IT ALSO HELPS THAT HE SECRETLY WANTS TO BE DUPED:
Nick Kristof doesn't think Palestinians lie to him because he thinks he is above them and is incapable of being duped by a poor. It's a common theme in Western parroting of third world lies.

All the other "journalists" know it's bullshit. All of them. They know.
Notice the absolute silence. Notice how they're not all out there condemning what Kristoff did.
All in service to the cause. No matter how vile.

HE CAN’T GO TOO SOON: Dead Starmer Walking? “The Mirror‘s current count has at least 75 Labour MPs calling for Starmer’s ouster from Number 10 Downing Street. While far short of a majority, it does show that there seems to be no fear of of declaring opposition to Starmer, which suggests he’s in a perilously weak position. And in truth, it’s hard to think of any leaders bouncing back from such an electoral disaster.”

CAN I TELL MYSELF TO BUY GOGGLE IN 2004: Physicists say it’s possible to send messages to the past.
A FEMALE FRIEND COMMENTS, “IF I LOOKED LIKE HER THERE WOULD BE NOT CLOTHES EVER!” ‘Euphoria’ faces backlash after Sydney Sweeney’s most X-rated episode yet.
I haven’t watched a single episode, but from what I hear this season’s writing sucks, and Sydney Sweeney is the only reason to watch. Sounds plausible. But I feel like the writers, or at least Sydney, have their fingers on the nation’s pulse:
An off-camera voice responds, “You sound like a Democrat.” Cassie laughs before replying with a derogatory slur: “I’m not r——-.”
In another clip, Cassie adds, “I just feel like American men have been treated like second-class citizens.”
“In the past, men used to be hunters, gatherers, and protectors. Now, they’re being forced to walk around on their tippy toes. It’s not natural,” she continues.
You could write a book on that.

ALEXANDER MUSE: Captain Kelly Strikes Again, The Benedict Arnold Arc Reaches Its Predictable Final Chapter.
Last November I argued in these pages that Senator Mark Kelly had crossed a structural threshold that earlier American history identified with one name, Benedict Arnold. The comparison was not designed for shock. It was designed to isolate a pattern. A decorated warrior earns public trust, then spends that trust against the lawful authority of the nation that conferred it. Kelly had recorded a vertical TikTok video, in coordination with five colleagues, instructing junior enlisted troops that the Commander in Chief was issuing illegal orders and that disobedience was a duty. I called that an opening move in a domestic color revolution. Many readers thought the framing was too strong.
Yesterday on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Senator Kelly removed any remaining doubt.
Read the whole thing.

200 satellites is roughly eight Falcon 9 launches for Starlink — or about three weeks’ worth of missions at SpaceX’s current cadence.

MEMORY-HOLED FOR BACKDATED WRONGTHINK: Swarthmore scrubs professor’s name from hall due to ‘Indigenous grave excavation’.
Swarthmore College plans to unveil new names for its former Trotter Hall and Trotter Lawn this fall after campus leaders discovered that their namesake, natural history Professor Spencer Trotter, excavated a Native American grave site and removed human remains.
President Val Smith plans to review the renaming taskforce’s recommendations, submitted last week, and announce a final decision about the names in the fall, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Taskforce Chair Cat Norris told the Swarthmore Phoenix that the recommendations are based on feedback from the community as well as research to ensure the new names are not problematic.
“It turns out individuals are really complicated,” Norris told the student newspaper. “Their histories have been really complicated.”
You’re supposed to understand — and develop the ability to cope with — people being “really complicated” before you go to college.

DAILY MAIL GOT THIS HEADLINE ALL WRONG: Netanyahu’s shock plot to split with US as Trump’s Iran peace proposal unravels sending oil prices soaring.
Benjamin Netanyahu plans to ‘wean’ Israel off American financial support, just as Donald Trump’s Iran peace proposal unravels and oil prices surge.
The Israeli prime minister was pressed on the financial support his country receives from the US during an interview with CBS News anchor Major Garrett on Sunday.
‘Do you believe it’s time for the state of Israel to reexamine and possibly reset its financial relationship to the United States?’ Garrett asked, to which Netanyahu responded, ‘Absolutely.’
‘And I’ve said this to President Trump. I’ve said it in – to our own people. Their jaws drop,’ the leader continued. ‘I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have.’
This isn’t a “split” from the US, but how Israel will maintain freedom of action the next time an anti-Israel Biden or Obama takes office.
