Once CIA saw itself as above politics. But Ratcliffe is a political animal. CIA trained the shooter to kill and evacuated him and tens of thousands of others who served the US in Afghanistan. They will now be collectively punished by the POTUS who signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban.

This statement is way outside of CIA’s lane and erosive of the ethical norm that intelligence should be non-partisan. If that norm vanishes, intelligence loses a very large portion of its value.

Don't think there has been a color revolution anywhere in a decade, but I don't know brave infantryman, I figure it takes some balls to openly protest the government of Belarus.
What? From his recent posts all I got I’d that he thinks America is in the midst of a color revolution from the left. JFC

Reminds me of when Uncle Dave's side piece got a little media tour lecturing everyone about how it is sexist to call her a mistress. Gotta admire the balls that takes.
She is literally doing a book tour for her memoir about her affair. The publisher is Simon & Schuster

Keystone Kash blows it again: The perpetrator that he’s going to use all available resources to track down in the DC guardsman shooting is already in the hospital. Idiot.

I am pretty certain that Bari has been installed into CBS primarily to protect the interests of a small group of people with large exposure to real estate development projects in Judea & Samaria.
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate “charismatic”...

Imagine the disappointment when they can't find the conspiracy they already convinced themselves of.
Absolutely no one should be able to make a surprise visit to an undisclosed government location, demand documents, and leave.

And no one without a clearance should be able to be “waved in” to a highly secure facility because she’s married to a relative of the subject of the files being sought.

Why hasn't Mamdani condemned QR code menus at restaurants? An anxious public wants to know.
The Mamdani discourse is a lot, but it reflects a general lack of Democratic leadership elsewhere.

With an inspiring Democratic president, powerful leaders in the House and Senate and a charismatic DNC chair, there wouldn't be such focus on the New York City mayor. We don't have any of the former.
Re Mamdani discourse I know some folks will not like hearing this but feels like the convo is becoming way too saturated. I really appreciate this guy and am marveling his win. And, I love New York but the world doesn't revolve around it.

How many more think pieces we will have to read? ...

There is an entire bizarre genre and cottage industry in legacy media of articles written by old people baffled by the romantic relationships of young people and peddling it as if it is newsworthy.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

I'm increasingly convinced that the dead internet theory is real. In 10-20 years I wonder if the internet will be like cable television. Yeah, it's there but no one under the age of 75 uses it or takes it seriously.
It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
