@TRobinsonNewEra I am so sorry. You have to get rid of your current police forces. Too many examples of bad policing and weak, useless women. Good luck over there, you guys!
@AJEnglish If this is exactly what it looks like, no one would be suprised. It's a more peacful reaction to this continuing to happen: https://t.co/BHBIeAipVM
This is the power of a strong, Republican government working for its people. We can not let Socialism win! The NYSE will very soon become the TXSE if we continue to allow covert communists destroy one of our greatest cities.
Hamas ceding civilian governance to a technocratic committee is a net positive step toward postwar stability, reconstruction, and reduced direct Islamist rule over Gaza civilians after nearly 20 years. Great news!
It does apply diplomatic pressure on Israel (sorry, @netanyahu) by demonstrating Hamas compliance with a key element of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, shifting focus onto unresolved issues like Israeli security demands and Hamas disarmament.
Long-term success hinges on implementation, the civilian transition alone doesn't end the conflict or guarantee demilitarization, so outcomes remain uncertain. I'm hopeful! Stay on this @SecRubio, @JDVance, & @realDonaldTrump!
We’re all over it. Every one of us are fully over it.
Free speech isn’t free, it has a bill that is coming due in faster order by the day.
There is no place left on earth to retreat to if America falls.
When you burn a flag in front of someone who is starting to realize this grim fact, it triggers something reflexively inside them.
You can argue that accosting someone in the act of burning a flag is illegal, and you may be right. But your words and laws mean nothing to someone whose only choices are between communism and the grave.
People are done the America hating shtick by affluent communists who make lengthy Starbucks orders.
Especially veterans.
Antifa agitators WENT BERSERK when I approached them in Washington DC on the 4th of July.
A crazed woman attempted to use an amplified sound device directly in my ear after I asked her husband why he is protesting Independence Day in America while being a British national. The police, ironically, the “first amendment communication team” then responded by telling me I had to leave and that I could not interact with the group.
Then, a protest organizer approached and harassed my cameraman in an attempt to stop us from videotaping the event. The police said he was doing nothing wrong.
Is the Washington DC police department emboldening these Antifa agitators?
First, DOGE wasn’t shut down for increasing the deficit, even though the post would imply as much. It was always temporary (set to expire July 4, 2026) and wound down early after Musk’s exit. It claimed ~$214B in cuts, but overall federal spending still rose to ~$7 trillion in FY2025, and the deficit stayed around $1.8T, roughly flat. DOGE staff even admitted under oath that it failed to lower the deficit. Mandatory spending (Social Security, Medicare, debt interest) dominates the budget and were barely touched due to privacy issues for American citizens.
Second, the 781k figure of deaths to which you are referring is a modeled estimate from Boston University’s Impact Counter (created by @brookenichols from @GDP_Center), not verified deaths. It projects hundreds of thousands of excess deaths in 2025 (e.g., ~600k by Nov) from disrupted programs like HIV, malaria, TB, and malnutrition. Specific local rises were reported (e.g., malaria in Congo), but global totals remain inferential. These come from statistical models and @thelancet projections assuming no offsets from other donors. They involve major uncertainty around real-world factors like replacement funding, conflicts, or droughts. No comprehensive verified tally of “direct” deaths exists.
Blaming @elonmusk or @DOGE for complex policy outcomes and modeled projections is rhetoric, not reality. Do your own research beyond the headlines.
Context: DOGE wasn’t shut down for increasing the deficit or because Elon destroyed anything, as this post may imply. It was always temporary (set to expire July 4, 2026) and wound down early after Musk’s exit. It claimed ~$214B in cuts, but overall federal spending still rose to ~$7 trillion in FY2025, and the deficit stayed around $1.8T, roughly flat. DOGE staff even admitted under oath that it failed to lower the deficit. Mandatory spending (Social Security, Medicare, debt interest) dominates the budget and were barely touched (mainly because of privacy concerns for American citizens).
I wish people like you would understand that Capitalism has done the things you are talking about, not Socialism. Market systems have fed and lifted far more people. Extreme poverty fell from over 40% of the world in the early 1980s to around 9% today, driven by market reforms in China, India and elsewhere that boosted food production and incomes. Socialist central planning repeatedly caused famines and shortages by destroying incentives, as in the Soviet Union and Mao-era China. Incentives and innovation under capitalism created abundance at scale.
