“America’s First War Abroad Was Against Barbary Pirates—and It Started Over the Quran, Not ‘Foreign Policy’”

In 1785 Algerian corsairs seized two American ships and sold the crews into slavery. A year later Jefferson and Adams sat down with Tripoli’s ambassador in London and asked why.

His answer wasn’t about American power—there wasn’t any. It was theology: the Quran, he said, made war and enslavement a duty against nations that hadn’t submitted. The U.S. paid tribute for years. It didn’t work.

Jefferson finally said no, sent the Navy, and in 1805 a handful of Marines and mercenaries marched across the Libyan desert, took Derna, and tried to install a friendlier ruler. First U.S. land battle on foreign soil. First regime-change fight in a Muslim country. The clip walks through the record.

🇯🇵🇺🇸 People talk about why it's important for America and Japan to be friends due to security reasons. That's true but there's something else too:

It makes the leftists and their third world friends go crazy.

The fact that it angers the most disgusting people on earth is a great thing.

@Martyupnorth As an American, I hope you understand that a liberated and independent Alberta (and hopefully other provinces to follow) is such a huuuge win for Alberta and the U.S. No need to complicate things beyond that. The only loser? Carney. But he already is one, obviously

[Humanity @Fleeber24601]

@irgarner I agree it’s madness. Blame Carney. Obviously.

@CatholicDrip___ And we love Mary, our Mother. And we are mocked by Protestants for this. Perhaps motherhood itself means something different to them 🤔

@info_maiden I think I saw one! 😂 yay! As a white male, I never thought that I would be rare like a unicorn

It’s not just White people.

Mexican cleaning ladies don’t want to deal with them either.

@Harry__Faulkner False! I am American and I know that we must hold the line against Carney’s trade war

Every electron in the universe might be the same electron.

In 1940, John Wheeler called Richard Feynman and suggested that the reason every electron has exactly the same mass and charge, to a precision we cannot even measure a deviation from, is that there is only one of them.

A single electron, weaving forwards and backwards through time, threading through every moment of cosmic history, appearing as matter when it moves one way and as its antiparticle when it moves the other.

The idea was never proven, but it was never quite killed either. The math allows it.

An electron going backwards in time is mathematically identical to a positron going forwards, and the equations do not care which description you pick.

If Wheeler was right, then the particle in your retina reading this sentence is the same particle burning in the heart of a star ten billion light years away.

You are not made of many things. You are made of one thing, seen from many angles at once.

Why does almost no one look at The Wedding Feast at Cana, opposite the Mona Lisa?

[鈴森はるか 『haruka suzumori』 🇯🇵 @harukaawake]

Why do so many third worlders on this app constantly make excuses for China, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, etc?

While the US helped build some successful capitalist free-market economies, the socialist dictatorships helped set up the most backward, savage regimes where people are being tortured in gulags. People are executed for having different opinions in the millions.

I cannot think of a single successful country those countries have helped create. Not a single one. The Soviets intervened all across Europe and Africa. Which successful countries did they create? How about the Chinese? Which ones? Who has North Korea ever helped?

[Humanity @Fleeber24601]

@hardyrenos Obviously the liberals

[Humanity @Fleeber24601]

@Martyupnorth Not if you have so many outsiders who do not represent the soul of Alberta but rather came to Alberta just to personally benefit. They will vote their self interest. The tick will vote that the dog doesn’t take a bath.

THE DAY I BECAME A FULLY-FLEDGED RACIST NAZI

I didn’t discover I was a racist Nazi from a history documentary. I found out from Sean on Facebook.

It started when I said the government should live within its means. That was apparently my radical right-wing manifesto.

Sean, who has a Palestinian flag, a rainbow flag and “Be Kind” in his bio, immediately replied: “Typical right-wing Nazi.”

I stared at my phone. I was drinking coffee. I’ve been called many things over the years, but apparently Nazi is now on the list.

Then I made it worse. I said I wasn’t sure men should compete against women in women’s sport. Within seconds, people I’d never met were calling me a Nazi, fascist and bigot.

By lunchtime, I’d become a Nazi for believing Britain should control its borders, children shouldn’t have unrestricted access to TikTok, the government shouldn’t keep spending money it doesn’t have and someone’s race shouldn’t determine their rights.

Apparently, that last one was particularly dangerous.

Say everyone in Britain should be equal under the law and suddenly you’re a racist, colonialist and extremist—personally responsible for everything the British Empire ever did.

Ask whether dividing people by race or ancestry is really a good idea, or why we can’t have one set of rules for everyone, and watch the Facebook experts arrive.

I went to the shops wondering whether anyone would recognise my jackboots. It turns out they were just my old work boots. Bit disappointing, really.

Outside Tesco, Karen from the local activist group was collecting signatures demanding the government boycott Israeli products. She asked if I’d sign.

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t think Britain needs to involve itself in every conflict on the planet.”

“So you support Israel?”

“No. I said I’m not signing your petition.”

“So you don’t support Palestine?”

“I support innocent people not being murdered. I just don’t think signing your petition outside Tesco is going to solve the Middle East.”

She stared at me. “You’re one of those far-right people, aren’t you?”

And there it was. I’d gone from buying milk to being a far-right racist because I wouldn’t sign Karen’s petition.

Yep. Definitely jackboots.

Last time I checked, Nazis were into dictatorship, invasion and mass murder—not asking why the government can’t balance the books, whether borders should exist or whether everyone should be treated equally.

My generation grew up knowing what real Nazis were. They weren’t people who wanted controlled immigration or questioned government spending.

They were murderous tyrants responsible for some of the worst crimes in human history.

Now the word apparently means “person on Facebook who disagrees with me.”

That’s the problem: when everyone is a Nazi, nobody is. When everyone who questions something is called racist, the words stop being descriptions and become meaningless insults.

The first time someone calls you a Nazi, you wonder what you’ve said. The fiftieth time, you think: “Oh, is it Tuesday already?”

They think it’s a nuclear weapon. It isn’t. It’s a water pistol—and they’ve used it so often there’s nothing left in it.

So go on. Call me a Nazi. Call me a racist. I’m having a badge made:

“OFFICIAL RACIST NAZI—ASKS QUESTIONS.”

I’ll wear the bloody thing while I put the kettle on. 🇬🇧
