As a Native American I’m a little offended that the 14th Amendment didn’t grant us citizenship until Congress passed an exception for us. Meanwhile, a CCP spy can fly to Guam, drop a baby and fly home with the baby who qualifies to run for president 35 years later.

[Reb Clausen @TennisGirl_0811]

@nmlinguaphile You are correct. That fact alone - that Congress had to pass an exception for Native Americans - should have made this a 9-0 slam dunk to return to the original intent of the Amendment - children of the freed slaves.

@marklevinshow Roberts is a cowardly political weathervane. His decisions in these sorts of cases are always going to be ugly contortions of reasoning that he shoehorns into an opinion, because he’s necessarily working backwards to arrive at a preferred, predetermined outcome.

This guy wore a black silk glove on one hand for almost thirty years, and the reason why is wild. Meet Richard Henry Lee, the man who actually proposed American independence.

Quick correction to what most people think. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration. But he didn't propose breaking from Britain. Richard Henry Lee did.

On June 7, 1776, Lee stood up in the Continental Congress and laid down the words that started everything: "Resolved, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states." That motion, the Lee Resolution, is the thing that forced the vote. Jefferson was then assigned to write up the document explaining why. So the order people skip is this. Lee proposes the divorce. Jefferson writes the letter. Without Lee's resolution, there's no Declaration to sign.

Now the glove. Back in 1768, years before any of this, Lee was out hunting on his own land and his rifle exploded in his hands. The blast tore four fingers off his left hand. For the rest of his life he covered the damage with a black silk glove. And here's the part I love. He turned it into a weapon. When he gave speeches, he'd gesture with that gloved, ruined hand, and people couldn't look away from it.

Because make no mistake, this man could talk. People who heard him speak compared him to Cicero, the legendary Roman orator. He was the voice in the room. His own brother Francis Lightfoot Lee, who also signed the Declaration, was the quiet one. Richard was thunder.

He grew up at Stratford Hall in Virginia, the same house where Robert E. Lee would later be born into the same famous family. He helped lead the colony toward revolution, served in Congress, later became president of Congress under the Articles of Confederation, and finished his career as one of Virginia's first United States senators.

A man with half a hand, who stood up and said out loud the dangerous thing nobody else would put in a motion, and changed the course of history with one sentence.

Richard Henry Lee. The man who moved that America should be free.

@FUDHelpdesk @ReviewsPossum Why go long and not short? Btw, you do know that Soros made his fortune shorting the British Pound, nearly into oblivion, right?

@yesnicksearcy Barack is the biggest fraud ever. The classic empty suit, snake-oil salesman.

@DefiantLs This dude makes my skin crawl. Awful person.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Remember when the GOP gave Elon Musk a standing ovation in front of the American people...

...and then only voted on 1 DOGE cut, didn't defund the Taliban, gave $315 MILLION to a far Left group that DOGE defunded, and NEVER passed the SAVE ACT?

I don't understand the GOP...

@mazemoore For his HS senior season, my son was forced to wear a mask under his hockey helmet, get changed into his gear in the parking lot in the middle of winter, and parents had to watch the games via video feed, if one was avail at all. I knew this was madness from day one. All of it.

This pilot won at life, but I hate seeing these great patriots retire. You just know when you see that gray hair and the American flag tie, you’re flying with the highest quality pilot.

@megbasham @natebargatze Huge fan here, @natebargatze - please listen to this. Do not respond, and, for the love of God, do not apologize. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing and the mob will move on to the next fake outrage.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

Dear @natebargatze, I have been a huge fan from your early club days. This was from when you came to The Comedy Zone in Charlotte in 2019.

And I had already been a fan of yours for years at that point.

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but please, please don’t listen to these people. Please don’t feel that you need to respond. They are begging for you to respond, they are dying for you to respond. So they can turn it into a multi-week story that they hope will destroy your career.

Because they don’t want you to have your career. Because you didn’t get it through them. You got it club by club, small release by small release where you built up a loyal fan base of people like me.

For the love of all that is holy, ignore them.

I went to a prestigious prep school (Choate).

By default, I know way too many people who slid into the USAID grifter circuit.

It’s way worse than you think: nauseating buzzword-filled circle-jerks on Zoom calls, business-class conferences in Zurich, private champagne dinners, and endless layers of outsourcing (each one taking their fat cut) - all on unlimited expense accounts.

Saying 90% of the “aid” disappears into admin, overhead, and fraud is a gross understatement.

And for what?

So these con artists can LARP as humanitarian saviors, feign respectability, and send their kids to private school…

…all on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers.

It's a lifestyle racket. A facade.

And the worst part is that we're all expected to hold these people in high regard.

@Variety Please go fuck yourselves sideways. You and your ilk are despicable.

I made a lot of videos about the pandemic. I think this is the best one. It captures the insanity really well.

NYT headline yesterday:

A driver in a Tesla vehicle that was engaged in automated driver-assistance mode crashed into a house in Texas and killed a woman.

Today: Tesla logs confirm the driver manually overrode the self-driving system and had the accelerator floored the entire time.

The first headline (lie) gets all the clicks.
The facts get overlooked.
And the NYT doesn't bother with a correction because it doesn't fit their narrative.

He calls ICE the enemy at his Presidential Center.

Truly unbelievable…the Deporter-in-Chief who honored Tom Homan now hates enforcement.

Race-baiting shakedown artist exposed. It’s always about race with him.
