Jazz Detective - A Noir Detective Film in 3 minutes. Some people think the Jazz Detective is a better musician than detective. He is nobody's fool. He leverages his musical connections to help solve crimes in the sordid underbelly of America's greatest city.

When randos quibble over the exact definition of “commies” it’s like an Eskimo having a hundred words for snow. To normal people it’s just snow. “But I’m a Democratic Socialist!” Nobody cares what subclass of authoritarian mooch collectivist asshole Marxist you are. You all suck.
They really aren’t communists though are they. The Amish are probably more communist with their rigid hierarchy and communal work than the democrats. People waving flags and wearing a Che t-shirt then working a normal job to pay the mortgage are not impacting anything

Walter Kirn: “Everything that happens before the election is a PSYOP. Everything that happens, the polling, the rumors, the word of mouth, the social media posts, the trends, the little anecdotes that get repeated and go viral. Everything is subordinate to that election. And none of it is true in and of itself. It’s all instrumental.” “Not only don’t I trust the polls, I do trust the polls. I trust them to be nudging people in all the ways that polls can for all the people who can pay for polls.” “The news now is all about behavior modification. It’s not about truth.”

Please take a moment to read. Sometime soon I'll be releasing a report detailing the medical records from a detransitioner, showing direct evidence of the healthcare fraud scheme the DOJ has been investigating. Records like this have never been made public. This is a continuation of the work I did as a co-author of the HHS report Wolves in White Coats, where we documented the mountain of publicly available evidence demonstrating this proxy diagnosis fraud scheme in gender clinics across the country. This report will show the most direct evidence: actual medical records. Because these medical records provide such clear evidence of criminality, establishment forces have done everything in their power to prevent Trump's DOJ from obtaining them. Without these medical records, gender doctors remain effectively immune from serious consequence (i.e. prison) I believe that if the public can see the records themselves, that protection becomes much more difficult to defend. The evidence is simply too shocking, the criminality too flagrant, the harm truly incalculable. Even though Trump's DOJ has secured major victories - six civil settlements with major children’s hospitals - this punishment ultimately does not fit the crime. This goal of this report is to help ensure that one day it does. This will be the first in what I plan to be a series of reports, to be released on X, outlining detransitioner records from multiple clinics across the country, all employing the same fraud scheme against public and private insurers.

As you may have noticed, NASA is my first love when it comes to aviation, and that will always be true. So catching the X-59 QueSST at NAS JRB Fort Worth today is something extremely special. This is my first time catching an X-plane! The X-59 is an experimental aircraft developed by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works for NASA to test quiet sonic booms. It completed its first flight on October 28, 2025, making today the one-year anniversary of its first flight. How fitting to catch it on such a special day! @rookisaacman @NASAAdmin @LockheedMartin

Ludwig von Mises was born 145 years ago today. Here’s what the Austrian economist had to say about socialism: “The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.”

Behold the incredible predictive power of prediction markets.
Giving white libs access to bet their kid’s college funds on whatever new leftist fever dream comes up has been a disaster

My wife teaches English at a high school in Japan. Last week, she gave her students a writing prompt: "If you could be American for one day, what would you do?" She read me the answers at dinner. She had to stop three times because she was laughing too hard. "Own a pickup truck. I don't need a truck. I just want to say, 'Don't worry, I'll grab the truck.'" "Have a garage. Not for a car. For 'stuff.'" "Buy 48 rolls of toilet paper at Costco. I live with my parents. I want them anyway." "Get a free refill. Then another one. Then another one. Until they ask me to leave. They won't ask me to leave." "Water my lawn at 6 a.m. in a bathrobe and wave at my neighbor." "Call my teacher 'dude.'" (My wife underlined this one. Twice.) "Hang a flag on my house for no reason. Just because it's Tuesday." And a lot of them wrote some version of this: "Tell my dad I love him. Out loud. At the dinner table." Then she had the class vote for the best answer. The winner wasn't funny. It came from the funniest kid in the class. The truck kid. "Stand up when the anthem plays, put my hand on my heart, and look around and see everybody else doing it too." My wife asked him why he picked that one. He shrugged. "Because then you're never proud alone."

"over 1,000 medieval scribes have joined the Association for Human Manuscripts, pledging to never use the printing press or work with Gutenberg 654 have gone even further, promising to never read a printed book"
Wow, over 1,000 mathematicians have now joined the Association for Human Mathematics (AHM), committing to: > NOT publish AI generated math papers > NOT work with frontier labs > 654 of them went even further to NOT even use AI in their research, at all

It is illegal for noncitizens to vote or register to vote. Don't risk it.
🗳️🚨 Today, the Justice Department announced charges involving 48 ALIENS in Pennsylvania, California, Florida, New York, and Nevada in connection with illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and related election crimes. The cases include voting by aliens in federal elections and false claims of U.S. citizenship to register to vote or to vote. Read more about EACH election crime case here: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

The sad reality is Fascism historically was, as a large factor, born out of urban dwelling ex-military, rank and file soliders dealing with a huge military losses and total disenfranchisement. It was particularly popular with officers who bore the brunt of having to shoulder the humiliation of representing the establishment. Here in 2026 the exact same formula brews: artists and technical mediators, mostly the PMC of media who went to university to access the jobs and paid dearly (and are in debt), are hysterical confronting the reality that they aren't going to be the managers and gatekeepers anymore. Their instituitions have failed them and they are forlorn- and it's the DSA and the DNC that are targeting their anger. Left fascism will be ultimately reactionary: focused on preventing the removal of the fetters on production. These people will go to war to protect their senicures on completely unproductive rents rather than be proletarianized.

This graph indicates the vote shift in Brazil once a court got involved. Coincidentally, it also shows the exact moment when the Left pretends they don’t understand an extreme statistical anomaly.
