We never asked to give an entire month to celebrate people doing things with their genitals. No one cares what Plumb thinks. They are welcome to celebrate their sexual desires with each other without forcing all of us to be a part of it.

[Heidi Hatch KUTV @tvheidihatch]

Senator Jen Plumb released the following statement in response to Governor Cox's declaration of June as "Fidelity Month" in Utah:

“I am angry and deeply disappointed by Governor Cox’s decision to replace Pride Month with “Fidelity Month.”

“Pride Month is not a marketing slogan or a political inconvenience. It is a recognition of a community that has fought for generations to be seen, valued, and treated with dignity. It is a celebration of people who have too often been told they do not belong.

“What makes this especially painful is that many LGBTQ+ Utahns supported leaders who spoke the language of compassion, understanding, and inclusion. They showed up, trusted those words, and helped build the coalitions that put those leaders in office. To now see Pride Month deliberately pushed aside feels less like a difference of opinion and more like a betrayal of that trust.

“The message sent by this action is clear: at a time when LGBTQ+ people are facing increasing hostility across the country, Utah’s highest elected official chose not to stand with them.

“I reject that message."

“To Utah’s LGBTQ+ community: You are valued. You are treasured. You are loved. You belong here. No proclamation can erase your contributions, your families, your history, or your humanity.

“It is Pride Month, and I will continue to celebrate it.”

What we make and who we are is inextricably connected to our rich history.
And if you destroy that history and the idea of higher power, you destroy a part of each and everyone of us.
You destroy our moorings and our grounding. that’s why I sculpted the national World War I Memorial. To fight the destroyers!

🚨 BREAKING: In a STUNNING moment, Sec. Rubio reveals USAID not only helped NGOs commit fraud but PURPOSEFULLY UNDERMINED and CONTRADICTED US State Department directives and interests in foreign nations

THAT IS DE FACTO TREASON!!

"It operated almost as an independent State Department, and often times USAID was operating in contravention and contradiction of what the Embassy was trying to accomplish in the host country!"

"And one of the complaints you would get from many developing countries is that they would get flooded with NGOs that were picked for them, these NGOs would then operate in the country without even coordinating with the government, doing whatever they wanted and pursuing what they wanted."

"In some cases, it extended well beyond food and medicine, it extended to political interference and all sorts of other activities in these countries that were undermining the national interest and the credibility of the United States."

And if there is a war, the "native" or "cultural" German men will be sent to die, leaving an even smaller number of "native" German men to remain as citizens of the now "multicultural" country with no unifying culture or belief system.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

I verified this and it’s true

“Germany can no longer raise an army, simply because of how many Muslims are now German citizens”

“Now, allegedly, and I will say allegedly here, Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz has privately admitted that he's worried about the country's ability to raise an army, simply because Germany doesn't want to put weapons in the hands of hundreds of thousands of Muslim Germans.

And he'd be right in worrying, because a recent study of young Muslim Germans showed that nearly half expressed latent Islamist attitudes, which are, you know, the kind of attitudes that turn Muslims into terrorists, and more than half said that their religious commandments were more important to them than even German democracy.

And if you ask me, these don't sound like the attitudes of Germans. These sound like the attitudes of Germany's enemies”

Let’s get into the facts

A 2025–2026 German government-backed study by MOTRA, Radicalization Monitoring System, involving the Federal Criminal Police Office, found that 45.1% of Muslims under 40 in Germany hold either “manifest” (11.5%) or “latent” (33.6%) Islamist attitudes.

This includes preferences for Sharia over the constitution, antisemitic views, and Islamist leanings

Tucker Carlson also reported on this

When you have a significant population of Muslims who hold a pro-Sharia Law mindset, you can’t trust them in your military

Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.

Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.

Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.

It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.

Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.

That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.

Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.

The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.

[🇺🇸 The American Culturist 🇺🇸 @MericaCulture]

In 1776 Daniel Boone rescued his daughter Jemima along with two other girls who were abducted by Cherokee-Shawnee Indians.

Boone along with a few other men tracked them the Indians for two days before ambushing them and saving the girls.

This would make an epic movie.

You mean government ownership. The public (Like Always) will get nothing.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

The truth is that there were freaking awesome natives and there were also freaking awesome colonizers. There were also crappy natives and crappy colonizers.

[🪶Native Patriot 🇺🇸 @LaNativePatriot]

“Why do you support the colonizers native??!”

Because half my family is white

My kids are white, my wife is white

And you dumb asses want me to be loyal to a melanin count, rather than the ideals of the Christian men that built this Country

To be honest, I don’t care about your skin color but the demonization of whites has gone way too far.

As a lesbian woman, I fucking hate Pride Month with every fiber of my being.

It makes us look like absolute shit.

The entire LGB has been hijacked by groomers, men in cheap wigs with toilet-paper tits, freaks duct-taping their peanuts to their asses, pedophiles, fetish weirdos and every other kind of gross filth parading down the street.

Real gay, lesbian, and bisexual people want NOTHING to do with this circus.

We just want to be left the fuck alone.The LGB community condemns these degenerates and every organization pandering to them.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. 🖕

[Kenny Carmody @KennyCarmody]

Every obedience experiment in history had the same overlooked finding.

Not everyone complied.

In Milgram’s lab, 35% refused to deliver the final shock. In Asch’s line experiments, 25% never conformed, not once, across any trial. In Zimbardo’s prison, at least one guard refused to dehumanize. One prisoner demanded a lawyer instead of a doctor and broke the psychological frame entirely.

We spent decades studying the ones who obeyed.

We barely asked what made the others different.

That question matters more now than it ever has.

The resisters in the COVID era were not difficult to find. Physicians who filed exemptions and lost their licenses. Nurses who walked away from careers rather than mandate patients into decisions they hadn’t genuinely chosen. Scientists who published contrary data knowing what it would cost them. Parents who stood alone at school board meetings. Ordinary people who simply said, quietly, without drama , no.

What made them different?

Research consistently identifies a cluster of factors. Not personality traits you either have or don’t. Situational and cognitive patterns that can be cultivated.

First: prior reflection on authority. The resisters had usually thought, before the crisis, about the limits of institutional trust. They weren’t cynics. They were people who had already asked the question “under what conditions would I refuse?” before anyone was asking them to comply.

Second: a concrete reference point outside the consensus. A value, a principle, an oath, a relationship that existed independently of the institutional structure demanding compliance. Something the system couldn’t reach.

Third: at least one other person. Milgram found that a single dissenting confederate reduced compliance dramatically. The resisters rarely stood entirely alone. They found each other. Sustained each other. Gave each other permission.

Fourth: the willingness to tolerate social pain. Not immunity to it. Tolerance of it. They felt the pressure. They felt the exclusion. They chose the discomfort of integrity over the comfort of belonging.
None of this is innate. All of it is learnable.

The most important thing Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo taught us is not how fragile conscience is.

It’s that conscience can hold, if you’ve trained it, named its limits, and found even one other person willing to hold theirs beside you.

Build that now. Because the experiment is always running.

Until then stay humble.
