“It dawned on me today … The bad guys won in WWII,” reads the old X post from Royce White, a former NBA player now running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota. “There were no ‘good guys’ in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces.”

Ah yes, this is exactly why the Cold War happened right after the war ended

Asked for clarification, White said that "neither the Allied forces nor the Axis powers won or lost the war" and that "there was a group of people who benefited from all the institutions that sprang out and sprang up after World War II."

He said the people he's referring to were "globalists" and "the post-World War II democratic order."

Tesla's Germany factory is going to have a train service that will transport its workers for free, which cool, train good. But a number of the usual suspects (Teslarati and other Tesla/Elon loving media) are claiming that Tesla are launching the train as if it had built the train. In some cases adding its "mind-blowing" capacity (its the same as a regular train).

Here's the kicker: Tesla only slapped its name on a train built by Seimens, using batteries manufactured by Toshiba

Typical slop fronting as defending a student who had her valedictorian speech cancelled.

Things are not well on America’s college campuses. The disgusting antisemitism that seems only to be building – and campus administrators’ lackluster response – has led to some truly frightening displays.

This is the introduction to the article, which is supposedly defending free speech. Instantly criticizing school admins for not having a strong enough response to the protests because its not like they haven't stuck the pigs on the protestors. Also "truly frightening displays" links to an article that talks about the rabbi who warned Jewish students not to attend classes in person, which itself fails to point out any "frightening displays" of anti-semitism.

Now, Tabassum may well have repugnant personal views and her speech may stoke division on campus. Even so, her academic accomplishments should not be undermined because of fears of possible violence and a speech she likely hadn’t even written yet.

Got to love how being pro-Palestine is described as having "repugnant personal views" and "stoking division on campus."

But the of the article is conflating Tabassum's pro-Palestine position with some transphobe. A college decided to let the transphobe have a speech.

Gaines, who is often described in the media as an “anti-trans rights activist,” is a lot more than that. She is an accomplished former NCAA competitive swimmer who became well-known after she tied transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-yard NCAA freestyle championship race in 2022. Following that experience, Gaines has become an outspoken defender of fairness in women’s sports and speaks frequently on the issue at universities around the country.

The author seems to have a rather glowing opinion of Gaines. There's no pointing out that Gaines' transphobic views are leading schools and politicians to effectively taking away trans students' rights to compete in the sports that they love. No pointing out that she too could be "stoking division on campus" like she did in describing Tabassum's speech.

Gaines is used to attracting pushback – and even violence – on campuses, so it’s probably no surprise to her that there are factions of the Adrian community who aren’t happy that she will speak at the school. A student LGBTQ+ group started an online petition urging the college to “disinvite” Gaines. It now has more than 1,600 signatures.

Again, a very disingenuous description of something "disturbing" or "violence". The linked article just shows her getting yelled at. No one put a hand on her on either of the videos in the linked article.

“Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews,” Carano wrote online at the time, “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

Conservatives: Look at all of you lefty snowflakes

Also conservatives: Everyone hates me for my views, I'm being oppressed

If there wasn't already enough proof that he would be right at home with any mid-late 1800s robber baron that thought they were engineers, this should be enough.

Uh, let me pee here.

The mayor has blamed the budget cuts on federal COVID aid ending, and the cost of the migrant crisis in the city.

Seeing this is being reported uncritically on a few other websites and on TV news as well.

The language surrounding the migrant situation is becoming more and more dangerous. It was only a month or two ago that Top Cop Adams said that the migrant "crisis" would destroy the city. Now we have the media running around putting the blame for budget cuts on migrants.

Here's a NYT article that goes into more detail on the recent budget cuts: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116210120/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/nyregion/nyc-budget-cuts-schools-police-trash.html
