The Washington Post will not be endorsing Kamala Harris. For the first time in forty years, the paper will not endorse anyone.

Yeah coke users are pretty obvious. That's a coke user. Not even a question.

The Washington Post will not be endorsing Kamala Harris. For the first time in forty years, the paper will not endorse anyone.

This development was colossally catastrophic, undermining the foundations of Democrat world view. The two papers were the safest sources Democrats rely on to tell them what it’s okay to think, and what they can safely say. And those foundations of safety just slid sideways.

As with anyone whose core identity is unexpectedly challeged, the WaPo’s refusal to endorse Democrats’ selected candidate produced incandescent fury and incoherent rage. For example, the increasingly deranged, far-left podcaster Keith Olbermann, who yesterday non-ironically demanded Biden immediately arrest Elon Musk and nationalize Musk’s companies, also rage-quit the Washington Post to protest the paper’s non-endorsement...

In other words, they think Bezos is scared that he’ll get the Elon Musk treatment. Even though fear of deep state retribution was the first explanation they ran to, Democrats still can’t see that the real problem is a weaponized federal government. (Democrats cannot imagine a world where the papers’ owners have good faith, bona fide reasons for not endorsing Harris.)

Jeff Bezos and the LA Times owner, billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, should be more worried about being punished by Democrats for their sudden betrayal. It’s more curious that they aren’t.

Meta had initially removed the post, labeling it a “derogatory sexualized photoshop,” (🤔) move that reeked of overreach, especially in an election year when political critique should flow freely. The Board essentially called out Meta, urging that censoring satire—even biting political satire—poses real risks to political speech and legitimate critique, especially when candidates are involved.

While Meta did reinstate the meme, the damage was done: censorship in the lead-up to an election is a point of no return. Removing posts, only to reverse them after backlash, only bolsters an argument critics have raised for years: Meta’s policies overly stifle speech at critical moments. With this case now on record with Meta's own Oversight Board, the real question is whether Meta’s censorship will evolve—or if "too little, too late" will be the rule.

Why Kamala? Take a look at this incredible list of just a few of her achievements:

As a young San Francisco lawyer, broke into politics by using her stunning intellect to win the favor of 60-year-old Mayor Willie Brown

Ran for President in 2020 and earned zero votes, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was in it purely for the love of the game

After Joe Biden announced he would select a woman of color as VP, she was a woman of color

When Mike Pence was trying to turn America to fascism, bravely intervened by saying, "I'm speaking."

Was such a popular Vice President that over 12 million people hiked thousands of miles from South America to come meet her

She is brat, which we believe means that she is as cool as a bratwurst

So beloved that she became the first person in history to win a primary without receiving a single vote

The non-endorsement hot tub must look pretty good right now, and baby, it’s cold outside. The Hill ran a story yesterday headlined, “Over 200 Gannett outlets not ‘endorsing in presidential or national races’.” In other words, USA Today and all its local papers are out, sayonara; more than 200 papers in all, none of them will endorse the Cackling Candidate. ...

So far, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and now USA Today (and its 200 local papers) have defied furious readers and refused to run a simple endorsement. It’s really something.

Musk. Don't know if it will happen in our lifetimes. There's likely resources and minerals out the ass on Mars. Don't sleep on Musks' Boring company. Everyone focuses on Tesla, SpaceX and X. I don't know if I'll see it, but he has reusable rockets that could haul massive amounts of resources. AND the drilling capacity.

He's an awkward character, but I personally think he plans to fly his Boring machines to Mars and extract minerals. Think of it as a planetary gold rush.
