I ran into some Europeans at the Trader Joe’s. They are visiting the DC area for the World Cup. Guess what excited them on the shelves behind me. The humus! LMAO. I would have thought they would go for the ravioli.
Then when they went to check out, the cashier asked where they were from. The answer was “Slovenia!” The cashier had no idea what that was. So they said “like your First Lady.” He still had no clue. “Melania Trump,” they helped out. Crickets still. So they got the full American experience at checkout. It was perfect.
I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen.
Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor.
My wife says, "Get it out."
I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet.
The children back into the hallway.
I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.
Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.
When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.
Anyway, that's Western migration policy.
@GavinNewsom Before you tax the most monetarily successful man EVER who has created 2 of the most successful companies in American history, can you please explain how you have spent taxpayer dollars wisely in your own state?
Stop asking for more money from ANYONE until you spend it correctly
Me—her oldest sister. I’ll watch Valentina when my parents can’t. In fact, all my siblings argue over who will get to take care of her in the future. Only a selfish sicko would assume her siblings do not love her and would not instinctually take care of her when my parents are gone. You people are cold, egocentric, eugenic monsters.
John Thune after the SAVE America Act got 50 votes in the Senate:
“We don’t have the votes.”
John Thune after FISA 702 got 47 votes in the Senate:
“We’ll have to keep trying.”
Why the difference?
@BIG_PARMENIDES I have no regrets having kids. Find a decent woman and have kids. I wasn’t in my 40a but I wasn’t young either. I work with ppl that have had kids in their 40’s. I have heard exactly 0 of them say they wish they hadn’t.
Knowing what I know now as a married, father of children and being 54 years old:
If I was not married and had no kids yet I’d do just about anything to have kids. I’d marry as quickly as I possibly could and concerns about finances or any other circumstances would be distant behind the goal of having kids asap. I’m telling you that whatever the excuses are they are unlikely to matter.
There is no greater joy or purpose in life in my opinion. 40s isn’t too late. Have kids asap. Everyone.
If only there was a doctor who was screaming bloody murder, filing lawsuits, writing bills, and trying to get the medical field, the media, and the public to listen.
But you canceled that doctor. Slandered him. Destroyed his career.
That doctor is me.
@dom_lucre No. The staggered stance while they’re doing it makes me nervous though. Little ones seems like she’s getting swept with the muzzle behind her. Nothing may be loaded but guns should always be treated as though they are.
I FOUND IT!
Had to watch CSPAN just to get this clip.
👉The US Postmaster General just said that the USPS will NOT deliver mail-in ballots
to states that have NOT turned in their voter lists👈
President Trump’s Executive Order is responsible for this.
Gain-of-function research in foreign labs is a public health threat. Funding it with taxpayer dollars without oversight is reckless. Hiding the evidence is a crime against the American people. Dr. Fauci's NIH did all three.
They funded dangerous experiments in Wuhan, buried the evidence, and silenced anyone who tried to tell the truth. I have spent years fighting to expose it, and I am not finished.
It’s all fake and gay.
Government and media manufactured the “class war” then pivoted to race war to absolve the state of blame for the 2008 crisis, sideline the Tea Party with racist media attacks, and consolidate power in leftist hands.
The crash was produced by Fed money printing, Fannie and Freddie guarantees, and government mandates that forced risky loans into the system.
When it collapsed the insiders got bailed out. The public absorbed the damage.
The Tea Party demanded accountability for the bailouts and spending.
Media met that challenge by branding the movement racist from the start. That attack neutralized a direct threat to big government and crony finance.
Occupy was tolerated because it focused on banks and left the state’s central role untouched.
And since the “racist” accusations worked on the Tea Party, the pivot to race delivered new tools for state expansion.
Media usage of the word racist surged after 2012. Equity and systemic claims became the justification for deeper government reach into hiring, lending, education, and speech.
The result is consolidated leftist power. The administrative state grew larger and more intrusive. Progressive ideology gained institutional dominance while opposition gets preemptively discredited rather than debated on substance.
This sequence protected the government from reckoning with the crisis it created and shifted authority toward those who thrive on bigger government and identity based control.
Now the woke narrative is crumbling, watch them pivot back to a class war.
Stupid man. You’re training to be a lawyer? Pull up the stipulated facts signed by the defendants who took plea deals. They admitted to organizing behind an antifa ideology. Their testimonies at trial detailing the firearms and tactical training by the cell was critical to convincing the jurors the charged crimes had been committed.
"A socialist can set up a company, give shares to all the workers, put workers on the board, pay executives the same as everyone else and if there’s any profit remaining they can freely donate it to the government.
There is absolutely nothing stopping any socialist from living according to these values under a capitalist system." - @DanielPriestley
He's wrong about that. There is something that stops them.
Common sense.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! DNI Tulsi Gabbard has shocked the deep state by on her last day in office releasing bombshell files that Dr. Fauci used TAX DOLLARS to fund the WUHAN LAB responsible for COVID and millions of deaths
And he purposefully covered it up.
HE LIED TO CONGRESS! Fauci deserves charges!
Tulsi is a patriot 🇺🇸
“Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.”
“Dr. Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, alongside his hand-picked so-called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars.”
“All of this in a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth and shift the blame and attention away from Fauci's own actions.”
“The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders, like Dr. Fauci, covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe.”
⁉️Did You Know⁉️
America's Founders never envisioned Congress as a lifelong career.
When the First Congress met in 1789, members weren't paid annual salaries. Instead, they received a per diem, about $6 per day when Congress was in session.
The idea was simple:
Serve your country, then go home.
Most lawmakers were farmers, merchants, lawyers, and business owners who left their jobs temporarily to represent their communities before returning to private life.
In 1815, Congress voted itself an annual salary of $1,500.
The public was furious.
Many members lost reelection, and Congress quickly repealed the law.
For much of American history, serving in Congress was viewed as a temporary duty, not a profession.
Today, members earn $174,000 per year, receive generous benefits, maintain taxpayer-funded staffs, and many spend decades in office.
Some remain in Washington longer than they ever worked in the private sector.
The Founders envisioned citizen legislators.
What America has today is a permanent political class.
Would Congress make different decisions if members knew they would soon be returning home to live under the laws they passed?
