@commonsens77 @RandPaul @FireNewz Where is it being held up? The senate. Why can’t they pass through the senate? Because they don’t have the majority needed.

- You: "My stocks went up 10%."

- Government: "Congratulations! That's taxable."

- You: "But inflation was 8%. I only really gained 2%."

- Government: "We tax the full 10%."

- You: "You tax the inflation you created?"

- Government: "Capital gains are capital gains."

- You: "So you profit from debasing my money twice?"

- Government: "You're not an economist."

I am a lifelong Democrat. I served on President Clinton’s National Security Council and in the State Department under Madeleine Albright. I am also a lifelong human rights and civil rights advocate.

But every Democrat and every American should recognize that the DSA represents a fundamental threat to our party and our country.

This is not a story about a few idealists seeking to reduce healthcare costs. It is about a small group of radical extremists pursuing a strategy to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately our country in order to impose an agenda that would devastate our economy and fundamentally dismantle our system of government.

Don’t take my word for it. Listen to the full conversation between Fox News’ Martha MacCallum and New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo and judge for yourself.

RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost.

"It's a huge, huge tragedy."

"One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids."

"We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot."

"A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves."

"So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative."

"It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.

That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.

Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...

...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.

Why?

Because they were GREEK characters.

I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.

I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.

They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.

And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.

We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.

We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.

Odysseus is a GREEK hero.

Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.

Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.

Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."

It’s just insulting.

Stop it.

[Liam Out Loud @liam_out_loud]

Tom,

I've read your work and have enjoyed it. I'm also a longtime admirer of Nolan's films.

That said, I've expressed disappointment with some of the creative decisions surrounding The Odyssey, particularly aspects of the casting and dialogue.

I think there's a more balanced position here. If this film turns out to be as good as you believe it is, it will be despite those decisions, not because of them.

Nolan may very well have made a great film. I genuinely hope he has. I'll be seeing it with an open mind and will judge it on its own merits.

Where I think your argument falls short is in dismissing those who recognize that many of these choices are better understood as political decisions shaped by contemporary ideological pressures rather than purely artistic ones.

For years, governments, NGOs, universities, and major corporations have openly pursued policies aimed at redistributing what they describe as cultural representation and equity. Whether one supports those goals or not, this isn't a conspiracy theory. It's articulated plainly in their own standards, diversity frameworks, and institutional policies.

What many people find frustrating is not simply that these priorities exist, but that their influence is so often denied. That persistent insistence that obvious political considerations are merely organic artistic choices feels like gaslighting.

What critics say also carries far less weight than it once did. They overwhelmingly praised Star Wars: The Last Jedi, while audience reaction was deeply divided. Time and again, audiences have been told a film is a masterpiece only to discover that it places ideological messaging ahead of compelling storytelling. Fair or not, that history has eroded trust.

I'm approaching The Odyssey hoping it's every bit as good as you say it is. But I also think you should be more charitable toward people who have grown weary of seeing beloved stories repeatedly filtered through contemporary political priorities. Their skepticism was earned.

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense.

It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

@WallStreetApes Here’s the newest update. He was just released from jail before this happened 🙃

[Bre2t @LumpnessMonster]

Problem here is Portland, is the city got given the stadium by the now deceased previous owner for $1, and they have a contract that they must maintain it.
And the new owner isn’t a billionaire, he, like many “owners” nowadays, is actually a group of people who help pay for it.
When you also consider the money the city/state gains from having the arena, for more than just the main sport of basketball, the math speaks for itself. We make more money for taxes than we lose. But the catch is, the government doesn’t give that back to the people, they siphon it for their budget. The issue lies in the government itself, not the new owner.
