Well, they already lost their birthright, Matt.
The original 13 colonies were 80% to 90% agrarian, with horses as the major means of transport, no electricity, no railroads, no canals, no A/C and no Chinese takeout.
Senators were elected by state legislatures, and if we kept the original House of Representative population ratios, the House would have 11,000 members. There was no income tax, no federal reserve, no restrictions on gun ownership.
According to the original constitution and its Letters of Marque clause, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos should be able to run their own private nuclear-armed naval carrier groups available for rental to the government during times of war.
None of that is true anymore.
America hasn't resembled the country our ancestors established for at least a century.
The SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling is a complete disaster, but so is your argument against it.
@MattWalshBlog Creating a framing of a pregnant women walking from Guatemala to the border and then sprinting across the border actually harms your position because it shows you don't even have a modicum of common sense, much less ever dealt with a pregnant woman in your life.
Right into my veins!💉
Justice Thomas:
"Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable 'biological' characteristic...it is binary."
"To use language to obscure reality—to show 'indifference regarding the truth'—is to lie to the public..."
In life, you must choose your regrets.
“You'll regret it if you get married. You'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids, and you'll regret it if you don't.
Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows:
‘Whatever you choose, you'll regret it. Because the problem isn't in your choices; it's in romanticizing a life you haven't lived.
A person always finds an untraveled path alluring and mysterious.
That's why the issue isn't making the right choice.
It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with.’
What have you decided?” — Salih Guney
For the past 27 days, I’ve been writing in a gratitude journal before touching my phone.
Benefits I’ve seen are peaceful mornings and slight improvement in mental health.
It’s quietly changing my life. Gonna keep doing it.
The grandmother hypothesis might explain why women live long after menopause.
Chris Williamson says human kids are so helpless that we needed extra caregivers. Grandmothers stepping in to help raise the next generation was key to our survival as a species.
That’s why multi-generational living was the norm for most of human history, and why moving away at 18 is such a new (and isolating) idea.
What’s your opinion, do you think multi-generational living has benefits we’ve lost in modern society?
💥NEW: Victor Davis Hanson imitates Kamala Harris in brutal roast 🤣
"She knows nothing, has no detail, no memory, a vocabulary of 500 words ... I'm not trying to be malicious, but she does act inebriated."
"I can't believe being in the same room with her every day. Can you imagine?: 'What are we going to have for dinner?'"
"'Dinner. It's such a cosmic idea. I mean, think about it. Dinner. It came after lunch. But what is lunch? Who knows? But everybody cares. Let's talk about it. Think about it. We're becoming lunch and then we become dinner and that's a process of becoming breakfast. It's fascinating. And I look at the stars and it's the same thing.'"
Finding a suitable spouse has become a full-time job. We've turned one of the most natural parts of life into one of its most complicated projects.
In the past, there was a widely understood life script. It was reinforced by families, schools, religious institutions, and the broader culture. The sequence was straightforward: go to school, get a job, find a partner, get married, and have children.
Today, that script has largely disappeared. Our culture no longer consistently tells young people what the major milestones of adult life are or how to reach them. As a result, building a family now requires a level of planning and intentionality that would have seemed unnecessary a generation or two ago.
I've spoken to many smart, successful men. They tell me they have to treat finding a suitable partner like a second job. Some even put their careers on hold to focus on it. How do I meet someone? How do I find a person who shares my values? How do I build a relationship that leads to marriage and children?
It didn't used to be this way. The social mechanisms that brought young people together were already in place. People met organically through their communities, families, churches, schools, and mutual friends. It shouldn't require this much time and effort to find someone to build a life with. That's one of the problems with our culture today.
Watergate absolutely should have ended Nixons presidency. That’s what accountability looks like. The scandal wasn’t the burglary; it was the abuse of power, obstruction, and cover-up. Sound familiar JD?
The crazy part isn’t that Watergate brought down Nixon. The crazy part is that we’ve reached a point where some people think presidential corruption is just another news cycle.
During their 600-year rule, the Ottomans killed an estimated 4 million Christians, enslaved 1.2 million white Europeans and 1.5 million Africans, and committed the genocide of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks, who were all Christians.
These two clowns think it was fun.
This is a point I’ve made before in a slightly different way. The average liberal hears that somebody screamed the N-word at a nice black guy in a suit and they feel it way down in their gut. What a fucking despicable thing to do. The type of person who would do that is pure scum, the worst of the Earth. It’s disgusting. The feeling is visceral. Makes them wanna puke. Who could possibly do such a thing?
But then they hear a story about a black teenager who stomped on another man’s head until he died and… well they’re not going to condone it, obviously, but the passion, the intensity, the disgust — it’s just not there.
And I just think, like, you know, stomping on another man’s head is worse than saying something racist. I think that should be obvious to everybody. And I think the fact that one of these things feels to liberals like an absolute kick in the gut and the other one doesn’t is deranging a lot of their politics.
JD Hall appeared on Tucker Carlson saying that Muslims were "very kind" to Christians, didn't "tax churches," and even "took care of our holy sites."
In this brief video, I debunk these claims with the actual historical record:
"If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." -GW
A housewife contributes financially by saving the family the high costs of childcare, cooking, and cleaning services. By staying at home she also saves on car and gas expenses, clothing and eating out. She often enjoys simple homey amusements and so doesn't need to take expensive vacations. Lots of perks to having a housewife.
Tucker Carlson says that the Ottomans were very kind to Christians. Don't forget that 200 years ago, in Chios, 42,000 Greek Christians were massacred by the Muslim Turks and 52,000 were sold into slavery. It was a taste of their kindness.
