He can block who he wants but it is more than a little ironic that a man who claims to want to preach the gospel to the world is unable to countenance criticism from anyone.

@Blackcapitalis Someone can be proud of their European heritage, immune to anti-white criticism, and still high-five little black kids rather than whatever the implication of the OP is. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

CATO’s @David_J_Bier is defending the Zizian trans death cult member accused of m—rdering a Border Patrol agent. Through misleading posts omitting facts about the case, he says the armed Zizian members should have never been pulled over. https://t.co/Kq6f0yl3E1

The only things the Cato Institute seems to stand for anymore seem to be prostitution, sodomy, human trafficking, and drug use.

@DisavowedVet It’s retard bate and he caught you.

Joel continues to be too stupid, dishonest, or both to participate in these conversations. Thankfully, every time he enters in to make what he thinks, I’m sure, is a killer point, he’s ratioed into oblivion.

All you “No Enemies To The Right” people: your idiot mantra requires you to stand by Candace Owens at all costs.

If you don’t, you’re full of crap, or maybe you should admit what a terrible idea it was.

@JoelWBerry We’re all begging you, all of humanity, stop being retarded.

It’s quite remarkable that no amount of success can temper or nullify the deep-seated resentment people feel. You can be the biggest action star in the world and yet somehow you’re still a child seething because Indiana Jones wasn’t from Fiji.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

Like everything else David French writes, this piece is extremely gay and fundamentally dishonest. If he actually believed that profession of belief in a “magic idea” (his words) were enough to make someone American, then he would also be required to believe rejection of this “magic idea” would necessitate denaturalization and deportation.

But he doesn’t he believe that. And neither does anyone in the Democrat party he now calls home.

He treats the entire subject the same way he treats trans ideology and drag queen story hours for children. If you’re a disgusting adult male pervert and sex pest who wants to act out his sexual fetish in front of children, well that’s a “blessing of liberty” and you better call him a woman if he identifies as a woman, you bigot.

If you’re a filthy communist anchor baby who hates America and the America people, culture, history, and Founders, but you “identify” as an American while you cross your fingers behind your back and mock the very “magic” idea which David French says is the essence of Americanism, David French thinks that makes you an American.

He thinks this because he’s an idiot. And he says it because he thinks his new readers are stupid enough to believe it.

Federal law doesn’t depend on what your church says.

The question is what the employee believes sincerely, not somebody else.

Why not, the attacks are racially and sexually motivated, in a business engaged in interstate commerce.

[Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr]

On behalf of the largest police news outlet in the world, we're officially calling for the resignation or termination of this officer IMMEDIATELY.

A female Fort Worth police officer was caught on camera threatening to ticket a retired federal law enforcement officer and Christian street preacher for “offensive speech.”

The officer told the man that if someone is offended by his preaching, then “we have a problem” and said she would issue him a ticket. When he asked if she was really going to ticket him for offensive speech, she replied, “Yes, I am.”

This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Police officers do not have the authority to ticket people for speech that offends others. That is the exact opposite of how freedom of speech works in America.

The fact that this officer targeted a retired federal law enforcement officer who was simply preaching makes this even more unacceptable.

Departments that employ officers who openly disregard the Constitution need to clean house. This kind of behavior erodes public trust and makes every good officer’s job harder.

Pass this along so more people see what is happening on our streets.

That's it? All due respect to Dr. Guelzo, but this belies an entire historiography of civil war soldier studies in order to bolster a liberal view of the American founding and history. Yes, Jim McPherson saw ideological commitment to "republican liberty" but also honor, duty, etc

"Did you hear? ICE killed another American!"

"A citizen?"

"Well, no. But he had been here for 35 years."

"So he wasn't supposed to be here. Still, that's not a death sentence. What happened?"

"ICE shot him!"

"An ICE agent just walked up to him and shot him?"

"Well, no. He hit an ICE vehicle and started to run down the ICE agent."

"So he tried to kill an ICE agent."

Them:
Christian Nationalists are mostly unemployed, angry young men who live at home and don't go to church!

Christian Nationalists:
Mostly guys in their 30s–50s, with 3–8 kids, happy marriages, thriving businesses, and pillars in their local churches.

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

Years ago, I knew someone who claimed that a young man killed in a motorcycle accident had been her boyfriend. She told everyone she was devastated, quit her job, and made his death the defining story of her life. I believed her initially.

Later, I learned the truth.

They had never actually dated. He had pursued her briefly, but they were never a couple. In fact, before his death, she had told mutual friends that he annoyed her and that he was a loser.

There’s a term for this: grief appropriation. It’s when someone inserts themselves into another person’s tragedy, elevating themselves into a central figure in a loss when, in reality, they played only a minor role in that person’s life.

Often, there’s a secondary gain. In her case, it was attention. It gave her a reason to quit a job she didn’t want, receive sympathy, and continue being financially supported by her parents. She even tried to enter his bedroom to collect personal belongings she claimed he “would have wanted her to have.”

She genuinely believed she was entitled to them.

The story became more elaborate over time. The more she invested in it, the more convinced she became that they were soulmates and that she was one of the primary victims of his death.

Meanwhile, his real family was left to deal with the confusion and additional pain her behavior created. His parents had lost a son. His siblings had lost a brother. Instead of allowing them to grieve, she made herself another person they had to manage.

That’s one of the cruelest parts of grief appropriation. It doesn’t just rewrite the past. It competes with the people whose grief is actually rooted in reality.

I share this because I see striking similarities in Candace Owens’ attempts to position herself as the guardian of Charlie Kirk’s legacy. Charlie has a real widow. He has real children who will grow up without their father. He has parents, a sister, lifelong friends, and colleagues who are carrying an unimaginable loss.

When someone elevates themselves into the center of another person’s tragedy, they aren’t honoring that person’s memory. They’re appropriating it. And in the process, they often make an already devastating loss even harder for the people who loved that person most.
