Remember when Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly got suspended multiple games for buying clothes at a discounted rate at a department store?

Now you can gamble on your own team as an underage and walk away with the same punishment. Wild.

If a lead Republican campaign official quit then leaked all this on their former boss, the left and their media allies would be celebrating them for putting country over party

Honestly, the more you dig into arrests records the more it becomes clear that something is going on here.

I have found over 50+ Hispanic men in my county in NC that are labeled as WHITE MALES in arrest records.

Almost ALL of them are illegal aliens.

How do you explain this?!

In the last chapter of Suicidal Empathy, I discuss the importance of immediate vs delayed gratification as it relates to seeking an immediate empathy-based dopamine hit. This research goes hand-in-hand with my point.

In 2019, seven years ago, when he was 34-years-old, Graham Platner logged into reddit and posted a response to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban.

Platner wrote:

"This video never gets old. Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."

Think about each line. "This video never gets old." Platner's implying he's watched the video several times and enjoys it. "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt."

That's what Platner thinks about his fellow Americans at war. If they're not good at killing or broader tactics, he has contempt for them. He displays no empathy. The opposite, in fact.

The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety.

Daniels was shot four times in this video and, ultimately, earned a Purple Heart.

When the video was initially released (2013), Pfc. Daniels was critical of himself in interviews, saying, "It wasn't the most tactically brilliant thing to do." He described that he was embarrassed by the video; that people could hear him screaming for help. But, also, he said: "I put my ass on the line for other guys."

Then, we have, again, Graham Platner, logging into reddit, in 2019, to comment: "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live."

For all those who say, "That's just how Marines talk," I'll tell you: Platner's comment got downvoted by the military community. Even if it didn't: We're not talking about the military anymore. We're talking about a 34-year-old man, years after service, logging in to mock another man who's being shot on video. We're also talking about the U.S. Senate, not boys-will-be-boys or Marines-will-be-Marines.

We're always told to view Platner as a changed man. 2013, when he made the rape apologia comments, was the "darkest point in his life," or so we have been told. So what was going on in 2019, such that Platner enjoyed watching a video of a man getting shot and mocking him? How many arcs of change are there in Platner's life? Was there a specific point where he discovered human empathy?

I couldn't help but think of that specific reddit comment while watching the video below. "Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles away from home," Platner says. Didn't he log in to reddit seven years ago to say, "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live" ?

I don't like being lied to.

The Diocese of Wichita is doing something right.

They have a 195% priest replacement rate (meaning the diocese has nearly double the number of seminarians needed to replace retiring or deceased priests).

The vast majority of seminarians come from homeschool or parochial schools. The diocesan Catholic schools are authentically Catholic.

Adoration chapels across the entire diocese. Praying for vocations is part of every parish’s culture.

Weekly Mass attendance is through the roof. Liturgies are reverent and embrace tradition.

If I’m a Catholic bishop, I’m looking at this diocese and taking notes. The blueprint for Catholic renewal in the USA is in Kansas.

This sounds cool. But wait.

400 diapers will last a family with a newborn approximately five weeks.

The program will cost the state approx. $12.4 million this year alone.

That money will be funneled through a company called Baby2Baby, which will then provide their branded diapers to 400 participating in hospitals (California has over 500 hospitals in total.)

Meaning that instead of lowering taxes and letting families keep their own money to buy essentials like diapers, California takes their money, pumps it through a “nonprofit” that has overhead and whose CEO made $240,000 in 2024, to provide a “free” service available only in certain locations, and that you could have bought yourself for much cheaper.

Greg Gutfeld just delivered a savage 2-minute monologue exposing exactly why 60% of Democrats are ending relationships over politics.

He nailed the hypocrisy with one brutal question about dads and Trump:

“If your dad loves Trump and you love your dad — shouldn’t you maybe question whether your dad doesn’t love a Hitler figure?”

GUTFELD: “You know, the difference between Dems and Republicans come down to one thing.”

“They apply moral value to political preference, and that would make sense if your political party praised Hitler or protected murderers and sex fiends.”

“But the mistake is, it’s not the Republicans. But they have always compared Republicans to some kind of existential threat.”

“They’ve done it with climate change, they’ve done it with compassion, they do it with Trump.”

“That allows them to label them as amoral.”

“Republicans are not evil. We have a different path to the pursuit of happiness, and serenity…”

“I don’t care that you hate Trump. Why should you care that I like him? The answer would be because he’s evil.”

“He’s like a Nazi. Well, this is where the whole thing falls apart.”

“What does that mean to me if I’m your Republican friend who voted for Trump? That you would believe I would support a Nazi. We’ve been friends for years.”

“If you are my friend, you have to realize that’s illogical, because how were we friends for 10 or 20 years and now you find out I was a fascist?”

“How did that happen?”

“You knew I was a right winger in 80s, in the 90s and now all of the sudden you’re like, oh I can’t be seen with him.”

“So the key moment in the self-realization of a liberal should be, if your dad loves Trump and you love your dad — shouldn’t you maybe question whether your dad doesn’t love a Hitler figure?”

“And therefore, maybe Trump is not a Hitler figure, and that flaw in your thinking should put into question the reliability on your filter, on your life.”

Democrats are destroying their own relationships over a lie.

Someone explain this to me like I’m 5 years old.

If I have someone who is on Medicare Part D and needs an Advair HFA inhaler- their copay is set at $387, which results a $44 LOSS on the drug to the pharmacy.

Yet, if you have no insurance coverage: you can sign up for FREE on the manufacturer’s website for a help card and get it for $35.00. The pharmacy is paid $29.00 over their actual cost of the drug.

Same drug, filled at the same pharmacy.

Two completely different outcomes for the patient and the pharmacy.

@JoyceCarolOates The White House East Wing bunker has been there since WWII. Roosevelt put it in. Trump is upgrading it. Which it sorely needs.

How do I know? That’s where my bedroom was.

Or, a simple Google search would’ve explained it for you.

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

The top 1% of income earners pay for 46% of all federal income taxes.

The bottom 50% pay only 2%.

So, we already do. This talking point only resonates with people who have the IQ of a turnip.
