Tur is 42 years old and Coppins is 39. Do they know anything about the text of the Declaration of Independence?

— neo

Most likely not.

Remember what Ben Rhodes (Obama’s national security czar) said of ‘reporters’ years ago:

“All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing,”

When Trump ran in 2015/16, his weird superpower manifested itself: the ability to cause people to reveal where they really stand. A lot of lefty reporters and entertainers suddenly admitted aloud what they always thought, i.e. that the Founders were, at best, clueless and irrelevant to the modern world and that we had long since moved beyond them. I heard stuff along these lines said aloud in response to Trump’s gathering momentum.

The current governing class holds their own countries, and cultures, in deep contempt and disdain, and many of them actively despise the average citizens of those places.

Have I written this here before? It’s worth repeating.

That really takes the cake….

(More like “bye-bye-O-ethicist”…)

Not just with journalists.
Especially the “marriage” factor.

DataRepublican’s investigation (https://datarepublican.substack.com/p/the-shadow-cabinet-of-soros) shows that there is a massive network of connections within government, academia, NGOs, and media where two married people interact with each other’s professional institutions, influencing or even controlling funding, publications, policies, and just about everything used to move money and power around.

And the women almost never use their husband’s names professionally, which is understandable, and not, in theory, some kind of malicious camouflage; BUT someone taking a cursory look into the facts-formerly-known-as-conspiracy-theories does not (cannot!) discern the hidden, incestuous, mingling of influence and patronage, so it does become subversive in practice.

I noticed that mingling on occasion over the years, starting with Obama’s administration; we saw that recently with Fauci and his wife Christine Grady.
But I had no idea it was so widespread and pervasive!

One sample (only 2 couples use the same surname):

As for the Fauci couple:

Notice how carefully the Wiki editors note their spousal relationship, and also carefully do not note why she was reassigned from her job in 2025.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Grady

Dr. I Am The Science has an even less revealing article.
This is all it says about their professional hierarchical connection.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Fauci

As a physician with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Fauci served the American public health sector for more than fifty years and has acted as an advisor to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan.[9]

And then a loooooong way down:

“Fauci is a longtime resident of Washington, D.C. The Washington Post reported in 2022 that he has lived in the same “comfortable but modest house since 1977”.[14] *
In 1985, he married Christine Grady, a nurse and bioethicist with the NIH, after they met while treating a patient.[129] Grady is chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.[65] Together, they have three adult daughters.[130] At the time of his retirement, Fauci’s annual salary was $480,654, making him the highest paid U.S. federal government employee at the time.[14]]

*What did he do with all that money? And his wife made almost as much.

Wiki readers would never find out this:

While Dr. Anthony Fauci gave the nation its pandemic public policy prescriptions, his wife, Dr. Christine Grady, the Chief Bioethicist at Fauci’s employer, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provided the moral framework.

The Faucis are important to the center-left, because they represent the pinnacle moment of the administrative state – top-down public policy run by an elite group of government scientists.

Conversely, to the center-right, the Faucis represent “the fatal conceit of the elites.” As Noble Laureate economist Friedrich Hayek theorized, the elites are no match for billions of free people acting in their own best interests.

MEET THE FAUCIS

While Tony Fauci was the top paid federal bureaucrat and out-earned the U.S. President at $480,654 per year, Christine Grady, as the chief bioethicist at NIH out-earned the U.S. Vice President ($243,749). When adding 35-percent in benefits, the couple cost taxpayers an estimated nearly $1 million per year.
…
So, the Faucis lived a conflict of interest at the breakfast table, the office, and back home around the dinner table. However, NIH has never acknowledged this.

In fact, NIH forced our organization to file two federal lawsuits with the public-interest law firm Judicial Watch as our lawyers to finally bring transparency to the Fauci/Grady job descriptions, conflict of interest documents, financial and ethics disclosures, contracts, and other documents.

Then, NIH slow-walked thousands of pages of production. Yet, no nepotism waivers were produced, no acknowledgement of conflicting interests, and no records documenting violations of federal ethics policy.
…
Dr. Fauci knew that his “draconian policies” on social isolation and economic lockdowns would have “collateral negative consequences,” and admitted Christine Grady was a driving force behind his hardline approach.

In a November 2021 interview with the couple, Fauci said that he gained strength from his wife’s support saying, “background and her experience in really core ethical principles [helped] me to really feel much more comfortable in what I was saying.”

In the interview, Christine Grady described how she mind-mapped national policy with her husband:

Discussing such important things together, given their respective professions, was not in and of itself nefarious, although they were both very, very badly wrong and duplicitous (well, lying scoundrels and murderers); however, their marital relationship was not obvious to the public (prior to the interviews much later in the pandemic), and so it looked like two INDEPENDENT prominent NIH officials had the same opinions, giving them more credibility.

Same thing with all the married couples (sex partners, blood relations, college roommates, whatever) when the relationships are not disclosed to the people whose lives they are manipulating.

Guess there is some pushback.

But Lordy, she sure sounds like a doe-eyed, Carlson-infatuated acolyte…
