"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Federal prosecutors have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into allegations that the LA Clippers helped arrange secret sponsorship contracts for Kawhi Leonard that circumvented the salary cap www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/u...

Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into allegations that the Los Angeles Clippers helped arrange secret sponsorship contracts for the star player Kawhi Leonard that circumvented the salary cap, according to people briefed on the matter.

The investigation is in its earliest stages and is being conducted by the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, which has a long history of investigating the N.B.A. and professional sports, according to two of the people.

In a functioning civil society, an institution as big and as influential as the Gates fdn would be subject to an independent review of foundation activities during the time in question to understand if and how much Epstein and his illicit acts/motivations were commingled with Gates fdn strategy.

Responsibility and accountability are two very different things. With this latest admission, his previous denials and what is alluded to in the Epstein files...it's quite likely that the richest man/philanthropist in the world was significantly compromised.
