@WallStreetApes LA? Who cares? Their officials were elected by them. Who are we to say they can't have what they want. Same with NYC. Moving is expensive but, in some cases, definitely worth it.

@isaacrrr7 I know firsthand that some folks treat the truth as malicious and assume hatred if you do not actively support protected classes. Silliness. Purposefully obtuse reasoning.

"It's not your country, it's our country."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun tells CNN that he is sick of Hezbollah using his country and his people as a bargaining chip.

It amazes me how so many Westerners are surprised when people come forward to say they hate living next to terrorists who would happily let them die for a chance to see the Middle East free of Jews.

@Handre Well said, but I would add that if the Defense Department was audited and waste removed, we would have a lower federal budget with no harm to our economy.

Military Keynesianism remains the most destructive economic myth in modern politics, convincing generations of politicians that blowing things up creates prosperity. You hear this fallacy every time Congress debates defense spending: wars ended the Great Depression, World War II saved the economy, military contracts create jobs.

The broken window fallacy explains why this thinking fails so catastrophically. When you build a bomber, those resources cannot build hospitals, factories, or consumer goods that people actually want. The almost $1T Pentagon budget in 2026 represents $1T not spent on productive capital formation. Every F-35 fighter jet costs $80 million+, which could have funded dozens of small businesses or manufacturing equipment. The opportunity cost stays invisible because you never see the prosperity that never existed.

War production destroys wealth by definition. Tanks and missiles provide zero utility to consumers once manufactured. They sit in warehouses or get blown up overseas. Compare this to a smartphone factory: the phones improve lives, generate ongoing economic value, and create real consumer surplus. Military contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon understand this perfectly. They lobby for endless conflicts because war transfers wealth from taxpayers directly into their accounts.

The employment argument collapses under basic economic logic. Yes, Raytheon employs engineers and factory workers. Those same engineers could design medical devices, electric vehicles, or semiconductor equipment if the market allocated their labor instead of political decisions. Military jobs represent capital and labor trapped in unproductive activities by government fiat.

Politicians love military Keynesianism because it lets them claim economic benefits while pursuing geopolitical goals. You cannot bomb your way to prosperity when every explosion represents wealth destruction funded by wealth confiscation.

Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...

...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!

Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.

Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."

He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!

REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!

@Cheeto_Chicken @matt_everhard Ignorance on your part is no excuse for insults and lies. Blocking you since you are accusing me of something I did not do to people that I never mentioned.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Cheeto_Chicken @matt_everhard I have 10 toes and I am not ashamed. I don't need a banner for it.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Cheeto_Chicken @matt_everhard All I can say is look up it up before you start indignantly and falsely accusing.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Polycarpfriend @matt_everhard I was quoting Jesus from his discussion of marriage and divorce. I have no problem with Genesis, or the deep time of creation, or evolution, or well-founded science. I understand precisely your point. My focus is to reconcile all to the teachings of Jesus.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Cheeto_Chicken @matt_everhard What bigotry? You misuse that word. Also pride in what precisely? If you have any problem with something Jesus said, regardless of who quotes it, take it up with him. Like you barkin' up the wrong tree, Dawg.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Cherylnyc2 @matt_everhard Could be, but I think kinda the other side of it is God is looking for good hearted people and the ones He wants are not always who one might think. Besides we need not judge evil ones because Satan has already been judged - waste of time and effort.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Cherylnyc2 @matt_everhard Actually, I was quoting Jesus from his discussion of marriage and divorce but either source can be reconciled one with the other. He got it right; I just repeated it.

@Polycarpfriend @matt_everhard “Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning made them male and female?" Argue it with Jesus. He said it.

@shadowbanevader @matt_everhard ... joy that cannot be taken and eternal life - accomplished!

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@Cheeto_Chicken @matt_everhard Who is discriminating? “Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning made them male and female?" Argue it with Jesus. He said it.

[Bob Christian @robertcbobjr]

@rvanhee13403 @matt_everhard Jesus sent us as witnesses. He is just celebrating what Jesus said about male and female. Candles are for light.
