@ChristianHeiens As we have seen the teachers union, school boards, teachers themselves, have turned the education system against boys and infecting (yes infecting)young girls through manipulation drugs for ADD and all the others to keep the boys passive and the girls glorified for believing.

@CynicalPublius Love it!

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@FreddyLA7 U traveled to big places and small places last time, and it was perfect. Sure go to the big games they are a a lot of fun, but when ur driving enjoy the small just like last time. I am not a fan of Cali, I can say that it is pretty. Wyoming is magical!

@Grey_0G Breath in, hold for the count of three and release.Though we are not around you to assist, and from what I have read there are many who would jump to assist you, but it’s hard when you don’t really know them, and why u feel victimized by those close. I am so sorry. Hugs hun.❤️

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@CynicalPublius Just so sick!

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@CynicalPublius I think many of the people that are pushing a “don’t vote for the Rino, because they suck” are mostly leftists trying to make sure we don’t show up to vote. It’s also what they do with the polls to show Rino’s losing by large amounts so people don’t go, dangerous times my friend

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@ScottPresler No it really should be a state thing, but a law that will be able to charge if abuses occur? I can support that.

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@Grey_0G You will be missed, but we understand. Hope this gives you the time to heal that you need. We are happy to wait until then.

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@SenBillCassidy It is the parents choice not urs. They can still get the drug cocktails u obviously financially benefit from. So that begs the question “why do u priest so much ?” We have lost faith with u and the medical community.

A German soldier stopped at the front of the line. He stared at the old man leading the children.
He knew that face.
The man was Janusz Korczak. The soldier had grown up reading his books.
The guard leaned in and offered him a way out. Step aside. Disappear. Live.
Korczak shook his head. He took the hands of the two children beside him. And he kept walking toward the train.
That was the last offer. There had been many.
Here's who he was.
Janusz Korczak wasn't even his real name. He was born Henryk Goldszmit. A Polish Jew. A doctor.
By the 1930s he was famous across Poland. A pediatrician. A writer of beloved children's books. A radio host. Everyone knew his voice.
He could have had an easy life.
Instead he gave it to orphans.
In 1912, he built a home for Jewish orphans in Warsaw. Dom Sierot. The Children's Home.
It was unlike anything in the world.
The children ran their own little parliament. They had their own court. Their own newspaper. They were treated as people, not problems.
Korczak had one rule above all. A child is not someone who will matter one day. A child matters now.
He lived among them for 30 years. He never married. He had no children of his own.
They were his children.
Then the Germans came.
1940. The Nazis sealed 400,000 Jews inside the Warsaw Ghetto. A few city blocks. Walls. Starvation. Disease.
Korczak moved his orphanage inside. He moved in with it.
His friends begged him to run. He was famous. He looked Polish. He could pass. He could vanish onto the other side of the wall.
He refused.
Inside the ghetto, he fought for the children every single day.
He begged for food in the streets. He carried sacks of potatoes on his old back. He wrote in his diary by candlelight, tracking how much weight each child was losing.
He was starving too. Under 800 calories a day. His body was failing.
He kept going.
In July 1942, he staged one last play with the children. A story about a dying boy who is finally set free.
A friend asked why that play. Korczak answered quietly. He wanted to teach the children to meet death without fear.
He already knew what was coming.
On July 22, the trains began.
Day after day, thousands were marched to the Umschlagplatz. Packed into cattle cars. Sent to Treblinka. None came back.
The resistance came to him one more time. Fake documents. A safe house. A way out.
He said no. He would not leave the children to face it alone.
On the morning of August 5, the soldiers came to the door.
Korczak did not panic. He gathered the children. He told them they were going to the countryside. Fresh air. Open fields.
He had them put on their best clothes. Each child carried a small bag. A favorite book. A beloved doll.
Then 192 children and a handful of staff walked out into the street.
Witnesses never forgot it.
The children did not cry. They did not run. They walked in calm rows behind the old doctor, as if they were heading off on a trip.
Korczak walked at the front. A child holding each hand. The smallest ones carried in his arms.
They marched through the ghetto to the train. Three miles. He never let go.
At the platform, the offer came one final time. And one final time, he refused.
He climbed into the cattle car with his children.
He was never seen again.
Korczak, the staff, and all 192 children were almost certainly murdered the moment they reached Treblinka.
Here's what makes this story unbearable.
He could not save them. He knew it. There was no version of that morning where those children lived.
So he saved the only thing left to save.
He made sure not one of them walked to their death alone. Not one of them was afraid. Not one of them was abandoned.
In the worst place human beings ever built, he gave them the one thing the Nazis could not take. A hand to hold.
Today, Treblinka is a field of stones. 17,000 of them. A silent graveyard for nearly a million murdered people.
Only one stone carries a name.
It reads: Janusz Korczak, and the children.
He had no children of his own. He died beside 192 of them.
So that not a single one would face the end alone.
He couldn't save their lives. He made sure they weren't alone. The least we can do is remember them. Share this so 192 children are never forgotten again. Like if his courage reached something in you. And in the comments, say his name — Janusz Korczak

@ScottPresler @4familyfreedom4 What is interesting to me, is it’s not just a repub issue! It’s the regular everyday Democrat (I usually say demonrat, but not about the voters. Just the politicians) that want this as well es independents. This is an easy vote if Americans were able to make the decisions .

[MOMof DataRepublican @data_republican]

Any guesses as to who will gavel in the Senate pro forma session tomorrow, Monday, August 10?

I think that would be a really dumb thing to do. We're keeping score.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

So much of American political discourse these days consists purely of the logical error of a false dichotomy.

The "post-liberal," "common good conservatism" crowd seems particularly prone to this.

They present an illusory, binary choice:

1. A society in which a large, powerful central government virtuously imposes Christianity on the masses at the reasonable cost of a diminution of personal liberty.

-or-

2. Personal liberty is held paramount and as a result the society is overrun by illegal immigrants, rabid jihadists, capitalistic excess and a complete abdication of traditional morality.

Those are NOT the only two choices.

One of many other choices is to reduce the size, scope and power of the federal government to its original Constitutional limits, deport all of the illegal aliens, end the guaranteed student loan and home mortgage scams, cease DEI policies that create the immorality that plagues society, end social welfare programs that destroy the family, cease importing jihadists and enforce personal liberty as the paramount goal of government (as the Founders intended).

And "personal liberty" is not unlimited. When one person's actions trample on the personal liberty of another, that is not allowable liberty. Liberty itself is a social compact. For example, allowing minarets to be built in an American town where the call to Muslim prayer drowns out the lives of non-Muslims is not "religious freedom." It's not "liberty." It's tyranny. Same with forcing stores to sell Halal.

So, yes, it's possible to preserve liberty while at the same time undoing the errors of the past thirty years that have made young people feel like debt slaves by implementing the measures I mention above (deportation, ending the loan scams, cease importing and stop accommodating jihadists, etc.).

"Common good conservatives" think they must seize the levers of power to achieve this, rather than eliminating or reducing the existence of those unconstitutional levers of power.

Well intentioned tyrannical government is still tyranny.

@CynicalPublius Love love looove this! So well said, so true.

[Mrs B @attackdogX]

Look Gen Z, we hear you. There is an affordability crisis in America.

Everything is too expensive. People can barely live.

But, when we tell you the way to fix it is: mass deportations, you don’t wanna hear it.

I’m not gonna be a jerk & tell you to “just eat ramen”.

I’m gonna not gonna comfort you with a lie & blame billionaires either.

I’m gonna give you the truth:

ALL illegals must go, ALL benefits for illegals must end. Visa abuse must end.

Remittances must end.

Reel in the Nanny state, stop the fraud, waste, & abuse & again:

Mass deportations!

Stop fighting us on these things, stop voting against your own best interests & then whining that you can’t afford rent or food.

Rent is way too high because we have tens of millions of illegals in the country that require housing.

It’s supply & demand.

We know how to fix it, you just have to be on board with it.

Voting for socialism is not the answer. It never has been.

Don’t be an idiot

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@StaunchDemocrap @CynicalPublius It comes back to this, and why we may become a communist nation. 'If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative When Old, You Have No Brain'

[notimportant @highwaytohell59]

@CletaMitchell @stahawg @BasedMikeLee @JonHusted Yeah well they better wake up and do what must be done with the filibuster- get rid of the zombie filibuster and pass trumps executive orders through, get rid of the silly parliamentarian, and get things done. Without that they will be primary the American people are sick of it.

[Cleta Mitchell @CletaMitchell]

Let’s all be very clear about what happened on the Senate floor overnight. The Senate voted 52-48 in favor of a VOTER ID bill

But the bill still isn’t passed.

-@BasedMikeLee and @JonHusted offered a
STAND ALONE bill to require VOTER ID for federal elections.

EVERY @SenateGOP voted YES!

100% yes from Senate Republicans

And EVERY @SenateDems voted NO. That’s right.

100% no from Senate Democrats.

It is easy to beat up on the Senate GOP leadership. I’ve done my share because @LeaderJohnThune is not a strong leader IMHO

But let’s face the facts and the numbers:

There are 53 Senate Republicans and @senmitchmcConn is out due to illness.

Total 52 GOP Senators

A majority, right?

Why do we need 60 votes to pass SAVE America Act?

We cannot pass the SAVE America Act through the Senate because not ONE Democrat will vote yes. Not one.

Not only that but not a single Democrat will vote in favor of allowing SAVE America Act to be considered for final passage on the bill. And the only way to overcome the Democrats’ refusal to allow SAVE America Act to proceed to a vote is if there are 60 votes to allow it.

There are only 52 Republicans. No Democrats will vote to allow the vote.

Read that again:

@SenateDems won’t agree to allow a vote.

@SenateDems know the bill would PASS with a simple majority. There are enough Republican votes to pass #SAVEAmericaAct but not enough Republicans to overcome the unanimous blocking of the bill.

@SenateDems are blocking the SAVE America Act and have been since February.

So let’s finally lay the blame where it rightly belongs:

@SenateDems are lockstep in OPPOSING:

-proof of citizenship to register to vote
- voter ID to cast a vote
- cleaning voter rolls.

It is why we MUST defeat these Senate Democrats this fall.

We need to be rid of these creeps.

No SAVE America Act =
NO Democrats for US Senate. Anywhere. Everywhere.

Remember this next time you feel like saying something nice about @JohnFetterman - he joined the rest of @SenateDems and voted NO.

Remember the next time you want to beat up on @LeaderJohnThune: he needs 60 votes to pass SAVE America because the Democrats are united in blocking a vote to allow the bill to pass by simple majority.

It is on them. Why are they opposed?

Because the Democrats are cheaters. They are socialists who hate our country. Of course they don’t support anything that restores integrity to the elections. They’re the ones who BROKE our election systems in the first place.

Democrats. Are. Cheaters.

They WANT corrupt elections. Like they have in NYC, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia…and on and on.

But if the Democrats think we are going away, they would be wrong. Very wrong. We are not going anywhere. Join the fight for election integrity and against the corrupt Democrats

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On August 6, 2011, the deadliest day of the entire war in Afghanistan happened in about five seconds. Almost nobody remembers the name.

That night a small element of Army Rangers was on the ground in the Tangi Valley of Wardak Province, hunting a Taliban leader named Qari Tahir. They ran into a heavy firefight and called for backup. The quick reaction force sent to reinforce them was an aging CH-47D Chinook flown by Army Reserve and National Guard aircrews. Its call sign that night was Extortion 17.

As the helicopter came in toward the landing zone, a Taliban fighter was waiting in a two story mud building roughly 220 meters away. He fired two or three rocket-propelled grenades. The second round clipped one of the aft rotor blades at somewhere around 100 to 150 feet in the air. The rotor assembly tore itself apart, the airframe lost all lift, and the Chinook dropped almost straight down and burst into flames. From the first hit to impact was about five seconds. Everyone aboard died. There were no survivors.

Thirty eight men were killed. Thirty were American. Of those Americans, 17 were Navy SEALs, most of them from the Gold Squadron of Naval Special Warfare Development Group, better known as SEAL Team Six, the same secretive unit that had killed Osama bin Laden only three months before. They were not the same individual men who were on the bin Laden raid, but they came from the same command, and that overlap is where a lot of the online conspiracy theories were born.

Alongside the SEALs were 2 Air Force pararescuemen and an Air Force combat controller from the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, the five man Chinook aircrew, 7 Afghan commandos, and an Afghan interpreter. There was also a military working dog named Bart, a Belgian Malinois, whose handler Petty Officer John Douangdara died right beside him.

The aftermath was its own kind of cruelty. A flash flood tore through the valley that same afternoon and washed away part of the wreckage before recovery crews could secure it. The flight data recorder was never recovered because of that flood. Even so, investigators pieced together who fired the shot and who set the ambush, and an F-16 killed both men two days later.

The loss set off hard questions that are still argued about today. Why were so many of the nation's most elite operators packed onto a single conventional helicopter. Why was there no gunship or attack aviation prep of the landing zone before they flew in. Families pushed for answers, there were congressional hearings, and to this day some of them believe they never got the full story.

But the piece that stuck with people had nothing to do with tactics. At the funeral of SEAL Jon Tumilson in the small town of Rockford, Iowa, his Labrador retriever Hawkeye walked up to the front of the room, lay down beside the flag draped casket, and refused to move through the entire service. That photograph went around the world.

Thirty eight lives gone in an instant. It remains the greatest single loss of life in the history of American special operations and the worst day SEAL Team Six has ever known. Fifteen years later most people have still never heard of it.

Extortion 17. Say the name, and remember theirs.
