Mike Johnson: "We said, 'don't sit on your couch and play video games'- by the way, also not a talking point. There was an AEI study, I think one of the organizations that polled this, and most of these young men who are not working are sitting around literally playing video games. Get back to work"

THE COMMENTATORS JUST SAID THAT THEY ARE AT THE CONFLUENCE OF THE MONONGAHELA, THE SUSQUEHANNA, AND THE OHIO

GOD I WISH THAT WAS TRUE I WOULD BE AT THE FUCKING GAME IF IT WAS

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE SUSQUEHANNA IS ALMOST 200 MILES EAST OF PITTSBURGH

Speaking for all physicians and healthcare providers here. When we see patients in need of care especially in an emergency room we do not leave them for dead. We do not care about their immigration status, we treat them because that is what we took an oath to do and is also basic human decency.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

All DEI is woke garbage we need to let people be racist and homophobic again also we need to make space for the emotional trauma of Jewish students on campus who had to see a protest on their way to class. Can’t have it both ways Bari!

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

A genie appeared and told me I could have 3 wishes but warned me there are 3 rules, wishes that can never be granted:

1. No wishing for more wishes
2. No wishing harm on anyone
3. No time travel

I wished for Chuck Schumer to be useful.

Genie pauses and says: ok actually there are 4 rules.

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech."

Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

congrats to all the media outlets carrying on charlie's work of silencing speech

www.404media.co/behind-the-b...

Maybe it is appropriate then that so many large media institutions are carrying on his “work” to facilitate “open dialogue” by letting the right call for Civil War, retribution, and violence while firing anyone who simply accurately describes the things that Charlie Kirk said and did.

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

on the electoral side of things, this is why you need a loud opposition party saying they reject this and will not stand for it. that this country should be safe for people from korea as new immigrants but also for longstanding korean americans.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · Sep 14

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
