I very much appreciate you doing this - I was permanently banned from Twitter / X a couple of years ago - for what reason I am not sure - and as a consequence I have missed many of your threads.

Please consider doing the same for all of your great work. And all the best.

Upon reading this superb essay I noted somethings to comment about.

I'd posted on X numerous times about Harris's cover-up/shielding of pedophilic Catholic priests in San Francisco when she was DA. From Lee Fang's 2019 Intercept article it was quite clear that she did this because the Catholic Church in SF is politically powerful and this was the politically expedient thing to do. I wondered over and over again why this obvious flaw was ignored by everybody, including her political enemies on the right. Your explanation makes sense, and I had never thought about it, and that is that the right did not want to bring up anything so unfavorable towards the Catholic Church.

Besides the comment above I have another observation to share and that is that in the videos AOC is way more relaxed, genuine and authentic in her voice, facial expressions and body language than she is in her rather new-found remake of herself in the image of Nancy Pelosi. If she continues in her high-pitched and forced language and mannerisms of lies and deceit--e.g., Harris is tirelessly working for a cease-fire--she will certainly lose the bid for presidency that she's seeking for her future. It's offensive, though of course I can't speak for everyone.

Thank you for your thoughts and looking forward to reading your work again. I just wish it wasn't about genocide.
