@maddenifico Beyond risible - how's the weather in the parallel universe you inhabit.

Imagine thinking that one of the greatest engineers and businessman of our era is wrong about his opinions about government wasting money and being inefficient.

The radical left wing Marxists at "The Economist" never even stopped to consider whether they might be wrong.

@RebelNewsOnline @tonykeller1 Sadly Keller, formerly a sharp and critical thinker, is now (like all of his G&M colleagues) so deep in the trough that he has warped his thinking in order to keep receiving Liberal government handouts.
There is no free (or serious) press in Canada.

@brianstelter Taking out the Dem Media Operative trash, one at a time. Still thousands to go but fortunately, you were nuked eons ago.

[Joseph Gener @generique10]

@TheDemocrats One more Dem media operative down - untold thousands to go.

@cathmckenna Can we declare a moratorium on further inanities from propagandized AWFULs such this dimwit - the damage these clueless virtue signalers have caused the country is incalculable.

@Safety_Canada The neo-Orwellian Public Safety Canada got hammered to oblivion by Community Notes. Needless to say the whole exercise will come to naught as usual, when DJT smacks the Liberal govt. around and demands its cancellation. Pathetic.

The report warns the industrial carbon tax would shrink Alberta's economy by 2%, wiping out 10,000 jobs in the province and 50,000 across Canada.

🚨 92 SECONDS. COPENHAGEN POLICE JUST HUMILIATED PRO-HAMAS TERROR BLOCKADERS — AND THE ENTIRE CONTINENT SHOULD BE TAKING NOTES. ☠️

In the grand tradition of Hobbes’ Leviathan and Max Weber’s monopoly on legitimate violence, the Danish state just reminded the world why civilized order exists.

A mob of pro-Hamas radicals illegally blockaded Maersk HQ in Copenhagen — choking a private company, commerce, and the rule of law itself. In 92 seconds the Copenhagen police — helmets on, K9s unleashed, batons precise — dismantled the entire spectacle.

No endless negotiations. No performative “dialogue.” Just swift, lawful force restoring the peace these ideologues sought to shatter.

This wasn’t “police brutality.” This was a sovereign democracy refusing to surrender its streets to imported chaos and medieval hatred. While much of Europe lectures about “de-escalation” as radicals torch synagogues and blockade ports, Denmark simply enforced the social contract.

Scholarly truth: when the state abdicates its monopoly on force, thugs seize it. Copenhagen chose not to.

📽️The video is pure catharsis for anyone tired of watching civilization kneel. Europe — learn or burn. 👇

@CoryMyres Uninformed, to put it mildly. Have you perchance noted how woke Hollywood (hello "Star Wars") has obliterated itself, notwithstanding such "awareness-enhancing controversies". If confirmed, ixnay on this movie.

@ZacharyDonnini Clueless comment. Kagan deliberately slow-walked this.

@Rightanglenews DEI HARD. The sine qua non for being a Democrat is feeble-mindedness which, in the long run, is a huge help to all their opponents.

@heathergev @NateForOntario It's suddenly racist to state he reaped what he sowed! Agriculture is racist, everything is racist,...-signed an AWFUL

@NateForOntario Sayanora Ms. Cosplay - another empathetic beta male taken to the woodsh*d.

[Joseph Gener @generique10]

@NateForOntario Suicidally empathetic Liberal bites the dust, hoist by his own petard. The Liberals have wrecked the country and the upcoming sovereignty referenda will deliver the coup de grâce. It was always clear these leftists would be the first up against the w*ll. QED.

BOOM!

@TheJusticeDept has settled the federal portion of Berenson v Biden, my lawsuit over the conspiracy to force Twitter to ban me in 2021.

The suit will go ahead against @AlbertBourla and @ScottGottliebMD of Pfizer.

Thank you @realdonaldtrump for standing up for my rights.

Everyone knows about the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae.

Almost nothing they know is the full story.

Start with the number. There weren't 300 Greeks at that pass. There were around 7,000. Spartans, Thespians, Thebans, Phocians, Locrians, Arcadians, Corinthians. Citizen-soldiers from across Greece who marched north knowing they'd be facing the largest army the ancient world had ever assembled.

The 300 is just the headline. The ones who stayed to the end.

Now the men themselves. King Leonidas wasn't some chiseled 30-year-old. He was roughly 60 years old when he led that march. And the 300 he picked weren't his strongest warriors. They were specifically men who already had living sons. Spartan law demanded it. Leonidas wasn't choosing an army. He was choosing men whose bloodlines could survive their deaths. Every one of them knew what that meant before they ever saw a Persian.

They marched anyway.

And they didn't march alone in the way movies suggest. Each Spartan citizen-soldier was accompanied by helots, the enslaved underclass that propped up the entire Spartan economy, outnumbering their masters roughly seven to one. Hundreds of helots fought and died at Thermopylae too. They get no statues. No films. No name on the monument.

The pass itself was barely 15 meters wide in 480 BC (it's silted up now and looks nothing like it did then). That bottleneck is the only reason a few thousand men could hold off a Persian force modern historians estimate at 70,000 to 300,000. Herodotus said 1.7 million. He was lying, or possibly counting cooks, slaves, and camp followers, but even the conservative number is staggering.

For two days, they held. Wave after wave broken against bronze and discipline. Xerxes reportedly leapt from his throne three times in fury watching his men die. He sent in the Immortals, his elite personal guard, supposedly invincible. They weren't. Not in that pass.

Then the Greeks were betrayed.

A local man named Ephialtes, whose name still means "nightmare" in modern Greek, sold the Persians a goat path through the mountains that flanked the pass. The Phocians assigned to guard it scattered when the Immortals appeared in the dawn fog. Leonidas knew by morning he was surrounded.

He dismissed most of the allied Greek forces. Saved their lives. But here's what almost nobody talks about: roughly 700 Thespians, led by a man named Demophilus, refused to leave. They were citizen-farmers from a small town that knew Persia was coming for them next no matter what. They chose to die beside the Spartans rather than run. About 400 Thebans stayed too, though their motives were murkier and many surrendered when the end came.

So the "last stand of the 300" was actually closer to 1,500 men. The Thespians died to the last. Their town was burned to the ground by the Persians weeks later anyway. They're a footnote in a story that should bear their name.

The final fight happened on a small hill called Kolonos. Spears shattered. Swords broken. Herodotus says they fought with hands and teeth at the end. Leonidas fell early, and the Spartans fought four times over his body to keep the Persians from taking it.

They lost.

Xerxes had Leonidas decapitated and his body crucified, a violation of Persian custom so extreme it tells you exactly how badly that old man had humiliated the king of kings. Forty years later, Sparta sent a delegation to recover his bones and bring him home.

Two Spartans survived the battle. One, Aristodemus, had been sent away with an eye infection. He returned to Sparta and was treated as a coward, shunned, refused fire, refused conversation, until he threw himself into the front line at Plataea a year later and died seeking redemption. The other survivor, Pantites, was sent on a diplomatic errand and missed the fight. He hanged himself from the shame.

That's the world they lived in.

The epitaph carved at the site doesn't brag. It doesn't even mention victory, because there wasn't one. Roughly translated, it just asks the traveler to tell Sparta that her sons died here, obedient to her laws.

A small group of farmers, an old king, an enslaved underclass written out of history, and a town that vanished from the map. Together, for three days in August of 480 BC, they did the math on freedom and decided the price was worth it.

We remember 300 of them.

There were always more.
