A female pastor, Instagram influencer (1.1m followers) and right-wing Congressional candidate in Brazil claimed that a furniture delivery man recognized her and physically attacked her due to her politics. She filmed herself crying and pointing to bruises and saying he should be arrested for physically assaulting her. But she was unaware that it was all videotaped. The now-released video showed that she lied about everything. She tried to beat the shit out of the worker, even throwing stones at him, because he couldn't carry her couch up alone, while he did everything possible to avoid even defending himself let alone fighting back. She was then forced to apologize in a weepy video, claiming she has PTSD and that "blinded" her. Good reminder for why evidence should be needed before anyone's accusations are believed.

Not sure if Americans realize how much of the worst discourse tactics end up globally imported due to social media connectivity. In Brazil, Lula's wife is facing criticisms for spending lavish sums on foreign travel to luxurious places. She claimed the criticisms are all due to "pure misogyny" -- at exactly the same time that a center-left AOC clone named Tabata Amaral is pushing a censorship bill to "criminalize misogyny." That would make it a crime to question the First Lady's travel expenses or that Congresswoman's views (since they always claims it's due to misogyny). Here was a debate on Brazil's Globo News network about why Kamala struggled to win over black voters. One of the network's extremely affluent commentators, sandra coutinho, argued that it was all due to sexism, and when a fellow male commentator on the panel disagreed with her, she accused him of "mansplaining": all copied and imported from the bowels of the lowest-level American social justice lexicon:👇

I get that tennis wants to experiment and UTS is for that, but I really don’t understand what this circus is.

There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards. It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions. It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:

It became obligatory in left-Dem politics to call what Israel did a "genocide." Many who clearly don't really believe that complied. AOC is an example. The point of "genocide" is that it's the worst crime against humanity. Yet she endorses Hakeem Jeffries: one of the House's most stalwart Israel loyalists who financed, armed and defended genocide. Nobody who actually believes it's a "genocide" would work to empower those who perpetrated it:

Every war of aggression is justified in the name of benevolence or helping people or whatever. It'd be one thing to fall for this if (as in most countries) war were rare. But Americans have repeatedly seen the proof for decades (from the Buckley/Chomsky 1966 debate on Vietnam):

One of the most bizarre aspects of the Platner spectacle has been how conservatives have jumped fully onboard the #BelieveWomen and #MeToo train -- not ironically or satirically but earnestly. It's both dumb and self-destructive for the reasons Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ explains well:

Corporate media goons like @JakeTapper insist they never bolstered the Steele Dossier, never pushed Trump/Russia conspiracies, never said Hunter Biden docs were "Russian disinformation." Everyone knows they're lying. Just admit you did it and apologize:

It's hard to pick one incident as "peak woke," but a leading candidate: At the U of Washington, adult Jewish students wept and begged for a peaceful pro-Palestinian rally to be stopped, and Fox's Hannity demanded all colleges ban such protests because it creates discomfort:

With Tulsi Gabbard's new revelations about US bio labs in many countries around the world including Ukraine, it's fascinating recall the bizarre series of events that gave rise to this controversy in the first place: In May of 2022, some of us began asking whether the US had bio labs in Ukraine, what they were for, and why the US had them there. For asking those questions, we were instantly branded as "pro-Russian conspiracy theorists" in official Ukrainian intel reports, on our Wikipedia pages, by countless media outlets, etc. This was and remains one of the most bizarre episodes I've ever seen. Before May 2022, when we asked those questions, barely anyone had ever thought about let alone asked about "bio weapons in Ukraine"! I certainly hadn't. Like most people, I had never mentioned a word about it because it had never occurred to me we had them there. But then, Marco Rubio summoned Victoria Nuland to the Senate and asked her in a televised hearing under oath about these "rumors," clearly expecting her to immediately debunk them as obvious Kremlin lies and to proclaim the US had no such bio labs in Ukraine. Instead, Nuland did the opposite! She *confirmed* key aspects of these "rumors," and she explicitly warned that the US has several "bio research labs" in Ukraine that are so dangerous that they must not be allowed to fall into Russia's hands. When some of us heard Nuland's rather shocking admission -- the first-ever disclosure about these labs -- we of course asked: wait! what? Why does the US have bio labs in Ukraine, and what are the US and Ukraine doing in those labs that make them (in Nuland's eyes) so dangerous?? (Note: nobody ever suggested that the presence of these bio labs in Ukraine justified the Russian invasion; we just wanted answers about these US bio labs that Nuland had casually divulged). We never got real answers. We got smear campaigns. To this day, our names are formally attached to claims that we spread "conspiracy theories" for asking about these labs even though it was Victoria Nuland herself who was the one who accidentally revealed them for the first time in a Senate hearing in response to a shocked Marco Rubio. They then quickly tried shutting down any questioning by pretending that Nuland never said this, and it was just a bunch of paid Kremlin mouthpieces who were spreading lies. You see the same tactics now being against Tulsi for releasing this new intelligence report. Watch the Nuland testimony in question:

Polls are showing for the first time in years a reversal of GOP support for gay and lesbian rights, including same-sex marriage (see NYT polling below from yesterday). I spoke to Emily Jashinsky about why this is, including the popular theory that it's due to trans advocacy:

The incessant use of the victim card by billionaire heir Rep. Dan Goldman has been declined, as is the broader narrative that the explosion of Israel opposition has generated an epidemic of anti-Semitism rendering Jews the most vulnerable marginalized group:

I asked former IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus, on Piers Morgan's show today, if it's true that Israel builds its most critical military command centers within and below residential and civilian buildings in Tel Aviv: using civilians as human shields. Listen to his candid answer:

People keep repeating that Nithya Raman conceded on election night, weeping as she did so, to prove even she knew she lost (and thus only fraud saved her). When and where did she concede?? She cried briefly when addressing her 10-year-old twins. Quote her concession:👇👇

One has to be morally deranged - or totally ignorant of the grim realities of kids lingering without parents in orphanages, shelters and foster care, only to be expelled at 18 with no support - to believe that that dark hell is better for kids than being adopted by gay couples:
