everyone spent ten years learning to code and it turns out the terminal skill was english composition. the machine will do anything you tell it. the only thing left between you and what you want is whether you can form a clear thought and put it into words
Kamala Harris: “Requiring proof of citizenship to vote is too burdensome.”
Wesley Hunt: “My 3-year-old has a birth certificate.”
“So do my 5-year-old and my 7-year-old.”
The Jim Crow comparisons are tired. The poll tax is gone.
Jim Crow is gone.
Proving you’re an American citizen before voting in an American election is not oppression.
It’s common sense.
🚨UNBELIEVABLE: 18-year-old mother Sarah McKinley made a split-second decision to defend her 3-month-old infant when an intruder armed with a 12-inch hunting knife tried breaking into her home on New Year's Eve.
Just one week after losing her husband to cancer, Sarah was home alone with her baby in Blanchard, Oklahoma, when two men began aggressively trying to smash through her doors. Panicked, she barricaded the door with a couch, grabbed a shotgun, and called 911. In audio that quickly went viral across the nation, Sarah asked the operator: "I've got two guns in my hand, is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?"
The dispatcher responded: "You do what you have to do to protect your baby." The moment the intruder kicked through the door with the knife raised, Sarah fired, stopping the threat instantly. Prosecutors later ruled her actions completely justified under home defense laws.
A mother's instinct and the fundamental right to protect your family in your own home.
Do legacy media outlets typically use headlines involving the make of a car in a crash or is that only for Tesla?
It would be one thing if the self-driving malfunctioned but the crash was purely human-induced.
Seems like these outlets want to associate Tesla with crashes as part of a narrative and overall political agenda.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
