I know a lot of SDA’ers don’t like Tim Pool but this is too important not to discuss:
Here’s a longer discussion with Sargon of Akkad and others around the world.
Not So Unbiased Social Media Employees
Kate posted about this a few days ago but i would like to look at it from a broader pespective.
Imagine receiving an email or phone call from your Internet or mobile phone provider chastising you for recent political comments you made on SDA or elsewhere. Would you be surprised or do you think they would have every right to do so? What would you actually do if this happened?
Given that Twitter and Facebook and other social media platforms have become the de facto public square of old, does it seem correct to you that highly biased employees at these companies can regulate what you post on them? The narrative to date has been that “they are private companies so they can do anything they want”. Is that really correct?
An investigative reporter has revealed some interesting facts about the Head of Site Integrity at Twitter. Here’s the fellow’s Twitter feed. Of course, he’s fully entitled to any personal opinions of his own but should his political biases be allowed to infringe on the speech of others?
Meet Your New Information Overlords
Remember the good old days when journalists and social media companies felt it was their duty to allow you to consume the information you wanted? That’s so . . . 2015!
The Historic Takedown of Illinois Emperor Pritzker
Illinois Judge Michael McHaney injected some sanity into the Covid-19 Lockdown debate in Illinois in an epic condemnation of Governor J.B. Pritzker:
Since the inception of this insanity, the following regulations, rules or consequences have occurred: I won’t get COVID if I get an abortion but I will get COVID if I get a colonoscopy. Selling pot is essential but selling goods and services at a family-owned business is not. Pot wasn’t even legal and pot dispensaries didn’t even exist in this state until five months ago and, in that five months, they have become essential but a family-owned business in existence for five generations is not.
A family of six can pile in their car and drive to Carlyle Lake without contracting COVID but, if they all get in the same boat, they will. We are told that kids rarely contract the virus and sunlight kills it, but summer youth programs, sports programs are cancelled. Four people can drive to the golf course and not get COVID but, if they play in a foursome, they will. If I go to Walmart, I won’t get COVID but, if I go to church, I will. Murderers are released from custody while small business owners are threatened with arrest if they have the audacity to attempt to feed their families.
The Dems’ Strategy in Focus

The Truth is in the Numbers
With the Democrats on an active “Trump Death Toll” campaign (part of Project Fear), it’s most insightful to take a deeper look at the numbers. Question: Why isn’t NY Governor Andrew Cuomo being blamed for anything by the MSM?
Joe Biden’s Less than Enthusiastic Support
This is far from a scientific random sample, but here are some interesting comments about Joe Biden over the past 24 hours. Warning: Most every single person here is afflicted with the fact & logic crippling brain disease known as “TDS” so be nice:

Senator Tim Scott has some thoughts for Sleepy Joe.
The Democrats’ 2020 Election Strategy is Now Clear
Joe Biden is a puppet. Bernie Sanders and his “progressive” apparatchiks are clearly pulling the strings. Americans have a decision to make. More here and here.
Even more politically germane than these remarks from the two big-blue states is what Joe Bidensaid from his Delaware porch: “We have an opportunity not just to rebuild the economy but to transform it.” That return-to-normalcy line that got him the nomination was mostly bunk. Mrs. Pelosi’s $3 trillion spending bill is best understood not as a bailout, but a bail-in. It would be a nationalization of the progressive blue-state model of unconstrained spending.
For the past several decades, that model has had two main components, neither of which their state tax bases can support: pension and health benefits negotiated with public-sector unions and a welfare state, principally Medicaid, which by the third law of Democratic thermodynamics can expand to infinity.
Someone’s gotta pay for it, and that someone under the Pelosi plan may soon be the rest of the nation’s taxpayers who don’t live in California, New York, New Jersey or Illinois and who have never voted to take on this unsustainable fiscal burden. Residents of all four states have been fleeing for years. The reigning theory of Democratic governance regards the loss of productive private capacity as irrelevant to their goals.
Pro tip: Whenever you hear a Leftist use the word “invest”, think “waste/spend” because it’s much more accurate.
Open Question for Democrats
I’ve never understood why it’s fine for white people to vote any way they wish in America but we’re constantly told that black people MUST vote for the Democrats or they’re not true “black”. Can someone explain that to me?!?
Say It Ain’t So, Joe!
“Come on man, you know what I mean. I mean if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black.”
Margin Of Fraud
I’ve been assured by reliable sources that this never happens.
A former Judge of Elections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been charged and pleaded guilty to illegally adding votes for Democrat candidates in judicial races in 2014, 2015, and 2016.
On Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against former Judge of Elections Domenick DeMuro, 73, for stuffing the ballot box for Democrats in exchange for payment by a paid political consultant. […]
According to the indictment, the political consultant allegedly solicited payments from Democrat candidates who hired him, classifying them as “consulting fees.” The payments — which ranged from $300 to $5,000 — were then allegedly used to pay Election Board Officials, such as DeMuro, in exchange for those officials illegally adding votes for the consultants’ Democrat candidates.
DeMuro admitted that he illegally added votes for Democrats on Election Day and then certified later that the votes counted were accurate.

Enemies of the West
In a recent interview with Ben Shapiro, author Douglas Murray talks about the useless brainwashed Leftist folks who truly hate everything about the West.
Leftists: America’s Dystopian Nightmare
Remember the good old days when Democrats cared about free speech, the rule of law, civil liberties, and due process? Those are ancient times for the political movement that now embraces guilty no matter what, cancel culture, and a totalitarian one-party state that decides all.
In his most recent essay, Matt Taibbi connects several dots to expose 2020 Leftists for what they truly have become:
Whatever one’s opinion of Flynn, his relations with Turkey, his “Lock her up!” chants, his haircut, or anything, this case was never about much. There’s no longer pretense that prosecution would lead to the unspooling of a massive Trump-Russia conspiracy, as pundits once breathlessly expected. In fact, news that Flynn was cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller inspired many of the “Is this the beginning of the end for Trump?” stories that will someday fill whole chapters of Journalism Fucks Up 101 textbooks.
Warrantless surveillance, multiple illegal leaks of classified information, a false statements charge constructed on the razor’s edge of Miranda, and the use of never-produced, secret counterintelligence evidence in a domestic criminal proceeding – this is the “rule of law” we’re being asked to cheer.
The same mistake is now being made with civil liberties. Millions have lost their jobs and businesses by government fiat, there’s a clamor for censorship and contact tracing programs that could have serious long-term consequences, yet voters only hear Trump making occasional remarks about freedom; Democrats treat it like it’s a word that should be banned by Facebook (a recent Washington Post headline put the term in quotation marks, as if one should be gloved to touch it). Has the Trump era really damaged our thinking to this degree?
