So, how do we get personal assurances from the Brethren that what we’re doing is appreciated in or not? Jim @StallionCornell seems to have the direct line to what the brethren think of Jacob @ThoughtfulSaint. Do Brethren discuss other people w/ Jim? 1hr.

@JReubenCIark lost his job over his defenses, and Cardin could probably make more money not talking about his faith, so why now are we so bashful and cautious? What was the point of their public statements if not to warn and affect change?.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Listening to explanations why tariffs are bad is backfiring as it is revealing the fragile, and somewhat artificial nature of US business/manufacturing.

Because of cheap costs via global trade, we undervalued the things that we need and wanted. Made it easy to let that supply chain offshore. Folks are learning that “cheap plastic from China” wasn’t actually cheap; traded security and independence for cheaper stuff.

For the consumer, dropping a $0.01 device isn’t the end of the world. Of course they were paying for the phone as part of their service bill, but there still seemed to be a disconnect in their mind between the value of the device and the care that should be taken with it.

Worked short stint as tech support for iPhone. People called in wanting repairs for dropping it out of a car on the freeway, kids dropping it in the toilet. I couldn’t understand how someone would allow that to happen to a $500-$800 phone. Saw an ad that said “$0.01 for iPhone”🧵.

What harmless speeches at BYU from raging partisans like David French are all about.

Don’t know if there’s a better way to process the situation, but it hits the ear wrong when there is praise for God protecting someone’s life while right behind him there’s someone else w/ their brains blown out. Thank God it’s one life lost and not a civil war, I don’t know….

Cathartic as it may be watching Big Tech representatives being ‘grilled,’ is anyone else becoming worried when Democrat Senators and Sen Graham say govt will solve the problems from Big Tech?

5. Contact alternative media outlets (podcasts) to let your client tell their story. Require the outlet to keep silent on identity and specifics. Again, let the emptiness and lack of evidence create speculation that will lead to negative emotional opinions. 4/.

4. Use the controversy to encourage media to contact more publicly affiliated institutions and persons to obtain comments that distance themselves from the target. 3/.

2. Release some material to media outlets, they will get public institutions associated with the target to make a statement. 3. Release more damaging material to media outlets after several days to trap people/institutions into positions for or against the Target. 2/.

The most emotion Durham showed the entire day had to do with being called out for not actually investigating. “They said they didn’t do it and they’d never answer our questions under oath, so we’re done investigating.” Bet Manafort, Stone, and Flynn wished for such grace.

Where were the ‘true conservatives’ ,@realDailyWire @FoxNews @BlazeTV, on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and it’s significance? Distracted by flash in the pan news stories and culture war trivia for months? Only knew about it because of @barnes_law and @SteveDeaceShow.
