@DanielBordmanOG @Ayei_Eloheichem All that’s missing is “experts say”.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@Fynnderella1 @DC_Draino What are you disagreeing with?

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@PhillyInquirer We hope so!

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@1oldcurmudgeon @physicsgeek @AlexBerenson @nytimes True. They don’t care about their reputation or integrity.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@physicsgeek @AlexBerenson @nytimes Exactly. They simply don’t care.

[Brent Scher @BrentScher]

This is, by the way, a major embarrassment for the @nytimes.

Racicot already talked to them, and was so disappointed that she went to @politico and @CNN. Because the NYT made Lyndsey and her politics the story instead of Platner, and let his comms team shape the whole thing.

@GovTimWalz No. He is attacking the adults who think it’s OK to restrict what women and girls wear.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@actingliketommy Then you certainly don’t need higher taxes ….

@AriDrennen You’re a horse’s ass.

Riley isn’t fighting for 5th place. She’s fighting for all the girls who lose a spot on a team, or a starting spot, or scholarship, or (yes) even a medal.

Let alone girls who don’t want guys in their locker room.

Tired, lazy, anti woman talking point.

@mrmikeMTL I don’t think I could afford to pay that much.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@ZellSkells @IfindRetards You misunderstood.

Levine pulled her/his Mom out. Then shoved Covid positive patients into care homes putting everyone else’s elderly parents at risk.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@USATODAY You know who else had a simple wish to play? Real girls, who don’t have the biological advantages of being born male.

Your child would be taking a roster spot, starting spot, medal, scholarship, etc from a girl due to an unfair advantage.

@CynicalPublius I was just there too. When discussing their social programs, our guide made it very clear it was also their ethos that you work if you can. “State will take care of you if you work”.

Reinforced from birth. Cuz in that harsh climate, if you’re lazy, you die.

Huge differentiator.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@ZellSkells @IfindRetards Levine was disgustingly corrupt too.

Moved 92yo Mom out of a care home and into the Hershey Hotel a week before implementing the politically fueled (and dangerous) order that Covid positive patients must be accepted back into homes.

Move Mom to safety … screw the others.

@PhilaFreedomGuy The Inquirer’s love for Josh Shapiro still pales in comparison to Josh’s love of Josh Shapiro.

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@nut_history Which guy is Juan Soto?

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@AlexiLalas Kirk Herbstreit would be proud!

[john semmer @jfsemmer]

@globeandmail Completely false.

It allows states to ban boys who have declared themselves to be girls from playing in girls sports.

They can play against the boys all they want.

Bill Maher told JD Vance that the right has to stop claiming that an election (2020) was illegitimate because they lost.

Here’s Bill Maher’s show the day after Trump’s inauguration in 2017. They claimed Trump didn’t legitimately win.

America’s ruling class has performed another miracle.

They took the most basic truths in human civilization ... crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted by professional parasites ... and somehow rebranded all of that as “extremism.”

Incredible work, really.

Apparently, a “compassionate” society is one where the violent repeat offender gets another chance, the victim gets a candlelight vigil, the taxpayer gets the bill, the schoolkid gets passed along illiterate, the fraudster gets a grant, the NGO gets another contract, the illegal alien gets services, and the working American gets told to shut up and be more inclusive.

What a beautiful system.

Soft justice did not stay in the courtroom. It metastasized. It became soft borders, soft schools, soft parenting, soft welfare, soft standards, soft men, and soft bureaucrats explaining why every obvious solution is “too harsh.”

Lock up predators? Cruel.
Deport illegals? Hateful.
End generational welfare? Lacking empathy.
Punish fraud? Complicated.
Restore merit? Problematic.
Teach kids to read? Probably colonialism by Tuesday.

A serious country protects the innocent from the guilty. A decaying country protects the guilty from consequences and makes the innocent finance the experiment.

That’s America’s real crisis.

Not poverty. Not “root causes.” Not another fake expert panel.

Consequences.

We stopped imposing them on the people destroying the country, so now the country imposes them on everyone else.
