    Debunking the Absurd 'Immigrants Eating Pets' Conspiracy | A Modern Moral Panic

    Internet sleuths have been known to solve the coldest of cold cases, produce family members that were previously unknown to one another, and catch cheaters in real time - yet despite the majority of Republican media being intensely focused on the matter for the past week, right-wing conspiracy theorists have yet to come up with ONE credible case of an immigrant eating a pet in Ohio. But despite zero proof this is happening, and overwhelming evidence it isn't, conservatives are refusing to let it go. Why is that? America has a long history of moral panics, lynch mobs, and attacking the culinary customs of new populations.

    Diversity vs. Merit: The Uncomfortable Truth Behind the Affirmative Action Numbers

    It’s been a little over a year since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action, the race-conscious policy that governed college admissions for decades. In the case, Asian students argued that Harvard and UNC admissions discriminated against them and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Court agreed. Now, the enrollment numbers for the first year without affirmative action in charge are trickling in, and as predicted, Black and Hispanic numbers dropped while Asian acceptance rates went up. But that leaves us with the uncomfortable question: why do some demographics perform so much better than others academically? Here to help me unpack this week, AEI Fellow Ian Rowe!

    Is Scott Peterson Innocent? Unpacking the New Evidence

    It’s been almost two decades since Scott Peterson was convicted and sentenced to death row for the murder of his wife Laci and their unborn child Conner. But while public opinion was overwhelmingly stacked against him at the time of her disappearance, the years have unearthed new information in the trial that are leading many to question his guilt.

    The British and Big Brother Are Coming for Elon Musk!

    The British are rioting over immigration and their government is responding by...stalking their social media accounts, arresting them for free speech, and threatening Elon Musk. It's official, they've finally gone full Big Brother as their son George Orwell predicted years ago in 1984. First they take the guns, then they shut down free speech - it's a full fledge free fall into a dystopian nightmare from there. In reality, social media, technology, and free speech aren't responsible for the riots. Piss poor policies are, and it's a cycle we've seen repeat time after time historically.

    I respond to Jubilee Media's WILD attempt to fact check my debate

    I joined  @jubilee  for my second debate appearance this summer - this time the topic was gun control. Given my background working extensively on gun rights, mental health, and criminal justice reform, it was a debate I was excited to join and actually find "middle ground" on - the title of the series. But unlike my first debate appearance with them, this time Jubilee's production attempted to pull a seat up in the debate and join the argument in the editing process. They included numerous stats and "fact checks" that were either completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, or even worse, were studies with such bad methodologies they've become a running joke. Honestly, if their producers wanted to debate me...I would have been happy to do so. But this was a cheap trick - and since so many Americans are never taught how to actually read data, it seems many in their audience are falling for their attempt to discredit very solid statistics. So join me as I yet again have to fact check the fact checkers in this behind the scenes reaction to the final product.

    Draft Dodging Isn't Bad...

    Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz is getting trounced by the Trump camp and right-wing media for taking an early retirement from the National Guard and refusing to deploy to the Iraq War. But these criticisms ignore the fact that Trump himself was a draft dodger, that the Iraq War was horribly unjust and he would have been right to get out of it, and the changing American perception on war and the draft in general. But while Walz is being accused of stolen valor, his stance on free speech ironically MAJORLY misses a massive SCOTUS case on the same issue - in which the courts emphatically agreed that misinformation IS free speech. Plus, the commies in the Biden Administration finally get an antitrust win against Google in a ruling that will likely have collassel consequences on our economy, our market, consumers, and our legal apparatus.

    Paris Olympics REFUSES Athletes A/C

    The Paris Olympics refused to provide the athletes air conditioning and quality food - all in the name of climate change. What makes the situation all the more ridiculous is how little of a difference any of these things even make on the climate. Plus the Senate passes AWFUL trojan horse legislation known as KOSA (kids online safety act) that they claim protects kids, but will actually endanger them while giving bureucrats the power to censor you online. The Biden Admin responds to the BASEDPolitics lawsuit over the TikTok ban in a hilarious fashion. And Fauci gets caught lying to Congress AGAIN.

    Republicans say childless Americans should have fewer rights

    Republicans love to claim they're the part of "family values" and that they're the true constitutionalists in the room. But this week their messaging revealed their true colors like never before. From JD Vance saying childless people should have less of a say in our political system, to his bizarre claim that childless cat ladies are running the country, to his insinuation that Kamala Harris' role as a step parent was less than and not real parenting - the GOP VP nominee has been a walking clown show all on his own. But he's been joined by others in his party who have attacked LGBTQ familes, plus a large number of Republican Senators who are working to give socialists at the FTC and "experts" at the CDC the ability to tell parents how their kids can use the internet. 70 Senators have signed onto this legislation, known as KOSA, that not only strips parents of their rights, it also allows the government to censor free speech online and collect massive amounts of data that put all of our futures and privacy at risk. All in all, Republicans just had their most anti-family week of all time
