Biden DNI Pick Avril Haines Raises Eyebrows
"Doing some research on this Avril Haines person. Who apparently is the one that had the back and forth with Tom cotton. And The Guardian, The Guardian, averill Haines is unusual backstory makes her an unlikely chief for U.S. intelligence. Oh, really? And so then somebody sends this to me. The former plane enthusiast lawyer at judo belt owned a cafe that staged erotica nights and worked for president Obama, what you're trying to say the erotica knights ended up working for Obama. I think this is grammatically a little bit too close. So I don't know what the hell it erotica night is. I Googled it. And it said you need to turn your safe search off in order to do that. I'm not doing that. I don't even know what it is. And so then apparently in the article it explains it that this woman who's now running DNI bought brothels, though she bought she opened a cafe in a formal brothel and then returned and then returned it to a brothel. She's running the head of the DNI. She says, quote, erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex. Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying with the erotic offers is spontaneity twists and turns and it affects everybody. This woman is a freak. She should not be in our government. So when I say the Biden administration has a team of freaks I mean it is really strange.

"Seattle has become the first U.S. city to ban cast discrimination.

Raheem Kassam Weighs In on the Pence Document Discovery
"We think about the Pence discovery of documents? We actually haven't talked about this yet today. It was the breaking news yesterday. What's your take on this? Yeah, I did a I did a short podcast on my substack, there's my little plug for that. Yesterday, when this happened, not least because of course, Mike Pence had already gone out there and said, no, I would never do this. I've never done this and then sure enough, you know, transparent that he had. And that's interesting enough in and of itself. I'm not sure why you would voluntarily offer that information if it were if it were false or you knew in some way that it would fall. So odd as far as that's concerned. But the bigger picture about all of this is and you mentioned the polyp bureau earlier. And I think that's a really great word to use as far as the Washington D.C. set is concerned because what are they really trying to do here Vis-à-vis declassification? The trying to make it seem and you've already seen the op eds, The Guardian, The New York Times, I've read one in The Boston Globe as well. Yesterday. The declassification process is so dated and we shouldn't have to rely on these old men to not steal documents away from whichever government department or whatever part of Congress that they had ever worked in. And that everything is basically too old and white and pale and stale. And what we really need is a committee driven approach to this, right? Which they mean a polyp bureau driven approach to this. The people like Alexander vindman should really be in charge of this the national security apparatus in D.C. should decide what gets declassified. Well, what happens, Charlie, if the national security apparatus is in charge of releasing information pertaining to the national security apparatus? Will they hide their malfeasance? That's what happens. I think that's the broader brush stroke here that they are trying to subsume power away from the commander in chief. So

James Cameron's 'Avatar' Is Accused of "cultural Appropriation"
"The lengths, the woke army, is going to these days. It's so annoying. And more so because all it takes is one loudmouth on Twitter and then more and more people catch on in a way we go. One person on Twitter said, Cameron is accused of stealing themes, history and imagery from Native American and indigenous cultures for his latest blockbuster. The sequel to the 2009 hit avatar is about colonizers who attempt to take the land of native people. In Cameron's version, humans have been forced off earth due to its dwindling resources. Much like the first flick, the movie has a predominantly all white cast playing the fictional na'vi aliens. And Zoe Saldana is not in this movie. And I love during the first one, didn't love the movie, but I liked watching Zoe Saldana. I like her. She's good. Some Native American influencers named UA big gay, I think I'm saying it right. BE GAY is really speaking out against the new avatar. Do not want avatar. The way of the water, he's also the chair of indigenous pride LA. See, these are the kind of guys who have nothing to do all year. They've been plotting and waiting for the new avatar to come out. And now they have something to do. Now they have an agenda. And he's telling people, join natives and other indigenous groups around the world and boycotting his horrible and racist film. Brigade also said that indigenous cultures were appropriated a harmful manner to satisfy a white man's savior complex. He also referred to the 2010 interview that the Cameron gave to The Guardian in which he revealed that the he went to Brazil and visited the jingu people of the Amazon, a trip that made him reflect on the experiences of North American Indians and ultimately inspired him to make the first Avatar film. And after release of that film in 2009, the term blueface became shorthand in alleging the avatar universes appropriation and the implication there was that the franchises representation of the na'vi as Native Americans carried the same racist undertones associated with blackface or yellow face and I don't like Cameron, but at least he said the right thing he fired back. Listen, avatars and science fiction retelling of the history of North and South America in the early colonial period. It's very pointedly made reference to the colonial period in the Americas with all its conflicts and bloodshed between the military aggressors from Europe and the indigenous peoples. Europe equals earth, the Native Americans are the na'vi, it's not meant to be subtle.

My own strong suggestion. If i may to media present and not present is repeating them in public actually just gives them credence which they don't need and as we've gone through the summer where there is enough immunity that people consider behave more or less as they were before without the sky falling in.

"Most central question is is the energy out of this or a sense of deflation and defeat. There is not a sense of defeat. There's a sense of a very acute anger. As i wrote for the guardian. This has been something that pro choice activists have been saying is going to happen for for quite some time And there has not been a commiserate sort of Enthusiasm for expanding abortion rights or commensurate urgency in the sense of of how dire. This problem is from the democratic leadership. You say will they. Galvanize people to vote for democrats and i gotta tell you pro choice. Activists feels like they've been getting out the vote for democrats they've been getting out the vote for these liberal politicians and those politicians have not fulfilled their promises. And this is the result of. I suppose whether whether you detect any sense in the country at large for thinking a question like this as serious as abortion rights shouldn't be determined by nine judges in washington but actually needs to move out of the legal sphere and move into politics and become an issue decided democratically elected politicians. He's anyone making that argument. Yes there are several commentators and growing popular sense that the power vested into the court is simply too much for nine individual people who cannot be either promoted or fired from their jobs and have very little way to be held accountable and there's a growing awareness of the counter majoritarian institutions in the united states of unfairness of the court of the anti-democratic nature of the senate And there is growing discontent with the way.

"I mean that's a difficult position for president to be into sort of turn on the voters and start saying you. The people are getting this wrong but in a way maybe what do you think. Jesse would that be. Effective him to start actually pointing the presidential finger wagging the presidential finger at those people who just aren't getting vaccinated. I mean i think based on his speech last week he's beginning to do some of that have to die. Read the news you see stories about unvaccinated patients hospital to people who are outright refusing. Because they're worried about for example their individual liberties so he argued that liberties come with responsibilities last week. And so i don't think that totally opposed to that. But i think he also recognizes that it's more complicated and him beginning to lane the unvaccinated for example which i don't think is helpful. Rhetoric holds the potential to have a backlash. You know who's the group did they most want to get vaccinated really young people as well. So they're doing things like reaching out. The white house is reaching out to tech talk influencers to get them to try and talk about vaccines on their social media channels. And that i think is what's going to win the game here just your very precise scientists scientific person but i'm gonna ask your gut instinct. What does your gut say about this. Do you think. Joe biden pulls this off and turns it around and manages to reach those people who so far have not vaccinated or is that number going to stay stubbornly low. What's your gut unscientific instinct. Such a difficult question. We're not going to reach the end of the pandemic in the way that we expect to. And what i mean by that is. I suspect we're going to be in this interstitial period where there's some new shoots of normal coming up at the same time as we see new cases happening and were sort of in the pandemic still for the next year getting people vaccinated but that is going to be. I think a real slog. It's gonna be slow progress. But i have a lot of hope based on this vaccine and i'm hopeful we will. We will get there eventually. But it's it's not going to be easy.

"He stepped back from that justice pretty extraordinary. Isn't it that the in any other circumstance the government would be saying. We won't give into whatever it might be protests or terrorism. Or whatever you know. Usually the line would be. This absolutely won't change. Anything won't change our lives. It seems pretty extraordinary. Doesn't it to hear it being used as as a justification for the fact that things aren't working yeah absolutely. I think what katie said. His is really important. I think the uk government there is a sense that it has been slightly fighting the flames of some of the objections to the protocol for its own purpose because fundamentally article sixteen is almost one of the very few tools. The uk government's disposal. It knows that it signed up to this legal obligation through the protocol. It's very hard to get amped of international treaties. Even if you claim that it was your predecessor that got you there. So i think it's really having up some of these problems in order to justify the use of of article sixteen. There's a question of whether it will go there. I mean the government actually did acknowledge in the command paper itself that article sixteen wasn't a sustainable solution. But fundamentally unilateral action is is never going to get us to a stable state and despite you know as well as katie saying about the kind of problems that that creates in in northern ireland. It's also probably not going to get them to where they want to be. And so i think they need to be very careful about what they're saying on this done. How much difference do you think it made. When michael grove who was involved in the talks replaced by david frost. It did make a huge difference a very different take. I mean he was fundamentally opposed to the best parts of the withdrawal agreements and he's taking a very belligerent attitude at c. Two from the start and his relationship is is is a very different carrots to michael goes. Well he isn't someone who easily behold relationships and he quite likely thinks he thinks them in the relationship with the european union. That's good there's a grit in there. He thinks that the eu's neighbors all too often. Forty plants and get rolled over and the u. k. e. relationship lonely work if the uk's quite all the time and and that way they'll they'll get some wins along the way. I think some of the blame for where we're at. The moment has to be on his head and that does potentially suggests there might be you know he at least might take quite a competent reproach into the autumn. You know perhaps speaks to using obstacle sixteen dollars. You say you suspect the you side would try not to make it sort of blow up into a big sort of trait will on is really difficult..
