America’s ruling class has performed another miracle.
They took the most basic truths in human civilization ... crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted by professional parasites ... and somehow rebranded all of that as “extremism.”
Incredible work, really.
Apparently, a “compassionate” society is one where the violent repeat offender gets another chance, the victim gets a candlelight vigil, the taxpayer gets the bill, the schoolkid gets passed along illiterate, the fraudster gets a grant, the NGO gets another contract, the illegal alien gets services, and the working American gets told to shut up and be more inclusive.
What a beautiful system.
Soft justice did not stay in the courtroom. It metastasized. It became soft borders, soft schools, soft parenting, soft welfare, soft standards, soft men, and soft bureaucrats explaining why every obvious solution is “too harsh.”
Lock up predators? Cruel.
Deport illegals? Hateful.
End generational welfare? Lacking empathy.
Punish fraud? Complicated.
Restore merit? Problematic.
Teach kids to read? Probably colonialism by Tuesday.
A serious country protects the innocent from the guilty. A decaying country protects the guilty from consequences and makes the innocent finance the experiment.
That’s America’s real crisis.
Not poverty. Not “root causes.” Not another fake expert panel.
Consequences.
We stopped imposing them on the people destroying the country, so now the country imposes them on everyone else.

The funniest part of billionaire tax speeches is that they always come from politicians who helped make housing unaffordable, healthcare unaffordable, energy unaffordable, and college unaffordable.
Then they point at the billionaire and say:
“He did this.”
No, sir.
Your donor class did this.
You just wrote the rules….
Someone got $8,000 bonus paycheck.
Then:
Federal Tax: $3,357
CPP: $476
EI: $130
Total taken: $3,963
Net pay: $4,036
Almost exactly half.
You don’t get a bonus.
You get to split it with the government.
They didn’t work a single hour for it.
Dan Bongino SLAPS AROUND The View’s Joy Behar: “The reason socialism remains popular with a class of generally stupid people, I don’t know any other way to say it, is because they just refuse to learn what it is. Socialism is the government control of the means of production. So when you get a dunce cap wearer like Joy Behar goes, like, ‘You know, we built a road and there’s like an ambulance, so we all love socialism,’ you should ask a question, well, does the government control the asphalt business? Does the government control the construction of ambulances? Because if they don’t, then that’s not socialism.”
“Read a freaking book sometime. It doesn’t hurt… Elon’s got the Grok thing. You can ask it a question. It’ll actually give you — if your intelligence is not great, then you can go try the artificial kind. It’s like a surrogate brain. It does the work for you, Joy. Socialism is popular because it appeals to imbeciles who just don’t want to do their homework.”
You couldn't say anything more stupid than this.. It's their HOME. They paid for it along with the many years of taxes it took to live in it and pay for community services. Tax em, don't tax em, whatever, but don't say something this stupid ever again..
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun wants to abolish property taxes for seniors.
I say sure, let’s do it. But it should come with a condition.
Seniors need to downsize, first.
This is such a stupid statement.. How did we get here folks.. What's worse is those of you reading his statement and going "Yeah, do it!" My daughter has no business making $25 an hour working the cash register at 20 yrs old while figuring out a career path.
@Iamlegnd10 The only thing that makes no sense is "why now." College sports are truly being treated like a business now for both parties and being bigger faster stronger has never been more important so it seems backwards but what do I know..
I’ve gotten many questions about a date cutoff for the NCAA’s new aged based eligibility rule.
According to this NCAA website the date is Sept 1.
If you turn 19 before that date a year of high school or prep school will start your 5 year clock & count as one of your 5 seasons.
@Iamlegnd10 Those peoples kids just aren’t that level and they can’t grasp it. But there are a number that need that year for a variety of reasons, sometimes it money available in scholarships and roster availability so they stash a kid.
@Iamlegnd10 You are looking at the general enrollment. I am talking about those that are specifically sent there by colleges to stash them there for a year and yes it happens all the time. There are still kids with the right birthday that will use this system
I may be gay, but couldn’t give two shits about removing pride flags. What concerns me more is the absolute number of gaytards who think Islam is on THEIR side. Absolute morons.
