So Grok has perfectly taken my current position on UFO/UAP, here is what I asked it.
This was the response.

@FoxNews Mamdani has built nothing. He is a taker, never a maker.

This is exactly how I feel and I will not be silent!

Charlie Kirk never got to see America’s 250th birthday.

So, in his honor, watch him shut down the typical liberal “stolen land” argument.

A college student confronts Kirk and says Americans are living on “stolen land” taken from the Mexicans.

Kirk asks who the Mexicans stole it from, then expertly turns his own words against him.

By the end, everyone is cheering for America. Watch how this one plays out.

STUDENT: “I want to acknowledge the fact that we are right now on stolen land and that we are on indigenous land and that we are on original Mexican land right now.”

KIRK: “I love this stolen land argument.”

STUDENT: “…I really make it a point to notice that I’m on stolen land at all times, especially when we think about things like Manifest Destiny.”

KIRK: “Who did the Mexicans steal the land from?”

STUDENT: “Actually, the Mexicans were there originally in Texas…”

KIRK: “Wrong. They stole it from lots of Indian tribes… Texas was not indigenously Mexican… there was the Cherokee. There were many different Native American tribes there. So Mexico was participating in Manifest Destiny at the behest of the Spanish crown.”

[Student acknowledges Kirk is right]

KIRK: “At some point, you have to believe in self-determination. If you can win the land, it’s yours. That is what built the West.”

STUDENT: “I can agree with that.”

KIRK: “So instead of a land acknowledgement… you should have a gratitude acknowledgement. ‘Praise God, I live in America! I’m glad!’ A gratitude acknowledgement would be nice.”

[Crowd erupts]

Charlie would have loved to experience America’s 250th birthday more than anyone.

He defended America on campuses exactly like this one until the day he died. The least we can do is carry his message forward.

Rest in Peace, Legend.

This is why it's important to be involved in your local politics. Watch the zoning board especially. My husband chaired a zoning board in our community in NC, and they can rearrange your community in a heartbeat. You need to know what's going on if you don't want a Dearborn coming to a town near you!

God Bless Florida!

🇯🇵🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day to our friends in the United States!

This song is very popular here in Japan and many artists often cover it. I particularly love this one.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

There is no fight here. There is only a reversal of the truth, and a dishonest one.

You speak of "wealth and power" as though they were one thing. They are opposites. The billionaire's wealth is the record of value he created and others freely paid for. It buys him goods. It buys him nothing from you that you do not choose to give. He cannot tax you, jail you, conscript you, or command you. His only weapon is an offer you are free to refuse.

Power, real power, is force. The power to seize what a man earns, to dictate what he may build, to punish him if he declines. And that power does not sit in any fortune. It sits in exactly one place: the government office you, and those like you,occupy.

So look at what you have done. The man who can only persuade you is branded the tyrant. The man who can compel you, who writes the laws and aims the guns, calls himself your protector.

You are not standing up to power. You are power, pointing at the producer to keep all eyes off your own hands.

The Left and Islam, these two ideologies should be at war, one claims to fight for feminism, LGBTQ rights, secularism, and equality, while the other is rooted in medieval theocracy, submission, and absolute control.

Yet, they’ve formed a perfect symbiotic relationship, using each other for power, influence, and the destruction of Western civilization from within.

For the left, Islam is a weapon.

It is the ultimate tool to dismantle Western values, weaken national identity, and push their own radical agenda.

They don’t care about Islam itself, they exploit it, knowing that the ideology carries a powerful victim narrative that they can weaponize against their political enemies.

The left thrives on oppression narratives.

Islam, with its deep-rooted sense of historical grievance, fits perfectly into the intersectional hierarchy of the “oppressed.”

The left despises Christianity because it upholds traditional morality. But they need a battering ram to dismantle it.

Islam, with its aggressive opposition to Christianity, becomes a convenient ally.

The left knows that Western-educated, patriotic voters won’t buy into their radical agenda.

So they import millions of people from Islamic countries who are more likely to vote for big government, hate Western traditions, and demand “tolerance” while refusing to assimilate.

The more chaos, the better, because a broken society is easier to control.

The left thrives on censorship.

What better way to shut down debate than by labeling any criticism of Islam as “hate speech”?

The left uses Islam as a shield, calling any factual discussion about jihad, sharia, or terrorism “racist.”

But Islam is not a passive tool, it is using the left just as much, if not more.

While the left believes it is controlling Islam, Islam is infiltrating and manipulating the left to expand its dominance.

Islamic jihadists understand that they don’t need a military conquest to take over the West, they just need to infiltrate.

With leftist backing, they gain positions in politics, media, academia, and law enforcement, where they can quietly reshape policy in their favor.

The left’s obsession with open borders and unrestricted immigration is Islam’s golden ticket.

Once a Muslim population reaches a critical mass, it doesn’t assimilate, it dominates.

London, Paris, and Sweden’s no-go zones are the results of Islam using democracy to establish enclaves where sharia law reigns supreme.

Islamic jihadists have learned to disguise their theocratic ambitions under the language of human rights.

They attach themselves to LGBTQ movements, feminist causes, and racial justice protests, even though Islam itself stands against everything these groups claim to support.

It’s a calculated move, gain leftist support, then turn against them when power is secured.

The left believes it can control Islam.

But history shows that every time Islam allies with a non-Islamic force, it ultimately turns against its so-called allies.

The communists in Iran learned this the hard way when they helped overthrow the Shah in 1979, only to be executed en masse by the same Islamic jihadists they had supported.

The same fate awaits the left.

Radical feminists think they’re empowering women, until they’re forced into hijabs.

LGBTQ activists think they’re fighting for equality, until they’re thrown off rooftops.

Socialists think they’re creating utopia, until they find themselves living under the Caliphate.

Islam is not here to be anyone’s pawn. It is here to conquer. And the left, in its blind hatred of the West, is paving the way for its own destruction.

[Molly Pitcher @AmericanMama]

Please listen to this man!! 🙏🙏🙏

“I’m Iranian, yeah. I was born in Iran.

Islam was never a choice for Iranians when the Arabs conquered us.

If you don’t wanna convert, you either have to kill you or you’re gonna charge you jizya.

They weren’t even allowing us to speak our own language, which was Persian, Farsi.

They beheaded us. They killed us.

They sworded us.

They r*ped our women.

Not only that, they destroyed our cities.

Destroyed our libraries.

Destroyed our religion.

Destroyed everything that we had built thousands of years before even Islam existed.

It happened to many other countries in the Middle East and North Africa

We used to have, like a city like Rome. If not better.

When Muslims came, they destroyed everything.”

So I just think Islam is not compatible with the West.”

His words are a warning so take heed!! 👏

Teaching reading "became this holy war!" says reading app designer @NielsHoven.

One reason is that George W. Bush pushed phonics.

Teachers said "if George Bush is telling us what to do, we aren't going to do it."

Three men—Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk—have made my life immeasurably better. And yet they’re the bad guys. Are there billionaires who do not deserve their wealth? Sure. That’s a small price to pay for those three and the many other billionaires who enrich our lives on a less lavish scale.

[Topher Field @TopherField]

Yes Jane, because you haven't grown up.

All children are lefties because the home is the one place where socialism works.

"From each according to their abilities, to each according to their need" is literally how healthy families function. A child is not able to pull their weight, so adults do it for them.

But the deal in a family is this: I'm going to do this for you today, tomorrow you're doing to do this for yourself, and after that you're going to do it for the next generation.

It's ok for a child to be dependent, even a 'But that's not fair' Marxist...Children are obsessed with 'fairness', with the equal distribution...

But it's not ok for a healthy adult to STAY dependent, to stay obsessed with the distribution. Being an adult means saddling up and becoming focussed on the PRODUCTION of wealth, pulling your weight, creating more than you consume, in fact creating enough not only for your own consumption but for that of your dependent children also.

You broke the deal. You stayed a lefty, a parasite, you want to take the effort and productivity of others and distribute it according to your version of equity and fairness rather than doing the work to create more and make the world a better place, and that makes you a parasite. You haven't grown up yet.

You think it's 'self serving' that some people want to keep the product of their own labour? Then what is it to think you have the right to STEAL the product of other people's labour? Tyranny wearing a mask of virtue is what it is.
