I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards.
When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted.
Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation.
But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence?
Are you serious?
For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop.
This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality.
And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.”
Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence?
You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant.
So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.”
Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t.
Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫
A non-American like me know that this isn't possible because federal is higher on the authority chain than state. Yes, you can make these into law; however, it would only affect the states and local law enforcement agencies. Only Congress can pass laws for federal agencies.
This change will affect solo and independent creators who don’t have the capital to cover the costs of the subscription. We’ll (definitely) see a reduction in new games by smaller creators.

Why Socialism Doesn't Work, Explained for a 10-Year-Old.
You're in a class of 30 students. One kid works like crazy and gets an 18 average. Another does nothing and gets a 4. The teacher decides it's unfair and gives everyone the class average: 11.
The one who had 18 stops working. Why bother if it changes nothing? The one who had 4 keeps doing nothing. Why work if you're handed 11 for free?
The next year the class average is 7. Then 5. Then 3.
The teacher doesn't get it. He thinks the problem is that the students aren't supportive enough of each other. So he starts punishing those who don't put in enough effort. He monitors everyone. He decides who studies what. He bans switching classes.
That's exactly what happened. Every time. In every country. No exceptions.
USSR, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, East Germany. 40 attempts. Same result. Every time.
Socialism punishes those who produce and rewards those who don't. Everyone ends up producing nothing. And when no one's producing anymore, the government uses force to make people work.
It's not an accident. It's the design.

You go into a relationship and forget all your friends, when y’all now break up you’ll be looking like a lost sheep. Your friends are as important as the person you’re dating, don’t let anyone suffer. Find the right balance
It doesn’t matter which side you’re on. Left, right, centre. Political violence is NEVER the answer.
If Charlie Kirk doesn’t make it - then it’s already too late. Let’s hope God watches over him and doesn’t let go. 🙏
Regardless of political standings, disagreements, or controversies - nobody should get shot for speaking their opinions.
Let’s pray and hope for Charlie Kirk. 🙏
A company going from private to public is the dumbest mistake ever. The only goal when you become public is to earn more money.
Roblox generates revenue from these games and their users, thereby pleasing their stockholders. Strange world we live in. 😐
