“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder,” according to 20th-century historian Arnold Toynbee.
He claimed every great culture collapses internally due to a divergence in values between the ruling class and the common people…🧵 (thread)
NEW: Bobby Kennedy III, son of RFK Jr., calls out the Secret Service for failing to protect former President Donald Trump.
The Kennedy family has certainly seen its fair share of Secret Service failures
Now is the time for every American who loves our country to step back from the division, renounce all violence, and unite in prayer for President Trump and his family.
Please join millions of Americans praying for President Trump. I join our Republican leaders as well as Democrats calling for calm. Now is not the time for rash judgements. @msgop, @RNCResearch , @DaveWLOX
I am sorry but I am appalled at everyone acting like Biden’s dementia has been collectively realized by the American people based on a mass epiphany due to his debate performance. Like many other normal people, I’ve known it since the 2020 campaign. Why do you think he didn’t campaign? Stayed in the basement? Hasn’t made himself available to the press his entire term? Constantly says he’ll be in trouble if he answers another question?
This is ridiculous. Please quit insulting my intelligence and playing into this horrendous gaslighting. Even people on our side are going along with this ludicrous narrative. Can we just take a moment to extricate ourselves from this unreality imposed on us the last four years? And while we’re at it could we quit giving the press a pass by going along with this fiction that they’ve been duped by Biden’s handlers. I give them more credit than to be that stupid, but not that corrupt. They weren’t fooled. They were popularizing the lie.
Why do we let Orwellian illusions dominate us? We should use this as a learning moment— as an illustration of how society can live in an alternate reality— and come to our senses.
Let’s use this Biden dementia concealment hoax as a learning moment. A good start would be for all of to get off our pathetic, cowardly rear ends and put a decisive stop to this devious conspiracy that we are in the clutches of some catastrophic climate crisis. It is foolish and stupid and incalculably reckless. We are trying to commit national economic suicide pretending to combat this non-existent problem that wouldn’t be alleviated by our assault on energy production even if the theory were true because all of our global adversaries are ignoring the stupidity and using our stupidity to get ahead of us, as they are unrestrained by this stupidity. (I’m rather proud of that run-on sentence FWIW).
Could we please quit playing games? If we are behaving this way as adults and stewards of the only nation, with God’s help, that has a chance to lead this world out of its satanic clutches, what will become of our kids? Our liberty?
This is a wake-up call. Let’s not squander the opportunity. I don’t want to close this on a negative note. There are signs we are awakening and willing to recapture our unique constitutional heritage, not least of which is the long overdue smack down of Chevron and the unelectable, unaccountable administrative state. Wow that’s big, but just a start. The left is relentless, tireless and committed. May we be as well!
I have a story. When I was flying C-141s in the Air Force, we were taking off from Keesler Air Force Base, MS. Big jet, heavy jet, short runway. As I made the turn from the taxiway to the runway, I noticed 3 base kids on their bikes stopping to watch us. There’s a road and a bay right off the departure end of the runway. The copilot and I were waving from the cockpit for them to move. They wouldn’t. We had our clearance so we powered up, brakes held, and took off. On departure, Tower called and said all 3 were thrown into the bay but were ok.
Ole Miss students singing the Star-Spangled Banner to the pro-Hamas protestors is the best marketing video for the university since Lane Kiffin threw that clipboard in the air on a 90-yard bomb.
Ignore this at your own risk.
Do not put your family in a small car.
Yesterday, my wife was driving my son to school and an oncoming delivery truck crossed the center lane and hit her head on — the driver had a seizure was going 40 mph.
I was on my way to work in a separate car and got an emergency notification from Apple the car was in an accident and it had automatically called police (great feature Apple).
I called my wife — no answer.
I felt sheer dread and sick to my stomach. I immediately turned around and headed towards the location Apple sent.
The police were blocking the entire street — not a good sign.
I eventually got up there and found my wife and son who were okay, considering. My wife has a broken wrist and is shaken up but otherwise okay.
The officer told me if she were driving a smaller car it would’ve been fatal — we bought this Wagoneer a month ago…
I am so thankful they are okay (and the other driver is too) and that we chose to buy a large vehicle.
Please do not put your loved ones into a small car. In an accident the size and weight make all the difference.
Instead of the worst day of our lives, we’re celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday today with chocolate cake.
The idea that the tax code favors ‘rich’ people at the expense of ‘poor’ people is a great big bundle of poppycock. Wealthier people pay the lion’s share of taxes & poorer people receive the lion’s share of benefits. https://t.co/gIIP74bDOE
