@elonmusk@bot Grok Bot is actually very useful, and I'm a natural cynic. Utility is off the charts. Once they refine @Grok and catch pace with other models (they will, it's only a matter of time), it'll be over. Only "progressives" (the irony!) will refuse to adopt.
"The most diverse cabinet in history…"
88% Black. Virginia is 20% black.
0% White men. Virginia is 30% White men.
Friendly reminder when these people say "diversity", they just mean anti-White.
America, more than any other nation in world history, was shaped by the Christian tradition of spreading the gospel unto all nations.

🚨 An anti-MAGA group says its legal partners are exploring a PARALLEL VOTE COUNT outside government.
Seed the Vote’s own words:
“parallel vote counting infrastructure, separate from the government”
It cites Venezuela, Hungary and Serbia as precedents.
Here are the documents. 🧵
I’m crying …
A top 10 New York Times bestseller….
Thank you everyone ….
The book is about getting an urgent message out… one that is increasingly applicable in those times
Palmer Luckey says analysts claiming it's too expensive to manufacture in the US are lying to protect megacorps
"I think I have a more realistic view than almost anybody. One of the problems with all these analysts that are telling you that it's going to cost $37,000 to build an American iPhone or $100,000 to buy an American computer."
"They're trying to prop up a status quo that the megacorporations want to keep going. They want to outsource everything. They want to hire cheaper non-American labor."
"They are willing to say and do anything to convince you that it can't be fixed, that it can't come back, that America is this helpless, neutered, post-relevant empire, and it is just not the case."
"How do I know that? Because I have to make stuff in America every day because I work in the defense industry. The stuff that Anduril makes every day is not actually that different from a computer. My drones are basically computers. They have memory, a GPU, a CPU, sensors, batteries, a rugged integration."
"The only difference between an Anduril attack drone and a laptop is a keyboard and a screen. That is not that hard to figure out, especially for a guy like me who started Oculus and comes from the consumer electronics space."
"We're not going to let people lie about what America can and can't do anymore. We're just going to do it."
@sankrant At any rate, these numbers remain misleading because they are tracking convictions. We know, for a fact, that a very small percentage of cases actually end in real investigations, let alone convictions.
The real rape numbers are like 10x worse than this.

Republicans are predominantly Heritage American.
Democrats are predominantly foreigners.
It’s not a matter of teaching them the Constitution better. They come from a blood line that is incapable of understanding Jeffersonian Republicanism.
I saw it first hand in the GWOT when we tried to rebuild the Middle East. After 20 years it was only worse.
After decolonization of the Third World their standard of living declined rapidly.
Rhodesia was a prosperous modern nation. Zimbabwe is starving and uses trillion dollar bills due to extreme inflation.
Liberia carbon copied the U.S. Constitution. Today it’s ravaged by poverty and civil war.
Mexico originally copied our Constitution. It took them 5 minutes for a dictator to rip it up. Today they are controlled by the cartels and still commit human sacrifice and brutal violence like the Mayans they descend from.
We could go around the Third World to nearly every country and make similar comparisons.
A nation is its people. America will only stay America if it is compromised primarily of Americans. If the country is compromised of Third World “migrants” then a Third World governing apparatus will consume the country. We are already seeing this play out.
The only peaceful answer to this is 100 million deportations.

Humans are a pack animal.
This may be hard to understand if you are evangelical and think the book of genesis is literal rather than allegorical, but humans are a pack animal.
What this means is that the human desire for the acceptance and support of a tribe is as fundamental as the desire for food, for air, for water, for sex, for sunlight, for love.
If you tell young men that they cannot have a tribe, they're not going to accept that.
Ever.
Especially if you tell that only to the young men of one tribe in particular. They're going to wonder why everybody gets to have a tribe and they don't.
And they're eventually going to decide that you are the enemy.
Because you are. Anyone who stands between young men and what they need for a healthy, fulfilled life is their enemy.
That includes you.
And if you manage to convince them that god doesn't want them to have a tribe, it will also include god.
The more you push back against their healthy and natural desire for a tribe, a homeland, and a birthright, the more they will hate you, and the more exclusive their definition of that tribe will become.
There is no way you can stop this. The only thing you can control is how far they have to go, how radical they have to become, in order to get it.
Because this can go all the way from enforcing immigration law, and shutting down corrupt visa programs right now, to gangs of young White men in balaclavas with Ar15s going door to door ten years from now.
We have to do something about the 14th amendment. I don't care if that makes you uncomfortable or unhappy. It's not a choice. The constitution exists to serve Americans, not the other way around. If that sentence confuses you, read the first paragraph of the constitution.
If we do not, young men of the future, the same little boys who are being radicalized right now by your malicious indifference, will treat a piece of paper that says they cannot have a homeland the way they would treat a piece of paper that says that can't eat food, or a piece of paper that says they can't own a home, or have a wife and children.
You may think that you offer them a tribe in the form of the universal kingdom of god, the community of all believers, but that's just a word game and you know it, which is why you are so defensive about the whole thing.
Where was the universal community of believers when these young men needed help? When they needed not just the surface appearance of a tribe, but someone to do the things that tribes actually do for younger generations they care about?
The pack serves a concrete set of functions in the life cycle of the human species, and you cannot perform those functions with a cardboard cutout.
Young men are sick of religion that offers them responsibilities with no rights, lectures with no help, demands with no love or empathy.
It's odd, in a way ironic, that, I, the man of zero faith, should have to be the one standing here telling self-styled religious leaders how they failed both their people and their god.
But having no faith does give me one advantage. It frees me from the delusion that Jesus is a puppet that I can pull out of my pocket, slip over my right hand, move his mouth and make him say what I want.
I used to wonder, as a child, what the phrase "taking the name of the lord in vain" actually meant.
But I no longer wonder, because when I became a man, I looked around me and saw all these people who talk to god and somehow get told exactly what they want to hear.
Then I understood that the key phrase here wasn't "in vain". It was "taking". Taking the name of god and using it as a tool for one's own goals.
Joel, here, is sad that his friend is getting sent home. This personally inconveniences both him and his friend, which effects Joel in a way that young men being denied their birthright does not.
So he finds an interpretation of scripture that says that god wants him, Joel Berry, to get his way, and that god wants all the young men who want a homeland and a birthright to go get fucked.
I'm not terribly impressed.
So, I'm an American. I have lived on the European continent off and on for the better part of 25 years now, mostly in Germany. I have American/German children, including a young daughter.
- Having watched what is unfolding in France, especially the video of the young man trying to set the woman's head on fire ... then the fireman on fire, the kid trying to rip the head off the statue of the Virgin Mary, female teachers being brutalized ... so much more ... I think it is perhaps time to get those who remain in my family on this continent, off of it, especially my daugther.
- There is simply little remaining which holds people together ... no common language, no culture, no religion, politicians care about little aside from getting re-elected and holding on to power. The bureaucracy is smothering and robs young people of most chances. One is just left with a very empty, cold feeling living in Europe these days.
