Recovered grad student who once kissed Derrida's ring (lips still burn) tested Marx & came back Constitutionalist. Just want a few acres, some chicks & bees.
In a 1990 graduate Critical Theory seminar, we were openly discussing how Islam could be leveraged as a weapon against the hegemony of Western culture. One young Jewish woman rightly asked what that allegiance might mean for women. The (female) Prof made a face and said "well there are some things the community just wont allow." Years later, that Islamic tail is wagging the leftist dog.
Frank has been through far more than any dog should. 💔 Abandoned, deaf, incredibly sick, and severely malnourished, this beautiful boy needed urgent help. We promised to do everything we could to save him.
Today? He is up, running, and bulked up like a completely different dog! Seeing him so strong and happy makes it all worth it. We are so proud of you, Frank!
This is actually true—
Duke Energy guaranteed a $10 million line of credit so the Democrats could hold their 2012 convention in Charlotte.
The host committee never paid it back. Duke simply wrote it off. Shareholders (and ultimately ratepayers) ate roughly $6 million of the cost after taxes.
Jim Rogers, Duke’s CEO at the time and a co-chair of the host committee, shrugged it off as a contribution “for the greater good.”
Years later Lynn Good collected $20–21 million packages—mostly stock and incentives—while North Carolina families watched electricity prices climb and the company sought rate hikes.
A regulated monopoly underwriting one party’s convention, absorbing the loss, then handing its top executives eight-figure pay.
That’s the arrangement.
Thankfully, I've never been raped, but I seriously have no empathy for a woman who waits years to accuse someone. If it happened, report it... IMMEDIATELY. Get the evidence secured. Help catch the guy.
Did you say that you didn't report it because of "shame?" The shame lies with the perpetrator. Be reasonable or hold your peace and let God fight your battle.
Memories fade, and circumstances can get exaggerated after years of replaying unpleasant memories. Why do the courts (including the courts of public opinion) continue to give credence to these women? Anyone can say anything, but the only reason that I'll support conviction is if there is evidence, not eyewitnesses years later, just concrete, pure evidence.
Just my opinion.
I have to hand it to the Woke Right for their highly successful Doomer operation. They convinced a LOT of normie Republicans and most young ones that they voted for the guy who fixed it and then didn't. They did this not only so he'd fail but also to position themselves as the "tough guy" solution that won't when they get power. Very cynical.
The truth is that Trump started a 20+ year cleanup process (optimistic, honestly) of a 50+ year demoralization and entryism campaign ("long march"), and then the Woke Right successfully accused him of failing for not getting it done in six months.
They successfully made the voting base mad enough to believe these unrealistic things and that only desperate radicalism and maybe violence can actually solve the problem. This is all a self-serving lie, of course, but it worked.
They never tried to explain the reality of the situation. They never tried to keep heads cool and focused and dealing with the real problem. They just whipped up mobs of young angry people and fools to believe Trump failed to keep his promises and do what he said he'd do. Constantly. From the start.
Successful operation. Nicely run, guys.
The idiocy of some people on X knows no bounds. I am quote posting a lunatic as a lesson in how not to let social media paranoia impact your mind.
Two years ago my wife and I took a riverboat cruise called "Passage to Eastern Europe" on Viking cruises.
Here is a link to our cruise:

Those of you who have followed me for a long time may recall all the cool photos I posted from that vacation.
We spent one day docked in Belgrade, and I spent about 6 hours in Belgrade, including visiting a really cool cathedral and then wasting time in a stupid shopping mall while Serbians stared at us.
For this, in the minds of the deranged, I am now a secret, paid Russian information op operating through Serbia.
Normally I just block such idiots, but I want to highlight this insanity just as a lesson in how extremely deranged people on social media can get based on their paranoia and low-IQ conspiratorialist thinking.
Remember this the next time you hear something outlandish on X. Please be discerning.
Last week I was asked if we could take 2 golden retrievers who had been surrendered. As soon as I saw the video of them looking frail, broken and unwell I agreed. 2 very kind ladies fought for their freedom and drove the dogs to meet our team today.
The story is complicated and I won’t go into it here. What I can share is that a third sibling died. Although these 2 dogs look ok at first glance there are so many problems. Their fluffiness is covering some very malnourished and unhealthy dogs. Despite that their tails won’t stop wagging.
The ladies who saved them named them Bonnie and Clyde. The perfect names for 2 dogs on the run from their past and hoping to start a new life with us.
There are a lot more questions than answers right now for these 2. What I do know is that we will try our very best to save them, build them back up and make better lives for them. Bonnie and Clyde have had some early treatments and are sleeping beside each other in the hospital.
Let’s see what we can do 🤞❤️
Sad, miserable people justifying their lonely existence as being some liberation from the oppressive chains of monogamy, family, and traditional values. I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at those who convinced you this life was somehow “better”, and sad for you that you believed it
Reminder that the MSM knows that what Democrats are doing here (smearing a political opponent as a pedophile) is evil and immoral.
During the Biden years they told us that this should never be done. And yet all the people in this video are going to run with this nonsense.
🇦🇺 She survived the execution of her fellow nurses. Then, for three and a half years, her friends kept that survival a secret.
On February 16, 1942, Japanese soldiers ordered 22 Australian nurses into the sea at Radji Beach, on Bangka Island.
Two days earlier, the nurses had survived the sinking of the SS Vyner Brooke while fleeing Singapore.
Now machine guns opened fire behind them.
Vivian Bullwinkel, 26, was hit. She fell into the water and lay motionless until the soldiers left. Of the 22 nurses, she alone survived.
For 12 days, she hid with a wounded British soldier, tending him despite her own injury. Eventually, they surrendered. He died soon afterward.
In captivity, Vivian found other nurses who had survived the shipwreck. She told them what had happened on the beach.
They understood the danger: their captors must never discover that a witness to the massacre was still alive.
For the rest of their imprisonment, they never spoke of it.
Through hunger, disease, and years of captivity on Bangka and Sumatra, they protected her secret. Eight of the captured Australian nurses died before freedom came.
Vivian survived to testify at the Tokyo war crimes tribunal and spent decades honoring her murdered colleagues.
She died on July 3, 2000, aged 84.
During captivity, silence had helped protect her. Afterward, she made sure the world heard their story.

Posobiec has weaseled his way to a position where he is granted one on one interviews with the Vice President and Secretary of War. Online, he throws out ludicrous and spiteful slander to spark these absurd sectarian culture wars and play the victim/ He’s a leftist shit-stain yet his behavior is rewarded.
This is a warning to all parents: love your children and give them plenty of attention, lest they seek it through performative political stunts.
Give them purpose in faith and family lest they seek it in secular Leftwing ideologies.
If you look closely at the forearm of Michelangelo’s Moses, you’ll find a tiny muscle that only tightens when you lift your little finger, and since Moses has his little finger raised, Michelangelo carved that muscle tensed beneath the marble...
He poured that extraordinary knowledge of the human body into a statue carved between 1513 and 1515 for one of the most ambitious projects of his life: the tomb of Pope Julius II.
The horns on his head, which surprise almost everyone who sees them, come from the Latin Bible of the time. In the Book of Exodus, the Hebrew word describing Moses’ face as he came down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments is usually translated today as “shining,” but it is related to the Hebrew word for “horn,” and Saint Jerome’s Latin translation rendered the passage as “his face was horned.” By Michelangelo’s time, artists across Europe had been showing Moses with horns for centuries, and he followed that long tradition.
Today Moses sits in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome, looking so alive that it’s easy to forget he’s made of stone. Michelangelo seems to have felt the same way: according to a famous story, when he finished the statue, he was so proud of how real it looked that he struck it on the knee with his hammer and shouted, “Why don’t you speak?”
I’ve stood in front of him, and I can tell you that in person it really does feel as if he might answer at any moment…
Also, who still remembers that back in February, Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use Claude for war—and the left cheered them as heroes?
Now the same people are attacking Elon for doing the same thing, only this time people are actually dying.
The double standard clearly shows they don’t care about Ukraine; they’re just anti-America.
What DSA extremists want won’t work
But as it fails, it’ll succeed in destroying America
America is the sacrifice they’re willing to make in pursuit of their extremist agenda
‘Weak leadership combined with ideological capture, perceived prestige for the organisation, and fear had all led to children being harmed.’
Gender ideology has spread like wildfire through the NHS. The casualties: kids and whistleblowers.

Thanks to @KenPaxtonTX, the Texas Children’s Hospital was FORCED to open the nation’s first Detransition Clinic as part of their settlement for illegally abusing, mutilating and sterilizing children.
They also have to pay $10 Million in restitution and to cut ties with doctors who mutilated kids.
This is a huge win! 🙏 And it’s not lost on me that this happened while Paxton is in a dead heat against a worm who openly supports this kind of child abuse.
If you haven’t voted yet, get out and vote. I didn’t vote for Paxton in the primary, but I’d be dammed if I didn’t get out and support him now.
God Bless Texas! ❤️☺️
