“NSA Is Just DAYS From Taking Over The Internet,” Edward Snowden Warns
(en Volve) “The NSA is just DAYS from taking over the internet, and it’s not on the front page of any newspaper–because no one has noticed,” Snowden said, referencing the reauthorization of FISA Section 702. “If the bill becomes law, any company or individual that provides ANY service whatsoever may be forced to assist in NSA surveillance, as long as they have access to equipment on which communications are transmitted or stored—such as routers, servers, cell towers, etc,” Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice,” commented.

New York Times Writer Doesn’t See Race— When The Alleged Criminal Is Black
(The Federalist) Ginia Bellafonte just five years ago was beside herself at how Caucasian the line-up of Rockettes dancers was, calling the performance she attended during the Christmas season “an eerie celebration of whiteness.” (‘Tis the season!) But in a painfully obtuse article this week, the New York Times columnist found nothing remarkable about the obvious racial pattern among a raft of women randomly sucker-punched by men on the streets of her own city. Namely, that the assailants are all black.
Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ Is an Explosive Warning Against a Trump Takeover
(Daily Beast) American democracy seems to be teetering on the brink of collapse, and writer/director Alex Garland exploits that feeling for unbearably despairing suspense and censure with Civil War, a vision of a near-future in which the United States is no longer united.
TERRIFYING: The True Force Behind the ‘Censorship Industrial Complex’
(Daily Signal) “What we’re up against here are not pink-haired, ambi-gendered LGBT-BLM-maximizing identitarian politics when we’re talking about censorship on the internet,” Michael Benz, a former State Department official under President Donald Trump and founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online, said Tuesday at an Oversight Project event at The Heritage Foundation.
Late-Night Panic: Biden Could Lose to Trump!
(Hollywood in Toto) Late-night television changed forever after Donald Trump descended that escalator in 2015. The left-leaning format abandoned all pretense of objectivity, turning their hosts into DNC shills. Fox News’ “Gutfeld!’ remains a sobering exception.
GOOGLE WON’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ISRAEL USING ITS PHOTO SOFTWARE TO CREATE GAZA “HIT LIST”

Shane Smith Scrambles to Save What’s Left of Vice, the Media Empire He Built – and Blew Up
(Yahoo! News) When Vice cofounder Shane Smith disappeared from public view five years ago, it seemed about time.

Ann Coulter: Too Dumb for Harvard? Lemon’s Too Dumb for Twitter
(AnnCoulter.com) Interestingly enough, Lemon himself is an affirmative action beneficiary who miraculously hung on at CNN despite committing one moronic gaffe after another (maybe he’s just got television magic!). The only CNN on-air personality to handle himself worse was Jeffrey Toobin.
TikTok needs a conservative US buyer
(Washington Examiner) On a 352-65 vote on Wednesday, the House showed unusual bipartisanship and passed a bill that would force the app to decouple from China or be banned in the United States.

Generation Z Is Completely Freaking Out Over the Possibility That TikTok Could Be Banned
(America First Report) So the fate of the platform is very much up in the air. 170 million Americans have accounts on TikTok, and 7 million small businesses use the platform.

Gina Carano on Getting Sacked From Star Wars and Her Grudge Match With Disney
(Hollywood Reporter) In late 2018, Gina Carano — a pioneering mixed martial arts champion who successfully transitioned to acting in Steven Soderbergh’s 2011 film Haywire — was blissfully staring up at the stars. They weren’t actual stars, but digital facsimiles projected onto a massive, domed screen — all part of a groundbreaking new effects technology from Industrial Light & Magic known as the Volume. Carano lived in Hermosa Beach at the time, just 15 minutes from Manhattan Beach Studios, where she was working on a top-secret sci-fi project, code name Project Huckleberry. But thanks to the Volume, she might as well have been 3 million light years away.
If We Can’t Survive ‘Civil War,’ We’re Already Doomed
(Hollywood in Toto) The two trailers for the A24 release give little away about the story in question. We know that Offerman’s president is taking a stand, Texas and California have forged an unlikely alliance and the titular “War” is far from cold.
Google’s Woke Gemini AI Underscores Threat of Big Tech Information Gatekeepers

This Gentleman Preferred Blondes: A Fascinating Exploration of Alfred Hitchcock
(American Spectator) That is, he provides detailed backgrounds of the actresses to further elucidate the director’s character. Kelly, June Howard-Tripp, Madeleine Carroll, Ingrid Bergman, Janet Leigh, Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint, and Tippi Hedren — who, collectively, starred in 14 of Hitchcock’s films — were each a manifestation of the director’s ideal woman: a beautiful, sophisticated blonde with an outward reserve but smoldering interior sensuality.

The Crisis at the New York Times
(Unz Review) We come, finally, to The New York Times. No medium in America has had further to fall in consequence of its reporting on Israel and Gaza since last October. And the once-but-no-longer newspaper of record, fairly suffocating amid its well-known hubris, falls as we speak. It has erupted, by numerous accounts including implicitly its own, in an internal uproar over reportage from Israel and Gaza so shabby—so transparently negligent—that it, like Israel, may never fully restore its reputation.
Tucker Carlson Explains Why He’s Interviewing Vladimir Putin
(PJ Media) “Most Americans are not informed,” Carlson continued. “They have no real idea what’s happening in this region — here in Russia or 600 miles away in Ukraine — but they should know. They’re paying for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive. The war in Ukraine is a human disaster. It’s left hundreds of thousands of people dead.”
