Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

In shocking news, calling your political opponents Nazis makes crazy people want to kill them. Who could have predicted this?

Hasan Piker: "KiII the motherf*ckers. Let the streets soak in their red, capitalist bIood!"

3 days ago, the NYT promoted him

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Here is what I tend to notice – – the pastors who are most concerned with Christians being overly political because they are conservative are the same pastors whose feeds are almost nothing, but their negative thoughts about Trump.

Whereas most of the politically conservative pastors I know rarely post about Trump.

Funny that.

[Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon]

The week we learned Charlottesville was funded by the Left and NYT published an interview justifying murder, President Trump survives a third assassination attempt.

We don't have a political violence problem in America. We have a Left-wing political violence problem in America

...Sen. Chuck Schumer, who has blocked their funding for over 70 days, immediately posted, "I’m grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and am praying everyone remains safe." The only thing more impressive than their stout courage is Schumer's striking lack of shame.

A letter signed by more than 250 journalists, including the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Association of Black Journalists, Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, and Ann Curry, reads that those who attended tonight should "forcefully demonstrate
opposition to President Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of the press."

They also said the White House Correspondents Association should not "normalize [Trump's] behavior but instead fight back against any officeholder who has waged systematic war" against journalists.

The rhetoric in this document likely to come under scrutiny given that it received extensive media coverage.

It is worth noting that the many Democratic leaders being protected last night by Secret Service agents (including the one who took a shot to his vest) are still refusing to pay them unless ICE and Border Protection are defunded...

SPLC revenue before Charlotesville - $51,871,438
SPLC revenue after Charlotesville - $133,463,398

The SPLC paid $270,000 to a Unite the Right Rally leader.

The "hate" grift in a single image.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets.

The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural.

Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them.

That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it.
After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble.

The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first.
Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon.

American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life.
Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake.

Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs.

We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating.

So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving.
We were manufacturing jealousy.

And it worked. The Wall came down.

But here’s what no one accounted for.

When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs.

And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle.

An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas.

And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized.

So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening.

Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude.

Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated.

Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass.

Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar.

Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity.

What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle.

For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked.

Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid.

Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.”

We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries.

Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit.

You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators.

What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization.

It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine.

That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report.

Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us”

Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

🧵Alot of people are having a good laugh right now at the antics at the convention of Canada's New Democratic Party (the NDP). I particular, this woman, who has chaired the convention. Her name is Adrienne Smith, and while the clips may be funny, there is nothing funny about her agenda or the influence she wields. 1/9

@Protestia He’s obviously guilty of gluttony. Preach on that.

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

2 years ago SBC President @pastorclint promised he would "absolutely" call for the release of the video showing the ambush of @PastorMikeStone by a woman at the 2021 SBC. I have reminded & encouraged him to keep his word many times. So far he has not.

Clint has been a definite upgrade from SBC presidents of the last 10 years & I believe him to be a man of his word. I have real appreciation for him personally & for much of what he has done in his role leading the SBC. I have urged him, prayed, & continue to hope that he will do what is right in this matter. The SBC already has enough examples of failed leadership in the SBC. We need more humble, bold, God-fearing leaders who are willing to honor God regardless of cost or consequences.

What happened to Mike Stone was wicked. Many weak men helped weaponize the false accusations against him that resulted in his barely not being elected as SBC President. Instead, we got a dishonest plagiarist, @EdLitton.

The surveillance video exists. A member of the EXCom told Mike they owe him an apology & its President, @Jeff_Iorg has confirmed to Mike personally that the video exists, but refuses to release it.

It is past time for this travesty of justice, perpetrated by failed leaders who fear men more than they fear God, to be acknowledged & repented of.

I hope that everyone who is tired of SBC leadership refusing to do what is right will demand that this video be released.

Dear GOP:

Democrats have created 3 hour wait times at the airport because they don’t want illegal aliens deported.

There’s your messaging. Put it on repeat.

An ex-Muslim who was sold as a child bride at age 13 and suffered inhumane rape and torture in Iran at the hands of her Muslim husband speaks out against Islam after fleeing Iran and building a new life in America.

@libsoftiktok It’s a silly way to get clicks on social media.
