On gym attire:

There is an innate fantasy women have that goes like this: I am super duper pretty and everyone notices and loves me for this, but also this attention and power come with zero further implications or downsides

The fantasy is one thing, being frustrated it isn't reality is another

Most girls grow out of this as part of normal development (and you should! it's not realistic), learning that large amounts of attention and affection from, say, your dad, are freely given

....but that same kind of attention from strangers comes with strings attached

Posting bikini pics that get 10M likes means you have a lot of men saving them for...gross reasons

Going to the gym wearing next to nothing is attention grabbing for a reason, and you don't get to decide whose attention it grabs or the nature of that attention

It's a bit of a black pill, and you tend to (or, should) figure it out somewhere in your teens: strange men do not want to adore and dote on you for zero reason

To be clear, negative attention can happen even when you aren't doing something specifically out of the ordinary

Getting catcalled often happens in the most normal outfits - it's just the flip side of being young and pretty

The issue is this has evolved into almost an ideology: rather than recognizing the reality that attention is a double-edged sword, there's an impulse to regulate the attention i.e. "You can only notice me in the ways I want"

You become like the dog meme below, saying "No sexual thoughts, only attention"

Unfortunately for its advocates, this line of thinking is waging war with reality itself

He became a paraplegic in the course of shooting 45 people and murdering 13 of them, including a 21 year old pregnant woman who died curled up in fear screaming “my baby, my baby.”

I'm done apologizing for the war on terror

Yes, forever wars were a mistake but that was based on the faulty neoliberal notion of nation building...and I won't deny that Iraq was the wrong country to invade

But the objective was to move the front lines out of the US and to take the fight to the enemy on foreign soil. Back then people understood that you couldn't have an open society with the threat of terrorism looming over every public gathering

Look, we got so much wrong but to say that the sacrifices were for nothing bothers me alot

So I'm not going to apologize for doing what was necessary to keep the homeland safe and to reestablish deterrence. If you don't hit them back 100X harder then they won't learn that lesson

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

What’s the objection? You only approve of “Execution by Musketry” when it’s without a trial, like Charlie Kirk?

Spare us your boos. We’ve seen what makes you cheer.

[Larry Sanger @lsanger]

How anti-Israeli is Wikipedia?
So anti-Israeli that on October 7, October 7 is not mentioned.

[Wilfred Reilly @wil_da_beast630]

Most nations, historically, would have annihilated Gaza after 10/7 - slaughtered every fighting man, destroyed every base of support for them, and pointed the broken survivors west to try to find mercy in Egypt.

Today, we are expected to take media from the literal terror state which launched the war at face value, and blame the VICTIMS for a response which killed 2% of the aggressor's population.

It almost cannot be over-stated how absurd this is. Prey morality, socialism, and similar philosophies are cancers based upon the exploitation of empathy - which spread through society like gray-green mold through bread, and occasionally must be cut out in the same way.

[Miranda Devine @mirandadevine]

The reason measles has become a problem again is because Joe Biden allowed millions of unvaccinated people across the border. These outbreaks started in migrant shelters. Nothing to do with Bobby Kennedy Jnr.

[Gummi @gummibear737]

Spend at least a little bit of time each day being grateful for what you have and take for granted, rather than what you don't have

Here's a thought experiment: imagine that all indoor plumbing suddenly disappeared. No running water, no toilets

Imagine how dramatically that would change your quality of life. Think of all the additional work you would need to do in order to compensate for that loss

And this is just one small thing. Keep in mind that we live in the greatest period of time to be alive

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I have just completed what I believe to be the most comprehensive evaluation of Charlotte NC arrest records in history.

This project has taken me 3 months to complete, combing through over 50,000+ arrest records and mugshots.

I've found what appears to be massive fraud.

Thousands of Hispanics have been labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" in the arrest records... THOUSANDS.

In fact, I found over 500 cases where Hispanics who were arrested more than once... had their "Ethnicity" CHANGED from "Hispanic" to "Caucasian" from one arrest to another.

Horrifyingly, I found HUNDREDS of these "White Caucasians" were actually ILLEGAL ALIENS from foreign countries with ICE detainers.

Perhaps most disturbing...

Many of the illegal aliens who were labelled as "WHITE CAUCASIAN" had already been released back into the public, DESPITE the ICE detainer requesting they stay in prison.

We have a serious problem.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Any democrat that wins this November will choose illegal aliens over Americans.

For this reason, I will be voting for EVERY Republican on my Pennsylvania ballot.

[Joel Berry @JoelWBerry]

It’s utterly insane and criminal that there are 10 seats in the U.S. House representing noncitizens

[Mike Lee @SenMikeLee]

Again: this is objectively a bigger scandal than Watergate.

The main difference is that the
Democrat establishment & media happily look the other way when the DOJ is used to spy upon Donald Trump’s campaign chief, with no regard for the dangerous precedent set.

[Ida Turan 🇮🇷 @iranidaturan]

I am Iranian, and it gives me no pleasure to say this. I say it because I have already lived through what you still treat as unthinkable.

But Paul is right. 250,000 armed men can take a huge number of lives in 48 hours. Ten months ago, on 8 and 9 January, it happened in Iran. A relatively small number of regime IRGC gunmen killed at least 72,000 people. That is the latest figure President Trump has said was documented. I believe the real number is higher.

@DouglasKMurray once said that Westerners cannot really imagine what religious fanatics are like, and that despite all the rhetoric, everything changes when the other man might kill you.

Most people in England still cannot picture it. They think what happened in Iran on those two days, or what happened on 7 October, is a horror reserved for other people, in other places. It is not. You are not immune. Not at all.

Your politicians have brought the same kind of men into this country. IRGC, Hamas and Hezbollah supporters. No vetting. They live among you. Many of them are sleeper cells. They have not been activated, YET.

The people who were supposed to protect you are in bed with the same terrorists. Last month the US Treasury Secretary, @SecScottBessent , said on camera that Washington knows where the regime’s accounts sit in trust companies in the British Virgin Islands, and knows the hundred-million-dollar houses it owns around the world.

Regime’s new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been linked by a Bloomberg investigation to more than £100 million in luxury London property, held through intermediaries. That is the tip of the iceberg. So when I say something is going on behind the scenes, that is not a conspiracy theory.

They announce that the IRGC is banned, that diplomatic ties are cut, and so on. It is a sham. UK has been one of the biggest lifelines the Islamic regime has had.

I warned long ago that a parallel power structure was being built in the mosques, the community centres, and elsewhere. An army is being assembled. Once it is deployed, it will be too late. They may not be able to take over UK, but they certainly can inflict an unimaginable pain on you. They hate you enough for that. There is a reason they are called death cult.

Not long ago @manototv released a documentary, “This Is Our Story“, cut from footage of 8 and 9 January in Iran. I will put the YouTube link here. Watch it, and send it to the friend who is not political, who is not here in X, the liberal, the person who still defends this immigration madness and cannot see the monster growing in the dark. Tell them, you are not immune to this. Wake up before it is too late.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the famous Tweet below.

That Tweet serves to explain why Pete Hegseth is so despised by so many.

Under Obama and Biden, we were perilously close to our nation's military turning into an armed force whose primary purpose was to promote and advance the racist, sexist, xenophobic, bigoted policies of DEI.

DEI is just another form of Communism. It's a policy designed to fracture society along Frankfurt School lines of hate so that the Communists (a/k/a "Democrats") can achieve and maintain power.

Transforming America's most respected institution into yet another purveyor of race hatred was their ultimate goal--it would have resulted in total victory for their side.

We were THAT close to losing it all.

Then Trump got elected, appointed the right man to serve as Secretary of War, and ever since Hegseth has been taking a wrecking ball to their DEI fever dream.

Hegseth is the most important and consequential SecDef/War in any of our lifetimes.

I just explained why the insane hatred for Hegseth is so disturbingly deep and profound.

All I can say is this: God bless Pete Hegseth and the way he has saved our nation's military.

"Can you imagine a world without Islam?"

Yeah... I can.

I really can.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

“Free Palestine” means destroy Europe, America, and Japan, conquer them, and Islamize them.

[Honey Badger @SalsaPrice]

Just know that the pilot who stabbed the other pilot in an attempt to kill 100s today would have been described as a moderate/devout Muslim yesterday, who would never harm a fly.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

Legacy media are terrorists.

A pilot was stabbed.

NYT: “altercation”
CNN: “altercation”
WSJ: “struggle”
BBC: “fight”
Sky News: “brawl”

Enemies of humanity.
You still underestimate the media.

[Gummi @gummibear737]

All they do is yell genocide while never replying to issues such as combatants as part of the total number of casualties, the nature of urban warfare against insurgents that use civilians for cover and what civilian/combatant death ratios exist in other conflicts (including US’s)
