating whale mothers from their calves, sending them into harm's way. Our new documentary, which lays out the evidence, is now free to watch.

The mainstream news media is lying about this. Why? Because the wind industry paid them millions of dollars to.

The politicians are lying about this. Why? Because the wind industry paid them to

The environmentalists are lying about this. Why? Because the wind industry paid them to.

Details.

This was the rare question in which political affiliation didn’t make too much of a difference. While 34% of Democrats said NATO raises the chance of war, that response wasn’t too far below the Republicans (44%) or independents (38%).

...

The final question involved finances: “The U.S. contributes over two-thirds of NATO’s budget, with European members contributing the remaining one-third.” Respondents were again asked which of four possible answers most matched their opinion about the U.S.’ spending: “Too high” received 64%, “Too low” just 3%, “Just right” 15%, and “not sure” 18%.

Absolute majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents on that last one: 54% to 74%.

In the context of American politics, "far left" means idpol capitalists. The "actual left" is too schizophrenic, disorganized, and inconsequential for anyone to care about.

Musk went on to explain that “one of the things [Soros] noticed was that the value for money in local races is much higher than it is in national races.”

“The lowest value for money is a presidential race. Then the next lowest value for money is a senate race, then a congress, but once you get to city and state district attorneys, the value for money is extremely good,” Musk said.

“And Soros realized you don’t need to actually change the laws, you just need to change how they’re enforced,” he added. “If nobody chooses to enforce the laws, or if the laws are differentially enforced, it’s like changing the laws. That’s what he figured out.”

“I’ve had elected officials tell me that the women are just trying work – ‘why are you trying to harm them?’ – [but] there are real issues around illegal sex work, from STDs to sex trafficking girls to violence,” [NYC Mayor Eric Adams] said.

What this misogynistic bigot obviously fails to understand is that sex work is real work and no person is illegal. He should be celebrating the stunning and brave decisions of these womxn instead of trying to slutshame and concern-troll them. Wouldn't you be proud if your daughter were liberated enough to become a prostitute, free of the shackles of ancient sky-fairy myths? It sounds like this repressive male chauvinist pig Eric Adams may not.

Commentary from AntiWar.com, reprinted at ZeroHedge

Time Magazine's Stunning Reversal: Zelensky 'Deludes' Himself Into Thinking Ukraine Can Win

One of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s closest aides has told Time Magazine that the Ukrainian leader has deluded himself into thinking Ukraine can win an ultimate victory against Russia after the failed counteroffensive and amid waning support for the conflict in the West.

The report said that despite the setbacks, Zelensky "does not intend to give up fighting or to sue for any kind of peace. On the contrary, his belief in Ukraine’s ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers. It is immovable, verging on the messianic."

Medical organizations are supposed to transcend politics in favor of upholding standards that protect patients. However, in the U.S. these groups—including the American Academy of Pediatrics—have been actively hostile to the message my colleagues and I are urging.

I attempted to address the rising international concerns about pediatric gender transition at this year’s annual conference of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. But the two proposed panels were rejected by the academy. This is highly disturbing. Science does not progress through silencing. Doctors who refuse to consider evidence presented by critics are putting patient safety at risk.

Sounds familiar.

TLR, one of the most influential PACs in Texas, became a utility infielder for the state’s flourishing business community. TLR supports both Democrat and Republican candidates, so long as they hew to TLR’s evolving agenda. Woke corporate America, however, increasingly favors leftist policies. The chamber of commerce, once a Republican mainstay, is now often aligned against conservatives.

...

The Trump-inspired animus of establishment “moderates” (or RINOs) toward conservatives is stronger than ever, the woke business community is hostile to the grassroots, and tort reform groups — once a reliable Republican bulwark — are now mercenaries pursuing their own path to power.

Tucker interviewed Ken Paxton in September, just after his acquittal.
