Yes, I listen to other viewpoints ... when they aren't absolutely insane ... to understand their perspective. Tim Pool has been moving from full-throated 'Bernie Bro' to (if he's not careful) an outright conservative voice.
The predominent point he makes here, that the left lies, absolving themselves with the belief that their opponents lied first, and will lie again, reminds me of D&C 10:25.
I'm a huge fan of fact-checking. Real fact-checking. I've seen a lot of facts thrown at me by leftists, which, upon closer inspection, turn out to be half-truths. So be careful.

Still think this isn't a war?
Bernie goes into more detail about just what those lies are, and what they're leading to.

Even Hollywood gets it.
What am I saying, 'even'? Of course they get it.
But I'm betting there'll be such an outcry, that this film will never make it to theaters.

Stephan's Quintet
Halton Arp (I know, right? The jury is still out on whether an unusual name is a blessing or a curse to a child.) is one of my heroes. Like Abinadi, Joseph Smith, Nikola Tesla, Immanuel Velikovsky, et al, he, too, suffered the wrath of the establishment for having the audacity to disagree with them. And, even worse, to be so obviously correct.
I respect that.
Perspective is important, and something science seems to forget. In this case, the argument is being made that the data are being misinterpreted because orientation has not been properly considered, and that, in this instance, that orientation is axially aligned with our perspective. In other words, as they say at the end, we're looking down the barrel of the gun. And that gun ejects material in our direction, like looking at a shish-kabab end-on, and concluding that the pepper is unrelated to the onion. Never mind that little skewer between them.

Kennewick Man
This drama began back when I lived in Vancouver, WA, just across the Willamette (pronounced: wil AM it) River from Portland, OR (an area I really love).
Now, to me, that forensic reconstruction looks a lot more like what the Mesopotamian, especially later Sumerian people claimed they looked like.
Where were the Jaredites from?
What coast did the ships of Hagoth depart from? And in which direction?

From my playlist
I was introduced to Chess in the early 1980s. Like most people, I heard Murray Head's One Night in Bangkok on the radio, but that wasn't my style. Then I heard this playing in a friend's car. It struck a chord with my feelings about America, so I ran out and bought it. And I fell in love with the story (all three versions!), and with several more songs. And I'll eventually share them all with you.
