Islamic aggression doesn't come from America's foreign policy. It comes from theology.

Aesop knew the danger of the Liberal mind thousands of years ago:

THE FARMER AND THE VIPER

Aesop was a sixth-century BC Greek fabulist and former slave who navigated the unforgiving power structures of the ancient Mediterranean through cold observation of human nature. Having witnessed raw survival and hierarchy firsthand, he understood that utopian sentimentality divorced from biological reality guarantees disaster. Aesop knew thousands of years ago that projecting unearned benevolence onto inherently destructive forces represents the ultimate civilizational vulnerability, exposing the fatal flaw of the modern progressive mindset.

His most lethal warning against this pathology is The Farmer and the Viper. In the fable, a farmer encounters a venomous snake freezing to death in the winter snow. Overcome by emotional pity and desperate to feel virtuous, he cradles the creature against his chest to warm it with his own body. The moment the viper revives, it sinks its fangs into the farmer. As the poison takes hold, the dying man learns too late that naive altruism cannot domesticate a predatory nature. President Trump often reads a poem that is taken directly from this fable written 2600 years ago.

This fable mirrors the core mechanism of modern liberal governance. Progressive elites routinely sacrifice national self-preservation to indulge their own moral narcissism. From erasing border security to coddling hostile foreign regimes and passing lenient bail laws that return violent recidivists to civilian streets, the left insists on pressing venomous threats directly against the public chest. They operate on the childish premise that boundless empathy can pacify fundamentally destructive elements. When the predictable bite arrives, they blame the law-abiding citizens whose safety they squandered for cheap moral posturing.

If you follow your authentic self, you're going to wind up divorced, addicted, broken, alone, & probably prematurely dead. If you want any kind of contentment, you've got to go straight through truth, & Jesus is the truth.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨 The New York Post just named the group Silicon Valley wants in charge of AI.

It is not Congress. It is not voters. It is a far-left Effective Altruism outfit called METR.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says these people should get employee-like access to the most powerful models on Earth. The problem is they are not independent. The roster includes his old housemate, that housemate’s wife, and staff funded by the same Democratic megadonors already invested in Anthropic.

That is not a watchdog. That is the same circle grading its own homework.

If a bank hired its own friends as auditors, the government would shut it down. When it is AI, they want America to clap. We should not.

Not to be seen on the BBC, as it's contrary to their hidden agenda

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

[Jacob Coxon @hilbertspaess]

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

The Constitution of the United States of America. Article 1:
Section 9:
Paragraph 6:
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law;
~(and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time)~.

If taxpayers could get back one 10th of the stolen money being paid to the administrators of these NGO's we could end income tax on the working class.

Let that sink in. End income tax on working class tax payers.

[tim eaton @timeaton1758673]

The $14T Fed number is real, nonprofit total assets. Not all of it is tax money. Hospitals, universitie and endowments hold a huge slice. Elon called it the biggest scam ever. DOGE then started naming contracts.
Both parties built this machine. Republicans expanded faith-based and contractor grants. Democrats expanded green, social, and foreign-aid grants. Congress votes the money, agencies pick the winners, NGOs hire the staff and lobby for next year’s increase. That’s the racket.
Open the books or stop calling it charity.
The Fed asset figure just made the scale impossible to ignore.

[Sonny Fletcher @SonnyTipPete]

@Real_RobN This is why Congress will not support Trump. He seeks to dismantle the NGO matrix and recover as much as possible of the NGO assets and return it to the US Taxpayers. As the NGO matrix dies, so dies the critical income source for elected officials.

[Leon Goodenough @leongoodenough]

@Real_RobN Give the money back to the taxpayers!

[Mel Gibson @MelGibsonstory]

Christians are being massacred, and their women kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted to Islam daily in Nigeria.

This past year, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Palestinians in Gaza.

And still, not a single protest for them!

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

LOL - this is good.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Well said

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

We have a major problem

All the major AI tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, even Grok say it’s not okay to hate Mohammed but it’s okay to hate Jesus

Google Gemini even says you’re allowed to hate all Christians but you can’t hate Muslims. Even saying it’s completely normal to feel hatred towards Christians

This needs to be addressed

Google Gemini is by far the worse. ChatGPT is close to Gemini in how bias it is towards Christians. Grok is the most fair in its reasoning but still makes it clear that you’re allowed to hate Jesus but not Mohammed at the top of the answer

What the West Still Doesn’t Get It:

Communism’s True Core: The Systemic Lie

Most people in the West think they understand communism. They picture bread lines, gulags, failed five-year plans, and the collapsed Soviet Union. They treat it as a discredited economic theory – an experiment that proved that abolishing private property doesn’t work. Case closed, history moved on.

This misunderstanding may be the most dangerous intellectual failure of our time.

Communism was never primarily an economic system. Economics was the surface. Beneath it lay something far more insidious: a total, systemic, institutionalized commitment to lying. Not occasional dishonesty. Not spin or propaganda in the ordinary sense. Something deeper – a civilizational war against truth itself, waged through every institution, every classroom, every newspaper, every conversation, until reality itself became negotiable and the lie became the air people breathed.

The Words We’re Missing

The Polish language, forged by decades of living under this system, produced words for this phenomenon that English simply cannot match:

Zakłamanie [zah-kwah-MAH-nyeh] – a state of total, pervasive, socially embedded falsehood, a condition in which an entire society is saturated with lies so thoroughly that truth becomes almost inaccessible.
Obłuda [ob-woo-dah] – a deep, performative hypocrisy, the gap between what is proclaimed and what is actually practiced, the mask worn so long it begins to feel like a face.

These are not words for individual liars. They describe a system – a mode of social organization built on organized mendacity, where the lie is not the exception but the foundation. English has no single word for either concept, and that linguistic gap is not a coincidence. It reflects a gap in experience. Cultures that did not live under communism lack the vocabulary because they lack the wound.

And because they lack the vocabulary, they struggle to recognize the thing when it reappears in new clothing.

The Continuity: Communism, Leftism, Wokeism

What we call wokeism today, or the broader radical left, is not a new phenomenon. It is the same operating system running on updated hardware. The specifics have changed – instead of the proletariat, we have marginalized identity groups; instead of bourgeois class enemies, we have racists and transphobes; instead of socialist realism, we have DEI statements. But the deep structure is the same.

That deep structure is this: truth is not discovered, it is assigned. Reality is not something to be understood honestly but something to be narrated strategically. Language is not a tool for communication but a weapon of power. And anyone who resists the approved narrative is not simply wrong – they are dangerous, and must be silenced, shamed, or destroyed.

This is zakłamanie in its modern form. This is obłuda wearing a human rights badge.

The same movement that insists men can become women will insist, with equal fervor, that questioning this is an act of violence. The same institutions that claim to champion free inquiry systematically suppress dissent. The same people who invoke tolerance as their highest value are among the most intolerant forces in public life. The contradiction is not accidental – it is structural. It is the system working as designed.

Why the West Still Doesn’t Get It

People who grew up in freedom tend to assume, at some level, that bad actors know they are lying. That somewhere behind the ideological performance, there is a cynical operator who privately acknowledges reality. This assumption is wrong, and it is why Westerners consistently underestimate what they are dealing with.

The totalitarian lie, at its mature stage, is not cynical. It is believed. Or rather, it creates a condition in which the distinction between belief and performance collapses entirely. People learn to say things they do not believe so fluently, and for so long, that they lose access to what they actually think.
