The sad part of pulling posts like this together is almost no one sees them but if you post retarded shit, it has a million views. No one seems to understand how funding works. DOGE cancelled future year contracts and all the same NGO had their fiscal year funding already allocated and contracted out. Anyone posting that USAID funding resulted in election outcomes that weren't favorable to US oligarchs over the past year is ignorant. The only way to secure elections is to get them out of your country and adopt a nationalist agenda that protects your citizens like Bukele. That doesn't mean shut off all US corporations but it does mean that you don't allow them to exploit your citizens or your resources.

There is a “meaning” crisis in West. Much people in West want “meaningful life”. They too foolish to understand: You do not crave meaning. You crave Dignity.

The West possess a dignity crisis. Because so much stupid low iq pervert sIut behavior be normal in West countrys, people forgot what living with dignity look like. Then they confuse this lack of dignity with lack of meaning. You can never find a meaningful life until you live a dignified life.

BREAKING: Biden-appointed judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, just BLOCKED the Trump admin from using a social security database system to verify voter eligibility.

We have foreign judges telling us we can’t secure our elections

What are we even doing?

[TMK @themagaking]

The Reflecting Pool is the perfect metaphor for Washington: Trump is trying to clean it up, while the swamp is doing everything it can to keep it dirty.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

A judge named Sparkle Sooknanan born in Trinidad and Tobago has overruled the duly elected President of the United States attempt to stop illegals from voting in US elections.

Think about that.

We have a major problem with the Judicial Branch.

[Ben Baker @BenBakerMO]

I’ve never seen so much obsession with trying to make a pool look bad. It’s such deranged behavior. Even to the point of sabotaging a National Monument just to try to make the President look bad! We can’t have a country with this level of politically deranged behavior.

I would like to see you make a voluntary contribution of 5% of your family’s $200M net worth to the government for important healthcare, childcare, and jobs. Don’t worry, it’s just one-time. Your $10M contribution will provide free childcare for over 1,000 California kids for a year! Once you’ve made your personal contribution to a more just and equitable society, I’ll support all your other asset seizure ideas. But you gotta go first…

[Mike Stone @PastorMikeStone]

If @SenWarren shared her $67M and lived on the $285K (itself a great salary) every public school teacher in her state could receive a $900 bonus and she would still make more than 3x the average salary of those teachers.

Agreed. Chase the science. Build the technology. Fund the innovations.

But keep room in the heart, and in the budget, for the arts.

A civilization proves its power by what it can build.

It proves its soul by what it chooses to preserve.

One of the most laughable things on the internet is all the people in our government who have amassed a 39 trillion dollar debt telling us that if they could just tax Elon’s wealth, they could fix everything they have broken. 😂🤡

[IMPERATOR @IMPERATORAUS]

There is no way a religious person can win a debate with an atheist person, purely because the atheist cannot coherently defend objective, ontological truth when his worldview denies any objective ontological ground of being from which truth is contingent.

Whenever the atheist appeals to rationality, intelligibility, objective truth, or moral normativity, he is actually borrowing theistic metaphysics which are concepts that only make sense if reality participates in transcendental and ontological truth and is ordered by an objective Logos.

Without that grounding, the atheist's claims about "truth" collapse into subjective constructs or personal preferences.

More than this, if truth is not objective, then the atheist has no non‑arbitrary basis for claiming that the "truth of science" is a better framework for reality than the "opiate of religion".

So, if objective, ontological truth is real, then the atheist must concede that a transcendent ground of truth – which is God – exists.

But if there is no objective, ontological truth and only personal preference, then I choose religion, since religion gave us Western civilisation and atheism gave us the Holodomor.

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

Why is the left so arrogant?

Because they put their trust in a global elite. Not directly, but through the media and the universities the elite manipulate.

My dad always said it the other way around: privilege comes with responsibility. But responsibility is hard. Responsibility requires knowledge.

And in a world growing more complex and unpredictable by the year, understanding what’s happening around you takes more and more of it.

Twenty years ago you could walk through Manhattan around noon on a Sunday and watch half the city reading the Times. The thing was massive, but a fast, educated reader could come away with a decent picture of the whole world in a few hours.

Then two things happened.

Craigslist gutted newspaper revenue, and DEI mandates swapped great reporters for morally indignant j-school hacks. The quality and accuracy of information cratered.

At the same time, the internet roared to life and the world got radically more interconnected overnight.

So the elite grew less informed exactly as complexity exploded.

To cope, they borrowed a trick from NASA. There aren’t enough hours in the day to be the best rocket scientist and the best navigator and the best flight surgeon all at once. So mission control compartmentalized. The best person in each silo got a desk. Thruster problem? Everyone turns to the engine expert. Someone’s hurt? Everyone turns to the flight surgeon. The rocket guy never had to learn a thing about medicine.

The elite copied the model. They switched their brains off for anything outside their lane. Everyone specialized inside their own bubble.

But compartmentalization runs on trust. Put one bad actor in mission control, and the moment everyone turns to him, bad things happen.

To guard against that, they doubled down on credentialism. They learned to trust only the experts minted by certain colleges and blessed by certain think tanks.

And the bad actors had a field day. Fraud, disinformation, theft, all of it could happen inside a silo, unseen. And it did.

Then came a mission control director who told them not to worry. Everything was fine. They didn’t know what was going on, but he did, and he was smarter than all of them. He said so, right there in the meetings.

Everyone loves a brilliant, competent boss, especially a charismatic one who seems kind, because it means they no longer have to worry. He’s got it handled. Just trust him.

And trust Obama they did.

But he had nothing handled except his own aura. And he let Marxist actors run loose inside the silos that mattered, education and HR chief among them.

The right was skeptical, so they kept reading, kept hunting for alternative sources, kept trying to make sense of the complexity themselves. Nobody cracked it completely. But they started seeing the big red anomaly lights blinking across the dashboard.

So the smart people on the right kept building broad knowledge while the left stayed siloed. Ten years passed, and the left’s elite fell far, far behind.

They’re starting to see that Obama was a fool. But they’re stuck. You can’t cram ten years of missed homework into a few months. And they’re rich and powerful and have no interest in going back to school.

They have two options. Admit they were wrong and put in months, maybe years, of hard work to take responsibility for their actions. Or keep acting like sheep. If the rewards weren’t there, some might choose the work.

But the system is so riddled with fraud, so many hollowed-out silos kept on life support, that there’s more than enough money sloshing around the NGOs to fund their posh lives.

They have the privilege with none of the responsibility. It’s a comfortable place to sit. They don’t want to change.

But holding that position requires one thing: they have to believe their mission control director has it all under control and is smarter than anyone on the right.

The bottom line is the have to be arrogant. Or the whole house of cards comes down.

America spent $800M and 60 years eradicating screwworm. Cartels reseeded it in 2.5 years — 800,000 smuggled cattle a year, fake tags, zero inspections.

USDA's answer? $100 million for drones to surveil American cattle.

Not the cartels. Us.

Affordability is a big issue here in Florida.

When local elected officials come out AGAINST reducing your property taxes they’re actually REFUSING to make things more affordable for you and your families.

They CAN make things more affordable…they just dont want to.

Microsoft gave 12,000 engineers
Claude Code

they loved it

then the bill came up to $2,000 per person a month

so they took it away from everyone

if the biggest company in the world can't pay for it, how can normal people like us?

Many men of my generation did not leave Christianity because they studied themselves out of it. They left because the version of Christianity handed to them was too small to command their lives.

It was sentimental, embarrassed, therapeutic, worldly, and weak. It asked nothing great of them. It gave them no banner to fight under, no fathers to imitate, no civilization to inherit, no enemies to name, no duties to shoulder, and no King to obey in public.

The church had Christ on the sign, but the world in the pulpit. It spoke in Christian vocabulary while repeating the same moral assumptions that came from the television, the university, the HR department, the algorithm, and the regime.
