Matt Taibbi- How America’s Accurate Election Polls Were Covered Up

What happened in 2024 to RCP is emblematic of wider failures in data journalism, which has now turned in three straight cycles of obscene misses. Although problems in polling have been lavishly, even excessively covered, failures are inevitably presented as a Scooby-Doo whodunit, rooted in a magic invisibility power apparently unique to Trump voters. “If Trump outperforms the polls once again,” the Atlantic concluded this August, “something about his supporters remains a mystery.”

But it’s no mystery. The polling problem in America looks like good-old-fashioned lying, mixed with dollops of censorship and manipulation:

Counter with an offer to spay and neuter them all: Striking Canada Post union demands free sex changes

Among their gripes is the fact that their employees can’t get sex change operations for free, as indicated by their inclusion of “gender-affirming care” to their benefits plan, along with other financial items.

Just as woke, the CUPW is asking for “precautionary cessation of work for pregnant and breastfeeding employees,” rather than “women.”

The CUPW did not include any of this language in their press release on the strike this morning, opting for a more conventional argument surrounding fair wages and safe working conditions.

CUPW’s website lists a swath of unresolved issues, including wage increases in line with inflation, adding 10 paid medical days and 7 paid personal days, allowing medical days to be banked, and protections against technological change.

Bari Weiss Interviews Peter Thiel

47 Baiting The Left Democrats 34 Comments

To go along with your Saturday morning coffee, here’s a post-election interview with Peter Thiel.

Side take: While I admire Weiss’s courage to quit the New York Times and embark out on her own, I must say that this interview illustrates why I don’t trust her. While she speaks well, I have the distinct sense that she is an elitist club member and judges people by their academic pedigree rather than their character or brainpower. I predict that before 2028, she will turn against Trump’s common sense agenda and fall back into the mindless Democrat comfort zone.  I hope I’m wrong. Thoughts?

Tyson vs Netflix

I don’t know how long this is going to last, but as Netflix servers melt down, there’s a guy in the stands at the Paul vs Tyson fight, broadcasting live on X to 1.5M viewers. Now 2.8M, then to 5.5 and it looks like the streams have been pulled.

May be just as well, it doesn’t sound like things are going well for ol’ Mike. #paultyson

Most wage earners would not be surprised to see a recession in the near future; for many, it’s already begun as prices have outstripped wage growth for many months.

Over 20.5% accumulated inflation over the past four years, government deficit spending has reached nearly $2 trillion annually despite record tax receipts and a growing economy, public debt has reached almost $36 trillion, and the monthly job figure includes an astonishing 43,000 new government jobs each month. In 2023, nearly 25% of all job gains were government ones, and the entirety of the growth of the labor force in the past four years came from foreign workers.

The Biden-Harris administration has left a massive time bomb for Trump and Elon Musk’s government efficiency office…

Iddo Moed, Israel’s Ambassador to Canada;

…in 1980 at Paris’ rue Copernic synagogue, the deadliest antisemitic attack in France since the Second World War turned a celebration to horror.

At around 6:30 p.m., more than 300 worshipers were rocked violently by a terrible blast. The synagogue’s front gate blew off, its ceiling collapsed, and glass shards tore through the sanctuary. Eyewitnesses outside described a 20-metre flame erupt into the night sky followed by the sight of cars launched into the air.[…]

Last week, however, those families, indeed Jewish communities worldwide, were shocked to read in the National Post that while Diab awaits the extradition to France to be processed, to serve his life sentence, he is employed by Carleton University to teach a course on, of all topics, social justice.

President Elect Donald J. Trump;

“My first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that, if you do not end antisemitic propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support.”
