Yes, lists are the way to go. I follow zero other accounts so my feed is empty. But I have several private lists that so far remain unpolluted by the algorithms. It also helps by keeping different areas of interest separated which is easier on my brain.

Holy thread drift, Batman!

Former AG Barr: There will be no FBI accountability after Russiagate debacle

This article is very long, but is a good summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on the Mueller investigation: https://www.lawfareblog.com/collusion-reading-diary-what-did-senate-intelligence-committee-find There are also links directly to the senate report, which is a good read. [clipp...

But you said that Trump’s Deep State team (with nobody on it, apparently) was now 0-2. Based on your link, that would refer to the Durham investigation. Were you referring to something else? Because I’m not sure Durham or Barr were on Trump’s team at all. It’s possible that they were more concerned...

Who do you think is on “Trump’s Deep State Team”? Should we just casually dismiss the FBI’s transgressions? Nobody now, but rest assured the deep state's actions are driven by the politicos not the peons. If one hates the deep state and think it's a Democrat only thing I laugh heartily in your face...

Trump's Deep State team not doing so well where things like facts and evidence matter. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63305382 0 for 2. Waiting for the right wing outrage on behalf of Mr. Danchenko. For sure though...2015-2017 were not good years for the FBI. As I've said many times on th...

This is a lengthy but interesting article that describes what has happened to the US intelligence apparatus since 9/11. It helps explain (as background info) some of the issues involved in recent threads regarding Hunter Biden, the Deep State, Russia collusion, and others but deserves its own thread...

My cynical hot take on this: It's actually a coverup to protect Joe Biden. The DOJ will limit the investigation to Hunter, charge him with something relatively minor, proclaim "case closed", and declare any objections as thoroughly debunked wild conspiracy theories. That way they get to s...

I've been wondering the same thing about when it's time to load up. All of the assets move up and down, and bonds are clearly down. And by loading up, I really just mean bringing bonds back to 20% (I run a GB and I'm a bit low). It seems that The Fed hasn't damaged the economy enough yet, so there m...

Because I did want to see what the two of you were referring to that required me to keep scrolling in the 11 or so pages of posts in this topic in an attempt to locate MangoMan's response to see exactly what he was responding to. If you click the little up arrow to the right of “MangoMan wrote:” it...

I worked at a grocery store when I was in high school. I used to love rounding up carts because it was something different and it got me out of the store for a little while. So don't deprive someone of a little bit of joy by returning your cart. Just another perspective. That said, I always return m...

Alternate approach: give them $250 to put in a Robinhood account and just let them have at it. We are talking about a 19 year old after all.

My son did that on his own at 18 and learned some lessons that were worth far more than $250 in the long run. Helped that he was using his own money though.

Regarding the FAFSA: if the parents have too much income, there won’t be any financial aid anyway. And it’s not that hard to get to that point.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Concerning early treatment options like ivermectin, everyone just has to decide to do what's right for them. Read as many studies (and critiques of those studies) as you can stomach, but realize that there can be a lot of factors that can skew the results such as: dosage, combination with other trea...

Doesn't the strength of the US dollar factor into all of this? I recently read that it's up 14% in 2022 and is at its highest level in 20 years compared to other currencies.

But the "experts" and the government told us it was okay.

Bringing it back to Trump, he doesn't drink, so there's that.

For anyone interested, it might be worth reading some articles at The Federalist and following some of their contributors on Twitter for a while. I'm sure you will find some kooky articles or opinions you vehemently disagree with, but it will be up to you to dismiss them individually or declare the ...
