Musings is Fun & Politics — Tech is just Tech 
Legacy media elites think you’re a “village idiot” — and this week they went ahead and said it out loud. CBS’s new Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil posted a video promising to stop leaning on “advocates” and “academics or elites” and instead put the average American at the center of the broadcast, and the very people he was talking about instantly proved his point.
Bari Weiss CBS wasn’t supposed to matter this fast—but within weeks of taking over as editor-in-chief, the new boss yanked a 60 Minutes Trump deportation hit piece just hours before airtime and sent a shockwave through legacy media.
A segment built around sympathetic Venezuelan deportees inside El Salvador’s notorious CECOT mega-prison went from heavily promoted to “postponed” after Weiss ordered more reporting, more on-the-record Trump administration voices, and tougher scrutiny of a narrative that had all the fingerprints of activist television, not journalism.
Russia has spent decades as America’s persistent adversary—arming North Korea and Vietnam against U.S. troops, forming military and strategic pacts with China and Iran, and now threatening global order alongside a hostile bloc. Yet today, as Ukraine fights for its survival, Washington hesitates; Trump delays Ukraine Aid, echoing lessons the U.S. seems doomed to repeat.
Do Democrats know the difference between a “water fountain” and a “bathroom”? Apparently not, based on a shocking racist sign that appeared at the Virginia Governor Race controversy this week. A liberal protester targeted Winsome Earle-Sears, Virginia’s Black Republican Lt. Governor, with a Jim Crow-era message that exposed the Democratic Party’s ongoing hypocrisy on race. When confronted about transgender bathroom policies, this white liberal immediately reached for segregation-era tactics—proving that scratch a liberal, find a racist. The incident reveals a disturbing pattern: Democrats claim to fight racism while deploying it against Black conservatives who dare to think independently.
Zohran Mamdani appears to have won the New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary, pending ranked-choice voting tabulation expected by July 1. Mamdani’s lead is considered substantial.
Right-wing news outlets and blogosphere are upset, with some claiming, “America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.” One blog commenter responded to me, stating:
Islam is incompatible with western civilization.
My original post had been:
New York City has been a disaster for decades. Ran by Jews and/or Christians during the whole time. Personally, I don’t believe a Muslim could run it any worse.
The Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—seem locked in an endless struggle over who “owns” God. Anthropomorphism aside, it’s likely that “God” doesn’t possess human traits, which is probably a good thing for humanity.
