When is a "search engine" NOT a search engine... lol. It hasn't been for a long time.
Have to know how to manipulate it or just skip to page 3 of results (may be further back than that now).

Precisely why telling someone to "google it" is pretty ridiculous. Duck Duck Go isn't much better anymore other than for the privacy thing. They're weighting searches just as bad as any of the others.
Tariffs; i.e., higher taxes on the common man. Ugh.
"... the Trump mini-boom was tempered by the economic uncertainty and costs of his tariffs that hit friendly nations and adversaries alike. These included 25% duties on steel and 10% on aluminum, as well as levies on washing machines, solar panels and an array of Chinese goods that raised costs for U.S. businesses and consumers. “Tariff man” forgot about the common man.
The Tax Foundation estimated that the Trump tariffs cost American households more than $625 annually. A 2019 study by Fed economists looked at two waves of trade policy “shock,” first in 2018 and then in the first half of 2019, and estimated the impact reduced GDP growth by about one percentage point. Tariffs contributed to the slowing economy and business investment late in 2019, which then plunged at the onset of the pandemic.
Mr. Trump and Congress responded to Covid with a $2 trillion relief bill, which was perhaps understandable given the panic in March 2020. But after shutting down the economy on the advice of Anthony Fauci, Mr. Trump too easily went along with Democratic spending priorities, including enhanced unemployment benefits that paid workers more not to work.
He also unilaterally extended Congress’s short-term student loan payment pause and eviction moratorium on dubious legal authority, which set the stage for Mr. Biden to do so repeatedly. In December Mr. Trump prodded Congress to spend another $900 billion, which was counterproductive as the economy was fast recovering. Mr. Trump is no fiscal conservative, and one risk during a second term is that Democrats cajole him into expanding entitlements, especially if there’s a recession.
Mr. Trump’s plans for the second term are unclear and sometimes contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to extend the 2017 tax rates that expire at the end of 2025. This is a big advantage over President Biden. But Mr. Trump is also proposing a 10% tariff on all imports that the Tax Foundation says would shrink the economy by 1.1% and threaten more than 825,000 U.S. jobs."

Vetting someone for their views in a job interview is wrong (illegal?) unless those views impact performance of what the job is such as a political job.
I asked here "do we know for sure that the shooter is dead" 3 days ago. I haven't seen any pictuers of a dead shooter other than some guys standing over him. They looked pretty casual over him, which seemed weird since there would have been brain matter all over the place. The whole thing is sickening.

Interesting, but it also depends on how he was hit, the type of bullet, and the conditions at the scene. Not the blood you would expect to see, for sure, and the quickness with which it turns from brown to red was not evidenced in photos I saw of the body before it was removed from the scene. Still bright red much later than it should've been, if the "reported" time the photos were taken was accurate.
The reactions this whole scene elicited are the most telling and valuable at this point, regardless of what happened. Truly revealed the sickness of so many.
Her last three words "I don't know" sum up her entire career but particularly this subject. She's a fecking moron.
Like the quote on that sign. Speaking of Maddow and MSNBC:
Truly is the land of racism and white privilege.
There will be an initial new face/change bump. It will go away as soon as they open their mouth.
My guess is because some of Bidens dirty laundry will be tied to Obama.
Same here. 'Cut the cord' many years ago. Sad thing is is that all these streaming platforms (except maybe a few and the faith based ones) are just as bad. All you have to do is look at their programming 'categories' and commercials. But I'm with ya.
Was getting ready to same the same thing. Don't know what changed or who owns DuckDuckGo, but it's no better these days. Click on 'news' on the results page and it's all left wing news, magazines, etc.
The executive class gutted what was left of the real "press" over 20yrs from the 90s onward. They were bankrupted to allow the govt to control it. They've been nothing but shells for over 10 years, allowing the "propaganda bill" to become law, and the propaganda started a long time before the 90s. I think that the govt and big chemical/pharma are paying the bills while sports and the rest just make it look like they are viable companies.
There is NO such thing as corporate "press" anymore, so much as corporate marketing and propaganda groups.
Why would the Musk PAC not be there for Trump because Dims switch? Idiotic.
Programmer I know told me a few years back that DDG uses Google as primary for search results. They may've also been sold to another company/corp.
This has been the case since around 2015/16 ish. Stuff you'd normally be able to find was either so far buried or you'd never be able to find them at all. But WaPo, CNN, Politico and the mainstream networks were now the first.
We all remember the David Brock Memo in January of 2017, right? They did everything to weaponize tech.
The left only hires other leftists. They gatekeep industries when they take over. Academia is overwhelmingly left wing. You won't find a conservative in the humanities (who's open at least).
Lol...you're not only wrong, you're dead wrong.
The problem is you just can't tell how bad people are until something like this reveals it. The majority of academia is run and populated with radical leftists. They just don't talk about it openly enough on social media to know how nasty they are. The "virtue" signaling music came to a stop when they heard about the shooting, or we'd never have seen how disgusting these people are, and how quickly NO ONE on the left wants to utter a word against their hatred.
I went through social sciences in multiple disciplines. I had two professors out of all of them who could even be close to considered moderate right.
Joe Biden had covid twice. What a loser. Probably didn’t get vaxxed.
It’s crazy to me that Democrats thought they could just hide this loser for 4 years, AND hide him through a re-election campaign.
That didn’t work, so they tried to literally assassinate Trump.
That didn’t work, so now they’re trying to transition to Kamala Harris.
That won’t work, so they’ll try to cheat real hard.
That might work, but it not, they’ll just let Antifa burn it all down again.

I’ve never tested positive for Covid and I’ve never had a Covid shot.
I am the elite .1%.

I had zerrrro. All far left. All of them. It was routinely shown in our assignments as well with the hypothetical scenarios they would give us. Never was there anything that was presented that was negative toward Democrats or leftism unless I brought it up in class which after awhile I felt was my duty so that at least one kid in the class could hear something that was different.
Some critical thinking should surely include (if it’s true) that there was an attempt to short the stocks and that this was the only live broadcast of his rallies by CNN this year.
Again, IF TRUE, those should be as powerful to an actual critical thinker as the notion that Biden became POTUS even though he lost 18 of 19 bellwether counties in addition to Florida and Ohio.
One of the many things the media/Dem lies about Trump they refuse to quit telling:
I bet you if they worked with a good investment bank, the Biden family could probably get a bigger offer from a buyer interested in keeping Joe in the race than they’re going to get from democrats for him to drop out.
Elon could just send his $45 million per month to the Biden family so long as Joe is in the race, and they wouldn’t need to waste it on ad spend.

I don't think the constitution doesn't require that non-citizens be counted for electoral votes. That's just the way it's always been done. Maybe a law.
I think he'd be more effective running something vs. just one of many Senators. So good.
Their numbers sadly keep dwindling towards nothing left.
I think they like clogging up this thread more than anything.

Attention Critical Thinkers! Attention!

"Imagine if the roles were reversed"The left imposed a punitive social regime over the last 20 years in particular, because it works. Just one of their punitive enforcers in your workplace makes the entire organization turn into a constrained environment, where they can say whatever they want, and everyone not on their side cannot. It doesn't have to be a manager, it could be the janitor, and HR laws almost always ensure you've got at least one of these people bumping around like a subtle cultural commissariat.
Punitive systems work. They only begin to fail when they reach a certain degree of irrationality, or when juxtaposed with a similarly empowered system that is more rational than the old one. They don't have to actually like the system or its rules, it is the irrationality that matters.Being canceled or tut tutted at for pointing out basic realities is irrational. Time has made this system more irrational to the point where expecting people to show up to work on time is racist, stopping crime is racist, being a nationalist flag waver for countries you don't belong to is encouraged if it fits the foreign policy platform of the DC Consensus, but is absolutely verboten if it's your own nation.
Statues of historical figures that built societies and institutions are cast down in favor of lionized junkies, criminals, and activists who never built anything. Criticizing this is also punished, and is also irrational.If I had to argue what *one thing* unites everyone on the right, it is the anxiety and disgust brought on by this irrational punitive system. We *should* be united on the subject of replacing it with a punitive system that is similarly punitive, but utterly rational, and in our favor, not theirs.
Because the MKULTRA tier faction of Current Thing psychosis respecters have created an existential conflict where the loser suffers Reconstruction 2.0. We didn't choose those terms, they did that for us, but we need to be willing to actually win, and that means implementing a rational social standard that has punitive boundaries, albeit one that is actually rational and predictable so it can be willingly avoided."
This country is in despertae need of
Abolishing the IRS, the DOE, DOJ, FBI, CIA, ATF
Abolish funding for NPR and PBS
