“ Eli Lake on an adaptation of “Animal Farm” that misses the point.”
—————————————
Misses the point? It doesn’t just miss the point, it blatantly pushes the exact opposite point. It would be like an adaptation of the Communist Manifesto that praises capitalism.
I don't think there is any controversy that the two are father and son: "The alleged father and son gunmen . . . ." I think the alleged part refers to their actions. Of course, their motive for their deeds may never be known.
Is it true the Australian authorities allowed a pro Palestinian march together with shouts against Jews together with Palestinian flags fluttering and a police escort at Bondi Beach the day after the Jewish massacre?
If this is true, and I hope for the Australian government’s sake it isn’t, but if it is, based on the police reaction time to the massacre the day before, that they are complicit and the civilised world needs to vocally condemn them.
This reply says from Peter R Kohli, but the email address from which I received it is Pan Narrans. If this is really you, Pan, then I believe this is the first time we have ever agreed on anything. And if all you mention about the Australian authorities is true, then I think we can even go beyond vocally condemning them. We can even go so far as writing a stern letter. For all the good words of any form do in reforming feckless and complicit governmental idiots and evildoers.
I wish thenreporter had mentioned why Stanislov was in a Children's home. While I have not yet been able to log in and read the entire article, I know that Russia would say they were "rescuing the child" to justify their kidnapping
From the article, Dasha and her brother were abandoned by their parents in 2018, when she was around 11 and her brother was a baby. He does not know his sister. Now that she's 18, she is trying to get him back but he was kidnapped (along with dozens of children) from a Ukrainian orphanage in 2022.
Anyone in the Trump administration who thought sitting down for multiple, lengthy interviews with a scribbler for "Vanity Fair" was a good idea needs to write this 1,000 times on the chalkboard: "Play dumb games, win dumb prizes."
Given the social media rhetoric and recent history of many NY juries you can't rule it out. Is there much doubt NYC has many Luigi fans and that many would lie when questioned in court ( how do you prove it) . I imagine if there is a trial there will be some betting odds developed
“raising significant concerns about the economy even as job gains continue to grow.”
Who are the people holding those significant concerns? Can you name a couple?
(I have concerns, but I don’t know that any of the numbers coming out of BLS is useful at this point. Some of the payroll processors’ numbers might lend more insight, but so much of it at this point is just fodder for Wall Street gamblers…)
Payroll processors as long as we understand the H2B program puts a big dent into data. Green Industry (my 40 years business) does a lot of this as does Construction. My experience is 20-30 inbound in April/ May and out in October/November. Multiply that over thousands of businesses and you get a sizable dent in the data and the numbers.
Currently, 65,000 new jobs by the private sector but lost 105,000 government jobs. Of course that makes me pretty happy
I mentioned the payroll processors just as an example of another source that can be used.
I’m trying to cast aside all the key stats to watch during Obama’s “Summer of Recovery “ where it was understood that the economy needed to add something like 200K jobs per month just to account for population growth.
You mentioned the decline of government jobs; how much of what was done during the past five years just government hiring to pad the stats?
But the stats coming out of BLS don’t tell much at this point. What’s released is often way overstated, then revised down over the next couple of months.
(But it was the worst thing ever when Trump fired the chief there a few months ago…)
The focus on regular FTE jobs, too, sheds light on the tax credits for the Obamacare Exchange plans. A “gig worker” wouldn’t be counted.
As Fed Chair Powell stated in his remarks following their meeting last week, they believe the data is overstating job gains by 60,000, making this report essentially no growth.
I think in this case it is okay to capitalize a color since it's the name of the university. Also, it would probably not be prudent to write "brown university students" in connection with anything.
1. Luigi sure is getting a lot of positive messaging from the media. An entertaining story to grip the nation.
2. Gen Z tearing down nations? Hmm, sounds like corporate influence is influencing Gen Z on TikTok the same way all young folk have been influenced over time (e.g., hippies and weed). They're not tearing down nations but rather, they're being used to tear them down.
3. AI—better yet, AC (advanced computing)—may be the biggest invention since the printing press, but we've mystified it and made it into something bigger than it actually is. I just wrote about that here: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/ai-is-just-computing-once-you-see
I also thought interesting that Trump agrees with Wiles -- he does have an alcoholic personality -- it is why he doesn't drink alcohol. He doesn't want to follow in his brother's footsteps. It is not the gotcha that some in the media thought.
Brown President Christina Paxson must resign. She is incompetent at best and maliciously covering up murder at worst. Under her watch, two students were killed and their murderer is still on the loose with no leads or descriptions: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/chris-paxson-brown-open-letter-ella-cook
I guarantee you, dear Yuri, they know exactly who the killer is but they don’t want to reveal his identity because he’s one of the extremist little freaks they created and lauded over and they don’t want to own it. When it doesn’t look or smell right there’s much more to the story. Plain and simple. Have a wonderful day everyone. I love you! XOXO
The more the leftists respond this way, the easier it will be for the Muslim takeover. I saw a recent video by Nate Friedman in London, and it looks like a city in the Middle East. If the left has their way, this will happen here to an even greater extent than it presently is. But most people haven’t a clue. God help us all.
She’s unaware of Brown websites being down per yesterdays presser? Facial recon can’t be applied to Browns student and employee bodies? What in the world is going on??? This is obstruction of justice - plain and simple
Old news
The first four news items in today's round are about killings. What a sign of this time.
“Nuno Loureiro, …was shot and killed at his home in Brookline on Monday night. …his death is being investigated as a murder.”
Ya think?

If Luigi is tried he walks if only one juror is a Mamdani fan boy or fan girl
Walter Kirn called it on day 1
Will they find 12 jurors (plus alternates) who don't hate or resent or have a history of some bad experiences with medical insurance companies?
Gonna be another OJ trial...?

Let's hit PolyMarket.

Just a point/ opinion:
Payroll processors as long as we understand the H2B program puts a big dent into data. Green Industry (my 40 years business) does a lot of this as does Construction.

Methinks brown likes limited cameras to protect their student activists from being identified

And I merely didn't proof read it. 😉
Well, you can click the three dots to the upper right to edit your comment at any time. But that would ruin the joke.
Damn. The students and faculty of Brown University achieved the ultimate in victimhood only, as so often happens, to be upstaged by the Jews.*
*Why, yes, this is sarcasm. Thanks for asking.
So many topics to hit on, so here we go.

Because the awakening of various sections of 'liberal London' continues at pace, Daniel Finkelstein has written an op ed about the antisemitic abuse he has experienced after confronting Fuentes on the Piers Morgan interview (he made a video about his parents which was played to Fuentes). https://www.thetimes.com/comment/columnists/article/nick-fuentes-us-politics-extremism-2hrbwpt0k or https://archive.ph/DbvAR
Starmer may have promised to defeat antisemitism in Britain, and government ministers may have rejected the opportunity to meet with those Palestine Action hunger strikers or their representatives with a flat no, but as Allison Pearson points out the appeasement of radical Islam continues. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/16/bondi-beach-jewish-massacre-allison-pearson/ or https://archive.ph/wn1lG

Sorta like being in 1,600+ of the 2,000+ JE emails. THAT story was able to last at least 36 hours.
