We’re unable to wait for information anymore. We want to have an opinion so badly. One of a few massively destructive post-internet trends in the West.
@RepNancyMace So then they may as well kill the kid too? Why wouldn’t they if they risk the death penalty anyway? Sounds like a recipe for more kids dying than preventing attacks.
The old correlation trick again (assuming the numbers quoted are accurate). If you look at the percentage of businesses that are coffee shops in that time frame, they go up too. Correlation ≠ causation.
Piers Morgan: ”Everyone in England used to have guns, now very few people have. And the consequence of that, we have almost 0 gun crimes.”
Tucker Carlson: ”Oh, is London safe now!? 😂”
Piers Morgan: ”Now we have a knife crime epidemic.”
Tucker Carlson: ”No, you have a people problem. It’s measurable. How many people got stabbed or shot in London in the ’70s? It’s a massive increase. The attitudes and actions of the people are totally different; you’ve got different people.”
Yes. Here are figures for London, UK:
1960
98% White
0.01 Knife crime per 1,000
2025
36% White
1.82 Knife crime per 1,000
It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran.
A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity.
Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.
@BuenoForMiami I totally agree. I’m from a country where it is not the norm (most places outside the US don’t do it by default) and I’m delighted that’s the case. My bits are not circumcised either. How can naturally occurring genitals be a bad idea?
If you were alive at the start of those wars and of at least high school age, do you agree there were unclear objectives at the outset of those wars? I don’t. The objectives were as clear as day but they were just never met.
VP Vance says Iran is different than Afghanistan and Iraq because: the president has clearly defined what he wants to accomplish… He's not gonna let his country go to war unless there's a clearly defined objective
Trump: We’ve got inflation down and lowered gas to under $2. Yay, me!
Trump: We’re starting a war in the Middle East, so gas prices will soar - driving all other prices. But that won’t be my fault.
@GuntherEagleman Fact checking the fact check: not US (taxpayer) money. Unfrozen Iranian money. As a condition of complying with the nuclear deal, which they did until Trump nullified it.
That beautiful ending to Trump's SOTU address reminds me why we can't have a second-, third-, or fourth- generation immigrant as president. Love for our country has to be in your genes.
This could only be possible if the tariffs did *not* reduce imports, nor the trade deficit. You know, the other thing they’re supposed to do that contradicts this one. The doublethink you have to do to be MAGA… Oh, and they’re a negotiating tactic, so will fall. 🤔🙄😳
President Trump: “As time goes by, I believe that tariffs, paid for by foreign countries, will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.”
