Instapundit - YOU CAN’T HATE THE NEW YORK TIMES ENOUGH–THIS IS HOW THE HAMAS PROPAGANDA MACHINE WORKS
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof published a lengthy piece alleging systematic sexual assault on Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli jails. - David Bernstein
- The piece was based on extremely dubious sourcing, and included the absurd allegation, which has circulated for months with no actual evidence provided, that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners.
- But it looks like Kristof, and the Times, are no mere credulous fools. A very extensive, detailed, and exquisitely sourced report was released today documenting, in gruesome detail, Hamas’s sexual depravity on 10/7 and its sexual crimes against the hostages it kidnapped to Gaza.
As @aizenbergt55 comments on X, “If you do not believe @nytimes knew EXACTLY what they were doing with the timing of the Kristof “opinion” piece [ie, trying to preempt justified outrage at Hamas’s sexual crimes by suggesting that Israel similarly engages in such crimes] I have a nice bridge to sell you.”

Piker has gone off the rails in claiming "America deserved 9/11," praising the terrorists of Hamas as "a thousand times better" than Israel and more.

Mandami's 'food desert' lie: How millions of your tax dollars are spent fixing fake urban famine | Blaze Media
Mandami's 'food desert' lie: How millions of your tax dollars are spent fixing fake urban famine | Blaze Media:
The 53 million Americans the USDA classifies as having "limited" food access are not all starving in a wasteland. Most of them are within walking, biking, or one-bus distance of a place that sells apples and carrots. Most of them know this, and a lot of them are cooking meals right now. The ones who genuinely cannot get there need rides, ramps, and delivery — not a fatalistic op-ed painting America like a Ken Burns documentary nobody asked for.
HERE'S HOW THE LAST 72 HOURS ACTUALLY UNFOLDED — AND WHY IT MATTERS:
→ May 11-12: White House quietly curates a list of the top 30 business leaders on Earth — personally selected by Trump - Bill Brindley→ Jensen Huang added last-minute after Nvidia export approvals cleared
→ Every single one of the 30 said YES — not one declined...
→ Every single one of the 30 said YES — not one declined...
- And THEN Trump tells Xi directly, on camera:
"We ask the top 30 in the world, EVERY single one of them say yes. And I didn't want the second or the third of the company!"Let that sequence sink in...
"I wanted only the top. And they're here today to pay respects to you, to China."

- He confirms this massive coordination is entirely unnatural.
- Why is a minor outbreak suddenly consuming the global media cycle?
I'm concerned about the idea of more states joining the United States, because no matter how good and welcome they may be...
...(such as Alberta), they would be used as justification for the Left to demand statehood for other, longer-standing territories such as Puerto Rico. - John F. Di Leo
But I would certainly love for Alberta to join the USA as a territory, or even as an independent country with a mutual defense pact, relatively open borders, and otherwise close friendship.
This isn't an easy step...
