We're discussing my book The Primate Myth (amazon.com/Primate-Myth-Late…). Please watch. @DrRandallBock #humannature
We’ve been told for decades that chimps are the ultimate mirror for human behavior explaining everything from war to promiscuity.But what if that comparison has been completely distorting how we view ourselves?
"Human evolution has deviated very wildly, very dramatically, from primate lineage." - @WriterJonLeaf

I repeatedly noted during the campaign that El-Sayed’s central message was a lie.
He kept saying he wants to stop military aid to Israel to focus on spending money here. He was absurdly blaming affordability on that aid. Putting aside that the military aid was already being spent in America (at defense companies), it was also clear that he actually supported sending many more tax dollars to UNRWA and other foreign groups. Which doesn’t help Americans with affordability at all.
Unfortunately, much of the press never challenged him on this lie and now he can come out and admit it.

Once upon a time Galloway-Tucker would have exploded minds, now it's just another cliche combo in the worldwide alliance of terrible people.
Tucker Carlson and George Galloway praise Putin for being "moderate" and showing "great restraint" against Ukraine and the West.
Galloway: "We're jolly lucky that Putin is such a moderate in all this, are we not?"
Carlson: "Well, he's the most moderate figure in Russia, of course. And my strong sense, and I'm sure you can confirm this cuz you're much closer to it, is that Putin is probably the most pro-European leader Russia will have in our lifetimes. Certainly the most pro-European leader, and a man of great restraint and longitudinal thinking."

The Left just wants you to die, sooner rather than later. It saves so much money—and think of the carbon footprint that will be erased!

One day after election and knives are out.
🚨 EL-SAYED REFUSES TO BACK SCHUMER FOR SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed declined to endorse Chuck Schumer for Democratic Senate leader, despite Schumer’s support for his campaign.
“I do believe we need new leadership and I think people are hungry for it,” El-Sayed declared.
The outspoken Israel critic signals growing divisions within the Democratic Party over its leadership and direction.

Aber Kawas just won her election to become a New York State legislator.
In this video, she literally explains how the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans were the “manifestation” of America’s “system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia used to colonize and steal resources.”
She basically says America got what it deserved.

Bone-chilling reporting from @TheAtlantic about Adam Hamawy, the Democrat likely headed to Congress from New Jersey who volunteered for an Al-Qaeda front, testified for the defense at the Blind Sheikh’s terrorism trial, and still refuses to answer questions about his long history working with Islamist extremists.

A one-time acolyte to the Sheikh Abdul-Rahman, a traveler among jihadis, Democrat Adam Hamawy is about to get elected to Congress. Was he merely curious and hapless? Did he harbor jihadi beliefs now renounced? He provides little to no real explanation: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Abdul El-Sayed deleted this post.
It would be a shame if it went viral before voting starts.

Am I hearing this correctly? If a 5 year old little girl encounters a naked adult man in the bathroom it’s just part of “the free flow of information” ????

An Abdul El-Sayed supporter said voters are “stupid” and the best way to win is to hide the truth.
Abdul and Hasan Piker nod in agreement.
“The encouraging thing is that people are stupid.”
Israel is obviously the cause of instability in the Mideast. Also, Santa Claus is real. cnn.com/2026/09/16/middleeas…
