@9mmsmg My family medicine Nurse Practitioner who for the previous 15 years had been calm and conservative prescribed an SSRI after Covid was ending after my offhand remark that I was missing my friends. Sounded nuts, a friend who legit needed them years ago said NOPE and that was that

It's... right there in the column. The electoral college for starters, and most Democrats either want to expand the Supreme Court, or in the case of El-Sayed, imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices and allow each presidential term the same number of Supreme Court appointments. Separate from the Constitution, he wants to abolish the filibuster, ICE and private health insurance.

The Democratic Socialists of America platform calls to abolish the U.S. Senate and “replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.”

This process only works if you read what what I write. I can't read it for you.

In a recent television interview, the co-chair of the DSA, Megan Romer, affirmed that her party’s agenda includes abolishing borders and giving amnesty to anyone currently in the U.S. illegally, abolishing prisons, and instituting government or public ownership of most large corporations.

If you abolish prisons, what do you do with someone who defies the law by establishing a prison?

My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

So what if a Muslim wins an election in America and becomes a congressman or senator? Why is that any different from an Italian winning an election?

Let me tell you.

An Italian has a national identity, Italian, that is tied to a defined territory: the borders of Italy.

He may celebrate Italian holidays, follow Italian politics, send money home, or even dream of returning one day. None of this is inherently antithetical to the American nation-state.

The Italian American immigrant does not believe Ohio is part of Italy. His attachment is territorial. It is confined to a nation whose boundaries are recognized by everyone, including himself.

Islam presents something fundamentally different.

Islam is not merely a religion practiced by people from many nations. Muslims belong to a single civilization that transcends every nation.

A Muslim may be Egyptian, Pakistani, Nigerian, Bosnian, or Indonesian, but he belongs to something larger than the nation-state: the ummah.

The ummah is not a country with fixed borders. Its political horizon encompasses the entire world.

That is why Muslims repeatedly say that Islam will enter every home.

The ummah is not Italy. It has no border because it is the entire world.

This transnational identity is fundamentally antithetical to the American national sovereignty.

An Italian American may work to advance Italian causes, but those causes remain bounded by Italy.

A Jewish American may work to advance Israel’s interests, but those interests remain tied to a particular state with defined borders.

No Italian wants Italy to govern America. No Jew wants Israel to govern America. Muslims want Islam to rule America.

Islam is a state being presented to Americans as a religion, and Americans are electing Islamic politicians to rule them without realizing that they are electing citizens of another country whose priorities will never be American.

@BeeBeeSunshine @SharylAttkisson I was in Tokyo in the 90s for brief trips and then this year for about a week, for fun, had a ball. During the latter, outside of obvious tourist spots like the Ghibli museum in Mitaka, I did not encounter many locals who spoke much English (I'm not complaining).

@FischerKing64 Lived through shrinkflation in the 70s, it was not fun, the reboot was a bad idea.

@gail_gailmd @ZitoSalena To protect it. Apparently it's uncovered periodically for display.

It was an incredible honor to interview @SenFettermanPA today at the @israelcc conference today.

I shared one of the most powerful moments of my life, standing outside his office with a family just two weeks after October 7th. He had every hostage poster hanging.

@esrtweet Loving Linux Mint. Installed it clean on a new desktop my nephew built for me, then on two used laptops that are my primaries. Very satisfying overwriting Windows.
