Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

Gad Saad thinks Canada is in Stage 5 of suicidal empathy because it's a country that's a collection of all the most dreadful ideas: open border policies, non-meritocracy, socialism, narcissism, laziness, & greed.

He is not optimistic about the country's future.

This is biblical.

A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.

Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.

She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.

What terrifies me about this attempted beheading is the potential backlash against peaceful beheaders.

Elbows are now down and a new slogan in Canada is now:

Fortress North America.

🇨🇦🤝🇺🇲

[David Parker @david_parker]

I still can't get over the fact that the Canadian government is not ashamed by the fact that they are giving people money for groceries. In any normal country, this would be an abject admission of total failure.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

This is not talked about enough:

Austin Metcalf's killer raised $700k so far in donations from people showing support for murdering a white kid

[Alexander Zoltan @AmazingZoltan]

CBC: "Oh, you killed 16 people? A fifth chance at avoiding deportation is more than appropriate."

ALSO THE CBC: "Oh, you were falsely accused of sexual assault? No fresh start for you."

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

The UK won two world wars and Japan lost one horrifically. Yet it’s Japan that is still a culturally homogeneous, high-trust, low-crime country.

Mass immigration does more damage to your nation than being hit with a nuclear bomb.

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

Poilievre makes the BEST point here

If Donald Trump is to blame for Canada being in a recession

WHY is no other country in a recession?

WHY is MEXICO not in a recession??

@Inevitablewest won't see any of this on mainstream media. imagine the roles were reversed. George floyd 2.0

[Alexander Augustine @WurzelRoot]

i really can't get over that The Joker movie showed 3 train harassers to be white bankers. Like thats so fucking hilarious. Did they put up all the graffiti on the walls too? Such a classic New York City experience to get on the subway and be menaced by white finance bros.

Interesting choice to put "terrorist" in quotes but not "Swiss".
