@daveatherton Was it an attack or a country defending itself . . .

Coincidence?

@cabinsmountain Let’s not overlook what progressive values have done to what was once urban beauty.

The world population (8 billion) hoax. I’ve known for a long time this to be true.

New paper: every law in America is technically public. But not really, until now!

With @DenisPeskoff at UC Berkeley, we built a corpus of ~every publicly accessibly city and county law, and released a huge chunk of it!

2.2 million laws, you're (probably) covered in it!

As a general rule, anytime Barack Obama lectures the country or its people on their purported sins—with Khalil Gibran pop platitudes—he is seeking absolution for his own obsessions by projecting his own guilty desires onto others.

The latest? At the dedication of his narcissistic Obama Presidential Center in Chicago—a $850 million flak-tower, monolithic boondoggle mired in debt—Obama lectured us on the need to resist the allure off "money, attention, [and] fame."

Thus spoke the owner of four homes, three of them multimillion-dollar mansions, whose last inert year in office was spent closing book and Netflix deals that ensured he would become a multimillionaire the moment he left office, and on spec, jets private to sermonize to various audiences–often at $400,000 a shot—on their own false-consciousness shortcomings.

Plain-speaking, frugal Harry Truman in obscure retirement in Independence, Missouri Obama certainly is not.

@MericaCulture @HardPass4 Imagine all that had to transpire to get us here,

The sacrifice, the dedication, the humanity . . .

Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

While they keep us divided as We the People — by race, gender, religion, class, and political party — both Republicans and Democrats have participated in the same financial shell game for decades.

Did you know that every administration in Pennsylvania, Republican and Democrat alike, has amortized the teachers’ pension system instead of fixing it?

Did you know Pennsylvania’s public pension liabilities are estimated in the tens of billions of dollars?

Did you know nearly every state in America, except North Dakota, is facing serious pension stress or long-term pension instability?

No. But most people can tell you:

- who Kim Kardashian is dating,
- what new Stanley cup dropped at Target,
- what wine tasting event is coming up,
- what Trump did this weekend,
- what sale is happening at Lululemon,
- the newest Starbucks drink,
- or the latest White Claw flavor to pour into that Stanley cup while sitting at Johnny’s baseball game.

People know celebrity gossip, shopping trends, neighborhood drama, and social media nonsense better than they know how their own government functions.

Meanwhile the country is rotting from the inside out.

Children are anxious, depressed, medicated, isolated, addicted to screens, and disconnected from reality because too many parents are distracted, uninformed, absent, or emotionally checked out. Schools, unions, politicians, corporations, and algorithms are raising children while parents scroll.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying life, relaxing, or having fun. But there must be balance.

A free society requires civic participation. Parenting requires presence. Citizenship requires responsibility.

There comes a point where people must stop outsourcing their duty to protect their children, their communities, and their future.

BREAKING: Millville, New Jersey just blocked the LARGEST proposed data center project ever stopped in the state. The 2.6 million sq. ft. 1.4 gigawatt hyperscale campus would have used enough electricity to power over 1 million homes.

Students and farmers stopped this!!

The reason we knew of the cancer inflection is because we did the work the trolls were not willing to do (remember, they are always lazy - one trick ponies)...

Our system tracked NUMEROUS (25+) associated data schema - far too many to be imported to GitHub... because the morons who insisted that I do this had never really done it themselves.

It was an act - they were pretending...

I wasn't.
