If I had Elon's money I would solve world hunger instantly.😡
Sent from a device purchased with with a sum of money that could have been used to feed an Ethiopian family for a year, but wasn't, because my generosity is purely hypothetical.
15% of Musk's wealth is $150 billion. The US Federal government spends more than 100% of Musk's wealth every single year on food, housing, and medical care for the poor, and we're only 4% of global population and 0.1% of global poverty. You ain't curing shit with his money
@TonySeruga If this is mental illness, why is it they only ever seem to attack small white and occasionally Asian women? It’s never a big dude being attacked. Kind of makes one wonder.
One of the great power imbalances between conservatives and Leftists is the fact that our religion is religion, while their religion masquerades as politics.
As such, we are governed by SCOTUS-determined “separation of church and state” and the Leftists are not.
Case in point: “Pride Month.”
This is a month-long celebration of the Left’s religion, but because it is not treated as a religion, federal/state/local governments everywhere can indulge in it.
However, if we were to try and have governments celebrating “Jesus Month,” the lawsuits would be so thick you couldn’t cut through them with a rainbow chainsaw.
I’m not sure how to solve this.
Regardless of what you think about how Trump’s doing America’s 250th, we should all thank God we dodged whatever nationwide humiliation ritual Dems had cooked up.
Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
If you taxed 100% of Elon’s net worth, confiscated every penny, you could fund the current US government for about… 49 days.
We don’t have a revenue problem.
We have a welfare spending problem.
@JasonKander A lot of people don't know this...
But when Hurricane Helene hit us in Western North Carolina, Elon's foundation "The Musk Foundation" actually helped fund rebuilding A LOT of homes.
They also funded a TON of amazing charities that also helped us.
Elon is a good human being.
Allow me to make something absolutely clear to all of you. And yes, I am angry.
I am independent. I am not the mainstream media. That means I have more freedom in what I do. I am beholden to no one. The mainstream media is careful. They’re controlled. They stay safe. I do not.
I have the freedom to report every fact I find, even when it makes people angry. During the Anthony case, I was able to expose bad actors because I put in the work. That meant hours of investigating, collecting documentation, and gathering information. It was also how I was able to warn people that witnesses were being doxxed and that the family was being threatened.
Through all of this, I became friends with Jeff.
Jeff is a father grieving a murdered son. He was dragged through the mud and muzzled, unable to speak. I spent hours with him on the phone, sometimes late into the night. He would vent. Sometimes he would cry. But worst of all, none of his feelings could be publicly known.
He was swatted six times. Meghan was also swatted. People can argue over intent, but the reality is that sending armed police to someone’s home repeatedly creates a dangerous situation for that family. Austin was called “worm food.” People mocked a murdered child. Charleston White said, “He should have killed both of them.” This disgusting rhetoric went on for a year while Jeff was unable to speak publicly or defend his dead son.
That is why I told Jeff that when the gag order was lifted and the trial was over, I would give him an interview. Unlike the mainstream media, he would have the freedom to say whatever he wanted without interruption. He would not have had that freedom anywhere else.
I could not care less what people think about that decision.
I knew things would be clipped and taken out of context. They’ve been doing it since the beginning. That was never a surprise to me.
This interview was for Jeff.
It was not for them. It was not for you.
It was to allow Jeff to finally get every ounce of anger, sadness, grief, rage, and pain off his chest. I’m glad we did it.
If you are angry at me for it, then you do not understand grief.
If you are angry because you think I should have controlled the interview more, then you do not understand the pain he has lived with for the last year.
My goal was simple: give him the microphone, step back, and let him talk.
Most people seem to understand that. Some do not.
Many are angry that I gave Jeff the freedom and platform to express thoughts he has been forced to keep buried for an entire year.
As for the clips being shared out of context, I want everyone to hear the full context.
Yes, Jeff called Karmelo a “watermelon felon.”
No, he did not say it because he is racist.
He said it while sarcastically mocking the people who constantly clip words out of context and chase viral moments. They have spent a year calling him racist. His point was that if they wanted something to clip and spread around the internet, he’d give them exactly what they were looking for.
That is the context.
And I don’t blame him.
If you’re angry that I gave him a platform to say what he wanted, I truly do not care. I don’t even know how to explain how much I do not care.
I love the Metcalf family. I love Jeff. And this is what he wanted.
For once, Jeff got to do what HE wanted to do.
He is the father of a dead son who spent a year being told to stay quiet while people lied about him, mocked his family, and celebrated his pain.
I warned all of you how evil some of these people are. I’ve known it for the past year. The Metcalf family has lived it, and so have I.
These people do not just threaten to kill you. They threaten to destroy you. They threaten your family. They are not above threatening children.
We already knew this.
Now many of you are finally seeing it for yourselves.
And if a few words from a grieving father are enough to outrage you, then you might want to grow a thicker skin.
For all these dumbasses claiming if they had Elon's money they'd end world hunger, cause world peace, educate everyone, or whatever, blah blah blah... No you wouldn't. You're full of shit and everyone knows it, because that's not how the world works.
Throwing money at a problem doesn't fix it. The entire history of government demonstrates that. Saying vapid nonsense just makes weak, unimaginative people with a childlike grasp on reality feel better about themselves for caring harder, while accomplishing nothing.
Meanwhile, the guy you hate revolutionized EVs and self driving cars, brought affordable reliable internet to every corner of the Earth, and is making the dream of colonizing space real. And the process of doing all that has given hundreds of thousands of people jobs.
While you posture about how you'd give everybody an imaginary unicorn, he's done stuff that's actually changed the world for the better.
And you don't get it. You can't get it. Because you're just too fucking small.
Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us.
It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously.
The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it.
If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.
I have a question. If Karmelo Anthony’s parents solicited donations for their son‘s defense and then blew all that money on cars and a new house so that he had to get a public defender, how is that not fraud? Why aren’t they facing charges right now?
People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.
What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.
If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.
Elections have consequences.
Utahns in CD3: If you re-elect Celeste Maloy, you’ll get a Congresswoman who has voted for:
• Vehicle kill switches that give the government control over your car.
• Keeping congressional sexual allegation reports hidden from the public instead of shining light on them.
• Warrantless searches and preserving surveillance powers that erode our Fourth Amendment rights.
• Glyphosate immunity, protecting pesticide makers over Utah families and farmers.
• The Norman amendment fight and backing provisions that fund DEI and abortion providers.
And she’s the one who misrepresented a Trump endorsement while pushing policies out of step with conservative Utah values.
So much is at stake for Utah’s future; our freedoms, our land, our families, and the principles we hold dear. We can’t afford more of the same.
Vote like your liberty depends on it. Because it does.
I’m Phil Lyman, and I’m running to fight for you in Congress. Let’s send a strong message this primary.
