"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” -Benjamin Franklin

[LandonTengwall @LandonTengwall]

Since Sark decided to provide no context on this statement, I’ll do it.

Franklin won early and turned Penn State around (which he should forever get credit for). He was given plenty of grace through the 2020 and 2021 seasons when he went 11-11 in that two-year span. And then he went on to have three seasons in a row with 10+ wins, but lost to OSU and Michigan each year and still couldn’t get over the hump.

Before Franklin was fired, it was widely agreed upon that drawing SMU and then Boise State in the 2024 CFP would forever be the easiest route to a CFP Semifinal game that there will ever be (people seem to have just kinda forgotten that now). Enter 2025: Franklin had been “pounding the table” for full support and alignment, and he finally got it. He went out and got the highest-paid DC in CFB history and had the opportunity to spend whatever he wanted in the portal.

Franklin himself said the 2025 staff and roster was the most talented group he’s ever assembled, and for most people Penn State was the Natty favorite going into 2025. Franklin went on to coach Penn State into the greatest collapse in College Football history, losing back to back games where his team was favored by more than 20 points. There’s your context for why a coach was fired after making it to the CFP semifinals.

Yeah, Cornyn did himself in...but the real story is Paxton locked them up. He gave Senate RINOs a clean and public offramp: pass the Save America Act and I'm out. Easy call. Win-win.

Instead, they threw Cornyn to the wolves.

Incredible.

They don't kill you because you're a Nazi.

They call you a Nazi so they can kill you.

The Vatican has walls for a reason. Specifically, because in 846, the Moors sailed up the Tiber and sacked St. Peter’s Basilica.

Can you guess the name of the man who built those walls to ensure it never happened again?

It was Pope Leo IV.

Nope, I'm not kidding. And yes, I had to double check it. Because, what kind of WTF levels of irony are these?

Fast forward 1,200 years to 2026. We have another Pope Leo, the 14th this time, and while he still sits comfortably sipping tea behind those same medieval walls, he’s telling the rest of the West to be "less fearful" of Islam. That those who push back against messages like this are simply talking from a bigoted view of immigration, and aren't true Christians.

You can imagine how easy it is to preach about "welcoming the stranger" when you have a literal fortress guarding your bedroom, complete with fancy Swiss guards and Michelangelo-sculpted toilets.

Meanwhile, in the real world, European neighborhoods in Malmö and Brussels are being transformed into parallel societies where the host country’s laws are optional. In France, Christian sites are desecrated twice a day.

So much for 'integration'.

The globalist machine is moving, and far from quietly. In Spain, Pedro Sánchez just bypassed parliament to legalize 500,000 migrants with one pen stroke. In Italy, Meloni promised a blockade but is importing nearly the same amount of foreign workers. The only difference is that Meloni frowns a lot more, to look tough.

Same product, different branding. The European Union's globalist agenda keeps going at full throttle.

The irony is deafening for those of us who immigrated the right way. We filled out the forms, paid the fees, and proved we weren't criminals. But now, the Pope and the elites are telling us the "front door" and the "kicked-down door" are the same thing.

When the Pope spends his time in record-breaking private meetings with Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, only to guilt trip the entire world into this suicidal empathy charade, you know what's going on.

If the walls are good enough for the Pope, why aren't they allowed for everyone else?

8:00AM: Trump should be removed from office for the threat he made.

6:00PM: Trump is a chicken for not following through on the threat he made.

One thing is for certain. The TDS shall continue tomorrow.

That's it. I've seen enough. MAGA is dead. Trump is finished. JD has no shot.

Today I'm proud to declare my full support to @GavinNewsom for 2028 and beyond. He is exactly who we need as president. Can't wait for him to do to the rest of you what he's done to California. He's going to finish the job!

@Inevitablewest Friedrich Merz is a liar. He hasn't kept a single campaign promise or any other promises so far. As always, nothing will happen, since Mr. Merz is in coalition with left-wing parties.

@barnes_law @ThomasEWoods It still beats the 2nd term of Joe Biden (and/or the 4th term of Obama), which was the choice that American voters were presented with.

@toddstarnes @DataRepublican @HarmeetKDhillon @AGPamBondi could this be a Civil rights violation? These so called "non profits" are practicing economic intimidation/terrorism against small businesses.

@ImMeme0 @realjstreet @DoorDash To all those who refuse to vote Republican in the midterms, this guy is the type you’re handing the midterms and most likely 2028 to.

MARKET UPDATE: Black Rifle Coffee Co., who outed themselves as opportunists with no core values monetizing vetbro culture, is in a plummeting decline despite having drinks in every major gas station in the US.

After disavowing Kyle @rittenhouse2a in 2020, being glowingly profiled by the New York Times in 2021 where they further disavowed their conservative/right wing constituency, Black Rifle IPO'd in 2022 at a price of $17.50 per share, reflecting an implied valuation of $767,000,000.

Today, the share price is $0.76, which is a 94.76% drop from IPO. If you bought $100,000 of Black Rifle Coffee Company stock in 2022, you have $5,240 today.

While it may feel old hat to say "Get woke, go broke", the consequences of decisions companies made under the Biden admin assuming a Kamala presidency and permanent Obamaism are still playing out. The corporate world moves slowly and the chickens are still coming home to roost.

@charliesmirkley @Breaking_Battle Hasn’t that been happening since WWII? Serious question.

@Alt_Azn @aClassicLiberal It’s not even a “fancy degree.” It’s undeniably mid. BU is mid, and humanities undergraduate degrees are mid. And graduating “with honors” is mid. Congratulations: you went to class.

[Sensurround @ShamashAran]

That's just it: Your average democrat ABSOLUTELY believes that earning a degree is more impressive than running a business.
