What do a terrorist attack in Berlin, a Congressional campaign in Washington, and a cruise ship stuck at sea have in common?
They all expose the exact same thing: the Left's alliance with Islamists would never last.
In Berlin, an LGBTQ activist refused to blame the Islamic extremist who ran down a Pride festival with a vehicle, then attacked people with a machete. Instead, she was more angry at "white men with crosses."
In Washington state, a Democratic candidate quietly kept LGBTQ support off her website and then ADMITTED it was because Muslim voters wouldn’t support it. She blamed "bigotry" when people questioned her about it.
And - this is REALLY telling - just this month, a cruise ship of 2,000 LGBTQ travelers was left stranded at sea after being turned away by Turkey AND Egypt. Why? Because their presence was deemed "incompatible" with their countries' values. And those are the moderate Islamist nations! The penalty in the not-so-moderate ones is literal death.
When your entire political movement relies on uniting groups with fundamentally opposing worldviews, lying to your own supporters becomes a requirement. But eventually, reality catches up to your bull crap.
@GadSaad The US needs a SIMPLE definition of religion...
Does not...
- In any way infringe on its members US constitutional rights
- In any way harass, threaten or intimidate those who leave (in the US or abroad)
- Break any US laws
Those would rule out Islam.

@GadSaad We need a definition of religion,
Simple generic, a few suggestions:
A Religion in the US
DOES NOT:
- Curtail any unalienable rights the US Constitution enumerates.
- Shame, threaten, harm, stalk or otherwise harass apostates
IN THE US or abroad
- Break US law
Victor Davis Hanson REACTS: Dr. Fauci’s Testimony Before Congress Was A National Disgrace
Today, Fauci disgraced himself, the country, and the millions of Americans who suffered through his COVID-19 lockdowns. Despite invoking the Fifth Amendment over 100 times, Fauci’s silence on his handling of the pandemic speaks volumes.
The committee will soon vote on whether to hold Fauci in contempt.
@VDHanson
@Frost_RyanW@BrandiKruse@grok can you outline the WA state timber trust set aside for educating WA children, and how the environmental factions in WA state politics stall the logging & funds from it.
@jordanbpeterson It's beyond conquest. It's sterilization Young women of the victim population, so damaged physically & psychologically, that they likely step back from healthy relationships. Leaving a generation of young men in the victim population without partners & families, angry tinder.
Why are Jews and Christians, both of whom worship the God of Abraham, classified as kuffar, infidels, in Islam?
Theologically, this makes no sense.
Jews affirm the oneness of God, reject idolatry, and follow a divine moral code.
So why are they damned in the Qur’an? Why are they cursed in the hadiths? Why are they to be fought, humiliated, and subdued?
Because they rejected Muhammad. Not because they worshipped a false god, but because they refused to recognize Muhammad.
This reveals the heart of Islam: Islam is not about worshipping Allah, it is about allegiance to Muhammad.
Muhammad is not merely the messenger. He is the message.
Islam claims to be a monotheistic religion centered on submission to one transcendent deity. But in practice, the deity is transcendent, terrifying, and unknowable.
Muhammad is the functional center of Islam’s religious universe.
Rejecting Allah is almost abstract. But rejecting Muhammad is what actually makes someone an enemy, a target, an apostate, or an infidel.
His person becomes the dividing line between salvation and damnation.
This is why Muslims believe even the most devout Jew or morally upright Christian is destined for hell.
Because in Islam, moral clarity, monotheism, or good works, none of it counts unless you submit to Muhammad.
His name must be on your lips. His example must be your law. His honor must be defended with your blood.
The shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith, exposes this.
It doesn’t just say “There is no god but Allah.” That would be purely monotheistic. It must include: “and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
Without that second part, you’re not a Muslim.
No biblical prophet ever demanded this.
Moses never said, “Believe in me or be damned.” Isaiah never taught that rejecting him personally would lead to eternal fire. John the Baptist pointed away from himself. Even Jesus said, “I do not seek my own glory.”
But Muhammad inserts himself at the center of cosmic judgment.
In that way, Islam is not just submission to God, it is submission to a man.
@liz_churchill10@grok where are the largest Amish communities in NY state, and are there any efforts in those areas to purchase land for data centers?
Asking for a friend.
Here is what the left expected to happen during the World Cup: Europeans were supposed to smirk at us. They were supposed to mock our religion and our guns. They were supposed to turn away in righteous disgust at our abundance and free refills and buffet lines and big trucks and big houses. They were supposed to shake their heads at our supposed lack of culture. They were supposed to see a racist behind every tree and under every rock. They were supposed to catch a glimpse of discord and poverty and hate and perpetual ignorance. And they were supposed to leave here hating this country even more so than when they arrived.
But they didn’t.
They fell in love with us. And by “us,” I mean the real, everyday America. They didn’t go to the Met Gala; they went to Walmart. They didn’t dine at the French Laundry; they ate at Waffle House. They didn’t scoff at bigger portions; they consumed them with glee. They weren’t impressed by Priuses; they were impressed by Ford F-150s. They didn’t sniffily order some 25-syllabled cup of pretention from the local fair trade cafe; they drank American beer, listened to American country music, and ate American bar food. They don’t marvel at inner-city legal drug zones; they marvel at the wide open expanses of American beauty.
They love ranch dressing. They love the military flyovers. They love the gas stations. They love the 24/7 business hours. They love the huge American flags.
In short, everything our visitors love about America is everything the left hates about America. The leftists watch this in paralyzing horror. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Foreigners were supposed to return to their homelands and report that America is exactly what Barack Obama, Michael Moore, and Sasha Baron Cohen told them it was.
But that’s not going to happen now. Because our foreign guests realize that everything their "elites" told them about us has been a disgusting lie. Just like everything our "elites" tell us about ourselves is a disgusting lie.
But the most important lesson I hope the Europeans take home with them is this. Patriotism is a moral virtue. It’s good to be proud of your country. And despite what the government, the public schools, the universities, Hollywood, social media, the elite globalists, and both the domestic and foreign media tell us, Americans are proud of their country. And if visiting Europeans can see through the lie they’ve been sold about America, I hope they can see the lie they’ve been told about themselves.

@JamesOKeefeIII Finders Fee, great idea!
Maybe even let Congress people have a VERY small portion of fraud they discover allocated to their campaign fund.
I am watching the Argentina vs. Switzerland match, and an idea just occurred to me that perfectly illustrates how ridiculous the communist utopia is.
There are only 70,000 seats in the stadium. Some seats are better than others.
Someone will sit on the fifty-yard line, someone else behind a concrete pillar. Someone will be close enough to hear the players talk, while another person will watch through binoculars.
How do you decide who gets what?
In a market economy, the people who value those seats the most pay for them. It may not produce equal outcomes, but it provides a clear and voluntary mechanism for allocating scarcity.
An egalitarian system has a much harder problem.
If everyone is equal, why should one person sit in the front row while another sits in the upper deck?
Should everyone enter a lottery? If so, should the winner be allowed to win again?
Should families be treated differently from individuals? Should people who contribute more to society receive priority?
If they do, equality has already disappeared. If they don’t, incentives begin to disappear.
Scarcity creates hierarchy.
The same problem appears everywhere.
There are only so many beachfront homes. Only so many tables by the window in a restaurant. Only so many appointments with the best surgeon. Only so many parking spaces close to the entrance. Only so many tickets to a sold-out concert. Only so many places at the country’s best universities.
Every society must answer the same question: who gets the scarce resource?
Markets answer through voluntary exchange. Bureaucracies answer through rules. Political systems answer through power. Lotteries answer through chance.
Egalitarian utopias constantly collide with reality.
Human beings differ in talent, effort, preferences, luck, ambition, and the value they place on particular goods.
Scarcity ensures that not everyone can have everything they want.
The irony is that societies built in the name of equality rarely eliminate hierarchy. They merely change who sits in the front row. Instead of customers choosing with their own money, officials choose through political influence, connections, or administrative power. The privileged class does not disappear; it simply changes its name.
The front row always exists. The only question is who decides who gets to sit there.
Now apply to US Senators as well.
ZERO city, county, state or HOA elected representatives have any reason meeting with any foreign government officials.
The State Department should be involved in any such meeting if there is ever a reason.
🚨 The U.S. State Department SHUT DOWN a Planned Meeting Between Iran and Communist NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Administration.
Ana María Archila, a senior Mamdani official, was set to meet with Iranian representatives at the U.N. on Tuesday
When the Trump Administration found out, the State Department stepped in and CANCELED the meeting.
Mamdani can’t be allowed to undermine U.S. foreign policy.
The ruminant family, and the one job each member does that nothing else can:
Cattle: turn a wet hillside into milk and beef, and build the soil while they stand on it
Sheep: grow a fireproof, compostable fibre every year on grass and rain
Goats: eat the scrub, bramble and invasive weed that chokes everything else out
Water buffalo: make the milk that becomes real mozzarella, on marshland a cow would sink in
Yak: live and give milk at altitudes that would kill any lowland animal
Reindeer: feed and clothe whole peoples above the Arctic Circle, on lichen and moss
Bison: engineer an entire prairie ecosystem simply by grazing across it
Seven animals, one gift each, none of them replaceable by a machine or a crop.
Every one of them classed, this decade, as a liability.
