John Lennon wrote a beautiful song about socialism.

“Imagine no possessions” he told us.

He also:
– helped write his band’s anti-tax anthem, Taxman
– incorporated his IP holdings
– moved to a lower-tax country
– fiercely protected his royalties
- drove two Rolls Royce’s and had multiple luxury homes.
– made sure even the royalty cheques for Imagine were kept safe for his estate so his family would remain wealthy in perpetuity.

If he believed it, he’d have lived it. The trouble with socialism is that even the people who love the idea won’t run the experiment on themselves.

John Lennon writing Imagine while owning two Rolls Royce Phantoms and later having a law suit to protect his royalties tells you all you need to know about socialism in practice.

It doesn’t work outside of the imagination.

@FenixAmmunition @Mrgunsngear I am so thankful I moved to northern Michigan. I used to live nearby. Unbelievable. That will be ruled in.

At 65, I’m a man of contradictions.

I’m conservative, but gay.

I’m black, but I don’t obsess over slavery, racism, oppression, or reparations.

I don’t fit into any of their boxes.

I voted for Trump because he offered me more than any democrat has ever done.

He offered to love my country and make it GREAT AGAIN.

That's what I voted for.

Because I’m just an American who wants to see his country remain the best in the world.

And nothing Donald Trump has ever said made me afraid to vote for him.

If he could run again, I’d vote for him again.

Because let’s be honest:

He’s a better president than any of the last 3 democrats we’ve had, or whoever they crap out in 2028.

Is anybody with me on that?

How to memorialize the fallen.

[Happy Captain @EODHappyCaptain]

Kyle Carpenter, a Medal of Honor recipient for jumping on a grenade and saving his buddies, just finished a 64 mile race with a goal of finishing a 100 mile ultra soon.

This man died numerous times, is partially blind and deaf, and has limited mobility.

Some dudes are just built different.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Reposting this.

Because.

Articles take a LOT of work to do right, and if you want them to be widely seen on X, you have to promote them.

I'm proud of this one.

BREAKING: Three Anti-ICE protesters have been found GUILTY of conspiring to INJURE or impede ICE agents by a federal jury! The max penalty for them is SIX years in prison and a $250,000 fine! Seven other anti-ICE protesters were also going to be charged, but they took plea deals.
KHQ News is reporting, "After a two week trial and two days of jury deliberations, Justice Forral, Jac Archer and Bajun Mavalwalla II were all found guilty of conspiracy to injure or impede federal officers.
After hours of deliberation on Wednesday and Thursday, the jury foreman delivered the verdicts to a crowded courtroom.
The charge of conspiracy to injure or impede a federal officer carries a prison term of up to 6 years and a fine of up to $250,000."
The charges stem from a protest in June of 2025, when several protesters tried to stop federal agents from taking detainees to the ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington.
KXLY News further reported that "a small protest ballooned into hours of confrontation with officers."
When the verdicts were read, some in the court appeared to start crying, according to KHQ News. "Several people, including Spokane City Councilwoman Sarah Dixit, appeared to cry, while others had their mouths open."
That's what you get when you break the law & try to harm agents & protect criminals! Law & Order, baby! That's what we want! Heck yeah! Let's Go! America!!!

Here's some ground rules for this weekend:
1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial Day. There is nothing happy about brave men and women dying.
2. It's not a holiday. It's a Remembrance.
3. If you want to know the true meaning, visit Arlington or your local VA cemetery, not freaking Disneyland.
4. Don't tell me how great any one political power is. Tell me about Chesty Puller, George Patton, John Basilone, Dakota Meyer, Kyle Carpenter, Mitchell Paige, Ira Hayes, Chris Kyle and any other heroes too numerous to name. Attend a Bell Ceremony and shed some tears.
5. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I have carried the burden all too many times for my warriors who now stand their post for God.
6. Say a prayer for the fallen... and then another for those serving.
7. Remember the Fallen for all the Good they did while they were here.
8. Reach out and let a Vet know you're there, we're losing too many in "peace"!

🚨🧵 THREAD: Braver Angels says they're bipartisan and just bringing people together. Their own leadership coordinates with an anti-Trump political infrastructure network.🚨

This thread is not about BA's members. Many are sincere, and I thank @wilksopinion and @JohnRWoodJr for communicating with me.

This is about the infrastructure steering them: IMIP.

On August 18, 2025, Harry Boyte, a former Democratic Socialists of America board member, YES, that DSA announced Maury Giles' new role as Braver Angels CEO on video and their shift in strategy from depolarization to civic action:

"David has put together a featured plenary at the National Conference on Citizenship... which will be a launch of a new stage for Braver Angels that some of us have been working on for a while."

IMIP is the Inter-Movement Impact Project. It coordinates BA's strategic direction. Its own May 2025 document quotes David Brooks approvingly:

"Short term: Stop Trump. Foil his efforts. Pile on the lawsuits."

Braver Angels' members are bipartisan. Their leadership is adjacent to anti-Trump infrastructure. This thread has all the receipts.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

This is the best 5 minutes and 50 seconds I have spent in quite a long time. I encourage anyone and everyone to watch.

The amazing thing is that ALL OF IT has been in plain sight for a very long time, yet very few people have seen it or are seeing it.

It's the genius of Trump. He intentionally creates a bombastic, almost clownish facade that purposely obscures his exquisite grasp and attainment of strategic goals.

Most people fall into Trump's trap--but not this British commentator. He lays bare exactly what America's geopolitical strategy is, but the thing is--it's always been bare and always been obvious and always been in plain sight.

You just had to see past the deception plan.
