🚨Oh, look at that—America's "watchdogs of democracy" didn't just fail the vibe check at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night. They straight-up looted the joint like it was the apocalypse, and the only thing worth saving was the open bar.

While shots rang out, the President was being yanked offstage by Secret Service, and the entire ballroom was one trigger-pull away from turning into a national nightmare, what were these tuxedoed truth-tellers doing? Filing urgent dispatches? Checking on colleagues? Showing one ounce of basic human concern? Nah.

They were playing human Roomba on the tabletops—grabbing bottles of wine and champagne two at a time, stuffing them into camera bags, under jackets, down blouses, whatever fit. One blonde in a black jacket looked like she was training for the Olympic wine-heist relay. Another kept casually nibbling her dinner like it was just another Tuesday, and the gunfire was ambient noise. Bro, the President almost got assassinated. and your priority was playing "how many free Cabernets can I smuggle out before security notices?"

These are the same smug, pearl-clutching hacks who spend every waking hour lecturing the rest of us about "civility," "empathy," "moral leadership," and how we're the ones destroying the country. The ones who cry "threat to democracy" if you question their narrative. The ones who virtue-signal about compassion while calling half the country garbage.

Turns out their moral compass doesn't point north—it points straight to the nearest unopened bottle of Dom.

Congratulations, media. You didn't just expose your hypocrisy; you speed-ran it on camera. While the nation held its breath wondering if the President was okay, you proved you're not elite journalists. You're not even good looters. You're the people who show up to a black-tie event, watch bullets fly, and think, "Perfect—now's my chance for a free case of bubbly."

At least actual looters wait for the power to go out. You did it with the lights on, in formalwear, live on X.

Classy. Real classy.

Now go write your 3,000-word think piece about how this was actually Trump's fault for making the wine too tempting. We'll wait. With our own bottles. That we paid for.

Currently 25 players have over a .900 OPS, 2 are on the Phils, and 1 is “not elite”. Fire Dombroski.

[David Esser @DavidEsser_]

The Phillies looking like the worst team in baseball (while Harper has a .900 ops) makes Dombrowski's offseason comments about him look that much more insane.

[Philly Sports Sufferer @mccrystal_alex]

Flyers coming back to Philadelphia with a 2-0 series lead

Sixers coming back with a tied up series and a potential Embiid return

Life is good with playoff sports in my city

(Do not mention the baseball team)

[The Good Phight @TheGoodPhight]

Schwarber and Harper gotta be fuming on the daily

.917 & .900 ops respectively

We Will Not Be Replaced

It is quite insane, really. The entire world now arrays itself against the United States the moment we remember we have a right to self-determination. Borders. Continuity. The simple demand that this nation remain ours.

I have never witnessed anything like recent events. The Catholic Church hierarchy and the mullahs of Iran suddenly chanting the same refrain. The UN. The Pope. Most Western governments. All reciting the identical globalist Marxist filth in a propaganda symphony that would make Goebbels himself stand in silent awe.

The message is not subtle. It's delivered with the cold precision of those who actually run the world:

>You will be persecuted if you want a country with borders.
>You will be smeared if you refuse infinity migrants who rape and don't assimilate.
>You will be damned if you reject sharing the earth with terrorist regimes.
>You will be hunted if you deny the ruling class its “Epstein” privileges over your daughters.

Submit. Dissolve. Perish quietly. You will never be thanked for it. Only chastised until you sheepishly die.

But we see you. Every last one of you. The globalist chorus that suddenly finds common cause with our enemies. You are not hiding. You're telling us exactly who you are, and we believe every damn word.

This isn't holy compassion you peddle. This is the deliberate weakening of the West so that it can be replaced. Our lands overrun. Our women violated. Our children’s future auctioned off while we are lectured about “welcoming the stranger.”

Where was this moral thunder when it matter most in recent years? Nowhere. Because the goal was never mercy. The goal was erosion.

America doesn't ask permission to exist as itself. We don't negotiate our survival. And we certainly don't apologize for refusing to roll over and die.

WE are the ones who underwrote the peace you enjoyed. WE are the ones who carried the bill for your delusions of borderless utopia. The invoice is now due, and this latest outburst is proof you feel the weight of it in your bones.

A sovereign people does not debate its own replacement. It secures its right to remain.

Pressure will come dressed as virtue. It always does. Shame, sermons, sanctions. Tired old tools with new voices. They mistake restraint for weakness. They always do.

America is not sustained by your worthless approval. It is sustained by will. It's sustained by steel laid down long before the argument, by ships already at sea, by a people who have paid in blood for the simple right to decide their own future. That memory does not fade. It simply hardens.

We are NOT asking permission. Nor are we seeking consensus. We are setting terms. We will not thin out. We will not be dissolved. We will not be replaced. We remain.

And all you can do is shriek at a country that has heard it all before. But the world runs on something older than your arguments.

If you want us to die, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way.

From Martin Iles, reposted:

Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something.

The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned.

We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are.

Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard.

Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt.

For these and other reasons, we are not the same.

Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival.

If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast.

So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily?

Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily.

The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline.

Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60.

Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number.

Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556.

The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000.
The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined.

The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day.

"Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs.

How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be.

Militarily, we don't offer squat.

Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims.

Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China.

Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words.

Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves.

And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it.

And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors.

So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it.

And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all.

Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time.

And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

America, please don’t listen to the new narrative that we wasted so much equipment to save one life.

There’s a reason recruiting is through the roof.

And it’s because we don’t leave your sons and daughters behind enemy lines because it’s financially convenient.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed.

That ends today.

[heretical lakeloon @loonlake55]

Let me get this straight. There's SNAP fraud, EBT fraud, Medicaid and Medicare fraud, home healthcare fraud, daycare fraud, medical transportation fraud, and hospice fraud, but definitely, absolutely no election fraud?
