DSA Co-chair Gustavo Gordillo just explained to Martha MacCallum that his family fled Peru during the violence of the Maoist Shining Path to escape the ravages of the "imposition of capitalism and American imperialism" . . . so they came to the United States...
On America’s 250th, remember that you are descended from an insanely ambitious person who left behind comfort, friends, and family to seek out a better life in a new world.
Do something equally insane and ambitious with your life to honor them.
Must read from @jsolomonReports: Intercepts captured by US intelligence found the Ukrainian government planned to launder hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars (earmarked as energy $$$) into the campaign of Joe Biden.

You can see the game here. The Democrats take every deep blue metropolitan area and run as many districts as they can through them in order to overwhelm the suburban and rural areas.
Don't shed a single tear for these shameless cheaters. They have been screwing over Republicans — and Americans — for decades.
The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks.
Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility.
The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with large amounts of taxpayer funding to build an aircraft, the Langley Aerodrome. Despite all the money, institutional backing, and elite prestige, Langley and his team could not get it to fly, culminating in a series of very public failures, the last on December 8, 1903.
So when the New York Times declared that flight was millions of years away, what it was really saying was that if the most credentialed and well-funded “experts” cannot do it, then it cannot be done.
A mere nine days later, the elites’ proclamation of impossibility lay in ruins. Two totally unknown bicycle mechanics from Ohio achieved the first powered flight using improvised parts, a few hundred dollars of their own money, and sheer persistence.
The story of flight is, at its core, a story of the triumph of American individualism over elite credentialism. The fact that it was the New York Times that inadvertently delivered the proof is the most fitting conclusion imaginable.

Protesting is actually about petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. The word for traumatizing kids at church to effect political ends is "terrorism."
Wow.
FNC reported today that anti-Israel activists on Brown's campus demanded last year that the University take down some cameras to protect "protestors."
Now the school won't answer whether they complied, and if that played a role in the limited footage of the shooter.
This is treasonous…
60% of rental demand in America during the Biden Administration was foreign born.
50% of FHA loans with US government tax credits were given to foreigners.
@OpinantThe@KatiePavlich@robbystarbuck I was in law school when the cases, brought by well meaning advocates, came down. I well remember my professor saying, “ We will all rue the day when the asylums are closed and the mentally ill wind up on the street where they will be a danger to themselves and the public”.
