The best question a reporter ever asked of Trump was the one S.V. Date asked in 2020: “Mr. President, …do you regret at all, all the lying you’ve done to the American people?” The White House press corps needs to be at least that tough today—indeed tougher, given Trump’s degraded state of mind.

IMO it’s clear from Richard Hanania’s own words that he believes that rape, both statutory and violent, is the right of a certain kind of man. Elite men It’s appalling that this man is given a drop of ink or a second of interview time in our media. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/richard-hana...

He is also a constant cheerleader for “age-gap relationships.” Hanania doesn’t seem to believe any man should be denied a teenager they find attractive. www.liberalcurrents.com/richard-hana...
Allow me, if you can stomach it, to quote him at length:

There is no way to call attraction to 17-year-olds pedophilia without also stigmatizing attraction to women who are slightly older than that. We have an age of consent, and it used to be recognized that it was an arbitrary line that we have to set somewhere. But before the last decade or two, there wasn't this idea that men whose sexual preferences did not exactly line up with the legal minimum in the jurisdiction that they happen to live in were disordered or somehow abnormal. This is a bizarre idea that is frankly inconsistent with people being able to develop realistic understandings of sex differences and human biology.
If men who are attracted to 17-year-olds are disordered, on what basis can those who like
20-year-olds be considered normal? I've noticed that most of the women who are mad at age gap relationships are aggressive middle age types who seem to have a deep personal interest in the issue.

Looks like Big Balls had access to your private data.
At issue in Mr. Borges's complaint is the so-called Numident file, a critical database that contains the personal information of everyone who has ever held a Social Security number, living or dead. The agency has issued more than 548 million numbers.
In his complaint, Mr. Borges provided documents showing that DOGE member John Solly, a software engineer working at Social Security, called a career agency employee on June 10 to open discussions about copying Numident data to a "virtual private cloud" server operated by Social Security. Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE software engineer, was also involved in the project and would be given access to the server, other records show. The request came shortly after the Supreme Court allowed members of DOGE to have access to the agency's data.
Mr. Solly and Mr. Coristine did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
At least one senior official soon began raising concerns, according to documents disclosed in Mr. Borges's complaint.
