Fanatics hate moderates with the white hot heat of a thousand suns. They understand the intensity of their fanatic opposite. But the moderate exhibits a restraint and cognitive control that elicits self-hatred in a fanatic, because he has no hope to equal it. It highlights the fanatic’s animalistic ferocity in a way that discredits and delegitimizes his entire political existence.

Chris, you posted a CBO chart and somehow skipped the part where CBO says the long-term problem is exploding mandatory spending and interest costs. Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. Interest. Not just ICE and the Pentagon. And spare us the sudden fiscal conservatism. You voted for the $1.9 TRILLION American Rescue Plan too. Pretending Washington’s debt crisis began with border enforcement and tax cuts is partisan accounting dressed up as economics with a margarita. The debt is bipartisan. The selective outrage is yours.

Also it wasn’t the Marshall Plan that made the US a superpower. It was its industrialization under robber barons and military supremacy and system of alliances in the world order victory made possible. It was invention and progress, protected by the strength of rights and rule of law made possible by a stable, robust republic checked by divided powers in government. When people stop crashing America’s borders clamoring to get in, you might have a point 🙄

Britain and Norway spent more than a month tracking three Russian submarines in waters north of Europe during an operation to deter the vessels, which ultimately returned to Russia. stripes.com/theaters/europe/…

While we piss tax dollars all over Somalia, people are asked to donate $12 per month to Luke’s Wings. Luke’s Wings flies families to meet with recovering wounded warriors. Amazing organization, but gives you a glimpse into the corruption and misplaced priorities that is our government. lukeswings.org

It’s not blind trust. You must still be the human mind inside the idea kill chain, before the thought solidifies into belief. Read widely, across disciplines. Build your knowledge. It’ll help you sniff out when you need to dig further.

Watching officers get pelted with snow while they are out in brutal weather protecting this city should make every New Yorker furious. It is disgusting behavior. And the politicians who constantly bash the police and refuse to have their backs are setting a terrible example. Leadership matters. Tone matters. ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS must speak out and make it clear that attacks on our officers, in any form, will not stand. Back the police. Full stop.

The Secretary of State knows better. This is 1938 all over again if we stick our head in the ground.

Enjoyed MG. He said kill chain and OODA loop in the same sentence so I got my money’s worth tonight, and can sleep in peace.

Gorsuch’s rigor is admirable. Still, justice needs more than textual loyalty it needs moral clarity. The Constitution is the map, but conscience is the compass

24 years ago, terrorists attacked America for our belief in free speech—and our resolve to defend it. Yesterday, a young man was shot for speaking his mind. Freedom’s defense is not past tense—it’s our present duty. On 9/11, we honor heroes like Todd Beamer. Let’s roll. 🇺🇸 #NeverForget
