same page on this. We are just being gaslit and screwed in some way by some group or groups of people. But to pretend that anybody's on the other side of this, it's absurd. It's just absurd.

Now when I posted that no real person is actually in favor of this, Elon Musk weighed in and said 100%. And then a number of people said this but Elon Musk said it as well this morning. He said the exact same people who said everyone had to have a vaccine ID also say no ID is needed for voting.

I mean you don't need a lot of reasons to know that this isn't a real issue. This is an issue specifically to make it easier to cheat. It's to make it easier to cheat. Now if you tell me there's any other reason, there isn't. There isn't. Don't tell me there's some other reason. Nobody thinks that. That's just something that people are saying on TV. No actual honest living person believes any of this. It's just to make it easier to cheat. So clearly.

So here's what would be a good strategy for Republicans to win everything. Stop talking about everything except this. And every time you have a conversation with the press and every time you have a conversation that any Democrat can hear, say let me ask you just one question. What do you think is the reason they don't want to have voter ID? There's only one reason. The other reasons are stupid. And if you believe what you were told that Black people can't get IDs, well you're a racist and whoever told you is too because there's no evidence of that whatsoever. That's purely racist. So you're not only a racist but you would be favoring the people who clearly are trying to do something illegitimate and you know it.

And just go from there. Say Republicans want people who are citizens to vote. That tells you everything you need to know. The Republicans want citizens to vote and that we know that they really are here and they're really voting for, you know they're eligible to vote. There is no second reason for wanting no ID. It's only to cheat. It's only to cheat. There's no other reason.

And if you say that enough I think people will figure it out pretty quickly because here's the thing. People are fairly primed to expect they're getting screwed, you know by companies, by the government. We're all, we all expect we're getting screwed. And when you say there is literally no other reason for this voter ID thing I think people's we're always getting screwed thing just clicks in. They go oh yeah that does sound mighty suspicious.

Now they bring it up it's a real easy sale. It's a hard sale to say that the Biden family did something bad with Ukraine. Let me explain the total sophistication of the American voter when they're faced with the Ukraine situation. What? Yeah you see there was this whole network where Hunter set up and his business partners said this and there was a diamond that got lost and you know was it not when he was in office but there was some things in office and then it was a phone call and then the average voter says what? You can't make a sale with any of that basically.

All the complicated stuff are just things that people like you know you and I talk about. You the 1% who do this for a hobby or professionally like we care about that stuff, dig in a little bit and find out who's right and who's not. But the average person doesn't know anything about what's going on. Ask the average person about the nuance of whether TikTok should be banned. Just the average person who knows you know a little bit about the news but not a lot. You will hear the most ridiculous opinions because they don't understand the nuance.

But here's something they totally understand. There's only one reason that they're not requiring voter ID. It's so that they can rig the election. How many normal citizens can immediately understand that argument? All of them. Immediately. 100% right away. And how many of them are already primed to think that is the real reason? All of them. They're all primed right now.

A few of them are going to say oh I was told by CNN that Black people can't get IDs but you could change their mind in about a minute. Find me one Black person who can't get an ID. Find an interview with one. Find a survey. Anything. Find me a link. Show me a guy who's on video saying yeah you know I've been Black all my life and I'll tell you every time I go to get an ID I can't figure it out or I can't afford it. I don't know what to do. Seems like all these white people got these nice IDs but I can't figure out how to get one. No, that doesn't exist.

Do you know why? Because every Black person like every other person can get an ID and it was never real. So you can mock people for believing something that even their own team has no evidence for. That's different. Usually if you're debating climate change for example you know both sides will show their own preferred data. Oh my data says yes. Oh my data says no. But not in this case. Not in this case. There's no other argument. There's no data. There's no link. There's no story. There's no witness. There's not even a single person. Not one.

Anyway everybody can figure that out.

End Wokeness, one of my favorite follows on X, did an experiment where it asked the Amazon site for a list of Black-owned businesses presumably so you could you know give them your support. And it gave you a list of Black-owned businesses. Very good. If you'd like to support the Black-owned businesses you've got a really easy way to find them.

So then End Wokeness just said huh let's see if Amazon will give me a list of white-owned businesses. No. It said that would be too racist and inappropriate and absolutely not. You kidding me? So that's totally okay.

Now if you're not watching Elon Musk's comments he's going at each of these little stories and just labeling them racist and I think it's very powerful when he does that because he does concentrate attention. They are all racist. These are just racist things. They're racist because treating the races differently in a public way is as racist as you could get. There's no argument about that.

Now let's see what else happened. The Rabbit Hole, another good account on X, he was tweeting or posting about newspapers mentioning the murderer race. So there have been some surveys to find out when not just newspapers but the media, how often do they mention the race of the murderer if it's white versus Black versus something else.

Well here's the numbers. White offenders were mentioned roughly one in four articles. So for example one or four times if it was a white person they'd say a white man you know killed somebody for example. But if it was a Black offender only one time in 17 did the article mention the race. And if it's a Hispanic offender only one in 33 would mention it was Hispanic. I'm not sure I understand that difference but and that of course is super racist as Elon Musk weighed in and said yes that's super racist because it is.

All right. Russia's Putin says that he wouldn't use nuclear weapons in Ukraine but he would be ready to use them if Russia's existence is threatened. Now isn't that a nice vague statement that makes you feel good? So if I understand this the only thing that would prevent Putin from nuking me is his own opinion and nobody else's. Just his own opinion of whether Russia's existence is threatened. Huh. I wonder if anybody in a political role has ever used hyperbole or exaggerated a threat to take control or gain some power over something. Well that's scary.

Now I don't believe that Putin would use a nuke because using a nuke would be the riskiest thing that he could do for his own life and for Russia by far the riskiest. And he's not crazy. He doesn't show signs of any Biden dementia that I can see. I don't know about his overall health but his mind seems sharp and no I don't think there's any chance he's going to use nukes. It looks like he just has to wait it out and grind up the bodies until something happens.

I saw David Sacks who often is talking and posting about why we should wind up the war in Ukraine because we can't win. And he posted today that people ask him you know why does he keep going out there and you know talking about this and he said he was trying to wear people down with the truth and then the war will be over.

Now I love his attitude. He's going to wear people down with the truth and then once we understand the real situation we will all lock hands and make a good decision. Well I don't know. I don't know if I live in that country. Do I live in a country where a logical rational argument that shows the real facts will change people's minds? The answer is
