The message was surprising. David Enrich, an investigative reporter for The New York Times, was responding to a question I had sent him about his newspaper's 2018 coverage of the Brett Kavanaugh nomination. The Times had disgraced itself with its abysmal "reporting" on Kavanaugh. Enrich responded in a way that surprised me: "I've spent a lot of time thinking about my role in the Kavanaugh coverage, and I would be happy to talk to you about it at some point. For now, I will just say that I have learned some lessons and would probably do certain things differently next time." Wait ... what? Journalists never admit when they're wrong. About anything. Ever. Yet the substance and tone of his message suggested that of a contrite person who might believe he made mistakes. In my experience, this was an extraordinary statement coming from a reporter at the country's leading newspaper
The child victims of rape were denied justice and protection from the state to preserve the image of a successful multicultural society Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips' decision to block a public inquiry into the Oldham grooming gangs seems, from the outside, to be almost inexplicable.

Unlike any prior nominee for the position, Patel is a harsh critic of the Bureau. In his book Government Gangsters: the Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for our Democracy, he has called for "a new Church Committee," referring to the 1975 congressional hearings overseen by Sen. Frank Church, an Idaho Democrat. The Church Committee exposed, among other things, the FBI's illegal campaign of surveillance and harassment against political and civil-rights leaders, and the CIA's Project MKUltra, in which Americans were unwittingly experimented on with LSD. Not too long ago it was almost exclusively the radical left that made the sorts of criticisms of the FBI and CIA made by Patel, and that remembered the abuses uncovered by the Church Committee.
Democracy dies in deception. There were two presidential campaigns in 2024: one between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and then one between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The first began to end, and the second began to take shape, during the Trump-Biden debate held on June 27. The story of that debate was President Biden, who looked and sounded dreadful. His performance confirmed Democrats' worst fears and Republicans' best argument: Joe Biden, born 11 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, was too old and cognitively diminished to discharge his presidential duties now, much less over the course of a second term that would last beyond his 86th birthday.
The Global Engagement Center, an office housed within the State Department and aiming to thwart disinformation and misinformation, has been forced by Congress to close up shop. It's no mystery why; the taxpayer-backed GEC violated its mandate to work only overseas and devolved into a partisan enabler of speech suppression in the United States. Here's how. ...
Danforth,
Yet they backed off. Why is that? These are terrorists, right?
Why would the FBI back off on terrorists?
Maybe because these people weren't terrorists?
Political and cultural thought to the right of Stalin is t terrorism.
Speaking out at school board meetings isn't terrorism.
