SOCIAL MEDIA MANIPULATION IS DONE IN REALTIME:

More:

Who amplified it? Look at the coalition:

Russian state TV (RT).
Iranian state media through HispanTV.
Hamas-aligned Quds News Network.
Turkish state broadcaster TRT.
Sputnik Brasil.

And simultaneously — Jackson Hinkle, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal.

Russia, Iran, Hamas, and MAGA dissidents.

All posting the same message. At the same time.

When does that happen naturally? It doesn’t.

The charts tell the story precisely. Within 2 to 4 hours of the Tucker broadcast, tracked amplification events spiked to 30 — dominated by MAGA dissident amplifiers and Pro-Palestinian/Islamist networks firing in parallel.

How many of these grifters’ “fans” are nothing but bots paid for by Moscow and Islamic radicals?

SHARKS GOTTA SWIM, BATS GOTTA FLY: Another Day Ending in Y: JAMA Publishes Still More Anti-Gun Agitprop Presented as ‘Research.’ “Now, if a peer-reviewed medical journal founded in 1883, which is published 48 times a year and read by physicians across the country and around the globe, takes Professor Hicks’ scribbles and calls them actual research without labeling his work as opinion or anti-gun agitprop, that’s not a problem either, is it?”

Yeah, our public health industry hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory in recent years.

VDH ON IRAN: The Signals Are All Pointing In The Same Direction.

The military signal. A-10 Warthogs and Apache helicopter gunships are now flying strike missions in Iranian airspace at will. VDH’s point: you only deploy those aircraft when there is effectively no air defense left to threaten them. They are slow, low-flying, close-support platforms. Their presence confirms what the Pentagon has been claiming — Iran has no meaningful air defense remaining.

Iran’s strategy now is rope-a-dope. Run out the clock. Wait for American public opinion to shift. Hope the midterms create political pressure on Trump to stop. It is the only play they have left.

VDH’s conclusion: if Trump sees it through — and he believes he will — the regime falls. Not in years. Pretty soon.

Read the whole thing.

SO WE HAVE THAT GOING FOR US, WHICH IS NICE: China Not Committed to 2027 Taiwan Invasion, U.S. Intel Report Says. “The intelligence community’s latest assessment reverses course on predictions from Pacific-based U.S. military leadership that has shaped battleforce strategy for the past six years.”

I suspect Beijing might be reassessing things in recent months, too.

PRIORITIES: Pittsburgh Public Schools earn poor marks for NFL draft closure.

In an email to district staff, Superintendent Wayne Walters said students will shift to remote learning for three days to minimize disruption and keep the focus on instruction. The NFL draft, taking place in downtown Pittsburgh, is expected to draw as many as 700,000 visitors, according to the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership.

Pittsburgh Public Schools operates 54 schools that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Only one of those schools is located in the city core, while most are miles from the event. With a total enrollment of around 20,000 students, the decision affects not only students but also caregivers and the students at 136 private, parochial, and charter schools who rely on the district for transportation.

The district has to reschedule the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment testing to later dates that have not been released due to the closure of in-person learning.

In a news release Tuesday, Waters said the district’s priority is maintaining continuity of learning while recognizing the extraordinary circumstances the city will experience during the NFL draft.

Pretty sure we learned during the stupid COVID lockdowns that remote learning is BS.
