NEW: It appears another hoax has been attempted. Family members of an 82-year-old Chilean man in PA went to the media claiming ICE arrested him while renewing a green card in Philly, that he died in ICE custody, then that he was secretly deported to Guatemala. The story went…
Lots of really bad economics in today’s NYT op-ed on grocery store competition. Take this passage for example:
We’ve been sounding the alarm for weeks. Now @washingtonpost just blew the UN’s cover. Hamas hijacks UN aid, resells it, and pockets the profit. GHF’s secure model blocks the looting, so Hamas wants us gone. Let’s break down the WaPo piece. 🧵

Cocomelon cuts to a new shot every 2-3 seconds because they figured out toddlers will lose focus unless you constantly blast their occipital lobe with new images. The first Cocomelon viewers are now old enough to vote.

The American Indian tribes basically lived like this, which is one reason among many that they were constantly at war with one another and never got beyond subsistence.
It’s not that communists fail. It’s that they have different goals than you do. You want things to work. That’s not at all a priority for them.

Trump hovered. He "stared at her bare legs." He left the room. She was in her ....mid-20s. This climactic interaction is buried under about six portentous comes-at-a-time paragraphs. nytimes.com/2025/07/20/us/…
Shouldn't the federal government have the right to stop funding programs that use YOUR money for things that are blatantly illegal? Like racially discriminatory employment programs?
/12 Biden’s NIH gave millions to Vanderbilt to hire 18 tenure-track faculty explicitly based on race. Black, Latinx, American Indian, or Pacific Islander only. Applicants outside those groups? Excluded. Ending this grant wasn’t discriminatory. Funding it was.
GUTFELD is available in 63 million homes as against 120 million for the networks. And yet he outperforms both Jimmys and Colbert in the 18-49 demo and in overall viewers.
