Spot on.
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS A Letter From the Young Conservatives You Forgot Dear Republican Establishment, We have a simple question. What reason did you give a 25-year-old American with an engineering degree, $60,000 in student debt, and a stack of unanswered job applications to vote for you? We studied hard. We earned degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We did what everyone told us would secure our futures. Now we watch companies announce layoffs while continuing to sponsor foreign workers. We watch entry-level opportunities disappear while Washington celebrates economic statistics that bear little resemblance to our lives. And we wonder whose interests you represent? The Chamber of Commerce has your ear. Corporate lobbyists have your attention. But when was the last time you asked an unemployed American engineering graduate what he needs? You promised border security. You promised American jobs. You talked about election integrity. What did you actually deliver? What legislation passed? What remains unfinished? And why? Now you want to tell us what you'll accomplish over the next two years. All we hear about is Data Centers, AI, and Robots putting us out of work before we ever get a shot at an interview with an American company that prefers foreign labor because you saw to it that they were cheaper. Why should promises about 2027 and 2028 carry more weight than your record in 2025 and 2026? And when the presidential election arrives in 2028, what exactly do you expect to say to the generation that spent four years waiting for you to notice it? We aren't asking for guaranteed jobs, special treatment, or protection from competition. We're asking for a fair opportunity to build a future in the country we call home. Before you ask for another vote, explain what you've done to earn our trust. Sincerely, The Generation You Keep Asking to Wait

Could not state this any better myself.
It's Islamophobia Awareness Month & @patcondell's vintage takedown still is a joy. So put the kettle on, refresh your glass and relax with five minutes of magic.

This is relevant to everyone in the EU as well as others who might be affected by such power grabs. We have seen the same things exposed in the USA from the Left. They have planned to overthrow our nation and rewrite our constitution to give themselves permanent power. We must not allow it. This is an existential threat to all of us. Failure to respond properly will play right into their hands. Stand strong Poland, Italy, all the rest. We need you!
POLONIA, NOTTE DEL 30 OTTOBRE: QUESTO È IL BIVIO DELL’EUROPA. Mia analisi personale. Quello che sta succedendo a Varsavia non è un fatto locale. È il momento in cui l’Unione Europea mostra la sua vera faccia: non più un progetto di popoli, ma un meccanismo di allineamento forzato. Quando un Paese osa non piegarsi su guerra, confini e modello sociale, scatta la procedura. Giudici, polizia, etichetta di “Stato di diritto”. Bruxelles applaude se lo fa Tusk. Avrebbe gridato al golpe se lo avesse fatto un sovranista. Cosa è successo a Varsavia secondo i report ufficiali e i video locali: Secondo l'opposizione, il premier Donald Tusk muove per prendere il controllo della Corte Costituzionale e neutralizzare il Presidente di destra Karol Nawrocki. Se l’operazione riesce, la sinistra avrebbe mano libera su immigrazione e sovranità nazionale. Ieri notte, mentre Nawrocki era in volo, la giudice vicina a Tusk Anna Korwin-Piotrowska ha sospeso il presidente conservatore della Corte Bogdan Święczkowski. La polizia ha circondato il palazzo. Nawrocki ha fatto invertire l’aereo ed è rientrato di corsa a Varsavia per una riunione d’emergenza con i vertici conservatori della Corte e della Cassazione. Fuori, migliaia di polacchi con bandiere bianco-rosse. Cartelli gialli: “STOP BEZPRAWIU TUSKA”. Stanno difendendo la Corte dal blitz. Hanno aspettato che il Presidente uscisse dal Paese per agire. Ora che è tornato, la piazza non molla. Lo scontro è chiarissimo: Tusk europeista contro Nawrocki. L’UE inizia a mostrare le crepe. Molti conservatori USA si sono schierati con la Polonia. Tusk ha scelto la battaglia sbagliata. Ora capite perché non voglio lasciare l’Italia? Nel caos globale che domani può colpire ovunque, preferisco stare dove conosco lingua, clima, terra, gente e tradizioni. Perché sono capaci di trasformare qualsiasi paradiso in un inferno in un attimo. La Polonia sta facendo quello che in tanti Paesi europei non hanno ancora il coraggio di fare: difendere la propria sovranità in piazza. Voi da che parte state? Opinione personale di ✒️©Sabrina F.

Don't forget they tried permanent DST in the 1970s and had to go back because of all the problems it caused.
“When morning light is delayed, the circadian clock also delays. This makes it easier to stay up late, but harder to wake up early, resulting in a chronic reduction in sleep time.”

Minnesota is nuts
.@JamesOKeefeIII and @camhigby didn't cast a ballot. They didn't sign the voter oath under penalty of perjury, and they didn't vote. They walked into a polling place, proved to the entire country how ridiculously easy it is to exploit Minnesota's "vouching" system, and walked right back out. And what is Minnesota's response? Did they thank these men for pointing out their vouching system was broken? NOPE. County Attorney Mary Moriarty hit them with felony charges. They are prosecuting the flashlight for pointing at the dark corner. Because admitting the vulnerability means taking accountability, and they’d rather put investigative journalists behind bars than fix what's broken.

Can't reply... so I guess I'll have to disapprove. Plenty of Sims out there. It isn't rocket science to know that if you educate people properly, they will support the republic and not want it dramatically changed.
Run America. What could go wrong? Raise taxes or cut them. Build a wall or a high-speed railway. Abolish daylight saving time. Fantasy President lets you type any policy at all, then shows you exactly who loves it, who hates it and which states just turned on you.

Preach it!
Replying to @LeaderJohnThune
Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

Somewhat long video about Europe, but worth a listen. It doesn't point fingers so much as just state realities.
Dr. Ulrike Guérot (@ulrikeguerot) argues that Europe’s emancipation project was deliberately blocked. U.S. interference after 2004, the Maidan operation, and the refusal of a Eurasian orientation left the continent without strategic capacity. What remains is an oligarchic system that stabilizes itself through war, austerity, and the suppression of dissent, while pretending moral superiority it no longer possesses. “So, the Americans basically went to Iraq and then divided Europe. The BRICS countries were founded in 2009. You see the moment of 2011 to 2014 as a moment when Germany wanted to drop Europe but go east, go BRICS, but then was cut off from doing so. I can tell you, out of the EU Commission, that in these years, 2012-13, you would say I’m doing a conference with the Chinese and Russians, and so the Commission would say no money for this. There was clear interference in doing so. And then came Maidan. In which the Americans interfered in a way that Maidan was the glue to keep Europe west. To basically keep it west and to make it align in this anti-Russian spin. So the geopolitics and the geoeconomics were to keep Germany and keep Europe away from going with China, going with the BRICS, going with Russia, building the pipeline. I think Europe is in the worst condition today because, whatever you say about the US or China or Russia or Iran or India, at least they have somehow functioning states. So the only way we have is to pretend that we are the best. That’s still what we are doing. And because we are the best, all the others are evil. So the Chinese are evil, and our competitors now and Russia’s anyway evil and the US starts to be evil, and Iran is anyway evil. So we are the good, and the others are evil, which is a very, very non-intelligent position to take. We are the liberal democracies; we are Atlanticists, a huge consensus, and this consensus is now really breaking up. It’s breaking up with respect to Israel; you know why. It’s breaking up because the US is now drawing the red line and basically dividing Europe, trying to divide Europe. It’s breaking up with respect to Russia; are the Russians really evil? It’s breaking up with respect to China because the Chinese are basically lifting two-thirds of their population out of poverty and have the best car industry now. You can’t basically say that the Chinese are not running a good societal model. And in that respect, Europe is totally lost, and it’s not only lost geo-strategically and socially and economically, but also in mindset. Because the EU doesn’t function. I showed you Thomas Fasi’s book. The structures are totally flawed. No democracy, no participation of citizens. The EU is totally incapable of doing the real things, meaning peace in Ukraine and the big things. We can’t even build trains from Copenhagen to Rome or from Paris to Budapest, so we can not lift the economic potential. We need to accept that the system of the EU now is so flawed and there is so much resentment against the EU that, with this system, there’s just one chance to stabilize it, and that is violence and authoritarianism. And that is what is happening. What we are seeing — these oligarchic policies and this warmongering — basically means stabilizing a system that is now fueled by resentment and has no more consent among citizens. Essentially, most of the European countries now have an oligarchic structure, essentially in four industry pillars. One is armaments, the second is pharmaceuticals, the third is the digital complex, and the fourth is energy. And these are structures in which state money is spent for state goals like climate protection and energy. We need the mint bills or the corona vaccine; we do need to spend state money for the vaccine or armaments. Putin is Hitler, so we need to spend money on armaments or the whole digital complex, digital violations, so we need to spend money on the digital complex, and this is no more competition. This is basically state money flowing to big sections of industry and to organize this because, in a way, it’s protofascism. In the definition of Mussolini, if you have corporate structures where you have a merger and a fusion between the state and the economy, and the state fuels the economy without competition, then it’s no longer a market economy. So it’s basically protofascism in the definition of Mussolini. Freedom is gone in Europe. Dissident voices are gone, which they are, because they are put on EU sanctions lists. And the problem is that if this should stabilize and I’m fearful that it will — because it’s not only state money from Italy, France, and so on and so forth, but it’s also EU money on top of it that stabilizes all these oligarchic structures — then there’s no escape. Every citizen in Europe needs to earn a salary, has a husband, has a wife to feed, or kids, or whatever, so if you’re a school teacher, you can’t sneak out; if you’re a professor, you can’t sneak out. So the control features are very sublimated and go to the churches, go to the trade unions and go to every sort of civil society part and if you’re not sort of behaving in terms of war with Putin, Corona, digital, whatever climate, because these discourses are now institutionalized also in schools. And so there is no escape for citizens in terms of freedom and freedom of speech, which is a huge problem in Europe now across the European Union. And this is why there’s no quick fix. I’m not standing here to say there’s a quick fix for Europe. I guess Europe is lost at least for the next 20 years. That the only way is to blame Putin, escalation into nuclear war. Then there’s destruction, and then at least I am not guilty. I’m fearful about the future of Europe. I’m most fearful about this nihilism which is sort of sneaking into society. Thank you for listening.” The EU’s technocratic project has collapsed into oligarchy and moral pretension. A viable Europe requires a republican reconstruction oriented toward Eurasian cooperation rather than permanent vassalage and war.

He's not wrong.
Why would European countries ruin their own economies in order to fight to the last Ukrainian? - Prof Richard Wolff Prof Wolff believes that they want to cash in on the disintegration of Russia. ➡️ They also want to appear powerful; to restore their global image as colonisers. The EU as powerhouse, as a world power. The opposite will happen. Europe will suffer a hangover for 20 years, which no tablet can cure.

Insanity on display.
You Can’t Reason With THIS… During recent school protests in France that turned into widespread riots, a woman tried to stop a group from smashing a bus shelter in Marseille. A hooded 15-year-old then used an aerosol can and lighter as a makeshift flamethrower, spraying flames directly into her face. She suffered first-degree burns. And what was the response from some on the left? A young woman filmed herself doing the same thing, lighting her OWN FACE on fire with a lighter and aerosol to show solidarity with the attacker! In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth breaks down the footage, the official response (the teen was arrested and charged), and why treating this as a normal “youth protest” or pure school-funding issue misses the bigger picture of failed integration, hard-left agitation, and a media narrative that downplays the violence. When people will set themselves on fire to defend the indefensible, the conversation is over. Please SHARE THIS VIDEO FAR AND WIDE!!

Watch and listen. Truth being told.
This post is historically factually correct. It is historically legally correct. And the video attached is the most important video you will ever watch that settles the arguments and destroys the propaganda aimed at Israel for over 78 years. All the accusations thrown at Israel fit Jordan. Not one of them fits Israel. In 1922 Britain cut about 77 percent of the Mandate off the Jewish national home, closed it to Jews, and handed it to a prince from the Hejaz. Abdullah was not from there. His brother had just been thrown out of Damascus, so London gave him a throne. The League signed the paperwork. That is a country manufactured in an office, ruled by a foreign dynasty, built on land taken out of the instrument that was written for the Jews. Colonial borders. An imported ruler. A state invented to solve a British problem. Stolen land. Every line of that speech is about Jordan. And a century later it is still aimed at the people the Mandate was actually for. Israel did not steal a country. Britain amputated one, the Arab states invaded what was left, and the world has spent the years since pretending the first cut never happened. Britain knows it. The maps know it. The documents know it. The accusations are about the kingdom London built, not the state it tried to cripple.

Ermey was so epic in that role for that exact reason. He was the part. He wasn't acting.
R. Lee Ermey was forced out of the Marine Corps after a devastating injury, then walked onto a film set as a technical adviser and ended up terrifying millions as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. The former Marine turned one small acting opportunity into a career that made his voice synonymous with military authority. Ermey wasn't pretending to understand the military. He had lived it. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1961 at 17. He became a drill instructor. Then he served in Vietnam with the 1st Marine Division. He was wounded during his service and medically retired in 1972 after 11 years. He moved into civilian life. Then Hollywood found him. Ermey was hired as a technical adviser on Full Metal Jacket. He was supposed to help the actors understand military drill. Instead, director Stanley Kubrick saw something impossible to manufacture. Ermey could do the job himself. He auditioned for Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. And Kubrick changed the role around him. Ermey delivered brutal insults with the precision of someone who had actually stood on a Marine drill deck. The performance became legendary. The character was terrifying. The film made Ermey famous. But Hollywood almost destroyed the opportunity. He was not a conventional actor. He had no major film career. He had never been a movie star. Then Full Metal Jacket changed everything. Ermey became the military authority Hollywood kept calling. Mississippi Burning. Leaving Las Vegas. Toy Story. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He also became the host of Mail Call, where he explained weapons, military equipment and history to audiences. The former drill instructor had become a television personality. But his career remained tied to the military identity that had made him famous. Ermey embraced it. He became an advocate for veterans. He supported military charities. He remained involved with the Marine Corps community. Then, in 2018, Ermey passed away from complications of pneumonia. He was 74. His career had taken him from a Marine drill instructor to one of Hollywood's most recognizable military figures. But the irony is that the role that made him famous wasn't supposed to be his. He was hired to advise the actors. Instead, he became the actor everyone remembered. R. Lee Ermey didn't learn how to play a Marine for Hollywood. Hollywood hired him because he already was one. 🫡 🇺🇸

Great explanation. Thank you.
🔥 Lebanese guy just told the entire “Free Palestine” crowd to shut the fuck up. “Stop talking over Lebanon. Start listening to Lebanese voices.” 79% of Lebanese want Hezbollah disarmed. Only the Lebanese army should have weapons. 55% want peace with Israel (and those are just the ones brave enough to say it out loud). 82% view Iran negatively and want the IRGC out of their country. They support the agreement with Israel because Israel is leaving… while Iran refuses to disarm its proxy that has occupied, robbed, and dragged Lebanon into war after war. 4,000 dead. 1 million displaced. 67 destroyed villages. All for Tehran’s ideological fantasy. To every Western useful idiot screaming from their safe European or American couch: “You’re nothing to us but Hezbollah’s useful idiots. Get lost.” Actual Lebanese people have spoken. You just don’t care. 🇮🇱 #AmYisraelChai #StandWithIsrael #Lebanon
