@TheHoogie Yep, done by ISIS. I believe ISIS destroyed an ancient Phoenician amphiteatre because it was pre-Islam. If the implication that the ONLY former colonizers destroyed things, than that is laughably incorrect

@wil_da_beast630 Considering there is an "Irish Pub" in every country on Earth, even the Top 5, for them to effectively rate Ireland as "mid" is wildly inaccurate

Secure the border. Enforce our laws. Reform immigration to serve America’s interests.

But racial judgment has NO PLACE in American ethos.

Bo’s fixation on skin color rejects the very principle America is supposed to defend: character over race or creed.

"We are inevitable."

No, you're not. It's the principles you scoff at that keep us standing here, blocking your path to the power you can't wait to abuse. And we'll still be standing here long after you've retreated back into the dark holes you've emerged from.

@ChristianHeiens You're not going to out-Identitarian the Left.

Hitler couldn't, with a far more uniform populace.

It's also bad tactics:
The Left declined in the past decade in no small part because the Identitarian groups in its coalition have turned fissiparous and cannibalized one another.

These stupid, depraved, evil fools trying to get a communist elected in Ohio. Amy Acton will destroy Ohio. Destroy people’s lives and livelihoods. Destroy families. But hey! At least the governor won’t be an Indian! Pure, unadulterated evil. Pray these fools don’t win.

Just returned from a trip to Japan. In truth, I think modern Tokyo is one of the great accomplishments in civilizational history. It is the apex city.

There are 40 million people living there with extremely high levels of *justified* social trust.

It's incredibly clean, orderly, and safe, and yet it doesn't feel totalitarian--at least not if you behave yourself like a civilized person. The respect for individual freedom is clear and visible.

Reaching such high levels of social harmony would be an accomplishment for a single neighborhood, but Tokyo happens to the biggest city in the world. The sheer size alone is unbelievable--the infrastructure alone boggles the mind--and yet it's coupled with ultra-high levels of social harmony. There's nothing else like it.

Truly, it gives me some pride as a human. What an incredible thing we've accomplished.

Trump is out here stacking wins and half the comment section is still playing the sad trombone.

“Nothing’s happening.”

Brother, the border just posted its quietest year in half a century. Catch-and-release is dead. Remain in Mexico is back. Releases collapsed. Nearly three million people left the country, including hundreds of thousands deported and others taking the self-deportation route with a plane ticket and cash bonus attached.

Violent crime dropped hard. Murder dropped. Robbery dropped.

Meanwhile, taxes got locked in and expanded. No Tax on Tips. No Tax on Overtime. Full expensing for factories and equipment. Agencies tore through regulations at a ridiculous pace. The Endangerment Finding got torched. Trillions in announced investment are aimed at factories, chips, steel, shipyards, energy, and supply chains.

Ford is moving production out of China. Toyota is shifting Tacoma production to Texas. American energy is surging. Five advanced reactors hit criticality after decades of paralysis. NATO got told to reach deeper into its own pockets. Golden Dome got funded. Military recruiting rebounded. The Supreme Court clipped the wings of nationwide injunctions and restored more control over the executive branch to the elected president.

And somehow the black-pill choir is still in the replies whining because their favorite issue did not arrive gift-wrapped by Tuesday.

That mindset is political self-sabotage.

Midterms are turnout elections. Democrats are thrilled when Republicans convince themselves nothing matters, nothing works, and staying home is some kind of principled stand.

Learn five receipts. Know them cold. Repeat them.

If you cannot name the wins, you are doing unpaid messaging work for the other team.

BREAKING: President Trump's capital gains tax cut discussions include "indexing" capital gains for inflation BEFORE taxes are calculated.

This would mean that taxes would be applied on gains adjusted for inflation.

For example, if you purchased a stock for $100,000 and sold it 5 years later for $200,000.

Under the current system, you would owe capital gains taxes on the full $100,000 gain.

But, if cumulative inflation over those 5 years was 20%, your inflation-adjusted cost basis would rise to $120,000.

This means you would only owe capital gains taxes on the $80,000 REAL gain, rather than the $100,000 nominal gain.

Trump has also suggested exemptions for sales of homes worth $2 million or less from capital gains taxes.

We expect more details soon.

[NorthBluePirate @NorthBluePirate]

@IamSean90 Not to mention taxing unrealized gains, that would literally destroy the entire incentive to invest. That policy alone is utterly disqualifying

@KingOfLighting So, people are upset about a beloved Strawhat flashback that's occurring during a fight between 2 characters we just met within the past 2 years? We can wait a bit. Loki and Imu will still be there when we get back

@KyleKulinski @SpanbergerForVA You realize Illinois Congressional District maps are literally a meme, right?

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

This meltdown is going to be very exciting.

The truth is simple, though. Massie wouldn't have lost except for having gone Woke Right and thus going after Trump. Woke Right and its unique brand of TDS are just not popular with the people, conservatives, the Republican Party, etc.

@MsMelChen @ConceptualJames In the Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Rousseau said, "The first person to build a fence around their property and claim 'this is mine' doomed all humanity". So, Rousseau is explicitly against private property. Literally THE definition of communism 100 years prior

Because the constant yap about bro came from Pakistan.

Never forget this. X and FB are not reality.

The only way groypers will influence this election is by voting Dem to topple a fairly solid candidate.
