Mind Games: How They Play Us; Part III — You’re Not as Smart as You Think: The Psychology of Being Easily Played (and the Way Out) Here’s where we get honest: The biggest vulnerability in this whole system isn’t the internet. It isn’t Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Congress, or the Russians. It’s your brain. You are …
Jim Friedlich is Chief Executive Officer and executive director of the Leftist, oops, sorry, Lenfest Institute for Journalism, the nonprofit organization that owns what I have sometimes called The Philadelphia Enquirer¹. In Wednesday morning’s newspaper, he is “Giving thanks — and offering up a prayer — for America’s free press: On this, more than any …
Social media took human beings — once capable of nuance, friendship, and healthy disagreement — and shoved us back into warring tribes like it’s 10,000 BC and someone stole the mammoth meat.

I used to think I was just a regular guy, going about my life, as President Lincoln once said: “with malice toward none and charity for all.” Boy, was I wrong.
PiggyGate is more navel-gazing by a press that considers itself to be a powerful force of nature when the Wite House press corps is really a joke. The press puts itself in the category of the politicians in DC, a protected species.
We all know the iconic photo: an old Union veteran in blue shaking hands with a Confederate in gray at the 1913 Gettysburg reunion. It’s become the symbol of forgiveness — proof that America “healed” fifty years after the Civil War. But the truth underneath it is far more complicated.
Historical myths say that Lucrezia Borgia was a seductive poisoner who carried a hollow ring filled with venom, hosted orgiastic banquets, and eliminated lovers and rivals at will—an archetypal 16th-century Renaissance “femme fatale.”
When did violence become excusable? I’m still waiting for someone to tell me. The left is on the verge of really melting down here and Portland is ground zero for the fight that can finish it. It needs to be pressed.

Taylor Swift began as the embodiment of the “girl next door” myth — poetic, wide-eyed, a guitar and a journal full of heartbreaks.
Our good friends on the left spent much of the Biden Administration years telling us what Senator Dick Durbin did in a tweet pictured to the right, telling us that no one is above the law. Letitia James said the same thing, many times, in her witch hunt against then-former President Trump, yet, today, she’s …
The news media have lost credibility at an alarming rate, and confidence that the news is being impartially reported has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history.
Kane at Citizen Free Press headlined a link to a story about Bari Weiss trying to recruit new on-air personalities “CBS wants to be the new Fox News.” Of course. Who wouldn’t want the ratings of Fox News?
The myth of Antifa (indigenous, widespread, spontaneous, non-violent, etc.) has been endlessly propagated by its supporters, including tenured university-level academics, teachers union bosses, globalists, leftwing billionaires
The last change to the White House was Obama converting a tennis court into a basketball court. It was part of $376 million in changes at the White House made by Obama. Taxpayers paid for his customizing of the People’s House.
I did Nazi this coming. In January, Democrats were up in arms over Pete Hegseth’s chest tattoo. Democrats swore it was a swastika. Nope, it was the Jerusalem Cross:
