Fucking hell, they just did it!
The BBC actually described the Islamo-leftist riots burning France to the ground as “MOSTLY PEACEFUL”!
But Danny Tommo puncturing a people smuggling boat is terrorism to them.
Defund them NOW!

@JohnStossel @SpaceX @Tesla This is simply due to my ownership stakes in SpaceX and Tesla.

As those companies build more and more, their value increases and all shareholders benefit.

The takers of the world who have never built anything, like Bernie, do as they always do and take from the makers.

Mamdani was asked to define socialism and pulls a sleight of hand..

The reality is socialism redistributes wealth, it generally does not create it. It needs a capitalist host to suck from resources from.

And defining it as “the government makes sure you have everything you need to live a dignified life”, is not the definition..

Watch the bait-and-switch:

A) When the Bible is used to advance a “conservative” cause, it’s “evil Christian Nationalism” (that he’s spent his entire campaign decrying) or it’s “forcing your religion on other people” and must be FORECEFULLY DENOUNCED.

But when the Bible is used to advance a progressive cause, aw shucks it’s just me being Christlike, “speaking truth to power”, and seeking “justice” or “compassion.”

His whole campaign is, ”Christian Nationalism for ME, but not for THEE” and hoping you won’t notice.

B) What progressives do is take the commands Jesus gave to INDIVIDUALS and apply them to the GOVERNMENT.

When Christians use words like “caring” or “generous” they mean caring for people and being generous with their own resources.

When progressives use the words “caring” and “generous”, they mean “vote for the government to forcibly take OTHER PEOPLE’S RESOURCES at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.”

Of course, this *always* backfires because governments do not work like people and churches, so with governments you tends to get more of what you INCENTIVIZE and less of what you PENALIZE.

This is why cities and states that throw billions of $ at “solving homelessness” end up with MORE HOMELESSNESS, they do not “solve homelessness.”

This is a theology-nerd thing, but in general progressives want the government to do the roles of the church and individual (charity, compassion, care), and they want NOBODY to do the role of the State (administer justice and be a “terror to the wrongdoer”).

^^^this always results in societal chaos and darkness.

Further…

What Talarico (and other progressives) always do is selevtively edit Jesus, so that he becomes a mascot for their cause.

I can do a “when Jesus…” list too, but James won’t like mine…

- When Jesus defined marriage, he defined it as only between a man and a woman

- When Jesus talked about gender, he rooted it in biology, saying “he made them male and female”

- When Jesus talked about harming children (abortion), he said it would be better for you to have millstone tied around your neck and be cast into the ocean

- … that time when Jesus encouraged his followers to buy weapons for self-defense (Luke 22:36)

- Jesus’ family strictly obeyed the government’s border / migration / census laws.

- When Jesus talked about salvation, he said belief in him was the ONLY WAY

- When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t need a deductible… there were no insurance companies in AD 30, and Jesus was using miraculous power, not paying doctors. This would be like an anti-vaxxer saying “JESUS WASNT VACCINATED!” as justification for their position)

- When Jesus fed the hungry, he FED THE HUNGRY. He did not vote for the government to forcibly take other people’s stuff at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.

I could go on and on and on and on…

The point is, Jesus is a LORD of the universe, not a MASCOT for your cause.

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

A couple years ago, Mikala Sposito applied for a work ethic scholarship from my foundation. She asked for $2,700.00 to help realize her dream of becoming a welder. (Actually, her first dream was to become an Olympian. As a kid, she excelled at horseback riding, dance, soccer, and track, but not quite at the Olympic level. So, Mikala adjusted her dream and focused on something within her reach. Precisely the kind of commonsense approach to making a living we try to encourage.) Toward that end, Mikala filled out the application, jumped through all the necessary hoops, and signed the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge, as all applicants must.

According to our internal ranking system, which is inherently subjective and relative to each batch of new applicants, Mikala scored a 94, and was awarded $2,100.00, or roughly 80% of what she asked for. This is typical of the average percentage awarded to an excellent applicant. As a rule, we almost never award the entire amount requested. We want our recipients to have some skin in the game, and we encourage all applicants to apply for additional scholarship funds elsewhere, which Mikala did. But in this case, if I had it to do over again, I think I’d have awarded Mikala the full $2,700.00. Why? Because this woman is precisely why I award work ethic scholarships in the first place, as recent headlines prove. Headlines all over the country that identify Mikala Sposito as the sole welder to represent Team USA in the upcoming @WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai.

This is a very big deal. The World Skills competition is often referred to as the Olympics of the skilled trades, so it looks like Mikala’s dream is coming true after all. And it seems to me her journey is worth a brief encapsulation. Before she applied for a scholarship from mikeroweWORKS, Mikala demonstrated an affinity for welding in SkillsUSA. As a senior at Dexter High School, she won 1st Place at the SkillsUSA Michigan high school competition and went on to place 14th nationally. Then, as a freshman at Washtenaw Community College, she repeated her success by taking 1st Place in the Michigan college division. She then advanced to nationals, where she finished 8th in the country. That earned her an invitation to the Team USA pre-trials, which whittled the nation's top 16 young welders down to three. At the final USA Weld Trials at the Robotics Technology Park in Huntsville, Alabama, each competitor was evaluated on precision, safety, technical execution, craftsmanship, and multi-process capabilities under extreme time constraints. Mikala Sposito took the Gold, officially becoming the first woman to represent the United States in welding at WorldSkills. Next week, she’ll face off against the absolute best of the best from all over the world.

I should point out that Mikala would prefer it if the press didn’t make a big deal of her gender, and I completely understand. (She’s a welder – not a “weld-her.”) But today, the industry is in desperate need of proof that women can and do excel in the trades. Nationally, just 4.3% of tradespeople are female. At mikeroweWORKS, our female applicants are closer to 20%, but I assure you that percentage could be much higher. Companies are anxious to recruit talented welders of any gender, and women need to understand and believe the opportunities are real. Mikala prove that in spades, and I want to offer her my sincere congratulations, and invite all of you to do the same. Because Mikala Sposito is exactly what our country needs a lot more of. People who understand that talent is never enough to compensate for laziness.

In her application, she wrote, “Hard work beats talent any day of the week, and nobody is going to outwork me. Period.”

She also connected with every point of the S.W.E.A.T. Pledge but said the final tenet resonated with her the most. “Some people choose to be lazy. Some people choose to sleep in. I choose to work my butt off.”
My favorite quote, however, is Mikala’s response to seasoned professionals who see her wield a torch and call her a “natural.”

“I’m not a natural,” she says. Far from it. And none of this came easy. I worked and trained 60-80 hours a week for two years to get here.”

Regardless of what happens in Shanghai, the job offers are already piling up, including the most recent from SpaceX. She hasn’t graduated yet, but the future looks bright, and I for one would not bet against her.

PS. I never do this, but since my name is in the title of the foundation, I suppose I can. Mikala – please accept the additional $600 you requested from mikeroweWORKS two years ago. Shanghai is expensive, and since you’re representing all of us, we’d like to provide you with a little walking around money. The check is in the mail.

Now…go get the gold!

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Our soldiers get wounded in combat, retire after years of service and earns disability compensation from the VA for what combat cost him. Just for Washington to quietly take it back, dollar for dollar, out of his retirement check.

Thousands of disabled combat veterans are living this right now, watching two earned benefits collapse into one.

This isn't policy. This is a broken promise.

Yesterday, we signed the discharge petition, the final signature to force the Major Richard Star Act to the floor for a vote. Our combat veterans earned both of these benefits the hard way. They shouldn't have to fight Washington to keep them.

With roughly 400,000 veterans, South Carolina is home to more veterans per capita than any other state in the country. Especially here in the Lowcountry, fighting for those who fought for us will always be a priority.
