X, the social-media giant owned by Elon Musk, has officially been banned in Brazil. Last night, X failed to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to block vast swathes of content and appoint a local legal representative for the company. It has now gone offline to its 22million Brazilian users " roughly one tenth of the national population
It was bad enough that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris never said the names of the 13 fallen from the disastrous exit from Afghanistan. It tanked both of their approval ratings. It exposed just how incompetent Joe Biden was as a leader, and Harris, too, who bragged about being the "last person in the room." Why weren't they properly remembered? Probably because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wanted to deflect from the operation as much as possible. Their indifference was so bad that there was a grassroots effort to get Joe Biden to "say their names.
I'm not sure what Tim Walz is thinking. The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential nominee is getting a ton of media scrutiny " as he should " because Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate. And it's not all painting him in a positive light. A growing number of examples show Walz either exaggerating or lying about his past. We're not close to George Santos territory here (the former Republican congressman who was outed for making up huge swaths of his past, as well as fundraising numbers), but it's still concerning. These are unnecessary, unforced errors, and they should make voters question what they can trust when Walz speaks.
You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose. Mario Cuomo's adage has been updated and adapted by his successors in the modern Democratic Party. The duality they present to voters either side of an election is a deception that has defined American politics and culture for the past 20 years. As they campaign for office, they present a kind of idealized version of themselves to the electorate as mainstream Americans, seeking merely to bring a little unity and compassion to a fundamentally great country in need of reform. Once in office they act as if they have a mandate to remake a benighted country, to reorder an unjust system, to replace American exceptionalism with European social democracy, and to rewrite the nation's values with the precepts of their cultural Marxism.
Sadly, many of our leading law schools have lost their bearings. Law school leaders and faculties have steadily disavowed teaching the constitutional text and structure to instead promote the latest fads in diversity, equity and inclusion. Faculty hostility toward true academic freedom, a content-neutral approach to free speech and study of the Constitution's text has gone so far that law schools are now rejecting donors who wish to support research in separation of powers, federalism and constitutional interpretation

Biden posted a picture of himself at Arlington in a campaign ad in 2020. Politifact is gaslighting up a storm as is their wont when "fact-checking" a Democrat and/or leftist. I can set my watch to it.
