While it is virtually impossible to get universities to seriously consider a mainstream conservative, schools eagerly hire professors such as Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, who recently unleashed an unhinged rant against the U.S. and the concept of borders. https://t.co/bZuyb7YuO8

"I would really call on Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of PREDATOR more than anyone"

"Maybe should stop pushing these communists!"

Bill Maher: “The woke hate me… They just hate. It’s an animating feature of their life to just feel superior to people that are just morally inferior because they don’t agree with them on 100% of everything. So that of course means that you are morally inferior.”

“If I thought that the people who hate me ever made an honest argument—they’re the people who don’t talk to me. The conservatives, who I don’t vote with or agree on many things, they’re always happy to talk.”

“It’s the woke people who are like—because they’re not really that bright or learned about the things they’re arguing about, so they don’t want to argue with me.”

“I always say to them, just engage on the argument I’m making. Tell me that the argument I’m making is wrong. No, it’s always you’re old, or you’re s*xist. These are labels, what about the argument?”

The way CALeg and Gov. Newsom quickly took the CA Department of Education away from the elected Superintendent and gave the power to the governor-- was that Democratic?

Assembly Education Chair Dr. Darshana Patel defended it.

I'm hardly someone who defends all of Trump and his antics but when you watch this, you realize you're dealing with a special type of rot that has infected the Democratic Party. It goes way beyond any of the Trumpian excesses. And it didn't begin with the party's unflinching support of Platner; rather it has been brewing for years with an embrace of leftism and radicalism that surpasses anything we have seen, even during the 1960s. This is the party that gave us open borders; DEI (the dumb notion that poor white people in the Midwest oppress the world's poor); spending blowouts that they said don't cause inflation before it hit 9%; Joe Biden's "strong" mental agility and Kamala Harris as some working class striver who suddenly became a policy wonk. It was fed through a compliant media that has been pretty compliant on Platner until, like Biden crapping his pants on a debate stage, is exposed for his dark side that can't be ignored.

What has happened to movies? Just seems like there are fewer great films than there were on average between around 1940-2010.

You can say the same for music, but although the problems overlap the two industries are not exactly analogous imho.

Paul Pelosi ran into a car, fled the scene & later told deputies that he knew he hit something

4 yrs ago he was convicted of (DUI) after crashing into a vehicle in the same area

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime.... so why isn't Pelosi in jail like you or I would be

Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials. The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?

Americans are very generous, but they draw the line when someone has been granted the immense privilege of American citizenship, then throws that gift in our faces by insisting that America on its own is trash—and needs them to reshape us in the image of the place they left.

Mamdani got the whole American dream in eight years. Came here as a kid, got citizenship in 2018, now he runs the biggest city in the country.

And on America's 250th birthday he sat down at George Washington's desk and told us everything wrong with the place.

I'm not even angry. I'm disappointed.

Here's the picture he painted:

He mocked the people who supposedly think America "becomes less the more people it welcomes."

Said it belongs "only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."

Called our streets a place where "masked agents" are "terrorizing" people.

Said the country's wealth was built by "calloused, dirt-streaked hands" and then left to rot.

Looked out from Washington's desk and called the Americans who built this economy "small" and "weak."

Okay Mamdani. You hate it so much, why'd you come here?

Let's put that picture up against the actual country.

He's a Muslim kid born in Uganda and he's the mayor of New York. A guy back in his own birthplace said it plainly: over there he'd have had to claw his way in. Here we held the door open.

We've got the most diverse Congress in our history. It was never about skin color, no matter how many years the left spent forcing that story onto a country that kept proving them wrong.

A machine that grinds immigrants down? Nearly half the Fortune 500 was started by immigrants or their kids. 231 companies.

Apple, son of a Syrian.

Google, a kid who came over from the Soviet Union.

Amazon, son of a Cuban.

Put them together and they out-earn Japan, out-earn Germany. That's not a country grinding people into the dirt. That's a country handing them the keys.

It's been and always will be the land of opportunity.

And more people want in here than anywhere else alive. 53 million immigrants live here, the most of any nation on earth. We're 4% of the world's people and we hold 17% of the world's migrants.

Every year since 2007 you ask the whole planet where it'd go if it could go anywhere, the answer comes back the same. America. Number one. The line to get in wraps around the globe.

Here's the line he won't draw. I will.

Legal immigration built this country. The strivers. That's the front door working the way it's supposed to, and I'll defend it all day. You need to earn your spot, respect our laws and customs.

But that's not what we're running anymore.

Four years of Biden's open border blew the doors off. The foreign-born share of this country just hit 15.8%. An all-time high. Higher than Ellis Island, more than triple what it was in 1970.

The Census Bureau didn't expect that number until 2042 and we smashed past it. And on top of it, a record 14 million people here illegally, who cut in front of every single person who did it the right way.

The front door built America from Ellis Island to today. The fence is a different thing. Pretending they're the same is how you end up calling every American who wants a secure border a bigot.

And we've earned the right to standards. This is the most wanted country on the planet. We get to choose who walks in. You want in? Build something. Contribute. Earn it. Nobody's owed anything.

You come illegally, you commit crimes, you steal from taxpayers, you should get deported. That's not terrorizing the streets.

Mamdani walked through that front door in 2018. He of all people should be defending it. Instead he stood at Washington's desk and spent his speech blurring the line between the people who came the right way and the ones who broke in.

The man even admitted out loud that America is exceptional. Then spent the rest explaining why it isn't. On the one day the whole country stops to celebrate itself, he reached for the darkest story he could find.

That's not a man who's lost about America. That's a man who's angry at the country that gave him everything he has.

You don't like it here? Nobody made you come.

Nobody's stopping you from leaving. But you won't. They never do. Because there's nowhere else on earth that hands a person this much of a shot.

This country took him in and made him a mayor. He owes it. It doesn't owe him a thing.

We're not perfect. We're the best odds a human being has ever been handed. 250 years old, the richest and freest country alive, and the whole world is still clawing to get in while nobody's trying to leave.

They hold America to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to, then act shocked it falls short.

It's nonsense.

Respect the country. Especially when it's the reason you're standing at that desk at all.
