And since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge, and after 12th grade I went straight to college.

According to CNN he only *appears* to close his eyes.

Whether he actually does is unknowable. Democratic leaders and far-left activists might claim he did, but that's just an opinion.

Reminded of Mamdani not claiming to have grown up poor but rather recognizing he had certain types of privilege by saying "Being a nepo baby and working hard gets you places" about *himself* 8 or 9 years ago.

If by doing so he could get more bigots and incels to hang on his every word, of course he would.

Duh.

Meanwhile Nassau County Executive is posting on FB about checking candy, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But not a word about drivers taking responsibility. Or more police enforcement.

Graphic showing police officers have disproportionately issued summonses to Black and Latinx individuals, with the latter group gradually making up a larger percentage of civil summonses in the past 4 years.

I always *assumed* the Winter Olympics was only for sports on ice or snow.

But I just looked it up in the Olympic Charter.

And it turns out that....

the Winter Olympics is only for sports on ice or snow.

stillmed.olympics.com/media/Docume...
6 Olympic Games* 1 The Olympic Games are competitions between athletes in individual or team events and not between countries. They bring together the athletes selected by their respective NOCs, whose entries have been accepted by the IOC. They compete under the technical direction of the IFs concerned. 2 The Olympic Games consist of the Games of the Olympiad and the Olympic Winter Games. Only those sports which are practised on snow or ice are considered as winter sports.

Meanwhile, @nytimes.com is completely "fair and balanced." Not taking sides. Totally bipartisan. Neutral. View from nowhere.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative."
Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump saying "I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings."

This is both hilarious and sick.

Low-level MAGA's brains have been so destroyed that they think the word "activist" is pejorative. Third time I've seen this reaction to the word in the last 36 hours.

This example is in response to TV station writing "Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist..."
Facebook post beginning with "Why are you calling him an activist, Do you call BLM activist, NO,"
