I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x Most believe some or all of the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc, but what you find when you talk to them is that, while they'll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they're not particularly attached to them. 2/x Here are the facts - actual, confirmed facts...

"The movie business is over," Diller said in an exclusive interview with NPR on the sidelines of the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, a media and technology conference in Idaho. "The movie business as before is finished and will never come back."

Joe Biden is not mentally or physically fit to be president of the United States. This has been obvious to anyone with eyes or ears for the entirety of his presidency. Acknowledging this simple fact should not be a partisan issue. Regardless of policy disputes, Republicans and Democrats alike should want the leader of the free world to exhibit strength, power, and reassurance on both the national and the world stage. But Biden is merely a figurehead. He is a facsimile of a leader in an office that normally demands sharpness, stamina, and clear-headedness. No honest assessment can conclude that...

Five California police officers are suing the city of Palo Alto for permitting a Black Lives Matter mural to be painted with anti-police images, claiming that it’s discriminatory against law enforcement and constitutes harassment. The suit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on Sunday claimed that the city enabled a “discriminatory and harassing work environment” by allowing the mural two blocks away from the entrance to the police department, the Daily Post in Palo Alto reported. “Law enforcement officers, including Plaintiffs, were forced to physically pass and confront the Mural and its offensive, discriminatory, and harassing iconography every time...

Shocking video shows mob capturing Haiti President Jovenel Moïse’s ‘assassins’ Dramatic video captured the moment a Haitian mob captured two alleged Colombian assassins, beat them and dragged them bloodied through the streets of Port-au-Prince after President Jovenel Moïse was gunned down. A video shared on social media shows the crowd pulling two men, one of whom was shirtless and bound with a rope, in the neighborhood of Petion-Ville, near the late president’s private residence. “Advance, advance!” someone is heard yelling on the video as the crowd pushes the two men, who were discovered hiding in some bushes. Some people grabbed...

The summer provides for many reruns on television. The same can be said as the country lurches toward an epic showdown as Republicans and Democrats argue about the debt ceiling and how the federal government spends more money than it brings in. Like debt ceiling discussions in the past, left-leaning politicians and bureaucrats are urging lawmakers to raise the amount of money the U.S. government can borrow, while some on the right are demanding reductions in federal expenditures. It is clear that something will have to be done. As of July 8, 2021, the total U.S. national debt is more...

New radiocarbon dates for rabbit bones excavated in the 1960s at Mexico’s Coxcatlan Cave (shown here) raise the possibility that humans lived there roughly 30,000 years ago. Andrew D. Somerville Humans may have inhabited what’s now southern Mexico surprisingly early, between 33,448 and 28,279 years ago, researchers say. If so, those people arrived more than 10,000 years before folks often tagged as the first Americans (SN: 7/11/18). Other preliminary evidence puts humans in central Mexico as early as around 33,000 years ago (SN: 7/22/20). The latest evidence comes from animal bones that biological anthropologist and archaeologist Andrew Somerville and...

Xi Jinping, China’s strongman leader, recently gave a strident speech on the centennial of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921. Predictably, he focused on achievements of the Party and left out significant blemishes—for example the catastrophic Great Leap Forward in the 1950s, the sanguinary Cultural Revolution from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, and the suppression of democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989. He also obliquely threatened the interventionism of the United States and the West by saying that foreign powers would “crack their heads and spill blood” if they tried to stop China’s rise. Yet Xi’s...

Did CNBC get its understanding of economics from the back of a cereal box? The outlet is arguing that the silver lining to skyrocketing inflation is — “rising wages.” The liberal outlet noted how “[a]s the economy picks up in the wake of the Covid pandemic, concerns about inflation are also gaining steam.” After conceding that prices of goods are rising, CNBC took a nosedive into ineptitude: “Companies facing a labor shortage are also paying more to get workers to walk in the door.” Did CNBC even consider that rising prices of goods are eating into American pay? Bloomberg News...

Donald Trump has revealed that he plans on and is committed to giving a deposition in the recently announced class-action lawsuit against the Big Tech companies Facebook, Twitter, and Google. After announcing that he would be the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against the various social media companies who banned his accounts following the January 6 Capitol riot, Trump expanded on his role in the suit in an interview with Bill O’Reilly. “I look forward to it, actually,” the former president said, when asked about sitting for a deposition in the suit, which will mean answering direct questions about the...

No Relief for Lego Man or Other January 6 Detainees Prospects look dim for those caught up in Merrick Garland’s Capitol protest witch hunt. Joe Biden’s Justice Department wants the Lego Man kept behind bars—indefinitely.Federal agents seized a plastic replica of the Capitol building from the Pennsylvania home of Robert Morss during his arrest on June 11. Justice Department officials are citing the Lego model as evidence in the criminal case against Morss for his involvement in the January 6 protest: “During his arrest, law enforcement recovered some clothing and other items that appear to match those he carried with...

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s favorability rating with her own state’s Republicans has plummeted to (the following is not a typo) six percent. Six! Her unfavorable rating with Alaska’s Republicans is a whopping 84 percent. Overall, 59 percent of Alaskans are unfavorable towards Murkowski, while only 26 percent are favorable.

Imagine a future where America’s biggest rival--the Chinese Communist Party--holds much of your personal information and data, including your faceprint, voiceprint, and even your DNA. This could soon become a reality. For some of us, it likely is already. Recent news has demonstrated that the Biden Administration along with European countries are concerned about an increasingly aggressive communist China. But much of the focus on China has been on topics such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Uighurs, an oppressed minority population inside China. These are not easy problems to solve, nor do they affect most Americans. Much more concerning...

A 10-year analysis of hospitals’ preparedness for pandemics and other mass casualty events in the years prior to COVID-19 is warning that the nation’s health care system may not be adequately prepared for the next one. For the study, a team of researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and University of Maryland Medical Center used a surge index tool called Hospital Medical Surge Preparedness Index (HMSPI) to score data from more than 6,200 hospitals nationwide. The hospitals had partaken in the American Hospital Association annual surveys. The team also used census data to determine population estimates in...

Pinch-hitting for Chuck Todd on Tuesday's MTP Daily, MSNBC's Garrett Haake picked up the climate-panic card, underlining a New York Times op-ed hysterically titled "Democrats Have a Year to Save the Planet." We're missing "an opportunity for the United States to finally take grand action to curb the worst effects of a climate barreling toward catastrophe." Haake's guest was Leah Stokes, a professor who pointed out she was quoted by Manjoo in his panic piece. He told her "I want to talk about how pivotal you think this is. The New York Times’ Farhad Manjoo described it as a do...
