Whaddabout Superman - ain't he a NAZI as well, with the hand in the air when he flies. I guess now it's OK since woke DC made him a homo.

Instead of addressing RFK, Jr.’s concerns about data transparency and safety when it comes to injecting children with products for which manufacturers bear no liability, the WSJ Editorial Board dismissed them out of hand. Of the Opinion’s many inanities, the most notable is the following:

"He says he merely wants to ensure that vaccines are safe and thoroughly studied—who doesn’t?—and that Americans have access to more information. In Mr. Kennedy’s case, this means opening the industry to lawsuits by the trial bar."

Can the editors name a single other industry in the United States that is shielded from lawsuits in the event that its service or product results in injury or death? Would aircraft and car manufacturers maintain stringent quality control standards if they never had to worry about a lawsuit in the event of a crash?

Corporate media spent its Friday joyously doxxing more DOGE members, trying its best to cancel them before they can uncover more government misconduct. Early yesterday, Wired broke the biggest story, hysterically headlined “DOGE Teen Owns ‘Tesla.Sexy LLC’ and Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers.”

The horror.

Unironically, Wired accused Edward Coristine, 19, of creating his LLC, Tesla.Sexy, three years ago, when he was sixteen. I’ll say it again — Edward created his own successful tech LLC when he was sixteen years old. In its bloodthirsty excitement to cancel a top DOGE team member, Wired completely missed the gist.

For example, Wired’s article also smeared Edward with a prior job he’d held at IT security firm Path Networks, “known for hiring reformed blackhat hackers.”

In other words, Wired accidentally explained Edward is a real-life computer genius. But wait, there’s more. Edward’s next job was working for Elon Musk at the Neuralink company. And now Edward works in a top agency of the federal government.

All by the time he was 19 years old.

Michael Dell, you may have heard of him, also started a tech company when he was 19. So we’re talking about a potential Michael Dell-level of talent.

Wired, fueled no doubt by Deep State dirty tricks, did everything it could think of to smear young Edward, using the poor kid’s own resume. For example, he briefly owned a website selling an AI tool for a gaming website (Discord) — with Russian and Chinese versions. It proves he must be a Russian-triple-agent-Chinese spy!!!! Just like Trump!!!!

It was a Wired self-own. Or at minimum, the Wired article is a Rorschach test. If you are a woke lunatic, and you squint at the blobby dots hard enough, you see a comic-book supervillain. Sort of.

But everybody else sees a clear picture of DOGE hiring our country’s best and brightest.

Edward is the élite’s worst nightmare. His highest educational attainment was high school. No Ivy League. Not even college. But, enjoy this, an indignant Wired resentfully reported Edwards title at DOGE is simply, “Expert.”

That’s it, that’s his whole title: “Expert.”

Hahahaha! Edward’s title is an inside joke, an obvious mockery of progressives’ most treasured possession: expert status. DOGE is killing the wokescolds with humor. Everyone gets it now: progressive expertise is the cheapest kind of expertise, a knock-off, a Canal Street counterfeit; it’s expertise the easy way, not requiring actually accomplishing anything except being good at butt kissing.

Hence, for five years, they rubbed our faces in bulbous buffoons like Peter Hotez and dimlights like Leana Wen. The truth is, not everybody who graduated medical school in Haiti and is willing to lie on TV is an expert. Almost none of them are, actually. But I digress.

But the worst, most disqualifying misstep Wired discovered was that Edward once used a particularly colorful online gamer nickname. By this time, most everyone reading this has probably already heard it.

Edward might have big … basketballs, but his nickname was big news, especially among a certain far-left media category, represented best by a bevy of breathless, pearl-clutching, post-menopause-aged anchorwomen on CNN who were absolutely furious. “We looked into his background,” Karen scolded —by ‘looked into’ meaning she skimmed the same widely-circulating Wired story everybody else did— and, get this, she discovered “he has used the unfortunate nickname Big Ballz online.”

Hilariously, DOGE made them say it. Over and over and over.

Edward’s braggadocious gaming handle was, indeed unfortunate. But maybe not for the reason CNN thought. Among most young people, the “unfortunate” moniker is no slur, it is an unhumble brag. The left completely missed the target by repeating the rough compliment a thousand times, elevating Edward into the colored inserts in America’s testosterone-fueled history books of masculine achievement.

The Atlantic’s piece desperately clung to its rapidly shrinking purpose as the elite gatekeeper. “Kennedy holds broadly appealing views on combatting corruption and helping Americans overcome chronic disease,” the Atlantic allowed, admitting Kennedy’s undeniable grassroots support. “But,” they sneeringly continued, “he is also, to an almost cartoonish degree, not impeccably credentialed.”

Haha! Good one! Not impeccably credentialed! To a cartoonish degree! I wonder how long the tortured writers struggled to find the best words to describe their seething hostility without completely lampooning themselves as reeking caricatures of overfed academia. Only four years ago, corporate media clapped like trained seals about the confirmation of another lawyer —a lawyer with no public health background— named Xavier Becerra.

America’s unhinged obsession with racism since 2010 reminds me of an eyewitness account of the infamous Witch Trials in Trier, Germany in the 1580s

"In as much as it was popularly believed that the continued sterility of many years was caused by witches through the malice of the Devil, the whole country rose to exterminate the witches. This movement was promoted by many in office, who hoped for wealth from the persecution. And so, from court to court throughout the towns and villages of all the diocese, scurried special accusers, inquisitors, notaries, jurors, judges, constables, dragging to trial and torture human beings of both sexes and burning them in great numbers."

As the economist Thomas Sowell has often pointed out over the years, the chief beneficiaries of America’s witch hunt for racism have been the self-anointed leaders of the black community who have promised to expunge racism from our society.

Sad! They say that when you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging. Media is not only still digging, it’s maniacally driving one of Elon Musk’s robotic tunnel-boring machines— straight down. YouGov ran a survey story this week with bad news for corporate media. The poll’s headline said, “More Americans trust the Trump administration than trust the media for fair, full, and accurate facts.” Ruh-roh.




... Trump’s trust rating with independents and Republicans has steadily increased since the election. A similar poll in mid-November showed Trump about even with the media in reported trust. Since then, trust in Trump has surged, and trust in media has slid. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome, having finally gone dormant during the stupifying Biden era, has now come raging back, with sores and pus and who knows what else.

The shift is especially delicious because it’s happening despite non-stop, wall-to-wall negative Trump coverage.

The entire modern media-industrial complex is built on the assumption that media controls the narrative. If a majority of Americans trust Trump more than the media itself, that’s an apocalyptic development for the Fourth Estate. The media’s TDS is repulsive and obvious, and their polling proves it.

Nonsense. The 37% on wages for a single filer does not kick in until over $600k, and even then, only that potion of wages over that $600k. Hardly an impoverished dude. Also, that 20% is only for long term capital gains. Cash in stocks in less than a year and it is taxed the same as wages.

From a self-employed standpoint, you gotta factor in that 12.4% social security tax. That makes that effective 37% tax rate middle class.

To set the stage, so to speak, consider this Reuters headline from a little over four years ago, which ran one week after Biden’s inauguration:

Fact check: Debunking claims that
Biden's Oval Office is a fake movie set
By Reuters
January 26, 2021

Having established corporate media’s position on the matter, now let’s take a look at the video uploaded this week by Trump’s personal attorney Alina Habba:

https://x.com/AlinaHabba/status/1899502744236335266



Alina turned the camera around the green-screened studio and revealed Biden’s giant teleprompter. In contrast to President Trump, who is busily wearing out reporters daily with all his unscripted remarks and open-ended pressers, Joe Biden occasionally showed up in an Eisenhower building studio, where he read off short scripts that were undoubtedly written for him by someone else.

And, lest you feel tempted to forgive Reuters’ diligent ‘fact-checkers,’ remember that the media participated in propagating this unreal fakery— because it was right there, filming the so-called president. The years of unreality.

Democrats are completely unaware that they’re being filmed when they attack Teslas because the drive-by media isn’t covering the attacks.
