Obamacare was literally written to threaten to cut off funding for states that wouldn't vote for Obama's policies. There were multiple Supreme Court cases on this! That was the organizing principle of the stimulus, too. That's before we even get into suing nuns or running guns to Mexican cartels.
These arguments are exhausting. It always “for the kids” or “for the greater good” that authoritarians think they have a right to impose their will on others.
Republicans have a million ideas regarding health care. Except one.
They will never acknowledge that health care is a human right — to be guaranteed to ALL.
Are you KIDDING ME?
Why is every legacy media outlet calling Mahmoud Al-Muhtadi -- who was born in Gaza, lived there all his life, participated in the October 7 terror attacks, and illegally immigrated to the USA just 1 YEAR AGO after lying about his background -- a "Louisiana man"?
The man behind the digital ID push is Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, soon, TikTok. He wants data centralization and total surveillance. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching & recording everything that's going on." Terrifying.
Here's how this will play out, here's the meta-script, and please don't laugh it off.
How this all started is not how it will end. A story that began with a clear traditional moral shape, an innocent victim, a vile perpetrator, will be transformed using secondary characters, new revelations, and other dramatic elements into its very opposite -- a story of forbidden love, persecution by religious bigots, a poignantly rebellious heartfelt protest against a World that Doesn't Understand.
There will then be a total split, far deeper than mere "politics," between the segments of the public that were captivated by two incommensurate tragedies.
For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

A lot of people are asking “What do we do now?” which is a great question.
The answer will by necessity vary from person to person, but one thing anyone can start to do is understand the nature of what we are fighting.
One example is Saul Alinsky's “Rules for Radicals” which he actually dedicated to Lucifer (not kidding), It’s essentially the left-wing guide to agitation and in it he discusses how “the Left's action is our reaction.”
It means that they act in such a way as to elicit a reaction which they can then condemn. Basically they bait us.
The problem is…
When you take this tactic too far, people completely stop caring about how they are perceived.
The left is appealing to rules they so clearly have no regard for, that they are no longer taken seriously.
This is where things can get legitimately dangerous.
The key is to stop caring about what they say, without being truly guilty of what they claim.
So you don't return evil with evil…but you call evil out for what it is. You use every moral and legitimate means to combat it, instead of trying to compromise with it.
While everyone was focused on Charlie Kirk’s assassination this Democrat judge in North Carolina ordered Iryna Zarutka’s murderer Decarlos Brown to be released from prison.
They are trying to make sure he doesn’t even go to trial and is set free.
Let me explain this to the leftists suddenly deeply concerned about cancel culture.
Digging up decade old tweets of jokes or hacking a political donation to get someone fired is cancel culture.
People getting fired for currently, openly cheering murder is not cancel culture.
That's my experience as well. Every one of my Democratic friends is in a state of shock and dismay. The dominant response across the political spectrum is the same. We can't let the worst voices define how we respond to this moment. They are the fringe. Treat them like it.
REPORTER: How do you want your supporters to respond to Charlie Kirk's death?
TRUMP: "He was an advocate of nonviolence. That's the way I'd like to see people respond."
