I love how the Dems’ new message is affordability, communism, emptying the prisons and driving the Jews into the sea

Absolutely true I-am-not-making-this-up fun fact: this is the exact same punishment that Caitlin Clark will get if she claps her hands in a game three more times

[Sarah Isgur @whignewtons]

The Court was reading an act of Congress that said there was no judicial review of TPS designations. If you don’t like that, change the law.

Changing the Court won’t matter if you’re unwilling to pass new laws.

The absolute worst sports organization in world history, and it's not even close

I think it's well past time for some sober-minded billionaires to step in, realize the financial opportunity of a rival women's basketball league without daily ritual prison yard beatings its biggest media asset, and let this clown league enjoy its well deserved death

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

It pains me to say this as a basketball purist, but at this point I almost want Caitlin Clark to walk away from the game.

No player should have to keep getting assaulted while everyone who should have her back stays silent.

Worse, opposing players now seem to know they can do this without fear of retribution.

This has become much bigger than basketball.

The Democrats have nurtured an organization, the Democratic Socialists of America, that is determined to effectively destroy the Democratic Party in a hostile takeover. And the Democratic Party has literally no clue how to deal with it, because our parties are hollow shells.

It is possible that we'll need to require Remedial Tolkien Studies for everyone to better equip them for the present moment.

I am not able to communicate with you directly b/c you have blocked me. I note you say you "learned the behavior." I am assuming that means that you learned how to behave like a woman. Being a "woman" is not a "behavior" that a man learns. Do you not see how insulting that is?

[Ulrich L. Lehner @ulrichlehner]

The “creed” the SSPX https://t.co/0qQHr86HIl has published smuggles in a whole series of “truths” that were never (!) de fide. Not even the Council of Trent speaks of two sources of revelation! This document claims, a Catholic has to be a creationist who rejects any kind of evolutionary development and that one must read Genesis in a literal and historical sense which makes St. Augustine a heretic then too (and others, too).
SSPX has done the Holy Father a favor, because they demonstrate just how astonishingly ignorant they are, how embarrassingly shallow their knowledge of tradition is, how little they have read and are reading. If @DrKwasniewski calls this self-made 'creed' 'fantastic' and 'great' it only shows that he has never heard of the theological notes ...

I hate this podcast and think the guys who run it are gross. This woman, though, isn't a one-off; the lack of basic historical facts among Gen Z and millennials is staggering

Totally normal, sane, and absolutely not antisemitic behavior.

The ethos of American general elections has become “Yeah, our candidate is batsh*t crazy and far outside anything resembling the consensus of normie voters, but the other side is eeeeeeever so slightly worse, so vote for us.”

MAJOR COVERUP IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Whistleblower footage shows multiple @kckschools officials discussing strategies for secretly hiding students’ gender changes from parents.

“Everybody is kind of figuring out where can we find loopholes, where can we sneak things in?”

“I had a kid come out to me.. and I go, do you feel safe at home? Are you going to tell your parents?”

The footage was obtained by @KellyLohrke who shared it with us.

@usedgov must step in and investigate this district. Extremely disturbing!

[Columbia Jewish & Israeli Students ✡️🇮🇱 @CUJewsIsraelis]

Congratulations, constituents of NY-13. Your next congresswoman is the founder of an organization that calls for death to America and the "total eradication of Western civilization." Great choice.

[Peter Meijer @PeterMeijer]

You will absolutely be hearing a lot about Chevalier from the GOP, bc her policy positions are straight out of a conservative strategist’s fever dream.

After a hellish week in a Paris Airbnb with no AC (100°F outside, 108°F+ inside), I started looking into why the French are so opposed to AC.
There's many reasons: bureaucracy, poverty, etc. But the main one is decades of environmental campaigns that convinced people AC is the devil.
The result? You can't escape the heat. Most buses, metro lines, and shopping malls have no AC.
This Monday, 850 schools are closing because classroom temperatures exceed 104°F.
In Nantes, they built a brand-new train station and a hospital without AC for environmental reasons. The station is now partially closed because it's become a "furnace" that endangers travelers. Hospitals are covering windows with emergency foil blankets to protect patients.
The French demonize air conditioning because it creates carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Never mind that France already has one of most carbon-free electricity in the world thanks to nuclear, or that it accounts for less than 1% of global emissions.
They also oppose AC because it "just displace the problem" by dumping heat into the street. Never mind that studies suggest even if an entire city were air-conditioned, the increase in outdoor temperature would be at most about 1°F.
Instead, people are willing to endure 104°F+ indoors to avoid a marginal increase outdoors.
This ideology kills more people than firearms in the United States.
Across Europe, between 50,000 and 70,000 people die from heat every year, mostly the elderly and the poor. Compare that to roughly 44,000 Americans killed by firearms.
For comparison, despite having a similar population, deserts, and more extreme temperatures, the United States has only about 2,500 heat-related deaths per year thanks to widespread AC.
That's what bothers me most. The moralizing posture completely detached from reality.
People feel morally superior for "not polluting." They criticize America and its guns while tolerating policies that kills even more people.
I share this anecdote because I know it's shocking to Americans. Here, schools or hospitals reaching 104°F would be unnaceptable.
The absurdity is immediately obvious to us because we're looking from the outside. We see the gap between moral intentions and real-world consequences.
But we're no different. In America, we have dozens of similar issues where we're just as irrational, and we've become blind to them because the solution isn't politically acceptable.
How do can we bring back logic and pragmatism in our societies ahead of irrational political ideological ?

🚨 JUST IN: The MLB has BACKED DOWN, DECLINES to fine the Giants players after they wore Bible verses on the LGBTQ pride caps

"The players were neither fined nor disciplined, nor will they ever be." — letter to Sen. Josh Hawley

The MLB ADMITS they screwed up.

NEVER BACK DOWN when defending the religious freedom of Christians!

HUGE blunder by the MLB that this even became an issue. Christians won't take it!

NEW from me

The owner of the coffee shop which refused Dan Goldman's "AIPAC" money:

1. Owes NY almost $400,000 in taxes
2. Accused Israel of doing 9/11
3. Donated to Graham Platner (naturally)
4. Been repeatedly cited by NYC health inspectors

Periodic reminder that men should absolutely talk about their problems & emotions but absolutely not with a therapist. Find a priest, a coach, a good friend. But don't take risks with psychotherapy until state boards start canceling licenses for these public displays of insanity
