EVERGREEN HEADLINES: The Democrats Have a Communist Problem. “The milquetoast Democrats are no match for Piker and Mamdani. They don’t have any real men in the party anymore who can take them on – they’re all too frightened of the voters. They can’t Gavin Newsom their way out of this one. We’d all better hope it’s Kamala Harris and not AOC in 2028.”

More here, from Bethany Mandel: Brandon Gill’s Socratic method.
“If I wanted to yell at liberals,” he said, “I could sit behind my desk and make a video yelling at liberals.”
A congressional hearing, in his mind, serves an entirely different purpose.
“The whole West’s intellectual edifice is based on the Socratic method,” he continued. “It’s based on asking probing questions and coming to truth by asking probing and enlightening questions. A committee hearing is the perfect place to do that.”
That one sentence explains almost every viral moment Gill has had since arriving in Washington. Take the abortion hearing that made him a household name in conservative circles. The exchange wasn’t built around a rehearsed one-liner — it was built around a simple premise. If someone has dedicated decades of her professional life to defending abortion rights, shouldn’t she be willing to describe, plainly and without euphemism, the procedure she is defending?
“If you’re going to dedicate your life to defending this,” Gill recalled thinking, “tell me your favorite method.”
The question wasn’t designed simply to shock. It forced the witness to abandon abstractions and confront the concrete reality of what she was advocating. When she refused to answer, that refusal proved more revealing than any prepared statement could have.
Listening to Gill describe the exchange, it became obvious that he doesn’t think of hearings the way most members of Congress do. Many lawmakers view their five minutes as an opportunity to deliver a speech that happens to include a witness. Gill treats the witness as the point of the exercise. The hearing is valuable precisely because the person sitting across from him is under oath, the cameras are rolling, and millions of people can watch ideas tested in real time.
And they just can’t do it:

THE CRITICAL DRINKER: The Odyssey — A Disastrous Triumph. “For me, The Odyssey was an impressive, thought-provoking movie with an incredible cast made by one of the most successful directors of his age, and it’ll probably go on to rake in a lot of money and awards just like we all knew it would. But ultimately, it’s a movie I’ll probably never watch or even think about again. And that really is the most damning indictment of all.”
TO THE LEFT, NORMALITY IS A HATE CRIME:
This is the position of 70+% of Americans. It’s also common sense.
The fact that so many in the press and associated institutions treat it as something morally abhorrent and feel the need to grill a female athlete for voicing it shows how disconnected they are from reality. https://t.co/Xfb4geW3xU

Full story:
A group calling itself a “conservative social movement” against AI data centers enlisted Green Party figures, a transgender congressional candidate, a Democratic state legislative candidate and progressive activist organizations to run its nationwide protests — all while positioning itself as a grassroots right-wing uprising against Trump’s AI buildout.
Humans First, chaired by Tea Party co-founder and Jan. 6 rally organizer Amy Kremer, claimed to rally conservatives on July 18 with 142 protests across 42 states. But a Fox News Digital review of the group’s own protest pages found organizers including an Illinois Green Party chapter that supports impeaching Trump, a Georgia group founded to resist Trump’s agenda and protect “diversity, equity & justice,” and a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation as a featured speaker.
The group’s startup capital came via a loan from the Center for AI Safety, a San Francisco nonprofit whose staffers appear on Humans First’s incorporation documents.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find CCP money in there, too.
