@EricR_WeeK Anyone this stupid shouldn't vote.

[G8rEd @G8rEd]

@mattvanswol Good. We need more of this. We have kids near us that ride them on a 55mph state road, in the dark, with no lights. When one of them gets killed all you apologists will complain the police should have done something.

@mattvanswol Where in Florida do "violent offenders walk out on no bond every single day."

Mayor Mamdani, you said war criminals who set foot in New York should be arrested.
Good news. One is in New York city this week.
The president of the Islamic Republic is coming to the United Nations, right here in New York.
He heads the regime that massacre innocent protesters. They gunned down unarmed protesters in the streets, hanged our children, and sent its agents to Brooklyn to kidnap and kill a New Yorker.
That New Yorker is me. The FBI files and federal indictments are public. Look them up.
If you have the courage to talk about arresting those responsible for crimes against humanity, start with the man sleeping five miles from your office.
Are you willing to act, Mayor? Or do Iranian lives not count?

🚨🇺🇸 CAR@LHO, QUE LAPADA! 🔥🔥🔥

CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...”

Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?”

CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...”

Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.”

CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...”

Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?”

CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.”

Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.”

CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...”

Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?”

CNN: “Você está polarizando.”

Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”

I have to admit, I’m enjoying watching some of my friends suddenly discover their deep, almost sacred reverence for historic names now that Donald Trump has renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America.”

Where was this passionate defense of tradition when we spent the last decade playing cultural Mad Libs with names?

The Cleveland Indians became the Guardians.

The Washington Redskins became the Commanders.

Aunt Jemima was evicted from the breakfast table and replaced by Pearl Milling Company.

Uncle Ben got demoted to Ben’s Original.

The Native American woman disappeared from Land O’Lakes butter.

Eskimo Pie became Edy’s Pie.

The Dixie Chicks became The Chicks.

Lady Antebellum became Lady A.

Universities and real-estate professionals started replacing “master bedroom” with “primary bedroom.”

Computer programmers began retiring “master/slave” terminology.

Schools, streets, statues and buildings bearing the names of historical figures were renamed by the hundreds.

Then there were the military bases.

Fort Bragg became Fort Liberty.

Fort Hood became Fort Cavazos.

Fort Benning became Fort Moore.

Fort Polk became Fort Johnson.

Fort Lee became Fort Gregg-Adams.

Fort Gordon became Fort Eisenhower.

Fort Rucker became Fort Novosel.

Fort Pickett became Fort Barfoot.

Fort A.P. Hill became Fort Walker.

We even watched Mount McKinley become Denali.

Meanwhile, our vocabulary got its own remodeling job. “Mothers” sometimes became birthing people, “pregnant women” became pregnant people, and “breastfeeding” acquired the alternative chestfeeding in some institutional language.

And Columbus Day? Plenty of cities, states and institutions decided Indigenous Peoples’ Day was preferable.

For years the message was: Names matter. Words matter. Language evolves. Old names can be changed when society decides another name better reflects its values. If you're offended by the change, get over it.

Okay.

Apparently there was an asterisk:

This principle remains valid until Donald Trump names something.

Suddenly the people who spent a decade redecorating the dictionary have chained themselves to the furniture.

Personally, I think Lake America is mostly political theater, and pretty funny political theater at that. Canada is perfectly free to keep calling it Lake Ontario. Nobody is confiscating their maps.

But after watching everything from pancake syrup to Army installations get renamed in the name of cultural sensitivity, I simply cannot work up the appropriate level of outrage over a lake.

So to my friends who are losing sleep over Lake America, I offer the same compassionate advice conservatives received during the Great Renaming:

Language changes. Names evolve. Try to keep up. 😎

“We tolerated Obama for 8 years, and Biden for 4, and kept quiet. Here is my issue with the whole, “let us all be a United States again”...

We remember the women’s march with vagina hats .

We remember the 4 years of attacks and impeachments.

We remember “not our president” and the “Resistance…”

We remember Maxine Walters telling followers to harass us in restaurants.

We remember the Presidents spokesperson being kicked out a restaurant.

We remember hundreds of Trump supporters physically attacked.

We remember Trump supporters getting Doxed, and fired from jobs.

We remember riots, and looting.

We remember “a comedian” holding up the President’s severed head.

We remember a play in Central park paid with public funding, showing the killing of President Trump.

We remember Robert de Niro yelling “F" Trump” at the Tony’s and getting a standing ovation.

We remember Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union Address.

We remember the total in the tank move on the mainstream media.

We remember the non-stop and live fact checking on our President and his supporters.

We remember non-stop in your face lies and open cover-ups from the media.

We remember the President and his staff being spied on.

We remember the Little Sisters of the Poor being mercilessly persecuted for practicing their Catholic Faith.

We remember the Democrat led hate-filled reaction to SCOTUS’ Roe reversal.

We remember five Senators shot on a ballfield.

We remember every so-called comedy show turn into nothing but a Trump hate fest.

We remember 95% negative coverage in the news.

We remember the state governors asking and getting everything they ask for and then blaming Trump for their problems.

We remember people banging on the Supreme Court doors.

We remember that we were called every name in the book for supporting President Trump.

We remember that Hollywood said they would leave after Trump was elected but they stayed.

We remember being called Nazis

We remember being called Deplorables

We remember being called Fascists

We remember biden calling us "garbage" and Kamala (and the media) trying to tell us to "get past it because Biden doesn't matter anymore"

This list is endless, but you get the idea. My friends will be my friends, but a party that has been on the attack for 4 long years does not get a free pass with me.

We have proof you've been lying, You And Your Media Friends. Trying to brainwash and control us by controlling the news we receive...

We also know that when you get back in power your going to do it again....but this time you'll be even worse.

Packing the Courts, Making DC and Puerto Rico states.... Reopen our borders and All to give yourselves Permanent Power To Rule over The People You don't like and can't stand and to make sure you get your way, even though most of America DOESN'T Want YOUR way......

NO I will never give the Democrats a break for all the trouble they’ve caused.

They’ve dug a very very deep hole and it’s going to take a very long time for them to crawl out of it.

This Country and its people Do Not want Socialism or Communism and until you Recognize that .....

No Power For You.”
