Ted Cruz accusing Tucker Carlson of being anti-semitic merely for Carlson questioning Cruz' positions regarding a foreign government: Israel. This is a diversionary tactic increasingly being used by those who don't want to discuss increasingly reckless and bizarre decisions by U.S. politicians regarding the coordinated use of military power by the U.S. and Israel. Fascinating conversation. It's sad to see politicians stooping this low to avoid having meaningful discussion.

. . . and he is now about to be fired for being a good teacher for reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" out loud. This obtuse school district doesn't understand the use versus mention distinction. I hope he reaches out to FIRE or a competent attorney who handles First Amendment and public school employment cases.

From Vigilant Fox:

New: Pavel Durov blows Tucker Carlson’s mind by exposing U.S. law that forces engineers to install back doors—and bans them from telling their own company
This is why Telegram didn’t set up shop in America.
“You know what’s interesting, in the U.S., you have a process that allows the government to actually force any engineer in any tech company to implement a back door and not tell anyone about it.”
“Using this process called the gag-order, you know there are certain legal procedures.”
Carlson, stunned, asked: “Not tell his own employer about it?”
Durov confirmed: “Yes, exactly. If you tell your own boss, you can end up in jail. Like, gag order.”
Carlson: “Actually?!”
Durov: “Yeah.”
Carlson: “So your employees have a legal obligation to act as fifth column spies? Saboteurs against you, your employees?”
Durov didn’t hesitate: “That’s one of the reasons I didn’t move to the U.S. with my team.”

From Tweet by The Vigilant Fox:

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell just exposed what many already suspected—the chaos unfolding in Los Angeles is being escalated by professional leftist agitators:
“When I look at the people who are out there doing the violence, that’s not the people that we [see] during the day.”
“These are people who are all hooded up. They’ve got a hoodie on. They’ve got face masks on. They’re people who do this all the time.”
“Get away with whatever they can. Go out there from one civil unrest situation to another, using the same or similar tactics frequently.”
“They are connected. Some would call them anarchists.”
“They’re people that we run across routinely, city to city, and this is what they do.”
“Many of the people who are doing this come in from other places just to hurt people and to cause havoc.”
This isn’t spontaneous. It’s organized, and it’s designed to burn the city to the ground.

Wishful Thinking

I know this is wishful thinking, but it would be so much more satisfying to have a system where politicians and journalists tell us what is happening when it's happening. Not 5, 10 or 60 years later, when the scandal has become a mere curiosity.
