Machiavelli was wrong: the end does not justify the means. Edmund Burke was right: “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history.
That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail.
Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems… (thread) 🧵
Until these babies were rescued, they had never touched grass. It was frustrating sometimes when we had to continually clean up after them. But they more than repaid us by filling our lives with joy and sloppy kisses. I’m so sad that @KristiNoem never understood that joy.
If this does not appall you, never call yourself pro-life. Isn’t it incredibly sad that the people who proudly call themselves pro-life are usually the ones who are against such programs? If you believe in God (and I do), tell me how you intend to justify this to God. Shameful!
@SenTedCruz, @JohnCornyn, how sad is that you do the bidding of someone who doesn't care about our country and it is taking someone from UTAH (!!!) to show that country is more important than party or cult. Come on, Texas senators, find your courage! I know it's there somewhere!
Mitt Romney: “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is is really appalling."
A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.
Human beings died. If you are a Texas legislator and you claim to be pro-life, I need to hear your anguish, your outrage, your anger about this tragedy. I need to hear that you intend to demand answers AND changes immediately. Otherwise, you are just a clanging cymbal.
“U.S. Border Patrol agents were unable to enter the area from the U.S. side after Texas National Guard troops, under the direction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, prevented them from doing so.”
The woman & 2 children died. https://t.co/eyQDMgSRIk
To be clear @GregAbbott_TX you attached vouchers to pub-Ed funding. If you cared about children & teachers you would allow both issues to stand alone, independent of one another. Why haven’t you funded pub-Ed w/out vouchers? It would pass easily like it has in previous sessions.
@SenRickScott@CFBPlayoff@FSUFootball Oh my, I know FSU fans are disappointed, but you, as a U.S. senator, need to be at least as outraged over Senator Tuberville's dangerous game with military promotions as you are a football game. Please rescind your silly letter and focus on your job. Eyerolls!
To those offended by the phrase “Happy Holidays”, can I point out that “Holiday” is HOLY day. Don’t see the problem. Now, 10,000 children will die today from hunger and related illnesses. THAT, my brothers and sisters in Christ, is something to be upset about. Priorities!
“We say Merry Christmas not happy holidays… Kneeling for the anthem does not make you brave, it makes you a disrespectful little shit.. There are two genders. You get two choices”
Thank you to the bipartisan coalition of Texas legislators who stood up for children, for fiscal sanity, for public education and who had the courage to stand up to the bullying of Governor Abbott and to those with deep pockets who seek to harm public education. Thank you!
Funding private schools with public funds is wrong. Funding private schools with public funds is wrong. It’s not rocket science. Once again, for those in the thrall of Wilks and Dunn, funding private schools with public funds is wrong.
Tomorrow, the bipartisan anti-voucher majority in the Texas House will defend our public schools and fight against Greg Abbott’s voucher scheme.
Public money belongs in public schools. We will never sell out our kids. #txlege
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. (Edmund Burke)
Texas legislators, your silence is deafening.
Either you support Phelan’s stance or you implicitly support Fuentes.
In statement, House Speaker Dade Phelan spox @caitwittman calls on Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks to terminate Jonathan Stickland and "clean house," lest they be remembered as "the billionaires who bankrolled a sexual predator (Slaton) and invited Hitler followers into the party."
What sets us apart from the terrorists is we believe in the fundamental dignity of every human life.
Israeli.
Palestinian.
Arab.
Jew.
Muslim.
Christian.
If we give that up – the terrorists win.
And we can never let them win.
This is not a tough or a close call. We must strongly and loudly condemn Naziism, anti-semitism and hate. Refusal to speak up is to encourage such hate.
Never forget that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. (Edmund Burke)
A thorough, worthwhile read from @terrywilsonTX. @DefendTXLiberty’s ties to neo-Nazis, anti-semitism and anti-American sentiment are no “blunder”. They are far from isolated incidents.
Please give this a read. We are owed accountability and answers from @defendtxliberty
