They took memory cards from us and made us pay for storage. They took CDs and DVDs and made us pay for streaming. They took software you could buy once and turned it into a monthly subscription. They took ownership, convenience, and basically everything that used to be a one-time purchase… then somehow made us pay for it every month.
Regardless of your opinion on Operation Epic Fury or your political affiliation, we have the greatest military in the world. Its strength lies not just in power, but in the courage, discipline, and sacrifice of our troops. God bless our men and women in uniform.
It’s amazing to consider that four populated continents border the Atlantic Ocean but for centuries none of them, except Europe, produced a single person who managed to navigate it from one side to another. In fact there is no evidence that any tribe anywhere in the Americas ever even thought to cross it. There was one possible reported expedition from west Africa going the other way but all of the ships were lost, if they were ever actually sent at all. Outside of that, as far as we know, no Africans ever tried to cross it either. Certainly none ever succeeded.
Europeans alone had the vision, the courage, the skill, and the ingenuity to pull it off. They not only traversed the unknown sea, but built empires that stretched across it. They don’t want you to learn much about the true history of western civilization because if you do you will learn how incredibly exceptional it is, and has always been.
I am horrified. I cannot believe it.
I analyzed public databases and media reporting on violent confrontations with ICE over the past year.
Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America.
This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED.
A violent confrontation in these 9 counties was 590 TIMES more likely than any of these other 3,134 counties.
590 times.
I plotted these 9 counties, and I found that all 9 counties are sanctuary jurisdictions run by Democrat politicians that resist immigration law enforcement.
These violent confrontations are RARE in states and cities where local officials cooperate with law enforcement.
If a police officer pulls me over, and I don’t like the charges, I can have my day in court.
If I get out of my car, stick my phone in his face and cuss him out, I’ll get additional charges and probably arrested.
If I get out of my car and get in a fist fight with him, I deserve to get my ass beat.
If I choose to get in a fist fight with him and have a gun on me, I deserve to get shot if they feel threatened making split second decisions.
All this can be avoided if I simply accept, and respect, the officer’s authority a remain a law abiding citizen.
The fact this is a wild take in America today is laughable.
