Cognitive Dissonance—a well-established psychological concept where people experience discomfort when new information challenges their beliefs, leading them to resolve it by rejecting the info, rationalizing it away, or attacking the messenger.
Happy get an education, job, get married, then have kids (and teach them to appreciate their blessings and opportunities and behave themselves in public) day!
BREAKING - Footage of Karmelo Anthony stabbing Austin Metcalf has been released, and it shows Karmelo reaching into his bag, pulling out a knife, walking under the tent, and then running away after stabbing Metcalf, completely undermining claims that he acted in “self-defense.”
I was born in 1961 IN AMERICA.
So my name is William Michael Holte, not Kwame Mensah, Kofi Asante, Kojo Owusu or Chinedu Nwosu.
I celebrate Independence Day, NOT JUNETEENTH.
I celebrate Christmas, not Kwanzaa.
I’m not AFRICAN-American, I’m AMERICAN.
I’m not a BLACK American, I’m an AMERICAN.
My loyalty belongs to America, not to any fake African identity.
My history is American history, not African history.
My colors are RED, WHITE, and BLUE - not red, black, and green.
My anthem is the Star-Spangled Banner, not the Black National Anthem.
My flag is the Stars and Stripes, not the African Union banner.
My symbol is the bald eagle, not the Black Power fist or the letters "BLM."
I went to a white Catholic college, not an HBCU.
I got ahead through hard work and good education, not DEI and Affirmative Action.
In school, I recited The Pledge of Allegiance TO AMERICA.
I support The U.S. Constitution, not the weaponization of it against American citizens.
My future is tied to America’s success, not to racist democrat takeover policies.
And my president is Donald J Trump, not anybody else.
Who's with me on this?
still don’t understand what’s so special about Elon Musk’s money that his $1 trillion dollars would solve every problem on earth, but the $7 trillion dollars the US government spends annually hardly solves the problems in America
🚨#BREAKING: Two “teens” have been arrested after they TERRORIZED A SHOPPING MALL in Myrtle Beach SC by riding a DIRT BIKE through it, plowing into a kiosk, and tried to run.
They were only stopped after a janitor hit them with a MOP!
WHERE ARE THESE KIDS PARENTS?!!!!!
I disagree. Zuck understands better than anyone how fragile social media platforms are. They all have an expiration date. Facebook is well past its prime. Instagram doesn’t have much room to grow.
If Meta was resting on their laurels and buying back stock, they’d be forecasting negative growth by 2030.
The only way out is to move into a market with better dynamics than social media. They have the money and ambition to make this happen. Meta can just keep dumping FB/Insta ad revenue into moonshot attempts. They have so many shots on goal, they’re nearly guaranteed to find success eventually.
@CynicalPublius Chimpy? I've often said Bush looks like a chimp. Trump a bit like an Orangutan. Funny how no one cares when you compare white guys to a monkey.
