basically 2 not so brilliant ideas

  1. divide up pages by time

  2. keep several expensive leather notebooks

  3. is useful if you are under time constraints

  4. seems like an obsession with notebooks for their own sake

I agree with Horowitz. Censoring books and literary characters to suit modern sensibilities is very like Winston Smith's job in 1984. It gives a false sense of history. We're free to read or not read them.

My heart aches for the children who will no longer have access to their local library because some arrogant assholes decided to be offended by books with new ideas and different perspectives.

The cruelty is the point.

Simon Rosenberg tells Greg Sargent why he's cautiously optimistic about Biden's chances this fall. Trump has working against him the following:

  1. He raped E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room.

  2. He oversaw one of the largest frauds in America history and that he and Rudy Giuliani through all their various misdeeds own over $700M dollars.

The Lutz report was written by expert Republican pollster and political strategist Dr Frank Luntz, in 2009, to help the Israeli government, and its supporters, like AIPAC and the ADL, to sway public opinion toward Israel. One of the most fundamental rules of the playbook is to always spin every conflict or scandal as one in which Israel is the victim of terrorism, and in which Israel has the “right to defend itself.” This strategy, according to the Lutz report, will always win the support of the majority of Americans. In contrast, you should never mention borders, territory, or the loss of Palestinian land usurped by Israel in 1948, 1967, or in 1973. That will make Americans much more sympathetic toward Palestinians, at the expense of Israel’s ambitions.

"victim of terrorism, and in which Israel has the “right to defend itself.” "

unless these happen to be objectively true facts (that we can conveniently forget, black september)

"you should never mention borders, territory, or the loss of Palestinian land usurped by Israel in 1948, 1967, or in 1973."

just a little problem here: the entire land of israel was stolen by those same moslem arabs starting around 700 AD, and the specific usurpations mentioned were lost by israel was attacked therefore had valid claim to according to the laws of war.

then let's remind ourselves of what the slogan "from the river to the sea" means. you do know, don't you?

but never let the truth be an obstacle

We absolutely need an alternative to Twitter, but Threads, Instagram, and Facebook all being down at the same time shows how dangerous it is to consolidate all social media under a single corporation, and people need to stop encouraging it.

he is losing lawyers because the left has weaponized the technique of filing false ethics complaints against any lawyer who dares to represent him

and of course all those professional intelligence agencies who swore that that hunter biden laptop was russian disinformation

and all those professional doctors who cooperated with pushing a harmful and ineffective fake mrna vaccine

because they were paid off and pressured

Why place your daughter-in-law as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, as Trump has done with his son's wife Lara Trump?

Roger Sollenberger explains:

"Trump will have more than enough say to turn on the money spigot, and can demand large personal cuts from party funds."

The RNC, flush with money given by donors to the party itself — not to Donald Trump — is a cash cow for Trump and he intends to keep milking it.

"Hur’s description of Biden as 'well-meaning' has generally been ignored or interpreted as a condescending pat on the head. But in an election against Trump, it’s deadly serious. The special counsel investigations have found that while Biden acted with good intentions, Trump acted with bad intentions. And that’s why Trump, not Biden, got indicted."

@wdlindsy

not really
Biden just before the last indictment by the dems's kangaroo courts against Trump

Biden said, "All I need is one more indictment." pretty clear signal to his illegitimate special counsel Smith.

then let's not forget his quip about how "we" have F-16's

not well intentioned at all

but if your hero is Pol Pot, he might seem so

    they want to solve it without violence and using lawful means
