Hard to swallow pill: If you’re not prepared to shoot these animals, you will forever be at their mercy.

They understand only power and violence. If you aren’t going to overmatch their violence, they will always have power.

Postmodern liberals want to believe we’ve outgrown such things. We absolutely have not, and never will.

If someone asks you how much a single family's life is worth to the United States Navy, tell them the exact price: ten million dollars of steel.

On April 29, 1975, as Saigon fell, a tiny two-seat wooden-and-fabric Cessna plane with almost no fuel left circled desperately above the American aircraft carrier USS Midway.

Inside that tiny cockpit, a father named Major Buang-Ly had crammed his wife and five small children, including a baby. He scribbled a note on a map, wrapped it around his pistol so it would not blow into the ocean, and dropped it onto the carrier deck.

A young American sailor picked up the crumpled paper and ran it up to Captain Lawrence Chambers.

The note read: "Can you move these helicopter to the other side, I can land on your runway, I can fly 1 hour more. Please rescue me. Major Buang, Wife and 5 child."

The flight deck of the USS Midway was completely jammed from bow to stern with military helicopters. A Cessna has no tailhook to catch carrier wires, and its pilot had never landed on a ship in his life.

By every military regulation, Captain Chambers had been in command for only five weeks. Throwing millions of dollars of U.S. government aircraft into the sea without permission from Washington could end his career in a court-martial.

Chambers looked up at the tiny plane circling in the wind with five children inside. He did not call an accountant in Washington.

"Clear the deck," the captain ordered.

Hundreds of young American sailors in yellow and green jerseys ran to the edge of the ship, put their shoulders against massive Huey helicopters, and shoved ten million dollars worth of machinery straight off the cliff into the South China Sea.

Captain Chambers turned the giant carrier into the wind at twenty-five knots. The tiny Cessna came down, bounced once on the steel runway, and rolled to a safe stop with feet to spare.

When the cockpit door opened and five small children stepped out onto the deck, three thousand American sailors roared so loud it drowned out the engines, and immediately passed around a hat to collect cash for the family's new life in America.

When the math says a child's life is too expensive, an American throws the math into the ocean.

how convenient for corporations rn that any condition out of the ordinary will raise prices and the removal of that condition never seems to mean they lower them

Did you know that if Daisy posted this pic on facebook or instagram we would likely have our page taken away? We live with two strikes on us. Considering the filth you can see on those apps, does that seem right to you?

Our forefathers didn't die for this country so the entire world could come in and snipe accounting/software engineering jobs from their own children by offering to work for 15% less

The job of the government is to further the interests of ITS OWN PEOPLE, not maximize global GDP

"So your parents lived through a world war and brought about the greatest economic boom in the nation's history?"

"Yes, Dave."

"Then you grew up in the best economic and cultural conditions imaginable, with a thriving middle class, a strong manufacturing base, and relatively low cost of living?"

"That's right, Dave."

"So when you grew up and became established your first instinct was to offshore American manufacturing, switch all the pension plans for 401Ks, import tons of immigrants to supplement the low-skill labor market and undercutting American wages, lower interest rates which drives up asset prices, and reduce immigration enforcement so the team of 30-something year old Mexicans can keep mowing your lawn for the same price as the teenager you used to pay to do it?"

"You betcha, Dave."

"Now you're going back and forth from your condo in Florida to your house in Madison, while your grandkids struggle to afford groceries in their one bedroom apartment?"

"That's accurate, Dave."

"And you want them to pay more in taxes so you can keep receiving social security, which is only one of four retirement benefits you currently live off, half of them being taxpayer funded?"

"Yeppers!"

"And you think this is justified even though your generation was the first to not have enough kids to fund your social security benefits, and you told your kids and grandkids not to start families till after they were established in their careers, so they had even fewer kids to fund your retirement?"

"Sounds right, Dave."

"And you encouraged all your kids and grandkids to go to college because you knew the labor market was being manipulated with immigration and offshoring, because you're the one who manipulated it, and that resulted in a college degree bubble where a lot of in-demand degrees ended up not paying well-enough to repay the student loans?"

"Yeah, Dave."

"So you voted for the candidate that promised to make student loans federally guaranteed, which only made the college more expensive, and even more difficult to repay?"

"I guess so, Dave."

"And when you die, your family won't even inherit your house and condo because they reverse mortgaged them both to buy a top of the line fishing boat and a truck to haul it from Wisconsin to Florida and back?"

"Well... They'll inherit the boat and truck!"

The Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program should be expanded so that firms and corporations can participate. Imagine public accounting firms or law firms spinning up offices to analyze public data and find evidence of fraud.

[Jace Yarbrough @JaceYarbrough]

The largest tax on the American people, economically and socially, is the endless fraud being perpetrated by people who shouldn't be here.

[jemp.stp @runthistrain]

see normal people don’t understand that a 285 million dollar contract isn’t really that much because you have to pay taxes and also have to pay someone to play a gold harp as your personal chef prepares your dinner

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.

Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.

Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.

La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
