Vermont’s Bernie Sanders is a relative conservative in the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate. And self-styled socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is hardly the hardest-Left House member. The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Legislative Analysis made these and other discoveries after reviewing 58 Senate votes and 133 House tallies in 2023. They then rated lawmakers from zero (most liberal) to 100 (most conservative). ILA figures confirm that Capitol Hill Democrats are almost uniformly Left-wing radicals while Republicans are more moderate than even GOP voters imagine. For starters,26 Senate Democrats–a majority–scored lower than the 7.14% rating for Sanders, the one-man gold standard for American socialism. Such reputedly “middle of the road” lawmakers as Virginia’s Mark Warner (5.56%), Pennsylvania’s Bob Casey (5.45%), and Maryland’s Ben Cardin (3.57%) are all Left of Sanders.   At 7.14%, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, has the same score as … Bernie Sanders! So does alleged “centrist” Democrat and former astronaut Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona. Schumer is just seven points from the Left’s 0% “wall.” Meanwhile, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky’s 66.04% score puts him fully 33 points from the Right’s end zone and that much nearer the center. Indeed, while 26 senators are Left of Schumer, 40 are Right of McConnell. Many conservatives, not least moi, slam McConnell mercilessly and justifiably for sacrificing the Right’s principles an exquisite one-third of the time and more so when it really matters. McConnell ate out of Schumer’s hand on omnibus spending bills, a hike in the debt limit, and April’s betrayal on border security. Still, if McConnell votes Left 33.96% of the time, Democrats should stop calling him an extremist. The Senate’s ideological anchors are Connecticut’s hard-Left Chris Murphy (1.79%); its most conservative Democrat, Joe Manchin of West Virginia (35.19%); the most-liberal Republican, Susan Collins of Maine (a severely centrist 50.00%), and the most-stalwart conservative, Mike Lee of Utah (100.00% pro- individual liberty, limited government, and free enterprise). Across the Capitol, Rep. Jasmine Crocket?t, D.-Texas, earned a 1.61% rating and the House’s farthest-Left trophy. ?The whole world was watching on May 16, when she ?participated in a? juvenile, verbal? melee with AOC and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. The House’s most conservative Democrat is Maine’s Jared Golden (33.33%), and its most liberal Republican is Pennsylvania’s Brian Fitzpatrick (36.51%). Pennsylvania’s Scott Perry, Texas’ Chip Roy, and Virginia’s Robert Good — Republicans all — share 100% ratings and the ?House’s Top Conservative award. An 87.06% rating puts House Speaker ?Mike Johnson, R-La., closer to the center than Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York’s 7.14%. Shamefully, Johnson’s McConnell-style white flags likely will lower his numbers even further in next year’s ILA scorecard. Meanwhile, 33 House Democrats are Left of “Squad” leader and proud socialist AOC. Nearly three dozen of her colleagues must wish that she would stop voting so often with Republicans. In both chambers, Democrats march with North Korean conformity while Republicans are more diverse. Senate Democrats range from 1.79% to 35.19%. Republicans stretch more widely from 50.00% to 100%. House Democrats run from 1.67% to 33.33%. Republicans even more broadly span 36.51% to 100%.  Most fascinating is how the parties address two key issue areas. On cultural questions like abortion, gender, and race, Senate and House Republicans jointly score 97.57% versus 0.87% for Democrats. On tax-and-spend fiscal matters, congressional Republicans earn 50.66%. Democrats: 1.04%. “On cultural issues?, Republicans have become very hardcore, while trending much more moderate on fiscal affairs?,” says ILA President Fred McGrath. “Democrats, conversely, are extreme on cultural, fiscal?, and every other issue.” “Nearly 95% of Democrats score below 15%,” McGrath adds. “By contrast, fewer than 33% of Republicans score above 85%.” Next time President Joe Biden and his Democrat comrades foam at their mouths about “extreme, mega-MAGA Republicans,” they should study ILA’s irrefutable statistics and buy mirrors, so they can stare at Capitol Hill’s genuine extremists.

A federal judge sided with Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, dismissing a lawsuit backed by former basketball star John Stockton, two doctors, and a group founded by presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The lawsuit, filed in March in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, sought to prevent the Washington Medical Commission from enforcing its regulations on unprofessional conduct against the implicated physicians. We obtained a copy of the dismissal for you here. The commission had accused Dr Thomas Siler and Dr Richard Eggleston of disseminating COVID-19 “misinformation” through articles and online posts. US District Court Judge Thomas O. Rice approved Ferguson’s motion to dismiss the case, stating, “Adding famous names to a baseless lawsuit can’t change what it is. If you want to practice medicine in Washington, you must play by the rules. These doctors must face the medical commission and answer for their actions.” Background information reveals that Dr. Eggleston was charged with unprofessional conduct in August 2022 following public complaints about his COVID-19-related posts. These articles downplayed the severity of COVID-19, asserted the inaccuracy of COVID tests, criticized vaccines as being potentially harmful, and endorsed ivermectin as a safe treatment.

Republicans Brought the Fire to Her, But She Deserved So Much More

Human-wildlife conflict is one of the biggest issues relating to the ability of the world's wildlife and people to coexist. Whether it’s living through a cicadapocalypse, having your crops stolen by hungry elephants, or the impact of war on wildlife, there are basic rules when it comes to living side by side with the creatures of the world. Not leaping off a boat to try and "body slam" an orca shouldn’t need to be one of them.The Department of Conservation in New Zealand became concerned when a video of a man leaping off a pleasure boat into the sea, in a deliberate effort to touch or even “body slam” an orca, surfaced on social media.              "The video left us genuinely stunned. As well as the initial attempt to dive onto the animal, the man stays in the water and then swims toward it again in a second attempt to touch it," said DOC Principal Investigation Officer Hayden Loper in a statement. "This is stupid behaviour and demonstrates a shocking disregard for the welfare of the orca. It is extremely irresponsible."The 50-year-old man leapt into the water with both a male orca and a calf swimming round the boat, the video shows. Other people on the boat can be heard laughing and cheering in the background. "Orca are immensely powerful animals, and this really could have ended horribly – with either the startled whale being injured, or the man responsible being harmed by the aggravated animal," continued Loper. Working with the police, the man was identified and fined $600 NZD (around $370 USD) for his behavior. Loper said, "It’s a very clear breach of the Marine Mammals Protection Act. Orca are classified as whales under conservation legislation and it is illegal to swim with whales, or disturb or harass any marine mammal."Killer whales are actually the largest member of the dolphin family, and while they have a large distribution worldwide, they are thought to only number 150-200 off the coast of New Zealand. They are extremely intelligent and have been known to sink yachts in the Mediterranean. A further shocking incident of human-wildlife conflict occurred recently when a group were spotted pulling bear cubs out of trees in North Carolina, USA. Up to now, there's never been a recorded instance of an orca attacking a human in the wild – but there's always a first time...

According to a new study, just 10 “superspreaders” were responsible for over a third of the misinformation posted on Twitter (now X) during an eight-month period in 2020.Misinformation has become a serious concern in recent years. On the face of it, this type of content may appear to be simply irritating, but it can also have significant negative impacts. In particular, misinformation can sow distrust in democratic institutions or even threaten faith in public health systems. The January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol is an extreme example of how misinformation can lead to violent political unrest, while similar conspiratorial information seriously disrupted measures to address COVID-19 during the pandemic.For some time, researchers have been aware that some individuals on social media are more apt at spreading misinformation than others. So-called “superspreaders” – users who consistently spread a disproportionately high amount of low-credibility content – may well be responsible for much of the problem. In fact, a study into the impact of the misinformation on the 2016 US election found that 0.1 percent of Twitter users were responsible for sharing 80 percent of the dodgy content that circulated at the time.During the pandemic, an analysis of the proliferation of low-credibility information related to COVID-19 was shared by popular pages and accounts that had been verified by Facebook and Twitter, respectively. More worrying still, in 2021, the Centre for Countering Digital Hate identified 12 accounts – the so-called “Disinformation Dozen” – who were responsible for spreading almost two-thirds of the anti-vaccination claims on social media.With the response to the rise in misinformation being shared, social media platforms are under increasing pressure to shore up their efforts to address it. But how do you identify superspreaders, especially when existing studies have used different methods to find them?That’s the inspiration behind this latest study, conducted by researchers from the Observatory on Social Media at Indiana University, and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Exeter, in the UK. The team analyzed 2,397,388 tweets containing low-credibility content – which they defined as “content originally published by low-credibility, or untrustworthy sources” – that were sent by 448,103 users between January and October 2020.According to their analysis, over a third of these posts came from just 10 accounts, while only 1,000 were responsible for 70 percent.These superspreaders mostly belong to anonymous “hyperpartisan” accounts, as well as high-profile political commentators and strategists. Included among them were official accounts from both the Democratic and Republican parties, and the account of @DonaldJTrumpJr, belonging to former President Trump’s son and political advisor.It is worth noting that many of these superspreader accounts were identified in 2020 and have now become inactive or have been banned from the platform. At the time, Twitter was experimenting with ways to combat misinformation, but this approach stands in stark contrast to the situation now. X decided to lay off much of its content moderation staff and has even disbanded its election integrity team.It is also important to note that the majority of low credibility information in the data remained high even after 2,000 bot accounts were removed.“In this paper we address two research questions at the core of the digital misinformation problem. Specifically, we compare the efficacy of several metrics in identifying superspreaders of low-credibility content on Twitter,” the authors wrote. “We then employ the best performing metrics to qualitatively describe these problematic accounts.”“A manual classification of the active superspreaders we identify reveals that over half are heavily involved in political conversation. Although the vast majority are conservative, they include the official accounts of both the Democratic and Republican parties. Additionally, we find a substantial portion of nano-influencer accounts, prominent broadcast television show hosts, contrarian scientists, and anti-vaxxers.”The team’s results show that the removal of superspreaders from the platform does result in a large reduction in the spread of low-credibility information. However, they note that the suspension of accounts to reduce harm may be interpreted as an effort to limit the freedom of speech.“The effectiveness of other approaches to moderation should be evaluated by researchers and industry practitioners,” the team explain. “For instance, platforms could be redesigned to incentivize the sharing of trustworthy content.”Although this work focuses on superspreaders of misinformation, it may well open the door for future research into “amplifier” accounts, users who may reshare misinformation originally published by others.The study is published in PLOS One.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta and Troy Iwata continued the left-wing efforts to smear Justice Samuel Alito as some sort of insurrectionist or theocrat on their respective Thursday installments of The Late Show and The Daily Show for flying a Revolution-era Appeal to Heaven flag at his home. Colbert was especially bad because, while he admitted the flag’s original purpose had nothing to do with January 6, he just doesn’t care, “The Appeal to Heaven flag is not a new flag. It was first carried during the American Revolution, but it's more recently been co-opted by Christian nationalists, specifically championed by a right-wing Christian author named Dutch Sheets.”     After some jokes about Sheets’s name, Colbert got back on track and threw Speaker Mike Johnson into the conversation as well, “Mr. Sheets made it his mission to promote this flag among right-wing nutjobulists, and it's working because Speaker Johnson has also hung the flag outside his office. When asked about it, Johnson said, ‘It's George Washington's flag... It has nothing to do with stop the steal.’” Colbert was not happy, “Yes, it does! When a nearly forgotten symbol is brought back and widely co-opted, you don't get to use it in the old way. If a guy named Brandon says, ‘Actually, this swastika above my bed is referring to the ancient sanskrit symbol for good luck,’ he's a Nazi, Cheryl!” Despite his loathing of the January 6 rioters and the Stop the Steal movement, Colbert sure is willing to give them a lot of power to redefine Revolution-era symbols. Furthermore, mature people can differentiate between actual Nazis and people from South Asia using the swastika in its traditional context, just like mature people can differentiate between Revolutionary War and Founding-era history buffs and Stop the Steal followers. Circling back to Alito, Colbert added, “Sam Alito keeps saying that everyone on the Supreme Court is completely unbiased and non-political! I mean, there's nothing wrong if Aaron Judge wears a Yankees jersey, but it's different if the umpire does it! Balls and strikes, right? Balls and strikes.” Over at Comedy Central, Kosta huffed, “Look, I'm not an expert, but I always thought a judge was supposed to be impartial and neutral and I'm not naive, I know he's not, but can he at least respect us enough to pretend to be? It's not like he's a judge on American Idol. He's a Supreme Court judge. But he's stunting on us like a soccer player popping his jersey after a goal. ‘I killed Roe v. Wade, bitches! I killed Roe v. Wade, bitches!’"     Kosta also introduced Iwata who pretended to be reporting outside Alito’s home. Part way through the bit, the flag behind Iwata changed, leading him to report, “Oh, okay, so it's a big blue wave? I'm guessing that means Alito likes surfing? Or maybe they're fans of that Japanese wave painting that white people put in their first apartment. I'm going to look it up. Okay, so the wave is Noah's flood washing away the Sodomites, and drowning them in an ocean of tears.” Iwata claimed that Alito could clear up any confusion over his flags’ meanings by putting up flags that have clear messages, such as “a flag like Saudi Arabia. I can't read Arabic, but I know what a sword is. Like, message received! Maybe Samuel Alito should hire Saudi Arabia's flag guy.” It’s not really the sword that brought Iwata to the Saudi flag, it’s the fact that Saudi Arabia is a model society for the left’s straw man version of Alito. If it was literally about weapons, why didn’t Iwata choose Mozambique for having an AK-47 on its flag? The flag behind Iwata then changed again in case viewers were still confused over whether The Daily Show thinks Alito is a theocrat or simply a George Washington fan, “Okay... It's a Bible... Holding a gun? Oh, my god. I love it! See, I get that! Straight to the point! I am pissing my pants in fear, but I know why! Yes! Thank you, Justice Alito!” Just because the left is unfamiliar with Founding-era flags doesn’t mean other people are and waving their flags doesn’t make them a theocrat, an insurrectionist, or a Nazi. Here are transcripts for the May 23 shows: CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 5/23/2024 11:39 PM ET STEPHEN COLBERT: The Appeal to Heaven flag is not a new flag. It was first carried during the American Revolution, but it's more recently been co-opted by Christian nationalists, specifically championed by a right-wing Christian author named Dutch Sheets. Dutch Sheets, of course, named after someone who's been hit in the head with a brick trying to remember the name of IKEA. "We gotta go to the place, uh, the Dutch one with the sheets. After that, I think we should go to the hospital."  We liked the name Dutch Sheets so much that we have another joke we want to do. Dutch Sheets, of course, also what it's called when you fart over the covers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Peabody, please.  Mr. Sheets made it his mission to promote this flag among right-wing nutjobulists, and it's working because Speaker Johnson has also hung the flag outside his office. When asked about it, Johnson said, "It's George Washington's flag... It has nothing to do with stop the steal."  Yes, it does! When a nearly forgotten symbol is brought back and widely co-opted, you don't get to use it in the old way. If a guy named Brandon says, "Actually, this swastika above my bed is referring to the ancient sanskrit symbol for good luck," he's a Nazi, Cheryl! Get out of there! I don't care if his haircut is crisp. You know, the crisp haircut. Besides, Mike Johnson is a political figure. It's one thing if he wants to fly the team flag. Sam Alito keeps saying that everyone on the Supreme Court is completely unbiased and non-political! I mean, there's nothing wrong if Aaron Judge wears a Yankees jersey, but it's different if the umpire does it! Balls and strikes, right? Balls and strikes.   *** Comedy Central The Daily Show 5/23/2024 11:09 PM ET MICHAEL KOSTA: Look, I'm not an expert, but I always thought a judge was supposed to be impartial and neutral and I'm not naive, I know he's not, but can he at least respect us enough to pretend to be? It's not like he's a judge on American Idol. He's a Supreme Court judge. But he's stunting on us like a soccer player popping his jersey after a goal. "I killed Roe v. Wade, bitches! I killed Roe v. Wade, bitches!"  But if you're upset about this, the good news is, the Supreme Court has a code of ethics. Now, the bad news is, they wrote that code of ethics, and they don't follow it. So, I guess there is no good news, and the bad news is even worse. For more on the flag controversy with Justice Alito, we turn to Troy Iwata! Troy! Troy, you're outside Justice Alito's house at the Jersey shore right now. What's the mood down there? TROY IWATA: It's awful, Michael. It's the Jersey shore. Stop sending me here! It's like if Florida wore too much cologne. KOSTA: Okay, but what can you tell us about the flags at Alito's house? They're very provocative! IWATA: Well, it's worse than that, Michael. These flags are very confusing! I don't know what any of these weird right-wing symbols mean. One is upside down. This one has a clip-art pine tree on it. I don't get the message! The first time I saw that Blue Lives Matter flag, I thought the Smurfs finally got citizenship. KOSTA: Well, right-wing nationalists use this pine tree flag to symbolize how God gave them the divine right to violently overthrow the government. IWATA: Then [bleep] say that! Write "This is a reference to whatever shit Michael just said" on the flag. Because right now, this is just an ugly flag with a Christmas cookie on it. KOSTA: I think the bigger question is what Justice Alito thought the flag meant. IWATA: I'm going to stop you there, Michael, because he just put up a new flag. Oh, okay, so it's a big blue wave? I'm guessing that means Alito likes surfing? Or maybe they're fans of that Japanese wave painting that white people put in their first apartment. I'm going to look it up. Okay, so the wave is Noah's flood washing away the Sodomites, and drowning them in an ocean of tears. KOSTA: Troy, that's terrible. That's a terrible flag. IWATA: I know. I did not get any of that from the fun wave flag. If you're going to be hateful, stop being so subtle! Add a tiny gay person drowning under the wave. Or something! You know what flag works? That Don't Tread on Me flag with the angry snake. I get that. I know where not to tread. Or the punisher skull? When someone is wearing that on their shirt, I know that they're saying, "I'm divorced," you know? Or you can have a flag like Saudi Arabia. I can't read Arabic, but I know what a sword is. Like, message received! Maybe Samuel Alito should hire Saudi Arabia's flag guy. KOSTA: Okay, Troy, hold up, there appears to be a new flag up behind you. IWATA: Okay... It's a Bible... Holding a gun? Oh, my god. I love it! See, I get that! Straight to the point! I am pissing my pants in fear, but I know why! Yes! Thank you, Justice Alito! God, it must be nice to own a home.
