If some mental illnesses should be affirmed, why shouldn’t all? What’s the argument for selective affirmation?

Seems strange that record numbers of people are so eager to join the ranks of marginalized and oppressed groups by proudly identifying as members of them. Since when is oppression trendy and desirable?

Biases can lead smart people to say and believe stupid things. Stephen Hawking, for example, said the universe created itself from nothing.

Hey Jason. You make some good points, but where was your defense of humor when the NY Times was saying we capitalize on confusion and spread misinformation by not doing enough to label our jokes as jokes?

If there was ever a state where truly "not anything" existed—no time, space, matter, energy—then nothing would have ever come into existence. Out of nothing, nothing comes. It is not incredulity but logic and an understanding of causal relations that compels this conclusion.
None of us believe that anything can just pop into existence out of nothing. There's nothing fallacious about our justified certainty that a horse, or a Tesla, couldn't just pop into existence out of nothing. So why should we expect entire universes from nothing?
Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the universe has a cause.
It didn't create itself from nothing (a thing cannot precede itself to produce itself). It was created by an eternal, personal, powerful, intelligent, supernatural agent: God.

I voted in under 5 minutes in this election. It was easier than ordering Chick-fil-A. Why do Democrats think there’s no way minorities could ever figure it out?

So Biden gave loads of money to Ukraine, who gave loads of money to FTX, who gave loads of money to Democrats.
Sounds like a potentially massive scandal the media will have absolutely no interest in covering.

Good. Every teacher who vilifies white people should go, too. Racism is always bad.

They don’t get credit for knowing about child abuse for years and biting their tongue.
I say shame on them for not saying it sooner, louder, and more often.

Credit to the NYT for writing this unflinching look at how puberty blockers have been handed out to kids as young as 8 with almost no data on their safety, yet now studies are finding - surprise! - they cause all kinds of harms, including to bone density:…

I listened to Matt Walsh on Rogan and heard him speculate about the extent of it. He did not lie. And his fundamental point — which is true and with which I wholeheartedly agree — is that one child is too many.
You don’t need millions of cases to oppose this. But you’ll have millions if you don’t.

Leftists can call for violence explicitly and it's free speech. But if you so much as report the facts on a subject they consider off-limits—like drag shows for kids—then you're a terrorist inciting violence.
They'll stop at nothing to suppress speech.
