Guys! I don't know if you knew this - but the Japanese DELIBERATELY attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941!

And now, the US goverment calls Japan an "ally" and offers them aid and military security guarantees?

How can this be?

America must be controlled by the Japanese!

- How USS Liberty tards sound.

[Jack V Lloyd @jackvlloyd]

There are 15 major US military bases in Japan.

There are approximately 54,500 US soldiers stationed in Japan.

The US government spends approximately $5.25 billion on military defense in Japan annually.

The US government has given Japan $26 billion (inflation adjusted) in non-military aid since 1945.

The Japanese government has spent about $550 million on lobbying the US government between 2015 and 2025.

Japan is the largest US debt holder with $1.19 TRILLION in US Treasury securities.

No media op demonizing the Japanese.

No social media hatred of Japanese people for having their military protection subsidized by US security agreements.

No fearmongering that Japan holds the largest debt over American heads.

No, "Japan controls our politicians" and "Japan controls our economy" nonsense.

No, "Why is it Japan first, not America first?"

You know why?

Because the selective outrage is manufactured hate not rooted in a genuine distaste for foreign aid and foreign bases.

It's called a "wedge issue" where different political bodies align to push a unified hatred toward one group for their respective end goals.

For leftists, it's their anti-colonial, anti-whiteness, anti-Capitalist narrative.

For Muslim-majority countries, it's to divide Americans and Israelis and Christians and Jews to hedge more power and influence over the Middle East and the West.

For Chinese and Russian state media, it's a way to break up US alliances that are counter to their BRICS initiative.

You need to understand how the operations work to get it.

It's okay to be against foreign aid.

It's NOT okay to be rage-baited into selective hypocrisy and to be used by leftists and foreign states to destroy the Western Enlightenment and Western Capitalism.

Learn the signs so you don't get TRICKED.

The difference between the right leaning libertarians and the left leaning libertarians is that the right leaning libertarians would return their shopping cart because it’s the polite and respectful thing to do, while the left leaning libertarians would just leave their shopping cart out in the parking lot because they 𝒄𝒂𝒏 as it’s not like there’s any victims or consequences.

"This terrible idea makes a MOCKERY out of President Trump's famous promise to 'drain the swamp' and it really optically couldn't come at a worse time... they're going to dole out billions in taxpayer dollars to their political allies while the American people are struggling to afford groceries and gas... YIKES!"

My speech to the Libertarian Party national convention.

The Libertarian Party has become detrimental to the cause of liberty.

U.S. flag but each star is scaled to their state’s population and geographical position.

[Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕 @jeremykauffman]

Many Republicans will privately admit they're fairly libertarian.

They just don't want to be associated with the progressive freak show that is the Libertarian Party.

Most libertarians are right-wing. Libertarian nationalism lets us take our label back.

[Brad Polumbo @brad_polumbo]

Hasan Piker is guilty of the same “social murder” that he believes can justify assassination.

He is worth millions of dollars, owns a nearly $3 million home, wears expensive clothing and jewelry, and otherwise lives far beyond what he needs to survive.

Meanwhile, according to GiveWell, it costs roughly $3,000 to $5,500 to save a human life via charitable giving.

This means that Piker is actively choosing to engage in “social murder” and let hundreds, if not thousands, of people die by hoarding his wealth and denying other human beings life-saving resources.

According to his own twisted logic, that would make him a legitimate target for assassination. (I do not agree or want harm to come to him).

[Caleb Hammer @sircalebhammer]

I'm sorry, but no.

SS will have a mandatory benefits cut of 23% by 2032

1) life expectancy has climbed from when it was made 65 to 67

2) Income cap has not been adjusted in decades

Fastest growing category in fed budget is interest on debt. We cannot afford populist policies

Such a tragic, tragic loss. Totally preventable. When will we learn it doesn't have to be this way?

@jkava8 It was great meeting you at the basketball game man. I wanted to get a picture with you after the game but I had to take a piss 🤘

[Lois McLatchie Miller @LoisMcLatch]

I’m thrilled the TPUSA halftime show did well. It looked fantastic.

But - (ducks for cover) - the Right should be careful not to overreact to Bad Bunny.

The music is not to my taste. But many Americans hold Latin American heritage, and it’s not wrong to pay homage to it.

The American flag was honoured first in any case.

The performance literally promoted marriage to an audience of 127 million.

It was fine.

Making a mountain out of a molehill makes everything so much worse.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

President @realDonaldTrump, @marcorubio, and @PeteHegseth, if you are going to watch any footage of Iran, this mini documentary is it.

Please watch the first 15 minutes and you will bear witness to one of the greatest crimes against humanity in recent decades.

The United States is the most powerful country in the world. The IRGC has been an exporter of terror around the world with nuclear ambitions only recently temporarily thwarted by our incredible military.

Leaving these monsters in control of the second largest oil reserves in the Middle East — which they will continue to use to fund terror around the world, rebuild their nuclear capability, and support our arch enemies — remains an extremely serious persistent and long-term existential threat to the United States and to the world at large.

President Trump, you are a man of your word.

You drew a red line about the regime killing protesters. They have now reportedly killed 43,000 and blinded and maimed hundreds of thousands more.

You have called out to the Iranian people to continue their protests as they have bravely done unarmed and at massive cost in tens of thousands of young lives lost to this genocidal regime.

You have lived up to every commitment that you have made to the American people and to the world.

Your reputation for keeping your word has restored the United States to again being respected as the most powerful nation in the world.

And let’s not forget that they have attempted to assassinate you twice.

President Trump, it is time to finish the job.

We have important strategic, moral, economic, and ethical reasons for doing so.

A world without the IRGC controlling Iran would generate a massive peace dividend forever experienced around the world.

It would set a powerful and important example that the United States does not tolerate the worst form of evil.

It would be one of your most important forever legacies as President of the United States.

The Iranian people are an amazing people who deserve to be free from terror and evil.

The United States has the most powerful military in the world as you so remarkably and masterfully demonstrated against Maduro in Venezuela.

It appears that we are now locked and loaded.

Let’s let them live.

I am horrified. I cannot believe it.

I analyzed public databases and media reporting on violent confrontations with ICE over the past year.

Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America.

This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED.

A violent confrontation in these 9 counties was 590 TIMES more likely than any of these other 3,134 counties.

590 times.

I plotted these 9 counties, and I found that all 9 counties are sanctuary jurisdictions run by Democrat politicians that resist immigration law enforcement.

These violent confrontations are RARE in states and cities where local officials cooperate with law enforcement.

@Codie_Sanchez I can't say I disagree with your take. But to play devil's advocate, wouldn't it be in the best interest of single men to become more leftist?
