I can feel it. The moment we shifted from destroying the IRGC to bargaining with them, something dark seeped into my bones—a weakness our enemies clearly perceive. Inside our borders, the red-green alliance has wrested power from the DP, while abroad a theological death cult is working to usher in its 12th Shia Messiah.
The two are connected.

I think Trump feels it too.

The Democratic Party as we know it is finished, and only now are they starting to see it. Legacy Democrats created this monster, and it is devouring them from within. Their base absorbed every virtue-signaling and shame tactic we endured during Covid. Ironically, the safe-space culture those same politicians built is now coming for them first.

@SwipeWright There’s something deeply ironic about building a movement on imagined danger, only to end up facing real danger. Real life vs. delusion.

[Nancy @baboodios]

@SwipeWright That was hard to watch.

Bolton just pleaded guilty for mishandling classified info.
Milley bragged on TV about “protecting the world” from the President — and warned China he’d give them a heads-up on any attack.

Which was more serious?

As much as I dislike what John Bolton did, Mark Milley’s actions were far more serious than the offense Bolton pleaded guilty to.

It is surreal to recall that, in the same era as the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, Gen. Mark Milley appeared on television in uniform and effectively boasted to the American people that he had “protected the world from the President of the United States.”

He described reassuring his Chinese counterpart that he would give Beijing advance warning if the U.S. were planning an attack.

Here is a list of potential charges against Milley, ranked by probability of indictment (had Biden not issued the preemptive pardon):

1. UCMJ violations / Conduct unbecoming an officer (undermining chain of command, dereliction)
→ High (~60-75%)

2. Logan Act (unauthorized foreign correspondence)
→ Medium (~30-45%)

3. Espionage Act (retention/transmission of national defense info)
→ Low-to-Medium (~20-35%)

4. Conspiracy to defraud the United States
→ Low (~15-25%)

5. Treason
→ Very Low (<10%)

Milley's actions were highly unusual and corrosive to norms of civilian supremacy — especially the boastful framing on TV. They deserved rigorous investigation rather than a blanket pardon.

@YossiBenYakar They’re buying up all the cheap real estate on the Monopoly board. Anyone who’s played Monopoly knows that quantity wins.

While criticizing the genocide of Christians in Africa — often framing the violence as driven by terrorism and economic factors affecting both Christians and Muslims — the Pope condemns Israel for using disproportionate force against the same ideological people who carried out the murders on October 7, 2023.

In my opinion, he holds two flawed views: he blames an unstable economic environment for much of the murdering in Africa without examining the systemic thievery built into their economies, and he maintains that there must never be war.

Why isn’t he condemning the corruption in Africa as strongly as he condemns Israel for disproportionate force?

Being a liberal from the United States, in my opinion he suffers from the bigotry of low expectations.

You can’t reason with religious ideologues, and you can’t end a war with a proportional response.

@joeroganhq Old guard dinosaurs like Gavin clinging to relevance versus the rising new guard of communists — who wins? The giant douchebag or the turd sandwich?

What would you do if your beloved dog and a stranger were both drowning — and you could only save one?

Most people, including my own first instinct, would save their pet.
Dennis Prager uses this simple question to expose something deeply wrong with modern morality. We have increasingly treated people, animals, places, and things as morally equal based on raw empathy or personal attachment.

In doing so, we’ve impaired our ability to make clear, sober moral distinctions about the world around us. The result is the moral chaos we see today.

Drunk empathy is a Trojan horse. It smuggles every kind of evil into our homes and communities.

The only defense is sober thinking — otherwise we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

@Doranimated Tucker carlson has entered just enough plausible deniability into American discourse to paralyze a healthy response here and in Iran

@LauraLoomer Finish the job President Trump

The plausible deniability math is just enough to dog this current administration into the midterms and beyond. Who’s to say how the next campaigns targeting American conservatives will weaken America? There are no guarantees about the future. Doing the right thing and mounting a healthy immune response to bullshit are built into our evolutionary survival — and it is always the right thing to do when you have the upper hand.
Taking a broader view of the state of American culture, the conservative right has been infected with the immune-suppression Kool-Aid while the left is stomping out their cigarettes in every institution of American power. This plausible deniability virus being injected into mainstream American households only has to infect a tiny proportion of people for the formula to work. Tucker Carlson is a demon.
